Attaching a Business Function to an Event
To attach a business function to an event:
On Event Rules Design, select an event.
Click the ƒ(B) button.
You can view a description (if one exists) for a business function by choosing Attachments from the Row menu.
Select a business function and click the Select button.
In the Available Objects list, select objects to pass to the business function.
To assign a literal to a business function parameter, select <Literal> in the Available Objects list.
Enter a single value and click the OK button.
Range and List are not valid literals to use with business function parameters.
Indicate the direction of data flow between Value and Data Items, and click the OK button.
As you click the direction arrow, it toggles through these four options:
Data flows from the source to the target (right-pointing arrow).
Data flows from the target to the source (left-pointing arrow).
Data flows from the source to the target, and upon exiting the target, data flows back to the source (bi-directional arrow).
No data flow (slashed circle).
If the direction of the items is hard-coded in the data structure for a business function (such as when the parameters are predetermined to be input, output, or bidirectional), then this predetermined direction appears here. You must complete the required items that appear in red. The status bar indicates the state of the flow to the target.
Select the Do Filtering checkbox under Transfer Filtering to transfer the end user dynamic filter criteria to the business function along with the parameter criteria.
Select the Include in Transaction option to include this business function for transaction processing.
This option appears on transaction forms only.
Select the Asynchronously option to enable asynchronous processing.
