Pushing TransactionItem as Queue Item

[Jay_Chacko (JC)]

So, I have a Reframework and each transactionItem contains about 30 specificContents or key-value pairs. At the end of the automation, I need to add a queue item to another queue for another process to run. For this queue item, I need to include all 30 key-value items from the transaction, as well as 5 additional items.

My question is: How can I easily and simply edit the current transaction item by adding the 5 additional key-value pairs or specific contents, and then push it as a queue item? Since these are essential dictionaries, I assume there is an easy process for this. Can anyone please provide a screenshot or XAML file to help me with this?

I really don’t want to extract or unpack all 30 specific items from the transaction and then individually add them to the queue item collection.

What I want

what I don’t want 35 items

You can try this

dict = in_TransactionItem.SpecificContent.ToDictionary(function(x) x.key, function(v) v.value.ToString())

This would give you the items as disctionary…then use append to collection activity and append your new key value pairs and then use that in item collection

@Anil_G

in_TransactionItem.SpecificContent.ToDictionary(function(x) x.key, function(v) v.value.ToString())

Can you show me a xaml , I am getting a bunch of imicil errors

@Jay_Chacko

You can append new key values like this as well

Please try this

cheers

Just use Assign activities to create the new key/value pairs.

transactionItem.SpecificContent(“New Key Name”) = “Some value”

Then pass transactionItem.SpecificContent to the Add Queue Item activity in the Item Collection property.

transactionItem.SpecificContent(“New Key Name”)

How to modify queue item data and also add new items to it

Hi there, I am using RE Framework and building a performer robot that first read the data from a queue and then try to process it according to the business rules. Now what I want is after getting the queue item from the orchestrator, I want to modify some of the values and I also want to add some new key/values into it. It doesn’t matter if the data gets updated to the orchestrator but I just want to change it in the queue item variable so that I can use it in the automation later on. Thanks i…

I had to use the invoke method add to add the new key-value pairs to the in_TransactionItem.SpecificContent collection, but @postwick gave the idea to search further

No you didn’t. A simple assign would work fine. Invoke Method is overcomplicating things for no reason.

@postwick

transactionItem.SpecificContent(“New Key Name”)

You are correct. Thanks for calling out, I was getting an object reference error before due to running without the transaction item being initiated. This is indeed a simplistic approach.
