The Send Event is designed to send to an already existing window. The question is how you are getting to this Child window. If you are coming from the Parent window (and you open the child as a new window) then the send event should do what you need. If you are coming directly from the child (parent window Not open) then I would probably do something like a filter Push fields to the Parent pushing something to a workflow field to trigger filters set to check the count of open children and if 0 perform the close.
Fred From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Brien Dieterle Sent: Tuesday, October 06, 2009 1:04 PM To: [email protected] Subject: send event after open window, midtier ** I'm hitting the open window, send event issue on the midtier. Couldn't find much in the recent arslist to explain what to do exactly to get around it. The workflow guide states: "To solve this issue for the web client, create the workflow so that the parent or child window is loaded, and then the send event action is executed." That's a well and good suggestion, but I am not exactly sure how to actually implement this. I have an AL that fires after-modify of a child form, that I want to open a window to the parent form and THEN send an event to. I made two separate ALs, one to open the window (exec order 0), and then another to send the event (exec order 2)-- but it still doesn't work. It DOES work on the user tool, and it DOES work on the midtier if I already have the parent form open. Very frustrating. The only good thing is that the behavior is consistent between Firefox and Internet Explorer :-). Any ideas on how to implement this? My end goal is to have the parent ticket modified such that when ALL children are closed the parent is also closed. I couldn't think of a better way than to open the parent, send an event to trigger an AL to: refresh a table field of open children and perform a colcount and close the ticket if colcount=0 midtier 7.5p1 Thanks!
