We are very interested in exploring the level of built in integration between two of Hexagons products, namely OnCall and Xalt (edge frontier).

For instance is there built in support for handling OnCall events (whatever is relevant - RESTful, SOAP or MessageBroker based).

Or do we need, from Xalt, to treat OnCall as just another third party interface and use a releavnt transport mechanism (again REST, queues etc).

Are there some worked examples integrating Xalt and OnCall?

Cheers

We can successfully send XML files over port 80 (HTTP), but are not able to post them over 443 (HTTPS).  This is a test, so the certificate is self signed and issued to the local server name, not the external URL name, so we know there is an issue, but can these validation settings be disabled?

If not, how can we manually Trust a 3rd party certificate (we would need to reissue the cert using the correct name, but it would still be self signed)?

Thanks in advance!

I would also like to be able to kick off a message with this information via a command line key-in for those events where there isn't necessarily a consistent event type.  For instance, we have a traffic accident that's turned into an MCI or a structure fire that's turned into a fatality.

TIA,

Dani

I tried setting the Property Method for the HTTPClient to PATCH.. But this didn't seem to work.  I'm trying to communicate with a REST endpoint that only will accept PATCH for updates.

I have built some open source WSDL and RESTful APIs ​that I am testing out to extend the fuctionality of EdgeFrontier. Anyone interested in a write up on how to do it?

What I have tried so far, and would be willing to do a write up on:

WSDL(SOAP) with Ubuntu, and Python.

Parsing NIST file headers and returning the results in JSON format with a RESTful interface.

Writing Python code inside of EdgeFrontier and using another server to process the code and return the results in JSON format.

Rather than spinning wheels and attempting to reinvent the wheel, has anyone created or found some class assemblies that can be used in EdgeFrontier that would allow for Printing?

or another Http Client class that would allow for PUT since the built-in HttpClient only allows for GET and POST?

Thanks in advance,
Travis

This occurred recently in more than one system, at different times. When it does happen, it generally spits out thousands of these errors. I've looked through various logs and can't find a direct reason as to why this happens. This is happening after months and hundreds of thousands of successful messages have been read/received/written through these systems, so please understand that it is not a 'in-development' system that I am referring to. These errors are occurring long after a system has been stable for months with zero errors.

I am hoping one of you have seen this before and know what it was that 'caused' the error to occur.

'Reloading' the system causes the errors to stop, if that helps.

Thanks in advance,

I'm working on a project that requires the functionality to programmatically create CAD events. The IFCAD930 system in EdgeFrontier has a built-in command to do this, but I'm running into an issue with location verification. I'm able to create CAD events with perfectly formatted and validated addresses, but receive an AckNak error message for any address that has verification problems. 

My Question: What is the recommended way of obtaining a validated address from EdgeFrontier? Are there other options outside of EdgeFrontier? 

Thanks for your time!

We'd like to be able to use the more advanced features that allow for a regex in the XPath.

Without this functionality something that could be one easy step has to be broken down into several actions.

Examples that we've wanted to use recently are tokenize and replace.

In the example below, I would really like to pass in the name of the file I want to read based on a variable. However, in version 06.03.0000.04298, I am pretty certain this wont work.

Any idea if this functionality is available in a later EdgeFrontier release?

This morning I learned something that I thought would be helpful to share.

The dropdown list in the 'Triggered Action' portion of an 'Action' is dynamic, based upon the components you current have in your system.

For example, the list will grow if you add things such as variables, series, DB writer, DB reader, etc..

I was scratching my head this morning trying to figure out why I couldn't get to certain functions, where I 'could' in other systems. This is why!

Examples:

This is what you see if you don't have a variable already added to your component list:

This is what you see if you add a few additional components (if only temporary placeholders):

My thoughts:

This dynamic list is helpful in a way that you aren't allowed you use action types that don't directly correspond to an available component. However, this also hides potential options if you are thinking about a design. Sometimes having the full list to display can trigger a better design by presenting the user with an array of options to select from.

What is the difference between the MatchingRow.<fieldname> and just the plain <fieldname>, as shown below in the screen snip?

I have never been able to visually see a 'difference' in what they produce. The technical documentation we have on this topic only references how it is used to compare two different series, but its not clear which 'should' be used when simply accessing the field value of the calling event/action.

The OLN field for the first record would be written into the OLN field for every following record in the series if the OLN field was empty. My XPath statement for the OLN field is /IFCADCustomReport/Body/Results/Row/oln. I have not able to find a solution searching on line.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I've been looking through some of the *.config files and came across something that looks promising.

The file ListenerNotificationsService.exe.config contains some exclusions that may or may not be related. I was wondering what you all think and how you've been able to begin seeing IFCADMessageReport data come through EdgeFrontier. Albeit none of the acronyms appear to related to 'messages' see below anyway:

    <add key="ExcludeCADMessageTypes" value="CAD_VIS_AG_DISP_REQ,CAD_VIS_AG_DISP_INIT,CAD_VIS_AG_DISP_ADD,CAD_VIS_AG_DISP_DEL,TRACKER_DEVICEINFO_UPDATE" />
    <add key="BTSExcludeCADMessageTypes" value="CAD_VIS_AG_DISP_REQ,CAD_VIS_AG_DISP_INIT,CAD_VIS_AG_DISP_ADD,CAD_VIS_AG_DISP_DEL,TRACKER_DEVICEINFO_UPDATE" />

I'd like to be able to subscribe to this in order to see messages between dispatchers and MPS client users.

Any help would be very appreciated!

Sometime toward the end of 2015 we were told to turn off the PurgeMSMQSysJournal because something else replaced it. Unfortunately, we didn't recieve written documentation of what replaced it that I'm aware of so now I can't find whatever replaced it.

Our MSMQ journal just reached it's limit so I manually purged it. But I need to know what was supposed to be purging it so that I can go see why that isn't working.

Thanks,

Beth

I would expect to see it listed somewhere here but don't: https://support.hexagonsafetyinfrastructure.com/infocenter/index?page=products

I'm looking for the release information.
