Hi magicians

I 'm facing the following problem:

I have an online task with a grid displaying a table. There are 3 more columns which correspond to virtual-variables, with their contents calculated (by record) on the fly.
The calculation is based on some database statistic-processing. All 3 values are related, so I can have all 3 values in one database-stats run.

The solution I found so far to display these calculated values correctly on the grid, was to create a 3 functions, each calculating a value and assigning it to each virtual.
My problem is that since I use 3 functions, I end up executing the statistic processing 3 times (instead of 1) and this is the cause for slow grid-drawing and navigation.

Any ideas to improve?

Thanks in advance

I couldn't make it work yet.

After installing node.js I ran
npm install -g @angular/cli

When I choose "generate web application" it doesn't generate angular.json. 

I also tried combining (merging) it with 
ng new my-app
But then I only see the empty application I generated

A new chat has been created:

Hi, I would like to learn (basic=>expert) consuming WebService in Magic XPI 4.6

questions are:
-How to create a WebService with Magic XPI 4.6?
-How to provide a SOAP connected in database?
-How to invoke or use my created SOAP at SSJ to Magic XPA 3.3 Projects? OR Getting data from my soap that I created?
(step by step procedure will be more appreciated OR sample and simple projects!)

I'm sick of this modules that I'm reading, I'm stacked after deploying my Created WebService.
I don't know how to use them properly...

(please help!)

Thank you &
Have a NICE DAY ahead!

Sincerely,
Neil

Thanks.
Same date-type, so a vector will do :-)

Hi Avgerinos

If the required return values were all of the same data types, i.e. all alphas or all numerics, you could use a vector. Or you could pass back a character-separated string, such as "abc¬99¬xyz" and parse this in the calling programme using the StrToken function.

Avgerinos,

Pass a blob and pass back and forth whatever content you want. This way you could pass an entire table in and out of a function (mtblset, mtblget), or just a simple alpha field with some delimiter that separates the values passed back.

Hi magicians

Is there any way to return more than one values from a function?
Parameters are input-only. So far, I can only think of passing the var-index ('XX'VAR) as a parameter and use VARSET in the function to update it.
Any alternatives?

It looks like the same output as I am seeing.
The purpose of the example, (as in 'what can/should it do') is not known to any one but the person who created this.

Short version on how to get the WebSamples running:
1) follow the menu in Studio under 'Web'  (set correct settings, and generate
2) Open CMD prompt and do a CD to the directory specified in 'Web Application folder\ProjectName' 
3) run 'ng serve'

Output is like this:
C:\temp\output\WebSamples2>ng serve
** Angular Live Development Server is listening on localhost:4200, open your browser on http://localhost:4200/ **
 33% building modules 194/195 modules 1 active …ic-xpa\engine\fesm5\magic-xpa-engine.js

Wait for this to complete... 
4) Extecute the project  (CTRL+F7 from Studio), and go to http://localhost:4200 with your browser

Because the default program is 29 under 'Web Application Settings/StartProgram', the Root-example is always shown.
To test one of the programs 2-23, it's possible to run this individual program using F7.

Also, there's a bug in WebSamples/Program14 'Format', 
It is impossible to have an expression on the 'Format' of a field (what this example tries to show!)

Hi all,

I try to run the web sample project, but i doubt if i've done the right thing, i could not find any references, how to's....

Attach sample output.

dotnet.System.Convert should work if you add 'System to het CRR

CRR can be reached hitting SHITF+F7
change 'Type' to '.net'
then hit 'F5' on the column 'Name', and pick 'System' (versie 4.0.0.0) from the list.

now you should be able to update a Date field with this expression:
DVAL(dotnet.Convert.ToDateTime("5-Jul-18").ToString(),'yyyy-MM-dd')

Thanks sounds like a good alternative, but i'm missing something because magic is giving me an invalid error and i'm not too familiar with dotnet
i'd appreciate if you can spell me out exactly the expression that should work.

TIA
Hershel

oops....
dotnet.Convert…..
should have been:
dotnet.System.Convert…..

dotnet.Convert.ToDateTime("5-Jul-18") should give the proper DateTime.

or:
DVAL(dotnet.Convert.ToDateTime("5-Jul-18").ToString(),'yyyy-MM-dd')

Hi all

I have to update to a date variable with date string imported from a CSV file, the date string format is like 5-Jul-18, without pad filled 0, when I enter the expression dval(vDateString,’DD-MMM-YY’) it returns a 0 date. However if the string date format is 5/7/18 and I update with dval(vDateString,’DD/MM/YY’) it does work properly.

I’ve seen in the past that magic doesn’t handle it correctly when we import directly To a date variable, and therefore I imported to an alpha variable first. But in this format, it doesn’t even work with an update using dval, I guess I’ll have to go the messy route of 0 pad filling myself the day part of the date.

 

Anyone have seen this before or any better solution?

 

Thanks

Hershel

P.S.: If you do a lot with MongoDB and APIs you may have a look into https://restheart.org/ . That's a pretty powerful API. Mo need for Magic on server side then basically unless you have some legacy code. It's JSON only, XML you have to add yourself.

Hi Andreas,

Any recommendation on what to use software in building API's for XML's?

Thank you!

What exactly do you mean with "API's for XML" resp. what do you intend to do. There's SOAP and "REST", SOAP is XML webservices, REST is basically simply http where payload could be XML too but more often is JSON because XML implies some overhead.

SOAP is basically the only thing supported by Magic (with Apache Axis since 3.3), REST you have to implement by feet - with basically no support by the platform/framework (Magic).

Is this going to be an "internal" API or something you want the world / business partners to use ?

'images' seems to be missing? (al least my 'images' directory is empty....!)
