Operations does not show up in the MPP ProcessPlan page. Thanks!

Hi All,

In  MPP (Process Plan) module, we did change to select an existing operation instead of  inserting an operation manually in MPP.  The operation I selected has been saved into relationship Itemtype MPP_ProcessPlanOperation which I created, but the operation does not show up in the MPP process plan page. Any ideas? Thanks a lot. 

I am looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks.

Best,Jen

    Hi Jen,

    If I'm understanding you correctly, I think I understand what's happening. It looks like you're creating some new operations, but not assigning them any variables (name,desc, etc). That's why when you perform this search, there are two empty rows. They exist and have been saved, but don't have any identifying information so it appears that they're not there.

    If I misunderstood the issue please let me know!

      Hi AJ,

      Thanks for you reply! The screenshot actually is the old one, I attached the current one for you that which does not have the empty row issue. The issue actually is when I selected the Operation from the search dialog, then the operation info have been save into mpp_ProcessPlanOperation table successfully，but it does not show up on the mpp page left side Tree structure and right side. Please see the screenshot below. 

      FYI, I created the mpp_ProcessPlanOperation  that is the relationship type of mpp_Operation. Please let me know if you any other questions. Thanks.

      Best,Jen

      Hi Aj,
      Thanks for your reply. I attached the new screenshots for you, and there is no empty row problem currently. Actually, the issue is when I select an operation from Search Dialog trying to add into MPP_ProcessPlan,the operation has been save into MPP_ProcessPlanOperation successfully as I expected, (MPP_ProcessPlanOperation is the relationship type of MPP_Operation that I created), however the Operation does not show up on MPP page left Tree structure and right side. Please see the screenshots below, I believe that would be helpful for you to get more info.
      Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks very much!

        If you were to go into the mpp_processplanoperation relationship and make it visible, can you see the relationships in that tab on the process plan? I'm wondering if it's an issue when attempting to render the actual plan itself, or if the relationship isn't getting added for some reason. 

        Have you made any modifications to the standard MPP data model? How did you create the other process plans if you're unable to add operations?

      Hi Orinwisozka,

      Thanks for your reply. I am wondering what variables to be set here? Thanks.

        Hi Jenli,

        seems like Orinwisozka discovered something very important! I am not sure if I interpret this hint right, but I will try: Your empty entries in the search dialog seems to appear NULL relationships that are not assigned to related items / Operations. The regular OOTB code only use NULL relationships. With your reusable Operation you may have to tie your Operations by the property related_id to appear.
