Quick Data Lookups Revisited

Body

A long while ago, I added a blog entry that described how to use widget wiring and a script adapter to do quick data lookups in IBM Case Manager 5.0. One of our readers asked how you do a similar thing in ICM 5.2. Although very similar, the format of the payload for the event has changed.

• Add a Script Adapter to a page that has the Properties Widget
• Wire the inbound event of the Script Adapter to the Field Updated outbound event of the Properties Widget
• Wire the outbound event of the Script Adapter back to the Properties Widget's Update Field event

var solnPrefix = this.solution.getPrefix();
if (payload.change.id == solnPrefix+'_ClientID')
  if (payload.change.value == '123-12345')
    return {'changes':[{'id':solnPrefix+'_ClientName','value':'Dave Perman'},{'id':solnPrefix+'_ClientValidation','value':'On File - Approved'}]};
  else return {'changes':[{'id':solnPrefix+'_ClientValidation','value':'pending'}]};
else
  return {};
