PROTECT FROM functions

leopdurr

I have this rule:

This Rule Protect the Charter.ResState is the status is 'Complete or Chartered:

If Charter.ResState='Complete' OR Charter.ResState='Chartered' Then

PROTECT Charter.ResState FROM ALL EXCEPT Managers AND Administrator

This Rule change the Charter.ResState:

If Invoice.InvoiceBalance WAS CHANGED AND Invoice.InvoiceBalance=0 Then

Invoice.invReservation.ResState='Chartered'

The current ResState of the Charter is 'Booked' I have a rule that changes the Charter.ResState to 'Chartered' after full Payment is received. But it does not change the Charter.ResState. This is what I am getting in the Log.

Executing action Invoice.invReservation.ResState='Chartered' from rules of object Invoice
-ResState=Chartered

-Executing action PROTECT Charter.ResState FROM ALL EXCEPT Managers AND Administrator from rules of object Charter

-Access to attribute ResState of business object Charter is denied. Restoring old value Booked

Is this a bug or something is wrong with my rule?

2 things to try:

1) Change the order of the rule firing.

2) Add SYSTEM to the EXCEPT portion of your PROTECT rule.

More details on both of these in the User Guide.

2) Add SYSTEM to the EXCEPT portion of your PROTECT rule.

I believe that this will only allow a process to update the attribute.

Whether or not a BO's rule can update a protected attribute will be determined by the access level of the LoggedInRegular user.
