A question about Maximo 7.6.1.1 work orders:
In the service address tab, there are LONGITUDEX and LATITUDEY columns.
The columns can be populated a couple of different ways:
Automatically from the service address (linked to a GIS feature class).
Manually by a user (by right-clicking on the map and clicking Set record location).
Is there a way to determine what the source was for the LONGITUDEX and LATITUDEY columns?
For example, if the source was a user, then populate a custom field. Else, leave it null.
(Related keyword: Maximo Spatial)
Out of the box, I'm not aware of a way to know that.
If you have configured e-Audit for those attributes and that object, then you can query the audit table for the last record to find out which User made the change. Admittedly, it won't tell you how they made the change, but at least you can differentiate between service accounts and real users.
Other than that, I think you would need an autoscript with attribute.action launch points on those attributes that records the current user and whether the session was interactive (i.e. via the Maximo UI or not) in new xychangeby and xychangedinmx attributes on the woserviceaddress object.
I added a custom field to WOSERVICEADDRESS called XY_SOURCE.
And I created an automation script with an object launch point (Save; Add/Update; Before Save).
sa = mbo.getString("SADDRESSCODE")
x = mbo.getDouble("LONGITUDEX")
if sa and x: --Improved, as per Preacher's suggestion
mbo.setValue("XY_SOURCE", "Service Address")
elif x:
mbo.setValue("XY_SOURCE", "Manual")
else:
mbo.setValue("XY_SOURCE", None)
This seems to do the trick.
I'd be happy to hear if there are any flaws with this logic (or opportunity for improvement to the code).

I currently have an action that creates a new link between an object of type A, named OA, and an object of type B, named OB.
Our workflow has a constraint such that any object of type B can at most, be linked to 4 objects of type A. As such, I would like to define a submission criterion in the action such that submission is blocked if OB is already linked to 4 objects of type A.
I couldn't find a straightforward way to do this using the Action configuration UI. How could I accomplish this?
The easiest way to accomplish this would be to turn your action into a function backed action. This would allow you to take the following steps to accomplish the desired functionality:
You can search around to all objects of type A that are linked to OB by writing something like:
// Search around to all objects of type A that are linked to OB
const linkedObjects = OB.objectTypeA.all();
// Now get the number of linked objects
const numLinkedObjects = linkedObjects.length;
Prevent the function from running by throwing a UserFacingError if there are more than 4 linked objects
if (numLinkedObjects >= 4) {
throw new UserFacingError("Objects of type B cannot be linked to more than 4
objects of type A");
}
For reference, here are some relevant pages in Foundry’s documentation:
Creating Function Backed Actions (https://www.palantir.com/docs/foundry/action-types/function-actions-getting-started/#getting-started)
Accessing link types in Functions (https://www.palantir.com/docs/foundry/functions/api-objects-links/#link-types)
Throwing UserFacingErrors from Functions (https://www.palantir.com/docs/foundry/functions/user-facing-error/)
While you can certainly do this in a Function-backed action, the tradeoff is that you won't get up front validation of the criteria, but rather the user will submit the action and then will received a toast showing the UserFacingError text. So while this technically achieves the validation, it is a sub-par user experience compared to disabling the button with a message or otherwise catching the condition upstream of the action itself in the workflow.
An alternative, iff you're using the action exclusively through Workshop, (this won't work if you want the action to "stand alone" in object explorer), you can create an object set variable that holds the result of the search around and pass that in as a hidden parameter to the Action. You can then set up the Action submission criteria as normal to check the length of that parameter and provide a message back to the user. You can also use that information in the app itself to, for example, conditionally show or hide some other workflow for the condition.
If you take this approach, make sure to add the hubble-oe:hide-action typeclass to one of the object parameters in the Action Form configuration so that the Action doesn't show up where users could use it through Object Explorer.
I have phonorgraph object with billions of rows and we are querying it through object set service
for example, I want to get all DriverLicences from certain city.
#Function()
public getDriverLicences(city: string): ObjectSet<DriverLicences> {
let drivers = Objects.search().DriverLicences().filter(row => row.city.exactMatch(city));
return drivers ;
}
I am facing this error when I am trying query it from slate:
ERROR 400: {"errorCode":"INVALID_ARGUMENT","errorName":"ObjectSet:PagingAboveConfiguredLimitNotAllowed","errorInstanceId":"0000-000","parameters":{}}
I understand that I am probably retrieving more than 100 000 results but I need all the results because of the implemented logic in the front is a complex slate dashboard built by another team that we cannot re-factor.
The issue here is that, specifically in the Slate <> Function connector, there is a "translation layer" that serializes the contents of the object set and provides a response data structure that materializes the property:value pairs for each object in the set.
This clearly doesn't work for large object sets where throwing so much data into the browser is likely to overwhelm the resources allocated to the tab.
From context it seems like you might be migrating an existing Slate app over to Functions; in the current version, how is the query limiting the number of results returned? It certainly must not be returning several 100 thousand results for further processing on the front end? (And if so, that might be an anti-pattern to consider addressing).
As for options that you could currently explore, you can sort your object set and then specify a smaller limit to return:
Objects.search().DriverLicences().filter(row => row.city.exactMatch(city)).orderBy(date_of_issue).take(100)
You'll find a few more details in the Functions documentation Reference entry on Ontology API: Object Sets in the section on Ordering and limiting.
You can even make a work around for the (current) lack of paging when return an ObjectSet to Slate by using the last value from the property ordered on (i.e. date_of_issue) as a filter in the subsequent request and return the next N objects.
This can work if you need a Slate table or HTML widget that renders on set of results then, on a user action, gets the next page.
Suppose there are 1000 Person agent on 4 (a,b, c,d) GIS region area. On a certain event, I want to communicate with all the agents living inside GIS region "a" . In "a" region we have 200 person agents.If I send message or command to Person state chart, how I can make sure that only those 200 person agents living on that specific GIS region "a" is getting my command? Is there any way to model that?
You can filter messages inside the Agent's statechart transition, in order to only executethe transition when a certain expression is true (in your case: Agent is in the right region).
Of course you could do this filtering in a lot of other places too, for example when sending the message, or when receiving it. However you can always use this code to check if the Agent is located inside of a GISRegion:
main.gisRegion1.contains(this.getLatitude(), this.getLongitude())
This is assuming you executed this inside the Agent (therefore main. and this.) and the region you are looking for is named gisRegion1.
I have a dataset with multiple observations by participant. Participants are denoted by id. To account for this in the cross validation process, I add blocking = factor(id) to makeClassifTask() and blocking.cv = TRUE to makeResampleDesc(). However, if I leave id in the dataset, it will be used as a predictor. My question is: How do I correctly use blocking? My take would be to create a new variable, e.g. participant.id (outside of the dataset), next to remove id from the original dataset and then to use blocking = factor(participant.id), but I am not sure if this is the correct way to handle blocking.
Rather than supplying a variable for blocking you can provide a custom factor vector that specifies the observations which belong together. This is also shown in the tutorial.
This way you do not need to have the variable "participant.id" in the dataset.
Also make sure that you really want to use "blocking". Did you have a look at "grouping" already? The differences between both are also described in the linked tutorial section.
How can I validate the cells in a DataGridColumn individually? (ActionScript 3.5) The validation is configured per-cell, based on fields in the given row. For example
FIELD VALUE TYPE
age 13 Integer
height 13x3 Integer
registered true Boolean
temperature 98.G6 Float
In this case, of course 13x3 and 98.G6 would be invalid.
It's easy to write a Validator ; and to access the data provider objects.
But how do I get individual access to the GUI cell objects so I can set the errorString on an individual cell, either directly or through a Validator?
The itemRenderer/ TextInput control is re-used across the cells for performance reasons, so accessing the GUI-level objects is tricky.
Edit
Answers:
One way to validate and display the invalidation markings, but not per-cell, is to validate all data-provider objects and then set the errorString on the entire grid.
One way to validate per-cell is on the itemEditEnd event handler. (See these pages A B C D). One disadvantage is that it only allows access to the cells from the "inside", not in an action that validates the grid on command.
A custom itemRenderer is another possibility, as in the answer below, but like 3 above, it only allows access to the cells from the "inside", not in an action that validates the grid on command.
See Richard Haven's answer below.
And here's how to access the GUI objects: The list of relevant GUI objects is a protected field; so you can access it by subclassing, then iterate over the GUI-components which represent the cells and set the errorString on each one.
This website at BigResource asks how to access an individual cell. The third post answers there question and provides a link to a better resource than this. Figured you would want both. Hopefully this helps.
If you are looking for arbitrary validation (e.g. on a button or page navigation) rather than immediate navigation (e.g. on cell exit or end-of-edit), then the data is in the underlying dataProvider. I would do validations there rather than dig around inside the grid.
You can add a flag to the data item so the item renderer displays it as an error (or use an external list to flag it).
Cheers
Are you sure you actually want to access the individual cells' DisplayObjects? The component manages instances so that it only creates as many as it needs to display (so that huge datasets don't require a huge number of DisplayObjects on screen).
I think a better alternative would be to provide your DataGridColumn with a custom itemRenderer. You can write this class to accept a validator and update its appearance, and there are a bunch of great tutorials around about that.
