I am trying to build a subscriber function that goes like this:
Every user register his machine name to a list using
hostname:enlist .z.h
The function loops through the hostname list, creates connection and do some function {u:hopen(`:x:200;5000);u"somefunction[]"} each hostname
The only issue is .z.h is of a symbol where x should have no type in order to have this: u:hopen(`:HURNMW052:200;5000) instead of this u:hopen(`:`HURNMW052:200;5000)
The same thing happens using IPs ”.” sv string”h”$0x0 vs .z.a = "161.16.16.23" not 161.16.16.23
Any idea how I could cast those or other solutions to create a loop of handles?
You can use a string to open a connection. See below.
q)":",string[.z.h],":8009"
":homer:8009"
q)h:hopen(":",string[.z.h],":8009";5000)
q)h
3i
This reference on the kx wiki is useful for opening connections in kdb.

I want to create some servers on DigitalOcean using Pulumi. I have the following code:
for i in range(0, amount):
name = f"droplet-{i+1}"
droplet = digitalocean.Droplet(
name,
image=_image,
region=_region,
size=_size,
)
pulumi.export(f"droplet-ip-{i+1}", droplet.ipv4_address)
This is correctly outputting the IP address of the servers on the console.
However I would like to use the IP addresses elsewhere in my Python script. Therefor I had added the droplets to a list as follows:
droplets = []
for i in range(0, amount):
name = f"droplet-{i+1}"
droplet = digitalocean.Droplet(
name,
image=_image,
region=_region,
size=_size,
)
pulumi.export(f"droplet-ip-{i+1}", droplet.ipv4_address)
droplets.append(droplet)
to then loop over the droplets as follows:
for droplet in droplets:
print(droplet.ipv4_address)
In the Pulumi output, I see the following:
Diagnostics:
pulumi:pulumi:Stack (Pulumi_DigitalOcean-dev):
<pulumi.output.Output object at 0x105086b50>
<pulumi.output.Output object at 0x1050a5ac0>
I realize that while the droplets are still being created, the IP address is unknown but I'm adding the droplets to the list after the creation.
Is there a way to know the IP addresses at some point so it can be used elsewhere in the Python script.
The short answer is that because these values are Outputs, if you want the strings, you'll need to use .apply:
https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/inputs-outputs/#apply
To access the raw value of an output and transform that value into a new value, use apply. This method accepts a callback that will be invoked with the raw value, once that value is available.
You can print these IPs by iterating over the list and calling the apply method on the ipv4_address output value:
...
pulumi.export(f"droplet-ip-{i+1}", droplet.ipv4_address)
droplets.append(droplet)
...
for droplet in droplets:
droplet.ipv4_address.apply(lambda addr: print(addr))
$ pulumi up
...
Diagnostics:
pulumi:pulumi:Stack (so-71888481-dev):
143.110.157.64
137.184.92.205
Outputs:
droplet-ip-1: "137.184.92.205"
droplet-ip-2: "143.110.157.64"
Depending on how you plan to use these strings in your program, this particular may may not be perfect, but in general, if you want the unwrapped value of pulumi.Output, you'll need to use .apply().
The pulumi.Output.all() also comes in handy if you want to wait for several output values to resolve before using them:
https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/inputs-outputs/#all
If you have multiple outputs and need to join them, the all function acts like an apply over many resources. This function joins over an entire list of outputs. It waits for all of them to become available and then provides them to the supplied callback.
Hope that helps!
In a parameterized query issued from c# code to PostgreSQL 10.14 via dotConnect 7.7.832 .NET connector, I select either a parameter value or the local timestamp, if the parameter is NULL:
using (var cmd = new PgSqlCommand("select COALESCE(#eventTime, LOCALTIMESTAMP)", connection)
When executed, this statement throws the error in subject. If I comment out the corresponding parameter
cmd.Parameters.Add("#eventTime", PgSqlType.TimeStamp).Value = DateTime.Now;
and hardcode
using (var cmd = new PgSqlCommand("select COALESCE('11/6/2020 2:36:58 PM', LOCALTIMESTAMP)", connection)
or if I cast the parameter
using (var cmd = new PgSqlCommand("select COALESCE(cast(#eventTime as timestamp without time zone), LOCALTIMESTAMP)", connection)
then it works. Can anyone explain what # operator in the error is referring to and why the error?
In the case that doesn't work, your .Net connection library seems to be passing an SQL command containing a literal # to the database, rather than substituting it. The database assumes you are trying to use # as a user defined operator, as it doesn't know what else it could possibly be. But no such operator has been defined.
Why is it doing that? I have no idea. That is a question about your .Net connection library, not about PostgreSQL itself, so you might want to add tag.
The error message you get from the database should include the text of the query it received (as opposed to the text you think it was sent) and it is often useful to see that in situations like this. If that text is not present in the client's error message (some connection libraries do not faithfully pass this info along) you should be able to pull it directly from the PostgreSQL server's log file.
I have some questions about a PowerShell script I need to write:
My script gets a list of servers' IP and it's output has to be the status of each server's WakeOnLan parameter.
The output also has to include the time it took my function to return all the statuses of all the servers.
Measure-Command does not work in this case, because my function is pretty long and it gets a list of hundreds IPs.
Does anyone know how to make my function write the following output:
"The total time of providing WakeOnLan status for ___(number) servers is ___(minutes).
After writing my function in some cases it can not run the Connect-HPEBIOS
command (when the output is more than one IP): It prints that it can not connect because of credentials (even though they are being written in my function correctly), but after trying to call my function with (only that specific IP - and not a list of IPs) the function works properly without printing an error about the credentials.
Does anyone have an idea what should I do in the cases where my output is more than one IP? How can I fix it?
One more question- Do I have to refer in my function to the different possibilities of different ILO versions? Can there be problems performing the Connect-HPEBIOS command in the different versions?
Thanks a lot!
I am working on a model generation script to automatically generate Simscape models from a library of components with varying ports. Due to the vast number of ports that need to be connected across the model, I am looking for a good way to set up which ports need to be connected to each other. The best solution I have come up with so far is to name each port with a unique tag that indicates what other ports in the system it should be connected to in the generated model. However, I am not able to obtain the name of any physical port. It is labeled on the mask, but the 'Name' parameter always comes back empty. Here's what I've tried:
h = get_param(gcb,'PortConnectivity')
port = h(1).Type %This only returns the physical port #, not custom name
h = get_param(gcb,'PortHandles')
port = get_param(h.LConn(1),'Name') %This returns an empty cell array
Not sure where to go from here. Any ideas on how to solve this? Thanks!
You can use:
name = get_param(gcb, 'Name');
to get the port name. A general tip for finding the right block property, run:
get(get_param(gcb, 'object'))
this will display all block properties and their values.
I am trying to set up a transformer on a Database Reader to file writer channel. I am reading in a sql field called MRN which I would like to send to a variable called mrn. I added a step to a channel with a variable called tmp['MSH'] mapping to a variable called msg['MSH'] But mirth is giving me the error message:
The variable name contains invalid characters. Please enter a new variable name
What are the rules for a valid variable name in mirth?
tmp and msg are two built-in variables containing E4X mappings of the outbound template and inbound message, respectively. You would map, via a MessageBuilder step, from inbound to outbound with tmp['MSH'][...] = msg['MSH']... where ... refers to the appropriate sections. Essentially these are pre-populated javascript property arrays.
If you really want to create a variable for use in multiple places, the rules are alphanumeric plus '_', I believe.
In a MessageBuilder step, you could refer to a previously created variable with ${varname}.
I would recommend investing a little time in getting familiar with the basics. Documentation is wanting, to be sure, but this blog post series are a good place to start.
