Custom code execution after entity import execution

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 5

Hi all,

I need some help.

I would like to call a class after a custom entity is done with the import of all records.
The methods I found so far like mapEntityToDataSource are executed per record during import. 
This is not an option since I want to call my class only once when the last record has been imported and the entity is "done".

What I want to achieve is an entity connected excel that creates purchase orders. 
The excel only contains purchase lines, no header data.
If I for example have 10 purchase lines in the excel and press publish I want the entity to insert the lines in a custom temp table.
When all 10 lines have bin imported I want to trigger a class that generates the PO header and adds the lines to the header.

Next time the user publishes a bunch of lines from the excel a new PO header will be generated and the lines will be added there.


Possible ways i can think of solving this would be
1. find a method that is called in the end of entity execution
2. If there's a message id or similar in the Odata call that i can get hold of.
3. Some how can get the number of lines contained in the entity batch.


All help is appreciated.

    Hi Oliver, There is a data entity method postTargetProcess which can be used if not required to insert records from ODATA.

    Hi Oliver,

    In addition to Mohit comments, refer to the below blog for data entity method call sequence.
