I have a Mule 4 flow that uses the [File] On New or Updated File event source. This element is configured to wait for file changes within a specific folder.
When I deploy my flow, and the deployed application does not have access to the specified folder, a log message is generated and the flow terminates. However, I'd like to add some additional processing in this case. (I'd like to log a message to an alternative event log).
I tried adding an On Error Propagate element to the flow, but this is not triggered when the error occurs - I think this is because the error is a system error rather than a messaging error.
If I could add a step before the On New or Updated File element, then I could check for the existence of the folder, and execute that extra code there - but I see no way to do that either.
Well, I was able to do something that "works". I created another flow that runs on a (long) timer, which runs immediately and checks for the existence of the folder by attempting to list its contents. If that fails, then the On Error ... block of that flow is reached, because in this case the error is treated as a messaging error rather than a system error.
Not an ideal solution, but a solution nonetheless.
May I suggest that you monitor folder which should contain none existing folder?
For exmple you want to monitor /one/two/three/abc.txt. three does not exist. Watch two for new and updated files.

I try to execute the community script "Extender/HTTP Message Logger.js". I first double click on the script to make it open in the scripting console. However, in the scripting console, the "Execute" button is disabled and I see no other way how to make it run.
What am I missing?
I think you're missing the message beneath the script which says:
Extender scripts add new functionality, including graphical elements
and new API end points.
Enabling a script installs it and disabling a script uninstalls it.
So you just need to enable the script (by right clicking it and selecting 'Enable') and then it will start working.
The actual issue was that I didn't read the script's code carefully: be default the script only logs JSON messages as defined on lines 17 and 43 and following. In order to log all the sent and received HTTP messages, I simply changed the isMessageToLog(log) function to always return true. After redeploying the script (disabling and enabling) it would log all HTTP messages.
I've watched quite a few videos on YouTube and have a basic understanding of how to find user-exits (enhancements?) and implement them. However when I try to replicate what I've seen it doesn't appear to be working.
I'm looking to create a user-exit that would execute when a production order has been confirmed (closed/finished) via CO11N. Someone suggested that I put in a line of code "BREAK username." So that I could verify that my code was firing. Nothing breaks. I've tried putting in a message from code found on the internet
MESSAGE s208(00) WITH 'TEST'.
No message is shown. I've activated the include and the project. I've tried different exits/includes and no matter what I do, nothing seems to break or show a message.
Is there something simple I'm missing? I've tried CONFPI05 and CONFPM05.
CONFPI05 is for process orders. CONFPM05 is for plant maintenance orders. First you need to check which kind of order you use. I assume you use production orders. You should check User-Exit CONFPP05 than.
Anyway, I would recommend using BAdI WORKORDER_CONFIRM. Within this BAdI there are methods available where you can raise an error message.
From the BAdI documentation:
Note that in the methods, no system messages may be sent. The only
exceptions are the AT_SAVE and AT_CANCEL_CHECK methods. Within these
methods, a system message may be issued, but only if you trigger the
exception ERROR_WITH_MESSAGE (for AT_SAVE method) or NOT_ALLOWED (for
AT_CANCEL_CHECK method) at the same time.
Note also that within the methods, the "commit work" instruction may
not be carried out because this would lead to incorrect data in the
database.
I strongly recommend not to use MESSAGE statement in any User-Exit or BAdI implementation. The MESSAGE statement will implicit call a COMMIT WORK which could cause database inconsistencies (happens very often by the way).
One additional note. You should check using Checkpoint Groups instead of using BREAK-POINT or BREAK username directly.
I checked the documentation:
CONFPI05 to update your own data after saving the confirmation
In another documentation I found another warning:
In this customer enhancement it is strictly forbidden to send error messages or other messages because otherwise there is the danger that data will be inconsistent. SAP cannot be held responsible for this!!
This sounds like changes in update task. By default breakpoints in update task are not enabled.
Should your code be processed after you pushed save?
If yes, what you can try:
Set anywhere a breakpoint. Or try /h during data insertion.
In debug screen activate the update debugging:
Continue the process with F8.
Hopefully you stop at your break-point.
Is it possible to write a plugin for Glimpse's existing SQL tab?
I'm trying to log my SQL queries and the currently available extensions don't support our in-house SQL libary. I have written a custom plugin which logs what I want, but it has limited functionality and it doesn't integrate with the existing SQL tab.
Currently, I'm logging to my custom plugin using a single helper method inside my DAL's base class. This function looks takes the SqlCommand and Duration in order to show data on my custom tab:
// simplified example:
Stopwatch sw = Stopwatch.StartNew();
sqlCommand.Connection = sqlConnection;
sqlConnection.Open();
object result = sqlCommand.ExecuteScalar();
sqlConnection.Close();
sw.Stop();
long duration = sw.ElapsedMilliseconds;
LogSqlActivity(sqlCommand, null, duration);
This works well on my 'custom' tab but unfortunately means I don't get metrics shown on Glimpse's HUD:
Is there a way I can provide Glimpse directly with the info it needs (in terms of method names, and parameters) so it displays natively on the SQL tab?
The following advise is based on the fact that you can't use DbProviderFactory and you can't use a proxied SqlCommand, etc.
The data that appears in the "out-of-the-box" SQL tab is based on messages of given types been published through our internal Message Broker (see below on information on this). Because of the above limitations in your case, to get things lighting up correctly (i.e. your data showing up in HUD and the SQL tab), you will need to simulate the work that we do under the covers when we publish these messages. This shouldn't be that difficult and once done, should just work moving forward.
If you have a look at the various proxies we have here you will be above to see what messages we publish in what circumstances. Here are some highlights:
DbCommand
Log command start - here
Log command error - here
Log command end - here
DbConnection:
Log connection open - here
Log connection closed - here
DbTransaction
Log Started - here
Log committed - here
Log rollback - here
Other
Command row count here - Glimpses calculates this at the DbDataReader level but you could do it elsewhere as well
Now that you have an idea of what messages we are expecting and how we generate them, as long as you pass in the right data when you publish those messages, everything should just light up - if you are interested here is the code that looks for the messages that you will be publishing.
Message Broker: If you at the GlimpseConfiguration here you will see how to access the Broker. This can be done statically if needed (as we do here). From here you can publish the messages you need.
Helpers: For generating some of the above messages, you can use the helpers inside the Support class here. I would have shifted all the code for publishing the actual messages to this class, but I didn't think there would be too many people doing what you are doing.
Update 1
Starting point: With the above approach you shouldn't need to write your own plugin. You should just be able to access the broker GlimpseConfiguration.GetConfiguredMessageBroker() (make sure you check if its null, which it is if Glimpse is turned off, etc) and publish your messages.
I would imagine that you would put the inspection that leverages the broker and published the messages, where ever you have knowledge of the information that needs to be collected (i.e. inside your custom lib). Normally this would require references inside your lib to glimpse (which you may not want), so to protect against this, from your lib, you would call a proxy (which could be another VS proj) that has the glimpse dependency. Hence your ado lib only has references to your own code.
To get your toes wet, try just publishing a couple of fake connection and command messages. Assuming the broker you get from GlimpseConfiguration.GetConfiguredMessageBroker() isn't null, these should just show up. Then you can work towards getting real data into it from your lib.
Update 2
Obsolete Broker Access
Its marked as obsolete because its going to change in v2. You will still be able to do what you need to do, but the way of accessing the broker has changed. For what you currently need to do this is ok.
Sometimes null
As you have found this is really dependent on where in the page lifecycle you are currently at. To get around this, I would probably change my original recommendation a little.
In the code where you are currently creating messages and pushing them to the message bus, try putting them into HttpContext.Current.Items. If you haven't used it before, this is a store which asp.net provides out of the box which lasts the lifetime of a given request. You could have a list that you put in there, still create the message objects that you are doing, but put them into that list instead of pushing them through the broker.
Then, create a HttpModule (its really simple to do) which taps into the PostLogRequest event. Within this handler, you would pull the list out of the context, iterate through it and push the message into the message broker (accessing the same way you have been).
I am trying to write 2 Axis2 handlers but there is there is something missing I can't put my hand on
The first handler is supposed to start at the very beginning before anything else, it will read the message header, parse the information I want from it and save it to a file then move on.
The second handler will execute after Axis2's Rampart finishes operation, which I assume is after the security phase. It will read the file and execute the logic on it (it wont touch the message contex)
I tried reading the guide on Axis2's website but it was not very beginner friendly, if someone can guide me to a simple way to approach this I would be thankful
You have to make the handlers in order. That is, you have to add the execution phases(In/out/fault flows) and define your handlers in order there. For example, check the axis2.xml, and how they defined the phases/handlers there.

I have a program that checks if a file is present every 3 seconds, using webrequest and webresponse. If that file is present it does something if not, ect, that part works fine. I have a web page that controls the program by creating the file with a message and other variables as entered into the page, and then creates it and shoots it over to the folder that the program is checking. There is also a "stop" button that deletes that file.
This works well except that after one message is launched and then deleted, when it is launched the second time with a different message the program still sees the old message. I watch the file be deleted in IIS, so that is not the issue.
I've thought about meta tags to prevent caching, but would having the file be dynamically named solve this issue also? How would I make the program be able to check for a file where only the first part of the filename is known? I've found solutions for checking directories on local machines, but that won't work here.
Any ideas welcome, thanks.
I'm not that used to IIS, but in Apache you can create a .htaccess and set/modify HTTP-Headers.
With 'Cache-Control' you can tell a proxy/browser not to cache a file.
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec13.html
A solution like this may work in IIS too if it is really a cache problem.
(To test this, open using your preffered browser with caching turned off
A simple hack is to add something unique to the url each time
http://www.yourdomain.com/yourpage.aspx?random=123489797
Adding a random number to the URL forces it to be fresh. Even if you don't use the querystring param, IIS doesnt know that, so executes the page again anyways.
