Process

  • An iDempiere Process is a piece of code which run on a user interface action such as clicking on a button.
  • A process is a java class that extends org.compiere.process.SvrProcess. It is linked to a button in the ADempiere client and executed when the user hits this button or to a menu entry.
  • It has two methods prepare() - to check process parameters - and doIt() - to do the work.
  • For complex logic that may take some time

Methods

prepare() method

  • prepare() method is for getting the parameters into variables.
  • The prepare function is called first and is used to load parameters which are passed to the process by the framework.
  • Parameters to be passed are configured in Report & Process -> Parameter.
  • To load parameters, you can use:
  ProcessInfoParameter[] para = getParameter(); 
  for (int i = 0; i < para.length; i++)
  { String name = para[i].getParameterName(); 
    if (para[i].getParameter() == null)
    else System.out.println(name); 
  }
  • Getting Record_ID is just working for buttons. To retrieve the id of the current record for processes called from a window, you can use:
   int recordId = getRecord_ID();

doIt() method

  • doIt() method for execution of the process
  • Commonly the doIt method firstly do some validations on the parameters and throws AdempiereUserException or AdempiereSystemException if errors found
  • After this the process code is written and on any error an Exception must be thrown
  • Use the addLog method to register important information about the running of your process
  • return a message to the user indicating success or failure. For failures must throw Exceptions.

Steps to Create a Process

  • Step 1: Create a java class extends org.compiere.process.SvrProcess
  • Step 2: Implements two methods: void doIt() , String prepare()
    • In Prepare() method you can get different parameters
    • In doIt method you try to insert this parameters into your table after you create this class Login with system administrator role
  • Step 3: 'Report and Process' window define your process with parameter
  • Step 4: 'Table and Column' window choose your table and create a column with Button Reference
  • Step 5: Choose your process for this Button
