Autonumbering companies with XOG

[Daniel Dunn]

Is it possible to autonumber Company ID when performing a XOG write?

 

 

<NikuDataBus xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../xsd/nikuxog_company.xsd">

  <Header action="write" externalSource="NIKU" objectType="company" version="13.3.0.286">

    <args name="overrideAutoNumbering" value="false"/>

  </Header>

  <Companies>

    <Company companyId="-1" externalId=" " name="Company Name" status="ACTIVE" type="PROSPECT">

      <CustomInformation>

        <ColumnValue name="partition_code">NIKU.ROOT</ColumnValue>

      </CustomInformation>

    </Company>

  </Companies>

</NikuDataBus>

 

 

This code results in the companyID being entered as "-1".

 

Any ideas?

a bit obvious, but you do have an active auto-numbering scheme defined against the "company_id" attribute?

[Daniel Dunn]

Yes, autonumbering is defined and enabled for company_id.

A quick test in a local v13.0 system gets the same results as you do - I recall there were various issues** with autonumbering when 13 came out - you might need to check your version against the knowledge base? Sorry, not much help.

 

(** Search for "overrideAutoNumbering" in the search box to see some of these)
