Route workflow in IBM Maximo Anywhere - maximo-anywhere

Is there a way to route a record into workflow using Work execution or work approval app in Maximo anywhere ? I understand auto- initiate is not possible but I wanted to know whether there is a way to perform route.

inside AnyWhere app we don't have route workflow.
Based on workorder.status you can create an escaltion, maximo side, and call an Action with value WFINITIATE as Application Action.

What could also be possible is having a checkbox on anywhere. Put an automationscript on save or attribute launchPoint to check if the checkbox is ticked. Then use automation to initiate your workflow.
I believe the script looks something like this
from psdi.server import MXServer
MXServer.getMXServer().lookup("WORKFLOW").initiateWorkflow("[MYWF]",mbo);
or
from psdi.server import MXServer
wfs = MXServer.getMXServer().lookup("WORKFLOW")
wfs.initiateWorkflow('TESTWF', mbo)

Exporting AEM experience fragments to Adobe Target automatically every time a related Content Fragment is updated

I have this unique requirement where each time a particular Content Fragment is updated in AEM, all the Experience Fragments referencing that particular Content Fragment need to be automatically exported to Adobe Target.
Thinking about using SQL2 query to retrieve XFs referencing a particular CF and then incorporating this into a workflow process. Also, wondering if I can leverage aem OOTB workflow process called "Export to Target" in this.
Not really sure of how to call this "Export to Target" process on each Experience Fragment that we need to export to Target or is this possible at all?
Wondering if anyone has ever come across this requirement and succeeded.
Highly appreciate any tips or suggestions in this regard. Many Thanks in advance.
Whenever a Content Fragment is created or updated an OSGi event is triggered. All events are logged under http://localhost:4502/system/console/events. You could write a EventListener or EventHandler, get the path of the event, get the Resource and adapt it to com.adobe.cq.dam.cfm.ContentFragment. The topic for these events is "com/day/cq/dam" or in this constant.
From the adapted Class or Resource you can get informations about the model and if it's the model you want to process.
To find all references I would also create an oak index and use SQL2 query to find all references.
The query would be something like this:
select [jcr:path], [jcr:score], * from [nt:base] as a where contains(*, '"/content/dam/myReferencedModel"')
If you have all referencing XF's you can kick off any workflow via WorkflowService:
    #Reference
    private WorkflowService workflowService;
        WorkflowSession wfSession = workflowService.getWorkflowSession(session);
        WorkflowModel wfModel = wfSession.getModel("/var/workflow/models/mymodel");
        WorkflowData wfData = wfSession.newWorkflowData("JCR_PATH", "/payload");
        wfSession.startWorkflow(wfModel, wfData);

Symfony event vs service

Hi I have a question about symfony application architecture,
In my application I create different user, but when a user is created, updated, deleted, or his picture change, I need to do some action.
What is the best way to do this ? I excluded to do this on a controller action. There is 2 others solutions :
Create differents events like user.created, user.updated, ... And dispatch it on the controller action and make different listener to do the different action like MailListener (for user.created) TaskListener (for user.created) for add a task.
Use a service like UserManager and on this service have a method like userCreated() and on this method call differents actions like sendMailOnCreated, addTaskOnCreated for example.
For you what is the best method ?
For me, your first solution is the best one. It's clearly a use case for the Event component. It will be easier to maintain and more readable.
Moreover, if you need to add more listener you just need to create another one and bind it to your event. You don't need to modify your controller anymore.

Passing value between two components in angular2-meteor project

I am using angular2-meteor.
When I try to pass a value between two components (when the value change in the first component, create an event in second component and use this new value), I have two ways right now:
One way is meteor way: using this.autorun and Session.get.
Another way is angular2 way: using Injectable service with EventEmitter.
Which way should be prior? Or is there any other better way? Thanks
Now I used angular2-meteor a while.
Although the angular2-meteor tutorial has no example so far about using or choosing Angular 2 service or Meteor Session.
But I feel angular 2 takes the lead in the front end, while meteor makes reactivity easier and also handle all back end things.
So I went with angular2 way using service to share between components. And service is very powerful like #todd-w-crone said.
If anyone has better answer, I will switch to accept that one.
I find it practical to create a new service called App.states.ts which is accessed globally and mimics Session (get / set).
I commonly import this service to all necessary components to get or set new value such as User.status, company.profile, lastProduct, etc.
Since this service is #injectable it can also make use of other services, in case a value hasn't been set already.
This allows me to ask for a variable in a component appState.getLastModifiedItem(), then in app.states.ts I'll write this function to pass this.modifiedItem or either:
Request another service item.service.ts to fetch data
Call another function with itemCollection.findOne({...}) and return such value.
You can configure Mongo queries as you want and either store static data in appState or keep subscription items in appState.
Do take into consideration that all subscriptions handled by an #injectable within a component are imported by such component. Be wary of conflicting subscriptions between components/services.

How to write "Intercepting Filter Pattern" like Java's servlet filter in Flex?

I want to know how to write "Intercepting Filter Pattern" like Java's servlet filter in Flex.
And I want to insert it into the classes which have a role of server communicating.
Please show me any sample codes if any...
Create a class which will play a role of connector between your program and server. Put there event listener for server events. Create a constant types for different types of events that server could send to your program. Put a switch into event listener that receive these events, and re dispatch them to the specific places, depending on which type of the event it was.

Possible to save a node using a multi-step form?

I'm building a Drupal based site that requires the communication of a node ID to a seperate web service. This web service handles the uploading of files to a seperate server (from the one Drupal is on).
This creates a problem where in if I create a new node, the Node ID is not generated until the form is submitted - meaning I can't attach the files until I save the node and open it back up to edit it. I'd like to remove that step.
Is it possible to create a two step node creation process where the basics of the node are submitted and saved, and then the form re-directs to step two where I can attach the files?
I'd also consider an AJAX enabled node submission form - but that seems to add even more complexity to the situation.
Any advice, examples will be appreciated!
you could do this with a multi-step form. see http://pingv.com/blog/ben-jeavons/2009/multi-step-forms-drupal-6-using-variable-functions for the canonical way to do this (besides the code, also check the comments).
you could also do it by adding a second submit handler to the form. the first, default one (node_form_submit) saves your node (including the attached file) the standard Drupal way. the second handler could upload the file to the separate server, do upload error checking, delete the file from the Drupal DB, etc. you can add an additional submit handler to a Drupal 6 form by adding it to the form's #submit property, either in the form definition or via hook_form_alter / hook_form_FORM_ID_alter.
Depending on what exactly you want to do, you might use hook_nodeapi on its 'insert' operation. It is fired after successful node creation, so the node object will contain the newly assigned nid there already.
NOTE: The wording of the API documentation is a bit ambiguous concerning the 'insert' and 'update' operations:
"insert": The node is being created
(inserted in the database).
This sounds like it is right in the middle of the process, whereas the node has already been created at this point.
I guess the node_save function can help you.
I ran into exactly this same issue and did it the wrong way. I added the hook myself.
