How do you write the result of an HTTP connector via a Write file to an Azure file storage?I followed the steps described in: https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/docs/sf/process_flows_connectors#write-files-to-an-external-locationIn the log I get the message:[ERR] Process action 'write_file' in processflow 'write_product_to_excel' returned the following message: Process action 'write_file' in processflow 'write_product_to_excel' was not provided a (valid) value for its 'File location' parameter. (ca3b443c)How should the File location be configured?I have now setup the followingThe project contains the storage location bc_customer_data:The process flow variable is created as follows:I configured the write file connector in the following way:In a process procedure the file name is set:
Hello everyone,We asked Thinkwise Support about the way to set up the Exchange Connector in cases where the legacy EWS Connector is missing from Azure. The reply was to add full Application permissions for the newer Office 365 Exchange Online connector in Azure. However, that Office 365 Exchange Online option is not present in Azure either.Microsoft advices to use the MS Graph connector for as much as possible. We might be able to go that route. But we're curious about the contingency plan for the Thinkwise Exchange Connector. Is there such a plan? What is the future for this connector?Best regards,- Alex
Hello, I want to copy some columns from a linked table to another table. I want to know if it's possible to select with check boxes in a pop up screen which columns have to be copied?
Hi all,I noticed that there is a duplicate taskbar in Universal gui. Ofcourse in the screentype this is added as a component but when I remove the taskbar from the screentype it seems to work as intended. Why is that? img 1: screentype where taskbar component is added img 2: screentype where taskbar component is not added
Hi,I was playing with the Upcycler. In general things went ok, but I have 2 questions. 5 files failed with importing the data. Is it possible to only run these 5 files again, by removing the successful files from the folder, of might that conflict with things? Or do all the files need be run in 1 batch (and thus removing the data from the db for a new run)? And what would be the advice in fixing these issues? e.g.; A table name is ‘INDEX’ , so sql doesn’t accept it. What stage of the upcycling would be best to change this? Also, the encoding of the data files .json was selected by the Upcycler, but when importing it was not the correct Encoding. I selected the utf-8-bom for importing and then it worked. Is this something that I could have seen in advance? Thanks!
I want to activate a special theme with extra large fonts for a visually impaired end user. In the user preferences in IAM I have set this specific theme for the user in question, but it doesn't work.What is the correct way to get this done?
Is it possible to change the database value from 0, 1, 2 etc to strings as shown below: I have tried it and i get an error at "Execute source code”
Hi all,when multiselecting records in Universal GUI the selected records get a gray background as seen in img 1. img 1 But when you set a background color as a conditional layout, the multiselect becomes unnoticeable(img 2)img 2In img 2 I have selected the last 3 “Service” records but it is not noticeable.How can this be fixed?Thanks.
hi,For printing documents (pdf files, txt files for label printer) we need some settings per user so we can specify which printer is to be used (without manual user input). So I need a look-up for printers.In advanced menu we can add printers, but can we use this table in our data model? Or are these printers only for reporting?
I like to achieve the following in our application (Web GUI):When the user executes a certain task a download* is started and shown in the running tasks window. When the download is finished the user can retrieve the file via the running tasks window.* The download is the response of a select request to indicium with the option to export as XLSX added (&$export=xlsx).It should behave the same as how you can download a GUI via the TCP website.What steps are needed to achieve this?
How can I have an empty grid (to start with) and a dropdown from a related table? Now it stays empty, because I guess there is not information shown yet in the list.
Is it possible to display multiple lines in the treeview component?I've been trying to add char(13) + char(10) and \r\n but both won't show the second line.
We have a table with readings per vehicle. This table is reachable via indicium universal for external parties. They can query by vehicle, sort on date etc etc… That's all fine. But if one forgets to use Ttop=10 of $top=100 for example in the URL, a list of thousans of records can and will be returned.When setting for example max_no_of_records on a table, the (windows) GUI respects such a setting. Indicium universal however ignores this setting completely. Will this be introduced in a future release of indicium universal? And will there be a way to query a variant in the future?
We have some troubles with the automatic license renewal. All environments are registered and running on IAM 2020.2. The application pool has the correct settings; always running and idle timeout 0. However, every 2 months we have to start the indicium manually to retrieve the correct license. What are we missing?
We have set up our Software Factory using AWS: (https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/docs/deployment/aws/#creating-an-aws-elastic-beanstalk-environment). But we have troubles with setting the Project folder specification for the Creation procedure since Software Factory version 2021.3. Our Indicium runs in AWS ElasticBeanstalk, the folders of which we cannot reach directly.Ideally we would like to write those code files to an AWS S3 bucket. Is there a way to do this?
We are trying to write a generated report to our S3 bucket.The Generate Report has the report action that exports to HTML provided with a file from the (thinkwise) DevExpress tool:The process initiated by a table task:The process variables that are used are of varbinary (contract_content) type and the file_path which is located to the S3 bucket (file_path__brg_dms_contract). This file_path has a Default constant value (gcd_test1.html): The generate_report process action uses the varbinary content (contract_content) as output in report data. The write_file process action uses the file_path as file_location and contract_content as file data: One time it actually succeeded to write the report into the S3 bucket but I am not able to make it work anymore. The following error is provided when executing this: Error Number:2812,State:1,Class:162022-06-01T13:39:41.5731636+00:00 8000b77a-0000-ee00-b63f-84710c7967bb [ERR] Process action 'write_file_to_disk' in processflow 'generate_save_report'
Hi, I have a simple proces flow with only one step a decission box.I have created a control procedure for this step, with only one line of code execute ‘task’. However it seems that this task is not executed.I want to have a task to run the process manually (just in case of) So With this scipt I can have a task in the UI and it can be run in the scheduler.Is the scheduler able to execute a task with the exec command?
How can I track if there is an error raised in my process flow. In the IAM the logging says that the process has run every hour, but when an error raises in the process flow, can I see this in the IAM or what ever. SQL scheduler has an event logging where the error is shown.
Hi, I have some detail links set as tiles but these aren’t showing in Universal GUI.this is my screen type with details group shown in redthese are the details which are specified to a detail groupas we can only detail group A + B are showing, but no tiles (C)this is error shownexpected resultsPlease help!Thanks
Most of us probably have been in the situation where you wrote a time-consuming SQL stored procedure for a task or designed a report that takes a long time to create, knowing that your users will have to wait until everything is done before they can continue working in the GUI. The same goes for tasks or reports that are executed on multiple rows at once. Waiting for an hourglass to stop spinning is very boring so users will lose their patience and look for alternative ways to finish their work. You can put a progress dialog on it showing the users how long they will need to wait. But what if a task will take minutes or even hours? Maybe we would start multiple GUIs at once to split the work that needs to be done and visit the blocked GUI occasionally to watch the progress. We could lose some valuable time here not knowing exactly when the time-consuming action will finish exactly. How cool would it be when the user could simply continue their work after starting their action, and st
In our datamodel we have an entity that needs 2 files (Zebra zpl & resulting label pdf) in 1 record, is it possible to specify which binary should be used for the preview? Using windows platform.
The Thinkwise Platform has powerful functionality to connect to external applications using OAuth. Customers often use external applications, for example a payment system. In that case they often want to import the data to the Thinkwise database, as the external system is their single source of truth. We can use the Thinkwise Platform to synchronize this data. With the support of system flows we can even automate this to automatically collect the latest data.In this blog I will use Exact Online as the external application to synchronize the projects from Exact to a database.Creating the data modelI made a very simple model for demo purposes. As a developer you can extract a lot more data from the API.The data model contains two tables, the oauth_token_info table to save the OAuth access and refresh tokens. The project table contains the information we will extract from the Exact Online API.Data modelApp RegistrationTo call the API first we need to register an application in Exact Onlin
Hi all,Does anyone know how to check the filesize of a file which is uploaded as document.Many company’s still have a restriction on the file size of an attachment to be sent to them.I want to give a warning if the filesize exceeds a specific limit?
Has anyone found a solution to show images, which are stored in Azure file storage, in a SSRS report?SSRS = SQL Server Reporting Services
Hi. We made a custom HTML field for a card list and it shows attachments. Some are too big to show inline and we want to give them a link. This works.. but for some reason the target predicate get stripped with the result that the link doesn't open in a new tab/window. How can we solve this? Deep linking to a preview component is not supported yet right?
