Can an LPL Action update a Job's Job Parameter?

Jason Hedahl

Hello,

My team has several month end jobs with date parameters that have to be updated every month for the new date range. I want to create an LPL Action that automatically updates all of the dates for us.

When I run an API on the BatchTask business class, those parameters come through as an XML string, so I am not sure there is a clean way to update the dates directly. My current workaround is an IPA that uses JavaScript to manipulate the XML string, but an LPL Action that edits the fields themselves would be much nicer.

Instead of using a Job (Batch Task), have you tried just using a Landmark transaction to invoke the RequisitionVolumeSummaryReport Business Task in the scheduled the IPA flow? Then you wouldn't need to update the Batch Task XML; you could use the date your already deriving in the IPA flow in the Landmark transaction.
