DCR not updated properly upon editing

boskovuk

Editing of existing DCR appears to be working fine - however, not all sections of DCR gets updated correctly.

This is the javascript code that is supposed to handle the udpate request. I am specifically interested in changes to the /product/OwnerID element of the DCR:
function init(){
IWDatacapture.getItem("/product/ProductID").setReadOnly(true);

IWEventRegistry.addItemHandler("/product/Name", "onItemChange", reNameHandler);
IWEventRegistry.addItemHandler("/product/OwnerID", "onItemChange", ownerHandler);
}
function ownerHandler(){
var ownerName = IWDatacapture.getItem("/product/OwnerID").getValue();
IWDatacapture.getItem("/product/ManufacturingPlantIDs").setValue(ownerName);
}

The /product/OwnerID element gets properly updated, however, ownerHandler(), for some reason, is not updating /product/ManufacturingPlantIDs element of the DCR.

These are relevant sections of datacapture.cfg file:
<ruleset name="product">
<item name="OwnerID" pathid="ownerid">
<label>Product Owner</label>
<description></description>
<select required="t">
<inline command="/cms/iw-home/iw-perl/bin/iwperl /iwmnt/default/main/CCMC/WORKAREA/development/cgi-bin/genlist.ipl organization.list"/>
</select>
</item>

<container name="Manufacturer" location="manufacturer" max="12">
<item name="ManufacturingPlantIDs" pathid="manufacturingplantids">
<label>Manufacturer</label>
<description>Select up to 12 Organizations</description>
<select required="t">
<inline command="/cms/iw-home/iw-perl/bin/iwperl /iwmnt/default/main/CCMC/WORKAREA/development/cgi-bin/genlist.ipl organization.list"/>
</select>
</item>
</container>
</ruleset>

Are you certain that the value you are trying to set is in the lis as described in:

<inline command="/cms/iw-home/iw-perl/bin/iwperl /iwmnt/default/main/CCMC/WORKAREA/development/cgi-bin/genlist.ipl organization.list"/>

Have you tried alerting the value of ownerName just before you set it in ownerHandler?

IWDatacapture.getItem("/product/ManufacturingPlantIDs").setValue(ownerName);
}
...
<ruleset name="product">
...
<container name="Manufacturer" location="manufacturer" max="12">
<item name="ManufacturingPlantIDs" pathid="manufacturingplantids">

Shouldn't it be


// You might want to 
// alert("setting... " + ownerName );  
// here
IWDatacapture.getItem("/product/Manufacturer/ManufacturingPlantIDs").setValue(ownerName);

or something along those lines instead ?

OF COURSE... Samir brought up a wonderful point and I'm kicking myself for not noticing it right away, myself... the location should include manufacturer like he said, but should also refer to a container ID. If you wanted to set the first instance, for example, it would look like:

IWDatacapture.getItem("/product/manufacturer[ 1 ]/ManufacturingPlantIDs").setValue(ownerName);

But you probably don't want to just set the first one. You get the idea...

Good point. I noticed that as well and tested this morning and now as well - however, it doesn't work anyway:
function ownerHandler(){
var ownerName = IWDatacapture.getItem("/product/OwnerID").getValue();
alert("setting... " + ownerName );
IWDatacapture.getItem("/product/Manufacturer/ManufacturingPlantIDs").setValue(ownerName);
}

I see two issues:
(a)
ownerName, obtain by getValue() doesn't extract what is stored in DCR, the XML file ?
This is really strange.

An example of the DCR I am trying to edit is attached.
Why would ownerName has a value of '44'? There is no '44' in the attached DCR.

(b)
Neither the value of the ownerName (that is extracted, in this case '44') is set to the /product/Manufacturer/ManufacturingPlantIDs element of the DCR upon saving.
It stays unchanged all the time.

Thanks a lot for the feedback ....

In that case your statement var ownerName = IWDatacapture.getItem("/product/OwnerID").getValue(); itself has some problems.

Another thing I notice is that "product" is your ruleset name, not an item or container in your DCT. So if OwnerID is at the root level, shouldn't you be doing a getitem on "/OwnerID" instead of "/product/OwnerID" ?

You said in your original post that you are successfully setting a value in OwnerID. How are you doing that ? Post your code which does that.

Alternatively, since you are setting the value of OwnerID, you must have that in some variable, so why do a getitem, getValue again ?

Sorry couldn't help you there more. Besides, I don't get paid enough to work with JavaScript
