How to create a plugin service???

Anonymous 10 years ago in Studio / Services updated by anonymous 10 years ago 0
Hi There

I have created a sample windows form in DOT net and now I want to use that service into Warewolf workflow as a plugin.
I hope it is possible by using Warewolf. Can you please provide steps to do this.

Thanks

It is not possible to access WinForms objects from Warewolf.
Plugins are met for POCOs.

unintuative. Couldnt make workflow variables inputs

Paul Cannell 10 years ago in Studio / Designer updated by Gandalf 9 years ago 2
Until I used it in the workflow. This does makes sense but typically I would design the interface to my workflow and then implement bit by bit. I may only need the 3rd input param later on and Im still testing the first bits. But I cant pass this until later.
think of it this way. When you define an interface method you dont make them parameterless you generally know what you want to achieve. Perhaps a hint popup to let us know

We agree. There is a quite a bit that needs to be done to the variable list.

Thanks for the idea.

sp_helpText 'myProc' returns a sql error, I then cant reference ANY procs

Paul Cannell 10 years ago in Studio / Services updated by anonymous 10 years ago 0
if sp_helptext 'my proc' fails in sql then you cant select an action on the "new database service" tab. Running profiler I see that you are doing this for each of my procs. If one fails Im stuck
perhaps eating the bad ones and listing them as "problematic" at the end would be a good idea so I can carry on working on the other procs.

This error comes up in warewold designer AND sql management studio so its a sql error not an app error but the app handles it in a less than ideal manner.

Error : The database name component of the object qualifier must be the name of the current database.

Unload external dlls from the designer

Paul Cannell 10 years ago in Studio / Designer updated by Gandalf 9 years ago 2
I create a class library. I firstly discover that you cant return .Net basic types (string, int, bool etc) once I returned a class things were fine. Perhaps this needs to be in a hint :)
However in discovering this I rebuilt my dll a number of times. I couldnt copy it to the place I had referenced because warewolf has a handle to that DLL. Im assuming you host components like this in a separate appDomain so if you give me the ability to recycle that so I can do a build / deploy cycle without me having to shutdown warewolf would be great. If you can already do this and I just havnt figured out how, ... well then shame on me :)

decision trees getting cluttered

Paul Cannell 10 years ago in Studio / Designer updated by Gandalf 8 years ago 4
Assume a simple credit matrix. Based on your income you will get 1 of 3 interest rates.
Income > 10000 goes to the 1st outcome, >8000 the 2nd and > 5000 the third.
In the current version you have to make a tree looking like the left pic in the diagram.
If you attached priorities to a decision you could make it look like the second diagram. Say your income is 9000, you will fail the first check but pass both 2 and 3, however if you have a priority you would pass the income > 8000 check and stop evaluation at that point. Maybe a useful idea? Things like risk pricing models would benefit greatly from this and the designer space would look far less cluttered

Without the pictures mentioned I am left to guess.

My guess is you are talking about bundling up individual decisions into a single decision tree activity that would act like a switch.

Is this correct?

Decisions should have a heading. Just showing the first condition is less than ideal.

Paul Cannell 10 years ago in Studio / Designer updated by Gandalf 10 years ago 0
If I have  vars, A and B (type bool) I have something like 
if A==1
AND IF B==0
the decision reads "If A==1" in the designer canvas which is acttual misleading
Answer

Thanks Paul. The WWF designer limits the space that can be used there. We felt it was better to put in what you can rather than nothing at all as a default.

We also added the ability for you to put the text there that you want (check the bottom of the decision) so you can overide the default.

Currently (Beta) Workflows are version-ed automaticaly and stored for later use. The retrieval process is manual but we are working on an interface to make it simple.

Execution depends on run time input data.

Murali Naidu 10 years ago in Studio updated by anonymous 10 years ago 1
Hi There

I was tried to develop a small workflow which should execute depends on run time input values.
When I execute it should ask

Inputs Name - 
          Age  - 
if age  > 30
{
I want output as "Not Qualified"
}
Else
{
Full Name-
Contact details-
Amount -

}.

But when I click on execute 'Warewolf' is asking all the details at a time.

Please advise is this possible by using warewolf.????

At this point in time we do not support human interaction.
Hence why you need to enter all data up front.

SQL Bulk Insert tool

Anonymous 10 years ago in Studio / Toolbox updated by anonymous 10 years ago 0
Hi
What type of data files does the SQL Bulk Insert tool support?
Can is read Excel?
Answer
anonymous 10 years ago
The bulk insert tool works with our internal data language. You need to use recordsets to maximize its effectiveness.

You can find more information on our language by clicking the [[?]] icon at the top of the studio.

You can also find an example of its usage by opening the Recordset - SQL Bulk Insert workflow in the EXAMPLES folder in the studio explorer.
