My BusinessObject has some parameters. For date and time I try to get the current ones with following little script before executing the corresponding connector.

 

var date;
var time
date = input.requestDate;
time = input.requestTime;
if (date == “”)
date = new Date().toISOString().slice(0, 10);
if (time == “”)
time = new Date().toISOString().slice(11, 21);
var insertedID = Simplifier.Connector.QueueProcessor.saveRequest({
“CustID”: input.CustID,
“ReqDate”: date,
“ReqTime”: time,
“ReqType”: input.requestType,
“requestor”: input.requestor,
“status”: input.status
})

Connector respons with following message:

{
“message”: “Unexpected exception: com.itizzimo.appServer.connector.ConnectorType$PayloadValidationException: Invalid payload for connector type SQL: Parameter type of parameter ‘ReqDate’ could not be determined automatically because no JSON value was provided”,
“success”: false
}

How can I construct current date, time, etc. in business objects?

How can I debug my business object?

Hi Klaus,

Tip:

You can use moment.js in server- or clientside business object to get and format dates. Its very intuitive and gives you lots of options.

To use it in a clientside businessobject, you need to add it as a managed library for the object, and it is always available in a server side business object.

 

Now to the error you are seeing:

Unfortunately, simplifier data type validation does not support js date objects at the moment and thus they wont be handed over to the connector.

The error you are seeing means that the connector got an empty value for the “ReqDate” parameter.

The recomended way to transmit date values it to transform them to String values.

 

Debugging options for business objects vary between the 2 types:

Client side business objects:

You can simply use the js debugger; statement to create a breakpoint for your browser.

Server side business objects:

Debugging is a bit more complicated. You can create multiple outputs and and use the testing dialog to check the results step by step.

Hello,

i have a little complement for the debugging of server side bo’s.

A better way is using the Simplifier.Log object because if the business object breaks with an error you will never get the output parameters.

with the Simplifier.Log object he is logging into the Logs & Monitoring at the time you call it so if the Business Object breaks after your log statement the Log is already written to the Logs & Monitoring.

There are 5 log levels.

debug
info
warn
error
critical

and you can use it like this.

Simplifier.Log.debug(“message”, details)

Note:
The visibility of your log and loglevel depends on the server settings you have for log levels.

In my case the Debug logs will not shown.
