Retrieve screen name of UNKNOWN_FORM from RAMP

[rgjohnson]

Attached is a RAMP trace that includes navigation to an UNKNOWN_FORM.

RAMP Trace UNKNOWN_FORM.jpg (82.29 KiB) Viewed 119 times

The actual axes screen name is know and included in the trace, but all screen name values available to a RAMP script are changed to UNKNOWN_FORM. I have to know the actual axes screen name for each form including UNKNOWN_FORM. How can I get this?

I tried creating a function in USERENV.js to retrieve the screen name and then use a SHARED function to execute the USERENV function to retrieve the name, but it seems that all references to the screen name are changed to UNKNOWN_FORM after the actual name is written to the trace as shown above.

Hi RJ

RAMP does not allow you to talk to the aXes engine directly, but there are ways around this by getting aXes to talk to the USERENV object.

1) a) in USERENV add a variable:
myAXES : null,
b) in aXes application onSignon event assign AXES to USERENV.myAxes:
USERENV.myAXES = AXES;
c) in your RAMP script you can access the AXES object via USERENV.myAxes:
This should give you your aXes screen name
USERENV.myAXES.currentForm.matchedDefinition.name
