I would suggest a more simple solution: 1. Add a "Display Only" field to the view form. This would not modify the underlying schema in any way. 2. Create a filter that fires on modify where the "Display Only" field is not null. 3. Modify your escalation to do a push fields to the "Display Only" field in the view form.
Whenever you do a push fields to a display only field all of the modify filters will fire but no data will actually change on the record.

[ I Love it!!] 1) Create a filter on the View form that access the external table that you do not have a privilige on. 2) Have a dummy form and filter push data to the view form. 3) (Remember Filters will fire before a commit to the DB) 4) You need 2 filters. 1 that is normal (fire on modify) 1 that acts as your ERROR handler [ no firing condition] 5) When you push to the View form the following will happen. 1) Filter fires on Modify 2) DB error is generated cause you don't have access. 3) 1st Filter then uses the 2nd filter as error handler. 4) Use you 2nd filter as your Error processing to handle the real meat of the workflow. The first filter is just basically a try {} catch{} So the first filter just has to do something mundane like try to set a field (which it can't do) --hope that helps-- On Tue, Apr 6, 2010 at 6:46 AM, navinem <naveen...@gmail.com<mailto:naveen...@gmail.com>> wrote: Hi nn-11, But for the dummy form to push some data, (lemme assume its some kind of flag) you need to have write previlege over the table from which I am accessing the data to be fetched into view form. But unfortunatley i cant add new coloumns to the external table. Hence it wouldnt be a viable solution :( nn-11 wrote: > > What about periodically running an escalation off of a "Dummy" form (that > contains only 1 record) > and have a filter on the Dummy form push the data to the view form that > will > subsequently fire the > filter on the View form? > > On Wed, Mar 31, 2010 at 4:14 PM, navinem > <naveen...@gmail.com<mailto:naveen...@gmail.com>> wrote: > >> Hi All, >> >> Is there any way of creating a custom event and captruing it in Remedy. >> The >> reason why i need this is because of the following reason. >> >> I have an escalation which gets triggered from a view form.
