Is there any way possible that I can extarct worklog(work info) from BMC Remedy User for a set of Incident ID using macro. I have extracted all the fields except "Worklog". Allthough I get the information that This is a known issue and is on our Enhancements Requests list to be addressed. Source -Link
So is there any way possible. Any type of information is highly acceptable.
Thanks
Worklog is a related table, the field on the Incident form does not store any information. You'll need to query the HPD:Worklog form:
You can also post the question in the BMCDN communities, you will get more people looking at your questions.

There's no way I know of using a macro. Macros have been deprecated. So I'd recommend avoiding use of macros in any new code. When I need to write code that extracts worklog information, I typically use an Active Link or Filter with a Set Fields action.

My table is (device, type, value, timestamp), where (device,type,timestamp) makes a unique combination ( a candidate for composite key in non-DynamoDB DBMS).
My queries can range between any of these three attributes, such as
GET (value)s from (device) with (type) having (timestamp) greater than <some-timestamp>
I'm using dynamoosejs/dynamoose. And from most of the searches, I believe I'm supposed to use a combination of the three fields (as a single field ; device-type-timestamp) as id. However the set: function of Schema doesn't let me use the object properties (such as this.device) and due to some reasons, I cannot do it externally.
The closest I got (id:uuidv4:hashKey, device:string:GlobalSecIndex, type:string:LocalSecIndex, timestamp:Date:LocalSecIndex)
and
(id:uuidv4:rangeKey, device:string:hashKey, type:string:LocalSecIndex, timestamp:Date:LocalSecIndex)
and so on..
However, while using a Query, it becomes difficult to fetch results of particular device,type as the id, (hashKey or rangeKey) keeps missing from the scene.
So the question. How would you do it for such kind of table?
And point to be noted, this table is meant to gather content from IoT devices, which is generated every 5 mins by each device on an average.
I'm curious why you are choosing DynamoDB for this task. Advanced queries like this seem to be much better suited for a SQL based database as opposed to a NoSQL database. Due to the advanced nature of SQL queries, this task in my experience is a lot easier in SQL databases. So I would encourage you to think about if DynamoDB is truly the right system for what you are trying to do here.
If you determine it is, you might have to restructure your data a little bit. You could do something like having a property that is device-type and that will be the device and type values combined. Then set that as an index, and query based on that and sort by the timestamp, and filter out the results that are not greater than the value you want.
You are correct that currently, Dynamoose does not pass in the entire object into the set function. This is something that personally I'm open to exploring. I'm a member on the GitHub project, and if you would like to submit a PR adding that feature I would be more than happy to help explore that option with you and get that into the codebase.
The other thing you might want to explore is having a DynamoDB stream, that will set that device-type property whenever it gets added to your DynamoDB table. That would abstract that logic out of DynamoDB and your application. I'm not sure if it's necessary for what you are doing to decouple it to that level, but it might be something you want to explore.
Finally, depending on your setup, you could figure out which item will be more unique, device or type, and setup an index on that property. Then just query based on that, and filter out the results of the other property that you don't want. I'm not sure if that is what you are looking for, it will of course work, but I'm not sure how many items you will have in your table, and there get to be questions about scalability at a certain level. One way to solve some of those scalability questions might be to set the TTL of your items if you know that you the timestamp you are querying for is constant, or predictable ahead of time.
Overall there are a lot of ways to achieve what you are looking to do. Without more detail about how many items, what exactly those properties will be doing, the amount of scalability you require, which of those properties will be most unique, etc. it's hard to give a good solution. I would highly encourage you to think about if NoSQL is truly the best way to go. That query you are looking to do seems a LOT more like a SQL query. Not saying it's impossible in DynamoDB, but it will require some thought about how you want to structure your data model, and such.
Considering opinion of #charlie-fish, I decided to jump into Dynamoose and improvise the code to pass the model to the set function of the attribute. However, I discovered that the model is already being passed to default parameter of the attribute. So I changed my Schema to the following:
id:hashKey;default: function(model){ return model.device + "" + model.type; }
timestamp:rangeKey
For anyone landing here on this answer, please note that the default & set functions can access attribute options & schema instance using this . However both those functions should be regular functions, rather than arrow functions.
Keeping this here as an answer, but I won't accept it as an answer to my question for sometime, as I want to wait for someone else to hit out a better approach.
I also want to make sure that if a value is passed for id field, it shouldn't be set. For this I can use set to ignore the actual incoming value, which I don't know how, as of yet.
All, Forgive me I am a newbie in the DICOM world. I tried to learn the DCMTk tools to talk with PACS server. But didn't found much tutorial or sample in the internet to know enough about it .Currently I just have the offical document to read.
I just tried the findscu.exe to test c-find command .
I remembered C-Find would return what specified in the request message. for example. If I only specifed the condition Patient Name ='abc' then the reponse would return only attribute Patient Name. Nothing else.( If it is not right . Please correct me.)
So I want to know how to return all the attribute of response DICOM.
Thanks.
How to specified multiple attributes in the findscu command.
Just specify multiple --key (-k) options on the command line. Alternatively, you could also use a "query file" as described in the man page.
So I want to know how to return all the attribute of response DICOM.
Then, you have to specify all attributes (keys) you are interested in. That's how C-FIND works.
By the way, if you are querying a PACS (Query/Retrieve SCP), then you also have to specify the Query/Retrieve Level (0008,0052), e.g. "PATIENT".
Currently I just have the offical document to read.
If you think that the examples in the man page of the findscu tool are not sufficient (and you are actually querying a PACS), this HOWTO might be useful too.
It is totally legal to send a request with Patient Name information only and the PACS will return all matching datasets.
Each dataset should at least contain all mandatory fields like Date of Birth, Patient ID, and so on, depending on the Query Level.
What information is returned by the PACS system on each Query Level should be specified in the DICOM Conformance Statement of the vendor. I would recommend to take a look at this to know, how to set up a valid query to get the information you need and/or if the information is provided by the PACS system.
It is best to include the Unique key and Required Key Attributes in the request attribute list. Also, include the optional attributes (if supported by SCP) when you wish server to return values for them. Please refer to DICOM Standard PS 3.4 section C.2 and C.3 detail information on Query/Retrieve service. List of attribute and type (Unique, Required, Optional) is listed section C.6.1.1.2 (Patient Level), C.6.1.1.3 (Study Level) and so on.
As per REST framework, we can access resources using GET method, which is fine, if i know key my resource. For example, for getting transaction, if i pass transaction_id then i can get my resource for that transaction. But when i want to access all transactions between two dates, then how should i write my REST method using GET.
For getting transaciton of transaction_id : GET/transaction/id
For getting transaction between two dates ???
Also if there are other conditions, i need to put like latest 10 transactions, oldest 10 transaction, then how should i write my URL, which is main key in REST.
I tried to look on google but not able to find a way which is completely RESTful and solve my queries, so posting my question here. I have clear understanding of POST and DELETE, but if i want to do same update using PUT for some resource based on condition, then how to do it?
There are collection and item resources in REST.
If you want to get a representation of an item, you usually use an unique identifier:
/books/123
/books/isbn:32t4gf3e45e67 (not a valid isbn)
or with template
`/books/{id}
/books/isbn:{isbn}
If you want to get a representation of a collection, or a reduced collection you use the unique identifier of the collection and add some filters to it:
/books/since:{fromDate}/to:{toDate}/
/books/?since="{fromDate}"&to="{toDate}"
the filters can go into the path or into the queryString part of the url.
In the response you should add links with these URLs (aka HATEOAS), which the REST clients can follow. You should use link relations, for example IANA link relations to describe those links, and linked data, for example schema.org or to describe the data in your representation. There are other vocabs as well, for example GoodRelations, and ofc. you can write your own vocab as well for your application.
I have a scenario where I need to search for cars by keywords using a single search field. The keywords can relate to any of the car's attributes for e.g. the make or the model or the body style. In the database there is a table named 'Car' with foreign keys referencing tables that represent models or makes or body style.
What would be the best way of doing this? Specifically, How should I take the query from user(must support exact phrase search, or, and) and how do I actually do the search.
I am using SQL Server and ASP.NET 3.5 (Data access using LINQ)
Easily the best and most comprehensive article on the subject : http://www.sommarskog.se/dyn-search-2005.html
Regardless of which implementation you pick from Aaron's article, I always log the search criteria and execution time in this situation. Just because you provide search flexibility, it doesn't mean most users will make use of it. You usally find most searches occur on a limited number of fields and logging the search criteria will allow you to create targetted indexes.
I'm using ASP.net and an SQL database. I have a blog like system where a number of comments are made against a post and I want to display the number of those comments next to the post. To get that number I could either hold it in the post record and add/subtrack when a comment is added or deleted or I could use the SQL to calculate the number of comments using a query each time a user hits the page. The latter seems to be a bad idea as its going to hit my SQL database harder however holding the number against the record feels like it could be error prone. What do you think is best coding practice in this case?
Always start with a normalized database (your second option). Only denormalize if you have an absolute necessity for performance reasons. Designing it in the denormalized way (which is error-prone as you guessed) is premature optimization. With proper indexes it should be fine calculating the number on the fly.
I think the SQL statement should be fine. The other is duplication of data you already have. A count query should be quick.
Don't optimize prematurely. Use the simple solution and pagefault in optimizations only when they're needed.
I would query the database each time you want the information. I would revisit it later if you find that performance is lacking (optimize later). For the traffic most blog type applications will get, that should be sufficient.
Perhaps get the count back as part of the main thread query so as to limit the number of hits on the actual DB from the webserver. But I would always query the actual count and not try and keep it in a field, data will eventually get out of sync as that is reality.
To increase performance, you could keep a flag in the main table to indicate if the item has any comments but only use this as a 'hint' as to whether or not to perform an additional query to count and retrieve comments at a later time.
Imagine a photo gallery that returns 50 photos to rotate through. Each photo could have its own comments.
The initial page load would return a list of photos plus a flag indicating if a photo has comments.
When a photo is displayed, if the comments flag is set to True, your app would make an ajax request to count and fetch the comments for that photo.
If only 3 out of the 50 photos have comments, you just saved yourself 47 additional requests!
This does denormalize the data, but on a limited level.
Creating hints can really help improve performance for very busy sites.
Depending on how your data model looks...Don't add the total post count to the main thread record, it is error prone, you should calculate the comment count when needed based on the thread ID, IMHO
Caching the pages and updating that cache as comments are added/removed would be a good option a long with the SQL count query if you are that worried about the number of queries happening against the db..
I usually use an indexed view for this kind of thing. This allows you to denormalize the data for quick retrieval, but there is no way for it to get out of sync. Folks will also not be confused and think the view is the master of the data. I have mostly used the standard sku of SS2K5, so I have to specify the (noexpand) hint to get it to actually use the index on the view (enterprise will do it automatically). So for standard sku, I always create a wrapper view that everyone hits so I know the hint is always in place.
Coding this on the web page, so hopefully no syntax errors ;)
create view postCount__
as
select
threadId
,postCount=count_big(*)
from thread
group by threadId
go
create unique clustered index postCount__xpk_threadid on postCount__(threadId)
go
create view postCount
as
select
threadId
,postCount=cast(postCount as int)
from postCount__ with (noexpand)
go
So I use a nomenclature on the actual indexed view to let everyone know not to query it directly. Instead they look for the associated wrapper view that enforces the noexpand hint. Using an indexed view forces you to do count_big, so I often cast down to int in the wrapper view to be able to keep our asp.net code lazily using 32 bit ints. It would be better to omit the cast, but it hasn't been of any significant impact for me.
EDIT - I can tell you that forum software always denormalizes the post count to the thread table. It kills the DB to continually count the post count on every page view if you have an active forum. I love that mssql has indexed views so you can define the denormalization declaratively rather than maintain it yourself.
