Can you provide the correct link for the DTC Webinar?

The link posted in this forum is wrong and only takes the user to an Infor advertising page:

https://pages.infor.com/20190409-hcl-webinar-infor-cloverleaf-distributed-transaction-controller.html

Is there another page where those recorded webinars are available?

Thank you.

I have a question about your configuration (Alert Properties Actions pane)

When you select the “exec” action and you click on the “List” button to open the
“Select Command” dialog box, does your script appear in the list of available
commands to be run when the alert is fired?

In my own experience, manually typing the location of the…Read more

I believe that your issue may be due to “exec” not properly parsing the command line arguments.

I do something similar in Unix (AIX) but I quote the arguments when I pass them to the script, like this:

bcAlert.tcl “%A” “%N” “%P” “%T” “%V”

I believe this is the right thing to do because some of those arguments (like %A) contain…Read more

I had a similar issue with the Xlate Debugger. I noticed that this happens when the Watch Expression has a field Iterate (%f).

In order to troubleshoot, I went to the “View” menu after starting the Debugger and enabled the “Console”. I proceeded with Stepping through the debugging session, and when I got to the Xlate statement with the…Read more

I believe that what you are trying to accomplish is feasible by simply having the sender sftp the file to Cloverleaf under a temporary name not expected by the Cloverleaf dirparse proc and then use the sftp “rename” command to rename the file to its expected name.

For example, if you are waiting for “file.csv”, they could script it…Read more

Go to your fileset-local thread -> Properties Tab

Click on ‘Properties…’

Click the ‘Edit…’ button next to ‘Directory Parse:’

This will bring up the ‘Directory Parse TPS Editor’ window.

You can see the ‘List Full Directory’ checkbox at the bottom of this window.

CR should be replaced by   “ ”   (quotes not included)

NL should be replaced by   “ ”    (quotes not included)

CR should be replaced by   

NL should be replaced by   

You could do this in your TCLPROC#1 for example.

I think the segments should be separated by the CR only, no NL.…Read more

The best place to do this: Outbound tab of your java-ws-client thread. Go to the  TPS Outbound Data: section. There you will create a short Tcl proc to make the changes to the soap envelope and soap body.

I hope this helps.

Here is another way of doing this (run your script as a command instead of Tcl)

1. Instead of selecting “tcl” for your action, select “exec”.
2. In the “Command:” textbox, enter the name of your Tcl proc tpsSendAlertEmail.tcl and click on the “Update” button.
3. In order for Cloverleaf to find your new command, you need to place your Tcl…

<pre class=”example”>rest
</pre>

The rest tcl package is part of Tcllib which is included in the Cloverleaf distribution. Hence it is available to you. You don’t have to download or install anything.

You should be able to call the package and start coding with it:

package require rest

<pre class=”example”>rest
</pre>

I think the forum would benefit a lot from tutorials, code samples on topics/technologies where the official Cloverleaf documentation is very scant or simply non-existent: Web Services (SOAP and Rest), API calls, JSON processing, JSON Web Token (JWT), TLS, HTTP module, HL7 FHIR, XML processing…Read more

xlate_setup.png  – demonstrates how to set up the Xlate. The Output Record Format must be: Database Schema and there you select your DB connection and the Table you are going to insert into.

It seems like your table name in the query (moe) is wrong, so Cloverleaf is not able to find the column.

There must be a problem with your configuration.

In the VALUES() list, you need to prefix each value with the Table schema that you selected.

So, if “Test” is the selected schema, you would have

Test.dt_msg,

Test.statut,

Test.msg_id, …

Give it a try and see what happens.

Looking at your config file:  In order to insert records in a database, you need to use PROTOCOL:database-outbound, not inbound.

Also, the “Table Schema:” value is required and you should be able to select one from the list of available ones by clicking on the “…” button.

I hope this helps.

We have this alert on  /exec/databases/rlogM2k.dat running in every production site in our system  (OS is AIX) and never had a problem with it.

You will have to empirically determine what is the largest db size to…Read more

The official .Net API for HL7 FHIR can be found on GitHub at the following location:

https://github.com/ewoutkramer/fhir-net-api

It allows you to use Visual Studio to write programs for FHIR. I imagine this would be for standalone applications. Cloverleaf offers no native support for .Net, so I don’t see how you would easily integrate…Read more

Your posts and insight have always been very helpful.

For the sake of completion, I enclose the sample table (Patients) creation script and the sample stored proc. My test DB name is HL7Test.

I think you may be missing some steps in your setup since what you are trying to achieve can be done entirely in the Cloverleaf GUI, without any Tcl. So I will share with you the steps I took to insert a number of fields from an HL7 message + the whole message into a SQL Server database table.

1. You already have your database…Read more

I am curious. I haven’t seen this type of ‘%A’ syntax because when we have multiple threads in the source, we tend to use a “Source Count” of “any”. Also we check the box “Thread Only”.

However, if multiple threads are involved in the same alert, %T will contain a comma-separated list of thread names.

Ultimately, I found it safer to do like Keith and parse the alert text (%A) to find the name of the single thread I am interested in. This is because…Read more

There is no need to go to Java. There is a “yaml” package in TCL and it’s available to you in Cloverleaf. So you will have to write some TCL code, but you can parse the “.yaml” file either into a TCL dict or TCL huddle. From there, it’s easy to convert to JSON without an Xlate.

Check the official TCL documentation for examples.…Read more

To get the first 8 characters, you should use:

I hope this helps.

I believe that your problem is with the quotes around the field names, causing you to send the literal field names instead of the expanded values.
Remove the single quotes and the issue should be resolved.

If you don’t want to use a regular expression, an easy way is to split the string on HYPHEN, take the second component of the resulting list, then take the first two characters of the result:

With a regular expression:

Let’s see what happens.

I have two suggestions for you:

1. In newer versions of TclCurl, the option “-put 1” has been deprecated and replaced by “-upload 1”, so you should change to

2. Unlike the ‘POST’ method, ‘PUT’ does not offer the option of sending a data string, but expects a file, with indication of the file…Read more

The answer to your question is yes: Cloverleaf Web Services (CAA-WS) can facilitate API calls to and from outside systems.

The most common APIs used are SOAP (based on a WSDL file) and REST. CAA-WS easily supports them using the java/ws-client and java/ws-server protocol threads. If by any chance the partner requires a custom API,…Read more

To my knowledge, this proc is not part of the standard Cloverleaf installation. You must have a supplemental library.

Please note that your code snippet as shown is missing a step. You cannot just subtract the birth year from the current year to obtain the age in years. You also have to account for whether the person has had a birthday yet this year.

With the example you have given (3/4/1953), the code would return an age of 65, which is wrong…Read more

I have used the Portable Client and have found that it works very well. However, be aware that the current version does not support CAA-WS (Cloverleaf Web Services). So you will not be able to access the sites that use CAA-WS; you get a Java error when you try to open NetConfig or Network Monitor for example.

Hopefully Infor will address…Read more

I am not sure if you have Apache CXF installed on your PC, but in the “bin” directory of this program, there is a utility named “wsdlvalidator” that is used to validate WSDLs.

When I run that utility against a downloaded copy of the WSDL for the web service you are accessing, the…Read more

The error seems to indicate that the payload is incomplete, missing the SOAP Envelope. You are only sending the body of the message. Without the SOAP envelope, the system cannot know if you are sending SOAP 1.1 or SOAP 1.2 messages. The message is invalid. You need to create a SOAP envelope to wrap your data.

I hope this helps.

Cloverleaf now ships with the Microsoft JDBC driver, which is a very mature type 4 driver. There are at least two ways to use it in Cloverleaf: directly from a database protocol thread, or from a UPOC thread if you prefer to write Java code. Either way, I have found it to be fast and very efficient.

Perhaps BOXing it might work?
(Right click on the thread ->Create BOX)?

I certainly don’t fully understand what you are trying to accomplish, but I have a couple of suggestions:

1. The code snippet you showed has an omission in it. You forgot to indicate the disposition list in the “lappend” statement. Typically, it would be something like:

lappend dispList “CONTINUE $mh”

2. In the “Properties” tab of…Read more

So now you have a parsing problem with the -postfields data. The web server is not correctly interpreting the ‘&’…Read more

Many Authentication APIs allow users to pass in credentials (username, password) in order to receive an authentication token. You are already doing this in your curl command, so you shouldn’t need a client certificate. You should…Read more

If you don’t want to leverage CAA-WS, you can always use a UPOC thread and write a TPS using one of several packages that are available to you: TclCurl, rest,…Read more

Thank you for your contribution. Excellent job! It’s working great for us.

It all depends on the API. It seems like you are making a call to a REST API, so you have many options.

If you are on Cloverleaf 6.2 and are licensed for the Web Services Adapter (CAA-WS), you can use the GUI since JSON support has been added to 6.2.

Otherwise, you can use a UPOC thread and write some code. You could use CURL to make…Read more

I have done a few database-inbound connections and have never seen the issue that you are describing. I can make the following suggestions, according to the pictures you posted:

1. In Snip_4, select “Use each row as a message”

2. In Snip_4, select “Use advanced scheduling” with “Connect as needed”. In the schedule set up, select a…Read more

After taking a second look at your screenshot, it appears that there is a problem in the way you are using the Testing Tool. You have selected the option “Save to File” but you are not providing a file name. This would cause the Testing Tool to attempt to write to a null memory address and crash.

You should choose “Send to Proc” and…Read more

I assume that you are using the Cloverleaf GUI to test your TPS.

Since you are testing a Reply proc, have you tried setting the “Caller Context:” to “sms_ib_reply”?

I can confirm that this doesn’t work in 6.1.2. Triggers a “bad index” error.
The index must be an integer or end+-

I haven’t played with 6.2 yet, but I don’t think this functionality is there either.
