Azure SQL Support

Fri, 08 Sep 2023 14:51:12 +0000

Dear Efficy Team,

I've seen the supported DB are, according to the documentation (https://help.efficy.io/edn/admin/sppl_serversoftware), Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle and PostgreSQL.

I have a client that would try deploying Efficy on a cloud environment using Azure SQL.

Would this work ? Do we need some special work-around ?
Or is it just not possible and we'll need a virtual SQL server ?

Thanks for your help,

Alexandre

SOAP Connection with executesqlquery including sum and having statement does not work

Sat, 08 Apr 2023 08:37:35 +0000

Hello

We've been working successfully for a few years now wtih SOAP connections and SQL execution
We're now facing an issue with a SQL clause containing a having and sum statement.
Here is the body of the soap envelop :

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:efficy="http://XXXXX.efficy.cloud" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<efficy:api> 
<currentuserfullname/>
<datacontainer id="1" operation="executesqlquery" recordcount="">                    

<sql>
SELECT 
C.F_SAP,
   COALESCE(SUM(F_CA_CUMULE_N), 0) as CA_N,
    COALESCE(SUM(F_CA_TOTAL_N_1), 0) as 'CA_N - 1',
    COALESCE(SUM(F_CA_TOTAL_N_2), 0) as 'CA_N - 2',
    COALESCE(SUM(F_CA_CUMULE_N), 0)  +  COALESCE(SUM(F_CA_TOTAL_N_1), 0) +  COALESCE(SUM(F_CA_TOTAL_N_2), 0) as TOTAL_CA


    FROM 
    (
    SALE_COMP SC
    INNER JOIN
        SALES S
    ON
        S.K_SALE = SC.K_SALE
     )
inner join r_companies C
on 
(C.K_COMPANY= SC.K_COMPANY)

Where
len(C.F_SAP)>0 

GROUP BY
C.F_SAP
having COALESCE(SUM(F_CA_CUMULE_N), 0)  +  COALESCE(SUM(F_CA_TOTAL_N_1), 0) +  COALESCE(SUM(F_CA_TOTAL_N_2), 0) >3000
</sql>
<queryparams></queryparams>
</datacontainer>
</efficy:api>
<efficy:logoff/>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

The post method returns the following error message :

EEfficyExceptionCannot find Child Node "document"LIBS-1822

If I use a more simple SQL pointing to the exact same tables, I have no problem :

   <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:efficy="http://XXXX.efficy.cloud" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<efficy:api> 
<currentuserfullname/>
<datacontainer id="1" operation="executesqlquery" recordcount="">                    

<sql>
SELECT 
C.F_SAP


    FROM 
    (
    SALE_COMP SC
    INNER JOIN
        SALES S
    ON
        S.K_SALE = SC.K_SALE
     )
inner join r_companies C
on 
(C.K_COMPANY= SC.K_COMPANY)

Where
len(C.F_SAP)>0 

GROUP BY
C.F_SAP


</sql>
<queryparams></queryparams>
</datacontainer>
</efficy:api>
<efficy:logoff/>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

I have opened a ticket (CFT-2023-261853) but somebody mastering well SOAP connections could help @Laurent Truffaut...

thanks

how activate data-inline edit-columns for a native SQL result grid.

Fri, 11 Mar 2022 13:07:46 +0000

here a classical result query result made with wizard

<table class="data-grid grid-density-0" data-channel="entitylist/grid" data-entity="" data-recordcount="30" data-columnlist="N,K_USER,D_CREATE,K_ACTION,Sujet_de_l_action,K_CASE,Nom_de_l_incident,DURATION,K_ACTION_1,K_CASE_1" data-inlineedit-columns="1{NUMERIC},2{DATETIME},3{NUMERIC},4{},5{NUMERIC},6{},7{NUMERIC},8{NUMERIC},9{NUMERIC}" data-inlineedit-origins=",ACTIONS,ACTIONS,ACTIONS,ACTIONS,CASES,CASES,ACTIONS,ACTIONS,CASES" data-queryhandle="21">

<tr data-key="387650" class="" data-record-hash="77073465" data-inlineedit-row-origins="ACTIONS=387650,CASES=32709">

here the result with a native SQL

<table class="data-grid grid-density-0" data-channel="entitylist/grid" data-entity="" data-recordcount="1" data-columnlist="N,K_TIMESHEET,K_STEP,K_PROJECT,K_DOCUMENT,K_PUBLICATION,DOSSIER,PUBLICATION,BC/DEVIS,SUBJECT,WORK_ESTIMATED,WORK_UPDATED,PROGRESS,TOTALINVOICED" data-inlineedit-columns="" data-inlineedit-origins="" data-queryhandle="23">

<tr data-key="" class="" data-record-hash="-272002184" data-inlineedit-row-origins="">

All the options for inline edit are gone.
So is there any solution to have the same thing ?

Thank's

issue in native sql request parameter in relationColumns.txt

Mon, 07 Jun 2021 13:16:48 +0000

Hi,

In detail tab of edit window, we aim to overload the display of companies, using custom field (F_ACRONYME) instead of field NAME.

To do that, in relationColumns.txt i tried to construct a sql query to get F_ACRONYME in COMPANIES table :

td.FULLNAME.Comp      {[
  <%RunQuery(id="acronymeCompanie",
            sql="select F_ACRONYME from <#table name='COMPANIES'> C where C.K_COMPANY=:param1",
            param1 = "$KEY$" ,
       store=T)%>
  <a data-msg="view;$entity$;<#F=$KEY$;context=ATTR>" href="#" class="<#I=OPENED;0=inactive>" title="<#F=NAME;nospace=T;context=ATTR>">
  <%GetField("F_ACRONYME",query='acronymeCompanie',context=TEXT)%>  </a>
  ]}

When i run this code i get this error : "Incorrect number of parameters"
I tried to change $KEY$ to {key} but it doesn't work.

If i delete parameter 1 to test sql query i get this error : "Duplicate Query Definition: "acronymeCompanie"

Can you help me to understand and resolve these 2 errors ?

Thanks,

Best regards

Tue, 26 Nov 2019 10:50:15 +0000

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a migration from 2012 to 11.3
Db Upgrade have run without any error, i can connect, i can .. etc.

But, when trying to make a query using R_CONTACTS, i get this error:

View or function 'R_CONTACTS' has more column names specified than columns defined.

DB Version is 11.3.18520.0
Rdgb: SQL Server

I don't know if the probleme is linked to my database, or if it is a bug/missing part in the upgrade DB, but ... i found this solution to unblock me.

3rd party needs read-only access to efficy database

Thu, 25 Apr 2019 06:30:31 +0000

Hello,

A client on premise works with a 3rd party company for their telephony purposes. They need to store efficy data in their database for quick interaction with and from efficy to their communications system.

Not being able to use dumps (their system can't handle big files), we would like to give this client read-only access to a specific part of the database (in this case only 1 view).

I would prefer to do this with queries, so it can be used for other customers.

MSSQL DB: SQL-Views are deleted when adding new fields to DB and run "apply structure"

Thu, 25 Jan 2018 16:17:55 +0000

Hi all,

I have an issue on MSSQL Server, with SQL-Views created by the customer. When adding new fields and run the "apply structure" to rebuild the DB, these Views were deleted.

To overcome this issue, we used another SQL schema to create the views.

Now my question, do we have another option (maybe a more Efficy appropriate) to avoid this deletion of Views?

best regards

Create a lookup table from scripts

Mon, 15 Jan 2018 12:08:16 +0000

Hi,

To install a custom module to an other base I have to create lookup tables in the new base.
Since the dbstaging doesn't work fine in this context (the iscustom field is not taken into consideration plus the keygen is not managed by this tool and since in the new base the Key of the lookup table is not the same)

I had to make it work so this is the script I finally used. Please note that The keygen will works now, plus the ISCUSTOM field issue has been fixed as well.

I would recommand to perticulary look after the use of ADMIN user and schema in my code because this part is not dynamic.

NB: I chose to ignore the sys label of my table since it's a configuration table

So far it works fine (on MSSQL) cheers,

Missing foreign key constraint on cont_cont, comp_comp,...

Fri, 10 Feb 2017 14:47:21 +0000

Hi all,

We created an SQL script responsible for cleaning the links in cont_cont, comp_comp and cont_comp, updating some custom fields in the meantime.
We also create the "opposite" link when missing or update it if already there.
We however noticed that we were getting some SQL errors stating that when creating the reverse link, the foreign key constraint was violated.

After some investigation, we found out that there were some records in cont_cont and comp_comp where k_contact2 and k_company2 respectively were pointing to non-existent contacts and companies (resp).
Truth is, there are no foreign key constraints on these k_...2 fields and therefore when someone deletes a record, only the links where its key is in k_contact (or k_company) are deleted, but not where its key is in k_contact2 (or k_company2), since no "delete cascade" is associated to them.

Is this the intended behaviour?
Is there a reason why the foreign key constraints on k_...2 fields are missing?

Thank you,
Kind regards,

Laurent

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',... ]

Regards

Get DTSEARCH result from SQL

Fri, 12 Jun 2015 13:53:58 +0000

One of our client want to do something like that but without using the SOAP request.

<efficy:search entity="{Entity}" method="DTSEARCH" value="{String}">
 <datacontainer id="{Int}"/>
</efficy:search>

Do you know an other way by using native SQL search to get it or it's only generated by the DLL ?

ORA-01795: maximum number of expressions in a list is 1000

Fri, 05 Jun 2015 07:23:04 +0000

Dear,

I have an entity with more then 1000 companies linked.
When I want to link a contact to it in edit mode I get this error:

ORA-01795: maximum number of expressions in a list is 1000

You get this error because Efficy is generating a query where it joins all companies by using an 'IN' statement: where k_company in ().

Because I have more then 1000 companies (1814) and Oracle has the limitation of 1000 elements in an IN statement, I can not link a contact in Edit mode.

Can I overwrite this standard generated query and if yes how?

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 ?
