Copy and clear Comments in one

[Former Member]

Hello,

I want to do the Copy Comments and Clear Comments in one Package . User wants to have a button in the Excel to Copy comments(From Selection and To Selection) and then it should also clear the FROM Selection. I tried creating a custom package and copied both the standard COPY and CLEAR DM scripts . This will not work because I am locking the record and it won't do both the task at the same time.

Any suggestions?.

Please accept the correct answer: "Try to create a custom chain"

When I run the Package attached to the Custom Process Chain . I get the error Below:

Package Script:

I am trying that Approach . One question regarding that how can I commit the Copy comments first and then run clear comments step in the PC. Because both cannot be triggered at the same time.

Please show the screenshot of the custom chain.

Incorrect chain.

First copy copy comments chain then add clear comment step.

Incorrect!

Insert Clear step immediately after copy step.

Hi Vadim,

Can I use any BADI to achieve this functionality .

[former_member186338]

Have you created a custom chain?

[Former Member]

One option I think is to copy the standard Process chain /CPMB/COPYCOMMENTS and create a custom chain . Then add the steps of Clear Comments Process chain(/CPMB/CLEARCOMMENTS) to the custom Chain . Let me know if there is any other better solution?.

[Former Member]

Chain for this is COPY Comments as I created the custom DM by copying the COPY Comments package . After that I added the Clear Comments Task . Let me know if I am able to explain what I am trying to do.

[former_member186338]

And how clear comments tasks are related to this chain?

[Former Member]

Thanks Vadim.

I copied both the DM scripts of COPY and CLEAR comments and created a new custom Package with the script below :

PROMPT(COPYMOVEINPUT,%SELECTION%,%TOSELECTION%,"Select the members to COPY and where to",%DIMS%) PROMPT(RADIOBUTTON,%CHECKLCK%,"Select whether to check work status settings when copy comments.",1,{"Yes, check work status settings when copy comments","No, do not check work status settings"},{"1","0"}) 'PROMPT(DELIMITER,%SELECTION%,) TASK(/CPMB/COPY_COMMENTS,SELECTION,%SELECTION%) TASK(/CPMB/COPY_COMMENTS,TOSELECTION,%TOSELECTION%) TASK(/CPMB/COPY_COMMENTS,CHECKLCK,%CHECKLCK%)

PROMPT(RADIOBUTTON,%CHECKLCK%,"Select whether to check work status settings when deleting comments.",1,{"Yes, delete comments with work status settings","No, do not delete comments with work status settings"},{"1","0"}) TASK(/CPMB/CLEAR_COMMENTS,SELECTION,%SELECTION%) TASK(/CPMB/CLEAR_COMMENTS,ENABLETASK,%ENABLETASK%) TASK(/CPMB/CLEAR_COMMENTS,CHECKLCK,%CHECKLCK%)

Thanks.

"I tried creating a custom package and copied both the standard COPY and CLEAR DM scripts" - please explain what you have done!

What do you mean by "custom package"?
