StructureGroup Details using the Content Delivery/Broker API - tridion

I am trying to get all the structure groups published in a given publication using the PublicationID. I am expecting to get the structure groups with StructureGroupCriteria by passing the Root Structure Group TCM ID but getting page ids (I am expecting SGs).
Now I am trying to loop through the list and get details of each structuregroup. I did not find any API (.net) to get these details and also the API is returning only Pages.
What I have done and working so far using StructureGroupCriteria, returns list of Page IDs instead of SG IDs
PublicationCriteria pubCriteria = new PublicationCriteria(pubID);
// Root StructureGroup TCM ID -- tcm:45-3-4
StructureGroupCriteria sgCriteria = new StructureGroupCriteria("tcm:45-3-4", true);
Criteria allSGsInPub = CriteriaFactory.And(pubCriteria, sgCriteria);
Query allSGs = new Query(allSGsInPub);
string[] sgInfo = allSGs.ExecuteQuery();
Response.Write("Total : " + sgInfo.Length);
foreach (string sgid in sgInfo ) {
// HOW DO I get the Structure Group Details here
//TCMURI sgURI = new TCMURI(sgid);
}
Q # 1 : How to get the all the structuregroups and individual structure group details? (May be something simple, I am not able to find right API).
Q # 2 : How can I get all the structuregroups using ItemTypeCriteria sgCriteria = new ItemTypeCriteria(4); // 4 is SG Item Type .
When I tried this option, the query worked successfully but no results returned. Is this the expected behavior and should we always use StructureGroupCriteria instead of ItemTypeCriteria?
The reason for this approach, I want to avoid using the Root StructureGroup ID which is required with the above code. But at the moment, none of the approaches returning StructureGroup information and I always get Page Information.
Tridion Version: 2011 SP1, .net API.
Note: When I publish I am checking the publish SG info checkbox and published successfully. On Broker DB side, I can see the information on the taxnonomy table as well.

I was playing with Odata service and accidentally I found that I can get all my structure group information from Odata web service.
/cd_webservice/odata.svc/StructureGroups?$filter=PublicationId%20eq%2045
Also, the results are returning child structure groups with a depth parameter.
Just to clarify , using Broker API it is not feasible to get the structure groups (my original question). However, the workaround solution is to use OData Service to get the Structure Groups.

I don't think you will get Structure Groups returned by the Query object.
According to the documentation, when you publish Structure Group information the Structure Group hierarchy is published to the Content Delivery side where it is stored as a taxonomy.
Have you tried using the Taxonomy APIs to get the information you need?

Microsoft Custom Vision - Deleting a iteration doesn't delete images associated with it

On the Microsoft Custom Vision documentation there is this Note: "...When you delete an iteration, you end up deleting any images that are uniquely associated with it."
But when I use the Python trainer.delete_iteration(project_id, iteration.id) my images that are uniquely associated with the last trained iteration are not deleted.
Do I need to do something else or this is not working?
The documentation may need to be updated. Looking at the source code for the delete_iteration method it looks like it just sends the DELETE request to the iteration URL:
delete_iteration.metadata = {'url': '/projects/{projectId}/iterations/{iterationId}'}
url = self.delete_iteration.metadata['url']
path_format_arguments = {
'projectId': self._serialize.url("project_id", project_id, 'str'),
'iterationId': self._serialize.url("iteration_id", iteration_id, 'str')
}
url = self._client.format_url(url, **path_format_arguments)
request = self._client.delete(url, query_parameters)
response = self._client.send(request, header_parameters, stream=False, **operation_config)
So, in order to delete the associated images, it looks like you would need to use the delete_images method as well.

Getting ProjectBOs from CatalogCategoryBO returns different results based on BusinessObjectRepositoryContext

We are trying to get all ProductBOs from CatalogCategoryBO with following code:
final CatalogBORepository catalogBORepository = applicationBO.getRepository("CatalogBORepository");
final CatalogCategoryBO catalogCategoryBO = catalogBORepository.getCatalogBOByCatalogName(catalogName).getCatalogCategoryBOByName(catalogCategoryName);
final CatalogCategoryBOCommonProductAssignmentExtension assignmentExtension = catalogCategoryBO.getExtension(CatalogCategoryBOCommonProductAssignmentExtension.class);
return assignmentExtension.getSortedProducts(applicationBO.getDefaultLocale());
But this does not always work as expected. After debugging I found out that main reason is BusinessObjectRepositoryContext:
((BusinessObjectRepositoryContext)catalogCategoryBO.getContext().getVariable("CurrentBusinessObjectRepositoryContext");
which is different based on location from which we call given method (organization or channel).
The same problem is described here: https://support.intershop.com/kb/index.php/Display/IS-22604
Is there some workaround or better way to get all assigned ProductBOs from CatalogCategoryBO?
We are using Intershop B2C version 7.9.1.2.
One possibility is to call pipeline for getting products as suggested by Willem Evertse, another one is to fetch CatalogBORepository and CatalogCategoryBO within block of:
try (ApplicationContext applicationContext = application.forceApplicationContext()) {
// your code here
}
https://support.intershop.com/kb/index.php/Display/2X3516#Concept-ApplicationFramework-TheExecutionContextofanApplication
Yes, this is because the business objects can have different implementations depending on the context (application).
If you look at how the rest api does it (see ProductListResource) they call the ProductHandler (see ProductHandlerImpl) method:
getProducts(Domain currentChannel, CatalogCategoryBO category, String searchTerm, String localeId,...)
Only the category parameter is mandatory it seems, the other parameters can be null. The added benefit is that this code will call the Solr index (if u have it enabled) so it should perform better than running a query on the database (which is also a possibility).

Dealing with numbers using Spring ExampleMatcher

I am new to Java and Spring, and I am building a sytem using Spring JPA. I am now working on my service and controller classes, and I would like to create a dynamic query. I have created a form, in which the user can enter values in the fields, or leave them blank. I then use example matcher to create an example based on non null fields and query objects in the database that match non null fields of the object.
It is working fine with Strings, and it works ok with numbers, in case the number entered by the user is matching the number in the database. What I would like to ask the community is: how can we, using Spring ExampleMatcher, add logic so that the query relating to numbers is not Select * from Projects where project.return = 10 but for instance Select * from Projects where project.return >=10?
It is a pretty basic question, but I have looked everywhere on the web, and I could not find an answer. All sources that I found said that ExampleMatcher deals only with Strings, but I find that strange that such a powerful system does not have a logic to deal with higherthan / lowerthan number type of criteria.
My code for the example matcher:
ExampleMatcher matcher = ExampleMatcher.matching()
.withIgnoreNullValues()
.withIgnoreCase()
.withIgnorePaths("projectId", "businessPlans", "projectReturn", "projectAddress.addressId")
I would like to add something like:
.withMatcher("projectAmountRaised", IsMoreThan(Long.parseLong()));
What I would have loved to have, but it is deprecated:
public static List getStockDailyRecordCriteria(Date startDate,Date endDate,
Long volume,Session session){
Criteria criteria = session.createCriteria(StockDailyRecord.class);
if(startDate!=null){
criteria.add(Expression.ge("date",startDate));
}
if(endDate!=null){
criteria.add(Expression.le("date",endDate));
}
if(volume!=null){
criteria.add(Expression.ge("volume",volume));
}
criteria.addOrder(Order.asc("date"));
return criteria.list();
}
I am thus looking for something similar... I could create a broad results list from just Strings criteria using ExampleMatcher, and then write my own logic to delete objects that do not fit number criteria, but I am sure there is a more elegant approach.
Thank you a lot for your help, and for your indulgence!
This is how you can use QBE and pageable with additional filters:
ExampleMatcher matcher = UntypedExampleMatcher.matching()
.withIgnoreCase()
.withIgnorePaths("startDate");
MyDao probe = new MyDao()
final Example<MyDao> example = Example.of(probe, matcher);
Query q = new Query(new Criteria().alike(example)).with(pageable);
q.addCriteria(Criteria.where("startDate").gte(probe.getStartDate()));
List<MyDao> list = mongoTemplate.find(q, example.getProbeType(), "COLLECTION_NAME");
PageableExecutionUtils.getPage(list, pageable, () -> mongoTemplate.count(q, example.getProbeType(), "COLLECTION_NAME"));

How do you have managed a status of contents in Symfony2

How do you have created a status of blog, micropost and etc?
I simply have created a status which each application entity has a status code of boolean.
False is private, true is public.
It is a multi-user environment in fosuserbundle.
It was created without any problems until now.
However, I wanted to be able to set user, group, and other status set in a multi-user environment.
(like a linux permissions, 744, etc...)
So, I think that it might create a bundle that manages the status.
The comment bundle that I have created is relation each application bundle by the ID of the string.
{{ render(controller('MyCommentBundle:Default:embed', {
'id' : 'for_example_micropost_' ~ micropost.id, // => relation id
'name' : micropost.owner.username,
'request': app.request
})) }}
However, it can not use when viewing list of application contents.
(Because the query occurs in one by one)
For example, either simply relationship by creating a column for each application.
Status Entity
blog_id
micropost_id
picture_id
etc...
But I think it inconvenient.
It require care of additional column when generated for each new application.
And I feel it is not a smart also.
For example, do so in the list part. Conditions of the string if possible in DQL.
public function find_all($owner, $limit, $offset)
{
$q = $this->getEntityManager()->createQuery('
SELECT p FROM MyMicropostBundle:Post p
LEFT JOIN MyStatusBundle s
With s.relation_id = :prefix + p.id
WHERE s.code > 744
')
->setParameter("prefix", 'for_example_micropost_')
->setParameter("owner", $owner)
->setMaxResults($limit)
->setFirstResult($offset);
return $q->getResult();
}
Etc., various I think, but I do not know the best way.
How do you have created a status?
Do you know status bundle already?
Or do you know bundle may be relevant to me.
If there is an optimal way and ideas, please tell me.
StatusBundle process:
It check a access user first.
It check a status code and groups and owner associated with the contents.
It compare a status code, groups and owner of the content to a access user.
I think it is possible to create (relation) bundle within a single page in my skills.
However, problem is how to relations at such a list display page that query to get the contents of the large number.
For example, I get the data of the last 10 blog posts.
I get the last 10 of public status posts if a access user is not the owner.
It is easy if Post entity has a status.
However, I think how to check a status, groups and owner if a status of a post has been registered in the status entity of other bundle.
I think that how to handle the status bundle while I get the data of the contents of the large number.

Programicatlly visit (all) ASP.Net page(s) in a website?

In the Security model for out ASP.Net website (.Net 3.5) we store the page name:
page.GetType().Name
as the primary key in a database table to be able to lookup if a user has access to a certain page. The first time a page is visited this record is created automatically in the database.
We have exported these database statements to insert scripts, but each time a new page gets created we have to update the scripts, not a huge issue, but I would like to find an automated way to do this.
I created an attribute that I tagged a few pages with and then wrote a small process to get all the objects that have this attribute, through the reflection create an instance and insert the record using the same code to for page records mentioned above:
IEnumerable<Type> viewsecurityPages = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetTypes().Where(t => t.IsDefined(typeof(ViewSecurityAttribute),false));
foreach (Type t in viewsecurityPages)
{
object obj = Activator.CreateInstance(t, false);
//clip..(This code just checks if the record already exists in the DB)
if (feature == null)
{
Attribute attb = Attribute.GetCustomAttribute(t, typeof(ViewSecurityAttribute));
if (attb != null)
{
CreateSecurableFeatureForPage((Page)obj, uow, attb.ToString());
}
}
}
The issue is that page.GetType().Name when the page goes through the actual page cycle process is something like this:
search_accounts_aspx
but when I used the activator method above it returns:
Accounts
So the records don't match the in the security table. Is there anyway to programtically "visit" a webpage so that it goes through the actual page lifecycle and I would get back the correct value from the Name parameter?
Any help/reference will be greatly appreciated.
Interesting problem...
Of course there's a (too obvious?) way to programmatically visit the page... use System.Net.HttpWebRequest. Of course, that requires the URI and not just a handle to the object. This is a "how do we get there from here?" problem.
My suggestions would be to simply create another attribute (or use that same one) which stores the identifier you need. Then it will be the same either way you access it, right?
Alternatively... why not just use a 3rd party web spider/crawler to crawl your site and hit all the pages? There are several free options. Or am I missing something?
