Workflow APIs

Old Versions
#1

Hello,
I have a little problem with the APIs of workflows. I want to create a workflow that creates several cards. How can I pass the ID of a specific existing card to a variable.
I have an activity newCustomer and newBuilding in TWE 4.4 and I want to pass the ID of the newly created customer to the newBuilding activity and then the workflow should write them into the referenc attribute.

Field acronym: String and companyReference: Reference

newCustomer = cmdb.newCard(“company”).withCode(acronym).create();

newBuilding = cmdb.newCard(“building”).with(“companyReference”, ?).create

where ? is the API of the IdClass of the company which have the same acronym as the previously created customer card.

thank you for the answer.

Hi,

I think you need to convert the card descriptor to a reference type through the method referenceTypeFrom.
 
newBuilding = cmdb.newCard("building").with("companyReference", cmdb.referenceTypeFrom(newCustomer)).create();
