  • 1.  Pls! Help building up a process condition with a lookup validation

    Posted Apr 25, 2012 02:22 PM
    Hi!! I have a process where a step needs to wait for a value on a multi-valued lookup field before going to the next step.

    My condition is the following:

    IF (project.thisProject.osde_impacto_orgz != null ) THEN GO TO STEP02


    But this is not working. The process is not waiting for the value to be completed, it continues to the next step with the attribute empty.

    I appreciate any ideas!!

    Thanks!!

    Hi Flo,

    We are using a similar condition in our process flow as well. The way it works for us is when we restructure the post condition from

    IF (project.thisProject.osde_impacto_orgz != null ) THEN GO TO STEP02
    To IF !(project.thisProject.osde_impacto_orgz == null ) THEN GO TO STEP02, where osde_impacto_orgz is the multivalued lookup.

    Have you tried below -

    IF (project.thisProject.osde_impacto_orgz IS NOT null ) THEN GO TO STEP02

    Hi NJ the (project.thisProject.osde_impacto_orgz IS NOT null ) expression is INVALID for Clarity. The correct expresion is with !=, but it is not taking into account the !=, it works OK with ==. But I need the step to wait until the field has any value.... Would this be a bug or soemthing like that?

    Thanks!!

    Hi,


    Which version of Clarity are you on?

    This looks like issue of != null for multi value look up fields. While it is working for look-up type field. I think they have done some changes in V 12.1 for multi value look-up to allow null value and all.

    Hi Shalinee, I'm on Clarity v13. I do really think this is a bug. This condition is not working only for multi-valued lookups. For the rest of my custom attribute, it works just fine, even with static or dynamic lookups.

    I have opened a case at Support and will have a live meeting soon, so will post the resolution.

    Thanks!!

    Hi!!

    I just wanted to let you know that I've worked this issue with support and it has been linked to an existing related defect: CLRT-21716: Unable to create a 'pre' or a 'post condition within a process to check whether an MVL attribute is NULL.

    Kind Regards!
