Hello, I'd love your thoughts on how to approach the following issue: I have a monthly process that entails refreshing 15-20 queries with a specific date range (i.e. June 20-July 21) and then doing 5-6 exports based off of various of the queries. Currently, the process takes 4-6 hours due to the...

There are a couple of new and very cool things posted over at Blackbaud Labs regarding the Blackbaud NetCommunity API . The release of BBNC v5.5 later this month will include a further expansion of the open toolset . "Lot's of effort has been put into expanding the API into new areas of the...

There is no audit trail for any specific field in RE. All you can see is who last changed the record in some way but you can not see what they changed. I know there are some VBA/API programmers out there who have come up with some creative ways to keep audit trails but unless you have that module ($...

Ok I have it finally working! The main thing to check for is to go via the RE client into Config -> Fields and check whether all fields, that are marked as required, are provided for in the code. If any of those fields are missing, the API will throw up an error. Upon looking at the exception, the...

There seems to be some confusion. I am not updating data via the database, I just tried it to see if there were any constraints. The key field is RECORDS_fld_IS_CONSTITUENT which, if set to true, fails but if set to false works, but only inserts a row in the records table, NOT in the Constituent table...

I tried removing the CONSTITUENT_CODE_fld_CONSTIT_ID assignment but I get this error: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040666): Required Field Missing: Status at BBREAPI7.CRecordClass.Save() I did some more investigation yesterday and discovered that if I set: Code: _record.set_Fields...

Hi, My client has purchased Raiser's Edge and requires external systems to integrate their data with RE. I am writing .Net code to manipulate the API to create new constituents but am running into a problem. I tried all the help manuals but am unsure what to do. Code is as follows: IBBSessionContext...

No - solicit codes are table driven and organizational (i.e. mine are different than yours.) The only way to do them as checkboxes is if they were yes/no fields which they are not (and even still you would need the API or VBA module to do a custom form - API/VBA = lotsa $$$$)

Earlier today, Blackbaud announced an extension of our Blackbaud NetCommunity platform specifically designed for Community Foundations . This offering has been implemented with several customers and it really changes the game for how community foundations interact with their constituents. “Our major...
