I am using a UseBean in my Jsp
<wcbase:useBean id="category" classname="com.ibm.commerce.catalog.beans.CategoryDataBean" scope="page" />
then I try to get 'CatalogEntryDataBeans' value using 'category' instance, something like
category.catalogEntryDataBeans
but i get nothing.
Please tell me what I am missing?
I have researched a lot , specifically set the targets (passed catalogId and categoryId to CategoryDataBean) but all in vain.
I have been trying to get catalogEntryDatBeans value for almost 7 hours, now no idea/debug-method left in my mind.
I would really be grateful if someone please help me get this value.
Is the request properties object containing the categoryId and catalogId parameters?
Also, does this return a value: ${category.description.name}?
Are you getting the catalog entries returned in any other way? I.e. is your store, category and products correctly configured (including the description tables) and the issue is just with this data bean through this tag?

I'm calling a REST API with a SharePoint Designer workflow on SharePoint online. I'm setting the column name with a variable, and when i put the variable into my URL to call it it says "Column [name] does not exist".
Annoying part is when I call just /items? I can see the column in the result, but if I try select it or filter by it I get 'does not exist'. I have alot of these columns similarly named, and I get the error for all of them.
I am using the internal name, I have tried adding "OData_" to the front. I've tried typing the url manually in the browser and entering values (incase the variable was causing issues) but I get the same error, column does not exist. but i can see it them I call all items. :(
so I have quite a few columns with naming convention "[Q#] Score [#]" eg "Q4 Score 2". The internal name that's clearly appearing in the full items results is "Q4_x0020_Score_x0020_2".
This works:
https://MYSITE.sharepoint.com/sites/portal/intranet/CorpServices/QSR/_api/web/lists/GetbyTitle('Audit')/Items?
and I get big full normal REST results that includes the line:
0
However if I try:
https://MYSITE.sharepoint.com/sites/portal/intranet/CorpServices/QSR/_api/web/lists/GetbyTitle('Audit')/Items?$Select=Q4_x0020_Score_x0020_2
Then I get:
-2146232832, Microsoft.SharePoint.SPExceptionColumn 'Q4_x0020_Score_x0020_2' does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user.
I expect to be able to select that column (and the dozens like it) but none work. I've searched all similar problems on the forum and they've usually got a spelling mistake or forgot the ODATA_ but i cant seem to get the problem. Please help.
It seemed to be working intermittently.... So it was in fact just a naming error...... Half of the columns were [Q#]_x0020_Score_x0020_[#] and half were [Q#]_x0020_score_x0020_[#]. The word "Score" was capitalized on some and not others. I Didn't realize the HTTP Calls were case sensitive. Now I have added a bunch of if statements to handle the different variations haha. Thanks for reading.
Judging by the naming convention you are on an older version of SharePoint. The x0020 is the value for a space. Ideally when you first create the column you would name it without the spacing. For example UserInformation. Then come in and edit the name after the fact and call it User Information. If you click on the title name and look at the URL, you will see what the actual name of the column is at the end of the URL. It is case sensitive because you can have a column named score and Score which is ultimately why it wasn't working.
Must load all fields like this
var lists = context.Web.Lists;
context.Load(lists);
context.ExecuteQuery();
CamlQuery query = new CamlQuery();
query.ViewXml = #"";
var list = lists.GetById("file.guid");
var listitems = list.GetItems(query);
context.Load(listitems);
context.ExecuteQuery();
var creationInformation = new ListItemCreationInformation();
var newItem=list.AddItem(creationInformation);
var fields = list.Fields;
context.Load(fields);
context.ExecuteQuery();
I am using EF 6.1.3. Using code first sets a byte[] property in an entity to max. 8000 bytes. Any attempt to make it greater, that is MAX, fails.
HasMaxLength(null) (yes, the parameter is int?) still sets it to 8000, HasMaxLength(int.MaxValue) or any other value greater than 8000 makes EF throw System.Data.Entity.Core.MetadataException:
Schema specified is not valid. Errors: (0,0) : error 0026: MaxLength
'2147483647' is not valid. Length must be between '1' and '8000' for
'varbinary' type.
SQL server 13.0.2151 (mssqllocaldb) allows for varbinary(max):
This limit seems too severe to me. Trying to find a reason why it is imposed does not yield a good reason for this too. So, my question is
How a byte[] can be mapped to varbinary(max) in EF code first?
PS: The property is also 'required', but I am not sure if an optional property may be set to varbinary(MAX) either. Anyway, i have not tested this case since it does not make much sense to me.
Despite the multiple articles that states the solution is to add the following attribute
[Column(TypeName="image")]
byte[] Photo { get; set; }
I found the correct approach to be, adding instead this attribute
[MaxLength]
public byte[] Photo { get; set; }
With the Column(TypeName) recommendation I'll end up getting the following error with SQLCE:
The field Photo must be a string or array type with a maximum length of '4000'
Well, I found a workaround to this. Specifying HasColumnType("image") solves the problem, but I still think that EF must allow for specifying varbinary(max) as well.
Moreover, not all binary files are images. ;)
And still part of the question remains unanswered, so I will put it this way:
Why a byte[] property cannot be mapped to varbinary(max) in EF code first?
Any comments (or answers of course) are welcome. Thanks in advance.
EDIT (as per comment by Gert): leaving the property without any specs makes EF generate varbinary(max). Surprisingly simple!
It is possible.
Fluent API
.IsMaxLength()
Before you want to update the database take a look in the filename which is generated after you use "add-migration filename"
If you see a method "CreateTable" and see that a field which should te be a binary type with a lenght of MAX, it can be generated as c.Binary(maxLength: 8000), remove the parameter maxLength at all and then use update-database and after that you can check the created table in the SQL server database!
I'm using a plugin and want to perform an action based on the records statuscode value. I've seen online that you can use entity.FormattedValues["statuscode"] to get values from option sets but when try it I get an error saying "The given key was not present in the dictionary".
I know this can happen when the plugin cant find the change for the field you're looking for, but i've already checked that this does exist using entity.Contains("statuscode") and it passes by that fine but still hits this error.
Can anyone help me figure out why its failing?
Thanks
I've not seen the entity.FormattedValues before.
I usually use the entity.Attributes, e.g. entity.Attributes["statuscode"].
MSDN
Edit
Crm wraps many of the values in objects which hold additional information, in this case statuscode uses the OptionSetValue, so to get the value you need to:
((OptionSetValue)entity.Attributes["statuscode"]).Value
This will return a number, as this is the underlying value in Crm.
If you open up the customisation options in Crm, you will usually (some system fields are locked down) be able to see the label and value for each option.
If you need the label, you could either do some hardcoding based on the information in Crm.
Or you could retrieve it from the metadata services as described here.
To avoid your error, you need to check the collection you wish to use (rather than the Attributes collection):
if (entity.FormattedValues.Contains("statuscode")){
var myStatusCode = entity.FormattedValues["statuscode"];
}
However although the SDK fails to confirm this, I suspect that FormattedValues are only ever present for numeric or currency attributes. (Part-speculation on my part though).
entity.FormattedValues work only for string display value.
For example you have an optionset with display names as 1, 2, 3,
The above statement do not recognize these values because those are integers. If You have seen the exact defintion of formatted values in the below link
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-in/library/microsoft.xrm.sdk.formattedvaluecollection.aspx
you will find this statement is valid for only string display values. If you try to use this statement with Integer values it will throw key not found in dictionary exception.
So try to avoid this statement for retrieving integer display name optionset in your code.
Try this
string Title = (bool)entity.Attributes.Contains("title") ? entity.FormattedValues["title"].ToString() : "";
When you are talking about Option set, you have value and label. What this will give you is the label. '?' will make sure that the null value is never passed.
Using Foursquare api "Venue" service.. i am parsing nearByVenue details like shop, restaurant etc.
Suppose as an example i am getting following link:
https://api.foursquare.com/v1/venues.json?geolat=40.562362&geolong=-111.938689
Issue is I am getting only 10 nearbyDetails.. suppose I am standing in New York there should be number of venue details.. why I am getting only 10 details only ?
Is there any other service or i am following wrong approach to use it?
Thanks
Add l=n where n is your limit in query string. The default limit is set to 30.
https://api.foursquare.com/v1/venues.json?geolat=40.562362&geolong=-111.938689&l=10
https://api.foursquare.com/v1/venues.xml?geolat=40.562362&geolong=-111.938689&l=50&q=coffee
You can change the value of l="no of result" parameter.
And also if you want to search for particular keyword like ATM, Coffee
then you can add the parameter q and add it's value like q="atm", q="coffee", etc.
hope it will be helpful to you.
Friends,
I'm facing another challenge in APEX and I hope you can help.
I have created a tree using the method described in John & Scott's superb book, "Pro Application Express" whereby the page link is stored in a table. Below is an example:
go to a page passing some parameters
f?p=&APP_ID.:3:&SESSION.::::P3_IDENTIFIER,P3_FAMILY_NAME:&P2_IDENTIFIER.,&P2_FAMILY_NAME.
When the page is run this works as expected. I can expand the tree and navigate to the page passing parameters if required.
However when I turned on session state protection these "hand crafted" links stopped working. Which I expected because the link contains no checksum.
After some investigation I see I have to use APEX_UTIL.PREPARE_URL to generate the URL with a checksum. Unfortunately this is where I run into problems. I can't seem to be able to pass the parameters values to the calling page.
The original tree query was:
select "IDENTIFIER" id,
"PARENT_IDENTIFIER" pid,
"TITLE" name,
"LINK" link,
null a1,
null a2
from <some table>
I then changed this to use APEX_UTIL.PREPARE_URL:
....
APEX_UTIL.PREPARE_URL('f?p='||:APP_ID||':3:'||:APP_SESSION||'::::P3_IDENTIFIER,P3_FAMILY_NAME:&P2_IDENTIFIER.,&P2_FAMILY_NAME.') link,
...
and this works, the page is called and I can see the values of the parameters passed. But I can't use this method as it is restricted to the one page!
Finally I tried storing the page number, parameters and parameter values in different columns of the table that the tree is based on and then bring them together:
...
APEX_UTIL.PREPARE_URL('f?p='||:APP_ID||':'||navigate_to_page||':'||:APP_SESSION||'::::'||parameters||':'||parameter_values) link,
...
Where:
navigate to page has the value of: 3
parameters has the value of: P3_IDENTIFIER,P3_FAMILY_NAME
parameter_values has the values of: &P2_IDENTIFIER.,&P2_FAMILY_NAME.
This now calls the page, but the parameter values have become literals. so where I'm expecting an identifier I see &P2_IDENTIFIER and ditto for family name.
What am I doing wrong? How can I pass values to my called page using apex_util_prepare_url?
In case of need, my environment details are: Apex 3.2.1, Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.3. Oracle Database 10.2.0.3
Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.
I think you'll need to resolve those variables, using the v() function:
APEX_UTIL.PREPARE_URL('f?p='||:APP_ID
||':'||navigate_to_page
||':'||:APP_SESSION
||'::::'||parameters
||':'||v('P2_IDENTIFIER')||','||v('P2_FAMILY_NAME')) link,
On a side note, you might need to be careful about P2_FAMILY_NAME since it's being used in the url; it sounds like a plain text field which contains user-entered data?
