why cannot I use the data from the from in my safe action

Hello, 


I try to save all the data from a form that I made. 

But on some wierd way I can only use null identifier as source and not the form.

What have I done wrong ?

I did the reactive course and trying in a personal project to use what I have learned.

Hi Roelof you are doing some recursiveness calling the customer upadate inside the custumer update

And a few other things during the save and instead pass the record you try to save passing just the Id

check the 0ml attached and let me know if work

Here withbetter explanation of steps:

added input parameter in the webblock and pointed to the local variable

In the aggregate of the block filter by the input parameter

added an action to handler the parameterchange

 on save on click added the current custmer record

 and in the end an createOrUpdate action

Hi Roelof , 


Who you are writting in the Database?

 I see your OML and you are not using the CreatOrUpdateCostumer or UpdateCostumer from the Data .

I use the UpdateCustomer in the saveOnClick Action or are we talking about different things here.

The action that you use in Save On click is Logic , in that logic you have to send to the DB the information using the Create, CreateOrUpdate or just Update inside the Aggregate after all the validations.

Hi Roelof,

The input parameter of the CustomerUpdate server action is of type Customer Identifier, where it should be of type Customer.


Furthermore, you're using the server action CustomerUpdate in itself, where you should use the UpdateCustomer Entity action from the Data tab. Meaning, the CustomerUpdate server action is a wrapper around the UpdateCustomer Entity action.

Hope this helps,

Nordin

First i think you have to put the input parameter the list current of the costumer form in the save .


After, you have in your logic just use the action in costumer Database CreateOrUpdate and that the Source will be your input Costumer like i do in the Attachment.

Hope it Help

Because you are only using the update, you have to use the CreateOrUpdate , the system will see by the ID .

If the Id is new they gonna Create, if not they will Update.


In your logic you can also control that with a simple If .

One more thing Roelof.

Your CustomerInput block which contains the Form, has an aggregate GetCustomers. This aggregate should have a filter on CustomerId since you are trying to update a single record of the Customer Entity.

Therefore, you should create an input parameter of type CustomerId for your CustomerInput block and filter on it in your aggregate.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Nordin

thanks, 


I can now add  customers but I do not see that the list is updated and the screen is still seen. 

I think this idea is too much.  I try now for a few days to make it work. 

First lunch

This is because we use the FREE version of Outsystems what mean we cannot reuse(just upload a version of another environment oml), you need to check what I did inside and change on yours.

But the solutions is there. you can check here how it's working

yep, 

 

And I see again, you really learn again when you try some things out.

Following the videos and assigments learn you a thing but you know for sure that you really understand things if you try it yourself, fail, learn from it, and try again.

Yes, the videos are the base, to improve you need to try, try and try until you get done, good code
