Inside Logic App:
In my set variable of type string, I am trying to use the following expression. What is the problem here? I get the following error message. The same expression works perfectly for setting the filename in my create blob action.
formatDateTime(convertTimeZone(utcNow(),'UTC','GMT Standard Time'),'yyyy-MM-dd')
After reproducing from my end, I could see that the mentioned expression was working fine. Instead of using formatDateTime and convertTimeZone separately, According to convertTimeZone syntax you can directly use the required format within convertTimeZone itself. Below is the complete expression that will work.
convertTimeZone(utcNow(),'UTC','GMT Standard Time','yyyy-MM-dd')
According to the Official Microsoft documentation, the GMT Standard Time and UTC are in the same timezone and doesn't have any time difference. If that's the case you can use only formatDateTime and format the date time in required format.
formatDateTime(utcNow(),'yyyy-MM-dd')
Result :

I'm new to JMeter so this question may sound absolutely dumb...
I have a loop in which a variable (let's say it is called "raw") is being changed and written to file every iteration. The variable contains HTML encoded text so it has to be converted into plain text. I found out this can be done using __unescapeHtml function. When I tried using it worked but I ended up always receiving the same text as on the first iteration. Then I learned that I have to use vars.get instead of ${} to access a variable. So I changed ${__unescapeHtml("${raw}")} to ${__unescapeHtml(vars.get("raw")} which kind of helped: vars.get is getting the new value of raw each iteration but __unescapeHtml didn't work at all now - it just returns the encoded text from raw. I didn't succeded finding anything about this exact problem so I'm kind of stuck.
Ended up using
import org.apache.commons.lang3.StringEscapeUtils
...
StringEscapeUtils.unescapeHtml4(vars.get("raw"))
Don't know if it is a good way to do this but at least it works.
I assume, that you are using the expression ${...} inside a JSR-223 sampler or similar context. The user manual for JSR-223 Sampler states, that those scripts can be cached by JMeter. That is why you only get the values from the first time the context gets created.
The same is true for simple variable evaluations as ${varname}, as for function calls like ${__unescapeHtml(...)}.
The solution here is:
don't use ${...} inside of JSR-223 contexts, that might be cached.
you can however pass those expressions (${...}) into the context by using them as parameters through the input labeled Parameters on the JSR-223 Sampler – again assuming, that you are using it.
you can use the features, that your chosen JSR-223 context gives you, as you have done, by using the StringEscapeUtils#unescapeHtml4
In ADFv2 I'm looking up a date and passing it to an Azure Function. I can pass just the data like so:
#activity('GetLastDateProcessed').output.firstRow.LastDateProcessed
However if I embed this into a JSON string like this:
{"lastProcessDate":"#activity('GetLastDateProcessed').output.firstRow.LastDateProcessed"}
I get this {"lastProcessDate":"#activity('GetLastDateProcessed').output.firstRow.LastDateProcessed"} instead of {"lastProcessDate":"2019-11-13"} as input into function.
Last I've tried to use a parameter with no success also.
#concat('{"lastProcessDate":"', string(pipeline().parameters.lastProcessDate), '"}')
The problem here is the parameter was not set. I set the parameter like this:
#activity('GetLastDateProcessed').output.firstRow.LastDateProcessed
However this is a default value and is never dynamically updated. If I can update this string then the #concat method will work, but haven't been able to figure out how to dynamically update a parameter for the pipeline.
Another option could be a pipeline variable, but I don't know how to reference the variable.
How do I concat strings together with dynamic content?
I think what you are missing is that when you use the at-sign '#' in the json string you should follow it with a curly bracket '{'
In your example it will look something like this:
{"lastProcessDate":"#{activity('GetLastDateProcessed').output.firstRow.LastDateProcessed}"}
here is the source (found it in the comments):
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/azure-functions-now-supported-as-a-step-in-azure-data-factory-pipelines/#:~:text=Azure%20Data%20Factory%20(ADF)%20is,in%20your%20data%20factory%20pipelines.
I was able to get this to work by creating a second pipeline. This is not optimal, but works for people running into this same issue. Hopefully someone finds a better solution than this!
From the first pipeline I set the second pipelines parameter with this:
#activity('GetLastDateProcessed').output.firstRow.LastDateProcessed
I named the parameter in the second pipeline lastProcessDate so then this worked:
#concat('{"lastProcessDate":"', string(pipeline().parameters.lastProcessDate), '"}')
This is not straight forward and can't be how Microsoft is expecting us to solve this!
I was able to achieve this with command.
{
"storedprocedure":"storedProcName",
"params":"#{variables('currentDt')}"
}
I have noticed that the date and time fields being returned to me from the Nest API are not matching the format that the API documentation lists.
For my thermostat, I am getting the following for last_connection:
"last_connection": "2014-10-27T20:22:12.165Z"
But the API documentation lists it should be formatted as:
"last_connection": "2014-10-27T20:22:12+06:00"
Why is the Nest API returning milliseconds to me and why am I getting the character "Z" instead of the actual timezone offset that the date/time is coming from?
It looks like the example is incorrect with respect to the actual implementation. If you look at the API Reference you will see the time data is all in ISO 8601, which support both string types.
This also means you should likely use a library to support ISO 8601, rather than manually parsing the string if possible.
I am trying to do an XSL transform on an xml structure in a bpel assignment statement. There is a syntax problem, but I am having trouble finding official documentation. There are examples all over the internet but I have not found a clear explanation. Here is my best shot. What do the last two parameters do? Why is eclipse saying the first argument must be a literal, even though test3.xsl is a string?
<bpel:assign validate="yes" name="Assign">
<bpel:copy keepSrcElementName="no">
<bpel:from>
<![CDATA[bpel:doXslTransform("test3.xsl", $personalInfoServiceOutput.parameters), "middle", $positionSkillManagementInput]]>
</bpel:from>
<bpel:to variable="positionSkillManagementInput"></bpel:to>
</bpel:copy>
</bpel:assign>
The signature of doXSLTransform looks as follows:
object bpel:doXslTransform(string, node-set, (string, object)*)
The first parameter is the name of the XSLT script, the second parameter is an XPath identifying the source document (e.g. a variable, part, nodeset, node). The third and the fourth parameter is a key-value pair, the string is the key and the object is the value. Those pairs are mapped into the script's parameter context so that you can access these values by their name in the script. There can be any number of these pairs.
The best resource to look up such things is the WS-BPEL 2.0 specification, doXSLTransform is described in Sect. 8.4
When I use the following code :
<bpel:copy keepSrcElementName="no">
<bpel:from>
<![CDATA[bpel:doXslTransform("parseSample.xsl", $output.payload)]]>
</bpel:from>
<bpel:to variable="output"></bpel:to>
</bpel:copy>
I also get the error, that first argument must be literal string.
But, when I deploy my service (with error) to wso2 bps, it works fine.
You can try with this.
I faced the same issue. Agree with NGoyal. Shows error in BPEL but works when deployed.
I am a bit confused by what I see and hence headed over to SO.
I am developing a BizTalk (2010) Orchestration and I am wanting to parse an incoming XML message. I just need to retrieve then number of times a particular node is repeating. I could have used XPath. But, I chose to use LinqToXml.
I have created a variable of type System.Xml.Linq.XNamespace and inside an expression shape, I am assignning it a string value.. say http://mycompany/v1.0. This is a perfectly valid C# statment, as there is an implicit conversion from String to XNamespace (MSDN link).
But the Orchestration will not compile at all. I get this error cannot implicitly convert type System.String to System.Xml.Linq.XNamespace.
And if I dont use the XNamespace variable and directly run LinqToXml on the incoming message like this
MessageCount = MyXElement.Elements("{http://mycompany/v1.0}ListOfNotifications").Elements("{http://mycompany/v1.0}Notification").Count();
I get a cannot convert from String to XName error. Even this is confusing.
I am using BizTalk 2010 and C# 4.0. Can someone explain if I am missing something? I have tried all these code snippets using LinqPad and I get the expected response. So, there are no typos or missing references.
I opted to use the XPath option to retrieve the values that I needed, instead of using LinqToXml. The code that I ended up writing looks like below:
xpath(myOrchVariable, "string(/*[local-name()='InputRootNode' and namespace-uri()='http://my/name/space'])")
