Triggering Advanced Workflow processes in PHP customizations

Hi Matt Marum, thank you for the clarification, helped a lot.

Regards.

The following works without causing any errors.

use Sugarcrm\Sugarcrm\ProcessManager\Registry as RegistryA;
use Sugarcrm\Sugarcrm\ProcessManager\Registry as RegistryB;

function test()
{
    RegistryA\Registry::getInstance()->drop('triggered_starts');
    RegistryB\Registry::getInstance()->drop('triggered_starts');
}

The alias from my previous example is for the namespace and not the class name. But conceptually, it all just comes down to avoiding name conflicts within your PHP files.

For example, you could just as easily use the following which uses an alias for the class name instead of the namespace.

use Sugarcrm\Sugarcrm\ProcessManager\Registry\Registry as RegistryA;
use Sugarcrm\Sugarcrm\ProcessManager\Registry\Registry as RegistryB;

function test()
{
    RegistryA::getInstance()->drop('triggered_starts');
    RegistryB::getInstance()->drop('triggered_starts');
}

Hi Matt Marum, Thanks for your help,

In this case, using the alias I would use in file 1:

use Sugarcrm\Sugarcrm\ProcessManager\Registry as RegistryA;

and in File 2:

use Sugarcrm\Sugarcrm\ProcessManager\Registry as RegistryB;

right?

Then how would I use the second line? 

Registry\Registry::getInstance()->drop('triggered_starts');

Would it stay the same or should I change it to:

RegistryA\Registry::getInstance()->drop('triggered_starts');

OR

Registry\RegistryA::getInstance()->drop('triggered_starts');

OR

RegistryA\RegistryA::getInstance()->drop('triggered_starts');

Can you help me with this issue?

Regards,

You could also try to use aliases:

use Sugarcrm\Sugarcrm\ProcessManager\Registry as RegistryA;
...
use Sugarcrm\Sugarcrm\ProcessManager\Registry as RegistryB;

Etc.

This would allow you to define multiple local usages of this class within the same file (scheduledtasks.ext.php) without causing name conflicts. You would just need to make sure your alias names are unique.

Hi Dennis Wangerin, thank you very much.

I'll be testing this now, hope it solves the problems we are having. You helped a lot.

Thanks again.
