DEVELOPERS FORUM - Promote item lifecycle with method on button in Aras 10

BMoberg - Monday, March 3, 2014 9:56 AM:

In Aras 10

I have an Item with a simple lifecycle (Active - Closed)
I want to create a button on the form, where I can promote the lifecycle to Closed by a click.
I have working methods for saving and unlocking the item, but I would like to have it promoted also.

I've created a metod (Javascript, client side) with the following two lines:
 
var myItem = document.thisItem;
myItem.promote("Closed", "Promoted by Aras");

I've then added this method to a button with "onClick" (Field Event)

BUT nothing happens When i click on the button?
Does anyone have a working method for this?

Thanks/Benny

First, you have to add the Lifecycle transition's 'Role' as permission identity in the code. To do this you should use a server method(As I know). So, call a server method which has code to promote the item from the button click.

An example:

BLOCKED SCRIPT

var thisItem = document.thisItem;
var id = thisItem.getID();
var body = "<id_>"+id+"</id_>";
var result = top.aras.applyMethod("ServerMethodName",body); 

return result;

C#:

Innovator inn = this.getInnovator();
string id = this.getProperty("id_");

   Item item_ = inn.getItemById("ItemTypeName",id);
      Aras.Server.Security.Identity roleIden = Aras.Server.Security.Identity.GetByName("Owner"); //--Your Transition's Role here 
      bool SetPermission = Aras.Server.Security.Permissions.GrantIdentity(roleIden);
  
        item_.setAction("promoteItem");
         item_.setProperty("state", "Closed");
          Item res = item_.apply();
                    if (res.isError()) {
                     return inn.newError("Error promoting Item: " + res.getErrorDetail());
                    }
              if (SetPermission = 1) {
              Aras.Server.Security.Permissions.RevokeIdentity(roleIden);
              }
return this;

Don't forget to Unlock the item before you click button to promote, or handle the same in the code.

Thank you/Harsha

Thanks for the reply Harsha!

One step closer... I've tried this but it stops on line number 14, "Error number CS0031, Constant value '1' cannot be converted to a 'bool'."

Line 14:     if (SetPermission = 1) {

Sorry, I am new at this. Any suggestions?

Sorry, my mistake. C# thing, replace 1 with true:  if (SetPermission == true) {

Perfekt!

Big thanks Harsha!
