** 

Mike,

 

There is a regular form - 'CTM:SYS-Access Permission Grps' which can be
used for fetching the right group ID against the 'Assigned Group ID'.

 

Fetch 'Permission Group ID' from the above form using the qualification
-   "  'Support_Group_ID'  = $Assigned Group ID$  " and use 'Permission
Group ID' field for sending the notification.

 

It works.

 

Thanks,

Amita

Hi,

 

I hope this helps....

 

Findings: 

a) Group ID for CTM:Support Group and Group ID on group form are
seperate entities.

b) When a new Support Group is created on the CTM:Support Grroup form, a
record is created in the Group Form as well.

c) The Group name in the Group form contains the Group ID, which is an
integer value.

d) When any group notification is triggerred, the email engine looks up
the Group name field of the Group form.

e) The email engine does not find any match in the group form, because
the group name field contains the group ID and not the group name.

f) And therefore, group notifications fail.

 

Workarounds:

a) Modify the Group name on the Group Form: Instead of the Group ID,
this field should be populated with the Group name. A filter can be
written on the CTM:Support Group form, which modifies the Group form
when any new group is created or modified. 

Short comings of this approach: Company1-> Org1-> Group1 and
Company1->Org2->Group1 cannot exist togather. Group Name should be
unique on Group form. 

 

b) If the Group Notification (sent to the Assignment Group) is to be
fired from, say, HPD:HelpDesk, then create a new zTmp_GroupName field.
On Submit and Modify of Assignment Group field, create a filter that
reads the GroupID from CTM:SYS Access Permission form. You can query
this form by specifying Company->Org->Group to get Group form's Group
ID. In the Notify action, specify this zTmp field, instead of Assignment
Group field. 

Short comings of this approach: The administrator has to be aware of
such zTmp fields created for Group Notification purpose. 

 

Regards,

Veeral Oza
