I like the latest release

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.

Server crashes cant save workflow

Paul Cannell 10 years ago in Server updated by Gandalf 9 years ago 2
Ive changed a sproc. I go to update the service that references that. I then goto the use of that service on the designer canvas to update it to take in the new params. 
The service just vanishes in the background. Then in the designer I cant save my changes as there is no server. I dont loose much data but I have to then restart which is annoying. Its intermittent at the moment. If I get steps to reproduce ill post them here.
This has happened a couple times while playing with sproc related updated. I do hit ctrl-s a lot without thinking from just general coding so maybe the multiple saves are somehow causing badness when talking to the server?

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.

make connectors bigger please

Paul Cannell 10 years ago updated by Gandalf 9 years ago 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.

We are rehosting WWF. Unfortunatley we cant get access to everything at a design level.

We will have another crack at the altering the design surface automaticaly.

Paul Cannell 10 years ago updated by Gandalf 9 years ago 2
stop the service
close the designer
click the designer shortcut, you will be prompted to start the warewolf service. Click yes
The service starts
The designer does not
Click short cut again it starts fine.
Trivial and minor annoyance bug :)

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
Answer

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
Gandalf 10 years ago
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.
