☁️ Can I Find Out What the Server is Doing?

Kinetic ERP

Ok, this is a confusing one (for me), so let me explain. Also, I’m cloud.

I am using Planning Workbench to create a Job.
Using Dev Tools, I can see that the method being called is CreateJobPWB.
The method is just sending Parameters and no datasets.
I’m assuming that all logic is happening server side.
I put BPMs on Pre and Post Erp.BO.JobEntry.Update to try and see the dataset and none of them fired.

Is there anything I can do to try and figure out what is happening? Even if I figure it out, is there anyway I could even interact with the methods?

The guts of CreateJobPWB is in an internal assembly. Also, when called it disables triggers.

  1. Initial setup:
  • Takes input parameters and initializes output parameters (opCreatedJobNum and opErrMsg)
  • Validates that required system and part suggestion records exist
  • Performs checks to prevent duplicate job creation
  1. Background processing check:
  • If ipBackground is true, it stores the job creation request in a local table for later processing and returns immediately
  • This allows job creation to happen asynchronously in a background process
  1. Main job creation logic (if not background processing):
  • Branches into different job creation paths based on the demand type:
    • Order Demand: If PartSug.OrderNum > 0, creates job from an order (calls OrderDemand)
    • Material Demand: If PartSug.JobSeq > 0, creates job from material requirements (calls MtlDemand)
    • Job Demand: If PartSug.JobNum is not empty, creates job from another job (calls JobDemand)
    • Stock Demand: Otherwise, creates job for stock (calls StockDemand)
  1. Cleanup:
  • For stock demand, it deletes the PartSug record after job creation
  • In all cases, it ensures database triggers are re-enabled before exiting

Thanks @Chris_Conn , appreciate the assist.

Also, because you mentioned it disables triggers, I’m assuming there is nothing I can do to interrupt the methods. Just want to clarify that.

That’s just to say, you wont see any triggers firing on any tables - so you might expect a sledgehammer DataDir on JobHead should fire, but it wont :frowning:
