Kinetic 2023.1 -- BPM Method Search for Report and Process Objects?

I’m trying to submit a report in a widget in a BPM. But in the method search, I don’t see reports and processes in the Type list.

Am I imagining that they used to be here?

Report and process objects don’t appear in the service name list under Type Business Object.

Thanks,

Joe

Turn on developer mode and launch base only.

I noticed this on a new development project this week. Is your BPM on a Process or Rpt method? I ended up writing a quick function to handle the printing….

Oh, I see. You’re in some other method and using the “invoke BO method” widget and then the limitation. Even in the Kinetic BPM designer, no luck.

Yikes.

I was thinking the BPM was triggered from a report, and in that case, yes, those are in the dropdown.

How has no one reported this yet?

True, I have also made some Functions for printing (not for a BPM), so I guess that works as a workaround.

But wow.

Thanks, all. I looked at a function, and it does allow the selection of reports and processes there, so I guess I’ll go that route. :slight_smile:

Did you try my suggestion? I run into this all the time and it works.

Not sure what to try. When I load up the Method Directives Maintenance I get:

There is no base for this form.
And I still don’t see any option besides BO & Service:

After I click through this it loads with all the correct options. Another workaround is to create the bpm in the kinetic designer. Once it exists you can find it under the directives search type in classic.

I’m getting the same in a new directive in Kinetic:

Weird…

I think you are dealing with the scenario I originally assumed.

It’s not the BPM (the header if you will) that is the problem; it’s the invoke widget inside the BPM.

@jdtrent Is that right?
