I don't know if this is relevant or not...but I recently upgraded my client to 7.5, and was trying to do a service call on a 7.1 server...it failed miserably...couldn't get the AL to give me the results...but as soon as I re-launched my 7.1 client...everything was working perfectly. So you didn't mention your versions for client/server....

The filter guide will perform a table loop to concatenate values from the database and this resultant value will be output to the calling AL. Any suggestions please? Is the fact that I am not using the Request ID field relevant? As I said the filters log indicated that all the actions were completed successfully only that I'm having problem passing the result to the calling AL Victor On Wed 02/12/09 19:25 , Ben Chernys [email protected] sent: ** Please Guys, This is moot. The AL fires the filters. They do not "magically" fire just before the AL causes them to. It is just the placement in the client log that is in error. If you check the server logs you will see the SQL that the client must do to get the AL info in the right order. You've got an issue (probably) in your workflow.

Can this be changed? On Wed 02/12/09 15:34 , LJ Longwing [email protected] sent: ** Victor, I recently experienced something very similar....then I noticed that the filter actions were occurring earlier in the log than the AL action calling it....just a thought. _____ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Victor Olufowobi Sent: Wednesday, December 02, 2009 6:48 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Cannot get an output from Service filter ** Hello Listers, I'm probably doing something wrong but I can't figure it out I created an Active Link to trigger a Service filter which in turn will trigger a filter guide. The AL will pass input parameters to the filter and receive an output upon completion. The problem is that I am unable to receive the output (I keep getting NULL). The arfilter.log indicates that all the filters actions are executed successfully Could someone point me to the right direction ?
