[Throwaway]

I have a few processes and instead of starting the main progress, they started a sub process and completed it.

The issue is that because it wasn't the main process, it didn't kick off the next process and it took a few days to finish those forms. Is there any way I can "kick" the form back or somehow start a new case and send all the data over?

The data can all be accessed in the review, so I assume the worst-case method here is copying all the data over manually.

Thanks in advance,

Hello throwaway,

Look for the type of subprocess you are using, the asynchronous or synchronous one, here the link to the wiki

Throwaway,
You can prevent this in the future by marking the option "This a sub-process:" in the properties of the process. That way the process will not appear in the list when users go to Home > New.

I have created a sample process that you can use to copy data from one case to another case:

Copy_case_data-1.pmx

Here is trigger code:

Code: Select all

//set to ID of Dynaform to redirect to
$dynaformId = '2408819365a307aaea160f6061114839'; 
$g = new G();

if (isset(@@action) and @@action == "COPY_DATA") {
    if (empty(@@fromCaseNo)) {
        $g->sendMessageText("Enter the case number to copy data from.", 'WARNING');
        PMFRedirectToStep(@@APPLICATION, @%INDEX, 'DYNAFORM', $dynaformId);
    }
    if (empty(@@toCaseNo)) {
        $g->sendMessageText("Enter the case number to copy data to.", 'WARNING');
        PMFRedirectToStep(@@APPLICATION, @%INDEX, 'DYNAFORM', $dynaformId);
    }
    
    $sqlFrom = "SELECT * FROM APPLICATION WHERE APP_NUMBER=".@@fromCaseNo;
    $sqlTo = "SELECT * FROM APPLICATION WHERE APP_NUMBER=".@@toCaseNo;
    
    $aFromCase = executeQuery($sqlFrom);
    if (!is_array($aFromCase) or count($aFromCase) != 1) {
        $g->sendMessageText("Case number ".@@fromCaseNo.
            " doesn't exist. Enter different 'Copy from case no.'.", 'WARNING');
        PMFRedirectToStep(@@APPLICATION, @%INDEX, 'DYNAFORM', $dynaformId);
    }
        
    $aToCase = executeQuery($sqlTo);
    if (!is_array($aToCase) or count($aToCase) != 1) {
        $g->sendMessageText("Case number ".@@toCaseNo.
            " doesn't exist. Enter different 'Copy to case no.'.", 'WARNING');
        PMFRedirectToStep(@@APPLICATION, @%INDEX, 'DYNAFORM', $dynaformId);
    }
    
    $c = new Cases();
    $aCaseInfoFrom =$c->LoadCase($aFromCase[1]['APP_UID']);
    $aCaseInfoTo = $c->LoadCase($aToCase[1]['APP_UID']);
    
    //unset the system variables to not copied to the other case:
    $aSystemVars = array('APPLICATION', 'INDEX', 'PROCESS', 'TASK', 'APP_NUMBER', 'PIN',
        'USER_LOGGED', 'ÜSR_USERNAME', 'SYS_SYS', 'SYS_LANG', 'SYS_SKIN', '__ERROR__');
    $aVars = $aCaseInfoFrom['APP_DATA'];
    
    foreach ($aSystemVars as $varName) {
        unset($aVars[$varName]);
    }
    
    $aCaseInfoTo['APP_DATA'] = array_merge($aCaseInfoTo['APP_DATA'], $aVars);
    $c->updateCase($aCaseInfoTo['APP_UID'], $aCaseInfoTo);
    
    $msg = count($aVars)." variables were copied from case #".@@fromCaseNo.
        " to case #".@@toCaseNo;
    $g->sendMessageText($msg, 'INFO');
    
    //reset variables:
    @@action = '';
    @@fromCaseNo = '';
    @@toCaseNo = '';
    
    PMFRedirectToStep(@@APPLICATION, @%INDEX, 'DYNAFORM', $dynaformId);    
}
elseif (isset(@@action) and @@action == "CANCEL") {
    //reset variables:
    @@action = '';
    @@fromCaseNo = '';
    @@toCaseNo = '';
    
    PMFRedirectToStep(@@APPLICATION, @%INDEX, 'DYNAFORM', $dynaformId);
} 

And here is the JavaScript code:

Code: Select all

$("#cancelButton").find("button").click(function() {
  $("#action").setValue("CANCEL");
});

$("#copyCaseData").find("button").click(function() {
  $("#action").setValue("COPY_DATA");
});

Create a new case and then use this process to copy the data to the new case. You can also adapt this code to use PMFNewCase() to create a new case with the case data.
