Hi, I need to map a workflow status field to an external table using a datamap conversion. The field is not available to be mapped?
Also, we tried mapping a workflow status field to a workflow status field in another object and was also not available?
Hi Byron,
To map workflow status field , the workflow attribute should be enabled on External table as well. Also the SQL queries (select,insert and update) to external db needs to be modified to include status_id,process_id columns.
Step 1: Add two columns of Number datatype for status_id and process_id respectively
Step 2: Edit the object definition of External DB object and enable workflow attribute. Map the status and workflow process fields to above columns created.
Step 3: Adjust the sql queries to include the above new columns in insert,update and select queries.
I tested this on 3.2 and working fine.
Note: Workflow status field mapping will have Field Default o Constant value. If we use Field Default then the workflow status is copied from source object. We cant map arbitrary column to workflow status.
Thanks and Regards
