I'm using Opa for a school project in which there has to be some synchronization of a textfield between several users. The easy way to solve this, is to transmit the complete field whenever there is a change performed by one of the users. The better way is of course to only transmit the changes.
My idea was to use the caret position in the textfield. As a user types, one can get the last typed character based on the caret position (simply the character before the caret). A DOM element has an easy-to-use field for this called selectionStart. I have this small Javascript for this:
document.getElementById('content').selectionStart
which correctly returns 5 if the caret stands at the fifth character in the field. In Opa, I cannot use selectionStart on either a DOM or a dom_element so I thought I'd write a small plugin. The result is this:
##extern-type dom_element
##register jsGetCaretPosition: dom_element -> int
##args(node)
{
return node.selectionStart;
}
This compiles with the opp-builder without any problem and when I put this small line of code in my Opa script:
#pos = %%caret.jsGetCaretPosition%%(Dom.of_selection(Dom.select_id("content")));
that also compiles without problems. However, when I run the script, it always returns "undefined" and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I've looked in the API and Dom.of_selection(Dom.select_id("content")) looked like the correct way to get the corresponding dom_element typed data to give to the plugin. The fact that the plugin returns "undefined" seems to suggest that the selected element does not know the member "selectionStart" eventhough my testcode in Javascript suggest otherwise. Anyone can help?
In Opa dom_element are the results of jQuery selection (i.e. an array of dom nodes). So if I well understood your program you should write something like node[0].selectionStart instead of node.selectionStart.
Moreover you should take care of empty selection and selection which doesn't contains textarea node (without selectionStart property). Perhaps the right code is tmp == undefined ? -1 : tmp = node[0].selectionStart == undefined ? -1 : tmp

So I have created a huge screen that essentially just shows the robot status for every robot in this factory (individually)… At the very end of the project, they decided they want one object on the screen that blinks if any of the 300 robots fault. I am trying to think of a way to make this work. Maybe a global script of some kind? Problem is, I do not do much scripting in Cimplicity, so any help is appreciated.
All the points that are currently used on this screen (to indicate a fault) have very similar names… as in, the beginning is the same… so I was thinking of a script that could maybe recognize if a bit is high based on PART of it's string name characteristic. The end will change a little each time, but I am sure there is a way to only look for part of a string and negate the rest. If the end has to be hard coded, that's fine.
You can use a Python script in Cimplicity.
I will not go into detail on the use of python in Cimplicity, which is well described in the documentation indicated above.
Here's an example of what can be done... note that I don't have a way to test it and, of course, this will work if the name of your robots in the declaration follows the format Robot_1, Robot_2, Robot_3 ... Robot_10 ... Robot_300 and it also depends on the Name and the Type of the fault variable... as you didn't define it, I imagine it can be an integer, with ZERO indicating no error. But if you use something other than that, you can easily change it.
import cimplicity
(...)
OneRobotWithFault = False
# Here you get the values and check for fault
for i in range(0, 300):
pointName = f'MyFactory.Robot_{i}.FaultCode'
robotFaultCode = cimplicity.point_get(pointName)
if robotFaultCode > 0:
OneRobotWithFault = True
break
# Set the status to the variable "WeHaveRobotWithFault"
cimplicity.point_set("WeHaveRobotWithFault", OneRobotWithFault)
I need to make some changes to an SAPScript. I have the program and form name
Program: RBOSORDER01
Form: RBOSORDER02
I am looking to change some of the data shown in the form. I have debugged the program and I get see the call to write to the form, for example:
CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'
EXPORTING
ELEMENT = 'ITEM_TEXT'
EXCEPTIONS
ELEMENT = 1
WINDOW = 2.
But how is the data passed between the program and the form. I cannot link between each. I was expecting to see a structure or a data element passed with 'ITEM_TEXT' and then this data is printed at this element "ITEM_TEXT" in the form but the link is not clear to me.
I have looked at the form also in SE71 and cannot see where you define this. Where is the link here, what am I missing?
This is in the form, so SE71 is what you need. You have to find the window first, where this element (ITEM_TEXT) is displayed, than look for the element and see what is displayed inside. The SAPSript form uses the global variables (structures, internal tables) of the print program directly by default (there are some other options as well, INCLUDE texts for example). So for example if a global variable gv_text is declared in the print program, and it is displayed in the SAPScript, than it will look like &GV_TEXT& in the form.
You can also debug the SAPScript if you switch on debugging in SE71 (can be painful, if the form is big).
Function 'WRITE_FORM' just calls the EntryPoint of the Form (SE71 / RBOSORDER02) in this case with ELEMENT='ITEM_TEXT'.
So you will end up in MAIN-Window at:
/E ITEM_TEXT
/: INCLUDE &VBDPA-TDNAME& OBJECT VBBP ID 0001 PARAGRAPH IT
In this case you have to debug what "VBDPA-TDNAME" is at this time and then you will find its value with transaction "SO10" (Standard-Text)
The INCLUDE can be a complex text and can have its own format strings.
As Jozsef said before, VBDPA-TDNAME is defined global in the print programm. (SE38n / RBOSORDER01)
Ok, I've been stuggling with this one for a while, and have spent a lot of time trying different things to do something that I have done very easily using PHP.
I am trying to iterate over a list while keeping track of a variable locally, while spitting out HTML attempting to populate a table.
Attempt #1:
#{
var curDate : Date = null
for(ind <- indicators){
if(curDate == null || !curDate.equals(ind.getFirstFound())){
curDate = ind.getFirstFound()
<tr><th colspan='5' class='day'>#(ind.getFirstFound())</th></tr>
<tr><th>Document ID</th><th>Value</th><th>Owner</th><th>Document Title / Comment</th></tr>
}
}
}
I attempt too user a scala block statement to allow me to keep curDate as a variable within the created scope. This block correctly maintains curDate state, but does not allow me to output anything to the DOM. I did not actually expect this to compile, due to my unescaped, randomly thrown in HTML, but it does. this loop simply places nothing on the DOM, although the decision structure is correctly executed on the server.
I tried escaping using #Html('...'), but that produced compile errors.
Attempt #2:
A lot of google searches led me to the "for comprehension":
#for(ind <- indicators; curDate = ind.getFirstFound()){
#if(curDate == null || !curDate.equals(ind.getFirstFound())){
#(curDate = ind.getFirstFound())
}
<tr><th colspan='5' class='day'>#(ind.getFirstFound())</th></tr>
<tr><th>Document ID</th><th>Value</th><th>Owner</th><th>Document Title / Comment</th></tr>
}
Without the if statement in this block, this is the closest I got to doing what I actually wanted, but apparently I am not allowed to reassign a non-reference type, which is why I was hoping attempt #1's reference declaration of curDate : Date = null would work. This attempt gets me the HTML on the page (again, if i remove the nested if statement) but doesn't get me the
My question is, how do i implement this intention? I am very painfully aware of my lack of Scala knowledge, which is being exacerbated by Play templating syntax. I am not sure what to do.
Thanks in advance!
Play's template language is very geared towards functional programming. It might be possible to achieve what you want to achieve using mutable state, but you'll probably be best going with the flow, and using a functional solution.
If you want to maintain state between iterations of a loop in functional programming, that can be done by doing a fold - you start with some state, and on each iteration, you get the previous state and the next element, and you then return the new state based on those two things.
So, looking at your first solution, it looks like what you're trying to do is only print an element out if it's date is different from the previous one, is that correct? Another way of putting this is you want to filter out all the elements that have a date that's the same date as the previous one. Expressing that in terms of a fold, we're going to fold the elements into a sequence (our initial state), and if the last element of the folded sequence has a different date to the current one, we add it, otherwise we ignore it.
Our fold looks like this:
indicators.foldLeft(Vector.empty[Indicator]) { (collected, next) =>
if (collected.lastOption.forall(_.getFirstFound != next.getFirstFound)) {
collected :+ next
} else {
collected
}
}
Just to explain the above, we're folding into a Vector because Vector has constant time append and last, List has n time. The forall will return true if there is no last element in collected, otherwise if there is, it will return true if the passed in lambda evaluates to true. And in Scala, == invokes .equals (after doing a null check), so you don't need to use .equals in Scala.
So, putting this in a template:
#for(ind <- indicators.foldLeft(Vector.empty[Indicator]) { (collected, next) =>
if (collected.lastOption.forall(_.getFirstFound != next.getFirstFound)) {
collected :+ next
} else {
collected
}
}){
...
}
While testing code in the google chrome developer console, i get
[]
and sometimes i get "".
The later shows up,when i think there not such strings available with the current selector combinations.But i still couldn't figure out the meaning of the former [] square brakets.
Please help.
With the information that you've given, all we can do is make assumptions. However, when you're logging things to the console, [] is an empty array, whereas "" is an empty string.
[] are returned whenever you jquery returns empty object. i.e. you selector expression cant locate what you are trying to search.
whereas "" is just simple string
i looked into your given site..
when i tried :
$('.four columns alpha') i get object[] (which means there jquery is returning empty object)
but when you write correct expression like :
$('.four.columns') you will get array of Div's which can be used like object.
Hope i'm able to make you understand. if any doubts do write.
And $('.four columns alpha') this is not the right way to select div's with more than one css class right way is to do something like below:
$('.four.columns.alpha')
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.
