OnInserting not firing on a table

Posted on by DanAx

I've added a few fields through a table extension, when a record is inserted into the table I want to populate those fields with some data prior to the insert.

I've created a static class and added the event to it, but it doesn't fire, My breakpoint in visual studio never gets hit and the data doesnt show up in the table. I've done all of the normal, database sync, reboot, etc.

static class MyRetailGiftCardTransactionsEventHandlers

{
[DataEventHandler(tableStr(RetailGiftCardTransactions), DataEventType::Inserting)]
public static void RetailGiftCardTransactions_onInserting(Common sender, DataEventArgs e)
{
RetailGiftCardTransactions r = sender as RetailGiftCardTransactions;
r.myCustomField ='1234';
}

}

Anyone have any input?

Hi Daniel Budimir,

Thats probably because retail guys do not like inserts, they do "doInsert" because of some strange reason, so your event won't be triggered. You need to find a place where record gets inserted into DB and add your code there, it could be multiple places, cross references and debugger will help you. One of them is RetailGiftCardTransactions::add().

Thanks for answering ievgen, I can get a prehandler for the add method but that doesn't buy me much as far as I can tell. Any other suggestions? I'm calling retailtransactionservice which in turn calls retailtransactionservicetransactions so I'm having some trouble getting to that object.

You definitely need to go back to MS and ask for extension points. That is the issue they have and they need to fix it. As a stupid work around you can do post handler to RetailGiftCardTable::createCard, set the fields and call update, it's extra DB call but you have no other choice.

Hello

I also had this problem but fortunately solved it.

You can use the following:

"ttsbegin;

r.myCustomField ='1234';

ttscommit:"
