Reload just one tab in Qlikview - qlikview

How can we reload one tab , means one request of many in QLikview.
PS:
I have one request per tab
Help appreciated
Thank you

If you are talking about 1 tab in the front end of QlikView you cannot refresh it as the entire model is driven by the underlying data and data structure.
You can set up partial reloads that will reload only certain tables of in that data.

One request per tab is not ideal, recommended practice is that separate data is held in separate Qlikview documents.
However, this can be achieved - using variables and locally stored QVD's and the script below. You can also control variable values on the UI using buttons and actions on objects. The QVD's hold the data and are only reloaded when expressly requested.
//choose which data to load 1 = load query from scratch
Let vLoadQuery1=1;
Let vLoadQuery2=0;
Let vLoadQuery3=0;
Let vLoadQuery4=0;
Let vLoadQuery5=0;
if vLoadQuery1=1 then
//Enter load details and capture in local QVD
//Load
Query1:
LOAD *;
SQL select * from some.data;
//Store
STORE * from Query1 into Query1.qvd (qvd);
Drop Table Query1;
ENDIF
//Load from QVD - if this hasn't been loaded on this reload, it will grab the previous data
NewQuery1:
LOAD *
FROM Query1.qvd (qvd);

Store Axios data into Global Variable

I am trying to store the response data from an axios call into a global variable permenantly instead of it being called every time upon refresh. Since the json file is pretty large it takes the site around 2-4 seconds to load and I want this to only load once on start up
You have multiple choices :
You can use a store, like vuex : https://vuex.vuejs.org/fr/guide/
Which allow your to store datas in an object outside of your component and call il from where you want
If it is a paginated list, you can use a dynamic pagination to load chunks of your datas :
Imagine, you have 10000 items, your user can only see 20 items per page, so just load 5 first pages, and each time the user click on next button, load 20 next elements (It's an exemple, you can improve it at your convinience)
Or your can combine both ;)

ColdFusion/CFWheels Merge Multiple PDFs in different Controllers

I'm using Coldfusion 10 and CFWheels for my site.
Basically my site has a bunch of different types of forms with their own Controllers and views. For each form, the user has the option to dynamically generate a PDF of the form and download it. It basically loads the controller data but when it hits the view with a parameter of "pdf" it does the following which will generate the PDF and open the document in the browser:
<cfdocument format="PDF" saveAsName="#formtype#_#id#.pdf">
#includePartial("/printView")#
</cfdocument>
Each of these PDFs can have multiple pages depending on how many line items are added. Like I said in the beginning there are multiple types of forms so they will have their own controller and views and PDF generation with their print views. These forms are all customized and associated together with an ID like shipmentID. So I can have one shipment that contains 2 forms of type A and 1 form of type B and 3 of type C, etc. What I need to do is generate 1 PDF with all the forms merged together based on the shipment. So taking my example, the merged PDF for the shipment would contain the 2 forms of type A, 1 form of type B, and 3 of type C all merged.
Currently what I'm doing is making a http "GET" call to each of the dynamically generated PDF pages, save that to a temp directory, then merging them at the end.
I load the shipment and for each different type of form I do the following where urlPath is the path to the view that generates the dynamic PDF:
var httpService = new http();
httpService.setMethod("GET");
httpService.setUrl(urlPath);
invoice = httpService.send().getPrefix().filecontent.toByteArray();
var fullPath = "#filePath##arguments.type#_#id#.pdf";
//write files in temp directory
FileWrite(fullPath, invoice);
After I get the PDF and write it to a file, I save the path in an array for reference so I can loop through and merge all the referenced files in the array, then delete the temp directory where the files were saved.
The reason why I'm doing it this way is because the controllers and views are already set and generate the individual PDFs on the fly as it is.
If I try to load (all associated forms) and put everything in one file, I'll have to add all the same controller logic to load each form specific stuff and the associated views but these already exist for the individual page view.
Is there a better way to do this?
It works fine if there are only a few PDFs but if there a lot of different forms in the shipment like 20, then it's very slow and since we don't have CF Enterprise, I believe the cfdocument is single threaded. The forms have to be generated dynamically so they contain the most current data.
UPDATE for Chris
I've added some code to show what the various forms might look like. I validate and load a bunch of other things but I stripped it down to get the general idea:
controllers/Invoices.cfc
The path might be something like: /shipments/[shipmentkey]/invoices/[key]
public void function show(){
// load shipment to display header details on form
shipment = model("Shipment").findOne(where="id = #params.shipmentkey#");
// load invoice details to display on form
invoice = model("Invoice").findOne(where="id = #params.key#");
// load associated invoice line items to display on form
invoiceLines = model("InvoiceLine").findAll(where="invoiceId = #params.key#");
// load associated containers to display on form
containers = model("Container").findAll(where="invoiceid = #params.key#");
// load associated snumbers to display on form
scnumbers = model("Scnumber").findAll(where="invoiceid = #params.key#");
}
controllers/Permits.cfc
The path might be something like: /shipments/[shipmentkey]/permits/[key]
public void function show(){
// load shipment to display header details on form
shipment = model("Shipment").findOne(where="id = #params.shipmentkey#");
// load permit details to display on form
permit = model("Permit").findOne(where="id = #params.key#");
// load associated permit line items to display on form
permitLines = model("PermitLine").findAll(where="permitId = #params.key#");
}
controllers/Nafta.cfc
The path might be something like: /shipments/[shipmentkey]/naftas/[key]
public void function show(){
// load shipment to display header details on form
shipment = model("Shipment").findOne(where="id = #params.shipmentkey#");
// load NAFTA details to display on form
nafta = model("NAFTA").findOne(where="id = #params.key#");
// load associated NAFTA line items to display on form
naftaLines = model("NaftaLine").findAll(where="naftaId = #params.key#");
}
Currently my view is based on a URL parameter called "view" where the values can be either "print" or "pdf".
print - displays the print view that's pretty much a stripped down version of the form without the webpage headers/footers etc.
pdf - calls the cfdocument code I pasted at the top of the question which uses the printView to generate the PDF.
I don't think I need to post the "show.cfm" code as it would just be a bunch of divs and tables displaying the specific information for each particular form in question.
Keep in mind that these are only 3 example form types and there are 10+ types that may be associated to 1 shipment and the PDF's would need to be merged. Each type may repeat several times within a shipment as well. For example a shipment may contain 10 different invoices with 5 permits and 3 NAFTAs.
To make things slightly more complicated, a shipment can have 2 types: US Bound or Canada Bound and based on this different form types can be associated to the shipment. So an Invoice for Canada will have totally different fields than an invoice for US so the models/tables are different.
Currently to do the merging I have a controller that does something like the following (note that I stripped a lot of validation, loading of other objects to simplify)
public any function displayAllShipmentPdf(shipmentId){
// variable to hold the list of full paths of individual form PDFs
formList = "";
shipment = model("shipment").findOne(where="id = #arguments.shipmentId#");
// path to temporarily store individual form PDFs for later merging
filePath = "#getTempDirectory()##shipment.clientId#/";
if(shipment.bound eq 'CA'){
// load all invoices associated to shipment
invoices = model("Invoice").findAll(where="shipmentId = #shipment.id#");
// go through all associated invoices
for(invoice in invoices){
httpService = new http();
httpService.setMethod("get");
// the following URL loads the invoice details in the Invoice controller and since I'm passing in "view=pdf" the view will display the PDF inline in the browser.
httpService.setUrl("http://mysite/shipments/#shipment.id#/invoices/#invoice.id#?view=pdf");
invoicePdf = httpService.send().getPrefix().fileContent.toByteArray();
fullPath = "#filePath#invoice_#invoice.id#.pdf";
// write the file so we can merge later
FileWrite(fullPath, invoicePdf);
// append the fullPath to the formList as reference for later merging
formList = ListAppend(formList, fullPath);
}
// the above code would be similarly repeated for every other form type (ex. Permits, NAFTA, etc.). So it would call the path with the "view=pdf" which will load the specific form Controller and display the PDF inline which we capture and create a temporary PDF file and add the path to the formList for later merging. You can see how this can be a long process as you have several types of forms associated to a shipment and there can be numerous forms of each type in the shipment and I don't want to have to repeat each form Controller data loading logic.
}else if(shipment.bound eq 'US'){
// does similar stuff to the CA except with different forms
}
// merge the PDFs in the formList
pdfService = new pdf();
// formList contains all the paths to the different form PDFs to be merged
pdfService.setSource(formList);
pdfService.merge(destination="#filePath#shipment_#shipment.id#.pdf");
// read the merged PDF
readPdfService = new pdf();
mergedPdf = readPdfService.read(source="#filePath#shipment_#shipment.id#.pdf");
// delete the temporarily created PDF files and directory
DirectoryDelete(filePath, "true");
// convert to binary to display inline in browser
shipmentPdf = toBinary(mergedPdf);
// set the response to display the merged PDF
response = getPageContext().getFusionContext().getResponse();
response.setContentType('application/pdf');
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","filename=shipment_#shipment.id#_#dateFormat(now(),'yyyymmdd')#T#timeFormat(now(),'hhmmss')#.pdf");
response.getOutputStream().writeThrough(shipmentPdf);
}
See: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1121909 ... "...Standard Edition Adobe throttles the PDF functions to a single thread,...Developer runs like Enterprise" so your development environment will whip out the pdfs but your CF Standard production server will be choking.
Also, seems you are not having trouble with one or two pdfs. I have CF Enterprise and it was generating pdfs just fine - a few seconds - and then out of nowhere pdfs started taking 4 minutes. Another comment in the above referenced adobe post suggested check in the /etc/hosts that CF is contacting itself (?????). Well some digging and I found that the Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts had been updated a day before users discovered pdfs were timing out. The IP had been changed to some other intranet IP and the server name was the DNS server name. I changed the value back to 127.0.0.1 localhost and voila, pdfs started rendering in normal amounts of time.

Qlik View: Retrive Last Reload of another report

In a qlik report(Main Report) i have a text object with an action that open another report. Is there the possibility to show in the text object located in the Main Report the last Reloadtime date of the report that i open with the action ?
thank's
while reloading the other report,
use:
T1:
Load reloadtime() as reloadTime autogenerate(1);
store T1 into T1.qvd;
in the Main report file:
Load * from T1.qvd (qvd);
you can also use *add* Load * from T1.qvd (qvd); if you want to use partial reload.
thats it :)
i can use filetime() function but the last change is not necessarily the date of the last reloadtime().
I could store these information externally in a txt-file which you read in your target-application as include-variable. This will require a reload from the target. As alternatively could these value be stored in a database and read then per direct discovery without a reload.
A further option could be to transfer these information per selections by opening: AJAX and URL parameters maybe by selection a loosen dummy-date-table and these selection will then be queried per getfieldselections().

Data not updated in dhtmlx .net scheduler

I have problems and questions about this scheduler. I already tried to build and almost finished it. Although, I receive some errors...
What I do?
I create custom lightbox
mapping all the data in to table dbo.bEvent
I used custom eventbox like this : Scheduler.Templates.event_text = "({position_desc})" + " " + "{newrate}"
position_desc is actually from other table 'dbo.zone'
I create Views in SQL Server to retrieve data from 'newrate'. 'newrate' actually is a new attribute after I do some query to change rate "1000 to 1k" which is new rate save '1k'.
the views that I create by joining table "dbo.zone and dbo.bEvent"
Problem is?
when I save a new data or insert or update new data. my event box just give me '(Undefine)undefine'
all the data that i put in lightbox is save in dbo.bEvent
after I resfresh the page using f5 or navigate to next page or previous page then the data is updated.
Here i attach some screenshot. Thanks in advance

If you save the changes as described here http://scheduler-net.com/docs/lightbox.html#define_crud_logic ,
note that the method uses SchedulerFormResponseScript class to render the response.
Constructor takes instance of the event class to be returned to the client. Values of that event will be applied to the related event on the client-side
return (new SchedulerFormResponseScript(action, changedEvent));
make sure object that you send (changedEvent) has all data properties initialized. Basically the event should have the same data as when it is loaded from the Data action.
Alternative solution, which may be more straightforward, would be reload calendar data with the client-side api after saving event:
scheduler.clearAll();
scheduler.load("dataUrl", "json");

How to use a hidden page item within an SQL report query without submitting

Using: Oracle ApEx 3.0.1
I have a SQL report region that contains a hidden page item as part of the "where clause". My problem is, based on a value entered by the user, I need to assign this value entered to my hidden item, so that it can be used within the where condition of my SQL but this would need to be done without actually submitting the form.
At the moment, I can set the value via an on-demand process but my SQL is still not returning any values as the hidden page item within the query is not set (as page has not been submitted).
I am not sure how to do this and whether in actual fact, this is possible to do, without having submitted the page.
Since you are on Apex 3, you don't have dynamic actions, but that doesn't hinder so much.
I've set up an example on apex.oracle.com. To get in the workspace, use workspace 'tompetrusbe' + apex_demo / demo.
There is a dynamic action there, which can do the work too, but i've disabled it.
What you need to make it work:
an ajax callback process, with the following line:
apex_util.set_session_state('P2_PAR_ENAME', apex_application.g_x01);
Give your report region a static id, i called mine 'report_emp'. This so i can easily retrieve it.
In the javascript region of the page, you then need to call the app process, and then refresh the region. Also bind the event which needs to trigger this action. I've done it here through the onchange event of the parameter textfield.
function refresh_report(oTrgEl){
//alert('refresh: ' + $v(oTrgEl));
//calling the application process which sets the session state of P2_PAR_ENAME
var oGet = new htmldb_Get(null, &APP_ID., 'APPLICATION_PROCESS=set_session_state', &APP_PAGE_ID.);
oGet.addParam("x01", $v(oTrgEl));
oGet.get(); //the app process just sets something, it returns nothing
//refresh the report region
$("#report_emp").trigger("apexrefresh");
};
function bind_events(){
//call this onload
$("#P2_PAR_ENAME").change(function(){refresh_report(this);});
};
In the query of the report i use where ename like '%'||UPPER(:P2_PAR_ENAME)||'%'.
When you type (for example) 'bl' in, and tab out (to trigger the onchange), the region will refresh and will be filtered.
You'll just need to adapt to your solution :)
