Bulk update activities

post

/rest/ofscCore/v1/activities/custom-actions/bulkUpdate

This operation simultaneously creates or updates multiple activities in a single call.

This operation is used to synchronize data from an external system to Oracle Field Service. The operation performs the following actions:

  • Attempts to find an activity in Oracle Field Service based on the key fields provided in the request. Note that past activities (on yesterday and earlier) are not visible for the function.
  • Creates a new activity, if no match is found or updates the existing activity, if a match is found.
  • Updates the related objects of an activity, if the objects are present in the request.
    • The following objects are updated:
    • Customer inventories
    • Required inventories
    • Resource preferences
    • Activity links

The updates are made in the order of the activity items in the request.

This operation is executed as multiple transactions where in each transaction may succeed or fail. The response contains a list of results which includes the success or failure of each transaction and the reason for failure (if applicable).

Restrictions:

Moving between dates is supported only for individual segments of a segmentable activity. This function doesn't support moving a whole segmentable activity to a new date.

The following restrictions apply while updating multiple activities simultaneously:

  • Maximum size of the decoded HTTP request is 5 MB.
  • File properties cannot be set.

Title: Bulk Update Parameters
The parameters that determine the action to be performed on an existing activity in Oracle Field Service.
Show Source
  • Title: Fallback Resource ID
    The resource ID used as a spare resource, if assigning an activity to a specified resource fails during activity creation.
  • Title: identifyActivityBy
    Allowed Values: [ "activityId", "apptNumber", "apptNumberPlusCustomerNumber", "apptNumberPlusIbAssetId" ]

    The logic used to identify the items in the 'activities' array.

    • If the value of the parameter is 'activityId', then each activity item in the 'activities' array has to contain an 'activityId' field.
      • If the 'activityId' field is specified, but activity with the same ID is not found in Oracle Field Service, then the 'Not found' error is returned for the activity item.
      • If an activity is found, then the existing activity is updated.
      • To make sure a new activity is created, you can set activityId to null.
    • If the value of the parameter is 'apptNumber', then each activity item in the 'activities' array has to contain an 'apptNumber' field.
      • If the 'apptNumber' field is specified, but activity with the same apptNumber is not found in Oracle Field Service, then a new activity is created with the specified apptNumber.
      • If an activity is found, then the existing activity is updated.
    • If the value of the parameter is 'apptNumberPlusCustomerNumber', then each activity item in the 'activities' array has to contain the 'apptNumber' and 'customerNumber' fields.
      • If both the fields are specified, but activity with the same apptNumber and customerNumber is not found in Oracle Field Service, then a new activity is created with the specified fields.
      • If an activity is found, then the existing activity is updated.
  • If Exists Then Do Not Update Fields
    Title: If Exists Then Do Not Update Fields
    The fields are not updated, if the activity already exists in Oracle Field Service.
  • Title: If In Final Status Then
    Allowed Values: [ "doNothing", "createNew", "updateExisting" ]
    The parameter specifies the action to be performed for an existing activity with the final status. Activity in a final status means that the activity exists in Oracle Field Service and can have one of the following statuses, 'completed', 'cancelled', 'notDone'. Note that past activities are not visible for the function and not considered as "existing" in this context.

    'doNothing' means that the API should not perform any actions when an activity is found with a final status.

    'createNew' means that the API should ignore the existing activity and create a new one, when an activity is found with a final status. 'The parameter cannot be set to 'createNew' when the 'identifyActivityBy' parameter is set to 'activityId'.

    'updateExisting' means that the API should update an existing activity, when an activity is found with a final status.

  • Title: Inventory Properties Update Mode
    Allowed Values: [ "keepProperties", "eraseProperties" ]

    The processing mode for updating the properties of each inventory item in the 'inventories' array. The possible values of this parameter are:

    • keepProperties: The specified inventory properties are updated and the properties that are not specified are retained.
    • eraseProperties: The specified inventory properties are replaced and the properties that are not specified are erased. This is the default value of the parameter.

    If the activity type feature 'SLA and Service window use customer time zone' is enabled, then the service window is accepted in the time zone of the customer. If it is not enabled, then the Service Window is accepted in the time zone of the resource to which the activity is currently assigned.

    If the activity is later assigned to another resource and the activity type feature 'SLA and Service window use customer time zone' is enabled, then the Service Window is recalculated so that the fields are not changed in the customer's time zone, but they are changed in the time zone of the new resource.

  • Set Position in Route
    Title: Set Position in Route

    If the activity is later assigned to another resource and the activity type feature 'SLA and Service window use customer time zone' is enabled, then the SLA is recalculated so that the fields are not changed in the customer's time zone, but they are changed in the time zone of the new resource.

Examples

The following example shows how to bulk update activities by submitting a POST request on the REST resource using cURL.

Note:

This request creates a new activity with apptNumber="XS3453456" if it doesn't exist (if the activity is not marked for the same day or future, it will not be recognized as existing by the system). If the activity with apptNumber "XS3453456" exists in the system (if the activity is marked for the same day or for a future day) it will be updated, unless it is in the status 'completed' (which means no changes will be performed according to the "ifInFinalStatusThen": "doNothing" option).

The request also updates the activity with the list of customer inventories (in the Inventories section), list of required inventories for that activity ("requiredInventories" section), creates links to other activities ("linkedActivities" section), and updates resource preference information ("resourcePreferences" section).

In this example, the "linkedActivities" section describes relations of the activity "XS3453456" with the activities, "A0001" and "B0002". The resulting relation will be as follows:
  • for the "fromActivity" item: A link is created from the activity "A0001" to the activity "XS3453456" with the link type "start-after". This indicates that the activity "XS3453456" should be started after the activity "A0001".
  • for the "toActivity" item: A link is created from the activity "XS3453456" to an activity "B0002" with the link type "start-after". This indicates that the activity "B0002" should be started after the activity "XS3453456".
