Can a bpm method directive fire from another previous bpm method directive?

I have a bpm method directive that creates a ud11 table row. How can I fire another different bpm method directive which fires when the ud11 table row is added from my previous bpm method directive. It looks like a bpm cannot fire another bpm? Is this true?

Please help!

Thanks,
Richard

Do your add in a PRE method directive and add the widget at the end to enable POST.
Then create a POST method directive starting off with a condition to check if it was fired from the PRE.

Thank you for your reply Aaron. Here is more detail of my situation:

  1. Create a ud11 row when Pre Labor.CheckWarnings fires with a labor qty > 0.
  2. Fire another bpm method directive UD11.Update pre, base or post when the bpm in number 1 above creates the ud11 row.

I am not familiar with the Post enable and will educate myself on it. Is it only available in 1 BPM flow as opposed to 2 different BPMā€™s?

Thank you,
Richard

In that case, I would do your second BPM on a UD11 InTrans Data Directive.
Make the first condition off of start be ā€œā€¦at least one Added row in UD11ā€.

Hi Richard,
In general, you cannot fire BPM directives at all. It is the responsibility of the runtime.

Both Aaronā€™s suggestions are correct. You need to use the one more relevant for your task.

  • You can add another PRE directive with ā€œorderā€ greater than the first one and use the condition block that checks some conditions. For example, you can set a BPM Data context field in one directive, and check it in another.
  • You can use Enable Post-Proc widget in your directive, then add a POST directive and use ā€˜is enabled by XXX directiveā€™ condition in it.
