Trouble Accessing SendRequestSync() in BPL Code Activity

Question

Question

Nimisha Joseph · Dec 22, 2023

Hi ,

I'm currently working on a BPL (Business Process Language) in InterSystems Ensemble, and I'm facing an issue when trying to call the SendRequestSync() method within a code activity. My understanding is that SendRequestSync() is part of Ens.BusinessProcess, and since Ens.BusinessProcessBPL extends Ens.BusinessProcess, I believe it should be accessible.

However, during compilation, I'm encountering an error stating that the method doesn't exist in the class.

Am I missing something here? Is there a specific way to access SendRequestSync() in the BPL code activity?

Any guidance or insights would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Are you able to share the full error you're seeing?

I have just tested this, and I'm getting no such errors when compiling.

Hi Julian,

This is the code activity from BPL.

<![CDATA[ set sc=..SendRequestSync("XXX Operation",context.XXDocument)]]>

</code>

Error:

xx.ContextResponseHandlers.1 Compiling routine xx.Thread1.1 ERROR: xx.Thread1.cls(S7+17) : MPP5376 : Method or Property 'SendRequestSync' does not exist in this class. TEXT: set sc=..SendRequestSync("XXX Operation",context.XXXDocument) Compiling routine XX.Thread1ChildThreads.1 Compiling routine XX.Thread1PendingResponses.1 Compiling routine XX.Thread1SyncResponses.1 Detected 1 errors during compilation in 1.160s.

Hi Nimisha.

I see what you mean now.

It does seem like the code within a code block doesn't have access to the methods from Ens.BusinessProcess.

I suspect your only option for is to use the "Call" activity set to synchronous with a "Sync" after it.

@Julian Matthews
I already tried using call activity with sync.I'm using a %SQL.StatementResult to loop through rows and make synchronous web service calls.

The problem I'm facing is that this loop works only for the first iteration. If I set the call to be asynchronous,it iterates through all the rows correctly.
