SetCustomSetting and GetCustomSetting

We use the following codelines in an Application Engine process:

SetCustomSetting(RepoCon, "cs_ImportYear", xYear);
string sCS_ImportJahr=GetCustomSetting("cs_ImportJahr", "xxxx");
NotifyInformation("Import year:" +sCS_ImportYear);

xYear is 2024, which is also written back and displayed in the administration.

However, the GetCustomSetting command always returns the originally defined value 2022. What else needs to be done so that the value is updated and used correctly?

Does anyone have similar experiences or a tip

In your example the variable has different names in the get and the set function.

Sorry, this is a typo in the code, the variable is always called the same.

SetCustomSetting(RepoCon, "cs_ImportJahr", Jahr);
string sCS_ImportJahr=GetCustomSetting("cs_ImportJahr", "2023");
NotifyInformation("Import Jahr:" +sCS_ImportJahr);

Cant think of any reason why it wouldnt work. Seems like a bug if it doesnt.

Ok I will open a support incident

We ran into the same issue - set the values in AppEngine - and then later tried to retrieve them and it failed to return the updated values. We changed our approach to use a stage table to hold the "CustomSettings". But this obviously this a workaround - the Get/Set should work! Please keep up posted on what you learn from the Infor incident.

Good to hear that you don't have completely wrong ideas. I'll keep you up to date

If it's a different user he has to log out and log back in to see the changes I think.

Daniel Hofmann

No, it is actually the same user. He calls the process from the Application Studio, passes the year that should then be saved as a custom setting and to which the staging queries should refer

i tried a quick test and it seems to work just fine for me at least in the process editor : RepositoryConnection con = CreateRepositoryConnectionExisting();
    con.SetCustomSetting("test","2");
    WriteLine(GetCustomSetting("test","default"));
    con.SetCustomSetting("test","3");
    WriteLine(GetCustomSetting("test","default"));
    con.Disconnect();

Execute Process: NewProcess
14:13:52: Write -> 2
14:13:52: Write -> 3

When updating a custom setting in app studio the user needs to have a certain level role - I can’t remember the name of the role, though you can rule out permissions by granting admin.

Is the user you are signed in with an Admin?

Yes the user has all rights.
