SQL request to retrieve the complete field list from Efficy Metadata by Table

Thu, 09 Mar 2023 08:41:53 +0000

Hi,

To provide to a customer an exhaustive list of fields from some Efficy tables (to build an import file by example)

you can use this request to extract it from your DB (works until Efficy 2021 included)

declare @langId int = 12;
with [tables] as (
    select K_TABLE, NAME TABLE_NAME, K_LABEL TABLE_K_LABEL from sys_tables
    where name in (
        'COMPANIES', 
        'CONTACTS',
        'CONT_COMP',
        'ACTIONS'
    )
), fulltables as (
    select * 
    from 
        tables
    union select catTables.K_TABLE, catTables.NAME, catTables.K_LABEL
    from 
        tables 
        inner join sys_categories cat on cat.K_TABLE = tables.K_TABLE
        inner join sys_tables catTables on catTables.K_TABLE = cat.K_CATEGORY
),
fields as (
    select 
        TABLE_NAME,
TABLE_K_LABEL,
        sys_fields.NAME FIELD_NAME,
sys_fields.K_LABEL FIELD_K_LABEL,
        sys_fields.DATATYPE,
        sys_fields.DATALENGTH,
        K_LOOKUPFIELD, 
        K_LOOKUPTABLE,
        ISCUSTOM
    from 
        sys_fields
        inner join fulltables on fulltables.K_TABLE = sys_fields.K_TABLE
    where DATATYPE not in ('B')
), fullfields as (
select 
        TABLE_NAME,
TABLE_K_LABEL,
        FIELD_NAME,
FIELD_K_LABEL,
        DATATYPE,
        DATALENGTH,
        lkTables.NAME LOOKUP_NAME,
        fields.ISCUSTOM
    from 
        fields
        left join sys_tables lkTables on lkTables.K_TABLE = fields.K_LOOKUPTABLE
)
select 
TABLE_NAME,
(select LABEL from sys_labels where K_LANGUAGE = @langId and K_LABEL = TABLE_K_LABEL) TABLE_LABEL,
    FIELD_NAME,
(select LABEL from sys_labels where K_LANGUAGE = @langId and K_LABEL = FIELD_K_LABEL) FIELD_LABEL,
    DATATYPE,
    DATALENGTH,
    LOOKUP_NAME,
    ISCUSTOM

from fullfields
order by 
TABLE_NAME, FIELD_NAME

You can change the list of tables you want and change the languageId to display the wished language labels.
Fields from categories of your tables will be included.

Expected result:

Cheers

Error 12044 in openUrl2/secure/secureUtf8 when Postman call is processed correctly

Tue, 19 Jul 2022 12:25:45 +0000

Dear all,

For a customer we are developing a link with Canopy Deploy. In Postman / PowerShell (Invoke-Webrequest) the request is processed correctly.

When trying it in the application with the same headers / data at the same machine the Efficy.openUrlSecure / Utf8 is receiving a 12044 A certificate is required to complete client authentication error. In openUrl2 the same: Message: "Cannot find web server "webhook.myclang.com"
Error Code: 12044

What could be wrong?

DatasyncRemote: ERROR "RetrieveUsersList: Please Logon to Database" ?

Wed, 30 Mar 2022 15:47:45 +0000

Dear all,

I have an Issue with the DatasyncRemote at a customer, when we try to get the Efficy Object list we get the following Error :

RetrieveUsersList: Please Logon to Database

I activated the SOAP logs (generation of request and response XML files) and I see in the Response file that the connexion seems OK, it has been marked as "handle="true".

But when I check the responses of the of the Efficy Object retrieve list we get the Error :

I found the following Efficy ticket (old one, accessible only to Efficy Employee), where it says that we should remove the sessions with "." from the Efficy Admin console :
https://submariners.efficy.com/crm/view/Case/2400000792

I did it but this did not change a thing.

Remark : In the Alias Manager, the SOAP and JSON end point are allowed.

I remarked also the following Script Exception file, the following error, but that appears in the morning ... can it be that we missed a configuration on the customer serveur IIS settings ?

Does anyone have a clue what I should look for to solve this issue ?

But then impossible to find the process to find the coordinates of a specific pattern ...

If anyone has worked with this library before, I am interested in some information. Thanks in advance for help.

DbStaging : Error: ENTT-2574 Field "SENT", datatype "bit" not supported

Tue, 16 Mar 2021 09:20:24 +0000

Hello,

I upgraded a DB from 11.3 to 12.0. The upgrade worked properly but just after I used the DbStaging, it started to display an error like this :

Error : ENTT-2574 Field "SENT", datatype "bit" not supported

I already tried without checking "include custom object" and "copy isCustom fields"
but the problem is still there

I also looked at the SYS_FIELDS and it didn't find the field "*SENT*" but I found "*NSEND*" instead.

Access violation at address while using getFileStream

Wed, 13 May 2020 10:33:28 +0000

Hi,

I am trying to transform large files (FILES.KIND = 5) to embedded one.
And I am using the getFileStream as I need to assign a FILES.STREAM field which is null in case of large file.
While running Scheduler or DataSynchro I am getting more and less same error : Access violation at address 000000000083531A in module on getFileStream step.
I tried different versions (11.2, 11.3, etc.) but still getting the error.

Here is a small example of the DataSynchro import script:

function EfficyImportRecord(DataStore) {
  var k_File = DataStore.AsString('K_FILE'),
      k_Docu = DataStore.AsString('K_1'),
editDocu = Efficy.openEditContext(ntDocu, k_Docu);
  Efficy.log('KFile: ' + k_File);
  stream = Efficy.getFileStream(editDocu, DataStore);
  Efficy.log('Stream: ' + stream);
  return true;
}

Any ideas ?

Maybe we have already some examples or scripts that are doing large file to embedded , let me know.

Tnx.

datasynchro et activation workflow

Tue, 03 Mar 2020 09:21:02 +0000

Bonjour,

Lors d'une DataSynchro, si on active le workflow, le script tourne en boucle sans envoyer de message d'erreur.
Nous avons remarqué que si le code du workflow est écrit directement dans la fenêtre du designer, ce problème n'apparaît pas. Or, depuis la migration en 11.3, nous avons mis en place le workflow par un import de fichier comme conseillé dans la documentation.
Dans le designer nous avons le code suivant :
/*
@import "custom/workflow/workflow"
*/

Comment faire pour que le DataSynchro fonctionne en maintenant le système d'import de fichier du workflow ?

Merci

Function executeOdbcQuery not fetching full excel file string content

Mon, 14 Oct 2019 11:39:16 +0000

Hello,

I am currently using the function executeOdbcQuery to read and save the content
of an excel file with different fields, one of them is targeted towards company memo.

Here is an exemple of the length contained in one of those MEMO fields of the excel:

Ont 20000 logements à gérer sur 3 départements -  Recherche une solution qui permettrait de mettre en relation directement les locataires et les prestataires externes - Les prestataires sont au nombre de 100 - La solution devra permettre aux locataires de valider la prise en charge et traitement - Idem pour le locataire ce qui permet ensuite aux équipes gestion de valider le bon traitement et le paiement -  Le fait d'exploiter notre extranet et des accès desktop par les prestataires plus des règles et procédures automatisées cela parait il jouable ou vraiment trop éloigné comme je le pense  - Projet potentiel sur fin d année

But when read by the function, the code fetches only a short part of this string:

Ont 20000 logements à gérer sur 3 départements -  Recherche une solution qui permettrait de mettre en relation directement les locataires et les prestataires externes - Les prestataires sont au nombre de 100 - La solution devra permettre aux locataires de

I used the function with like this:

Efficy.executeOdbcQuery(0, tempContext, ODBC_STRING, sql, true, true, 2)

ODBC_STRING = "Provider=MSDASQL.1;Persist Security Info=False;Data Source=Excel Files;Initial Catalog=";

Is there some way to be able to read the full string in an excel file using this function?

Error 'Unknown EntityView ""' when using DataSynchro (32- or 64-bits) for Efficy 11.2

Mon, 08 Jul 2019 08:45:46 +0000

Hi,

a customer is using the DataSynchro to import records.
In Efficy 10SP2+ it did run without any problems, but they are now migrated to Efficy 11.2 and when they now use the DataSynchro to create a new import and want to select the tables they get the error 'Unknow EntityView ""'.

We didn't change anything to the structure.
How can we find out on which EntityView it's about?

Best regards,

Order of the tables for database replication

Thu, 04 Jul 2019 15:24:52 +0000

Hi,

is it possible to adjust the order in which the tables are replicated?

I'm asking this because for a customer we made a extra table to have a special history. For this we made a custom table and we now we see that this table is replicated before the Contacts table and therefor we have a foreign key constraint issue. To solve this we would like to adjust the order of the table replication.

Best regards,

Datasynchro cuts string after 510 characters

Mon, 22 Apr 2019 15:55:59 +0000

Hello,

I'm having an issue with importing a text into the memo field for the company module.
I've successfully imported a list of contacts but importing another file containing company data poses a problem.

The string in the excel file destined for the memo field is cut after 510 characters. I have tried changing the format to text, general, ... Also tried using datasynchro 32-bit and 64-bit, saving as xls and xlsx, ... Unfortunately nothing works.

I can't find why the string is cut off. Does anyone have experience with this?
Normally, i try to use the csv format but as the memo contains new lines i didn't think it was useful.

Thanks in advance.

Add Chinese characters with Datasynchro (ODBC limitation)

Tue, 02 Apr 2019 10:42:23 +0000

Hi everyone,

After some discussion we used the following to make the Chinese characters works with an ODBC driver during a Datasynchro.

First I had to transform the Chinese characters in HTML entities with a small Power Shell Script (.ps1).
custom: It takes the name of the folder without .csv and with a trailing TBE (to be encoded)

Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Web
## Import each line of the CSV file into an array of PowerShell objects
$file = $args[0]
$output = $file.Substring(0,$file.Length-3)
$records = Import-Csv -Path "$file.csv" -Delimiter ";"

## Encode each field in html entities
$records | ForEach-Object {
    foreach ($field in $_.PSObject.Properties.Name)
    {
        ##$_.$field = [System.Web.HttpUtility]::UrlDecode($_.$field)
$_.$field = [uri]::EscapeUriString($_.$field)
    }
}

## Export the array of modified objects to the CSV file
$records | Export-Csv -Path "$output.csv" -Force -notype -Delimiter ";"

## Display the object in tabular form
$records | Format-Table -AutoSize

Then decode it during the Import script with following function
" decodeURIComponent() ".
For the newer version of the datasynchro (>10sp2) the fields can be decoded directly in the start job.

And it worked !

Thanks to Alexandre and Kristof.

Export data from Efficy to sage in file xls

Tue, 26 Mar 2019 11:06:48 +0000

When exporting data from Efficy to Sage (dataSync Remote), I need to access the sage database to generate a new "no_piece", to export new documents.

I used the methods:

Efficy.executeSQLQuery (sql, params);
Efficy.executeBatch;

It tells me:

EfficyException 0 (ZEOS-2174) Invalid object name 'F_xxxxx'

Where F_xxxxx is table in sage that contains the current "no_piece"

And the "ExecuteODBCQuery" method is not a remote method.

DataSynchro and Date Format.

Mon, 17 Dec 2018 08:47:46 +0000

Hi All,

I would like to know which date format is used by DataSynchro/DataSynchroEmbedded.
- Efficy Admin Console Date Format
- Windows Date Format

I've made a few test and it seems that we need to use the windows date format but, why ?
is that true ?

If yes it seems that we need to know the windows server config, and we also need to use different code for using in datasynchro and in serverscript.

Can you confirm ?

(i'm on an Efficy 2014 6100)

How to provide custombase from DataSynchroRemote or SOAP clients

Fri, 23 Nov 2018 14:21:08 +0000

Since Efficy 11.0, import directives can be used inside database workflow to include serverjs files. When this is a custom file, it's placed in the mycustomer/serverjs folder. This requires passing on the custombase also for SOAP initiated sessions.

Passing the custombase as a property in the <efficy:logon/> node will not function.

The solution is to pass the custombase as argument to the Web request URL. E.g.

https://mycustomer.efficytest.com/crm/SOAP?custombase=mycustomer

Mon, 02 Jul 2018 16:24:23 +0000

Is there an option to generate a log or debug in the DbStaging tool for the point or field the error is thrown?

DataSync : find multiple contact per row

Mon, 18 Dec 2017 19:37:05 +0000

Hi all!

I have an Excel file with several contacts to import.
Each of them can be linked to another contact (maybe not).

Header : FIRSTNAME; NAME; [contact fields...]; managerFIRSTNAME; managerNAME

I generated the script with DataSynchro Tool and modified it, but I can not find the 2 contacts.
I want to :
- search if the contact already exists (with FIRSTNAME and NAME), insert or update him,
- search if his referent exists (with managerFIRSTNAME and managerNAME), insert or update this one
- and finally link the twice (to link them i have a field "referent" to fill and use "insertDetail2").

I checked "Use field to find existing record at import" for FIRSTNAME, NAME, managerFIRSTNAME, managerNAME
Do I have to separate them in 2 worksheets and import them like this ? :

select Cont.NAME,
       Cont.FIRSTNAME,
       Cont.COMPANY,
       Cont.EMAIL1,
       [...],

Error closing DataSynchroRemote when used with a commandline

Fri, 25 Aug 2017 10:52:34 +0000

For a customer we built a DataSynchroRemote to import data from an Excel sheet into Efficy. When performing the import within the DataSynchroRemote user interface, the import is completed without any errors.

When starting the same DataSynchro from a commandline (with the .dat-file as the commandline parameter,) the import is processed correctly, but an error occurs when the application is closed after completing:

Hello Everyone,

For one of my projects, I have to export Efficy data into a csv file using the DataSynchroRemote tool and I noticed during my tests that some special characters are not propely incoded in my csv file:

Do someone have an idea on how I could do?

DatatsynchroRemote: function Database.SetSysStorageValue not working

Fri, 07 Jul 2017 09:25:26 +0000

Hello Everyone:

I'm trying to update a value in Sys_Storage from a DatasynchroRemote using Database function "SetSysStorageValue" but I get the following error message:

Message: "Cet objet ne gère pas cette propriété ou cette méthode"

Translation: "This object doesn't support that property or method."

I know that some basic functions are not the same when using the DatasynchroRemote tool but we have no doc about this.

Do someone know how I could do this (update a Sys_Storage value) ?

Kr,

Prince

Hi all,

I don't want to believe it, but it looks as the Scheduled Workflow window is not able to display non latin characters :-/

I am dealing with japanese & chinese contacts ;-)

What is the ExecuteODBCQuery syntax in a remote dataSynchro

Thu, 15 Sep 2016 09:20:32 +0000

What is the ExecuteODBCQuery syntax in a remote dataSynchro ?

In dataSynchro, I use :

var Connection = "Provider=MSDASQL.1;Persist Security Info=False;Data Source=BOB CP";

var ds = Database.ExecuteODBCQuery(QueryHandle, Database.OpenTemporaryContext, Connection, SQL, true, true, 1);

if (ds && !ds.isEmpty) {
ds.First;
...
}

But, in dataSynchroRemote, ExecuteODBCQuery gives an error

does anybody knows which port is used for datasynchro when running from a client

Thu, 07 Apr 2016 12:35:44 +0000

Hi all,

is there a certain port, the DataSynchro communicates with the application Server during the logon?

A custom want to have the datasynchro.exe local at on a Workstation of an employee which will be responsible for importing new lead data.

Now they asked if there is a Special port to open for the communication between datasync and the application Server.

Did I understand it correctly, the datasync connects to the application Server and uses the inoformation in the alias Manager (alias.ini) to conntect to the database for importing or exporting data?

thanks in advance and best regards

From Efficy 2014 R6640 in the DBEditor there is a new tool to add compute additional indexes to speed-up list queries, also for custom entities.

Is it about Database Native Indexes? Where is it? How this is working?

Can we have more information of indexes which have been put in place to improve search performance?

add default security during data import via datasynchro

Fri, 15 Jan 2016 10:56:00 +0000

Hi all,

how to set the Default security during Import via datasyncro?

If I create a Company manually, the Default security will be set based on the configuration in conficy.

User 1 creates a record manually and the security will be set like:
ADMIN has full Access right
Group 1 has read / write rights
Group 2 has search rights
the user itself has read / write / secure rights
....

How can I get the same result when doing the Import via datasynchro?

I found a function "SetSecurityUsers" and did some tests but it seems this is not the proper function for my expected result.

Any help would be greate.

Thanks in advance and best regards

Set the record owner during datasyncro import

Wed, 13 Jan 2016 09:20:20 +0000

Hi all,

is there a function to set the owner directly during Import via datasyncro?

Have to Import companies and contacts were the security in Efficy is set based on a "user field" from the Import file.

To set the user and the security is clear and works but I did not find how to set the owner. Currently my owner is always the "efficy_admin" user, used to Access the efficy database in the data syncro module.

Any hint would be appreciated, thanks in advance and best regards

Upload users from Excell to Efficy with DataSync

Mon, 30 Nov 2015 16:13:47 +0000

Here is a script to import users from an Excel file to an Efficy database.

All users are set with the same password and added to the corresponding group

    var k_user = getLastKUser();
    function EfficyImportRecord(DataStore) {
    var sql_contactexist = "select * from acc_accounts where usercode like '"+ DataStore.AsString('USERCODE') + "'"
    var dsExist = ExecuteQuery(sql_contactexist, '');
    var role = 0;
    switch(DataStore.AsString('K_ROLE')){

        case '' : role = 1;break;
        case 'group1' : role = 2;break;
        case 'group2' : role = 3;break;
        case 'group3' : role = 4;break;
        case 'group4' : role = 5;break;
        case 'group5' : role = 6;break;
        case 'group6' : role =  7;break;
        case 'group7' : role = 8;break;
        case 'group8' : role =  9;break;

        ExecuteQuery(sql_insertcontact, '')
        ExecuteQuery(sql_insertcontacttogroup, '')

        k_user ++

    }

        QueryHandle = 0;
        if(StoreID == "") StoreID = 0;
        var testSQL = new String(SQL);
        testSQL = testSQL.toUpperCase();
        if(testSQL.indexOf("SELECT", 0)>=0){
            var ContextHandle   = Database.OpenTemporaryContext;
            return Database.ExecuteSystemSQLQuery(QueryHandle, ContextHandle, SQL, QueryParams, true, true, StoreID);
        } else {
            Database.ExecSQL(SQL,QueryParams, false);
            return true;
        }
    }
    function getLastKUser(){
          var last = "select max(k_user) as last from acc_accounts where k_user < 99999000"      
          var ds = ExecuteQuery(last, '');          
          return ds.FieldByName('last').AsFloat
    }

How to get the crypted password :

We must use conficy to generate a new password and copy the generated strings (PASSWRD, NACL) in the database for all users using this password*

DB Staging Tool 8.0.6640.0 issue + walkaround ("Database engine is not defined")

Mon, 16 Nov 2015 13:19:42 +0000

There is an issu'e with the V8.0.664.0 of the DB staging tool, when you attempt to "Generate Script" after the 2 required dumps (initial and final).
Each attempt leads to a popup displaying "Database engine is not defined".

This seems to be due to a bug, as this version of the DB Staging tool alwas save the [Database].Engine as "0" in DBStaging.ini, both when you click on "Generate script" and when you leave the utility. Due to that, your options are always overwritten.

The wakaround I found to solve that issue consist of :
1) editing manually the "DBStaging.ini" file, positioning the good value (0 for Firebird, 1 for Oracle, 2 for MS-SQL Server)
2) Set the "DBStaging.ini" as a read-only file in Windows.
3) Launch the DB Staging tool.

You will then be able to use the "Generate script", despites some popups informing you that the utility is unable to write in "DBStaging.ini".

Of course, if you have to use the utility for another database, unset the read-only property of the file, and follow the same process.

DB Staging Tool Error on Save DB as text

Thu, 08 Oct 2015 07:31:46 +0000

I directly get the following error when I've filled in the login info after choosing "Save DB as text"

Connecting to Vendis_Test
Error: ORA-00942: Tabel of view bestaat niet.

select indid, name, id from sysindexes where sysindexes.id = (select id from sysobjects where name = :TableName) and name not like 'WASys%' and status <> 2050 and indid not in (0, 255) and name not in (select name from SYSOBJECTS where (XTYPE = 'PK') and parentobj = (select id from sysobjects where name = :TableName2) and UID = (select UID from SYSOBJECTS where (NAME = 'SYS_DATABASE') and (XTYPE = 'U'))) order by indid

What can cause this ?
Am I doing something wrong ?
