Upgrade to WEBCON BPS 2025 R2 and Solr / JAVA issue

3 2

Dear Community, I’d like to share a potential issue I encountered during the upgrade to WEBCON BPS 2025 R2, specifically related to the Search Server component. I hope this post can save others some time and effort. ? Problem Summary During the upgrade process, the Search Server component fails to start due to a missing Java installation. This occurs even if Java was installed previously via the default WEBCON setup using OpenJDK. ⚠️ Root Cause 1. The upgrade process deletes the entire (...)

Read data from a (text based) PDF

0 1

I am trying (without any success) to read data (ie. employee id) from an existing text-based PDF (test pdf created via MS Word). The documentation is explaining the different actions (ie. wait for ocr ai, wait for text-layer), but not how they actually work together or how to use them. Maybe I am completly wrong in trying to use "OCR AI recognition", "Wait for OCR AI" etc..... My goal is: * A configured hot-folder puts a pdf into a workflow (=> working) * A step/action/etc. reads the em (...)

Disappearing leave's in the graph

0 1

Hi, I'm using version 2025.1.1.44 and came across a strange behaviour. We have a leave of absence process. On the first day of leave, it is visible in the absence chart. On the second day and until the end it stops being visible! After the leave ends it becomes visible once again. This is very strange, but I guess it is not a problem of the process, but only concerning the display of the absence chart. Has anyone experienced such a behaviour? Has it been a bug and is now fixed in the curren (...)

Dictionary Fields in embedded HTML on Dashboard

The field should be stored in a dictionary so that it's easy to maintain. I would then like to display these value in my popup. How can I access the value from my dictionary within my embedded HTML? Or is that even possible, and if not, is there a workaround to achieve this? Thank you in advance for your help.

Problem with counting notifications on the Portal

0 1

Hello, I have a case on the portal. An employee was on leave for about 3 years, and during that time, their account in AD was blocked. When they returned, the account was unblocked. They now have almost 5,000 active notifications, which makes working on the portal very difficult because everything runs very slowly. Interestingly, the issue disappeared for a few days but then came back again. Does anyone have any ideas?

Retrieving previous and comparing to new value

0 3

Hi, I'm having a dilemma about comparing two date objects. My thinking is when I do sql queries to retrieve data from objects it will give you already stored db results, but with webcon functions you actually get value before it is actually stored. It does not work this way, so i'm looking for a way to do it. In conclusion, it should compare date before change and after change (this is triggered on menu action SAVE).
