Need advise on capturing Case ID in a DX API call of Standalone Dpage triggered from a case
We have multiple API calls that being triggered via Dpages in constellation, when processing a case. Now we got the need to capture CaseID of each call into a monitoring table. As the Dpages are configured to run independently without passing Case ID, we are unable to capture the Case ID.
Need suggestion on retrieving the CaseID of the case that is being worked, from the Dpage that runs independently in the case processing.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Configure a case type in constellation
2. Refer Dpage to load some external data, without passing case id.
3. Try to save data to some monitoring table via Dpage, where we need to capture case id as well.

I hope the snippet of code below helps you retrieve the case ID in Constellation.
// Assuming you have the PCore object (pcore) let caseInfo = pcore.getCaseInfo(); let caseID = caseInfo.caseID; // Or caseInfo.ID, depending on the property name console.log("Case ID:", caseID);

@RameshSangili Thanks for looking into this and providing guidance. I am trying on this. Will keep you posted.

Hi @RameshSangili If I understand correctly, this code needs to be embedded in a new DX component? If so, how we can configure the component output in a data transform. Please correct me, if there is anything.

@VSBharathiK17273003 To capture the Case ID in a DX API call triggered by a standalone DPage, you can update the DPage to accept Case ID as a parameter. Then, when the DPage is called from the case, pass the Case ID (like .pyID) to it. This way, inside the DPage you can use the Case ID to log data into the monitoring table. If passing the Case ID directly is not possible, you can try to get it from the requestor context using pxRequestor.pxCurrentWorkItemID, but this may not always work with DX API. Another way is to log the Case ID separately right after the DPage is used in the case flow. The best and cleanest option is to modify the DPage to receive Case ID as a parameter and use it for monitoring.

@Sairohith Thanks for looking into this. We are not considering the option of passing case id to the Dpage though it is the ideal way, because in this way we need to make changes in multiple places of workflow and in different case types. As we are using DX API, pxRequestor.pxCurrentWorkItemID also cannot be used.
