I'm writing a piece of code to simulate some stuff of diagnostic.
I've created with CANalyzer, a panel with tons of information that need to be shown using a picklist (called combobox)
What I want to do is to create a giant array of that struct that need to be selected using the SPN combobox (the picklist) , and the other parameters of the struct/object need to populate the other elements of the panel.
Is this possible without doing a tons of SysSetVariableInt or SysSetVariableString for each element?
Before I was doing this stuff using another technique, I parse the file with all the information that are stored in a giant matrix, then I use the method "on sysvar update" on the variable associated to the SPN picklist, to get the index of that, so I search for that index in the matrix, then I use the SysSetVariableInt or others, to set the values to the elements in the panel.
To populate the picklist I've found a pretty nice method "sysSetVariableDescriptionForValue" that helps to add elements, but the problem with this method, is that if you want to change elements, you can just overwrite, and not change all...so, if in a next iteration you push less element in the picklist, you will see also the old ones.
With "sysSetVariableDescriptionForValue" you basically are writing via code, the value table of that sysvariable, and is not possible (according to Vector), be flushed, on runtime... :/
I would love to do this thing using another approach, maybe with the struct is possible...i really don't know.
Any help will be very appreciated!
Regards!
TLDR; build a tool to create a .sysvar file from a structured input (comma-separated for instance), run it, get the .sysvar file and link it to the CANalyzer configuration.
I once had to create the entire testing interface with some components of the software. We didn't have a structured release procedure, and the test environment was rebuilt every time from scratch based on the new internal software interfaces. I too had to add hundreds of variables.
My solution was to generate .sysvar files programatically outside CANalyzer. Links to the .sysvar files are symbolic in the CANalyzer configuration, meaning if a file by the right name is in the right location, that file is going to be loaded.

Create an external script to generate the .sysvar file. In the end it is just an xml file, you may study the structure of a demo one you save. Then, import that file in the CANalyzer config. You may need to close/re-open the configuration in case the .sysvar file changes.
PROs: no need to write a complicated CAPL script and update it every time a variable changes.
CONs: you must have a source for all the information, even a simple excel sheet, with all the description and such, and you have to create a tool that accepts the input file (let's assume a .csv file) and turns it into a .xml file with .sysvar extension instead.

In short: I have a method name provided via a JSON configuration file. I'd like to call a method using this provided name. The method (with a matching name) will exist in the backend. What's the best way of going about this?
I am not quite sure what I should be searching for as an example.
To detail: I am working with a legacy application, hence the VB.NET. I am building a single PDF file from multiple PDF sources. Most of these are as is, I simply read the configuration and grab the relevant files and the job is done. However some require processing, I'd like the configuration file to pass in a method name to be called that will perform extra processing on the PDF, whatever that may be.
As there can be a lot of PDF files that can vary, I cannot simply use a property such as "PostProcessing: true".
Any ideas?
You could use reflection to reflect method names back and check them against the name passed from the property in the config file.
Like so
Type magicType = Type.GetType("MagicClass");
MethodInfo magicMethod = magicType.GetMethod("ItsMagic");
object magicValue = magicMethod.Invoke(magicClassObject, new object[]{100});
That would work.. but to be honest, I'd go with a case statement as you'll be hardcoding the method names anyway (because they are code), and it'll be strongly typed (less chance of typos and errors).
Is there a way to programmatically create folders? There was a way to do it in lotus script - that method also was not documented in designer help. I want to get a document collection and then put the whole collection into a folder. I can see in the documentation that this will create the folder - I want to add columns to the folder. I suppose at worst I can open the folder after it has been created from the "put" command.
You can use ViewEntryCollection.PutAllInFolder method https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSVRGU_9.0.1/basic/H_PUTALLINFOLDER_METHOD_VEC_JAVA.html
The folder will be created from the view/folder flagged as "Default for new views/folders" property. To change its design, you can use createColumn method https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSVRGU_9.0.0/com.ibm.designer.domino.main.doc/H_CREATECOLUMN_METHOD_VIEW_JAVA.html
If you want to modify the design by adding columns, it will need to run with a ID that has at least Designer access to the database. ODA has a design API that can be used to create design elements via DXL. I've used it to create views, but folders should work the same.
If you don't need to modify the design, you can create a Shared Private on First Use folder by running as the user and calling getView(). I don't think that needs designer access, but it's worth double-checking.
Note: the ODA methods haven't been tested from SSJS. If it works, you're lucky, but the focus is Java.
I have a transmogrifier pipeline to insert objects to my Zope database (importing zexp files from a directory structure). This works - the objects are created; but I don't get them added to the portal_catalog.
I added a section to add the objects to the catalog explicitly, inspired by plone.app.transmogrifier.reindexobject: I call portal_catalog.catalog_object(obj) for each item.
The objects exist, and getPhysicalPath yields the correct values, but the objects are not added. There is no error message or exception whatsoever.
I tried to specify the list of indexes (the idxs argument), but this didn't change anything. If not specified, all indexes should be filled anyway, right?
Since it looks like a transaction problem to me (no errors, but nothing stored in the catalog either), I tried transaction code (begin, savepoint, commit, and in case of exceptions abort), but it didn't help. When I call the catalog immediately after the catalog_object call (portal_catalog(path='/Plonesite/full/path/to/object')), nothing has happened, and an empty list is returned.
The catalog does contain objects; even objects of my custom datatypes (AT-based). Not even the Folder objects of my imports are indexed.
Without the objects in the catalog, my import is useless. What can I do?
Thank you!
Edit: Any hint about how to get my object trees in the catalog is appreciated! Even if it can't be integrated in my process. I need the contents cataloged ...
My custom content types are contained in the Plone Catalog Tool page selection field, but I don't know whether this is sufficient.
Edit 2:
Somehow my objects have been catalogued - the unrestrictedSearchResults method shows them! However, it can't be the desired solution to use this method all over; so I need to "un-restrict" the entries somehow.
It turned out that I have a monkey:patch (xmlns:monkey="http://namespaces.plone.org/monkey") for the Products.CMFPlone.CatalogTool.CatalogTool.searchResults method; this filters the catalog for my additional field subportal unless a special value for it is given - even in the management view ... Unfortunately, I had no way to specify this special value in that view.
Thus, the solution was to weed out all wrong values (for subportals which don't exist in the other Zope tree) to have the default value take effect.
Quite specific to my setup, I'm afraid ...
I have a set of data rendered using ASP.Net (VB.Net) to a web page. I now want to export that data to XML. I have created some code to generate a schema, however, I don't know what to do next. I want to have the schema be in-line with the XML data, and I would like the compiler to check to make sure that the data I'm entering for the XML content validates against the included schema. Anyone know of a way to do this? The idea is for me to be able to open the resultant file in Excel with fields of the correct type.
I've build XML documents before, and this is my first schema document I've created programmatically. However, I've never worked with inline schema's, much less used them to strongly-type the XML being added to the document.
I've read over the following, which were quite helpful, but neither of which addressed the issue I mention above:
http://www.aspfree.com/c/a/XML/Generating-XML-Schema-Dynamically-Using-VBNET-2005-Essentials/
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/kaevans/archive/2007/06/05/inline-an-xml-schema-into-your-xml-document.aspx
I have no idea what you mean by "... I would like the compiler to check to make sure that the data I'm entering for the XML content validates against the included schema."
The compiler never checks that. If you want to validate your XML Document against a schema programmatically, you should probably use http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.schema.xmlschemavalidator.aspx.
But for inlining the schema with your document, you sort of answered your own question. The second link in your question, to http://blogs.msdn.com/b/kaevans/archive/2007/06/05/inline-an-xml-schema-into-your-xml-document.aspx, is exactly what you are trying to do.
You can think of an inline XML Schema as a document-within-a-document. Well, using Kirk's example, the outermost document is more of a container which uses the undefined namespace (no schema). His example uses a document root of "DerekDoc" that belongs to the undefined namespace. You can name yours whatever you want.
Inside that root are essentially two documents. One is the inline XML Schema. You would just add it as a child element of the root. The other is the XML document that you intended to conform to the XML Schema. You will need to use the xmlns attribute to set this element to the namespace defined by your XML Schema (the target namespace of the schema).
It might work (I haven't tried it) to set the root element to the target namespace of the schema, but it might be harder for clients to validate the document since it's a forward reference.
Are IDs attributes shared between different modules in Flex ?
i.e. I have a text area with id="text1" in my menu.mxml file.
And I want to write on it from another module mainArea.mxml
The debug gives me error, so how can I share different components ?
thanks
I'd suggest you create a central model object that contains the text instead of trying to access elements by ID. If you access elements by ID -- and I'm not sure if this works cross-module -- you tightly couple your code as opposed to having a central model that takes care of that. Then the calling code does not need to know about the text area or label or whatever you happen to bind to it.
