Retrieving all possible values for a field via a RESTlet - netsuite

Is there an api call that will retrieve all possible values for a field via a RESTlet script for Netsuite?
For example, I want to return all of the possible class field values (Class 1, Class 2, ...) for an inventory item.
I have already tried nlapiGetFieldValues('class') but without success. I'm guessing that is a client side only call?

Similar to what Suite Resources said, but use some pre-existing records for the classes you want to evaluate:
switch(true){
case req.type == 'customer':
var x = nlapiLoadRecord('class',1000);
and either
return x; OR return x.getAllFields() OR return JSON.stringify(x);
case req.type == 'salesorder':
...... etc.
}
I'd personally just return the whole record to get subfields and prototype functions.

RESTLets are written in SuiteScript, so look at the supported records.
Class (classification).
You can write up a saved search within the UI, then use nlapiSearchRecord in your RESTLet. Loop through the results of the search and append to an array of objects representing the record. Then use JSON.stringify and return results. Pretty easy.
Try coding it up and post the code if you have issues.

Google Cloud Python Lib - Get Entity By ID or Key

I've been working on a python3 script that is given an Entity Id as a command line argument. I need to create a query or some other way to retrieve the entire entity based off this id.
Here are some things I've tried (self.entityId is the id provided on the commandline):
entityKey = self.datastore_client.key('Asdf', self.entityId, namespace='Asdf')
query = self.datastore_client.query(namespace='asdf', kind='Asdf')
query.key_filter(entityKey)
query_iter = query.fetch()
for entity in query_iter:
print(entity)
Instead of query.key_filter(), i have also tried:
query.add_filter('id', '=', self.entityId)
query.add_filter('__key__', '=', entityKey)
query.add_filter('key', '=', entityKey)
So far, none of these have worked. However, a generic non-filtered query does return all the Entities in the specified namespace. I have been consulting the documentation at: https://googleapis.dev/python/datastore/latest/queries.html and other similar pages of the same documentation.
A simpler answer is to simply fetch the entity. I.e. self.datastore_client.get(self.datastore_client.key('Asdf', self.entityId, namespace='asdf'))
However, given that you are casting both entity.key.id and self.entityId, you'll want to check your data to see if you are key names or ids. Alternatives to the above are:
You are using key ids, but self.entityid is a string self.datastore_client.get(self.datastore_client.key('Asdf', int(self.entityId), namespace='asdf'))
You are using key names, and entityId is an int self.datastore_client.get(self.datastore_client.key('Asdf', str(self.entityId), namespace='asdf'))
I've fixed this problem myself. Because I could not get any filter approach to work, I ended up doing a query for all Entities in the namespace, and then did a conditional check on entity.key.id, and comparing it to the id passed on the commandline.
query = self.datastore_client.query(namespace='asdf', kind='Asdf')
query_iter = query.fetch()
for entity in query_iter:
if (int(entity.key.id) == int(self.entityId)):
#do some stuff with the entity data
It is actually very easy to do, although not so clear from the docs.
Here's the working example:
>>> key = client.key('EntityKind', 1234)
>>> client.get(key)
<Entity('EntityKind', 1234) {'property': 'value'}>

Arangodb cursors system fields

is it possible to not return key / system fields when returning a cursor? I'm using ArangoDB for an open data portal. I want to offer an API so my users can query datasets; _key,_rev and _id are irrelevant to them.
eg {"query":"for x in collection limit 10 return x","sysFields":false}
I've got a wrapper api in place so it would be possible for me to remove them.
Thanks
AQL provides a function ATTRIBUTES() to return all top-level attributes of a given document, with an optional parameter to omit system fields (every attribute key that starts with an underscore), which can be used in combination with the KEEP() function to get rid of system fields:
FOR x IN collection
LIMIT 10
RETURN KEEP(x, ATTRIBUTES(x, true))

Servicestack Deserialize Redis Response GetAllItemsFromList

So using lists within Servicestack/Redis, when pulling them back from the server I am getting a list of strings (which each the same CLASS just different data in each one).
I did not see a way of using "typed" lists which would allow Servicestack to serialize/deserialize as I add, get items from the List. So my question is:
List<string> resp = rc.GetAllItemsFromList (key);
Gives me back a LIST (Collection) of strings. Each one being a JSON representation of Class ABC.
I'd rather have a list of <ABC> returned. If not, I know I can iterate through the collection of strings deserializing each. But want to know if there is a better way to be doing this than that.
To get a List of Types back you'd use the IRedisTypedClient API and access the Typed List APIs in IRedisList by accessing the Lists[] collection, e.g:
var redisAbc = redis.As<Abc>();
List<Abc> results = redisAbc.Lists[key].GetAll();

Referencing external doc in CouchDB view

I am scraping an 90K record database using JSON-RPC and I am trying to put in some basic error checking. I want to start by scraping the database twice using two different settings and adding a prefix to the second scrape. This way I can check to ensure that the two settings are not producing different records (due to dropped updates, etc). I wanted to implement the comparison using a view which compares each document from the first scrape with it's twin produced by the second scrape and then emit the names of records with a difference between them.
However, I cannot quite figure out how to pull in another doc in the view, everything I have read only discusses external docs using the emit() function, which is too late to permit me to compare it. In the example below, the lookup() function would grab the referenced document.
Is this just not possible?
function(doc) {
if(doc._id.slice(0,1)!=='$' && doc._id.slice(0,1)!== "_"){
var otherDoc = lookup('$test" + doc._id);
if(otherDoc){
var keys = doc.value.keys();
var same = true;
keys.forEach(function(key) {
if ((key.slice(0,1) !== '_') && (key.slice(0,1) !=='$') && (key!=='expires')) {
if (!Object.equal(otherDoc[key], doc[key])) {
same = false;
}
}
});
if(!same){
emit(doc._id, 1);
}
}
}
}
Context
You are correct that this is not possible in CouchDB. The whole point of the map function is that it must be idempotent, otherwise you lose all the other nice benefits of a pre-calculated index.
This is why you cannot access external resources in the map function, whether they be other records or the clock. Any time you run a map you must always get the same result if you put the same record into it. Since there are no relationships between records in CouchDB, you cannot promise that this is possible.
Solution
However, you can still achieve your end goal, just be different means. Some possibilities...
Assuming there is some meaningful numeric value in each doc, you could use a view to take the sum of all those values and group them by which import you did ({key: <batch id>, value: <meaningful number>}). Then compare the two numbers in your client or the browser to see if they match.
A brute force approach would be to use a view to pair the docs that should match. Each doc is on a different row, but they're grouped by a common field. Then iterate through the entire index comparing the pairs. This would certainly be the quickest to code and doesn't depend on your application or data.
Implement a validation function to enforce a schema on your data. Just be warned that this will reduce your write throughput since each written record will be piped out of Erlang and into the JS engine. Also, this is only applicable if you're worried about properly formed records instead of their precise content, which might not be the case.
Instead of your different batch jobs creating different docs, have them place them into the same doc. The structure might look like this: { "_id": "something meaningful", "batch_one": { ..data.. }, "batch_two": { ..data.. } } Then your validation function could compare them or you could create a view that indexes all the docs that don't match. All depends on where in your pipeline you want to do the error checking and correction.
Personally I like the last option better, but only if you don't plan to use the database as is in production. Ie., you wouldn't want to carry around all that extra data in each record.
Hope that helps.
Cheers.

CRM 2011 JavaScript How to access data stored in an entity passed from a lookup control?

As the question suggests, I need to find out how to access entity data that has been passed into a JavaScript function via a lookup.
JavaScript Code Follows:
// function to generate the correct Weighting Value when these parameters change
function TypeAffectedOrRegionAffected_OnChanged(ExecutionContext, Type, Region, Weighting, Potential) {
var type = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get(Type).getValue();
var region = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get(Region).getValue();
// if we have values for both fields
if (type != null && region != null) {
// create the weighting variable
var weighting = type[0].name.substring(4) + "-" + region;
// recreate the Weighting Value
Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get(Weighting).setValue(weighting);
}
}
As you can see with the following line using the name operator I can access my Type entity's Type field.
// create the weighting variable
var weighting = type[0].name.substring(4) + "-" + region;
I am looking for a way now to access the values stored inside my type object. It has the following fields new_type, new_description, new_value and new_kind.
I guess I'm looking for something like this:
// use value of entity to assign to our form field
Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get(Potential).setValue(type[0].getAttribute("new_value"));
Thanks in advance for any help.

Comic
REST OData calls are definitely the way to go in this case. You already have the id, and you just need to retrieve some additional values. Here is a sample to get you started. The hardest part with working with Odata IMHO is creating the Request Url's. There are a couple tools, that you can find on codeplex, but my favorite, is actually to use LinqPad. Just connect to your Org Odata URL, and it'll retrieve all of your entities and allow you to write a LINQ statement that will generate the URL for you, which you can test right in the browser.
For your instance, it'll look something like this (it is case sensitive, so double check that if it doesn't work):
"OdataRestURL/TypeSet(guid'" + type[0].Id.replace(/{/gi, "").replace(/}/gi, "") + "'select=new_type,new_description,new_value,new_kind"
Replace OdataRestURL with whatever your odata rest endpoint is, and you should be all set.
Yes Guido Preite is right. You need to retrieve the entity by the id which come form the lookup by Rest Sync or Async. And then get Json object. However for make the object light which is returned, you can mention which fields to be backed as part of the Json. Now you can access those fields which you want.
