Custom Action Request to invoke a Delivered Instance Action with Entrance Rules

Vikram Reddy

I need to build an Approval flow for Release action on the CashLedgerFundTransferHeader business class. This is an instance action—no delivered service/IPA/Action form.

I have created a custom action request "XYZRelease" and attached a custom service def and a custom flow. The approval flow will call the original "Release" action upon approval.

The original Release action has a bunch of Entrance Rules (constraints). How do you handle when the Release action (executed by the LM Txn node) fails with an error? Am I approaching the problem correctly?

There is an "Error Connection" you can offshoot from the Landmark Transaction that doesn't follow the normal path.  Here you can build a message and notify the user, or you could make a user action that uses the Action Request type on the Display Node under Desktop to allow the user to update the Action Request and reattempt the Release or you could display the actual  CashLedgerFundTransferHeader record so they can make any update needed.

If you know how specific errors need to be handled, you can update the  CashLedgerFundTransferHeader record in the flow and reattempt the release after.

You could also check for each of the Entrance Rules conditions in the flow prior to the Flow attempting the release to catch the errors prior to the release attempt and deal with the issues however you need to deal with them.
