After further review, the Custom REST End Points functionality that debuted in OpenPaes 8.0.0.2 will satisfy this request.
As far as providing a more specific capability "out of the box"... IBM has considered the request. While we are aligned with the request, it is unlikely to be addressed in the next 18 months. If this request receives continued customer interest, it may be resubmitted for consideration after 18 months from the submit date.
Also to add to my original point, general math functions would be extremely helpful for the same reason listed below. Without them we have to keep pushing it down to custom code. I know it was mentioned that getting away from triggers and helpers would be 'the future' but that is only possible if we have a more robust selection of functions with the query API.
Right now the ideas were brought up because of OP's BPM integration, being able to handle returns easier if you could take only the top few records or last few records to handle as work units.
A COUNT is great primarily because it easily reduces network traffic containing sensitive information. Imagine (as we do now) returning a huge table from a query just to handle and review it in a trigger or integrated app, when you just need a COUNT. We keep having to push the work onto another application rather than just not pass all the data in the first place.
Hi Warren,
Could you provide some Use Cases that describe the overall scenarios that you are trying to satisfy?
Thanks,
