How to delete all detail attachements/files contains in an Efficy Document where some of the files have revision?

Fri, 06 Jan 2023 09:34:39 +0000

Does anyone knows how to delete all files in a document with ServerJS when some of the files have revision ?

I tried the following code, but then I have an endless loop since several files have the same key but a different revision number !

dsFile = Efficy.getDetailDataSet(docuContext, ntFile);
dsFile.first();
while (!dsFile.eof) {
Efficy.deleteDetail(docuContext, ntFile, dsFile.fieldByName('K_FILE').asFloat);
}

PS : I remarked that the same code has been used in Efficy 2021 for the invoicing module (cf function deleteDetails in serverjs\invoicing\invoicing.js) ... So the issue I encountered may also be a standard issue

problem occurs when deleting a relation link (Prod_Case)

Thu, 07 Jul 2022 15:44:22 +0000

Hello,

I have a problem when I'm trying to delete the relation PROD-CASE :

In the function deleteRelation, the detailKey return keyProd-KRelation

It displays this error :

There is a custom that has been added in the field (K_RELATION)

Which tables I need to check to make the delete relation works ?

Get only what's change during the edit context

Tue, 12 Mar 2019 07:49:17 +0000

Hello Efficy Team,

I got a complex process where I need to do something with the "new element" of a detailDataSet, or the deleted elements of the detailDataSet during the edit context.

What is the best way retrieve only those element ?

Here is what I did :

    var k_project = Efficy.getEditKey(editHandle);
var relationTable = Efficy.entityCatalog.getRelationEntityTableName(ntProj, TEntityHandle);
var kElement = Efficy.entityCatalog.keyFieldName(TEntityHandle);

var dsDetails = Efficy.sqlQueryDataSet('select * from ' + relationTable + ' where k_project = :param1', k_project, 45);
var newDetails = Efficy.getDetailDataSet(editHandle, TEntityHandle);

var changesInTheEditContext = [];

if(dsDetails || !dsDetails.isEmpty()) {

    // the project is already committed. We need to get only the "new" one
    // for that, we filter the "new one" based on the "old one"

    var existing = [];
    dsDetails.first();
    while (!dsDetails.eof()) {
        existing.push(dsDetails.fieldByName(kElement).asFloat);
        dsDetails.next();
    }

    // ho yeah it is ugly. But seems that "not in ()" does not work
    newDetails.filter = kElement +' <> ' + existing.join(' AND ' +  kElement +  ' <> ');
    newDetails.FilterOptions = existing.length;
    newDetails.Filtered = true;

}

// then we get, for each "new one", useful information's : entity, key, name

if(newDetails.isEmpty() || !newDetails) return false;
newDetails.first();

while(!newDetails.eof()) {

    changesInTheEditContext.push({
        entity : Efficy.entityCatalog.getEntityName(TEntityHandle),
        key : newDetails.fieldByName(kElement).asFloat,
        name : getName(newDetails.fieldByName(kElement).asFloat, TEntityHandle),
        operation : 'add'
    })

    newDetails.next();
}

newDetails.Filtered = false;

// we also need to detect the opposite : a contact deleted during the edit context
// we use the same ticks, but in the opposite (current detailDataSet filter the SQL)

if(dsDetails || !dsDetails.isEmpty()) {

    var fromRelationTable = [];

    newDetails.first();
    while (!newDetails.eof()) {

        fromRelationTable.push(newDetails.fieldByName(kElement).asFloat);
        newDetails.next();

    }

    // ho yeah it is ugly. But seems that "not in ()" does not work
    dsDetails.filter = kElement +' <> ' + fromRelationTable.join(' AND ' +  kElement +  ' <> ');
    dsDetails.FilterOptions = fromRelationTable.length;
    dsDetails.Filtered = true;

    if(dsDetails.isEmpty() || !dsDetails) return false;
    dsDetails.first();

    while(!dsDetails.eof()) {

        changesInTheEditContext.push({
            entity : Efficy.entityCatalog.getEntityName(TEntityHandle),
            key : dsDetails.fieldByName(kElement).asFloat,
            // name : getName(newDetails.fieldByName(kElement).asFloat, TEntityHandle), -- we don't need the name, he's already displayed
            operation : 'delete'
        })

        dsDetails.next();
    }

    dsDetails.Filtered = true;

}

return changesInTheEditContext;

Is there, by any chance, a way to get those change in a more "Efficy way" than comparing two dataSet ?

mass delete based on query results

Thu, 13 Oct 2016 08:41:45 +0000

In efficy you can do mass-updates but I'm looking for the way to do a mass-delete based on a query. Does anyone know how/where this can be done?
e.g. I would like to delete all deceased contacts at once ;-)

How to delete Attachments/FILE via SOAP

Mon, 25 Jan 2016 17:26:10 +0000

Hi there,

I'm trying to delete a file (attachment) via SOAP.

When executing the following SOAP request:

<efficy:api>
    <data id="0" operation="delete" entity="FILE" keys="123"/>
</efficy:api>

I get the following "answer":

<SOAP-ENV:Fault>
    <faultcode>Exception</faultcode>
    <faultstring>Invalid Entity for Delete</faultstring>
    <faultid/>
</SOAP-ENV:Fault>

I also tried entity="2", same effect. When logging in as the user i use to perform the SOAP request, i am able to delete the attachment without a problem. So, how can I delete a FILE entry?

Thanks in advance,
Stefan

Synchronization Exchange Queue ( Validation process)

Fri, 27 Mar 2015 13:23:35 +0000

How does the validation process works with the new sync exchange queue ?

What especially interest me is deletion of appointments.

Here is the case :

A user have an appointment in Exchange. Only he is linked to it.
Appointment goes to Efficy.
Workflow is activated for sync exchange. Workflow adds another user to this appointment.
User deletes appointment in Outlook.

=> Will Synch send appointment back to Outlook ?
What are the boundaries (timestemps/configurations) that determine if appointment will be sent to outlook? dchange ? dcreate ?
