Call action using Process.js - CRM

I have made custom workflow activity, registered it with Plugin Registration Tool and now i want to execute it using Action. Action wont have input/output parameters. Unique name is ad_opportunity. It will be executed from Custom Entity ad_productsamplerequest
I will call this action from JavaScript using Process.js.
I am not familiar with Process.js, so I have a problem to make Action call.
Here is the call I made, but it doesn't work. Am I missing something here:
Process.callAction("ad_opportunity",
[{
key: "Target",
type: Process.Type.EntityReference,
value: { id: Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId(), entityType: "ad_productsamplerequest" }
}],
function (params) {
//Success
},
function (e) {
// Error
alert(e);
}
);

Value mentioned in your code should be declared as EntityReference. Please refer below code for same
Process.callAction("mag_Retrieve",
[{
key: "Target",
type: Process.Type.EntityReference,
value: new Process.EntityReference("account", Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId())
},
{
key: "ColumnSet",
type: Process.Type.String,
value: "name, statuscode"
}],
function (params) {
// Success
},
function (e, t) {
// Error
});
Rest looks good

Add multiple records to model's collection Sailsjs

I have the following models in my Sailsjs application with a many-to-many relationship:
event.js:
attributes: {
title : { type: 'string', required: true },
description : { type: 'string', required: true },
location : { type: 'string', required: true },
maxMembers : { type: 'integer', required: true },
currentMembers : { collection: 'user', via: 'eventsAttending', dominant: true },
creator : { model: 'user', required: true },
invitations : { collection: 'invitation', via: 'eventID' },
tags : { collection: 'tag', via: 'taggedEvents', dominant: true },
lat : { type: 'float' },
lon : { type: 'float' },
},
tags.js:
attributes: {
tagName : { type: 'string', unique: true, required: true },
taggedEvents : { collection: 'event', via: 'tags' },
},
Based on the documentation, this relationship looks correct. I have the following method in tag.js that accepts an array of tag strings, and an event id, and is supposed to add or remove the tags that were passed in:
modifyTags: function (tags, eventId) {
var tagRecords = [];
_.forEach(tags, function(tag) {
Tag.findOrCreate({tagName: tag}, {tagName: tag}, function (error, result) {
tagRecords.push({id: result.id})
})
})
Event.findOneById(eventId).populate('tags').exec(function(error, event){
console.log(event)
var currentTags = event.tags;
console.log(currentTags)
delete currentTags.add;
delete currentTags.remove;
if (currentTags.length > 0) {
currentTags = _.pluck(currentTags, 'id');
}
var modifiedTags = _.pluck(tagRecords, 'id');
var tagsToAdd = _.difference(modifiedTags, currentTags);
var tagsToRemove = _.difference(currentTags, modifiedTags);
console.log('current', currentTags)
console.log('remove', tagsToRemove)
console.log('add', tagsToAdd)
if (tagsToAdd.length > 0) {
_.forEach(tagsToAdd, function (tag) {
event.tags.add(tag);
})
event.save(console.log)
}
if (tagsToRemove.length > 0) {
_.forEach(tagsToRemove, function (tagId) {
event.tags.remove(tagId)
})
event.save()
}
})
}
This is how the method is called from the event model:
afterCreate: function(record, next) {
Tag.modifyTags(tags, record.id)
next();
}
When I post to event/create, I get this result: http://pastebin.com/PMiqBbfR.
It looks as if the method call itself is looped over, rather than just the tagsToAdd or tagsToRemove array. Whats more confusing is that at the end, in the last log of the event, it looks like the event has the correct tags. When I then post to event/1, however, the tags array is empty. I've also tried saving immediately after each .add(), but still get similar results.
Ideally, I'd like to loop over both the tagsToAdd and tagsToRemove arrays, modify their ids in the model's collection, and then call .save() once on the model.
I have spent a ton of time trying to debug this, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

There are a few problems with your implementation, but the main issue is that you're treating certain methods--namely .save() and .findOrCreate as synchronous methods, when they are (like all Waterline methods) asynchronous, requiring a callback. So you're effectively running a bunch of code in parallel and not waiting for it to finish before returning.
Also, since it seems like what you're trying to do is replace the current event tags with this new list, the method you came up with is a bit over-engineered--you don't need to use event.tags.add and event.tags.remove. You can just use plain old update.
So you could probably rewrite the modifyTags method as:
modifyTags: function (tags, eventId, mainCb) {
// Asynchronously transform the `tags` array into an array of Tag records
async.map(tags, function(tag, cb) {
// For each tag, find or create a new record.
// Since the async.map `cb` argument expects a function with
// the standard (error, result) node signature, this will add
// the new (or existing) Tag instance to the resulting array.
// If an error occurs, async.map will exit early and call the
// "done()" function below
Tag.findOrCreate({tagName: tag}, {tagName: tag}, cb);
}, function done (err, tagRecords) {
if (err) {return mainCb(err);}
// Update the event with the new tags
Event.update({id: eventId}, {tags: tagRecords}).exec(mainCb);
});
}
See the full docs for async.map here.
If you wanted to stick with your implementation using .add and .remove, you would still want to use async.map, and do the rest of your logic in the done method. You don't need two .save calls; just do run all the .add and .remove code first, then do a single .save(mainCb) to finish it off.
And I don't know what you're trying to accomplish by deleting the .add and .remove methods from currentTags (which is a direct reference to event.tags), but it won't work and will just cause confusion later!

Make ember to resolve hasMany relationship when loading

I'm currently facing a big problems for days. I'm using ember simple-auth plugin which provide me a session object accessible through the code or the templates. That session object store the account information such as username, id and rights.
My models are like this :
App.Right = DS.Model.extend({
label: DS.attr('string', { defaultValue: undefined })
});
App.Right.FIXTURES = [
{
id: 1,
label: 'Admin'
}, {
id: 2,
label: 'Manager'
}, {
id: 3,
label: 'User'
}
];
App.User = DS.Model.extend({
username: DS.attr('string'),
rights: DS.hasMany('right', {async: true})
});
App.User.FIXTURES = [
{
id: 1,
username: "Someone",
rights: [1]
}
];
Then I have (as specified on the simple-auth documentation) this setup :
App.initializer({
name: 'authentication',
initialize: function(container, application) {
Ember.SimpleAuth.Session.reopen({
account: function() {
var userId = this.get('userId');
if (!Ember.isEmpty(userId)) {
return container.lookup('store:main').find('user', userId);
}
}.property('userId')
});
...
}
});
Inside one of my view I'm doing this:
this.get('context.session.account.rights').toArray()
but it gives me an empty array. That piece of code is executed inside an Ember.computed property.
The question is how can I resolve the childrens of account before rendering the view ?

Since async: true this.get('context.session.account.rights') will return a promise object so you will have to use this.get('context.session.account.rights').then(... see: http://emberjs.com/api/classes/Ember.RSVP.Promise.html#method_then

Okay so I finally got it to work. It doesn't solve the original question because the original question was completely stupid. It's just IMPOSSIBLE to resolve relationships synchronously when you use the async: true. Trying to resolve it in advance is NOT the solution because you will still not know when it has actually resolved.
So here is the solution:
$.each(this.get('cellContent.buttonList'), function(i, button) {
button.set('hasAccess', false);
this.get('context.session.account').then(function(res) {
res.get('rights').then(function(result) {
button.set('hasAccess', Utils.hasAccess(result.toArray(), button.rights));
});
});
});
Using the following cellContent.buttonList definition:
buttonList: [
Ember.Object.create({
route: 'order',
label: 'Consult',
rights: 'all'
}), Ember.Object.create({
route: 'order.edit',
label: 'Edit',
rights: [1, 2]
})
]
Explanation
We have to use Ember.Object in order to have access to the set method. Using an Ember object is very handy. It allows us to change the value of properties after the render process making the view to update according to the new value you just set.
Because it updates the view, you don't have to care anymore whether your model has resolved or not.
I hope this will help people as much as it helps me.

Sencha touch store - phantom data

I created a model like
Ext.define('MyApp.model.ContainerDetailsModel', {
extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
alias: 'model.ContainerDetailsModel',
config: {
fields: [
{
name: 'id',
allowNull: false,
type: 'string'
},
{
name: 'container_types_id',
type: 'string'
}
]
}
});
and a store like this
Ext.define('MyApp.store.ContainerDetailsStore', {
extend: 'Ext.data.Store',
requires: [
'MyApp.model.ContainerDetailsModel'
],
config: {
model: 'MyApp.model.ContainerDetailsModel',
storeId: 'ContainerDetailsStore',
proxy: {
type: 'ajax',
enablePagingParams: false,
url: 'hereIsServiceUrl',
reader: {
type: 'json'
}
}
}
});
Now somewhere in application I tried to get one record like:
var detailsStore = Ext.getStore("ContainerDetailsStore");
detailsStore.load();
var detailsRecord = detailsStore.last();
But it gaves me undefined. The json returned by service is ok, it use it in different place as source for list. I already tried to change allowNull to true, but there is no null id in source. I tried set types to 'int' with the same result.
So I have tried
console.log(detailsStore);
Result is like this (just important values):
Class {
...
loaded: true,
data: Class {
...
all: Array[1] {
length: 1,
0: Class {
container_types_id: "1",
id: "726",
....
}
...
}
...
},
...
}
In the same place
console.log(detailsStore.data);
returns (as it should):
Class {
...
all: Array[1] {
length: 1,
0: Class {
container_types_id: "1",
id: "726",
....
}
...
}
but (next line)
console.log(detailsStore.data.all);
returns
[]
And it's empty array. When i try any methods from the store it says the store is empty.
I wrote console.log() lines one after another - so for sure it doesn't change between them (I try it also in different order or combinations).
My browser is Google Chrome 23.0.1271.97 m
I use Sencha from https://extjs.cachefly.net/touch/sencha-touch-2.0.1.1/sencha-touch-all-debug.js
How can I take a record from that store?

store.load() Loads data into the Store via the configured proxy. This uses the Proxy to make an asynchronous call to whatever storage backend the Proxy uses, automatically adding the retrieved instances into the Store and calling an optional callback if required. The method, however, returns before the datais fetched. Hence the callback function, to execute logic which manipulates the new data in the store.
Try,
detailsStore.load({
callback: function(records, operation, success) {
var detailsRecord = detailsStore.last();
},
scope: this
});

Error adding MixedCollection component to extjs form

I am trying to dynamically build a extjs form and when I try to add the dynamically built MixedCollection object to the form I get a TypeError: e.mixins.elementCt is undefined error.
<div id="form-#pageSpecificVar" class="grid-container even"></div>
<script>
Ext.define('HeaderForm', {
extend: 'Ext.form.Panel',
initComponent: function () {
var me = this;
Ext.applyIf(me, {
id: Ext.id(),
defaultType: 'textfield',
items: [{
xtype: 'container',
items: [{
xtype: 'textfield',
fieldLabel: 'Test'
}]
}]
});
me.callParent(arguments);
}
});
// Define our data model
Ext.define('HeaderModel', {
extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
fields: [
{ name: 'FieldA', type: 'int' }
]
});
var store = Ext.create('Ext.data.Store', {
model: 'HeaderModel',
proxy: {
type: 'ajax',
actionMethods: { create: 'POST', read: 'GET', update: 'POST', destroy: 'POST' },
url: '#Url.Content("~/Test/Header")',
timeout: 1200000,
listeners: {
load: function () {
}
}
}
});
store.load({
scope: this,
callback: function (records, operation, success) {
var form = new HeaderForm();
var formItems = new Ext.util.MixedCollection();
Ext.each(records[0].fields.items, function (item) {
console.log(item);
formItems.add(new Ext.form.DisplayField({
fieldLabel: 'Test'
}));
}, this);
console.log(formItems);
form.add(formItems);
form.loadRecord(records[0].data);
form.render('form-#pageSpecificVar');
}
});
</script>
Another thing I don't understand is, when I put the function inside the load listener, nothing happens. So I had to resort to using the callback event.
Update:
form.add method takes a component or component array, so instead of adding MixedCollection type I refer to formItems.items to add the array of displayfields components.
But for some reason the store listeners load is not getting triggered when store.load is executed, does anyone see a problem with that?
Nevermind this... I figured out... I placed the listener instead of the proxy instead of the store.
Q2
Also something weird is that during the callback method of store.load, the records is not return with the loaded values.
Nevermind this... I figured out... It was the json object I'm passing. Forgot to take it out of the error/data structure for form.
Thanks

MixedCollection isn't an accepted parameter for add, you need to use an array. This info is in the docs.
