Feedback tool doesn't have "send" button

Anònim fa 11 anys updated by Gandalf fa 11 anys 1
I tried to use the feedback tool to send some feedback about the Explorer. I recorded and filled in comments but the only buttons available were "Cancel" and "Go to Community".
I am not sure if my feedback was sent to you as there was a long lag after clicking "Go to Community". Then the dialogue box closed and I was brought here. See attaches screengrab,Image 35

data transform and validation

Paul Cannell fa 11 anys updated by Gandalf fa 10 anys 2
I have a file from a payment processor with my debit responses.
There are 13k (6mn text file) lines in this file.
From time to time I get files that have bogus lines (blank lines you already cater for)
but lines that are badly formatted
Example (muchly simplieifed
File structure is as follows
first 13 chars ID NO
second 10 Surname
third 4 some response code

so example GOOD file would look as follows

9999999999999MYSURNAME 0010
8888888888888BlaName         0010
7777777777777  Name            0010

using the transform I can get this into a recordset really easily. I can the foreach over it or whatever. Happy days.
However then you get this
9999999999999MYSURNAME 0010
Crap Data
8888888888888BlaName 0010
7777777777777 Name 0010
 
Now the transform tool does its best but when it gets to the 2nd row it sticks "Crap Data" into the rs().IDNo and then rs().Surname is "888888888B" 
I want to tell the transform to make its best effort up until it finds (in my case) a line feed. Perhaps some companies would use a char to denote end of line. 
If I can do this I can then take my 13k entries and I can filter out the BAD ones and do something with say the 3 lines that are invalid.

PS Id really like to email the bad ones to somebody :)

Is there any way to attempt to solve my current use case? Fixed delimited files are common when dealing with financial institutions and tho bulk insert in sql may be faster id rather take a bit longer and have the ability to handle error cases (try finding a prob in a 13k lines file when using bulk insert :)

I like the latest release

anonymous fa 11 anys updated by Gandalf fa 11 anys 2
Great work guys. The latest release is snappy with my cryptsy.com data feeds. I just need psql support to get proper timings against my Java import process. And scheduling would be nice too.

make connectors bigger please

Paul Cannell fa 11 anys updated by Gandalf fa 10 anys 2
When dragging flow lines from one action / state to another or moving them around its very hard sometimes to drag the connector, esp FROM a decision. if the area you drag from was bigger would make for a faster easier UI experience.

Performance of the framework

Anònim fa 11 anys updated by anonymous fa 11 anys 0
Just one question from me is around the performance of this framework. Can you comment on comparing the performance between this framework and using native entity and mvc frameworks for a project?
Answer
anonymous fa 11 anys
I cannot give performance comparisons of Warewolf vs MVC and Entity Framework.

Currently, Warewolf is intended to augment your existing development stack not replace it.
We have focused on enabling simple and quick SOA by allowing DLLs, Web services and Stored Procedures to be quickly exposed and orchestrated in Workflows that can be invoked in both your Data and Business Layers.
We allow for Web and T-SQL invocation methods.
You can find out more detail on Warewolf’s intended use and general architecture here : http://warewolf.io/architecture-documentation.php
You can find out more on Web and T-SQL invocation by looking at the Samples directory where you installed Warewolf. E.G. C:\Program Files (x86)\Warewolf

How do I get Warewolf into my C# application?

Anònim fa 11 anys updated by anonymous fa 11 anys 0
Answer
anonymous fa 11 anys
You need to use it at your service layer. All Workflows are hosted as web services that can return XML or JSON data.

For example you have a workflow called MyWorkflow you want to invoke from C#. You need to use a WebRequest to invoke the Warewolf service via a URL like http://localhost:3142/services/MyWorkflow.xml

You can then take the response data and parse the XML into an object. 
Or you could change the extension from .xml to .json like http://localhost:3142/services/MyWorkflow.json
This will cause the service to return JSON data you can convert to POCO object with a JSON libary like the one here http://james.newtonking.com/json
you can then use this POCO in your C# application.

What new features have you got in the pipeline?
My company is looking for something like Warewolf but with a client facing UI, something like K2 Smart Forms. 
Have you got any plans for this?
Thanks,
Answer

Absolutely. This is the logical next step for the system and plans are underway for a pre v1 release of this functionality. If you have any requirements, please leave them as comments here or as suggestions.

Pricing

Anònim fa 11 anys updated by Gandalf fa 11 anys 0
We're want to use Warewolf in an upcoming project but are concerned about future pricing implications once it's out of beta. I don't want to get dependant and then get hit with big licencing fees.
What are your plans for pricing in the future?
Answer
Gandalf fa 11 anys
Great question that deserves a simple answer.

We do not know.

We want to keep Warewolf Free. We see it as a tool in the back pocket of every dev team. Because we cannot guarantee what the long term pricing is at this stage, and we understand your concern, we will guarantee that it will never be above $500 per year for installations prior to licencing.
