Process that skips

Mark HHP

Is there a way to run a process, let's say to Update a list of objects, that skips an object if a required field is missing?

I had a list of objects that had been created without the required field but now that it's required it halts the process when it hits the first missing field.

I believe you could, have you tried using 'Failure Rules'?? see the awareim documentation

You could add a flag attribute BO.AllDataExists and run a process which finds all instances that have all records and turn on the flag.

In other processes, you could then just use the BO.AllDataExists flag to find and process the records you want to process.

Thanks guys, this is really helping me think outside of the box. I'm a designer not a developer so I sometimes confuse myself 😛 I would never have thought of the Flag idea!

Also, just filter the FIND to weed out those objects that don't meet your criteria.

Tom's suggestion is the clean approach when using Aware.

If there is just a single required attribute, that attribute is the flag.

FIND BO WHERE BO.RequiredField IS DEFINED

FIND BO WHERE BO.RequiredField IS UNDEFINED

I love that there are so many ways to do one thing! Thanks a bunch, guys!
