Using FIND many times in a process

kklosson

Hi,
Within a process, I have several rules design to populate a BO from which I can make a report. Within the context of the current BO, I have several Yes/No attributes. A child BO contains explanations of the Yes responses.

So if the BO attribute is Yes, I want to look up the explanation and include it in the reporting BO for reporting. Each rule looks like this...

If ThisPHS.EJR_4='Yes' Then
FIND ExplainEmploymentJobRelated WHERE ExplainEmploymentJobRelated.PHS.ID=ThisPHS.ID AND ExplainEmploymentJobRelated.Question='EJR-4'
CREATE PHSEvaluation WITH PHSEvaluation.PHS=ThisPHS,PHSEvaluation.InvestigativeArea='Employment',PHSEvaluation.Item='Has quit without giving proper notice',PHSEvaluation.SortOrder=3, PHSEvaluation.Remark=ExplainEmploymentJobRelated.Explanation

Next Rule...

If ThisPHS.EJR_5='Yes' Then
FIND ExplainEmploymentJobRelated WHERE ExplainEmploymentJobRelated.PHS.ID=ThisPHS.ID AND ExplainEmploymentJobRelated.Question='EJR-5'
CREATE PHSEvaluation WITH PHSEvaluation.PHS=ThisPHS,PHSEvaluation.InvestigativeArea='Employment',PHSEvaluation.Item='Has resigned in lieu, of termination',PHSEvaluation.SortOrder=3, PHSEvaluation.Remark=ExplainEmploymentJobRelated.Explanation

And so on...
The result is that the item found and placed in the last attribute of the BO PHSEvaluation.Remark just keeps repeating the same thing as if nothing new was found.

I tried using This and That prefixes in various ways but did not overcome the problem. Can anybody steer me to a resolution?

Many thanks

1) Looking through your process, I don't see the need to use THIS or THAT. These items are only needed to differentiate between 2 instances of the same BO. In you case, I'm assuming only 1 instance of the BO is in context at one time.

2) You mentioned this is a process. It's not clear what triggers the process.

Have you considered just having each of the individual IF statements be their own rule in the PHS BO?

kklosson

The process is triggered by a menu item from a drop-down combo on the BO PHS.

Based on experience and reading, I agree that This and That are no in play here.

Each IF statement is its own rule but each are part of the same process. Is this what is referred to as a Rule Collection?

What do the logs tell you about how the values of attributes are being evaluated?

My theory, based on reading, is that this is a single rule collection (I think) and every FIND statement is adding itself into CONTEXT. This must be the case because if I refer to ThisBO, then I always get the first item found, so the context is not changing, though items are being added into context. But it seams that by making continuous FIND statements, I should always be able to access the last item found. This is where I'm hung up.
