Difference between "choose" on dropdown and PATCH request on staged resource

When calling a specific task in our Universal web GUI, a dialogue appears containing a form, in which I can change and enter the form values required to execute said task. This specific task contains a dropdown select-element, as well as some regular text fields and a few check boxes. Below is one such dialogue: 2 checkboxes, an autofilled textfield, a dropdown and another text field When I change a value, like (un-)checking one of the checkboxes, I can see in the network inspector of my browser a PATCH request is made on the staged resource. The request body contains only the changed value, and the response returns two booleans indicating whether the layout and/or resource have changed, respectively. When I select an item in the dropdown however, I can see in the inspector a POST request is made to a “choose” endpoint, also on the staged resource. The response of this request is similar to the PATCH request. The request does not contain a body, but the URL looks like below; staged_tas

Barcode not working between versions of project

So, I’m using a code 128 barcode in a devexpress report, which works in my development version and test version yet when I want to use it in my live version it stops working (see picture, top is live version, which just prints the standard devexp placeholder barcode, bottom is from the test version). Fonts are available to every version, database is reachable(highlighted by the fact that every other piece of info is correct on both labels), and to be frank, we’re baffled here as to why this is happening. If anyone here has a solution it would be greatly appreciated.

List folder connector in combination with Azure

For a demo application we need to import files, saved to a specific azure file storage.We setup a system flow to support this: The list folder connector should retrieve all the file name ​​​​​s in the folder and with the decision node we should import them one by one into the database. I'm only having trouble getting the List connector to work, it needs a source folder (Absolute path to the folder that is requested). For example storage location With source folder https://testthinkwise.file.core.windows.net/xmlfiles But when I copy the url of the azure file storage, as configured in the process action, indicium throws a error about the file path that is outside of the allowed base path. What am I supposed to do?

Endpoint name and JSON body type error in the 'deployment automation' documentation

Hi First off, I’m not sure where I was supposed to report this. There was a blog from 3 years ago (link) referring to an open source repository of the documentation on GitHub. However, this has since been archived and doesn’t indicate that it is being maintained anywhere else. Thus leaving me unable to open a simple pull request. Now I’m here, where a relatively small improvement report like this doesn’t really fit the ‘Question’, ‘Conversation’, or ‘Idea’ categories. If there’s another/better way, let me know! When following the documentation on deployment automation, I’ve ran into some difficulties. These difficulties were mainly from the documentation being incorrect. I’m referring to the following page and section (markdown anchor included in url): https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/docs/sf/deployment_automation#automate-the-creation-of-a-deployment-package The JSON snippet here indicates that the POST request endpoint to indicium is task_start_deployment_package. However, this sho

Developer menu in windows UI not visible

Hi all, We’ve setup a new project and as far I can see all parameters are likely the same. However when starting the end application via the SF (we’re just started development) the developer menu is bar is not visible. I just copied the INI file of another application and only changed the DB name. Our new application does not show the developer menu. The application where I copied the INI file from does show the developer menu? The line executionmode = developer is in both INI’s Where else do we need to check something??

Indicium on Azure fails to start when OpenID client configuration exists

I'm trying to use my IAM as external OpenID authentication. I have an website that i need to secure access to. For that i want to use the Thinkwise IAM OpenID as authentication backend. For testing purposes I created a new IAM database on the 2022.2 platform with the latest indicium (2022.2.12) in the Azure cloud. In the OpenID -> OpenID clients i created a new record with olly the ClientID populated. In the Configuration tab are values for Redirects, Post logout redirects and Secrets. When the Azure Web App that hosts the Indicium is restarted it fails to start with “HTTP Error 500.30 - ASP.NET Core app failed to start”. In the Application Event Logs I see the error message “The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception. Exception Info: Internal.Cryptography.CryptoThrowHelper+WindowsCryptographicException: Access is denied. at Internal.Cryptography.Pal.StorePal.FromSystemStore(String storeName, StoreLocation storeLocation, OpenFlags openFlags) at System.Security.Cryptograph

How to copy a language and all translations

Is it possible to create a new language in TSF based on the language “NL”? We notice that some terms are slightly different in Belgium than in the Netherlands. So I would like to copy the language “NL” to “NL-BE”. How can I do that? If I can not do that myself in TSF, can you please provide me a script that copies al data in the required tables?

DevExpress and Reportingservice 5: Showing a modal dialog box error

I use the Reportingservice V5 to print a DevExpress report. This gives me the following error: Showing a modal dialog box or form when the application is not running in UserInteractive mode is not a valid operation. Specify the ServiceNotification or DefaultDesktopOnly style to display a notification from a service application. I use the same report to create a pdf and that works fine. I also use the same report within the (Windows) gui and that also works fine. So why would the report try to show a dialog form when I try to print it using the Reportingservice? Any help would be appreciated. Using TW 2022.1 and Reportingservice 5

Format process flow API's response headers

Hello, I’m trying to model an process flow API which adds emails to a queue. I’ve got this all working, but i want to inform the sender that the email was correctly added, by returning the emails’ ID and status. I would like to use the response headers for this, but i’m experiencing some problems as into how i would format this correctly in SQL. According to the documentation (https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/docs/sf/process_flows#enable-the-message-protocol-independent-web-service) the response headers should be formatted like this: { "Header1": [ "value1", "value2" ], "Header2": [ "value"] } My question is how i should archieve a format like that in SQL? I thought i could just format my variables like a json body by selecting them in a subquery with ‘for json path’, but that results in errors. I think this feature was developed by you with supportive sql functions in mind to achieve this more easily. What is the correct way to achieve the format which Indicium accepts?

API data show in popup grid

hi, For a calculation module we use a 3rd party API, which gets us a json with +/- 10 records, the user has to pick 1 of these options. Each record has a unique code, this is the only field we actually have to store in our model. So I thought of a processflow, starting from a task, get the json, show the data in a pop-up grid to the user, choose 1 record, save the code in our model, and we’re ready. Is this the proper way to do this? Do we have to save all data from the json to the database to show it in a grid? We only need the selected code, the other data is on-the-fly but needed for the user to make the decision, is there a more temporarily way? How to popup the grid on top, so the user has to select a record to close the popup?

Process action 'Write File' returns status code -4

Hi all, I’m using a process flow that writes certain files to an S3 bucket. This has worked fine for a couple of months however it recently stopped working. After i did some debugging I see that the Write File process action now is returning a status code of ‘-4’ however I cannot find any documentation on what this status code means. So my question is, what does this status code entail?

How do I by default zoom out resource scheduler when opening for the first time (in Web GUI)

Hi everyone, I was looking for a way for web GUI resource scheduler to zoom out the times scale showing 8 months instead of 7 by default. I checked the documentation and the full model module in SF and I found the zoom factor under the web and windows setting in the extender, but they work differently from each other. In web its designed to be Boolean implying we are only enabling the feature and, in the windows GUI we are giving instruction what level of zoom are we requiring. Is there any other way of zooming out the time scale for the web GUI? My current Time Scale I don’t find any difference after i enabled this option

Domains with XML as datatype only work with domain_name XML?

Hi TW forum, I noticed something interesting and would like to confirm my conclusion. I was following the guide for multirow task execution Now this requires a domain with xml datatype.When I create the domain with xml as name it all works swimmingly. But when I start using custom names for the xml domain its seems impossible to create that domain? Am I correct in understanding that a domain with xml datatype only works if it has the name ‘xml’? I tried making an anne_xml domain and could not find it in user-defined data types nor in the creation scripts. Some testing taught me that running the following code create type anne_xml from xmlgrant references on type::anne_xml to publicgo results in the error:Cannot create alias types from an XML datatype. My conclusion its that its technically impossible and the adding of a domain for xml is just so its available in the model?Which will then translate into to the code as ‘xml’ using the build in data type xml.I think that’s a pretty cool s

Windows GUI - Local windows settings (calander) 2022.2

Since the SF/IAM upgrade to the new version 2022.2, users in the end application have been experiencing problems with date control. For example, the calendar in the Windows GUI no longer starts with the local user settings. Time zone information setting for users Even with changing the domain time zone which is behind the relevant column the calendar continues to start with Sunday as the first day of the week. Time zone "Local” In the SF, I am using the CustomDateMask runtime. SF | Runtime configurations ✔ Local pc settings are correct (Monday as the first day of the week); ✔ IAM user has Time zone "Europe/Amsterdam” ; How can we fix this 😮?
