I am using D365FO Task Recorder to document a test case where the user clicks on a hyperlink in a dropdown control to see details of a certain type of item. The downloaded XML runs in the Playback Recorder without issues but RSAT cannot Generate Test Execution and Parameters File. Here is the error message:
Cannot generate test execution files. Action ExecuteHyperlink is not supported on control ReferenceGroup. Recreate the recording without this action.
The users of my company use hyperlinks quite often so it’s impossible to record test cases avoiding this functionality.
Did anyone find or solve this hyperlink problem?
Thanks in advance, regards

I have an admin function that's rarely used that is built in VB.NET. It prepares a very long and complicated document and takes a very long time to process after user has hit the "Export PDF" button. What I would like to do is have ability for user to hit the Export button, leave the page and have it still going in the background and then when it's done, email the user to let them know report is ready with the URL of the file it generated.
I'm unsure if this is possible. It's my understanding that if you leave a page before a process is finished, it will interrupt/cancel the process. I can't reprogram my function in another language because it's just too complex for me to attempt to do that, so I need to stick with VB.NET.
I realize that it's not good practice to have a function that takes a long time on the server, but as I said, this is rarely used by a select amount of users and I'd like to make it more convenient for them.
Anyone know the best method/if any to get this accomplished?
Thanks!
I you can do one of these:
Create a child thread (spawn) and let that thread create and email PDF
Create a service and call that service to create and email PDF
Again I come to you guys for your expertise and advice on an issue that I am having. I was wondering if any of you would know how to detect if a web page has been modified using VB.NET. I need to be able to set up a task which periodically (like once a week) scans the user inputted web pages and if the web page content has changed, I need to fire off an email to an individual that it has changed (not the exact location on the page itself). I'll be storing the HTTP status and of course the page data itself as well as the date of when it was last modified. Of course this needs to be very fault tolerant since it could be another week before the check runs again. Any help would be great. Thank you.
EDIT
New twist on this question sorry. I had more time to think about what we wanted. So... Detecting ANY change on a web page would be kind of silly since time dependent elements of the page would change every so often. Instead, what I would like to do is be able to detect the documents in the page. For instance if there are excel, word docs, or pdfs that get changed on that page. So, I'd run the hash on these documents then on some sort of schedule do a check to see if new documents have been added or if the old documents have been modified. Any suggestions on how to detect the documents embedded on the page and running the hash? Thanks again!
As I mentioned in a comment, this sort of job is what checksums (also known as hash functions) were designed for.
You code for will look something like this:
- for each webpage of interest
- pull webbpage
- calculate checksum of contents
- is current checksum different to last checksum?
- if yes, send email
- store new checksum and other appropriate data
The .Net framework has a number of checksums available. The two most popular are MD5 and sha1
In addition to the checksum option, there are also various Diff function that achieve this, and provide much more information than changed=true/false. This question has more info:
How to tell when a web page has changed by x% in VB.net?
I am learning pureMVC and trying to implement the framework into one of my application. I have follwing case:
My main application has Canvas which is used to add different kind of custom components. One of the custom component is a "Search Component" (multiple instances are created on page). My search component has a textfiled and a search button and initiate search in following steps:
1-Clicking search button dispatches a custom event, that custom event keeps reference of search component as a property.
2-My AppMediator listens the custom event and get the reference of current search component along with search text.
3-Mediator send a notification (sentNotification(AppConstants.SEARCH_CLICKED, component)).
4-I have registered a command with SEARCH_CLICKED notification.
5-Command retrieve a WebserviceProxy and invokes its Search(text) method.
6-WebserviceProxy talks to remote webservice and uses asyncToken to get results.
My Questions is:
My Command has the reference to the custom search component when it start search but search webservice takes some time and get the result. How can i handle the results back to custom search component that initiated the search. Since i have multiple instances of search component. What is the best place to keep the reference of that component, should i add a variables in WebserviceProxy to keep that reference and hand the results over to it, or i have to create a Global Proxy to keep references of such components?
Thanks
I have been using PureMVC for some years and I like it!
I think you have not yet understood roles and collaboration of main components.
You should not have any dependencies between Commands and UI-elements. Your Mediator has to get the concrete value from your UI-component and send it through the Notification. In this case the Command and the Proxy will get only a text value and it is no matter, what is the source of it! Suppose you will change your UI after some time and you will have another components on the user side to determine the search value. In your case you would have to change the Proxy and the Command. It would be bad.
Proxy may not have any information about Commands and Mediators. It can only offer its functions to let another components interact with it AND it sends Notifications with new information after getting it without knowing who is interesting in it.
Read the description of the framework once more and write your questions.
I had some problems with understanding the stuff too, I see your problem.
Based on Anton's answer, i re-think and tried to separate dependencis. As a result, i tried to mediate each instance of Search Widget with "SearchMediator" separately by providing different ID to the constructor of Mediator. Now, when search widget intiates a new search, it's mediator invokes the Command, Command invokes a method of Proxy to do actual search and fetch results from DB and sends a Notification. SearchMediator takes care about that notification and hands over the results to appropriate UI.
I'm thinking of a architectural way of displaying messages in our application (Flex-Asp.NET-SqlServer), mostly messages that announce for instance a downtime.
Currently I was thinking of creating a table FlexMessage that holds the name of a message (based on that name I now where to put in Flex) and the value (the message itself). As a result however, someone will have to create these messages and also delete them when they are no longer valid. So, thinking further, I thought of creating messages having a startdate and enddate, so an interval in which they need to be displayed. Like this, someone could login to the management part and create a message that needs to be displayed from a certain date until a certain date.
I could also hardcode it in the Flex Application, but that would mean putting a new build online (of the swf) each time something changes with a certain message. No good idea I guess.
Is there a better way for this that I haven't thought about?
One way to do this is to place your messages in an RSS feed, then read that feed from the Flex application.
There is an example of how to do this here: http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=23819
I'm a ASP.NET and ABAP developer. For years, I used RFC's to communicate with ASP.NET using SAP .NET Connector.
During the integrated tests, sometimes we need to debug a RFC that has been called from ASP.ENT, just because the bug we are facing does not happens at SE37.
So, everytime I needed to debug the RFC, I just inserted:
IF <<CONDITION>>. WHILE 1 EQ 1. BREAK-POINT. ENDWHILE. ENDIF.
By doing so, the program gets stuck. Then I go to SM50 and debug it.
I was wondering if there is any other way of doing this, because I don't like the idea of changing code in order to debug, or implementing some debug control functionality.
So, what do you do when you need to debug RFC's?
Thanks in advance!
I assume you are using a fairly recent version of sap (4.7+)
Do the following:
Get the username that makes the RFC call into SAP in ASP
Fire up SE37, go to the code section of your RFC
Look at the menu on top, click on 'Utilities'
Click on Settings
Go for the Debugging tab
Fill in the username that will make the call from ASP
Click IP Matching (otherwise a debug session appears for every time any user makes the call)
Session breakpoint active immediately is nice to click as well
Put your external breakpoint where you need it (click the icon with the stop sign and the little man)
Test your ASP connector
The breakpoint should come into effect, a debug window will pop up
You might not have the authorization to do this, if it doesnt work, use SU53 to find out what you're missing.
This should work.
Tricky .. can you elaborate what you mean by "the bug does not happen at se37"?
Does that mean that you cannot reproduce the data that leads to your problem or that the problem is specific to the fact that the function module is called via RFC?
Usually, you should be able to use se37 to start the function module, and there are some ways to record different data constellations to the function module. The behavior of the function module should be the same, regardles of being called from se37 or via RFC ...
When you call a RFM via SE37 you unknowingly use SAP selection screen.
In case you have a table with header-line
when invoked from RFC it might have header line "filled up"
In case you call same FM from RFC the header line in initial.
LOOP AT PT_JNC.
EXIT.
ENDLOOP.
or READ TABLE PT_JNC INDEX 1.
will help populate header line
This is a subtle difference.
Other simple differences are SAP uses YYYYMMDD date format and HH24MISS time
