Maximo 7.6.1.1:
I have a custom field in PMs called SAVEDASSETQUERY.
I would like to add a domain to this field that is a list of all saved asset queries that the user has access to.
It would be ideal if the domain were dynamic. If a new saved asset query were added to Maximo, then it would automatically show up in the domain/field in the PM application.
The reason for doing this is: I want to avoid data entry errors in the SAVEDASSETQUERY field.
Is it possible to do this with automation scripting, or would it require Java customization?
You could use a standard TABLE domain on the QUERY table object to achieve this. To filter on the user's queries (attribute OWNER), you would use the :&USERNAME& special bind variable.

How can I get the dynamic attributes from a DDLRecord inside an Application Display Template (ADT) that has an Asset Publisher type using Freemarker?
As far as I know, I don’t have any other choice that doesn’t involve an Asset Publisher ADT, since I use the filters provided by the Asset Publisher. In case you need context, my Dynamic Data List (DDL) has a date attribute and I need to show the record from the latest date.
It is totally possible to get dynamic attributes from the asset publisher. However, you can also display your DDL inside a portlet where you can customize your display.
To do this you would need to know the unique id of the DDL (this can be gotten from your liferay admin interface) and the you can elicit the attributes and then order your list as is appropriate for you.
Check out this example

I am using E-commerce module of Kentico portal and it has two fields for Products pricing : SKUPrice and SKURetailPrice.
I needed one more field to show sell price and I added a new field in Modules application of the portal.(Modules->E-Commerce->Classes->SKU->Fields->New Field)
Now, I need to access this field in my code,but SKUInfo class doesn't show me the newly added field.What I need to do so that the newly added field reflects in my project code ?
I have already build the entire solution multiple times.Any other solutions please.
You can use GetValue and SetValue methods for such fields like this:
SKUInfo sku = ...;
string a = sku.GetValue("field").ToString();
sku.SetValue("field", "value");
JanH has the answer for custom fields you set, also keep in mind though that there is a "SKUCustomData" for other information that you want to store. It takes a Name-Value pair dictionary if memory serves me correctly, and useful if you need to store configuration information or other things that won't be located on the normal SKU table.
My question is pretty simple. I am working on Kentico 9 with its SQL Server database which contains several tables which had been added directly from the SQL Management Studio by an external contractor. The fact is that those tables are being used to store custom content which will be displayed for a site, but, in the code they don't have the code for making queries. I mean, they don't have Info and Provider classes.
https://docs.kentico.com/display/K82/Retrieving+database+data+using+ObjectQuery+API
According with this, all tables into the Kentico database can be accessed by invoking methods on these classes, but I don't have it this time.
Something like this, it will not work if I use my table name:
var user = UserInfoProvider.GetUserInfo("administrator");
var items = CustomTableItemProvider.GetItems("MyTable")
.TopN(10)
.WhereEquals("ItemCreatedBy", user.UserID)
.OrderBy("ItemCreatedWhen");
My question is:
can I query any table by its name?
One last thing:
I cannot declared those table as "custom table" because it seems to be a bug in the CMS.
Or you can pull data using your own SQL query:
var ds = ConnectionHelper.ExecuteQuery("select ....", null, QueryTypeEnum.SQLQuery);
Nevertheless I would recommend to create a custom class inside a custom module (much more robust than custom tables) instead and use the generated Info and InfoProvider classes to get and manipulate data.
I think an object has to be registered within the system (created through Kentico UI or API) in order to be pulled from DB with object query.
So I'd choose one of the following options:
Use Entity Framework or something similar to work with that data
Create appropriate custom tables or even custom module and push data there. Not sure why you can't create a custom table... What is an error you're getting?
If you need to present data on the UI only (without processing on the back end) - use just custom queries
Hope this helps.
If you are accessing in code then you could do it the good old fashioned way. If you want to pull data from the database to display on the website you could also do so by creating a custom query and using a transformation to display the fields, then use a repeater on the page to display the transformed data. Alternatively you can use a SQL datasource with a basic repeater, but you still have to create a transformation to display the data. Both methods allow you to access the data in the tables from within the CMS UI, no need to touch any code behind.
If your objective is to read data from these database tables to transform on webpage e.g. using CMS Repeater webpart, you can simply create custom query(s) in Kentico itself and load data using it. You can find the detail here on how to create custom custom queries and load data using it.
On the other hand you can also write your custom classes and define the custom methods where you can pull data using your own SQL query like this:
var ds = ConnectionHelper.ExecuteQuery("select ....", null, QueryTypeEnum.SQLQuery);
Lastly I don't think there should be any issue to create custom table instead of those direct DB tables, only thing we have to ensure code name of custom table should be unique means don't try to use exact same name because it'll cause exception due to same table name already exist in DB. You can please share exception you getting while creating custom table so that I can help you out further.
I would like to create work order using escalation once the asset is moved to some other location (like REPAIR) using move/modify. I do understand that we can trigger CREATEWO however I am not sure on how to set the values on some fields in work order like worktype, workact , etc. Also I am unable to pick the correct record which has performed move modify ( unable to fetch the exact record using ASSETTRANS table).
Let me know if anyone has done this before, thanks in advance!
It sounds like you have an Escalation calling an Action that calls the AppAction CREATEWO. Assuming that's correct..
First, create a Relationship in DB Config between the ASSET object and WORKORDER that will find the most recent work order against this asset. You can look at the NEWWORKORDER relationships on WORKORDER and TICKET as an example. For reference, I will assume you name this relationship MYNEWWORKORDER.
Next, create some Actions against the ASSET object that use MYNEWWORKORDER.<ATTRIBUTENAME> in the Parameter/Attribute field, where <ATTRIBUTENAME> is the name of the attribute (e.g. WORKTYPE) you want to supply a value for in the Value field.
Once that is done, create an Action of type Action Group where CREATEWO is the first member and the Actions you just made are the succeeding members.
Finally, update the Escalation to call your new Action Group instead of the numbered one that the Escalation application created for you.
I have an odd issue.
I have client that wants a sharepoint list what is populated from a WCFService. That part is working quite well.
I have a bdcmodel that is mapping the WCF data and I can create an external list from the bdcmodel as well so that is working fine.
The issue I have is that one of the properties in the model is actually a collection of entities called Attributes. The objects in this collection simply have 2 properties Name and Value so really they are just a key value pair.
The client wants to see the list of attributes of the parent entity in the external list. So there would be an Attributes column and within that column would be the list of attributes for each parent object.
Is there even a way to do this? I am looking into Custom Field Types, but it seems like these are really intended to be singular values.
How would I create a list within and external list?
Any help anyone can give would be great even if its just to tell me that there really isn't a stable way to do this so I can go back to the client and tell them we will need to build a custom list to support this because the OOB external list and custom fields and custom field types won't support this kind of nested listing.
I decided to set up the custom field as a string and when I get my collection in from the BdcModel I am serializing it to JSON and then passing it to the field. When the field is viewed in display, edit or new I have overridden the FieldRenderingControl and I am tiling the collection out that way.
