Pass search strategy to filter from rest URI - symfony

First time using api-platform and Symfony 4 to create an API interface for a MySQL db.
I'm updating an old search interface for the db for which I need to replicate many of the search options. This includes being able to search on a given field using various matching operators/strategies. e.g. starts with, contains exactly equals, etc.
I've set everything up for the api using Annotations.
The #ApiFilter(SearchFilter::class, properties={"fieldname": "strategy"} annotation on my table class works as designed, but I am limited to one-and-only-one strategy per field. I need to be able to pass the strategy to the api search function in the url. something like:
/api/staff?lastname[start]=dav
or
/api/staff?lastname=david&match=contains
or
/api/staff/lastname/son?searchtype=end
would be fine.
I can't figure out how to set this up. Shockingly, to me anyway, this common requirement doesn't seem to be documented at all.

The file CustomSearchFilter.php located at the repo https://github.com/jordonedavidson/custom_search_filter solves this use-case using the
/api/staff?lastname[start]=dav
syntax.
The file was written by Kévin Dunglas (the author of Api Platform) and is presented with his blessing.

Searching a DICOM server for metadata

I want to search the DICOM server. if for example user enters a patient id to serach, then my app populate a table with all the metadata relating to that id , such as id, name, accession number e.tc. if tha study id exists in the dicom server, How can this be done using dcm4chee kit. –
You can use dcm4che3 tool dcm4che-tool-findscu. This code shows you how to do a C-FIND against a PACS (or whatever implementing C-FIND as SCP).
FindSCU.java is quite clear, take a while and don't get missed through Apache Commons CLI code to understand input from console. Most of CLI management code is not in this project, but you can find it in the dcm4che3 tool dcm4che-tool-common project, org.dcm4che3.tool.common.CLIUtils.java class.
Take into account following considerations:
Specify the search level of Query/Retrieve. You can use several search levels in order to match attributes into a PACS. If you look at lines 260:265 of FindSCU.java, you will see that you can manage four different levels: PATIENT|STUDY|SERIES|IMAGE.This will instruct C-FIND SCP how to search matching attributes.
Tell C-FIND SCP what attributes do you want to retrieve. If you want to search studies to be retrieved later, you must ask for 0020, 000D Study​InstanceUID tag.
Of course, add all attributes that you want to populate your table.
Use retrieved 0020, 000D Study​InstanceUID tag value to do the C-GET/C-MOVE operation.
You can see how to configure attribute keys to do C-FIND SCU into CLIUtils.java class that is part of dcm4che3 tool dcm4che-tool-common project. See CLIUtils.addAttributes(Attributes, String[]).
Hope it helps!
Edit
Due to you comment you are using dcm4che2 and that you already have a DicomObject with the search result, if you want to obtain metadata from this DicomObject you must parse it before, using DicomInputStream, and then you can use getXXXX(Tag) from BasiDicomObject, something like this:
DicomObject dcmObj;
DicomInputStream dis = null;
dis = new DicomInputStream(file);
dcmObj = dis.readDicomObject();
String someVar = dcmObj.getString(Tag.SeriesInstanceUID);
Keep in mind, some attributes are inside sequences, and thus you have to search it before.
You can also take a look into dcm4che-tool-dcm2txt, you will see Dcm2Txt.java and in lines 170 and so on, there is how to parse whole dicom object.
If you need some general description about the DICOM network protocol, you could read the "Understanding DICOM with Orthanc" guide, and more specifically the section about C-Find.

how to write syntax for key value fair symfony console

I want to update inventory based on sku.
For example
php magento update_inventory --sku&quantity=array(1001,10) --sku&quantity=array(1002,20) --sku&quantity=array(1003,30)
But I’m not getting how to add options/arguments ?
here user at least need to provide one pair (sku& quantity).
for this i think i have to use ArrayInput class/InputArgument/InputOption.
Can you give some solution or reference to above requirement?
Have you looked at how Magento\Setup\Console\Command\AdminUserCreateCommand uses options? Take a look at how that code uses getOptionsList in the configure method. For your use case you may want to look into using InputOption::VALUE_IS_ARRAY
A good reference will be http://symfony.com/doc/current/components/console/introduction.html#using-command-options
You may also want to consider a different input format. For example using arguments instead of options and specifying the format in documentation.
php magento update_inventory 1001:10 1002:20 1003:30

Open direct links to AX-objects or datasets from external application

Is there a way to open a specified document, eg "production order 123" or form, eg "purchase orders" in Ax2012 from an external application directly?
In detail, I'm looking for something similiar like AXPath, but this doesn't work with versions greater then 2009.
Is there any ( maybe included ) way to achieve this?
There is! It's using AX's drilldown functionality which uses AxHLink.exe to handle dynamics:// URLs, which are passed to the Classes\SysStartupCmd function. You could also create some custom code there if you wanted to launch the AX client executable directly.
My question I asked some while back should have a great deal of useful information in it here:
What handles dynamics:// URLs?
Some more can be found: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa834337.aspx
EDIT:
It sounds like you are confused or the posts weren't clear enough. I think you have 3 basic options.
Dynamics:// URLs are handled by AxHLink.exe and they only seem to handle drilldown, viewalert, and viewalertrule. So if you want to use Dynamics:// URLs, you will need to hi-jack those somehow. There is a pastbin from Jan in that other stack post.
Create a custom URI handler and event poller (lot of work) see http://axcoder.blogspot.dk/2010/10/how-to-open-form-in-running-ax-from.html
Extend SysStartupCmd and then instead of using Dynamics:// URLs, just call Ax32.exe -startupCmd directly and a parameter can be passed to your custom class.

How to format Alfresco'API parameter activityFilter in servce user activities feed ?

I need to use that api : http://docs.alfresco.com/4.0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.alfresco.enterprise.doc%2Freferences%2FRESTful-FeedUserfeedGet.html
What I don't know is how to format activityFilter parameter ? What kind of things can I filter ? I'd like to set a max number of results, is it possible ?
I don't know where to find the documentation.
Thank you.
Mathieu.
I don't know where/if the list is documented, but it isn't hard to find out the values you are looking for...
The first place to go is the Web Script Index, which is:
http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/index
From there you can find that web script, click on its ID, and see its declaration, any accompanying documentation, and, often, the code of the web script controller.
In this case, the controller is Java-based, so you can get its class and go look at that in the source.
Often, that's not convenient. So the next thing to do is to realize that Alfresco Share makes use of the same web script. If you turn on Firebug and go to the Alfresco Share Global Dashboard you can see the activity feed dashlet. As you change the second dropdown (the one that defaults to "all items") you will see your browser doing GETs against that web script. By choosing the various choices available in the dashlet, you'll see that the values it uses to filter activities are:
org.alfresco.comments.comment-created
org.alfresco.comments.comment-updated
org.alfresco.documentlibrary.file-added
org.alfresco.documentlibrary.file-deleted
org.alfresco.documentlibrary.file-updated
org.alfresco.documentlibrary.files-added
org.alfresco.documentlibrary.files-deleted
org.alfresco.documentlibrary.files-updated
org.alfresco.profile.status-changed
org.alfresco.site.user-joined
org.alfresco.site.user-left
org.alfresco.site.user-role-changed
You can pass more than one of these at-a-time to the web script by separating each with an escaped comma (%2C).
There may be more filters available, but those are the ones used by the activity feed dashlet on the global dashboard.

Yahoo Pipes - Build an RSS-URL using specific parameters pulled from another RSS feed's content

The main Data Type used by Yahoo Pipes is the [Item], which is RSS feed content. I want to take an RSS's content or sub-element, make it into [Text] (or a number might work), and then use it as an INPUT into a [Module] to build a RSS-URL with specific parameters. I will then use the new RSS-URL to pull more content.
Could possibly use the [URL Builder Module] or some work-around.
The key here is using "dynamic" data from an RSS feed (not user input, or a static data), and getting that data into a Data Type that is compatible (and/or accessible) as an INPUT into a module.
It seems like a vital functionality, but I cannot figure it out. I have tried many, many work-around attempts, with no success.
The Specific API and Methods (if you are interested)
Using the LastFM API.
1st Method: user.getWeeklyChartList. Then pick the "from" (start) and "to" (end) Unix timestamps from 1 year-ago-today.
2nd Method: user.getWeeklyAlbumChart using those specific (and "dynamic") timestamps to pull my top albums for that week.
tl;dr. Build an RSS-URL using specific parameters from another RSS feed's content.
I think I may have figured it out. I doubt it is the best way, but it works. The problem was the module I needed to use didn't have and input node. But the Loop module has an input node, so if I embed the URL builder into the Loop module I can then access sub-element content from the 1st feed to use as parameters to build the URL for the 2nd feed! Then I can just scrap all the extra stuff generated by the Loop, by using Truncate.
