Mass email of Statements: no session or request for parseReportOptions.bsh

[Griffin <Gr...@swifttool.com>]

Greetings and salutations,

 

Let me start by saying I inherited a very old installation of ofbiz/opentaps
that cannot be updated because of other infrastructure limitations, so my
problem might relate to something that was fixed a decade or more ago.

 

I am attempting to automate the emailing of statements to all customers with
an outstanding balance. My intention is to write a service and schedule it
to run on the first of each month.

 

Currently, if I navigate to the Collections Summary in Receivables and
select a customer from the list, I can then click a button to generate a PDF
statement. I can then attach this statement to an email and send it.
However, when I write a service to generate this PDF as an attachment to an
email, I consistently run into an issue where parseReportOptions.bsh cannot
find a "request" or a "session".  It is my understanding that these are
supposed to always be in context, however, I consistently get 'void' (not to
be confused with null) for these two items.

 

I am at a loss as to why, and what I can do to fix it.

 

Can anyone make any suggestions?

Hi,

you installation must be quite old, beanshell (.bsh) scripts are removed 
from OFBiz in around 2016.

 From memory you are right that session and request are in place in 
beanshell scripts as they are in the newer groovy scripts - but only if 
you are in a request/response context. This is not the case if you are 
running a scheduled service!

So, guessing blindly without seeing your code, you should check if you 
have the right solution design and if the bsh script is usable in your 
situation.

hth,

best regards,
