How to fetch the field values of ProcessInstance

Hi,

 

    I have a requirement, where in I need to assign the text that is present in Comments field of Steps in ProcessInstance to Approved Comments field of Opportunity.  So, kindly suggest a solution to the above mentioned problems.  

 

 

Trigger:


trigger ApprTrigger on Opportunity (after insert,before update) {
Opportunity [] o = Trigger.new;
ApprProcess.ProcessInst(o);
}

 

 

 

Apex Class: 

 

 

 

public class ApprProcess

{
public static void ProcessInst(Opportunity [] o1)
{
for(Opportunity  o2:o1)
{
ProcessInstance [] op = [SELECT Id,Status,(SELECT Id, StepStatus, Comments FROM Steps)FROM ProcessInstance limit 1];
for (ProcessInstance op1 : op)
{
if(op1.Status == 'Approved')
{
o2.Approved_Comments__c = op1.ProcessInstanceStep.comments;
}
}
}  
}

 

 


 

The reference site that I have used is http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api/Content/sforce_api_erd_process.htm

 

 

When I am saving the above class I am getting the following error.

ErrorError: Compile Error: Invalid foreign key relationship: ProcessInstance.ProcessInstanceStep at line 12 column 27

 

 

So, can anyone suggest a solution for the above mentioned problem.

 

 

Regards

 

Arun

Arun,

 

You are pulling a child object in the original query.  In order to traverse the relationship, you have to build a list of the child steps:

 

 

public class ApprProcess {

    public static void ProcessInst(Opportunity [] o1) {
        for(Opportunity  o2:o1) {
            ProcessInstance [] op = [SELECT Id,Status,(SELECT Id, StepStatus, Comments FROM Steps)FROM ProcessInstance limit 1];
            for (ProcessInstance op1 : op) {
                for (ProcessInstanceStep pis : op1.Steps) {
                    if(op1.Status == 'Approved') {
                        o2.Approved_Comments__c = pis.Comments;
                    }
                }
            }
        }  
    }
   
}

 This should allow you to save the trigger.

 

Hope this helps

Jay
