I'm working in this new company, and they are using ARM with progress Databases. I'm trying to make a webapp where I can insert data on the Progress DB and also select and show data from this DB.
I tried some PhP, but then I learned that PhP does not work with Progress. I have never used Webspeed or even Progress.
Progress' documentation can be found here:
https://community.progress.com/community_groups/openedge_general/w/openedgegeneral/1329.openedge-product-documentation-overview
And the knowledgebase is here:
https://knowledgebase.progress.com/pkb_Home
There are also community forums that are pretty good for unstructured q&a conversations at:
https://community.progress.com/community_groups/openedge_development/f/19
or if you prefer vendor independent sources:
https://www.progresstalk.com/
and
https://openedge.slack.com
If you have a specific question that fits the stackoverflow model it is helpful to use tags like "openedge", "progress-db", "progress-4gl", and "webspeed". Plain old "progress" gets you lumped in with a questions that are mostly about "progress bars" and such.

I want to create a product/project documentation in R that is going to be reviewed and discussed by a group of reviews. There are plenty of examples of how to create book-like documents using Rmarkdown (e.g. https://bookdown.org/) or interactive data visualizations using R-shiny. However, I could not find any solution for user comments similar to LibreOffice Writer, MS Word, or Google Docs. I could also imagine having a split-pane where one side is dedicated to the content presentation (e.g. text, graphs, code), while the other side is left for comments.
I am aware that such a solution requires a server-side solution for storing comments.
Any hints on existing solutions, workarounds, and implementations are welcome.
If I correctly understood, your question isn't very R specific. R is just code, R files are just text and they don't allow comments (beside the raw hashtag comments) and reviews. Your question is more about version control environments, that allow reviews on code stuff. The most used version control system is git, and git has an integrated panel in RStudio.
Git allows you to split your developpements in branches, which are the different ideas you and your coworkers can work on independentely. Once an idea is finalised, after some consecutive modifications known as commits, it is to be asked for merge in the "main branch". It is a "pull request".
That is where the different platform using git, like GitHub or GitLab, allow some review systems. Basically, when a branch is done, you ask "is that ok ?". Your reviewer can see the changes, can try you things, and tell if that is actually ok.
The other advantage of these is the continuous integration, that is : elaborating tests (in R with testthat) that will be tested on some events merge, like "on each merge to master". It is meant to ensure that the software is going forward : if a merge breaks some earlier test, you'll know it.
For beginners, in order to avoid being lost in bash commands, GitHub Desktop is a fine GUI above Git.
Note : You can also rely on the package usethis which has a few helper functions like use_git, use_gitlab_ci, use_github_action... It's not specific to reviews and comments but to the gitlab and github integration
I am currently working on SAP Scripting with Python and I would like to ask you for an alternative way of getting the ID of an object.
I saw that the scripting tracker from Stefan Schnell would be perfect for this but unfortunately, I am working on my company-notebook on this topic (for bachelor-thesis) and Windows Defender is blocking the .exe
Since it would be quite hard to get my admin to amend my permissions, I thought maybe it is possible to get the ID from the information in "technical settings" from SAP itself.
According to an old quora-post this should be possible (https://www.quora.com/How-can-I-obtain-SAP-ID-Objects-to-write-SAP-Scripts-when-SAP-Script-Recording-is-disabled-in-my-company-Is-there-a-software-to-read-buttons-tabs-and-fields-names-IDs)
what I am having trouble with, is how to "translate" this information properly to make python understand it. According to the quora post, I have tried things like this:
session.FindById('wnd[0]/usr/SAPLMEGUI:1211/EMATN/MEPO1211-EMATN').text = "test"
which unfortunately did not work.
I'm researching different products for my organization. We are looking for a solution that will replace our current text mining software - DataWatch Monarch. We need some type of software that will be able to extract only relevant data from PDF reports and prepare it to be stored in a database.
DataWatch is causing a bottleneck for our organization due to learning curve and limitations. I started to try and do this just by programming using R, however, we need a more streamlined approach.
If you know of any easy to use, highly effective, text miners or report-text-extractor-like software please share. I will be looking into Scribe Software, SiMX, RapidMiner, and some others.
RapidMiner can extract info from PDFs no problem using the Text Processing extension. Start with the Read Document operator and go from there.
Storing in a database is also straightforward - set up your database connection in the "Manage Database Connections" menu and then use the "Write Database" operator.
I am still exploring the topic of migration and would like to know what are the best methods to migrate from a custom written PHP/MySQL system to Drupal 7.
The data that needs to be migrated is in three tables (Journals, Journal Issues and Issue Articles).
The organization publishes several journals, each journal has several issues and each issue has several articles.
This is the data structure:
Journal has: title/description/language/abstract
Issue has : title/journal_id/issue_number/real_issue_number/quarter/year/volume_year/volume_issue_number
article has: title/author/abstract/section/issue_number/pdf_file/featured/tags
Should I use the migration module, the feeds module or should I write my own PHP script to migrate data to a custom created content type ? Any tutorials which describes how to migrate data from a database to Drupal (Not just upgrading).
Thanks!
I think this depends on how good your knowledge of coding in Drupal is; I always write my own solution for an import because I like to have full control over the quality of the incoming data (especially for fields that contain HTML, I like to ensure the code is correct and strip out any tags/attributes I don't want to keep).
Using the migrate module would involve a small learning curve which I don't think is strictly necessary if you're comfortable with creating content in code, although it is an extremely powerful module and I'd recommend reading the documentation to see if it's something you want to use.
Similarly the feeds module will require a small bit of extra reading/learning if you want to use it programatically (see the documentation). But, if you can fully trust that the data you're importing is of a sufficient quality then I think the feeds UI would be the easiest way to get your content in.
I can see where to get an rss feed for the BUG LIST, however I would like to get rss updates for modifications to current bugs if possible.
This is quite high up when searching via Google for it, so I'm adding a bit of advertisement here:
As Bugzilla still doesn't support this I wrote a small web service supporting exactly this. You can find its source code here and a running instance here.
What you're asking for is the subject of this enhancement bug:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=256718
but no one seems to be working on it.
My first guess is that the way to do it is to add a template somewhere like template/en/default/bug/show.atom.tmpl with whatever you need. Put it in custom or an extension as needed.
If you're interested in working on it or helping someone with it, visit channel #mozwebtools on irc.mozilla.org.
Not a perfect solution, but with the resolution of bug #255606, Bugzilla now allows listing all bugs, by running a search with no criteria, and you can then get the results of the search in Atom format using the link in the bottom of the list.
From the release notes for 4.2:
Configuration: A new parameter search_allow_no_criteria has been added (default: on) which allows admins to forbid queries with no criteria. This is particularly useful for large installations with several tens of thousands bugs where returning all bugs doesn't make sense and would have a performance impact on the database.
