How to call process specific item via web service - acumatica

I read this thread How to call processing page via web service and know how to call process all via web services. But, i want to process one or some records. I dont know how to do that.
Please help me. Sorry, my english is not good.

I still would like to suggest do not use processing screen for your operation, because you can do absolutely the same though original screen.

The same approach, but you need to mark records before processing.
From my standpoint it looks not really straight, maybe you shouldn't use processing screens via web services.

Script for Online Tasks

I was wondering if there is a way to write a script that could perform online tasks . There are actions a user does that is so repetitive/planed, that make me wonder if there is a way i could write a script that could do that for me. What i mean is, for example, a script that could go online, lets say facebook, write/read a post. It seems such a straight forward action that it has to be possible to be done by a scrip.
The thing is I have no idea how to do, my question here is some guidance, if possible, all i need to know is a good language for this and a good aproach. I can't seem to find anything for this, probably not searching the right terms.
Thanks for your time. :)
If you're looking to mock user behavior in the browser (such as filling out a form), you could use Python, a web driver, and the module Selenium.
Selenium will open the web driver, then allow you to mock user actions, such as selecting a text box, typing data, and then clicking submit. This allows you automate actions such as a search on a website, verifying a website works the way you expect it to when a user takes certain actions, and filling out input elements on a page and submitting a form.
You need to understand concepts like javascript, ajax, servlets plus advance level concepts like in advance java as these all are event associated for bringing dynamisation to your web page and other than this session level concepts to deal if session is active or expired this all adds to automating based on session attribute.
Finally, at database level you can use triggers to event fire changes when needed.

Hybrid App Development, Database-Driven Content

I've been doing a lot of research, and perhaps just need a few dots connected.
I have an idea for a mobile app/website that contains lists of local eating/drinking establishments along with the deals/specials they offer each day. The idea is to create an app that people can refer to in order to save money on a night out.
I'm familiar enough with HTML/CSS/JS to create a functioning website, but when it comes to backend I'm a little confused. Editing the markup in order to reflect changes (e.g. a new deal starts or new establishment opens up) is a bit cumbersome. Now I know I want a database with my information ready to be displayed on my page. Does this mean that I need to develop my own API for everything, and then make sure it integrates with the hosting website that I end up choosing?
I feel like I'm missing something that should make it obvious what the next step is. Can anyone offer any advice?
The short answer is yes, you are exactly right.
The long answer is that is definetly one way to do it. But, for large projext just using JS can get quite cumbersomoe on your client end. Usually the first level would be using something like ajax. It's a great way to start and you can go a long way with just ajax. This is acutually where most people "start" when using just javascript to make api calls. The next level would be to use a framework like Angular. This will of course do more for you than just help handle api calls and it requires a larger investment in learning.
So that is all client side...
Now for the server side part... When you publish a website you are now dealing with "server-side" content. You have taken your static content and it is served up from the server but it's always the same static content from the server then it becomes dynamic on the client when all the javascript starts getting parsed.
The API is another server side component. But instead of being static like your pages, a bunch of files just sitting there, it is an actual application on the server. It takes a command via an api request and then does its thinking and then spits out a response object dynamically to the requester, which in this case will be the JS on your site.
Now, if you don't like the idea of learning to make your own API there are resources out there that will host an api for you and give you a gui to build your own API. I can't recommend one because I have never used one, but I do work with businesses that do and they love the fact they don't have to hire a dev to make thier apis. The downside is they are tied to that service and limited to the functionality that the service offers. It's not a big limitation as the services are quire powerful but if you are going to be managing complex data sets then it would probably be better to learn to make your own api.
Hope that clears things up a bit for you!

what are the tools to parse/analyze IIS logs - ideally free/open source?

note: there are few similar questions already asked here - but they are from 2009. May be something has changed since then.
I'm responsible for a bunch of websites hosted on different servers. I do not do any log analysis right now, but I would like to change this. First question - what is the best tool to view ISSUES with the website based on IIS logs (i.e. 404, 500 responses, long page processing, etc)? Ideally with grouping/sorting options? I do not want to spend a lot of time on this, I just want to periodically check if all is good with the website.
Second question (and I know most likely i'm asking for too much) - but is there any way to expose processed logs to web? So I can review things mentioned above without RPDing into the server?
Ideally I'm looking for a free/open source solution, but I'm ready to pay for a good software as well (but not a lot of $$).
Thank you.
You can take a look at our log monitoring solution EventSentry, which can monitor text-based logs like IIS logs. We have standard templates setup for IIS, and we can consolidate the logs in a database with web-access, so that you can review the logs without using RDP.
It's a pretty flexible solution that allows you to pick the fields you are interested in, and ignore the ones you are not - and thus save space in your database.
You can also setup real-time alerts, so that you can get an email when a critical error is encountered in a log file, like a 500 error.
http://www.eventsentry.com/features/log-file-monitoring
Finally, you can also plug-in command line tools which can verify that a given web page is accessible, or get alerted when it changes: http://www.eventsentry.com/features/application-monitoring.
I'm biased of course, but I would say that our solution is pretty affordable. Since it offers additional functionality as well, such as service monitoring (to monitor your IIS services) and event log monitoring (IIS does log critical messages to the event log), you can setup comprehensive monitoring with a single product.
I'd look into #LuckyLuke solution (or similar) - classic "build vs buy" decision. Based on your post, this isn't going to be your "full time" job so IMHO its best to leave it to those who do...
I don't know what "legacy" answers you are referring to, but if you want to tinker you can use Microsoft's own log parser, and depending on how far you want to go with it, you can use it (COM dll) to write your "admin web pages" in .Net/ASP.Net and host it in each of your servers....
If you're very specific about the errors you just want to be alerted about, another "hacky" way would be to provide your own custom error pages (either the default IIS error pages, or configure your Asp.Net apps to use specific error pages).

Legally parsing browser history

I want to create a service that suggests things based on the sites one has visited. It would be a user controllable process. In other words, the service would start "recording / suggesting" from the users browsing history only tell the service to start (and stop).
I'm not looking for hacks or potentially illegal methods. Technically would this be possible with Javascript as (say) something like a bookmarklet? Or would it need something with more fundamental browser access like an extension?
Thanks in advance for any guidance.
You would need an extension to get access to this much data and it'll have to be custom for each browser.

How to write my own Server Logging script?

I need to log the hits on a sub-domain in Windows IIS 6.0 without designating them as separate websites in the IIS Manager. I have been told this is not possible. How can I write my own script to do this?
I'm afraid google analytics is not an option due to the setup, I just need access (i'm guessing) to the file request event and its properties.
Wyatt Barnette - I've thought of this! But how do I set those properties for it to collect them all? I'm writing my own log parsing software, as I need specific things, I just need the server to generate the logs for me to parse!
Have you considered using Google Analytics across all your sites? I know that this is not true logging...but sometimes addressing simple problems with simple solutions is easier! Log parsing seems to be slowly fading away...
What you should be able to do is have your stats tracking package look at multiple IIS websites as a single site.
If your logging package can't handle this, check out the IIS log parsing tool. That should at least take care of the more onerous part of the task (actually making sense of the logfiles). From there it is a pretty straightforward reporting operation.
