Need to create report showing approver and when the approval was given

I need to create a PDF document showing the approver and when the approval was given.

No problem with getting the approver (sysapproval_approver) and the comments but from where do I get the actual date and time of the approval from? I can see it under activities but I not getting that info with the getJournalEntry(-1) method.

This is what I get if there is a comment. No state changes

You can use the sys_updated_on field to get date/time this record was updated.   That should work.


Mike,



Thank you for getting back to me. The sys_updated_on field doesn't work for me since it shows the last date the record was updated and not really the true date/time when the approval was given.



What I don't get is, where is the activity shown on the screen copy coming from. If I can get that I am happy.



Armin


You can look in the sys_history_line table to see when it was changed from Requested to Approved.   But, that table is large, so be careful querying it.

These Columns on the Approvals table should give you all the Info you need...
