OpenUrlSecure timeout

Tue, 26 May 2020 08:39:03 +0000

Hi,
I use the openUrlSecure and like in edn, I try to add a timeOut integer but the response is always the same, the error below:
Message: ""TCoreSessionScriptAPI.OpenURLSecure" called with incorrect number of arguments (8)"
the efficy version is 11.3.21086.0 2020-05-04
If i remove the last param (timeout) is working.
But for this client i need a timeout in case of the service is down to display a message.
ex: var response = Efficy.openUrlSecure(url, soap envelope, header, '', '', '', '', 5000)

Unable to launch custom page from workflow

Tue, 05 Nov 2019 13:13:22 +0000

Hello,

After an upgrade from 10SP2 to 11.2, i am experiencing issues with the workflow of a client.

Triggered by BeforeCommitCont, the following command was to be executed : UserSession.ExecuteCommand("displayCustomActions('{0}', '{1}', '{2}', '{3}');".format(entity, key, (addrChangeInfo) ? JSON.stringify(addrChangeInfo) : null, true)))

Since the upgrade, this doesn't seem to work. We are still able to use this functionality to trigger an alert, but launching a function defined in custom.js doesn't seem to work anymore.

This function is used to launch an custom page that shows possible links based on the addrChangeInfo parameter. There is quite a lot of functionality behind this to populate this parameter and also to determine if the pop-up should be showed. So the fastest way to resolve this would be to keep the current functionality (by making custom.js available again in the workflow?).

If that isn't possible, what scenario could be used to copy this behavior? I tried with storing the addrChangeInfo in the database and to launch the function in front-end, but i am unable to trigger this between BeforeCommit and AfterCommit.

Any ideas on how to solve this? Any other examples that you know of?
Let me know if you need more information.

Regards,
Ken

launch template from Publ or Prof Consult! Efficy 11.2

Wed, 09 Oct 2019 09:25:57 +0000

Hello,

I want to launch a template threw a consult commande From Publications Consult page, i've created this function to take the directly the template key in parameters:

const launchTemplateFromConsult = (template) => {
var extraParam = format('template=$0&Key={key}&{entity}= 
                {key}&copydetail={entity};{key};Comp;Cont,Proj;Oppo', template);
EditNewWithScript2('Docu', extraParam, 'serverscripts/Create', 
                'CreateInstantDoc');
};

My problem is that when the document is created the copy detail function does not work properly like (contacts or companies are not copied), i don't know if there is some thing missing

I've also add this 2 lines in the Create.js in the CreateInstantDoc function to copy the details that i need,

var Publ = Efficy.getMainDetail(DocuContext, ntPubl)
Efficy.copyDetails2(DocuContext, ntPubl, Publ, [ntComp, ntCont, ntProj, ntOppo], false, false)

but the function steel not working.

Could you help me please?

Thanks

Efficy 11: Different ways to call a serverside script (which is the best one)

Thu, 25 Apr 2019 14:11:07 +0000

Hi guys,

We can call a serverscript in multiple ways (and we can find both in the standard).
For now (Efficy 11.2), and for the futur, Is there a way better than the others ? Is there a depracate way ?

Utils.runServerJsAjax
Utils.runScriptAjax2
$.ajax({
url: ...,
method: ...,
data: ...
}).done(function (html) {
...
});

Import html template from file in serverscript

Fri, 11 Jan 2019 22:18:33 +0000

Hi,

After speak with the Efficy support, I have to use a serverscript to generate html.
This serverscript will be call in a macro with a RunScript.

I prefer not to put so many html directly in the serverscript, I find that it is not a "good practice" and make the script less readable..
Is there a way to import html from a page in server script with Efficy 10.2 ?

Example :
serverscripts/Example.js

/* function called by <%RunScript(...)%> */
function GetCustomHtmlTable() {
  var EditHandle = Request.ContextHandle,
      HtmlTemplate = "IMPORT HTML FROM HTML FILE ? like pages/grid/HtmlTemplate.htm ?"

  /* some code to get the rights values */
  var name = Database.GetFieldValue(EditHandle, 'NAME'), // in this example : 'My custom header'
      description = 'some text',
      otherData = 'otherData...'

  /* Generate html and return it */
  return ParseTemplate(HtmlTemplate, name, description, otherData);
}

/* this function replace each %s in the template by the others params value in args */
function ParseTemplate(template) {
  var args = [].slice.call(arguments, 1),
      i = 0;

  return template.replace(/%s/g, function() {
      return args[i++];
  });
}

HtmlTemplate.htm

<div class="CustomClasses">
  <div class="header">%s</div>
  <div class="body">%s</div>
  <div class="footer">%s</div>
</div>

This will return :

<div class="CustomClasses">
  <div class="header">My custom header</div>
  <div class="body">some text</div>
  <div class="footer">otherData...</div>
</div>

OpenUrlSecure How can I get the response body when not success

Tue, 11 Dec 2018 10:59:58 +0000

Hi,

apparently, the response.body of a openUrlSecure call is empty when the success != true.
is that a feature or an anomaly?

It seems that the body is well filled when success = true;

point is the api i am requesting send me an error message in the body (checked it with postman)

Do I have a way to workaround this?

Visual Studio 2017 / Just In Time Debugger is not being launched

Mon, 08 Oct 2018 12:00:23 +0000

My just in time debugger isn't launching anymore...

I tried:

debugger;

And:

throw new Error("Testing");

In the workflow / serverscript but none of those trigger the Visual Studio debugger.

What could be the cause?

How to use filter

Tue, 02 Oct 2018 16:03:26 +0000

Hi all,

With ConsultDetail I get the Documents of an Opportunity, but I want to filter this dataset on quotes : a quote have a REFERENCE that start by 'D'.

The EDN say that TDataSet.Filter is "The text of the current SQL filter for the dataset." so I try to filter my dataset with REFERENCE LIKE 'D%' but Efficy throw me this error :

ID: WKFL-2142
Message: Error while executing Script "OppoConvertToProj" at line 52 char 13.
Message: "L'URI à décoder contient un caractère incorrect"

After some tests I know that the error is thorwn by the % . I tried to fix it in the "CleanFilter" (replace % by %) but I have the same error.

Is it possible to filter a dataset with a like ?

Here is my filter (first recordCount is correct, the second is empty)

// copy links to quote ==> CUSTOM : Create new Document (ORDER)
var OppoDocuDS = Database.ConsultDetail(QueryHandle, OppoContext, OppoKey, ntDocu, true, true, 0);
Logger.Write('OppoDocuDS.recordCount1='+OppoDocuDS.recordCount);
Logger.Write('OppoDocuDS.IsEmpty1='+OppoDocuDS.IsEmpty);

// filter dataset on quote
var Filter = "REFERENCE LIKE 'D%'";
var CleanFilter = decodeURIComponent(Filter).replace(/=/gi, "=").replace(/</gi, "<").replace(/>/gi, ">").replace(/&#37;/gi, "%")
OppoDocuDS.Filtered = false
if (CleanFilter != "") {
    OppoDocuDS.Filter = CleanFilter
    OppoDocuDS.FilterOptions = 1
    OppoDocuDS.Filtered = true
}

Logger.Write('OppoDocuDS.recordCount2='+OppoDocuDS.recordCount);
Logger.Write('OppoDocuDS.IsEmpty2='+OppoDocuDS.IsEmpty);

Line break in script for an email template

Thu, 13 Sep 2018 15:39:34 +0000

Hello,

someone knows how to make a line break in a script for the running of a runscript for an email template.

I want to replace the splash in this function with a line break

var nature = " ";
    var entyDS = Efficy.GetMasterDataSet(ContextHandle, 0);
    if(!entyDS || entyDS.IsEmpty) return "$$ENCODE$$" + nature;
    entyDS.first();
    while(!entyDS.EOF) {
        if(entyDS.FieldByName("F_STATUT").asFloat)
            nature = entyDS.fieldByName("R_F_NATURE_NIVEAU_1").asString+' / '+entyDS.fieldByName("R_F_NATURE_NIVEAU_2").asString+' / '+entyDS.fieldByName("R_F_NATURE_NIVEAU_3").asString;
        entyDS.next();
    }
    return nature;

I thank you in advance,

Sincerely, Jean.

Log an estimated remaining time for tasks (scheduler)

Wed, 22 Aug 2018 09:48:41 +0000

Hi,

I begin to abandon the use of datasync since I can provide a definitly better job by doing scheduled tasks

I ve made a tool that allow you to log an estimated remaining time for the different tasks you will have to run. Fun fact this would probably work in a datasync as well^^.

this is an exemple of how you can use it :

var dataToWorkOn = new Array();
//-----(Fill your array with Sql, file reading, inputStream, ...)

var chrono = new NL_chrono();

for (var i=0; i<dataToWorkOn.length; i++){
    //-----(do your job here)

    chrono.lap();    //-----(add a new time flag in your chrono)
    log(format("$0/$1 done. Estimated lasting time: $2", i+1, dataToWorkOn.length, chrono.forecast(dataToWorkOn.length)));
}

chrono.reset(); //-----(if you want to reuse chrono)

the log output will look like something like that :

-> 45 / 12598 done. Estimated lasting time: 1d 13h 12min 23s
-> 46 / 12598 done. Estimated lasting time: 1d 13h 11min 19s
-> 47 / 12598 done. Estimated lasting time: 1d 13h 10min 13s

the forecast function will automatically calculate the remaining time depending of the total number of laps and the already achieved laps.

You can of course use chrono for different purpose.
This is the code to use it:

    function NL_chrono(){
    this.start = new Date();
    this.laps = new Array();

    NL_chrono.prototype.stringify = function(){
        return "not yet";
    }

    NL_chrono.prototype.reset = function(){
        this.start = new Date();
        this.laps = new Array();
    }

    NL_chrono.prototype.lap = function(){
        var laptime = new Date();
        var lasttime = this.start;
        if (this.laps.length > 0) lasttime = this.laps[this.laps.length -1].date;

        this.laps.push({
            date: laptime,
            laptime: laptime.getTime() - lasttime.getTime(),
            time: laptime.getTime() - this.start.getTime()
        });

        return this.laps[this.laps.length -1];
    }

    NL_chrono.prototype.forecast = function(_lap, _unit){
        if(this.laps.length === 0 || _lap < this.laps.length) return;

        var result = (_lap / this.laps.length -1) * this.laps[this.laps.length -1].time;

        switch (_unit){
            case "d": result = result / (1000 * 3600 * 24); break;
            case "h": result = result / (1000 * 3600); break;
            case "m": result = result / (1000 * 60); break;
            case "s": result = result / 1000; break;
            case "ms": break;
            default: 
                result = getTimeText(result);
                break;
        }

        return result;
    }

    NL_chrono.prototype.showStats = function(_options){
        _options = _options || {};

        var result = new Array();
        _options.maxwidth = _options["maxwidth"] || 60;

        var maxLapTime = this.laps[0].laptime;
        this.laps.map(function(_item){if (_item.laptime > maxLapTime) maxLapTime = _item.laptime;});

        var temp = "";
        for (var i=0; i<_options.maxwidth +28; i++) temp += "_";
        result.push(temp);

        result.push(format("Lap time evolution | max = $0 | total = $1 |", getTimeText(maxLapTime), getTimeText(this.laps[this.laps.length -1].time)));

        result.push(temp);
        result.push(" ");
        forEach(this.laps, function(_lap, _index){
            var size = Math.round(_options.maxwidth * _lap.laptime / maxLapTime);
            var bar = "";
            for (var i=0; i<size; i++) bar += "=";
            bar += format("(Lap $0: $1)", _index +1, getTimeText(_lap.laptime));
            result.push(bar);
        });
        return result;
    }

    NL_chrono.prototype.getTimeText = getTimeText;

    function getTimeText(_ms){
        var val = _ms;
        if (val == 0) return "";

        var result = "";
        if (val >= (1000 * 3600 * 24)) result = (val - val % (1000 * 3600 * 24)) / (1000 * 3600 * 24) + "d "
        val = val % (1000 * 3600 * 24)
        if (val != 0) {
            if (val >= (1000 * 3600)) result += (val - val % (1000 * 3600)) / (1000 * 3600) + "h "
            val = val % (1000 * 3600)
            if (val != 0) {
                if (val >= (1000 * 60)) result += (val - val % (1000 * 60)) / (1000 * 60) + "min "
                val = val % (1000 * 60)
                if (val != 0) {
                    if (val >= 1000) result += (val - val % 1000) / 1000 + "s"
                    val = val % 1000
                }
            }
        }

        return result;
    }
}

EDIT: I added a function showStats that will show you in the console a graphical representation of the time of your job :

NB the showStats function result is a string array that you ll have to log with something like :

forEach(chrono.showStats(), function(_stat){log(_stat);});

USe Databse in Custom.js

Wed, 18 Jul 2018 13:58:44 +0000

Hi !

My Products can be a "Batch" :
- PRODUCTS.FAMILY=1
- Contains other products

I need to customize the Products grid in the Search window :
By default all these links call AddRelation() from Efficy.js.
But if the product is a "Batch", I want to link to the Document all products linked to the batch, but not the batch.

2 questions :
- How can I pass the FAMILLY of the product to the AddRelation function ?
- I don't know How to call a serverscript from a client-side script (like Custom.js). Can I use $.ajax from Custom.js ?

Here are my customizations : (I don't know if it's good because I can't test it)
serverscripts/Document.js :

function addProductsFromLot() {
    var EditHandle = StrToIntDef(Request.Argument("editHandle"), 0), // Docu Edit Context
        lotKey = Request.Argument("lotKey"),
        queryHandle = 0;

   var ProdContext = Database.OpenConsultContext(ntProd);
   try {
        var ProdDS = Database.ConsultDetail(queryHandle, ProdContext, lotKey, ntProd, false, true, 0);
        ProdDS.First;
        while (!ProdDS.Eof) {
            var K_PRODUCT = ProdDS.fieldByName('K_PRODUCT').asFloat;
            Database.insertDetail2(EditHandle, ntProd, K_PRODUCT, false);
            ProdDS.Next;
        }
    } finally {
        Database.CloseContext(ProdContext);
    }
}

Custom.js :

function AddRelation(EditHandle, Bookmark, Entity, Key, Entity2, Key2, RefreshTopWindow) {
    //how to get FAMILY ?
    // 2 = Lot / Batch
    if(Entity=='Prod' && FAMILY == 1 ) {
        $.ajax({
            url: format("dialog?_macrofile=MacroAjax&_macro=RunScript&file=Document&func=addProductsFromLot&editHandle="EditHandle+"&lotKey="+Key),
            type: "GET",
            success: function (html, textStatus, jqXHR) {
                if (IsNotEfficyErrorHtml(html, function(errorMsg) {alert(errorMsg)})) {
                    CebPerform("CEB_STATE");
                    CloseTopWindow() // --> will close the search Window ?
                }
            }
        });
    }
    // If not a Batch, don't need to customise
    else {
        var URL = "addrelation?edithandle=" + EditHandle + "&bookmark=" + Bookmark + "&entity=" + Entity + "&key=" + EscapeName(Key)
        if (Entity2) URL += "&entity2=" + Entity2 + "&key2=" + EscapeName(Key2)
        if (window.ClickFromPopup)
            LocationSet(window, URL)
        else if (!RefreshTopWindow && OpenerExists() && !IsDesktopWindow(top.opener.top)) {
            top.opener.EntityModified = false;
            LocationSet(top.opener, URL)
            CloseTopWindow()
        }
        else
            LocationSet(window, URL)
    }
}

Thanks a lot!

how to get a file from Soap Request

Tue, 08 May 2018 09:23:51 +0000

Hi all,

i need to get a pdf file from a soap call to an external webservices.

When i try to do it with soap ui, i get a response like that :

When i click on the attachement, i can save it in .pdf, and i have a readable file.

But, i don't really know how i can do it in serverscript.

i get a raw response like that.

Somebody have an idea on how to get this stream corectly from the soap response and put it in a pdf file ?

How can we save changes from an edit form before starting a serverscript with $.ajax

Thu, 26 Apr 2018 12:36:24 +0000

We need the updated (saved) data of the client form in our serverscript, therefore a CebPerform('CEB_APPLY') is programmatically executed for launching the serverscript.
The serverscript will be started and finished successfully, but the callback success function is NOT triggered.

How we can fix this?

Example:

CebPerform('CEB_APPLY');
var scriptFile = "serverscripts/test.js"
    var scriptFunc = "TestServerScript"
    var URL = "dialog?_macrofile=MacroAjax&_macro=RunScript&File=" + scriptFile + "&Func=" + scriptFunc + "&key=" + Model('key') + "&entity=" + Model('entity') + "&editHandle=" + Model('editHandle');
$.ajax({
    url: URL,
    type: "GET",
    //data: ExtraParams,
    success:
    function (html, textStatus, jqXHR) {
        // this is never reached ?!
        alert("Back:" + html)
        if (IsNotEfficyErrorHtml(html, function (errorMsg) {
                alert(errorMsg)
            })) {
            CebPerform('CEB_STATE');
        }
    }
})

How to remove security using Efficy Functions serverside?

Thu, 22 Mar 2018 15:48:57 +0000

Hi,

From a workflow script I try to remove securities from specified users.

The documentation says that RemoveUsers only affect visible Users so it s not what I need.
I ve try to calculate the Users I want to keep in securities and apply a SetSecurityUsers because the documentation told me that the other users will be removed from security but this doesn't work either in Efficy SP2+
I ve try to used a custom storedProcedure to delete the Comp_User records, but this doesn't refresh my ContextHandle so basically it s not the good behaviour either.

Basically I just want to know how to remove a user from the securities of a record...

Please help.

get the result of a select statement to an array of object

Fri, 09 Feb 2018 14:36:11 +0000

Dear developper community

Just before Kristof tells me why it's not good^^ let s take a minute to celebrate my new Achievement : I finally found a way to convert Dataset to Array of Objects in javascript. please note that this is the result of delphi Recordset objects researches on the web plus lot of tests.

I give you the result of my code as a tribute for the great Efficy developpers community^^.

this is how it works : in my example I try to get all the STATUS_FR and K_OPPO_STATUS from the LK_OPPO_STATUS table ENALBED and with K_OPPO_STATUS lesser than 5
do you remember doing something like this :

var
    result = new Array(),
    qh = 0,
    context = Database.OpenTemporaryContext(),
    sql = "select * from <#TABLE NAME=LK_OPPO_STATUS> where DISABLED = :param1 and K_OPPO_STATUS < :param2",
    params = [0, 5].join("\n"),
    ds = Database.ExecuteSystemSQLQuery(qh, context, sql, params, true, true, 1);

while (!ds.EoF){

    result.push({
        status: ds.FieldByName("STATUS").AsString,
        k_oppo_status: ds.FieldByName("K_OPPO_STATUS").AsFloat      
    });

    ds.Next();
}

return result;

that gave you :

[  
   {  
      "status_fr":"01. Prise de contact",
      "k_oppo_status":1
   },
   {  
      "status_fr":"02. Qualification",
      "k_oppo_status":2
   },
   {  
      "status_fr":"03. Démonstration",
      "k_oppo_status":3
   },
   {  
      "status_fr":"04. Offre",
      "k_oppo_status":4
   }
]

this time my friends is over! now you can do :

return jsonSelectSQL("select * from <#TABLE NAME=LK_OPPO_STATUS> where DISABLED = :param1 and K_OPPO_STATUS < :param2", 0, 5);

Note that at this point YOU don't need to specify anything about the fields names or number of fields.

which will give you something like

[  
   {  
      "k_oppo_status":1,
      "k_sort":1,
      "k_label":0,
      "status":"01. Initial Contact",
      "disabled":"0",
      "status_fr":"01. Prise de contact",
      "status_nl":"01. Prise de contact",
      "status_es":"01. Prise de contact",
      "status_de":"01. Prise de contact",
      "status_ja":"",
      "status_pl":"",
      "status_tr":"",
      "status_ar":"",
      "f_pending":1
   },
   {  
      "k_oppo_status":2,
      "k_sort":2,
      "k_label":0,
      "status":"02. Qualification",
      "disabled":"0",
      "status_fr":"02. Qualification",
      "status_nl":"02. Accroche",
      "status_es":"02. Accroche",
      "status_de":"02. Accroche",
      "status_ja":"",
      "status_pl":"",
      "status_tr":"",
      "status_ar":"",
      "f_pending":1
   },
   {  
      "k_oppo_status":3,
      "k_sort":3,
      "k_label":0,
      "status":"03. Démonstration",
      "disabled":"0",
      "status_fr":"03. Démonstration",
      "status_nl":"03. Démonstration",
      "status_es":"03. Démonstration",

      "status_ja":"",
      "status_pl":"",

      "status_tr":"",
      "status_ar":"",

]

note that if you strictly want the same result as before you can do :

return jsonSelectSQL("select STATUS_FR, K_OPPO_STATUS from <#TABLE NAME=LK_OPPO_STATUS> where DISABLED = :param1 and K_OPPO_STATUS < :param2", 0, 5);

this is the code of jsonSelectSQL :

function jsonSelectSQL(){

    var 
        ds = selectSQL.apply(null, arguments),
        result = new Array(),
        fields = new Array();

    ds.First();
    if (!ds.EoF) {
        for (var i=0; i<ds.Fields.count; i++){
            fields.push(ds.Fields(i).FieldName);
        }
    }
    while (!ds.EoF){
        var obj = {};

        for (var i=0; i<fields.length; i++) {
            var temp = ds.FieldByName(fields[i]).Value;
            switch(typeof(temp)){
                case "string":
                    obj[fields[i].toLowerCase()] = temp;
                    break;
                case "number": 
                    obj[fields[i].toLowerCase()] = Number(temp);
                    break;
                default: 
                    obj[fields[i].toLowerCase()] = temp;
                    break;
            }
        }
        result.push(obj);

        ds.Next();
    }
    return result;
}

please note that you will need this code as well :

//------(simple closure to don't have to remember which StoreId to use)
var nextStoreId = (function(){
    var storeId = 0;
    return function(){return storeId += 1;};
})();

//------(call this with sql string and parameters and you will get the standard dataset)
function selectSQL(){
    var 
        args = arrayFrom(arguments),
        qh = 0, 
        context = Database.OpenTemporaryContext(),
        sql = args[0],
        params = args.splice(0,1),
        ds = Database.ExecuteSystemSQLQuery(qh, context, sql, params.join("\n"), true, true, nextStoreId());

    return ds;
}

//-----(convert the classic arguments arraylike object as a regular javascript array)
function arrayFrom(_arg){

    var result = new Array();

    for (var i=0; i<_arg.length; i++){
        result.push(_arg[i]);
    }

    return result;
}   

//-----(home made splice prototype polyfill, feel free to use yours)
Array.prototype.splice = function(){
    var args = arguments;

    var result = new Array();
    var i = 0;

    if (args[0] + args[1] > this.length) throw new Error("custom Splice error, invalid parameters for this array");
    while (i < args[0]){
        result.push(this[i]);
        i++;
    }

    if (args[2])    for (var j=0; j<args[2].length; j++) result.push(args[2][j]);

    i = args[0] + args[1];

    while (i<this.length){
        result.push(this[i]);
        i++;
    }

    for (i=0; i<this.length; i++) this[i] = undefined;
    this.length = 0;
    for (i=0; i<result.length; i++) this.push(result[i]);

    return this;
}

since a lot of code can be necessary I invite to use my previous achievement : be able to make some include files in serverscripts files : I have it updated so this in the header of your serverscript file will make the trick :

eval(function (_files){
    var root = "C:/inetpub/wwwroot/efficy/" + ((typeof(Request) !== "undefined")? Request.CustomBaseURL: "../customs/Test/");
    var result = "";
    for (var i=0; i<_files.length; i++) result += (StrLoadBinaryFile(root + _files[i])) + "\r\n";
    return result;
}([
    "serverscripts/NL_server_tools.js"
    ,"serverscripts/NL_server.js"
    ,"serverscripts/json2.js"
]));

in this example I chose to regroup all Efficy specific functions in NLserver.js
and all the pure javascripts tools as the splice polyfill in NLserver_tools.js
libjson is the copy of the standard libjson library used sometimes in some scripts. (JSON.parse and stringify)

Cheers. feel free to improve this code or ask for all the librairies if you need it
please share your code afterward.

how to get Current User Language from a serverside script

Thu, 30 Nov 2017 10:35:37 +0000

Hi,

I try to get the language code of the current user in a serverscript to do something like

"select STATUS" + langue + " from LKOPPO_STATUS";

but if I use the Database.Language it only return "9".... that seems to correspond to ... nothing...

should I use a client side GetLanguage and pass the value to the server as a parameter?

It sure will work but is it really the best way to do that?

include in serverscripts with this simple trick

Fri, 07 Jul 2017 08:05:16 +0000

Hi guys,

sometime in serverscripts you can wish to organize your code over several serverscripts like a tools.js library by example.

in almost cases you can just do the trick from your serverscripts call like :

<%LoadScript("mylib1.js;mylib2.js;myscriptfile.js")%>

same goes for ajax calls.

this does not correspond to a real include from a file so we can't just use this trick for scheduler.exe.

I found a way to make an include like call from a serverscript that works in scheduler as well so please enjoy it (even if the solution is a bit obvious I never thought about that before so...)

var root = "C:/inetpub/wwwroot/customs/mycustom/";
var dependencies = [
    "serverscripts/mylib1.js",
    "serverscripts/mylib2.js"
];

for (var i=0; i<dependencies.length; i++){
    eval(StrLoadBinaryFile(root + dependencies[i]));
}

function myFunction(){ //-----(called by the scheduler)
    return functionFromMyLib1(); //-----(definition in mylib1.js)
}

since I havn't tested it in a workflow I can only assume that it would do the trick as well.

Best regards,

How to save a picture (base64 encoded) in the database through serverscript?

Mon, 03 Apr 2017 08:19:30 +0000

Hello,

For a Customer who uses an external website to add contacts, etc in their Efficy (Summer 2012). Multiple calls are possible like update user, create user, create/modify actions,..

All these calls are posted to the serverscripts in the guestpage. All values are read correctly but we encounter 1 problem with an image.

In the arguments 'picture' is defined and expects an long string (base64 encoded).
For example: "iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAdgAAAG6CAYAAACr5VfIAAAACXBIWXMAAC4jAAAuIwF4pT92AAAAGXRFWHRTb2Z0d2..." and this goes on for a while.

As we are in serverscripts, I could not use windows object/functions.

When we save, we are using the next line.

Database.UpdateFields(ContContext, 0,  'PICTURE', picture);

Where picture is saved now is a normal string, I could not convert it to a blob, stream.
Converting the string to the following format did not work as well.

var picture =  "data:image/png;base64, ..."

In db editor I can see the 'hugeblob' of an existing picture of a contact for example, on top defined the content type and below non readable text.

Has anyone already managed to save this to the database as blob?
It would be a great help because of the external website, there are not any other feasible options.

Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,

Jonas Vdb

Lock remains after a CloseContext in serverscripts

Wed, 15 Mar 2017 16:12:29 +0000

Hi again dear community^^,

I have a serverscript that is run by the user "admin" through the scheduleradmin.exe and that create a company record :

var ec = Database.OpenEditContext(ntComp, 0, false);

            try{
                Database.UpdateFields(ec, 0, VarArrayOf(["NAME"]), VarArrayOf([compName])); 

                Database.CommitChanges(ec, true);

                Database.Log("created : " + ds.FieldByName("K_COMPANY").AsInteger);
            }
            finally{
                Database.CloseContext(ec);
                Database.log('finally');
            }

but right after my code is executed within the lock timeout delay, if I go with my own user on the created company, I have the currently locked record error.

Is that normal?

Prototypes override in serverscripts

Wed, 15 Mar 2017 14:57:52 +0000

Hi,

in the serverscripts contexts (like a taskscheduler) I try to use some function that are not implemented (eg : Array.prototype.splice, or indexof) by the efficy js compiler (? am I right?).

anyway, i used in my script a typical prototype's override like :

Array.prototype.splice = function (_index, _length, _elems){
    var result = new Array();
    var i = 0;

    while (i < _index){
        result.push(this[i]);
        i++;
    }

    if (_elems) for (var j=0; j<_elems.length; j++) result.push(_elems[j]);

    i = _index + _length;

    while (i<this.length){
        result.push(this[i]);
        i++;
    }

    this = result;
};

At this point I don't even care about my code working or not, being optimized or not...

Then in my code I try to call my prototype by using a classic :

myArray.splice(1, 2);

but efficy throw me an error like my method doesn't exist...

I can only assume that the prototype I override is not the one called by my code after the Efficy dual language compiler has done its work.

Am I right in my interpretation?
what would you recommand me to use to make those kind of overrides?
is it forecast to implement a real JS engine to Efficy? (please tell me you will convert efficy dll as a nodejs application)

meanwhile if you need to use those kind of functionnalities this is what I ve temporarly done :

function splice(_array, _index, _length, _elems){
    var result = new Array();
    var i = 0;

    while (i < _index){
        result.push(_array[i]);
        i++;
    }

    if (_elems) for (var j=0; j<_elems.length; j++) result.push(_elems[j]);

    i = _index + _length;

    while (i<_array.length){
        result.push(_array[i]);
        i++;
    }

    return result;
};

and then I call it this way :

myTab = splice(myTab, 1, 2);

How to found the list of columns of a DataSet ?

Fri, 21 Oct 2016 08:28:35 +0000

Hi to all,

I want to write a "generic" function to read data via a SQL request...
The problem is that I don't know the list of columns inside the Dataset result, while the query is build +/- dynamically...

 var mysql = "select * from COMPANIES"   // <- query unknow 
 var myDataSet = Database.ExecuteSystemSQLQuery(0, Database.OpenTemporaryContext, mysql, null, true, true, 36); //

Is a way to obtain something like :

var columns = myDataSet.Columns(); //   [ 'K_COMPANY', 'NAME',... ]

SSL/TLS REST serverscripts

Mon, 18 Jul 2016 10:01:11 +0000

Hi guys,

Does anyone have experience with doing REST calls in Javascript, with a private key and certificate?

I got something working now on my local dev pc, but it's in .NET and Curl.
I need something in javascript to begin with.

Regards,

Michael.

In Scheduled serverscripts, is it possible to get more detail on the error?

Tue, 03 May 2016 14:08:38 +0000

Today when you have a Error in the Schedule Script you will have something like this:

[2016/05/03 16:04:15.858] Error: WKFL-2142 Error while executing Script "Microsoft JScript runtime error" at line 115 char 5.
Message: "Object doesn't support this property or method"

If I am doing a

try {
} catch (e) {
   Database.Log(e.message);
}

I am getting only the message "Object doesn't support this property or method"

Is there only possibility to get also the Error "WKFL-2142 Error while executing Script "Microsoft JScript runtime error" at line 115 char 5." ?

I would like to log this information for synchronization purpose.

Efficy SOAP vs. ServerScripts

Thu, 17 Sep 2015 09:17:10 +0000

Hi guys!

We need to integrate efficy data and processes into a website.
Including sending emails etc.

I wondered if it is possible to call a server script via SOAP just like <%RunScript()%>.
Otherwise I need to update some hidden fields field and let workflow do the job...

Thank you

Tim

P.S. overflow.efficy.com does a great job! Well done!

Version 2012 - Add contacts to a publication and to the actions link

Mon, 07 Sep 2015 13:49:19 +0000

When I add contacts to a publication, these contacts are to be added to the actions link to this publication.

I did a workflow.

To add contacts to the publication there are 4 possibilities:

1) Add using Search => I use "BeforeCommitPublCont" and "BeforeCommitContPubl"
2) Add using Query => I use "OnBeforeAddLinkPublCont" and "OnBeforeAddLinkContPubl"

3) Add using a Profile => What is to be used ?
4) Add using a Publication => What is to be used ?

Thank you

how to get the correct datetime string from a recordset via serverside javascript

Mon, 27 Jul 2015 08:21:38 +0000

It seems that when we request the time from D_CHANGE and convert it to a string, we get the UTC time instead of the local time:

var chgeDate = FormatDateTime("dd/mm/yyyy hh:nn", DataSet.FieldByName('D_CHANGE').AsFloat);

Is there an easy trick to get the local time?

Create Acti_Acti relation into SYS_ENTITYVIEWS without EntityView error

Wed, 03 Jun 2015 15:35:23 +0000

Hello
I created a new relation Acti_Acti.
Following the SQL Code to create my new relation

insert into SYS_ENTITYVIEWS (NAME, ISCUSTOM, TABLEVIEWS) values ('Acti_Acti', 1, 'Acti_Acti')

Update SYS_ENTITYVIEWS set 
    ISCUSTOM=1, 
    TABLEVIEWS=(SELECT TABLEVIEWS FROM SYS_ENTITYVIEWS WHERE NAME = 'ActiEdit') + ';Acti_Acti=Acti'
where NAME='ActiEdit' 

Update SYS_ENTITYVIEWS set 
    ISCUSTOM=1, 
    TABLEVIEWS=(SELECT TABLEVIEWS FROM SYS_ENTITYVIEWS WHERE NAME = 'ActiDelete') + ';Acti_Acti=Acti'
where NAME='ActiDelete'

When I try create a relation from ServerScript in an Edit context the server bring me back this error
unknown EntityView.
Error context.

But When I create a link though the Edit screen (Standard method) it's working.

onclick="RelationButtonClick(this, 'Acti', '60', '1028', false)"

Delete a relation To.

javascript:CebPerform('CEB_DEL_REL_', 'Acti35219')

But I can't do the same thing from a serverscript.
So any idea why ?
