How can I tell, within the graph processing logic, if it's being executed through a Scheduled task rather than through user interaction?
PXProcessing doesn't seem to have much, nor does the records within the AUSchedule table
Reason: If I'm in an interactive session, I want to redirect to multiple screens for the document(s) I've created. In a Scheduled task, I don't want to clutter up the server with these Redirects
Take a look through the code repository at SOShipmentEntry. Search for SOInvoiceEntry and it will get you to the Action function where it creates the invoice. You can see that they call the adapter.MassProcess function to see if it is running in a process or not and throws exceptions, sets info, or errors based on the status.
You can also see the AllowRedirect flag in use.
Here is an example of redirecting to the invoice at the end of a shipment invoice creation:
SOInvoiceEntry ie = PXGraph.CreateInstance<SOInvoiceEntry>();
......
......
if (adapter.AllowRedirect && !adapter.MassProcess && created.Count > 0)
{
using (new PXTimeStampScope(null))
{
ie.Clear();
ie.Document.Current = ie.Document.Search<ARInvoice.docType, ARInvoice.refNbr>(((ARInvoice)created[0]).DocType, ((ARInvoice)created[0]).RefNbr, ((ARInvoice)created[0]).DocType);
throw new PXRedirectRequiredException(ie, "Invoice");
}
}

I've only recently started to work with KaaIoT and I am wondering if there is another way to store a log bucked to the server.
/* some headers */
static void main_callback(void *context)
{
kaa_user_log_record_t *log_record = kaa_logging_time_collection_create();
log_record->test_time = kaa_string_copy_create("some_time");
kaa_logging_add_record(kaa_client_get_context(context)->log_collector, log_record, NULL);
}
/* some other configuration */
error = kaa_client_start(kaa_client, main_callback, kaa_client, 5);
When I execute this code, the string "some_time" will be stored to the server every 5 seconds.
I was wondering if there was an other way to do this, like upload the log to the server when I press my 'enter' key? But I can't seem to find a command for this.
To my understanding kaa_logging_add_record, just add the record to the storing bucket waiting to be sent according to the logging strategy you have defined. (https://kaaproject.github.io/kaa/autogen-docs/client-c/v0.10.0/kaa__logging_8h.html#af0fadc09a50f5e38603271a08c581417) . The parameter 5 sec in kaa_client_start is only a delay to cycle the call back function. If you want to register an event, first you have to store it in the log bucket and the timestamp if you want to record at what time happened. If you want to notify at the moment, the I think you should use Notifications or Events. I am also scratching my head in something similar and I wonder if there is a better way.
I am working on sensenet API. I faced an issue with setPermission on sensenetAPI security.
As per concern, when I create a document I would like to give See, open, Save and RunApplication permission as a default for newly created document to the user(User is taken from the function parameter).
To achieve this I use below code
public static void SetCollabUserSecurity(string myUserEmailId, Node myNodetToSetSecurity)
{
var domainName = "Builtin";
var strUsername = GetNameFromEmail(myUserEmailId);
User user;
using (new SystemAccount())
{
user = User.Load(domainName, strUsername);
if (user != null && user.Enabled)
{
var myUser = user;
myNodetToSetSecurity.Security.SetPermission(myUser, true, PermissionType.See,
PermissionValue.Allow);
myNodetToSetSecurity.Security.SetPermission(myUser, true, PermissionType.Open,
PermissionValue.Allow);
myNodetToSetSecurity.Security.SetPermission(myUser, true, PermissionType.Save,
PermissionValue.Allow);
myNodetToSetSecurity.Security.SetPermission(myUser, true, PermissionType.RunApplication,
PermissionValue.Allow);
}
}
}
While I am using this function, my process for creating document becomes time consuming. It takes around 40 second time for execution.
So in case of, if I would like to share the same newly created document with multiple users, lets say there are 3 user and I want to give the above permission to all of them then my single function call takes 120 second (2 minute) time to simply assign permission.
Is there any Odata REST API call available or any sensenet library call available through which I can assign...
1) multiple permission to multiple user for single document or
2) multiple permission to single user for single document
Can anyone help to come out from this issue?
Thanks!
C# api
On the server there is a c# api for managing permissions, please check this article for details. You may use the AclEditor class for setting multiple permissions in one round. Please note that you have to call the Apply method at the end to actually perform the operation.
// set permissions on folder1, folder2 and file1 for two users and a group
SecurityHandler.CreateAclEditor()
.Allow(folder1.Id, user1.Id, false, PermissionType.Open, PermissionType.Custom01)
.Allow(folder2.Id, user2.Id, false, PermissionType.Open)
.Allow(file1.Id, editorsGroup.Id, false, PermissionType.Save)
.Apply();
As a side note: in most cases it is better to work with groups than users when assigning permissions. So it is advisable to give permissions to a group and put users into the group as members instead of assigning permissions to users directly.
Also: it is easier to maintain a simpler security structure, for example if you assign a permission on the parent container (e.g. a folder) instead of on individual files. Of course if you have to set permission per file, then it is fine.
OData api
The same api is available from the client through the REST api. Please take a look at the SetPermissions action in this article or the similar api in the JavaScript client library of sensenet.
Current Project:
ASP.NET 4.5.2
MVC 5
PayPal API
I am using this example to build myself a PayPal transaction (and yes, my code is virtually identical), as I do not know of any other method that will return the three values in the title.
My main problem is that, the example I am utilizing is much more concise and compact than the one I used for a much older Web Forms application, and as such, I am unsure as to where or even how to grab the three values I need.
My initial thought was to do so right after the ACK, and indeed I was able to obtain the CorrelationId as well as the TimeStamp, but because this was prior to the user being carted off to PayPal’s site (sandbox in this case -- see the return new PayPalRedirect contained within the if), the TransactionId was blank. And in this example, PayPal explicitly redirects the user to a Success page without returning to the Action that sent the user to PayPal in the first place, and I am not seeing any GET values in the URL at all aside from the Token and the PayerId, much less ones that could provide me with the TransactionId.
Suggestions?
I have also looked at the following examples:
For ASP.NET Core, was unsure how to adapt to my current project particularly due to appsettings.json, but it looked quite well done. I really liked how the values were rolled up in lists.
For MVC 4, but I couldn’t find where ACK was being used to determine success or successwithwarning so I couldn’t hook into that.
I have also found the PayPal content to be like trying to drink from a fire hose at full blast -- not only was the content was hopelessly outdated (Web Forms code, FTW!) but there was also so many different examples it would have taken me days to determine which one was most appropriate to use.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: my initial attempt at modifying the linked code has this portion:
values = Submit(values);
var ack = values["ACK"].ToLower();
if(ack == "success" || ack == "successwithwarning") {
using(_db = new ApplicationDbContext()) {
var updateOrder = await _db.Orders.FirstOrDefaultAsync(x => x.OrderId == order.OrderId);
if(updateOrder != null) {
updateOrder.OrderProcessed = false;
updateOrder.PayPalCorrelationId = values["CORRELATIONID"];
updateOrder.PayPalTransactionId = values["TRANSACTIONID"];
updateOrder.PayPalTimeStamp = values["TIMESTAMP"];
updateOrder.IPAddress = HttpContext.Current.Request.UserHostAddress;
_db.Entry(updateOrder).State = EntityState.Modified;
await _db.SaveChangesAsync();
}
}
return new PayPalRedirect {
Token = values["TOKEN"],
Url = $"https://{PayPalSettings.CgiDomain}/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_express-checkout&token={values["TOKEN"]}"
};
}
Everything within and including the using() is my added content. As I mentioned, the CorrelationId and the TimeStamp come through just fine, but I have yet to successfully obtain the TransactionId.
Edit 2:
More problems -- the transactions that are “successful” through the sandbox site (the ReturnUrl is getting called) aren’t reflecting properly on my Facilitator and Buyer accounts, even when I do payments straight from the buyer’s PayPal account (not using the Credit Card). I know I am supposed to see transactions in the Buyer’s account, either through the overall Dev account (Accounts -> Profile -> balance or Accounts -> Notifications) or through the Buyer’s account in the sandbox front end. And yet -- multiple transactions returning me to the ReturnUrl path, and yet no transactions in either.
Edit 3:
Okay, this is really, really weird. I have gone over all settings with a fine-toothed comb, and intentionally introduced errors to see where things should crap out. It turns out that the entire process goes swimmingly - except nothing shows up in my notifications and no amounts get moved between my different accounts (Facilitator and Buyer). It’s like all my transactions are going into /dev/null, yet the process is successful.
Edit 4: A hint!
In the sandbox, where Buyer accepts the transaction, there is a small note, “You will be able to review the transaction before completing it” or something like that -- suggesting that an additional page is not coming up and that the user is being uncerimoniously dumped back to the success page. Why the success page? No clue. But it’s happening.
It sounds like you are only doing the first part of the process.
Express Checkout consists of 3 API calls:
SetExpressCheckout
GetExpressCheckoutDetails
DoExpressCheckoutPayment
SEC generates a token, and then you redirect to PayPal where the user signs in and reviews the transactions before agreeing to pay.
They are then sent to the ReturnURL included in your SEC request, and this is where you'll call GECD in order to obtain all the buyer details that are now available since they signed in.
Using that data you can complete the final DECP request, which is what finalizes the procedure. No money is actually processed until this final call is completed successfully.
Short Version :
If an error is thrown during the execution of an SSRS report after the associated RDP temporary tables have been updated, the next time the report is run for the same parameters, code execution does not insert fresh data into said tables. Any idea why and how to prevent it?
Long Version :
I am trying to modify the run conditions of a standard report (SalesInvoiceReport) so that the original of any invoice can only be printed once. For all reprints, the "Copy preview" option should be used.
For the most part, the customization is working as intended. I used the CustInvoiceJour.PrintedOriginals field and the CustInvoiceJour.updatePrintedOriginals() (both part of Standard Ax) to maintain the number of originals that have been printed and a slight modification to the SalesInvoiceController.outputReport() method throw an error of an original is being re-printed. Below is the code added to achieve this :
...
// <A147> Code to disable reprints if an original is already printed
isOriginalPrintable = CustInvoiceJour::findRecId(custInvoiceJour.RecId).PrintedOriginals == 0;
srsPrintDestinationSettings = formLetterReport.getCurrentPrintSetting().parmPrintJobSettings();
//srsPrintMediumType = srsPrintDestinationSettings.printMediumType();
if ((printCopyOriginal == PrintCopyOriginal::Original || printCopyOriginal == PrintCopyOriginal::OriginalPrint))
{
// If no originals printed, allow prints.
// Need to re-read the CustInvoiceJour record from the table to get updated data
// If the Original is printed but the prin form is not refreshed, the form's recordset does not update to the latest data.
if(isOriginalPrintable)
{
CustInvoiceJour::updatePrinted(custInvoiceJour, (srsPrintDestinationSettings.numberOfCopies() == 0 ? 1 : srsPrintDestinationSettings.numberOfCopies()));
}
// Don't allow the original document to be printed more than once.
else
{
error(strFmt("#GLS223085", custInvoiceJour.InvoiceId, custInvoiceJour.InvoiceDate));
return;
}
}
// </A147>
...
I placed this in the SalesInvoiceContreller.outputReport() because I found similar code present there as part of standard Ax, albeit for use in specific country regions.
When user uses the Original Preview button, the error is thrown and code execution stops but the RDP temporary tables used to hold the report data have already been updated with report data (specifically the field which hold the Report title is set to Invoice).
When the user reruns the report, this time with the Copy Preview button, code execution somehow skips inserting fresh data into the temp tables (which would set the Report Title field to Invoice Copy) and the first copy output still says Invoice, defeating the requirement.
I'm working on a content dripper custom plugin in WordPress that my client asked me to build. He says he wants it to catch a page view event, and if it's the right time of day (24 hours since last post), to pull from a resource file and output another post. He needed it to also raise a flag and prevent other sessions from firing that same snippet of code. So, raise some kind of flag saying, "I'm posting that post, go away other process," and then it makes that post and releases the flag again.
However, the strangest thing is occurring when placed under load with multiple sessions hitting the site with page views. It's firing instead of one post -- it's randomly doing like 1, 2, or 3 extra posts, with each one thinking that it was the right time to post because it was 24 hours past the time of the last post. Because it's somewhat random, I'm guessing that the problem is some kind of write caching where the other sessions don't see the raised flag just yet until a couple microseconds pass.
The plugin was raising the "flag" by simply writing to the wp_options table with the update_option() API in WordPress. The other user sessions were supposed to read that value with get_option() and see the flag, and then not run that piece of code that creates the post because a given session was already doing it. Then, when done, I lower the flag and the other sessions continue as normal.
But what it's doing is letting those other sessions in.
To make this work, I was using add_action('loop_start','checkToAddContent'). The odd thing about that function though is that it's called more than once on a page, and in fact some plugins may call it. I don't know if there's a better event to hook. Even still, even if I find an event to hook that only runs once on a page view, I still have multiple sessions to contend with (different users who may view the page at the same time) and I want only one given session to trigger the content post when the post is due on the schedule.
I'm wondering if there are any WordPress plugin devs out there who could suggest another event hook to latch on to, and to figure out another way to raise a flag that all sessions would see. I mean, I could use the shared memory API in PHP, but many hosting plans have that disabled. Can't use a cookie or session var because that's only one single session. About the only thing that might work across hosting plans would be to drop a file as a flag, instead. If the file is present, then one session has the flag. If the file is not present, then other sessions can attempt to get the flag. Sure, I could use the file route, but it's kind of immature in my opinion and I was wondering if there's something in WordPress I could do.
The key may be to create a semaphore record in the database for the "drip" event.
Warning - consider the following pseudocode - I'm not looking up the functions.
When the post is queried, use a SQL statement like
$ts = get_time_now(); // or whatever the function is
$sid = session_id();
INSERT INTO table (postcategory, timestamp, sessionid)
VALUES ("$category", $ts, "$sid")
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM table WHERE postcategory = "$category"
AND timestamp < $ts - 24 hours)
Database integrity will make this atomic so only one record can be inserted.
and the insertion will only take place if the timespan has been exceeded.
Then immediately check to see if the current session_id() and timestamp are yours. If they are, drip.
SELECT sessionid FROM table
WHERE postcategory = "$postcategory"
AND timestamp = $ts
AND sessionid = "$sid"
The problem goes like this with page requests even from the same session (same visitor), but also can occur with page requests from separate visitors. It works like this:
If you are doing content dripping, then a page request is probably what you intercept with add_action('wp','myPageRequest'). From there, if a scheduled post is due, then you create the new post.
The post takes a little bit of time to write to the database. In that time, a query on get_posts() may not see that new record yet. It may actually trigger your piece of code to create a new post when one has already been placed.
The fix is to force WordPress to flush the write cache appears to be this:
try {
$asPosts = array();
$asPosts = # wp_get_recent_posts(1);
foreach($asPosts as $asPost) {break;}
# delete_post_meta($asPost['ID'], '_thwart');
# add_post_meta($asPost['ID'], '_thwart', '' . date('Y-m-d H:i:s'));
} catch (Exception $e) {}
$asPosts = array();
$asPosts = # wp_get_recent_posts(1);
foreach($asPosts as $asPost) {break;}
$sLastPostDate = '';
# $sLastPostDate = $asPost['post_date'];
$sLastPostDate = substr($sLastPostDate, 0, strpos($sLastPostDate, ' '));
$sNow = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
$sNow = substr($sNow, 0, strpos($sNow, ' '));
if ($sLastPostDate != $sNow) {
// No post today, so go ahead and post your new blog post.
// Place that code here.
}
The first thing we do is get the most recent post. But we don't really care if it's not the most recent post or not. All we're getting it for is to get a single Post ID, and then we add a hidden custom field (thus the underscore it begins with) called
_thwart
...as in, thwart the write cache by posting some data to the database that's not too CPU heavy.
Once that is in place, we then also use wp_get_recent_posts(1) yet again so that we can see if the most recent post is not today's date. If not, then we are clear to drip some content in. (Or, if you want to only drip in like every 72 hours, etc., you can change this a little here.)
