AddNotification

You can use this function for Optiva workflows and Copy Methods.

Purpose

When AddNotification is called from any action or copy method, an entry is made in the Notification table for the field in the call to have a notification.

Notifications are defined as entries in the Message Code feature of Optiva. You can create entries with multiple language support. A blank detail code defaults to HEADER. Note that any existing notification will be overwritten by the value passed in. Allowable values for severity are 0, 1, and 2. Any other value will throw an Argument Exception.

To learn more about message codes, see the Infor CloudSuite PLM for Process Application Configuration Guide.

Note: There are optional parameters for symbol, object and detailCode. rowKey is reserved for future use.

Add Test Example

In this test, assume that 3 new message codes have been created:
  • C_INFO01
  • C_WARN01
  • C_ERR01
Specify notification text for the message codes.

If you add the following code to a workflow action, it will set Notifications on the Description, Class and Approval Code fields. If one or more of those fields doesn’t exist on the particular Symbol you are testing, an error message is displayed.

AddNotification("C_INFO01", "DESCRIPTION", 0)
    AddNotification("C_WARN01", "CLASS", 1)
    AddNotification("C_ERR01", "APPROVALCODE", 2)
    Return 111
