Process Automation (AppWorks)

Process Automation (AppWorks Platform) enables users to design, build, test, deploy, and monitor business applications. It provides low-code development capabilities that enable users to quickly model business objects using a compositional approach to application development instead of a traditional way of programming functionality.

CS REST API and CORS on IE
I am writing some basic tests using Content Server API v1, and encountered a problem - IE. Both 10 and 9 (most likely 8 too) From what I understand, 9 (and 8) doesn't support XMLHTTPRequest with CORS at all, so CORS is done via XDomainRequest, which does not support custom headers. This means: 1) content type is always…
FYI - V9.3.1 appears to be available
Since it seems we aren't notified here when new releases are available any longer, it seem that MBPM 9.3.1 was released on the 24th along with an associated Mobile platform. Alas, reading the mobile installation instructions, it seems "Blackberry support is dropped from OpenText BPM Mobile Client 9.3.1." :robotfrustrated:.…
Renaming a variable
Hoping someone here has done something of this sort before, and can provide some sanity check or advice Usecase: I need to rename 2 variables in a procedure. They have values, and are currently used on timers (and have corresponding eWait entries). Problem: Metastorm doesn’t let you “rename”. If you rename a variable in…
Recurring Timed Events
Are timed events recurring? I want to set a timed event to repeat until a condition is met for a stage. Is it possible to do that in Metastorm?
Repository Migration with Sub Processes
I have a migrator map file to migrate data from V7 to V9. (A) Since "true" sub-processes are implemented in V9 now (such that sub-process data is stored in its own table), is there a way to map the data which should be placed into this sub-process table while using the migrate assistant tool? The variables are no longer in…
Testing during App Development Cycle
Hi, I think as per the documentation,if I have to zip my app as mobile.zip, it will be very painful during development. Because, during development I would like to test the page instantly without going through the whole cycle of archiving into mobile.zip. So can you please explain the steps that you would recommend during…
Errors for OPTIONS request from Firefox
Our application (JavaScript) accesses the Content Server REST API using HTTPS. The CS is behind the firewall, we set up the OTAG as a proxy server. The application has no problem accessing CS directly, but it failes to use the proxy in Firefox. There is no errors/warning in OTAG log, neither in CS/IIS log. By tracing the…
A better / faster way to set object right on LL object.

Mobile On Exit
Within the MBPM Mobile solution, I found a means where I can automatically open an admin form. At the moment, when I either submit or cancel, it goes to the To Do (or whichever I last had open) list. Is it possible, perhaps via URL parameters, to have the form close and not go to the To Do (etc.) list? When closing out an…
HTML Tags in Form/Stage/Action captions
if i write in caption e.g. Stage name, Action name or Form name the text will be italic in user interface. is it a bug, or maybe a feature? it is quite simple example but I also used font tag to change font color and img tag to place image into action button.
Password Rules
When I'm creating users for my appWorks install, it often says the PW doesn't meet the Password Rules requirements, but it doesn't tell me what they are. Is there: * Someplace that details the exact rules * A way to disable (Yes, I know it would not be as secure, but in our sandboxed lab environment, it makes it way easier…
Can Drop Down Automatically be "open"
I've developed an admin to do some name lookups with passed-in parameters, which ultimately get returned to the calling form. This works well. The form uses a drop down box to allow the users to select a name. I'd use a list box, but only one name can be selected / returned and since a list box allows multiple values to be…
Reading app properties from the app
How can we read the app properties defined in the app profile in OTAG within the app?

EScape char in Memo field for SSL
Hello MBPM Guyzz, I have used Memo field in an form. That shows the data input in an action. Issue is: If the data has quotes in it, it shows escape " in the field instead of quotes. For eg: the text --- This is 'Metastorm' is rendered as This is "Metastorm" And the shocking thing is that this happens in HTTPS connection…
