Using the Submit button on a form to trigger an email

I suggest you read the status bar message for when the job is submitted and trigger ProcessFlow via an AGS call to WFWK. If you add the trigger based upon the Submit button then if the user cancels the job submission you will have sent your email in error.

Are you speaking of something similar to this i found in the DS User guide? That script below can trigger a process flow for an email notice?



function FORM_OnAfterTransaction(data)

{

// was transaction successful?

if (formState.agsError) return;

sMsg = lawForm.getMessage();

if (sMsg=="Add Complete - Continue")

{

var s =portalWnd.AGSPath+"?_PDL=LOGAN”+

“&_TKN=WFWK.1&_EVT=ADD&_RTN=DATA&_LFN=ALL&_TDS=IGNORE”+

“&FC=Add&SERVICE=ServiceName&WORK-TITLE=ServiceTitle”+

“&_DELIM=%09&_OUT=TEXT&_EOT=TRUE";

portalWnd.httpRequest(s);

}

}

Yes, I think the status message would be "Job Submitted" but that's what I'm suggesting.

I don't like checking message text, can change.

I would suggest change the Submit button action to a function called say SubmitJob, create the javascript function with the AGS call to WFWK then the last line of:

lawformDoFunction("S")'

When i paste in the above script, i'm getting the error mssg on save of "unterminated string constant" Do I have to declare any variables to get this line to work? --> portalWnd.httpRequest(s);

Make sure all your double quotes are correct, retype each of them.

That did it. Thanks, now i can see that the double quotes came over differently when i pasted it in from the pdf.

I'm getting an error now in portal "The value WFWK.1 is invalid for the parameter _TKN.

/servlet/Router/Transaction/Erp?_PDL=LOGAN&_TKN=WFWK.1&_EVT=ADD&.........."

I found a Lawson article id on this 558526.
---------------------------------------------------

I created a custom program and it runs in Lawson Insight Desktop (LID), but I receive the following error in Lawson Portal:
 
The value is invalid for the parameter _TKN
 
How do I resolve this?

Resolution:  
To resolve this error, following these steps:
 
1. Open a LID command line
2. Type pgmdef and tab down to the custom program
3. Enter F6 Define
4. Choose Program
5. Go down to Run Type and change it to Four G/L
6. Then recompile the program. 
7. Now try it in Portal again.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I verified that it is type Four G/L and I recompiled it without errors.

My form in LID will work normally but it doesnt execute the ags code i inserted with Design Studio.

WFWK is now in the application product line instead of the LOGAN product line.

Finally! It works when I do an inquire and look for that type of portal message but when I change the message i'm looking for to this 'Job Has Been Submitted' and submit it my alert is blank. There is a second box that comes up on that screen to submit it again that I think is stopping this process. How do I have my script look for the final after transaction message?

sMsg = lawForm.getMessage();

alert(sMsg)

if (sMsg == "Job Has Been Submitted")
{

Thanks for your help David and Gary!

This is what i ended up using:


function FORM_OnBeforeTransaction(fc)
{
var vCompany=lawForm.getDataValueById("text4")
var vUpdate=lawForm.getDataValueById("select3")

if (vCompany == "1234" || vCompany == "0987" && vUpdate == "Y")
{
if (fc == "S")
{
var s = portalWnd.AGSPath+"?_PDL=TEST"+
"&_TKN=WFWK.1&_EVT=ADD&_RTN=DATA&_LFN=ALL&_TDS=IGNORE"+
"&FC=Add&SERVICE=test100&WORK-TITLE=test100email"+
"&_DELIM=%09&_OUT=TEXT&_EOT=TRUE";

portalWnd.httpRequest(s);
}
}
return true;
}

Rather than hard-coding the productline in the AGSPath ("?_PDL=TEST"), how can a variable be defined to store the productline? --Marcy

Use the following to get the Product line that is set up on the User Profile.
var vProd = portalWnd.oUserProfile.getAttribute("productline")

You can then reference it in your AGS call
var s = portalWnd.AGSPath
+ "?_PDL=" + vProd

You don't have to store it to a variable first, you can just put:

var s = portalWnd.AGSPath + "?_PDL=" + portalWnd.oUserProfile.getAttribute("productline")
