Is getting the General ID same as getting FormattedID in rally? - rally

I am trying to get the ID under "General" from a feature item in rally. This is my query:
body = { "find" => {"_ProjectHierarchy" => projectID, "_TypeHierarchy" => "PortfolioItem/Feature"
},
"fields" => ["FormattedID","Name","State","Release","_ItemHierarchy","_TypeHierarchy","Tags"],
"hydrate" => ["_ItemHierarchy","_TypeHierarchy","Tags"],
"fetch"=>true
}
I am not able to get any value for FormattedID, I tried using "_UnformattedID" but it pulls up an entirely different value than the FormattedID. Any help would be appreciated.

LBAPI does not have FormattedID field. You are correct using _UnformattedID. It is the FormattedID without the prefix. For example, this query:
https://rally1.rallydev.com/analytics/v2.0/service/rally/workspace/1111/artifact/snapshot/query.js?find={"_ProjectHierarchy":2222,"_TypeHierarchy":"PortfolioItem/Feature","State":"Developing",_ValidFrom: {$gte: "2013-06-01TZ",$lt: "2013-09-01TZ"}},sort:{_ValidFrom:-1}}&fields=["_UnformattedID","Name","State"]&hydrate=["State"]&compress=true&pagesize:200
shows _UnformattedID that correspond to FormattedID as this screenshot shows:
I noticed your are using fields and fetch . Per LBAPI's documentation, it uses fields rather than fetch. If you want to get all fields, use fields=true
As far as the missing custom fields, make sure that the custom field value was set within the dates of the query.
Compare these almost identical queries: the first query does not return a custom field, the second query does.
Query #1:
https://rally1.rallydev.com/analytics/v2.0/service/rally/workspace/1111/artifact/snapshot/query.js?find={"_ProjectHierarchy":2222,"_TypeHierarchy":"PortfolioItem/Feature","State":"Developing",_ValidFrom: {$gte: "2013-06-01TZ",$lt: "2013-09-01TZ"}}}&fields=["_UnformattedID","Name","State","c_PiCustomField"]&hydrate=["State","c_PiCustomField"]
Query #2:
https://rally1.rallydev.com/analytics/v2.0/service/rally/workspace/11111/artifact/snapshot/query.js?find={"_ProjectHierarchy":2222,"_TypeHierarchy":"PortfolioItem/Feature","State":"Developing",__At: "current"}&fields=["_UnformattedID","Name","State","c_PiCustomField"]&hydrate=["State","c_PiCustomField"]
The first query uses time period: _ValidFrom: {$gte: "2013-06-01TZ",$lt: "2013-09-01TZ"}
The second query uses __At: "current"
Let's say I just create a new custom field on PortfolioItem. It is not possible to create a custom field on PorfolioItem/Feature, so the field is created on PI, but both queries still use "_TypeHierarchy":"PortfolioItem/Feature".
After I created this custom field, called PiCustomField, I set a value of that field for a specific Feature, F4.
The first query does not have a single snapshot that includes that field because that field did not exist in the time period we lookback. We can't change the past.
The second query returns this field for F4. It does not return it for other Features because all other Features do not have this field set.
Here is the screenshot:

How to sort connection type into only 2 rows in Qlik sense

I have a column named Con_TYPE in which there are multiple types of connections such as fiberoptic, satellite, 3g etc.
And I want to sort them only into 2 rows:
fiberoptic
5
others
115
Can anybody help me?
Thanks in advance
You can use Calculated dimension or Mapping load
Lets imagine that the data, in its raw form, looks like this:
dimension: Con_TYPE
measure: Sum(value)
Calculated dimension
You can add expressions inside the dimension. If we have a simple if statement as an expression then the result is:
dimension: =if(Con_TYPE = 'fiberoptic', Con_TYPE, 'other')
measure: Sum(Value)
Mapping load
Mapping load is a script function so we'll have to change the script a bit:
// Define the mapping. In our case we want to map only one value:
// fiberoptic -> fiberoptic
// we just want "fiberoptic" to be shown the same "fiberoptic"
TypeMapping:
Mapping
Load * inline [
Old, New
fiberoptic, fiberoptic
];
RawData:
Load
Con_TYPE,
value,
// --> this is where the mapping is applied
// using the TypeMapping, defined above we are mapping the values
// in Con_TYPE field. The third parameter specifies what value
// should be given if the field value is not found in the
// mapping table. In our case we'll chose "Other"
ApplyMap('TypeMapping', Con_TYPE, 'Other') as Con_TYPE_Mapped
;
Load * inline [
Con_TYPE , value
fiberoptic, 10
satellite , 1
3g , 7
];
// No need to drop "TypeMapping" table since its defined with the
// "Mapping" prefix and Qlik will auto drop it at the end of the script
And we can use the new field Con_TYPE_Mapped in the ui. And the result is:
dimension: Con_TYPE_Mapped
measure: Sum(Value)
Pros/Cons
calculated dimension
+ easy to use
+ only UI change
- leads to performance issues on mid/large datasets
- have to be defined (copy/paste) per table/chart. Which might lead to complications if have to be changed across the whole app (it have to be changed in each object where defined)
mapping load
+ no performance issues (just another field)
+ the mapping table can be defined inline or loaded from an external source (excel, csv, db etc)
+ the new field can be used across the whole app and changing the values in the script will not require table/chart change
- requires reload if the mapping is changed
P.S. In both cases selecting Other in the tables will correctly filter the values and will show data only for 3g and satellite

Woocommerce, update ACF field and short description with SQL

I've got a WooCommerce set up where I currently need to do two things. The first is to move data that is currently in the post.excerpt field to an ACF field that I've created specifically for the purpose while the second is to update the post.excerpt field with new data. All the product data is in SQL-Server Express because the product data came from another website that we're replacing with the WooCommerce one. I exported all the Woocommerce products with basic info like the product ID, SKU, Title and Post_Content and wrote a query in SQL-Server to match the two together. That's been exported as a flat file and imported into MySQL. Now I've writen a query to update the post.excerpt field but what I can't find is a way to update the ACF field in the same query (or another one).
set
'wp.posts'.'post.excerpt' = 'updatelist'.'excerpt'
From 'updatelist'
where
'wp_posts'.'ID' = 'updatelist'.'product_id'
Can anyone help? Please don't suggesting importing a CSV file. There's 180,000 products and using a csv, well it's about 10% of the way through and has taken, so far, 24 hours.
To update ACF fields, first i would usually prepare an aray of key-value pairs of ACF fields to loop over and update them:
# first prepare your array of ACF fields you need to update
acf_fields = [
'field_5f70*********' => 'product_name',
'field_5f80*********' => 'product_color',
'field_5f90*********' => 'product_price'
];
# to find the key values for your own ACF fields, just go to admin dashboard under custom fields, select your group of ACF fields and then on the "Edit Field Group" you see those keys. If you don't see them, choose "screen options" and select "fields keys".
# Now we're going to loop over them and update each field
foreach(acf_fields as $key => $name){
update_field(a, b, c);
# a = $key
# b = value to be updated which comes from your old list (from querying your list)
# c = which post it belongs to (custom query for your custom post type that contains ACF fields)
};
That's how i update my ACF fields, there are other methods using Wordpress REST API too.

Filter parent data source with a field which is in another table in D365

Some times we need to filter a form grid based on the status of the transaction reference Id. Assume that we want to show purchase orders with confirm document state in arrival overview form. The document state field is located in the purch table. For this aim, I try to outer join WMSArrivalOverviewTmp to purch table and add Range. However the results is not as I expect.
This is the code I have tried in the initialized data source event:
[FormDataSourceEventHandler(formDataSourceStr(WMSArrivalOverview, WMSArrivalOverviewTmp), FormDataSourceEventType::Initialized)]
public static void WMSArrivalOverviewTmp_OnInitialized(FormDataSource sender, FormDataSourceEventArgs e)
{
QueryBuildDataSource qbds = sender.queryBuildDataSource();
QueryBuildDataSource qbdsPO;
qbdsPO = qbds.addDataSource(tableNum(PurchTable));
qbdsPO.clearRange(fieldNum(PurchTable, DocumentState));
qbdsPO.joinMode(JoinMode::OuterJoin);
qbdsPO.fetchMode(QueryFetchMode::One2One);
qbdsPO.addLink(fieldNum(WMSArrivalOverviewTmp, InventTransRefId ),fieldNum(PurchTable, PurchId), qbds.name());
qbdsPO.relations(false);
qbdsPO.addRange(fieldNum(PurchTable, DocumentState)).value(SysQuery::value(VersioningDocumentState::Confirmed));
info(sender.query().toString());
}
This is the query which has been shown :
SELECT FIRSTFAST * FROM WMSArrivalOverviewTmp(WMSArrivalOverviewTmp)
OUTER JOIN FROM PurchTable(PurchTable_1) ON
WMSArrivalOverviewTmp.InventTransRefId = PurchTable.PurchId AND
((DocumentState = 40))
Also, I have changed the event type to query executing but I get errors:
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server][SQL Server]Error converting
data type nvarchar to bigint.
Cannot select a record in Purchase orders (PurchTable). The SQL
database has issued an error.
P.S. I have noticed that the error comes when I click on the update button after I fill one of the field in the filter section(arrival option). For example when I fill account number or warehouse. And also I have noticed that when I click on the update button while the fields are not filled in the filter section the join operation has not applied correctly, i.e., the purchase orders which have draft status are shown.
Your actual query looks correct to me. I would add that you may want to add the link between the WMSArrivalOverviewTmp.InventTransType == InventTransType::Purch (or set qbds.relations(true) so that you use the table's built in relation), but I doubt that is the root of your problem. Of course it wouldn't hurt to make sure your query works in the manner that you expect it to by converting the results of the info() call you have into SQL code and run it in SSMS to double check the result set.
Also, I'm curious why would you put the event on the datasource you are trying to manipulate? I would recommend investigating to see if it can occur on the OnModified event of the "status of the transaction reference Id". Although perhaps I am misunderstanding - if this situation is more of a "we need to happen all the time when the form loads" than a "some times we need" as you start your question off - the place to change the query is to modify it in a handler of the datasource's OnQueryExecuting event.
There are two ways of modifying the query on an event when an event occurs.
FormRun formRun = sender.formRun() as FormRun;
FormDataSource formDataSource = formRun.dataSource(formDataSourceStr(WMSArrivalOverview, WMSArrivalOverviewTmp));
//First way - get the base query and use executeQuery() to reload changes
Query query = formDataSource.query();
//modified query here.
formDataSource.executeQuery();
//Second way - get the current queryRun query and use research() to reload changes
Query query = formDataSource.queryRun.query();
//modified query here.
formDataSource.research();

Peoplesoft CreateRowset with related display record

According to the Peoplebook here, CreateRowset function has the parameters {FIELD.fieldname, RECORD.recname} which is used to specify the related display record.
I had tried to use it like the following (just for example):
&rs1 = CreateRowset(Record.User, Field.UserId, Record.UserName);
&rs1.Fill();
For &k = 1 To &rs1.ActiveRowCount
MessageBox(0, "", 999999, 99999, &rs1(&k).UserName.Name.Value);
End-for;
(Record.User contains only UserId(key), Password.
Record.UserName contains UserId(key), Name.)
I cannot get the Value of UserName.Name, do I misunderstand the usage of this parameter?
Fill is the problem. From the doco:
Note: Fill reads only the primary database record. It does not read
any related records, nor any subordinate rowset records.
Having said that, it is the only way I know to bulk-populate a standalone rowset from the database, so I can't easily see a use for the field in the rowset.
Simplest solution is just to create a view, but that gets old very soon if you have to do it a lot. Alternative is to just loop through the rowset yourself loading the related fields. Something like:
For &k = 1 To &rs1.ActiveRowCount
&rs1(&k).UserName.UserId.value = &rs1(&k).User.UserId.value;
&rs1(&k).UserName.SelectByKey();
End-for;

jqGrid/NHibernate/SQL: navigate to selected record

I use jqGrid to display data which is retrieved using NHibernate. jqGrid does paging for me, I just tell NHibernate to get "count" rows starting from "n".
Also, I would like to highlight specific record. For example, in list of employees I'd like a specific employee (id) to be shown and pre-selected in table.
The problem is that this employee may be on non-current page. E.g. I display 20 rows from 0, but "highlighted" employee is #25 and is on second page.
It is possible to pass initial page to jqGrid, so, if I somehow use NHibernate to find what page the "highlighted" employee is on, it will just navigate to that page and then I'll use .setSelection(id) method of jqGrid.
So, the problem is narrowed down to this one: given specific search query like the one below, how do I tell NHibernate to calculate the page where the "highlighted" employee is?
A sample query (simplified):
var query = Session.CreateCriteria<T>();
foreach (var sr in request.SearchFields)
query = query.Add(Expression.Like(sr.Key, "%" + sr.Value + "%"));
query.SetFirstResult((request.Page - 1) * request.Rows)
query.SetMaxResults(request.Rows)
Here, I need to alter (calculate) request.Page so that it points to the page where request.SelectedId is.
Also, one interesting thing is, if sort order is not defined, will I get the same results when I run the search query twice? I'd say that SQL Server may optimize query because order is not defined... in which case I'll only get predictable result if I pull ALL query data once, and then will programmatically in C# slice the specified portion of query results - so that no second query occur. But it will be much slower, of course.
Or, is there another way?
Pretty sure you'd have to figure out the page with another query. This would surely require you to define the column to order by. You'll need to get the order by and restriction working together to count the rows before that particular id. Once you have the number of rows before your id, you can figure what page you need to select and perform the usual paging query.
OK, so currently I do this:
var iquery = GetPagedCriteria<T>(request, true)
.SetProjection(Projections.Property("Id"));
var ids = iquery.List<Guid>();
var index = ids.IndexOf(new Guid(request.SelectedId));
if (index >= 0)
request.Page = index / request.Rows + 1;
and in jqGrid setup options
url: "${Url.Href<MyController>(c => c.JsonIndex(null))}?_SelectedId=${Id}",
// remove _SelectedId from url once loaded because we only need to find its page once
gridComplete: function() {
$("#grid").setGridParam({url: "${Url.Href<MyController>(c => c.JsonIndex(null))}"});
},
loadComplete: function() {
$("#grid").setSelection("${Id}");
}
That is, in request I lookup for index of id and set page if found (jqGrid even understands to display the appropriate page number in the pager because I return the page number to in in json data). In grid setup, I setup url to include the lookup id first, but after grid is loaded I remove it from url so that prev/next buttons work. However I always try to highlight the selected id in the grid.
And of course I always use sorting or the method won't work.
One problem still exists is that I pull all ids from db which is a bit of performance hit. If someone can tell how to find index of the id in the filtered/sorted query I'd accept the answer (since that's the real problem); if no then I'll accept my own answer ;-)
UPDATE: hm, if I sort by id initially I'll be able to use the technique like "SELECT COUNT(*) ... WHERE id < selectedid". This will eliminate the "pull ids" problem... but I'd like to sort by name initially, anyway.
UPDATE: after implemented, I've found a neat side-effect of this technique... when sorting, the active/selected item is preserved ;-) This works if _SelectedId is reset only when page is changed, not when grid is loaded.
UPDATE: here's sources that include the above technique: http://sprokhorenko.blogspot.com/2010/01/jqgrid-mvc-new-version-sources.html
