Usage of XPath function in BPM.

[Former Member]

Hi

I'm trying to use an XPath function (string-length) in the BPM.

The closest I got to is looks something like this, but ie doesn't work.

/p1:node/path/[string-length(fieldname) = 11]

I'm able to check if the 'fieldname' equals a certain 'value' which works well but using the function fails.

Any help/inputs are appreciated.

Rajendra.

PS: System: NW'04, WebAS 640, XI3.0

Hi,

Did you try the value in the Quotes ? i,e

/p1:node/path/[string-length(fieldname) = "11"]

Just try it out..

try

1. (/p1:node/path/[string-length(fieldname) = "11"])

2. (/p1:node/path/[string-length(fieldname) = '11'])

3. (/p1:node/path/[string-length(fieldname) = 11])

but remember to use the EX operator !!!

Tried all ("11", '11', 11) with both types (xsd:string and xsd:integer), couldn't cross the bridge as yet!

PS: Yes, I'm using the EX operator.

Can anyone point to any example that uses an XPath function in a BPM?

We are on XI3.0 SP12.

Is the feature of XPath functions being able to be used in BPM processes enabled in LATTER releases?

Hi,

try to use the following XPath statement when you want get the value of the field fieldname with length 11:

/p1:node/path[string-length(fieldname) = '11']/fieldname

Here is a good ressource for XML related topics
