Kinetics BPM SetCompany and SetPlantID

[tomdomurat (Thomas Domurat)]

                            // Need to switch to the receiving company and plant -- worked in E10
                            this.Session.SetCompany("ABC");
                            this.Session.PlantID = "XYZ";

This code had worked in E10, but does not in E11. I receive the following errors. What is the equivalent in Kinetics?

Please try

Ice.Core.Session s1 = (Ice.Core.Session)this.oTrans.Session;
s1.CompanyID = "ABC";
s1.PlantID = "B";

@aarong

this.oTrans.Session

He’s in a BPM/UBAQ/Function etc.

Company Change Approaches on the Server

I was abused on Twitter by @josecgomez this weekend on this topic so posting here. The question is how to iterate through different companies in a server process. The Client way is to use SessionMod.SetCompany(). Stand up a new Service, Call SetCompany, life is good. When on the server side though, you can change the state of your current instance and get confused easily. To do this correctly means either making REST Calls with the new Company as a header or standing up a ServiceRendere…

This may also work, unsure if any drawbacks.

  var ehsSession = (Epicor.Hosting.Session) Session;
  
  ehsSession.SetCompany("ABC");
  ehsSession.PlantID = "XYZ";

Calling Session.SetCompany changes the default Company forever - or until the users clicks on a new Company, etc. If you think about ‘sagas’ in the transaction world you’ll get a hint of what I mean. Session is the breadcrumb trail of all those little context settings about current company, plant, site, workstation, currency, language, etc etc.
Temp does a ‘temporary’ hijacking of that saga to make a quick change in context of something else. Think Admin cleanup type functions where you are iterating over all the companies in a group.

Good thread, everyone should read it.

Thank you much. I was struggling with this and it had worked what was posted.
