Clarity

Hi all,

Is there a way to update the task name by XOG?

In the Task tag I pick an existinf "InternalTaskID".
I tried but instead of update my task, Clarity create a new one...

Does someone know how to update a task name by a process?

Regards,
Eric.

Update the task name to what? The task name is not a key field and may be updated with a direct <sql:update tag in a GEL script as a step in a process. If using the XOG, the task needs to have a valid taskID="some value " attribute to UPDATE other attributes on the task or else it will create a new task.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Patrick

Patrick,

Thank you for the answer.

The problem with the TaskID it's that this field is not mandatory in Clarity. So in our system a lots of tasks have no ID. I can't ensure that I will not create a new task working this way.

Yes an SQL Update is the easiest way to do what I need, but my concerns is: Is it supported by CA?

Hello ispa

The id field on Clarity is not mandatory, however, the task does have an unique internal ID that you should use to make the SQL query.

I'don't know if the Gel-SQL approach is fully supported, but support has been very helpful with this in the past with us.

Hello Rafa,

Yes the task has a unique internal ID but for XOG it does'nt care.

Nobody knows if we can update with sql command the PRNAME from PRTASK?

Hello Eric,

If you really want the Task ID (The External Attribute) can also have an unique value provided by the system automatically.In the attribute ID You can enable the Auto Numbering field.It will become read only Field.

so no need to worry for the Null values in future.For past null records you need to update some values.

Then XOG issue also will be addressed.

But for simple sql update don't use the above option.

Moving to correct board.
