Progress .p programs for BAM email alerts

Yahoo Archive

Thanks! Well at least now I can stop trying to figure out what I did wrong. In Vantage 6.1 not all tables were available but it was easy to manage because you could not create a BAM at all if the table was unavailable. When I saw these new tables as an option in 8.03 I was so excited to think they expanded BAM functionality to include more tables. What a disappointment. Well, I ended up using a SQL trigger to send my email alert but it would have been nice to do it in Vantage.

Thanks,
Aimee

Does anyone have any experience writing .p programs to attach to BAM email alerts? I am not a Progress person (My experience is VB.Net) but once upon a time I took a code sample and was able to turn it into what I needed by copying the Progress syntax.

What I'm ultimately trying to do is attach an "Additional Alert Procedure" to a BAM email alert so that I can include specific field values in the email body.

If anyone has any samples they could send to help me get started it would be a big help.

Thanks in advance,
Aimee

Thank you to everyone who sent me files. Much appreciated! I did run into one more snag trying to set this up. I am trying to track changes to the DMRHead and DMRActn tables but could not get Vantage to send an Email alert. All works perfectly on tables like OrderRel and JobHead so I know I have the email portion configured correctly. I even tried the PartTran table instead with the same result. I can get it to write to the ChangeLog but no emails are fired off at all.

Anyone else had issues with BAMs working only on some tables?

Thanks,
Aimee

Bams do not work on all tables and all fields. I battled with support
over this many times, and they freely admitted as such. I can accept
that it doesn't work on all of them, what I did find hard to accept was
that they couldn't produce a simple list of what tables and fields were
or were not eligible.

Thank you to everyone who sent me files. Much appreciated! I did run
into one more snag trying to set this up. I am trying to track changes
to the DMRHead and DMRActn tables but could not get Vantage to send an
Email alert. All works perfectly on tables like OrderRel and JobHead so
I know I have the email portion configured correctly. I even tried the
PartTran table instead with the same result. I can get it to write to
the ChangeLog but no emails are fired off at all.

Anyone else had issues with BAMs working only on some tables?

Thanks,
Aimee
