The base object does not exist

I assume that your process step is an HandleObject component and you are trying to work with the delete shopping cart item?

Hi Markus,

Process step is Mailcomponent- SendRichMail.

In pre-script generation I am doing some value calculations does that causing problem because the object is already deleted.

The pre-script is running during the process generation. At this time, the object is still present.

The reason is the base object specified in the MailComponent.SendRichMail task. When the process step runs the object is already deleted.

The solution is to provide the complete object in the parameter BaseObject of the SendRichMail task. Please check the process "VI_ESS_PersonWantsOrg send mail to approver (deny decision)" to see a sample. In the pre-script of the process step, an EntityPatch of the current state of the object to be deleted will be created and this EntityPatch will be used in the parameter.

'patch of the current PwOHelperPwO
Dim pwoHelper as IEntity = Connection.Session.Source().Get("PwOHelperPwO", $PC(UID_PwOHelperPwO)$)
values("helperOriginal") = EntityPatch.Create(pwoHelper, Session.MetaData(), DiffMode.AllContent).ToXml()

Hi Markus,

I tried this but still, I get error while generating process.

I put below code in pre-script:

Dim Shoppingcartobj as IEntity = Connection.Session.Source().Get("ShoppingCartItem", $UID_ShoppingCartItem$)
values("Shoppingcartobj") = EntityPatch.Create(Shoppingcartobj, Session.MetaData(), DiffMode.AllContent).ToXml()

Please see screens for the eror I get.

I did the below workaround to get the process working:

I removed the object key and passed the parameter to the email template, now the process is working and the email seg got sent.

Could you please tell me why I am getting an error event with EntityPatch?

Thank you.

Please try to use this statement to create the entity patch. It uses the currently loaded object during the process generation is the Entity object.

Value = EntityPatch.Create(Entity, Session.MetaData(), DiffMode.AllContent).ToXml()

This is working, 

Thank you, Markus
