How to run multiple instance of DataSynchro (Remote) at same time ?

Mon, 19 Aug 2024 13:33:13 +0000

I recently tried out to run multiple instances of DataSynchro Remote and it seemed to work. But after several thousands of treatments of rows the two instances got into error (do not remember exactly which one).

I'd like to know:

how properly to configure DataSynchro (Remote) to run the multiple instance at the same time ? (best practice)
possibility to separate the log files for each instance ?
are there any concerns about running multiple instances (except: hardware usage, remote -> Throttling limit, record edit-handler that might be opened by one instance) ?
any other details and attention points to take into account ?

Update 20/08/2024

First attempt:

1 thread (as am importing files and some details : last modified, created date, file size -> multi thread is not an option yet)
3 folders, each one contains the source file (excel) + the .dat file + ds remote .exe
for each file (excel) an ODBC source has been created and configured in .dat file
started DSRemote one by one with a diff range in queries for each one
end result -> after few lines got into "Session timeout"

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

ODBC Questionmarks on import

Thu, 10 Oct 2019 14:45:28 +0000

Hi all,

We're trying this with an 11.2 customer: Chinese characters in odbc datasynchro There is still text being replaced by question marks (?). Propably because of some Eastern European letters. Is there a way to get these right? We tried OEM, ANSI and 65001 as characterset in the schema.ini but to no avail.

Best regards,

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,
Jeroen

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.

Insert a value in a lookup table during the datasynchro

Thu, 21 Feb 2019 16:04:53 +0000

Hello Efficy Team,

A customer have a big Excel file to import with a DataSynchro. My quesion is simple : how, with an Efficy method / function, could we insert a value in a Lookup if this value does not exist ?

Last time I had to do that, I did it with an insert in SQL :(
Not really clean.

Is there a more "efficient" way to do that ?

Thanks in advance,

Loïc

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 add an edit context into CONT_USER and COMP_USER to use the USERROLE field.

Tue, 29 May 2018 09:45:31 +0000

I need to define by a level of proximity my relations between CONT and USER or COMP and USER by using The USERROLE Field.

I try to do it into an OpenEditContextRelation2 but this context doesn't exist it return an error EntityView=''

Below a part of my dataSynchro where i try to edit relation between ntComp and ntUser.

      var Target = 11 // Cont
      var Detail = 1; // Cont_user
      var Key = K_CONTACT
      var DetailKey = 0
      if(!isEmpty(DataStore.AsString('Proxim'))){

    DetailKey = 4  // User--> K_USER 4   

    var EditHandle = Database.OpenEditContextRelation2(Target, Detail, Key, DetailKey)

     try {
     var DataSet = Database.GetMasterDataSet(EditHandle, 0)

    DataSet.Edit()

    SQL = "SELECT K_CONT_USERROLE FROM <#TABLE NAME='LK_CONT_USERROLE'> WHERE USERROLE = :Param"; 

    Database.UpdateFields(EditHandle, 0, 'USERROLE', GetLookupKeyFromQuery(SQL,     DataStore.AsString('Proximité MAN'), 'K_CONT_USERROLE') );

    Database.CommitChanges(EditHandle, false)
     }catch(e){

     Database.log(e.message)
    }
    finally
     {
    Database.CloseContext(EditHandle)
    }
}

I need of course to be able to change relation on the Edit context of each Entity. Comp and Cont.

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,
       [...], 
       Cont.CITY,
       User.FIRSTNAME, User.LASTNAME from [Contacts$] Cont
       LEFT JOIN [Users$] User
            ON Cont.ReferentFIRSTNAME = User.FIRSTNAME
            AND Cont.ReferentLASTNAME = User.LASTNAME;

I can only import data in Relation Table with DataSync Tool

Tue, 12 Dec 2017 10:55:48 +0000

Hi all!

I have an Excel file that contains a list of Contact with one column that says his Company
In Efficy Data -> Impot Table, Entity Tables do not appear, there are only Relation Tables (ActiCase, ActiComp, etc.)

Anyone can say me why pls?

Thanks a lot!

1st import script for a DataSynchro

Thu, 07 Dec 2017 15:30:13 +0000

Hi all!

I wanted to train me with scripting (import data from Excel file with Data Synchro)
Excel:
Company;External ID;COMPANY;Contact external Id;FIRSTNAME;LASTNAME
1 | COMP & CIE | 1 | BERNARD | A.
1 | COMP & CIE | 2 | BART | B.
2 | IKEA | 3 | ABDUL | C.
2 | IKEA | 4 | WORLD | D.

Objectives: insert this data in the DB, link the Contact to the Company, and link all these new entities to the same Publication

this script
I have some questions:
- Does my script respect good practices
- I have difficulties to understanding the difference between Relation (with AddLink2) and Details (with InsertDetail2). For me Detail is a "type" of relation
A Detail is the sub Entity in the selected Entity right?
- in InsertDetail2 what does the last parameter?? I don't undersand the "automatically link the contact’s main company"

Finally, DataSync Tool thorws an Exception when i run it:

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.

How to avoid session timeout for a long datasynchro remote

Fri, 09 Dec 2016 13:31:54 +0000

I have a remote datasynchro that runs a couple times a day, it contains a lot of records that need updating. The issue is that I get a session timeout before it can finish.

Is there a way to avoid this? It has to be a remote datasynchro, there's no other way.

Thanks!

How importing an blob image field from an eLink database to an Efficy database via DataSynchro

Thu, 21 Apr 2016 07:55:18 +0000

I need to update an image field into a category on Efficy provided by eLink.
By default this code doesn't work.

I tried :

  Database.ActivateCategory(EditHandle, 'DOCU$ORG')    
  var CategoryDataSet = Database.GetCategoryDataSet(EditHandle, 'DOCU$ORG')
  CategoryDataSet.Edit         
  CategoryDataSet.FieldByName('F_VISUEL').AsWideString = DataStore.AsString('F_VISUEL')
  CategoryDataSet.Save

 Database.ActivateCategory(EditHandle, 'DOCU$ORG')   
 Database.UpdateCategory(EditHandle, 'DOCU$ORG', 'F_VISUEL', DataStore.AsString('F_VISUEL'))

In all cases blob is not updating properly. File seem corrupted.
We tried to do a smartCompress but not recognize into a DataSynchro.

Any idea to transfer these BLOB ?

In both cases it's an SQL SERVER 2003 connector

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

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

[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!

Executing sql update statement to linked server

Wed, 09 Dec 2015 13:31:48 +0000

Hi all,

If you would ever need to update data that you can access through a linked server in sql server.

My example, I have a linked server over odbc to an other database.
After importing the data I have to mark the data as imported.

I tried several solutions:

Database.ExecSQL in which I provided in the sql the full path to the linked server
Database.ExecSQL with the OPENQUERY operator
Executing a stored procedure which would update the values

None of them was working.

As last option I used the Database.ExecuteODBCQuery

This one was working but it is important to include this function in a try catch statement as it will always throw an error as it is expecting a dataset back.

ExecuteODBCQuery(var QueryHandle: integer; ContextHandle:
TContextHandle; Connection, SQL: string; ForceRefresh, GetAllRecords:
boolean; StoreID: integer): TDataSet
More information on this function can be found in EDN

Code example on how to use the function:

    function executeOdbcQuery(sql, storeId, OdbcConnectionString){
  var QueryHandle = 1;
  var ODBCContext = Database.OpenTemporaryContext;
  try {
    if(sql.indexOf('select') === -1){
      Database.ExecuteODBCQuery(QueryHandle, ODBCContext, OdbcConnectionString, sql, false, false, storeId);
    }else{
      var ds = Database.ExecuteODBCQuery(QueryHandle, ODBCContext, OdbcConnectionString, sql, false, false, storeId);
      return ds;
    }
  }catch(ex){
    database.log(ex.message);
  }
}

Calling the function:

var sql = "insert update query here";
    OdbcConnectionString=INSERTODBCCONNECTIONSTRING

 executeOdbcQuery(sql,4,OdbcConnectionString)

I hope this helps someone in the future.

Kind regards,

Brosens Tom

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.

Can datasynchro proces a XML file as a source file?

Mon, 01 Jun 2015 05:27:06 +0000

Is it possible to import a xml file with Datasynchro / Datasynchro remote?
When adding a connection, xml is not in the list.
Also when looking in the ODBC32 there is no driver that can be connected to an XML file.

Are there any experiance with the import of xml files using datasynchro?

Import launched from Interface.

Does anyone has already made an import launched from the interface ?

In this case, I need to make it possible to import an Excel file with a fixed layout from the Company Entity to link contacts.

Has anyone done this before ? And how to do this in Efficy 2014 ?

Datasynchro: how to get d_created to contain de data from the import file

Mon, 11 May 2015 12:19:43 +0000

I noticed that every time I have to build a Datasynchro import, that contains a d_create timestamp from a source file/database Efficy inserts the datetime for the efficy record creation and does not use the provide datetime from the source.

I now have to do a update of the d_create trough an sql update statement.
For onetime imports thats not a big deal. For daily import this is an issue.

Is there a simple datasynchro best practice to resolve this issue to get the d_create right within the first import?

Maximum log size Datasynchro

Tue, 13 Jan 2015 11:00:16 +0000

Hi all,

Is there a maximum amount of data that can be logged for a datasynchro?

Are the oldest logs deleted when this limit is reached (if there is one)?

Thanks!
