I am using a REST Connector in Qlikview and i need to pass a variable to the CUSTOM CONNECT TO Statement when connecting to a Web Service.
CUSTOM CONNECT TO "Provider=QVRestConnector.exe;url="http://test.example.com?auth=2334342assa13"
Now, instead of the auth token directly getting passed, i need to provide it at the RunTime. I tried the below but its not working.
Let vToken="a3122423421f";
"Provider=QVRestConnector.exe;url="http://test.example.com?auth=$(vToken)"
Try to replace
Let vToken="a3122423421f";
With
Let vToken='a3122423421f';
A string in QlikView is defined with the ' character, " represents for instance field names.

I'm trying to figure out how to pass a value from an order form to my server module.
For example on my order form a client can set a username, now I would like to pass the username to the server module to set the service up automatically.
Can one use placeholders in module setting fields to retrieve the data a client entered?
Any help is apprecitated.
Regards Stan
If you check the WHMCS Sample Provisioning Module, in the provisioningmodule_CreateAccount function the username is passed in $params array as $params['username'].
The same goes for the password and other config options.
I am hitting an http url and need url contents into property in jmeter.
I have done the fetching part from url,but unable to store the value in properties using the jmeter.
For e.g.
Request is like
http://url/user=admin,password=admin
I need property in jmeters
property1(user)=admin
property(password)=admin
Given you have already extracted what you need it might be easier to use __setProperty() function like:
${__setProperty(foo,bar,)}
creates "foo" property with the value of "bar"
If you still want to go the "Beanshell" way, you can use props shorthand which provides read-write access to JMeter Properties (in fact it's instance of java.util.Properties) for properties manipulation.
The Beanshell script:
props.put("foo", "bar");
will create a property "foo" having value of "bar".
Returning to your use case, if your URL looks like http://example.com/?user=admin&password=admin use the following Beanshell code:
Map parameters = ctx.getCurrentSampler().getArguments().getArgumentsAsMap();
String user = parameters.get("user");
String password = parameters.get("password");
props.put("user", user);
props.put("password", password);
should do what you need. See How to Use BeanShell: JMeter's Favorite Built-in Component guide for more information on Beanshell scripting in JMeter.
Does anyone know how to use WSO2 api manager to specify all query parameters as optional through URL pattern specification in WSO2 API Manager UI(Paath Params also present in the same URI)? for example, I have a API which will be registered in WSO2 api manager , and its uri is 'search//?type="xx"&status="yy"', currently both of these 2 query parameters (type & status) are optional and is pathparam.
I specified URL Pattern "search/{stationcode}*". Now I am calling with path param only, it gives Error "No matching resource found in the API for the given request".
I call "search/TAMK", it is not working. But if I use "search/TAMK?" or "search/TAMK*" or "search/TAMK*", it works just fine.
I tried to use "search/{stationcode}/*", but still it did not solve the issue. It is always expecting one character for queryparam. Can any one please help me to solve this. Without query parameter it should work, right?
I would suggest you to use the new API Manager (1.9) and try the following.
Create an API with the backend URL of
http://...../search
when you define the URL patterns you can define the following pattern
/{stationcode}*
and you can add 'type' and 'status' as optional parameters in the design view of the API creation page. You can choose the parameter type as 'query' and Required as 'False'
while using http adapter I need to call first service that return XML,
after receiving the response I want to change values and send back to anther service,
how can I do it ?
do http adapter has json to xml function ?
WL adapter will automatically convert XML to JSON for you, however it doesn't have any manual JSON<->XML conversion APIs.
In your case possible solution might be to retrieve XML as plaintext by supplying returnedContentType:"plain" in invocation options. Alter whatever you need using regex/string replace. Use resulting string in 2nd procedure invocation as post body.
Alternatively, you can use 3rd party library to parse/convert/do whatever you need with XML, e.g. http://www.json.org/java/ (more info about how to use it in your adapter - http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/mobile-solutions/worklight/docs/v506/04_08_Using_Java_in_adapters.pdf)
After checking number of solutions, I state the the http result will be a plain text,
then made a call to java function sending the xml as String, and used
javax.xml to hold and alter the XML.
XPath to retrieve the correct node using org.w3c.dom.*
Hope this will help you too.
Can Flash be used together with SQL? I have a Flash form and I need to connect it to SQL. If there is any example on the net about this topic. I can't find it.
You don't use ActionScript directly with an SQL database. Instead you make http requests from ActionScript to a server, specifying the correct parameters. A typical opensource setup, is a PHP script communicating with a MySQL DB, but you can use Java with Oracle, Ruby with CouchDB, .NET with SQL or any other possible configuration. The important point is that you must be able to call a server script and pass variables... typically a Restful setup.
Once your PHP script has been properly configured, you can use http POST or http GET to send values from ActionScript.
PHP:
<?php
$updateValue = $_POST["updateValue"];
$dbResult = updateDB( $updateValue ); //This should return the db response
echo( $dbResult );
?>
To call this script from ActionScript, you need to create a variables object.
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
variables.updateValue = "someResult";
The variable name .updateValue, must match the php variable exactly.
now create a URLRequest Object, specifying the location of your script. For this example the method must be set to POST. You add the variable above to the data setter of the request.
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest( "yourScript.php" );
request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
request.data = variables;
Now create a URLLoader and add an event listener. Do not pass the request created above to the constructor, but to the load method.
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete );
loader.load( request );
The handler would look something like this.
private function onComplete( e:Event ) : void
{
trace( URLLoader( e.target ).data.toString() );
}
This example shows how to update and receive a response from a server / db combo. However, you can also query a DB through the script and parse the result. So in the PHP example above, you can output JSON, XML or even a piped string, and this can be consumed by ActionScript.
XML is a popular choice, as ActionScript's e4x support treats XML like a native object.
To treat the response above like an XML response, use the following in the onComplete handler.
private function onComplete( e:Event ) : void
{
var result:XML = XML( URLLoader( e.target ).data );
}
This will throw an error if your xml is poorly formed, so ensure the server script always prints out valid XML, even if there is a DB error.
The problem with this is giving someone a flash file that directly accesses SQL server is very insecure. Even if it's possible, which I have seen SOCKET classes out there to do so for MySQL (though never used it), allowing users to remotely connect to your DB is insecure as the user can sniff the login information.
In my opinion, the best way to do this is to create a Client/Server script. You can easily do this with PHP or ASP.net by using SendAndLoad to send the data you need to pass to SQL via POST fields. You can then send back the values in PHP with:
echo 'success='.+urlencode(data);
With this, flash can access the data via the success field.
I don't personally code flash but I work with a company who develops KIOSK applications for dozens of tradeshow companies, and my job is to store the data, return it to them. This is the method we use. You can make it even cleaner by using actual web services such as SOAP, but this method gets the job done if its just you using it.
You should look into Zend Amf or even the Zend Framework for server side communication with Flash. As far as I know Zend Amf is the fastest way to communicate with PHP ( therefore your database ) also you can pass & return complex Objects from the client to the server and vice versa.
Consider this , for instance. You have a bunch of data in your database , you implement functions in ZF whereas this data is formatted and set as a group of Value Objects. From Flash , you query ZF , Zf queries the database , retrieve & formats your data, return your Value Objects as a JSON string ( for instance ). In Flash, you retrieve you JSON string , decode it and assign your Value Objects to whatever relevant classes you have.
There are plenty of tutorials out there regarding Flash communication with the Zend Framework.
Here's an example:
