I figured it out. Needed to reference Epicor.Mfg.Bpm.Server.CallContext.dll in the class library and the target framework cannot be 4.0

Subject: [Vantage] BPM Server

Good Morning,

I installed the BPM server last night and just getting started with it. I used the dll file Epicor provides to test the BPM server with and it worked fine. My question is how to generate the dll file. I know how to get the .net code generated within Epicor, but from here I am little lost. I tried to create a class library (VS2010) and then insert the epicor generated code and built the solution. Then I copied the dll file to the actions folder on the BPM server, but when I try to select a .NET method I get an error message. So I think I'm missing a step somewhere in there or just doing it completely wrong. If anyone has an instruction on how to do this I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Ted

Has anybody had any luck with using BPM Server to run .NET code? I installed the server on our test box and wrote some code to pop up a message box whenever a sales order is updated. It was working fine a few days ago, but now it's stopped working completely. When I update a sales order, the status bar says "Saving data..." and I get the hourglass and the client stops responding. As far as I can tell it never gets to my code in the .dll.

Is your BPM Service running (in Services)?

Epicor BPM Server is set to start Automatically and is running. I've tried restarting it, but it didn't help.

The BPM Server is used when you want to call .Net code from BPMs. It
passes a dataset of the business object to a routine that you call. I
went back to Progress because:

- The dataset wasn't always populated fully (The SalesOrder BO didn't
included the UPS records for example)
- It's not running in the same space as the transaction, so there's
more information available to you in the Progress code.
- Probably slower since there's some extra overhead in marshalling and
unmarshalling the dataset and the extra network traffic.
