Answered: SOAP API Security

Thu, 30 Mar 2023 06:18:19 +0000

Hi there. Sorry for the late answer.

The security model of Efficy is identical between the UI and the RPC operations (SOAP, JSON requests).

Could it be that the query with the e-mail parameter is SQL and the one for opportunities in Efficy format. The latter one will have the security clause included and will filter only by the permissions of the current user (defined by the groups of SOAP User)

You could write them both in SQL and only share the queries with the SOAP Group and don't give any further table rights on other entities.

Edit specific detail from SOAP API when K_RELATION exists

Wed, 15 Mar 2023 13:53:11 +0000

when using the soap interface, the customer wants to update a detail (contact) on a relation where K_RELATION is present.

This is his request

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:efficy=http://www.efficy.com xmlns:SOAP-ENV=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope>
            <SOAP-ENV:Body>
                           <efficy:edit key="734871" entity="POLI">
                                           <updatedetail detailkey="27963" detail="CONT">
                                                           <f_role>2</f_role>
                                           </updatedetail>
                           </efficy:edit>
            </SOAP-ENV:Body>

and this the response :

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:efficy=http://www.efficy.com xmlns:SOAP-ENV=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope>
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
    <efficy:edit key="734871" entity="POLI" edithandle="4" error="true">
        <updatedetail detailkey="27963" detail="CONT">
            <f_role>2</f_role>
        </updatedetail>
    </efficy:edit>
    <SOAP-ENV:Fault>
        <faultcode>EEfficyException</faultcode>
        <faultstring>Cannot find detail with key "27963", relation "1"</faultstring>
        <faultid/>
        <Detail>CORE-1332</Detail>
    </SOAP-ENV:Fault>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>

does he need to search for the specific detail with the detail or is there a better way to obtain the K_RELATION to edit the correct detail ?

Answered: What is WebHookDispatch service used for?

Wed, 19 Oct 2022 15:17:27 +0000

Hum I found the information in EDN : https://help.efficy.io/edn/admin/crft_2021_otherchanges

WebHookDispatch (builds greater than 26325)

There was already a schedulable process that group several database cleaning operations.

Now the process has been converted to two services:

WebHookDispatchAdmin / WebHookDispatcService: it handles only the WebHook part of the DBMaintenance process

In addition, the new WebHookDispatch has some new features:
- Within the selected databases, it checks the ones having active WebHooks and cache the list during 4 hours (configurable)
- A new field OWNEREMAIL has been added in the WebHook configuration in the designer, to notify the responsible of the hook when there is an issue. A mail will be sent once a day when there are more then 10 consecutive errors or when the pending messages stored into the database growed up to 1 Mb

If you want to know more about WebHooks you can also check this projectGuide: https://help.efficy.io/edn/projectguides/webhooks

Answered: Is there a way to send mutlivalue fields values through the API ?

Thu, 06 Oct 2022 13:31:44 +0000

R&D answer :

These translated values are not returned by the query. The interface that consumes the data is responsible to translate them, in Efficy this is done by <%GetDataGrid()%> using getMultiValueLabels.

You need to create a virtual field with a SQL stored procedure like GET_OPPORTUNI_COMPETITORS_VAL.

How to manage SOAP requests WSSE (open spec) authentication in JS ?

Tue, 04 Oct 2022 14:16:14 +0000

Hello,

Some context: I have a customer who want me to query the KBO OpenData API.
They use SOAP along with the WSSE open standard, for the authentication.

Do we have a library / tool / projutil to handle the generation of a WSSE header (given a password and username) ?

I swear I have looked around, but alas didn't find such tool

Thank you

Efficy Entreprise Remote API and Sessions : does the SS_ID is working with the JSON API and the API Key ?

Wed, 05 Jan 2022 15:32:12 +0000

On EDN efficysessionclass it is written that we can use the SS_ID parameter in order to create has many sessions we want with the SOAP api.

I suppose it works, but does this SS_ID parameter is working with the JSON API?
I also suppose that it works, but does this SS_ID parameter is working when we use an Efficy API KEY?
Do we have any limitation of the number of sessions that we can open/managed?
Do we have to manage a cookie for each session we open with the SS_ID?
I suppose we need to do it, but do we have to close each sessions once all the calls are finished?
If we don't use the SS_ID parameter is it possible to launch several Efficy API calls at the same time? if yes, how many simultaneous call can we do?

I know it is a lot of question, but I could not find any answer in EDN.

Fri, 15 Oct 2021 07:26:57 +0000

Hi Stijn

I tested it in 2021, 11.3 and there is no issue. But indeed, with 11.2 I can replicate the same error as you have with the following code snippet from the Browser console.

var body = [{
        "@name": "Edit",
        "entity": "Docu",
        "commit": "true",
        "closecontext": "true",
        "@func": [{
                "@name": "update",

                    "NAME": "220309282357",
                }
            }
        ]
    }
]

fetch("json", {
    body: JSON.stringify(body),

        "Accept": "application/json"
    }

Answered: is there a way to get the session ID

Tue, 25 May 2021 07:01:17 +0000

Logging a session ID is a security weakness and described by OWASP here:

Sensitive data like the session ID should not be included in the logs in order to protect the session logs against session ID local or remote disclosure or unauthorized access. However, some kind of session-specific information must be logged in order to correlate log entries to specific sessions. It is recommended to log a salted-hash of the session ID instead of the session ID itself in order to allow for session-specific log correlation without exposing the session ID.

As example, this ServerJs snippet returns a hash of the Efficy SessionID (cookie property) salted with the Efficy license name.

return hashSha256(Request.cookie + Efficy.databaseLicenseName());

E.g. 71d4732d8119aacbc67b671598e3d6bc270fec141372ca6b07f811b91cb3cc57

Each request of this session with have the same returned string, that allows you to uniquely identify and group session related information, without giving up security.

Answered: How to pass parameters to executeDatabaseQuery?

Mon, 17 May 2021 19:24:54 +0000

After testing and checking the code, it appears that the retrieval of arguments of a SOAP node always assumes that the argument names in the XML should be lowercase, as they are for all XML generated by the DataSync Remote.

Therefore, the solution is quite easy :

queryParameters.values("param" + (index + 1)) = param;

Answered: Can we know the IP address of the sender of a node request?

Tue, 02 Mar 2021 08:42:11 +0000

Hello,

A trick could be that when a user logon. You do an ajax call from the CRM client side to an external service.
Example:

$.getJSON('https://api.ipify.org?format=jsonp&callback=?', function(data) {
console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2));
});

Then with the answer you send you ip to CRM server side and register it inside your user session https://help.efficy.io/edn/serverjs#Efficy-writeSessionString

Then It could be accessible in every node endpoint with
https://help.efficy.io/edn/serverjs#Efficy-readSessionString

For the security reason: don't forget that change your ip is maybe to most easy think to do when you want to use some security door, and alot of customer even use VPN for their business.

Answered: when this log file is created ? efficy_ServerJS_YYYYDDMM.log

Wed, 09 Sep 2020 07:21:18 +0000

Log is not synchronous. Lines are buffered and we need to explicitly flush the buffer to the file. Flush is done in the Log method, if one minute elapsed since the previous flush. This is why your file is created at the second call.

Answered: Is it possible to pass a null value in JSON API request?

Wed, 19 Aug 2020 06:39:42 +0000

Hi Vitaly

It's been a long time since we were in contact :-)
You can't explicitly pass a NULL value, at least I don't know about it.

It looks a better idea to improve the select statement that would need to make a distinction between '' and NULL. For native Efficy queries, it's handled automatically.

Answered: Erro 'Field must have a value' when it is filled in

Wed, 22 Apr 2020 19:08:09 +0000

Hi Bart, the COMP_COMP relation is reciprocal. You have to set the relation value for both records. Here is an example of how you set the RELATION value for both relation records.

try {
  var
    editCompComp = Efficy.openEditContextRelation2(entity, detail, 
      key, detailKey),
    dsCompComp0 = Efficy.getMasterDataset(editCompComp, 0),
    dsCompComp1 = Efficy.getMasterDataset(editCompComp, 1);

  // LK_COMP_COMP_RLT, Head Office
  dsCompComp0.edit;
  dsCompComp0.fieldByName("RELATION").asInteger =  6;  

  // LK_COMP_COMP_RLT, Subsidiary
  dsCompComp1.edit;
  dsCompComp1.fieldByName("RELATION").asInteger = 11;  

  Efficy.commitChanges(editCompComp, false);
} finally {
  Efficy.closeContext(editCompComp);
}

Hi Jeroen

You can use these operations in a document edit context. First insert an attachment, secondly update the stream. The window.btoa is the browsers function to Base64 encode.

{

{"@name": "updateAttachment",

Answered: OAuth2.0: Connection from serverside script

Wed, 20 Nov 2019 13:12:18 +0000

For the Trendstop integration, I used openUrlSecure from a ServerJS module to authenticate with OAuth2.

The concepts is as followed:

Each outgoing request is wrapped in a function _sendWebRequest to add the correct headers each time
For each response, the statusCode is checked. In case it's a 401, the request did not have a valid access token.
Using the credentials, a login request is send using _getOAuth2 in order to set the access_token value.
The failed request is send again.

Below code snippets to give you an idea:

/*
@import format from "format";
@import WebRequest from "custom/utils/webrequest";
*/

function main() {
    var requestValues = {
        "id": "...",
        "pass": "..."
    },
    // Remove the Windows CRLF that is added after each 76 chars wide chunks (MIME requirement)
    encodedAuthorization = encodeMime64Utf8(requestValues.id + ":" + requestValues.pass).replace(/\r\n/,'');    
    postObject = {
        "grant_type": "client_credentials",
        "scope": "company structure:read fields:read structure:write fields:write users:read users:write expenses:read expenses:write"
    },
    requestOptions = {
        url: "https://sandbox-accounts.rydoo.com/",
        headers: ["Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded", 
        "Authorization: Basic " + encodedAuthorization].join("\n")
    },
    wr = new WebRequest(requestOptions).send(postObject, "connect/token", "POST");

    // 200, OK: The request has succeeded.
    if (wr.response.success && wr.response && wr.response.body) {
        var OAuth2 = JSON.parse(wr.response.body);
        if (!OAuth2.access_token) throw Error("Unexpected OAuth2 response received");   
        Efficy.log(OAuth2.access_token);
        return OAuth2;

Answered: Remote Api node is working but return an error in header

Mon, 14 Oct 2019 11:59:18 +0000

Hello Vincent,

by default the status is set to "error" for /json /node /rest requests at the start of the processing of the request, and only an actual explicit successful processing will switch it to "success".

in the case of /node, since it's always a custom script that does the work, it's your responsibility to know when you consider it a success and set the header appropriately. If this is not done in your script, the value will be the default one, which is "error".

In order to help you with that, you're welcome to use the standard lib "http" serverjs module that has some methods to automatically return a successful content or error content, check it out, and it's also used by standard node scripts. Location is \lib\serverjs\api\http.js. Here is a usage example :

/*
@import Http from "http";
@import Kanban from "kanban/kanban";
*/

function main() {
var req = Http.getJsonRequest(),
res;
try {
res = Kanban.modifyItem(req.content.entity, req.content.key, req.content.fields);
Http.sendJsonResponse(res);
}
catch (e) {
Http.sendHttpErrorResponse(Http.HTTP_OK, e.message);
}
}

Efficy replaced all activex scripts over the years with two systems:

A protocol request, like efficy: that is mapped with Sidebar.exe and also handled by this executable
Sending an http request to the Sidebar web-server

I suggest Talk registers a protocol "talk" on the machine and that you work with anchors calling the protocol.

Tue, 29 Jan 2019 07:40:00 +0000

Hello there,

Did you try with openUrlSecure already? I made some example usages on this guide.

I see you are using http for the moment. That could allow you to inspect the HTTP communication send out by SOAP-UI and by Efficy, so you could compare what's going over the wire. I'm a fan of the free software Fiddler to scan network packages. Obviously, it can only inspect non-encrypted HTTP traffic.

You have to use the insertDetail2 method, just like it's done in serverscripts and in the user interface.

Please learn first the difference between openeditcontextrelation, addlink and insertdetail before starting your developments. If you don't understand when to use what method, you will likely end up with a badly written integrations. Badly that it can be slow and you might risk not having a main detail.

WebService: NullReferenceException when trying to perform a CloseContext()

Tue, 04 Jul 2017 14:54:02 +0000

Hello,

I am facing an issue with the efficy webservice.

My webservice receives data from the customer website in order to perform several actions in Efficy such as Update/Creation of Contact/Companies.

When I call the UpdateRecordWithFields method of the Record class, I received sometimes the following error:

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at EfficyProxy.SOAPClient.GetResponse()
at EfficyProxy.EfficySession.ExecuteBatch()
at EfficyProxy.EfficySession.CloseContext(TContextHandle ContextHandle, Boolean commit)
at Record.UpdateRecordWithFields(EfficySession Database, Double key, Hashtable fields) in c:\inetpub\efficy\customs\custom\WebService\App_Code\Record.cs:line 231

The line 231 of the Records class is the following:
-> Database.CloseContext(editContext);

This error is not coming from the Efficy Worfklow because everything is well executed.

The strange things are:
-> It not happen all the time
-> It is not linked to the sent data or code in the webservice because if the customer retry to call my webservice, it works

I think this issue is maybe related to a session issue but I don't know how to troubleshoot it.

Does anyone already met this issue or has an idea to solve it ?

Many thanks.

Best regards,
Pierre.

Answered: Webhook configuration

Fri, 21 Oct 2016 11:42:33 +0000

Because the third party website/application needs to be able to respond to the URL you provided in the webhook, you're page needs to fulfill at least these requirements:

The page has to exposed over internet. Typically no issue for ASP clients
It has to work with a single request, your third party application will not first logon and properly logout at the end

So, an Efficy guest page is the best solution because it supports anonymous access.

How should the callback url be constructed? Well the guest page needs to be able to identify to what user or record the async callback is related. You could for instance generate serverside a unique key (store it also in DB) and let the webhook call the guest page with this ID.

Security is important, you should be sure that the webhook callbacks comes from that third party application. Check the documentation of the third party app to see what they offer.

Last but not least, use HTTPS

Answered: Disable notifications for SOAP created events

Wed, 01 Jun 2016 12:38:12 +0000

Hello Kevin.

The SOAP interface does not expose a way to disable notifications. Else, that would be a security issue because then you could change something silently.

However, in database workflow, you could disable the notifications for specific users after logon. To my knowledge this is a session setting, and certainly not "global" or server wide as you state in your question.

I have used with success the code snippet below in Database workflow to disable notifications for integration (INTGRP members) users. They all connect by SOAP

function AfterLogon() {
    initDisableFlags();
}

function initDisableFlags() {
    var k_IntGrp = Database.GetUserID("INTGRP");
    if (Database.isCurrentUserInGroup(k_IntGrp)) {
        Database.DisableNotifications = true;   // Disable System notications for the whole session
        Database.DisableChangeLog = true;           // Disable the generation of entries in SysChanged
    }

Are you sure the MIME64 encoded content from <updateattachment> is OK?
You are storing the value "test" in a file with extension .msg.
This is certainly not a valid format. Imo, the issue is your content, not the SOAP construction.

Answered: Setting security using SOAP call

Tue, 12 Apr 2016 18:20:41 +0000

Erwin.

What you need is this:

<data operation="setaccountsecurity" account="99999002" security="271"/>

How did I trace it, well I used the DataSyncroRemote tool. The following SOAP is the result of executing the DataSynchroRemote script included below

function EfficyImportRecord(DataStore) {
  var editActi = Database.OpenEditContext(ntActi, 0);                  
  Database.CommitChanges(editActi, false);
  Database.SetUserSecurity(editActi, 99999002, 271);                           
  Database.ExecuteBatch();                                             
  var k_Action = Database.GetEditKey(editActi);
  Database.Log("K_ACTION=" + k_Action);
  Database.CloseContext(editActi);
}

Generate SOAP request by DataSynchroRemote.exe

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope" xmlns:efficy="http://www.efficy.com">
  <SOAP-ENV:Body>
    <efficy:edit entity="Acti" key="0" id="43" commit="true">
      <data operation="setaccountsecurity" account="99999002" security="271" id="44"/>
    </efficy:edit>
  </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope" xmlns:efficy="http://www.efficy.com">
  <SOAP-ENV:Body>
    <efficy:edit entity="Acti" key="0" id="45" edithandle="2" closecontext="true"/>
  </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

You can monitor soap requests and soap responses send by Efficy tools such as

DataSynchroRemote
WatchDoc
Sidebar

Opening these files on the client

%localappdata%\temp\soap_request.xml
%localappdata%\temp\soap_response.xml

Answered: Example how to use DownloadFile in Invemaco.Efficy.Net.dll

Thu, 03 Dec 2015 08:50:10 +0000

Hello Barry,

For a customer, I did something similar but I didn't use the DownloadFile.

I used instead EditAttachment which is loading the bytes into the ref variable "attach":

Database.EditAttachment(this.K_DOCUMENT, aBozarFile.K_FILE, ref attach, aBozarFile.Version);

You can have a look in our SVN :
Bozar\WebService\ws\App_Code\BozarWebDocument.cs

Function: public void loadWebFiles(EfficySession Database, string aKDocument, string aKProd)

Answered: Efficy SOAP vs. ServerScripts

Hi Tim,

There is no function type 'RunScript' via SOAP.

Why not managing your processes in your back-end of site instead of in Efficy? I thinks it is more easy and you change only the data in Efficy.

For reminder, you can find all method SOAP here : http://help.efficy.com/HelpEfficy/whitepapers/SoapProxyDotNet/EN/index.html?efficysession_class.htm

My first guess would be that you do not provide enough fields in the
<update tableview="0"> section.

I suspect one of these to be responsible for the convert to double failure.

D_RECEIVED
ATTACHMENTS
K_FOLDER

I would bet my money on K_FOLDER

Impersonating a user

Fri, 03 Jul 2015 13:24:42 +0000

Dear,

Is it possible in Efficy using the or .NET SOAP API or XML webservice messages to impersonate a user?

My client wants to create and update information in Efficy using one of both interface possibilities but he also wants that the applied changes are not all logged in sys_changed under the same user, used for executing the soap calls.
He prefers it is logged as an other user, also known in Efficy.

A possible workaround could be by working with workflow and/or database triggers but it looks cleaner to use impersonate.

Any suggestions?
