Hi All,
How I will identified, which user submitting the workflow?
I passed as a parameter curUserId (). As workflow is running in batch. Shall I identified the user ,who submitting the workflow ?
Please give me more shed on this
AD(Active Directory) account is not an ax related issue.
I'm sharing the link below to give you an idea, but it will show changes based on the environment you use,
docs.microsoft.com/.../ee617240(v=technet.10)
Very high probability of you are not authorized And there is probably already such an account (usually opened during ax installation).
In its simplest form, you can have information by examining which user opened other batches. (Or ask for help from system experts working in your company)
There is no such thing as assigning the service account to the batch. You need to connect to ax with the relevant service account and set up the batch as you would with your own user.(Of course you must have created a user in ax for account)
Thanks Ergun,
What I understand, the Active directory service account with never expired password is best option for repitative batch job in AX.
Which having less chance to fail.
Am I right ?
Kindly let me know, how will create AD service account ? Where assign that service account in batch?
Please give me more shed on this
The problem is that you set up the batch with your own user. When the batch is set up with normal users, if the user is closed for any reason, the batches will also give an error.
Also, as you are experiencing right now, when you set up a batch with your own user, you cannot tell whether the records were created manually or by batch. So use a different user(a service user or admin)
"Repeating batches must not be under a regular AD account, but as a service account. Create an Active Directory service account, with a password which does not expire. Provide the necessary AX user credentials, allow log on as a service, then set up all your recurring batch jobs under that credential"
Thanks Ergun,
I have also used before curUserId as parameter. But I couldn't proof, is it batch user I'd ir normal user I'd. It is talking my user I'd as curUserId.
As you said
"also possible to use a batchUserId(curUserId) or a UserId to be defined in the parameters, (with this logic you can known the workflows was created by batchjob.)"
*** How can I justified, the userid is batch userid or not?
Becuse as per business logic , I need to pass parameter batch user I'd only while submitting the WF.
Please give me more shed on this
Yes, but as I said before, it's about the process, you have to decide which user should start the workflow.
I think it is most logical to use the user who created(createdby) this table record.
If you use the worker field there is possibilty changing user later but you can't change createdby field (of course for records that are not sent to the workflow)
If the records you want to send to worflow are created by batch, one of these two fields will be empty(or batchUserWorker) and the other will be batch user Id. In this case, it is necessary to look at alternative fields.
You don't have to use either of these two fields. There are similar fields on Vendor or item.
It is also possible to use a batchUserId(curUserId) or a UserId to be defined in the parameters, (with this logic you can known the workflows was created by batchjob.)
Thanks Ergun
1.operation with batch to submit workflow, these 2 fields -
purchTable.CreatedBy or purchTable.WorkerPurchPlacer
Only we can use? To capture who submitting the workflow ?
2. But before using any fields, we need to check business requirements which fields get fit as per our requirements.
Am I correct?
Please give me more shed on this
Thanks !
There are many cases where this field is empty or not associated with the employee you want (such as CurUserId not associated with a user, creating records with batches or creating records with custom codes etc.)
Before you decide to use this field, it is useful to examine the records in the table and check whether it contains the information you want.
Thanks Ergun
As you said,"You can use purchTable.CreatedBy or purchTable.WorkerPurchPlacer (if its full)"
What do you mean
WorkerPurchPlacer (if its full)" ? Kindly elaborate please
Please give me more shed on this
Thanks!
First you need to determine which user to use. This is a process issue, you have to make the decision, but if you ask my opinion;
You can use purchTable.CreatedBy or purchTable.WorkerPurchPlacer (if its full).
CreatedBy holds the userId, so you can use it in the code. For the Worker field, you can get userId;
userId = HCMWorker::findPersonUser(purchTable.WorkerPurchPlacer).User;
