Stop Com+ batch

Thu, 16 Feb 2023 07:12:54 +0000

Hi,
After importing data each night to Efficy, the server's memory occupation is full.
How is it possible to stop the Efficy Com+ component after importing data ?
Thank you

Impossible to import file without extension in task scheduler service

Wed, 27 Apr 2022 12:06:01 +0000

Hi all,

I want to import some utile files in my script runned by "task scheduler service".

/*
@import General from "dataSynchro/general";
*/

But I get this error :

Error: Cannot open file "[...]\efficy\serverjs\dataSynchro\general".
Le fichier spécifié est introuvable

If I change for this :

/*
@import General from "dataSynchro/general.js";
*/

it works. I don't understand why I couldn't use this notation while I see in the documentation that I can :
Documentation

If someone could explain me what I did wrong, it will be really appreciated :)
Thanks for your help ;)

How to use "where clause" in DoubleFinder

Wed, 16 Feb 2022 10:23:21 +0000

Hi,

what would be the correct syntax to exclude contacts from being a duplicate by filtering for a specific field in the table? In the DoublFinder Configuration is a node "Where clause" having child nodes for all entities that are searched for duplicates.

I want to prevent contacts having FTYPE = 5 in the contacts entity to be considered as a duplicate. So do i need to just insert
FTYPE != 5 like an SQL statement?

And what would be the syntax in case of multiple filters? Using and and or and using brackets? I don't find any information in the documentation concerning the "where clause". Sorry, if i just did not find it!

Best

Where are the remote datasynchro xml requests and responses stored?

Wed, 15 Dec 2021 11:53:47 +0000

Previously, I accessed the SOAP requests and responses xml in
%localappdata%\temp\soaprequest.xml
and
%localappdata%\temp\soapresponse.xml

I do NOT find them anymore, at least with Efficy 12.0, even if I checked the
"Enable SOAP resquest and response log" checkbox.

Can anybody tell me where they are located?

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")

Better way of monitoring Efficy availability?

Thu, 28 Jan 2021 16:54:57 +0000

context :
My client has a lot of web servers (22). Every server has 3 application pools avalable for users to connect. In front of it , we have a load balancer to present users with only one URL.

requirement :
I would like to have a monitoring of all of my 66 endpoints. (as complete as possible)

current solution:
currently it is solved by querying admin login page. It allows to do 2 verifications :
- if my endpoint reply with HTTP 200
- if my Efficy.dll can handle a simple request

question
Is it possible to do the check better? Have anyone done something similar with other clients ?
Is it possible/safe to expose other information - number of sessions ? memory consumed ? sanity check ?
Perhaps expose admin console as a node endpoint ?

Automate DoubleFinder.exe

Thu, 29 Oct 2020 16:10:08 +0000

How can we automate the launch of the DoubleFinder.exe ?
Not the Admin or Service but the one that can empty and refill the duplicates table

The goal is to do this every 2 weeks :
- empty the duplicate list
- launch and refill this list based on the current configration of the double finder (for contacts or companies or both)

Thanks !

and subsidiary question: why does the double finder service only send a notification to a user and not fill in this list of duplicates?

Random errors when using DataSynchro

Thu, 29 Oct 2020 12:04:58 +0000

Hello,

I am trying to migrate our Efficy 10.0 to Efficy 11.3.
The CRM part works fine, except some little issues due to the custom, but globally it's fine.

I have a more important problem trying to set up the DataSynchro. I have several DataSynchro communicating with our IBMi server. They all work fine on the old server (Efficy 10.0).

When I try to reuse the .dat already configured with DataSynchro 64 bits.exe, I am encountering a weird error, which appears in a background dialog, the message is in French :

"Défaillance irrémédiable".

Then, if I try again, I have an access violation problem on jscript9.dll...

I am totally lost, I have already used et configured DataSynchro with Efficy 11.3 between SQL Server (Efficy side) and Db2 (IMBi side) without problem for a customer...

Best regards,
Sébastien

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

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

Fri, 10 Jul 2020 12:17:22 +0000

An on-premise customer in Holland wants to use SSO.
The only documentation I can find is documentation from Efficy 10.x:
https://help.efficy.io/edn/admin/crft_10_saml2ssointegrations

Is this documentation still adequate for 11.3?
Is only following this documentation enough to make it work ? or does the customer has to subscribe to the Shibboleth service provider and if so, does this cost any money ?

Is there any "functional" documentation avaliable?

Task Scheduler Script interval

Thu, 30 Apr 2020 12:45:23 +0000

Hi all,

I want to launch a scheduled task(Efficy 11.3) every monday at 22:00 for a cloud customer.
I want to set the interval for a week (10 080 minutes) but Cloud told me that we can't config the interval for more than one day (1440 minutes). I don't have any idea about this information.

I have a solution for this inside my serverscripts.

But I want to be sure if i can configure it directly with scheduledAdmin .

Thanks in advance,
Quentin

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

Tue, 18 Feb 2020 16:03:37 +0000

Efficy core processes (Efficy.dll, EfficyServer.dll) and Windows Services (MailDispatch, ExchangeSync...) have a rolling log file in place. The log files are cleaned up after 14 days.

What we notice is that only recent log files are cleaned up, but not older log files, e.g. from months ago.

What are the parameters for the log files selection to be cleaned up?

Doublefinder service configuration settings

Thu, 26 Dec 2019 14:20:21 +0000

Hello,

I'm having difficulty to configure the doublefinder service for a client in an 11.3 environment.

Where are the settings stored? I was told they aren't stored in an .ini file anymore but in SYS_SETTINGS under SVC_DoubleFinder.

However, i can't seem to find the settings (no SVCDoubleFinder in SYSSETTINGS). And when i try to edit the configuration nothing gets saved.

The only reference i find is in ServerSettings.json, under services, but there is only 1 parameter (pollingInterval, wich gets saved correctly when changed).

Please advise.

Thank you,
Ken

[Remote API - Javascript] Problem with the CORS policy

Wed, 27 Nov 2019 14:28:51 +0000

Hello ereryone,
I created an Efficy query to retrieve active events or profiles. They must be processed in an external HTML page. The event reception tests are conclusive in the Postman software.

Unfortunately in Javascript, I receive the following message:
Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://labcrm.brrc.be/crm/json' from origin 'http://cms_test.brrc.be' has been blocked by CORS policy: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

Here the Javascript code:

const uri = 'https://xxxx.brrc.be/crm/json';
var settings = {
  "async": true,
  "crossDomain": true,
  "url": "https://xxxx.brrc.be/crm/json",
  "method": "POST",
  "headers": {
"Access-Control-Allow-Origin": '*',
"Access-Control-Allow-Credentials": 'true',
    "X-Efficy-Customer": "CRR",
    "X-Efficy-ApiKey": "",
"X-Efficy-Logoff": "false",
"X-Efficy-Lang": "EN",
"Cache-Control": "no-cache",
    "X_CLIENT_APP": "CRR",
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Accept": "application/json"
  },
  "processData": false,
  "data": "[\r\n\t{\r\n\t\t\"@name\": \"api\",\r\n\t\t\"@func\": [\r\n\t\t\t{\r\n\t\t\t\t\"@name\":\"query\",\r\n\t\t\t\t\"key\":\"4102\"\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t]\r\n\t}\r\n]"
}
$.ajax(settings).done(function (response) {
  console.log(response);
});

Still, I added the following headers:

"Access-Control-Allow-Origin": 'http://xxxx.brrc.be' or '*',
"Access-Control-Allow-Credentials": 'true'

From what I understand, these instructions are placed server side so I do not understand what I have to write.

Would you have an idea for me?
In advance, I thank you.
Best regards,
Bruno

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

Wed, 03 Apr 2019 07:25:41 +0000

HI all,

I just found out that quite a bunch of emails got stuck in SYS_MAILS, because of a recipient that has no email address. The efficy mail dispatcher had to wait until those emails got deleted...

Those emails were created by the DoubleFinder.
Here is the question: How does the DoubleFinder determine the recipient and can I change this behaviour?

Thank you

Import JQuery into Task Scheduler Script

Mon, 04 Mar 2019 10:16:47 +0000

Dear all,

is there a way to I import JQuery into a task scheduler script ?

My issue is :

I would like to parse XML files with JQuery.

In the task scheduler header, I tried :

/*
@import "ecma";
@import "../../lib/js/jquery/jquery";
*/

But i got an error message :

"Unable to get property 'createElement' of undefined or null
reference"

Corresponding code line in jquery.js :

var div = document.createElement("div");

The document is undefined, because there is no document in this case.

So, is it impossible to import JQuery in task scheduler ?

How can we use Exchange synchro service through a Proxy

Fri, 30 Nov 2018 14:08:27 +0000

Hi all,

Our customer "Forem" is actually using the Office 365 Exchange synchro and have error because they use a proxy server to filter all internet connection.

The workaround is to put a rules in the proxy to authorise the exchange synchro server to go out on the internet, but they want to disabled this rules.

Which config can we do to force using a proxy with efficy services ?

Regards

Classic ExchangeSyncService and SYNCPROFILE table

Tue, 27 Nov 2018 10:14:24 +0000

Is it possible to use the SYNCPROFILE table configurations - typically defined in Designer - in the classical ExchangeSyncService.exe Windows Service? It concerns Efficy 11.0

Or are these DB configurations only used by the ExchangeQueueSync?

Meaning of Parameter ConnectionHistory in ACC_OPTIONS, [CONNECT]

Mon, 16 Apr 2018 11:10:32 +0000

ConnectionHistory has a set of 128 boolean value. Does it indicate if a user connected the last 128 previous days? How can we edit this info?

For instance
[CONNECT]
LastConnectionDate=2018/04/16
ConnectionHistory=10011100000001010011110001111001110111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

For Efficy Logon Events, is Kristof's answer still up to date in Efficy10? Is there any existing implementation of this?

custom IP filter for upgrade to SP2

Thu, 02 Mar 2017 10:37:52 +0000

Hi there,

Our Customer ”Kien Onderzoek” uses a IP filter, which is still a requirement, on our “legacy” server here in The Netherlands at Efficy. (http://kien.efficy-online.nl)
They would like to upgrade to our latest Efficy version and during the impact fase our developers noticed this comment under (Customer/Techinfo).

Can we have an IP Filter on the Cloud for this customer so they will be able to upgrade to Efficy 10th SP2?

Thanks in advance for your swift response,

How to prevent MailDispatcher from deleting SYS_MAILS

Is it possible to prevent the MailDispatch from deleting emails in the SYS_MAILS after sending them?

Required conditions for a mail to be sent from SYS_MAILS

Tue, 02 Aug 2016 09:14:42 +0000

In the SYS_MAILS table, some emails are kept, other are sent.

There a a few colums (KIND, SHOWN, MAILREAD, ...) that i assume are used to determine if the mail needs to be sent or not.

What are the conditions for emails to be sent?

Thanks !

How to match recurring appointments from Exchange in Efficy?

Thu, 12 May 2016 06:48:25 +0000

If enabled in the Exchange synchronisation, every recurrent appoinment created in your Exchange calendar will become a separated action in Efficy. Because the origin in not Efficy, the typical recurrence fields in the ACTIONS table (recurdef, k_recurparent) are empty.

How can we map related recurring items?

Is it doing updates in MS Exchange or only in our Efficy database (synchro table)?

Efficy 2014 (6640): Synchro MS Exchange -> Efficy

Thu, 07 Jan 2016 08:27:43 +0000

Dear,

When syncing from Outlook to Efficy, a meeting with multiple invitees is created as many times as there are invitees. For each invitee a separate record is created in the actions table.

The invitees are only linked as contacts and not as users. Even if all invitees are known as users in Efficy.
Each user has a linked action record in his agenda. When moving your appointment (in Efficy) to a different timeslot, it is not moved for the other invitees.

Is there a way to change this behaviour?

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

Fri, 11 Dec 2015 10:48:37 +0000

Hi all,

I am trying to import some company records from Excel sheet through the DataSync tool.
Everything is working fine except I am not able to set DCREATE / DCHANGE fields.
The column 'Date Created' in Excel consists of string using the following format "2008-02-26 04:29:00.000"

I am using this code inside EfficyImportRecord:

DataSet.FieldByName('D_CREATE').AsString = DataStore.AsString('Date Created')

And getting the following error message in VisualStudio Debugger:

An unhandled exception ('"2008-02-26 04:29:00.000" is not a valid date and time') occured in DataSynchro.exe [832].

in the log I see:

Error while executing Script "EConvertError" at line 37 char 5.
Message: "''2008-02-26 04:29:00.000'' is not a valid date and time"

Can anybody provide me with a correct snippet to set the dates (and any other datetime field)?

Thanks!

Watchdoc - soap_request.xml becomes huge

Wed, 09 Sep 2015 10:53:06 +0000

Hello,

Be aware that the WatchDoc can crash any server if a file that needs to be uploaded to Efficy is bigger than the IIS "Maximum allowed content length" (default : 28.61 Mb).

Here is the problem :

1/ When a scan/Fax is made, it goes to a specific folder
2/ The watchdoc service is watching this folder, and every time a document comes in, it upload it to Efficy (using SOAP) and then move this document to an ‘uploaded’ folder.
3/ By default, IIS is configured to accept request with a maximum of 30000000 bytes (= 28.61 Megabytes).
4/ If the document is heavier than 28.61 Megabytes, the Watchdoc fail to upload it to Efficy, and log the request (which contain the document that has been base64 encoded) in soap_request.xml.
5/ This file is growing every time the WatchDoc is launched, and for one customer it has reached 130GB !

The solution is very simple : increase the “Maximum allowed content length” in IIS. To do so :

1/ Open IIS
2/ Click on the website that is running Efficy
3/ Click on the icon “Request Filtering”
4/ On the right panel, click on “Edit Feature Settings…”
5/ Increase the “Maximum allowed content length” value (for instance, setting it to 209715200 will allow files up to 200mo to be uploaded).

Experience with scheduled import+update from BOB invoices to Efficy

Tue, 01 Sep 2015 17:33:59 +0000

Dear all,
As we prefer not re-inventing the wheel, I ask the following question :

Has someone already written an import script for a one-way import+update of BOB invoices, with product lines ? (based on an export from Bob in csv or excel)

Thanks a lot,
Jappe.
