Getting UIDs of newly created AttestationCases

Hello Community,

I'm using the method CreateAttestations in a script with an array of objectkeys as input:

..
Dim arrXObjKey As String() = colObjects.Select(Of String)(Function(t) t.GetValue(Of String)("XObjectKey")).ToArraySmart()
Dim policy As IEntity = Session.Source.Get("AttestationPolicy", uidAttestPolicy)

policy.CallMethod("CreateAttestations", arrXObjKey)
policy.Save(Session)
...

As I understand, the method CreateAttestations returns the objectkeys of the newly created AttestationCases. My question: what is the correct way to get these return values? I tried something like this, but i keep getting error messages:

Dim arrNewXObjKeys As String() = CStr(policy.CallMethod("CreateAttestations", arrXObjKey)).ToArraySmart

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

Rinay

    If you look at the signature of the method you will see that it returns an array of type DBObjectKey. You can get the XML-XObjectKey from the DBObject with the ToXML method.

    And, you need to use the CallFunction method instead of CallMethod.

    Dim arrNewXObjKeys As DbObjectKey() = CType(policy.CallFunction("CreateAttestations", arrXObjKey), DbObjectKey())
...
Dim xObjectKey As String = arrNewXObjKeys(0).ToXmlString()
...

    Hi Markus,

    sorry for the late reply. I tried your solution, unfortunately I'm getting the error message "Functions can only be called in interactive entities". Here's the section getting the error message:

    ...
Dim arrXObjKey As String() = colObjects.Select(Of String)(Function(t) t.GetValue(Of String)("XObjectKey")).ToArraySmart()

Dim policy As IEntity = Session.Source.Get("AttestationPolicy", uidAttestPolicy)

Dim colObjKeyAttCase As DbObjectKey() = CType(policy.CallFunction("CreateAttestations", arrXObjKey), DbObjectKey())
..
     

    Do you have any idea what's causing is error?

    Thanks in advance!
