Camunda parse date from JavaScript-Date - camunda

Trying to parse the date-string in Camunda-Javascript I get the following error:
org.camunda.bpm.engine.ProcessEngineException: Cannot serialize object in variable 'xy': SPIN/DOM-XML-01030 Cannot create context
Trying to return only a Date the error is also thrown:
returning only the String it gets interpret as "String":
json.briefdatum;
So how can I return the date-string as "Camunda"-Date?

So, after a long time of experimenting I found the solution:
var json = JSON.parse(response);
var pattern = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSS";
var mydate= json.mydate;
briefdatum ? new java.text.SimpleDateFormat(pattern).parse(mydate) : "";
This JavaScript in output parameter of the http-connector parses the date (if present).

ReferenceError when setting a Global variable in Postman

I get an error when trying to extract a value from a JSON response body in Postman.
ReferenceError: teste is not defined
This is what I have tried:
var jsonData = JSON.parse(responseBody);
pm.globals.set("access_token",jsonData.access_token)
** pm.globals.set("x-teste-msg-sign",jsonData.x-teste-msg-sign)
It's more than likely to be this, judging by the way you're extracting the access_token
pm.globals.set("x-teste-msg-sign", jsonData["x-teste-msg-sign"])
As the key contains the - character, you would need to use bracket notion rather than dot notion to access the value.
Here's an example:
let jsonData = {
"x-teste-msg-sign": 12345
}
console.log(jsonData.x-teste-msg-sign) // This would cause a script error
console.log(jsonData["x-teste-msg-sign"]) // This would set the value to the variable

PowerBI Query WebMethod.Post returns Expression.Error: We cannot convert the value "POST" to type Function

I'm using a website that requires that their API key AND query data be submitted using Webform.Post method. I'm able to get this to work in Python, C# and I'm even able to construct and execute a cURL command which returns a usable JSON file that Excel can parse. I am also using Postman to validate my parameters and everything looks good using all these methods. However, my goal is to build a query form that I can use within Excel but I can't get past this query syntax in PowerBi Query.
For now I am doing a simple query. That query looks like this:
let
url_1 = "https://api.[SomeWebSite].com/api/v1.0/search/keyword?apiKey=blah-blah-blah",
Body_1 = {
"SearchByKeywordRequest:
{
""keyword"": ""Hex Nuts"",
""records"": 0,
""startingRecord"": 0,
""searchOptions"": Null.Type,
""searchWithYourSignUpLanguage"": Null.Type
}"
},
Source = WebMethod.Post(url_1,Body_1)
in
Source
ScreenSnip showing valid syntax
It generates the following error:
Expression.Error: We cannot convert the value "POST" to type Function.
Details:
Value=POST
Type=[Type]
ScreenSnip of Error as it appears in PowerQuery Advanced Editor
I've spend the better part of the last two days trying to find either some example using this method or documentation. The Microsoft documentation simple states the follow:
WebMethod.Post
04/15/2018
2 minutes to read
About
Specifies the POST method for HTTP.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powerquery-m/webmethod-post
This is of no help and the only posts I have found so far criticize the poster for not using GET versus POST. I would do this but it is NOT supported by the website I'm using. If someone could just please either point me to a document which explains what I am doing wrong or suggest a solution, I would be grateful.
WebMethod.Post is not a function. It is a constant text value "POST". You can send POST request with either Web.Contents or WebAction.Request function.
A simple example that posts JSON and receives JSON:
let
url = "https://example.com/api/v1.0/some-resource-path",
headers = [#"Content-Type" = "application/json"],
body = Json.FromValue([Foo = 123]),
source = Json.Document(Web.Contents(url, [Headers = headers, Content = body])),
...
Added Nov 14, 19
Request body needs to be a binary type, and included as Content field of the second parameter of Web.Contents function.
You can construct a binary JSON value using Json.FromValue function. Conversely, you can convert a binary JSON value to a corresponding M type using Json.Document function.
Note {} is list type in M language, which is similar to JSON array. [] is record type, which is similar to JSON object.
With that said, your query should be something like this,
let
url_1 = "https://api.[SomeWebSite].com/api/v1.0/search/keyword?apiKey=blah-blah-blah",
Body_1 = Json.FromValue([
SearchByKeywordRequest = [
keyword = "Hex Nuts",
records = 0,
startingRecord = 0,
searchOptions = null,
searchWithYourSignUpLanguage = null
]
]),
headers = [#"Content-Type" = "application/json"],
source = Json.Document(Web.Contents(url_1, [Headers = headers, Content = Body_1])),
...

How to extract the values from the response body in postman

After posting the request, API return response body as string
Response body look like
{ UniqueID = 93243434,birthGender = M,birthDate = 11/1/2018 5:51:18
PM, familyNames = James, givenNames = Test }
when I try to set the environment variable using the below code
var data = JSON.parse(responseBody);
postman.setEnvironmentVariable("currentUniqueId", data.UniqueId);
I got the below error on test results
Error message:
There was an error in evaluating the test script: JSONError:
Unexpected token 'U' at 1:3 { UniqueID = 93243434,birthGender =
M,birthDate = 11/1/2018 5:51:18 PM, family ^
my goal is I need to extract the value 93243434 and assign to environment variable.
Hi you are using the correct way but you can try this version
var jsonData = pm.response.json();
pm.environment.set("UNIQUE_ID", jsonData.UniqueID);
The set("UNIQUE_ID" will help you save it in variable and you can name it as you want and jsonData.uniqueID will extract what you want to get from the Json response
If you view my approach I am extracting Access code and company id and saving it in variable and calling it in all next api's
You are using a notation pattern that is deprecated.
Instead of set your variable using:
var data = JSON.parse(responseBody);
postman.setEnvironmentVariable("currentUniqueId", data.UniqueId);
Try to set your variable this way:
pm.environment.set('currentUniqueId', pm.response.json().UniqueID);

Salesforce - Data type for webservice response

Im trying to execute/consume a webservice and wondering if I am using the correct data type to return the results. String seems to work, but I receive an empty string. The service should be returning a simple string value without XML. There is a working version written in JS below, I have been asked to recreate it in Apex.
JS version (Working) - executed when a button is clicked
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/24.0/connection.js")}
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/24.0/apex.js")}
var xfolder = "TestFolder"
var parentid = "22K22"
var myvar = sforce.apex.execute("myWS","invokeWs", {folderName:xfolder,ObjectID:parentid});
window.alert('LiveLink folder created: ' + myvar);
APEX version (not working)
public with sharing class myTest {
public String getWSXMLResult() {
String tmpFolderName2 = 'TestFolder';
String tmpObjectID2 = '22K22';
String myWSXMLResult = myWS.invokeWs(tmpFolderName2,tmpObjectID2);
System.debug('XIXWS|' + myWSXMLResult);
return myWSXMLResult;
}
}
One thing I just noted while typing this out. I didn't specify the argument names for invokeWs, just the values..do I need to specify those values in the call to the WS? Such as..
myWS.invokeWs(folderName=tmpFolderName2,ObjectID=tmpObjectID2); -- this errors out btw
Thanks again everyone.

SharePoint SoapServerException calling GetListItems web service

I have the following statement in my code:
System.Xml.XmlNode items = lstWebs.GetListItems(
"Tasks", string.Empty, listQuery, listViewFields,
string.Empty, listQueryOptions, WorkspaceId);
When executing this, the following exception occurs:
Exception of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SoapServer.SoapServerException' was thrown.
Exception Source is:
System.Web.Services
Stack Trace:
at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.ReadResponse(SoapClientMessage message, WebResponse response, Stream responseStream, Boolean asyncCall)
at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.Invoke(String methodName, Object[] parameters)

I have confirmed the site URL and it is fine.
Could you please help on why the exception is occurring? Do I need to reset IIS?
please find the detail.
SoapException.InnerException is Null.
However the soapExcetion.Detail.InnerText is showing: The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002)
Is the name tasks also the actual listname in the url? i.e. http://siteurl/lists/tasks? is the list in a subsite and are you using the service under the site-collection?
IF the list is in a subsite the use http://sitecollectionurl/subsite/_vti_bin/lists.asmx as the Service url, otherwise the lists.asmx will try to find the tasks list in the rootweb instead of the subsite.
The signature for GetListItems is
GetListItems(ListID, "", queryNode, viewFieldsNode, Nothing, queryOptionsNode, Nothing)
Try simplifying queryNode, viewFieldsNode and queryOptionsNode to the minimal.
In VB.NET
Dim caml = New XmlDocument
Dim queryNode = caml.CreateElement("Query")
Dim viewFieldsNode = caml.CreateElement("ViewFields")
Dim queryOptionsNode = caml.CreateElement("QueryOptions")
queryOptionsNode.InnerXml = "<ViewAttributes Scope=""Recursive"" /><IncludeMandatoryColumns>FALSE</IncludeMandatoryColumns>"
In C#
var caml = new XmlDocument();
var queryNode = caml.CreateElement("Query");
var viewFieldsNode = caml.CreateElement("ViewFields");
var queryOptionsNode = caml.CreateElement("QueryOptions");
queryOptionsNode.InnerXml = "<ViewAttributes Scope=\"Recursive\" /><IncludeMandatoryColumns>FALSE</IncludeMandatoryColumns>";
If it works, then the web service setup is correct.
When I had the mentioned problem, it was my invalid XML that caused it. There is a missing 'type' attribute on the 'Value' element of the 'Where' element in queryNode. I found it here from Microsoft.
Type | Required Text. Specifies the data type for the value contained by this element.
It works after adding the Type attribute. Check if any missing requirements for the xml in one of the nodes mentioned above?
Have you tried running with elevated permissions, it looks like the running user does not hav sufficient privileges to query the data...
