Trying to parameterize a hotel booking page where we need to enter check in, check out details etc. I created a page in object studio with various action/navigation stages for that web page. Now I need to call that object in process and loop it with input collection. When I am calling that object studio page in process studio action stage, I can select my object and action from dropdown, but under inputs tab not getting any row to drag and drop the input collection that I have created, how to do this ?
Seems you should go take Blue Prism tutorial on their homepage, as this very basic, it's how to call another process/Business object.
Short description:
Create a process which is your main.
Create your functionality in a Business object.
From your process you will pull in an 'Action' block and find your
business object in the drop down.
When it comes to input/output. Click on Start/End
to create the Input/Output you need.
Hope this was helpful.
I'm not sure if I understand your problem correctly, but shouldn't you input your data in START step in proces studio?
So, in START step in proces studio you input data and then(whit that input) you go into actions from your object.
Hope it helps.
make sure you place your data items/collections which ever is output in run time object in END stage, and make sure you uncheck hide from process box.
In process you will be able to find necessary output from object and will involve in your rest action
hope this helps :)
You need to provide input parameters in the Start properties of your Object. Inputs to a page in Object Studio provide the means for a Process to supply data to the Business Object.
Essentially, the Business Object is saying to the Process, “What check in, check out details etc do you want me to work with?”.
Hope this helps.
I had the same issue, it is resolved!
When you create an Object and go to Application Modeller, make sure you choose "Browser Based Application" instead of Windows Based Application. I had selected Windows based applocation and it was not showing up in the Process Studio. I hope this

I'm running into an odd issue where my Flow will not trigger correctly upon modifying a list item. I have flow set up to copy appended Col1 content to Col2 which can then be listed as an 'updated comment' in my list's default view.
It's the same logic as a SP2013 workflow I've been using, but for whatever reason the flow will not automatically trigger when an item is created/modified in my list - it will only trigger if I go back into the flow and manually save it (the Flow) again. Additionally, if I manually save the Flow a second time, it wipes Col2's existing content.
I am not intimately familiar with any quirks found in the 'When an item is created or modified' SharePoint trigger in Flow, but it's possible I'm missing something obvious.
Below is the logic I'm using.
'Comment Update' MS Flow example
Any help would be much appreciated, I haven't been able to find any posts going over this Flow trigger specifically. It seems like there would either be a very obvious solution to this, or this is a glaring bug with Flow.
Thank you for your time.
I want to automate a process in web application using UIPath. There is a check box which need to be checked everytime I want to generate report. I was trying to automate using "click" in UI automation. There is no issue on the first process.
However, the check box doesn't reset to "uncheck" after the first process is done.
So the next time I run the process again, the check box get clicked again into "uncheck" condition.
I want to create an automation to check if the check box state is "checked" or "uncheck". If the state is "checked", then I want to skip the click check box process.
What is the ideal way to do this? I imagine using workflow flow decision. But if anybody can elaborate which function I need touse. It would be a great help!
You could just use the UiPath activity Check. You can find it in Ui Automation > Element > Control. Look for the property Action and in your case choose check (default). This won't check the checkbox if its already checked.
You can use the Get Attribute activity and you'll need to identify the attribute name for the checkbox that you are looking to extract. You can then assign it's value to a variable(probably a string) and check the value and proceed accordingly. In my test case it was the "text" attribute I needed to use which brought back a value of either checked or unchecked.
I'm using JDeveloper 11.1.1.7.0
I have followed this tutorial http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18941_01/tutorials/jdtut_11r2_43/jdtut_11r2_43.html to create a basic and plain left-side menu in my application.
This tutorial shows more advance topics, but I have created a simple left-side menu, with a list.
I haved created an unbounded task flow, drag/drop a wildcard, then the views, then the control flows, ... It works perfect
In the JSF template, in the left-side, I have this code:
<af:navigationPane id="pt_np1" hint="list" value="#{supervision_menu}" var="supervisionInfo">
<f:facet name="nodeStamp">
<af:commandNavigationItem text="#{supervisionInfo.label}" id="pt_cni1"
destination="#{supervisionInfo.destination}"
action="#{supervisionInfo.doAction}"/>
</f:facet>
I need an advanced feature, and I want to show/hide some options, based on a parameter.
I need to execute a view object with this parameter, process the results, so I get the information to know which options could be shown or hidden.
So, my questions are:
How could I force to execute this check as the first step of this flow?
In generated menu.xml and in af:commandNavigationItem, there are visible attribute. Where should I place the condition?
Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks
Not exactly sure what you mean by this:
I need to execute a view object with this parameter.
Assuming you mean "execute a QUERY against the VO", then if you used a ViewCriteria to create the where clause fragment that gets ANDed to the VO where clause, then you can use ExecWithParams (here,here, here) and drag this method onto the task flow as part of the navigation to the View. Then this will execute prior to entry to the view. Or use you can use Invoke on there Executables of the Binding layer - drag to top of list of executables, but this is no longer the recommended way, being replaced with the previous method.
if you are not using ViewCriteria (why not?) then one suggestion is to expose a method on the AM containing the VO, and pass the parms to this method and have it call the VO, but this is basically what ExecWithParms does. This method, once exposed, could be utilized in the same fashion as I mentioned above. If you can describe more precisely what you are trying to do I can try to be of more help.
As I told to Joe, the final solution requires to change the approach.
I have made an unbounded task flow, then created a menu, then adding ADF Security and finally shown/hidden options, in function of user roles/permissions.
I hope it helps. Thank you
I am using Microsoft coded-ui testing (CUIT) in VS 2010 Ultimate to test an ASP.Net 4.0 site.
I have the source code to the ASP.Net site, so I can modify it as needed.
I've got record/playback working.
I can write simple assert statements in the test methods to check properties of the UITestControl descendents (HTML links, tables, etc.) and compare them to expected values.
I want to add properties to user controls (ASCX's) and pages in my site, to pass back useful values to the testing code.
For example, I have a user control that implements a menu which displays different sets of menu items depending on the role of the current user.
Rather than having the test script click at the various menu items to check whether or not they're present, I want to add a property to the user control. This property will return info to the caller, listing the menus and menu items present.
I've found info on the Net on how to do this in WinForms, but this code relies on accessability, which I believe is only useful for CUIT with WinForms. Likewise, I've found info on how to do it with WPF/SL.
The answer may be related to getting the UITestControl.NativeElement property, then calling a method that overrides GetProperty(), but I haven't been able to get this approach to work.
Can anyone provide a short code sample showing how to add a property to an ASCX or ASPX page, where that property can be written in C# code-behind, and read by Microsoft Coded UI Testing (CUIT) code?
Thanks!

I haven't found an answer to this question, but I have written some code to solve the underlying problem.
I realized that adding properties to user controls would keep the validation data together with the control under test, but only for the case where the section of UI was implemented as a user control.
There are at least two other cases I need to cover:
1) Third-party controls added to the page, for example ASPxGridView, ASPxTreeView, etc.
2) Items that are not visible in the UI, for example the user profile data for the current user.
When you're running CUIT validation code with a Web app, the data you have available is DOM data, i.e. a tree that represents the contents of the Document Object Model of the contents of the browser window. There is no Request object, .Net Page object, etc. This DOM data is accessible through the UIMap object.
I don't want to wrap the third-party controls in user controls, because doing so would disturb the application under test, causing me to re-write the application code that touches properties and events of the grid, tree view, etc. Too intrusive for testing code.
So I created a code interface (ITestable) that contains a dictionary of string values, and a list of ITestable children.
In the LoadComplete event handler of the master page, I create an ITestable for the master page and fill the list with child ITestable objects for the child page, which can themselves contain lists of children.
I serialize this object into JSON, then store it in a hidden field on the master page.
I added the hidden field to the UIMap.
The test validation code deserializes the ITestable, then looks through it for values that need validation.
The controls create their own ITestable objects, so they can easily fill the objects with values that may be needed for validation, rather than forcing the test code to manipulate the UI trying to read validation values.
For example, a tree view could return its contents without the testing code having to click on each node and try to read the value displayed there. Additional properties (visible, enabled, etc.) can be stored in the values dictionary for each ITestable object.
CUIT has some very powerful features. I would very much appreciate it if Microsoft would document some best practices for solving these non-trivial validation problems. I've read through the Microsoft documentation but haven't found much on this topic for Web apps.
We have a list with 1000+ phone numbers in it. This list is sorted in a specific order by due dates and other criteria. This order is very important and needs to be maintained in the solution.
We have a group of callers (roughly 4) that will be calling the numbers in this list in the order they are sorted by. These callers are to be presented with one list item at a time, via an InfoPath form, and once they make the call they will update the list item and be presented with the next list item dictated by the sort order.
Here's the problem: This would be very easy with 1 caller but with 4 callers we don't want them calling the same people more than once. So they need grab the next list item off the top of the pile that isn't already taken by another caller.
Is there a way to build a webpart (remember without Visual Studio unfortunately) that as soon as it loads would find the first list item that is unassigned and assign it to the current user?
We could accomplish this whole thing manually of course by having an admin assign all the calls each day with a large copy/paste in Datasheet View but automatic would be soooo much better.
I will mention that I DO NOT have Visual Studio so I don't have that as an option here. But I do have SharePoint 2010, SharePoint Designer 2010, and InfoPath 2010.
I hope this makes sense and any ideas, thoughts, approaches would be greatly appreciated since I've run out! Thanks!!!!!
You can develop SharePoint web parts using Visual Studio Express, but its a bit harder as you miss some of the tools that make your life easier like WSPBuilder etc.
SO - Building webparts with Visual Studio 2010 Express
Another alternative would be to use javascript client side to access SharePoints Web Services via SPService - then nothing more than notepad is required.
You're really using a wrench as a hammer with either of these approaches though, so I've got to say - how much do you value your time at? ;)
I can offer a very bodgy alternative; presuming all the items are added piecemeal (not in the same second). You could add a calculated column to assign each item at random on addition, using the following formula:
CHOOSE(MOD(SECOND([Created]),4)+1,"Operator1","Operator2","Operator3","Operator4")
I suggest a workflow that is assigned to listItem's edit; that when a caller edits its extra field like "Operating(bool)" after the calling workflow completes; the item is disabled somehow.
Only overhead of this is a caller needs to edit the item every time.
But the easy part is a listviewer webpart (oob) can be used just with a default view setting like "Operating" field is "false" only.
This is simple. On form load, instruct the form to update a status field to (let's say 'assigned') and automatically resubmit the form back. Your infopath list that pulls in the next number to call would need to exclude any that are in the assigned status. You'd also need to re-query your data connection to refresh the list each time before a call is made to grab the next available. Once the caller is finished, they can click a button that submits the form, clears the status field and closes the form.
Yo can also pull in the active items into an infopath form using a secondary data connection. There is a way to use the insert hyperlink into the form field, and make any of your fields a URL hyperlink directly to the individual item. Although you'd have to have the URL epsaved in a field in the form the item was created in. That's easy to do, you can just con at the URL with the form name.
