I have created a REST project in yii2 and i have some yaml data that should be stored in the database. These are crowd data, that is authorized people can add new yaml files and our app will parse those data and store in database.
But these data might change in the future (i.e. add/delete columns) which would rely on version of the REST api (v1.0, v2.0 etc)
Thus i would like to call the appropriate rest action to do it.
I know there is the function $controller->run() but how do i use it to make a POST or a PUT request?
Is there any alternative to using yii httpclient?
Thanks
If I am not wrong, you want to execute different action depending on the version of the API.
For that, you can create modules inside your frontend/backend directory and name the modules as per your versions. Whenever you have a new version create a new module and upgrade the version name. Thus you always get the proper versioning. So v1, v2.. will be modules in your project.
The good thing about this is that you can have same action name in different modules under same controller name. Thus if in version 1 you have 5 columns and the api is like /v1/data then you can have 7 columns in version 2 and the api can be like /v2/data.

I want to retrieve an UI5 version (e.g. 1.97.0-SNAPSHOT) inside of controller. The simplest way is to get a value of sap.ui.version, but it's a global variable, which I want to avoid.
I thought, sap.ui.VersionInfo would be a right choice, but looking at its API, I can't find any method, related to the retrieval of the UI5 version.
I also checked the controller's internals (not too deep) and sap.ui.Device, but no version number.
How can I retrieve the UI5 framework version without using a global variable?
If you're using OpenUI5, require sap/ui/core/Core and get an instance of sap/base/util/Version via Core.getConfiguration().getVersion().
In case of SAPUI5, however, the patch version is not always same as the version of SAPUI5 core (sap.ui.core) since SAPUI5-exclusive libraries may contain patches in addition to OpenUI5 libraries. See this graphic SAPUI5 library patch versions (e.g. v1.96). To get the correct SAPUI5 version reliably, require the module sap/ui/VersionInfo. Its method load() will return a promise that resolves with an object - same as https://<host>/resources/sap-ui-version.json - containing all information about the current framework including its version.
// VersionInfo required from "sap/ui/VersionInfo"
// VersionUtil required from "sap/base/util/Version"
// Within an async function:
const { version } = await VersionInfo.load();
const versionUtil = new VersionUtil(version);
As you can see, it's also possible to combine the retrieved version string with the module sap/base/util/Version which provides methods such as getMajor(), getMinor(), getPatch(), compareTo(...), inRange(...), etc.
See section "SAPUI5 Version vs. OpenUI5 Version (Core Version)" from the documentation topic Versioning and Maintenance of SAPUI5.
⚠️ Known issue
When using the module sap/ui/VersionInfo in a standalone UI5 app (e.g. built with ui5 build self-contained -a), the top version value from the generated resources/sap-ui-version.json is the app version instead of the version of the framework. There is currently no reliable way for standalone SAPUI5 apps to determine the correct patch version.
See the issue SAP/ui5-tooling#353.
I want to be able to talk with Google Assistant, but connect the Actions project directly to an NLP service I already have running on my server. In other words, NOT use dialogflow.
All the following examples show how to do this.
With Rasa

With LUIS

They use the actions.intent.MAIN as the invocation and actions.intent.TEXT for all other utterances from the talker.
This is what I need. I don’t want to create a load of intents, with utterance phrases, inside the Action because I just want all the phrases spoken by the talker to be passed to my server, and for my NLP service to deal with them.
So I set up a new Action project, install the Actions CLI and then spend 3 days trying all possible combinations without success, because all these examples are using gactions cli 2.1.3 and Google have now moved on to gactions cli 3.1.0.
Not only have the commands changed, but so too has the file formats and structure.
It appears there is also a new Google Actions Console, and actions.intent.TEXT is no longer available.
My Action is webhook connected to my server, but I cannot figure out how to get the action.intent.TEXT included and working.
Everything I find, even here
Publishing Actions on google without Dialogflow
is pre version update and follows the same pattern.
Can anyone point to an up-to-date, v3.1.0, discussion, tutorial or example about how to send all talker phrases through to an NLP that isn’t dialogflow, or has Google closed that avenue?
Is it possible to somehow go back and use the 2.1 CLI either with the new Console or revert the console back. (I have both CLI versions, I can see how different their commands are)
Is it possible to go back and use 2.1?
There is no way to go back to AoG 2. You probably also don't want to do so - newer features aren't available with v2 and are only available with v3.
Can I use my own NLP with v3?
Yes, although it isn't as obvious, and there are some changes in semantics.
As an overview, what you'll need to do is:
Create a Type that can accept "Free form text". I usually call this type "Any".
In the console, it looks something like this:
Create a Custom Intent that has a single parameter of this Any Type and at least one phrase that captures everything for this parameter. (So you should add one training phrase, highlight the entire phrase, and set it for the parameter. Sometimes I also add additional phrases that includes words that I don't want to capture.) I usually call the Intent "matchAny" and the parameter "any".
In the console, it could be something like this:
Finally, you'll have a Scene that you transition to from the Main invocation. When it matches the "matchAny" Intent, it should call your webhook with a handler name. Your webhook will be called with the "any" parameter set with the user utterance. (Note that the JSON has also changed.
Again, the console might have it looking something like this:
That seems like a lot of work. Isn't there just some way to do all that from the command line?
Yes. You can do all of that in the configuration files that the CLI accesses and then upload it. (You can then also use the console to review the configuration, if necessary, to make sure they're configured as you expect. You can shift back and forth between them as appropriate.)
Google also has a github repository that contains most of the files pre-configured for this sort of setup.
You will need to update the configuration from the repository to handle the webhook correctly (it includes code to illustrate what is happening using the inline code editor) and to add your project ID.
Based on the documentation https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/vsts/extend/overview?view=vsts#what-makes-up-an-extension, a VSTS extension can be used to extend the work item form.
However, I would like my extension to automatically create a new work item type once it is installed. Is this something that is possible? I can't find any documentation online that suggests how to do it.
Theoretically this is possible, the extension has a "first load" call which you can use to use the rest api to create a custom process or update the existing custom process. The REST Api to change processes isn't public yet, so you'll have to work from using fiddler to watch how the web ui does it.
Due to the way processes are linked to projects, all projects with that process will get the new work item type.
I could not find a lot of documentation online for this, but the VSS web extensions SDK(https://www.npmjs.com/package/vss-web-extension-sdk) has a REST client called 'ProcessDefinitionsRestClient' declared in the typings/tfs.d.ts file. This client has a createWorkItemType method available that looks like this:
createWorkItemType(workItemType: ProcessDefinitionsContracts.WorkItemTypeModel, processId: string): IPromise<ProcessDefinitionsContracts.WorkItemTypeModel>;.
The 'ProcessRestClient' client has methods to create a new/inherited process to which the new WIT can be added.
I have not tried it out yet, and these APIs are still in preview, but maybe they can get you started on the right path.
I have been studying ATG for about 4 months and now I am facing a problem: even going through the documentation I can't find any document that can clearly explain how I can create a new empty store.
I know that I need to have my database users and schemas, the application server scripts (I'm using weblogic) and the module in Eclipse. But I can't find anywhere how to create a new store, implement it from the beginning and see the result in the browser.
There is no such document for ATG. You either need to start from the Commerce Reference Store and customise that (in versions prior to ATG 11 would would strongly suggest not to use the CRS as your basis for a new site) or you can look at what the CRS executes for the runAssembler command, remove the CRS specific modules from that and then create, and include your own modules for the Storefront and your source code.
There is no empty store you can install and run. You have to build one. Or you can install CRS, which is not empty, but it is relatively straightforward to install and can be customized.
The documentation to follow:

I've started investigating alternatives to my project and a few questions came out that I couldn't answer by myself.
The problem is: I want to create a web page able to access multiple Magento instances installed in the same server. Currently, I have one Magento instance per client and this project will access several Magneto instances to export reports from each one (for example).
The alternatives I thought til this moment are:
Have another Magento instance, create a new module within it that changes its 'database target' before triggering operations/queries;
Questions until this moment:
Can I 'change the database target' of a Magento instance?
How can I access data from a Magento instance without appeal to SOAP/REST?
I want to re-use some components (grids, tabs, forms..) from Magento, that's why I'm not considering an independent project (Zend, for instance) that can access this code from another projects. Does it make sense?
Any other idea?
==Edited==
Thanks by the tips and sorry by my ignorance. The comments let me believe that I'm able to execute something like this:
// File myScript.php
require '/home/DOMAIN1/app/Mage.php';
Mage::app('default');
// get some products from DOMAIN1
require '/home/DOMAIN2/app/Mage.php';
Mage::app('default');
// get some products from DOMAIN2
Is it right? Can I execute require twice (and override things from first require)?
==Edited2==
I'm still trying to connect to several Magento instances from a single third party file. Is there any tip? I'm facing several/different errors at this moment.
The only thing I know is that I can still rely on SOAP to get the information I need, but this will be expensive.
Thanks!
The easiest way would be to include Mage.php from each shop instance. You would need to use namespaces or some other trickery to be able to load more then one.
Or if that doesn't work - make your own API in a separate file to get what you want from one shop, and combine the results in the PHP-file that calls the API.
Here's a sample on how to use Magento functionality outside of Magento:
require 'app/Mage.php';
if (!Mage::isInstalled()) {
echo "Application is not installed yet, please complete install wizard first.";
exit;
}
Mage::app()->setCurrentStore(Mage_Core_Model_App::ADMIN_STORE_ID);
// your custom code here, for example, get the product model..
$productModel = Mage::getModel('catalog/product');
