Invoke autoscript (has WO object launch point) when Service Address is updated? - maximo

I have a WO in Maximo 7.6.1.1.
When a user updates the Service Address, I want to invoke an autoscript that has an Object Launch Point on the WORKORDER object.
Is there a way to invoke an autoscript (that has an object launch point on the WORKORDER object) when the Service Address is updated?

You should see if mbo.getOwner() returns something and if that something.getName() is WORKORDER and, further, the work order you are expecting it to be. Subject to all that, you can invoke that other autoscript with code like this:
from java.util import HashMap
lpVars = HashMap()
lpVars.put("mbo",mbo.getOwner())
#repeat the last line for any other implicit/explicit variables your target
#script is going to use / expect to be defined
service.invokeScript("YOURSCRIPTNAME", lpVars)
someVar = lpVars.get("someVarDefinedInYOURSCRIPTNAMEWhenItEnded")
Note the work with the lpVars variable. I use it to store the "implicit"/"explicit" variables (e.g. "mbo") that the script I'm calling will expect to be defined. Basically, I'm doing the setup a launch point normally does, since my code is the launch point. Then, since I'm the launch point, I have access to whatever variables were defined when the script ended by Maximo adding them to / updating them in lpVars.

You can create reusable "library" scripts that you can call directly as Preacher explained. See IBM example here: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSFGJ4_7.6.0/com.ibm.mbs.doc/autoscript/c_example_reuse.html
So you could have your WO object launchpoint call the library script and your SA object launchpoint calling the same. You then just need to make change to one script if needed and that's great.

I don't believe you can. An object launch point is all about telling Maximo which object to monitor for the following event(s), not exactly about which object to launch the script on (though, for various reasons, those two are necessarily tied together).
What you can do, though, is put your launch point on the service address as you really do want, but then in your script fetch the on-screen/in-memory work order that you want to do something with and do that. This is done through the getOwner() method call or the special ":owner" (maybe with the ampersands, I can't remember) relationship reference.

This is the solution I came up with:
mboName=mbo.getName()
if mboName == 'WOSERVICEADDRESS':
mboWO = mbo.getOwner()
elif mboName == 'WORKORDER':
mboWO=mbo
sax = mboWO.getDouble("SERVICEADDRESS.LONGITUDEX")
say = mboWO.getDouble("SERVICEADDRESS.LATITUDEY")
if sax and say:
mboWO.setValue("longitudex", sax)
mboWO.setValue("latitudey", say)
elif mboWO.getString("ASSETNUM") and mboWO.getBoolean("ASSET.PLUSSISGIS") == 1:
mboWO.setValue("longitudex", mboWO.getDouble("ASSET.longitudex"))
mboWO.setValue("latitudey", mboWO.getDouble("ASSET.latitudey"))
elif mboWO.getString("LOCATION") and mboWO.getBoolean("LOCATION.PLUSSISGIS") == 1:
mboWO.setValue("longitudex", mboWO.getDouble("LOCATION.longitudex"))
mboWO.setValue("latitudey", mboWO.getDouble("LOCATION.latitudey"))
else:
mboWO.setValue("longitudex", None)
mboWO.setValue("latitudey", None)
The script has launch points on multiple objects:

Where is scripted the Dalaran Well teleport (game object)?

When you try to reach the Dalaran Well in Dalaran, you are teleported to the sewers.
It is using this Game object: Doodad_Dalaran_Well_01 (id = 193904 )
Where is it scripted? How?
I've found nothing in the table smart_scripts, and found nothing in the core about this specific id so I'm curious because this type of teleport is really better than clicking on a game object
This gameobject is a unique case because it works like instance teleports do. If you check the gameobject_template table, you will see that it has several Data columns that have diferent values based on the type of the gameobject.
The gameobject you are refering too is the Well It self but the portal gameobject inside the well gives the player a dummy spell to tell the core that the player has been teleported (spell ID 61652).
For the specific case of the dalaran well, it's type is 30 which means, as the documentation says, GAMEOBJECT_TYPE_AURAGENERATOR. As soon as the player is in range, a dummy aura is cast on him to notify the core that this areatrigger has been activated (You could do stuff when player gets hit by the dummy spell).
The trick here is a bunny, but not the bunny itself since it is there mostly to determine an areatrigger. If you use command .go gobject 61148 you can check him out, he's inside the well.
Areatriggers are a DBC object that are actually present on our database on world.areatrigger. You can check the columns here. When the player enters the Radius box specified on the areatrigger, another thing happens in the core which is world.areatrigger_teleport.
If you run the following query you will be able to check the position where the trigger will teleport the player to.
SELECT * FROM areatrigger_teleport WHERE `Name` LIKE '%Dalaran Well teleporter%';

Jmeter ${__setProperty()} Not working across multiple threads in the same thread group

I am trying to do setproperty across multiple threads in the same threadgroup, the postprocessor set new variable using setproperty, so that It can be accessed across multiple threads.
In Beanshell preprocessor, I'm having below line of code.
${__setProperty("url", "youtube")};
Under thread Group I'm having Beanshell post processor, having below one line in postprocessor.
${__setProperty("url", "google")};
under thread group, I have Http Sampler, in hostname field I have given ${__property(url)}.com
The Aim is, when it executes first time, the URL will be google.com and when first threads complete than
the URL becomes youtube.com
But the setProperty only set google, and the second one in postprocessor was not working.
Refer the below Image for details, it shows how I created the element in Jmeter.
enter image description here
Note: This was just a sample use case, but I have complex example, but answering to this question will help me to add the logic in complex script.
Thanks
So is the goal that the very first thread to complete will change the URL for all subsequently created threads?
My understanding of the documentation is that you can't change the value of a property inside the thread-group:
Properties can be referenced in test plans - see Functions - read a property - but cannot be used for thread-specific values.
(see http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/test_plan.html#properties)
My assumption is that each thread in a thread-group gets a copy of the properties. If you change the value of the property inside the thread group, then you are actually changing the copy for that particular thread. Since you are changing it in the post-processor, the thread is very likely just about to be disposed, resulting in your change being lost. After disposal a new thread is created but with the original value of the property.
So what you need to do is figure out how to change the value outside of the thread-group.
I have done something similar in my own tests whereby I am changing the value of a property in the middle of the test, and the value is picked up immediately by all of the active thread-groups, resulting in each new thread created from that point forward getting the new value. I am doing this by using the Beanshell Server: https://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/best-practices.html#beanshell_server
In my specific case I use jenkins job that calls a shell-script which connects to the beanshell-service running on the local-host:
java -jar ${jmeter_home}/apache-jmeter-5.0/lib/bshclient.jar localhost 9000 ${test_plan_home}/update_Prop.bsh "${property}" "${value}"
where my update_prop.bash file is simply:
import org.apache.jmeter.util.JMeterUtils;
JMeterUtils.getJMeterProperties().setProperty(args[0],args[1]);
You would not need to use Jenkins or anything like that, though - if you setup your JMeter Process to include the Beanshell-server (see the link above) then you can simply replace the code in your post-processor:
${__setProperty("url", "google")};
with the code to connect to the beanshell server and execute that command there instead:
exec("./updateprop.bash url google");
JMeter properties are global therefore once you set the property it is available for all threads
Each JMeter thread (virtual user) executes Samplers. Pre and Post processors are obeying JMeter Scoping Rules Looking into your test plan the execution order is following:
Beanshell PreProcessor
HTTP Request Sampler
Beanshell PostProcessor
therefore HTTP Request sampler will never hit youtube (unless you run into a race condition due to concurrency) because PreProcessor will set the URL back to google
It is recommended to use JSR223 Test Elements and Groovy language for scripting since JMeter 3.1
It is NOT recommended to inline JMeter Functions and/or variables into scripts, you need to either use "Parameters" section or go for code-based equivalents instead so you need to replace this line:
${__setProperty("url", "youtube")};
with this one:
props.put("url", "youtube");

ScriptError using Google Apps Script Execution API

Following these guides https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/rest/quickstart/target-script and https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/rest/quickstart/nodejs, I am trying to use the Execution API in node to return some data that are in a Google Spreadsheet.
I have set the script ID to be the Project Key of the Apps Script file. I have also verified that running the function in the Script Editor works successfully.
However, when running the script locally with node, I get this error:
The API returned an error: Error: ScriptError
I have also made sure the script is associated with the project that I use to auth with Google APIs as well.
Does anyone have any suggestion on what I can do to debug/ fix this issue? The error is so generic that I am not sure where to look.
UPDATE: I've included a copy of the code in this JSBin (the year function is the entry point)
https://jsbin.com/zanefitasi/edit?js
UPDATE 2: The error seems to be caused by the inclusion of this line
var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.open(DriveApp.getFileById(docID));
It seems that I didn't request the right scopes. The nodejs example include 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive', but I also needed to include 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets' in the SCOPES array. It seems like the error message ScriptError is not very informative here.
In order to find what scopes you'd need, to go the Script Editor > File > Project Properties > Scopes. Remember to delete the old credentials ~/.credentials/old-credential.json so that the script will request a new one.
EDIT: With the update in information I took a closer look and saw you are returning a non-basic type. Specifically you are returning a Sheet Object.
The basic types in Apps Script are similar to the basic types in
JavaScript: strings, arrays, objects, numbers and booleans. The
Execution API can only take and return values corresponding to these
basic types -- more complex Apps Script objects (like a Document or
Sheet) cannot be passed by the API.
https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/rest/api
In your Account "Class"
this.report = spreadsheet.getSheetByName(data.reportSheet);
old answer:
'data.business_exp' will be null in this context. You need to load the data from somewhere. Every time a script is called a new instance of the script is created. At the end of execution chain it will be destroyed. Any data stored as global objects will be lost. You need to save that data to a permanent location such as the script/user properties, and reloaded on each script execution.

Masking answer options in Confirmit (jscript)

I'm trying to mask the answer options that show up in a 3DGrid question item in Confirmit, using the value of a background variable.
E.g. when "background1" ==1, display answer category 1. If "background1" ==0, do not display answer category 1. If "background2" ==1, display category 3, otherwise do not. In any case, display answer category 2.
Hopefully this is easy for someone out there (I'm a psychologist, not a coder...so not so much so for me :/)
Thanks!
In order to access the data inside a question/variable we can use the f function of confirmit.
for instance:
f('my_question_id').get();
When masking a question, we need to pass in a Set object so Confirmit knows what Code's to show and not to show.
Often you will mask using a Set from a previous question. So you pass in the question_id and Confirmit does all the other magic.
Here we have the problem of not having a Set, so we will have to create our own.
For this, there are 2 approaches (can be found in the scripting manual under Working with Sets > Methods of the set Object > add and remove and Working with Sets > User defined functions...)
I'm going to stick to the first one because it is easier to use ;)
What we will do first is create a script node (it doesn't matter where you create it, just somewhere in the survey, I often have a folder Functions with all my script nodes in somewhere at the bottom of my survey)
In that script file we will have our function that crates our set:
function CreateMyAwesomeSet()
{
//create an empty Set
var mySet = new Set();
//if background1 equals 1, add 1 to our Set
if ( f('background1').get() == '1' )
{
mySet.add(1);
}
//return the Set of allowed Codes
return mySet;
}
Here we declare a function that we now can use wherever we want to.
So now, If we want to use this Set, we add a Code Mask to your grid:
CreateMyAwesomeSet()
You can ofcourse change the name of the function, and add extra if statements.
hope this helps

How do you insert the same random variable into multiple soapui testcase requests?

I may be going about this in the completely wrong way, but how do I pass a dynamic variable to a bunch of requests within the same testsuite in SoapUI?
My first test step is a Groovy script. I need to generate a random account name, and then use it in all my other requests. There are about 20 other requests. I initially thought I could just loop the testsuite, but it is not working.
This is my groovy script at the beginning:
Random random = new Random()
def randUserAccount = "testAccount"
int max = 100000
randnum = random.nextInt(max+10000)
randUserAccount += randnum
log.info " Creating account: $randUserAccount"
Then in each request step, I have things like this:
<ns:CreateAccountRequest>
<accountID>${randUserAccount}</accountID>
...
or
<ns:PurchaseRequest>
<accountID>${randUserAccount}</accountID>
...
The account is null when I actually send it, and of course that gives errors on the server side. How do I really get the variable to persist across all the requests in the testsuite?
Thanks in advance for any hints!
You can use the context, I believe. You can definitely use it between requests in a test, but I also think it will work between tests in a suite.
context.setProperty("randUserAccount", randUserAccount)
Then use the syntax you specified in the actual requests.
Let me know if this doesn't work. You can also use 'properties' to do this, but it is a little more work.
or you can create a variable in property then set the value through set property as mentioned above..
for every tag jus right click and check the your project varaible it will automatically insert the code..
Hope it help
