IPA - ActionRequest

How to generate / initialize an ActionRequest?

Present RequestNewPosition IPA gets its ActionRequest pass down from Mingle (or generate on the backend).

I'm looking to use the existing IPA but passing it a csv file via File Channels which means an ActionRequest must be generated / initialized in the IPA.....How do I achieve it?

EXISTING IPA:

_dataArea="<!appProdline>" & _module="la" & _objectName="ActionRequest" & _actionName="Find" & _actionOperator="NONE" & _actionType="SingleRecordQuery" & _runAsUser="" & _authenticatedUser="" & _pageSize="30" & _relationName="" & _setName="" & _asOfDate="" & _effectiveDate="" & ActionRequest="<!ActionRequest>" & BusinessAction

New IPA:

Thanks

You identify the process as "RequestNewPosition", I don't see that as an Infor delivered Application Process, but I do see "RequestPosition".

If you inspect RequestPosition, take a look at the RequestActionIsUpdated Landmark transaction, here is a CreateUpdateDelete

_dataArea="<!appProdline>" & _module="la" & _objectName="ActionRequest" & _actionName="<!SetAction>" & _actionOperator="NONE" & _actionType="CreateUpdateDelete" & _runAsUser="<!ActionUser>" & _authenticatedUser="<!AuthActionUser>" & _pageSize="30" & ActionRequest="<!ActionRequest>"

the <!SetAction> is initialized by preceding Assignment nodes, here are a few actions:

SetAction = ReturnInProcess

SetAction = RejectInProcess

SetAction = ReturnInProcess

If you know what action you seek, initialize your action and invoke the above Landmark transaction.

Robert,

Thank you for replying and it is derived from the delivered RequestPosition.

I actually do not know what to select because ReturnInProcess / RejectInProcess just does not make sense to me for a new ActionRequest. I would have expected something like InitiateInProcess or CreateInProcess. I will experiment and see what happens.

Thanks

The Position BusinessClass has 70+ actions, here are all the Create Actions

Create,
CreateEmployeeCareerPlan,
CreatePositionCompetencyModels,
CreatePositionCompetencies,
CreatePositionSkills,
CreatePositionEducation,
CreatePositionCredentials,
CreatePositionWorkingConditions,
CreatePositionResponsibilityGroups,
CreatePositionResponsibilities,
CreatePositionAppraisalCriteria,
CreateWeightByPositionResponsibility,
CreatePositionSearchSet

You can find all actions using an IPA landmark node and just build your call using the appropriate module and businessclass, wade through the Position BusinessClass LPL, or use Swagger and invoke an Action API which returns all actions. I don't think the ION API ->Infor HR Talent has an Action end point to return all actions..
