Failed to update a list item to external list

I'm getting below error when I try to add my record to external list. This happen when spExternalItem.Update for 2nd time. I have value in my params
"Failed to update a list item for this external list based on the Entity (External Content Type) 'SA' in EntityNamespace 'Triggers'. Details: Null was returned to FindSpecific (Read Item operation)."
SPList spExternalList = contentDb.Sites[0].RootWeb.Lists["SA"];
List<string>
lstMachineNames = GetMachineNames(lstWarehouseTaskRecords);
foreach(stringstrMachineName
inlstMachineNames)
SPListItemspExternalItem = spExternalList.Items.Add();
spExternalItem["FormType1"]
= "WH";
spExternalItem["SerialNum1"]
= strMachineName;
spExternalItem.Update();
Serial Number is "map to identifier" in External Content types. "Required" and "Read-only" check box is uncheck. Anyone has any idea? please help.
[UPDATED 7 May 2014]
I believe it is due to BDC problem. I created another column called ID so I can map this ID column as identifiers instead of using SerialNum1 and this error solved!

Hi,
As you said, the error thrown when executing the Update method for the second time.
I suggest you debug your code in Visual Studio and keep watching the values of objects in use to get more details about the root cause of the error.
What’s more, you can take a look at the posts from Dimitry and Scot in this thread with similar error message:

Update one list item to another list using WF

hi
i have a SP Designer workflow which copies one list item to another list
but if i edit the 1st list this will copy a new item to another list i want the same item to be edited without making a new copy of the item.
Alen Austin

so in the workflow separate between on edit and on new item, so mostly you will need to either do checking and have variable saved to know if you are editing only, or create 2 workflows one when you add new item and other when u edit (if needed)

Open references of other list items from a list item in the same window or tab

Hi there,
We have migrated from lotus notes to sharepoint. We have converted the lotus notes forms to sharepoint forms. Basically the list items are pages and there are links of other pages in a page.
My problem is I want to open the other pages in the same tab or window and not in a separate window.(currently the links open in a separate window which is not the requirement.)
In terms of sharepoint I would say,
I have references(links) to other list items of the list in a single list item. I want to open the other list items in the same window (tab).
How can we achieve this?? If possible without much codes??
Please suggest.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

How to copy List item from one list to another using SPD workflow using HTTP call web service

Hi,
How to copy List item from one list to another using SPD workflow using HTTP call web service.
Both the Lists are in different Web applications.
Regards, Shreyas R S

Hi Shreyas,
From your post, it seems that you are using SharePoint 2013 workflow platform in SPD.
If that is the case, we can use Call HTTP web service action to get the item data, but we cannot use Call HTTP web service to create a new item in the list in another web application with these data.
As my test, we would get Unauthorized error when using Call HTTP web service action to create a new item in a list in another web application.
So I recommend to achieve this goal programmatically.

SPListItem deleting save the list item into another list.

Hi Friends,
Using SPList Item deleting event receiver ,before deleting the item I want save the list item to the another SharePoint list.
How can we do this using event receivers.Please help me anyone.
Thanks,
Tiru
Tiru

Before delete the item, use the below logic
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1075323/copy-list-items-from-one-list-to-another-in-sharepoint
or
You can do this by 2 workflows one creating list item by copying and second workflow on the copied item which will delete the original list item.

Lookup column only return 201 items from external list

I have a BCS external list which contains about 700 items. I already set the BCS Throttle limit to 50000 items (default) and 1000000 (max). I can view all 700 items in the external list.
I created a regular lookup column in a custom list to lookup the external list. When I click the drop-down, it only returns the first 201 items with a red message "Warning: Too many results have
been returned. This result set may be incomplete or truncated.". I need all items available for selection so set up a filer will not work for me.
I just wonder if there is any work around for the issue. Many thanks.

This is unfortunately the default behavior with external content type. The limit is set at 201. You can however avoid this by setting appropriate filters to limit the number of results to less than 200. The user can use wildcards in their filter to
more fine tune the results returned.

Failed to update in the Item Master Form ATO field checked

Hi All ,
I am trying to implement B2B ( Back to Back Order ) and to implement the B2B the ATO should be checked irrespective of Manufacturing is installed or not.
Now the problem is I am able to update some of the item but failed to update some of the item and it gives error " the Sales Order Line is opened you can not
check the ATO".
Now I did to avoid this I updated the columns BUILD_IN_WIP_FLAG to 'Y' and REPLENISH_TO_ORDER_FLAG = 'Y' in the Item master table .
And I was successfully able made further transaction of the open sales order line.
I wanted to know to updating the field BUILD_IN_WIP_FLAG to 'Y' and REPLENISH_TO_ORDER_FLAG = 'Y' will impact our bussiness in Future.
Regards,
Sharad

Hello Sharad,
First thing, if you are implementing B2B in your system then your organization is a Manufacturing organization or distribution organization?
If this is not a Manufacturing organization, then the item should be a Buy Item along with ATO attribute enabled. So that the B2B requisition created & then PO.
If you are implementing Assemble to Order in Manufacturing organization, then your ordered item should be a make item not a buy item. For this sub assembly or finally assembly you need to define the bill, routing etc. After that once you book the ATO sales order, the work order will be created. & the process continues.
The error "the Sales Order Line is opened you cannot check the ATO", comes when you are having open sales order exists & you are trying to update item attributes. It is always advisable to close all the sales order lines in this case before changing the same.
Unless & until you are using BOM & WIP in your organization, change of BUILD_IN_WIP_FLAG will not affect. Please make sure not to update these attributes from backend using database update script.

Jyoti Ranjan Mohanty

Oracle Forms List Items :not populating list Dynamically using select Query

Hi ,
I need to create a list item. And the values to be populated in the list are from Database but I'm unable to populate from database.
Please help me out how to populate the values from database.
In Property Pallete we have Elements in List under Functional section , In this we have to manually enter the List values but we can't use any Query to Dynamically populate.
Thanks,
Kiran Sanga

When you need to fill a list with the result of a query, you'll have to do it at runtime.
Andreas has a good blogpost about this.

        ct_input_fields   = lt_input_fields
      exceptions
        error_occurred    = 1

Hi ,
I have a requirement to get data from one list(e.g., A) and display in some other list's(e.g.,B) custom display form(e.g., CustomDispForm.aspx).
Here I am going to do this with the help of Jquery SP Services using GetListItems(). For getting the data I need to pass two parameters from list(B), but the data is like <xsl:value-of select="@testField_"/> .
I have stuck how to pass such variables in Jquery function.
Please let me know how to achieve .
Thanks in Advance.

Follow below code to pass variables to jQuery function in xslt. It will better to use parameters.
<xsl:variable name="varTestFields">
<xsl:value-of select="@TestField_"/>
</xsl:variable>

jQueryFunction('{varTestFields}'
OR

jQueryFunction('{@TestFields_}'
