Binding Parameters of EXTSRV-PROCESS

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are using adobe forms for PCR approval using the Business object method EXTSRV-PROCESS. This business object when entered in the task requires the follwing parameters as binding elements,

<b>Import parameters</b>

MODE

REQUEST_NO

DESCRIPTION

IFV

<b>Export Parameters</b>

PROCSTATE

From a few old SDN threads i found that the value for IFV can be 'A' or 'P' based on the requirement.I am unable to find the complete details about these parameters.Can anyone explain me the details of all these parameters particularly their use and possible values.

Thanks,

Hi,

MODE parameter depicts the mode of the Adobe Form - DISPLAY/CHANGE.

REQUEST_NO requires the NOTIFICATION NUMBER to be sent which was created as soon as the ADOBE ISR Form is submitted.

IFV depicts the Process Type - Approval Mode: A and Process Mode : P.

And the EXPORT PARAMETER - PROCSTATE depicts the BUTTON pressed APPROVE / REJECT.

I hope this helps.

Hi,

Thanks for that reply. Just need some more clarifications.

1. <b>The processing mode IFV is 'P' or 'A'</b>

Is there any other processing modes other than these two?

2. <b>The PROCSTATE returns the function code for the button pressed.</b>

Can you let me know what are the function codes that are returned while we press <b>"Back to Author"</b> <b>"Complete"</b> and <b>"Exit"</b> buttons. I am asking this bcos i read in one of your previous threads that "Exit" button does not return anything. I checked with the condition step in the standard 2 step approval workflow - WS50000031. It has the following statuses for PROCSTATE

APPROVED

(ii) NOTAPPROVED

(iii) FORAPPROVAL

(iv) CLOSED

Thanks,
