Description
These APIs create a solution record (and one workaround). You may supply the title and description for the solution. The workaround, public indicator, and resolution code are used for the one workaround that is created. You may optionally dispatch the solution. If a queue name is specified, the solution is dispatched to that queue. Otherwise it is left in the default WIPBIN of the owner.
You may specify a creation date, and the user who created the solution. You may also set additional fields in the probdesc object. Finally, you may specify if a time bomb (for business rules) is generated, or not.
Parameters
Parameter Name Required? Description
the_title No Title of the solution
description No The problem description of the solution
workaround No The text of the 1st workaround for the solution. Highly recommended that
this have text
is_public Yes Is the workaround public, or not? Used by Clarify Web applications
res_code No Resolution code for the workaround. If left blank, default value is used from
the list
queue_name No Name of the queue to dispatch to. If blank, solution is not dispatched
create_date No When was solution created? If blank, current date/time is used
user_name No Who created the solution? If blank, current user is used
create_time_bomb Yes Should a time bomb be added to the system for business rule firing?
int_fld1, int_fld2 No Names of additional fields to write
str_fld1, str_fld2
date_fld1
int_val1, int_val2 No Values for the additional fields. These values are only used if the
str_val1, str_val2 corresponding field name field is filled with a valid field name
date_val1
fld_list Yes List of additional field names to write. List must be present, but does not
need to have any items in the list
type_list Yes List of additional field data types to write. List must be present, but does not
need to have any items in the list

Examples
· Create a new solution with title, description, workaround (public, with default res code). Dispatch the solution to the "High" queue. Generate time bombs, and the create was made by Joe on November 11, 1998 at 11:00 AM.
Visual Basic:
Dim ret_int As Integer
Dim soln_objid As Long
Dim work_objid As Long
ret_int = fcinter.create_soln("The Solution","There is a problem", _
"No current workaround", true, "", "High",_
"11/11/1998 11:00:00", "joe", true ,"", 0, _
"", 0, "", "", "", "", "", "")
If ret_int = 0 Then
soln_objid = fcinter.ret_objid
work_objid = fcinter.ret_objid2
End If
Javascript:
var ret_int = fcinter.create_soln("The Solution","There is a problem",
"No current workaround", true, "", "High",
"11/11/1998 11:00:00", "joe", true ,"", 0,
"", 0, "", "", "", "", "", "");
if (ret_int == 0){
var soln_objid = fcinter.ret_objid;
var work_objid = fcinter.ret_objid2;
}
