I think it is not possible, I know that with IIS you can set a Application Pool recycling, which will normally refresh the IIS memory for your website.

The real question is why the memory occupation is full?

What are the fields SHOWN and MAILREAD for in SYS_MAILS ?

Fri, 12 Feb 2021 09:08:58 +0000

Hi,

My question would be similar to the existing tread:
https://overflow.efficy.io/?qa=1797/required-conditions-for-a-mail-to-be-sent-from-sysmails

But I also would like to know what do the SHOWN and MAILREAD stand for in SYS_MAILS table. Are they used somehow ?

Some details about the client emails in SYS_MAILS:

the K_USER has email defined in designer except of Administrator
the MAILFROM and MAILTO fields are field
Mail Dispatcher doesn't find emails but the SYS_MAILS table has about 425 mails stored
the SYS_MAILS.KIND field for remaining emails is 5
all remaining email have 1 in SHOWN field
some of the remaining emails have 0 or 1 in MAILREAD field

Update 1:

I've tried to play around with email fields.

Case 1 :

when email is first generated it has : KIND = 5, SHOWN = 1 MAILREAD=1.
the ADMIN (K_USER) has no email defined.
=> Mail not found in Mail Dispatch

Case 2:

if I change KIND = 0
the ADMIN (K_USER) has no email defined.
Mail Dispatch :
Mails Found: 1
[2021/02/12 11:33:52.107] Skipped (user 2): "Email subject"
[2021/02/12 11:33:52.107] ...0 Mails Sent

Case 3:

KIND = 0
define email for ADMIN (designer > Users)
Mail Dispatch:
Mails Found: 1
[2021/02/12 11:56:01.909] --> someemail: "Email subject"
[2021/02/12 11:56:01.925] ...1 Mails Sent
Result: I've never received the email though. Maybe SMTP server related.

Case 4:

admin email defined
new email created
=> still KIND = 5, SHOWN = 1 and MAILREAD = 1
Mail Dispatch :
No mails found

If I understand right :

if KIND = 5 Mail
- Dispatch ignores email from SYS_MAILS
if KIND = 0 but K_USER has no email defined
- email found but not send as email is not provided

So my question would be:

How Efficy.sendExternalMail assigns the field KIND, SHOWN, MAILREAD ? What is the logic behind ? Why some emails have KIND= 0 and another one KIND = 5 ?

Update 2:

I forgot to mention that the checkbox "Send external mails created from workflow" hasn't been checked. After checking it the Mail Dispatch was able to get the emails with KIND = 5.

K_USER has no email
KIND = 5
Mail Dispatcher : find emails and send them (but in case of the client I've got error : "Unable to relay for EMAILSAMPLE")

Answered: Better way of monitoring Efficy availability?

Wed, 10 Feb 2021 08:27:41 +0000

The better approach (for now) is to sequence a series of http calls to the admin console, that way you can retrieve some information provided from the Admin Console.
It is currently hard to foreseen the implementation of node endpoints because such information is currently available in a context with no serverjs context (different authentication scheme, different cookies etc…).

Efficy 11.3 not using proxy server

Thu, 15 Oct 2020 16:08:33 +0000

Hi all,

we are upgrading from 10 to 11.3

The system needs to query some external webservices.
The network requires the usage of a proxy server.
The COM+ Server runs as a lokal admin user that has the proxy set.
I logged into the server using the COM+ user credentials, set the proxy and I can surf / reach the internet - no problem.

The COM+ service cannot. here is the error message:

ErrorContext

EEfficyException 0
(LIBS-1690) Cannot find web server "maps.googleapis.com"
Error Code: 12029

I am pretty clueless any hint highly appreciated!

Thank you

Answered: Single Sign On (SSO) on-premise functional and documentation

Wed, 15 Jul 2020 06:20:52 +0000

Hi Jan.

I mailed you instructions to enable on-premise SSO with Active Directory.
It's not that easy to configure it because it requires IIS configurations, web.config etc.

Compared to configuring Azure AD SSO, it's difficult.
If Azure AD is an option, go for that solution!

Answered: How does the rolling log files algorithm of Efficy service works?

Thu, 27 Feb 2020 14:58:54 +0000

There are two types of log used in Efficy, a continuous one and a daily one.
Both have a size reducing method.
For the continuous log, the file is shrinked when its size becomes too large (> 4 MB).
For the daily log, the three files older than two weeks are deleted if they exist (D-15, D-16 & D-17).
In a continuous usage, there should be no older files, thus by design if there are some then they must be cleaned manually.

Answered: "Duplicate(s) found" notification stuck in SYS_MAILS - how to change recipient

Thu, 16 May 2019 08:31:43 +0000

Hi Tim,

It will use the user's email address.
This address is defined in the Efficy Designer's users configuration.

Please make sure all you users have an email address defined.
The best is even to link the Efficy contact to the user (from Efficy Designer), so Efficy can match when saving an email, converting an email into an action, and so on ..

Yours sincerely,

Yannick

Answered: Import JQuery into Task Scheduler Script

Mon, 04 Mar 2019 10:24:44 +0000

The server side JS used by Efficy - JScript - is not identical to the client side variant that you have in the browser. The variables document and window for instance are not available. JQuery, a typical client side framework will not work because of that.

For some libs, a server-side version exists. Maybe it exists for jQuery, but I'm not sure

Answered: Efficy logging

Tue, 17 Apr 2018 11:13:33 +0000

To sort the active user accounts based on the last logon date, the following query can be used on a SQL Server database.

select u.K_USER, u.FULLNAME,
Convert(datetime, SUBSTRING(opt.PARAMETERS, PATINDEX('%LastConnectionDate=%', opt.PARAMETERS) + 19, 10), 111) as LAST_CONNECT 
from ACC_ACCOUNTS u
inner join ACC_OPTIONS opt on u.K_USER = opt.K_USER 
where u.KIND='0' and ISACTIVE='1'
order by LAST_CONNECT

It will return a list like this:

Answered: Meaning of Parameter ConnectionHistory in ACC_OPTIONS, [CONNECT]

Mon, 16 Apr 2018 15:13:18 +0000

Every single digit in ConnectionHistory surely doesn't indicate a single day. Efficy will not update anything to the session parameters if there is no session created. I have absolutely no idea what the value is...

If you need to you when the user logged on, the design of the solution was explained in the post. You don't need to understand or manipulate ConnectionHistory

Answered: Required conditions for a mail to be sent from SYS_MAILS

Fri, 21 Oct 2016 08:46:59 +0000

Hi,
I give the answer which suited to my case, because I had a lot of mails "ready to be send" but keeped in the SYS_MAILS table !!

The first problem: there was a serverscript which send mail without to check if a recipient is given... So, the SYS_MAILS table was filled gradually with mails that could not be sent !

Second point: in the "Mail Dispath Admin", there is a parameter "Maximum number of Mails sent par run" which is 50 by default...

So, if you had more than 50 invalids old mails in your table, your valid mails will never be send, or not before the "Delete unsent mails after (in days)" delays, which is by default 90 days...

Hi Kevin,
I don't think so overwise it will send them again and again and again.
Once sent it delete them.

Answered: Sys_changed replication on child database

Tue, 31 May 2016 17:56:24 +0000

I remember that SYS_CHANGED was indeed was explicitly ignored in the replication for multiple reasons:

Reduce disk space of the nomad database. SysChanged will typically contain millions of records after a while
Transfer speed: the more record, the longer it will take to sync
Security risk: when a non-full synchro model is selected, only relevant data for the user is tranfered. Syschanged could contain sensitive data and accessing a non encrypted local database is not really that difficult

I checked the system tables and my old mails. Sadly for your customer, but I do not find a setting to enable it.

Answered: Double finder

Mon, 02 May 2016 18:28:18 +0000

Based on the filtered list of fields to select from in the Double Finder, I also conclude that Efficy excludes fields bounded to a lookup (like Country) and date fields like Birthday.

I know it's not the same, but you could try to do it with custom it two ways:

Simple: Make an SQL query to search the possible doubles, or provide it as a widget
Scheduled workflow that generates a duplicate record based on a your custom queries

Why would you want to check on legal kind anyway?

Answered: [Efficy2014/DataSync]: Setting D_CREATE and D_CHANGE from EfficyImportRecord

Sun, 13 Dec 2015 14:05:31 +0000

If you provide the date as string parameter, you have to format the date like it's configured in the registry. The following keys apply to the date format and are default. So the first issue seems to be the "-" instead of "/" as separator.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\DSoft\Efficy\Web]
"DateSeparator"="/"
"LongDateFormat"="dddd d mmmm yyyy"
"LongTimeFormat"="hh:mm"
"ShortDateFormat"="dd/mm/yy"
"ShortTimeFormat"="hh:mm"

You can use the Delphi StrToDateTime function to cast from String to float.
You can use the Delphi FormatDateTime function to do the opposite.

I prefer working with float datatype:

DataSet.FieldByName('D_CREATE').asFloat = StrToDateTime('13/12/2015')

Note that you will have to first commit the record before changing the D_CREATE, and then commit again. Else Efficy will use today!
