Difference Between User.Input and ProcessContext.UserInput

Joe Smith

The information in this article applies to:

Product: Metastorm BPM
Version: 9

Issue

• %User.Input\[n\] is used with a grid in a version 7.x procedure. When ProcessContext.UserInput\[n\] is used with a grid in a version 9 process, different results are seen.

Resolution

• The index (n) for %User.Input\[n\] is based on the columns in the grid, where the first column has an index of 0.
• The index for ProcessContext.UserInput\[n\] is based on the columns in the business object, not the grid. In this case, an index of 0 is the first column in the database table, which may not be the first column in the grid.

"index of 0 is the first column in the database table"

 

Just a minor point, this is true for Table BO's, but (failrly obviously) this is the first field selected in a Query BO. I just thought it could possibly cause confusion.
