I want to create a simple skill which uses alexa's voice to text translation and then passes the text to a different service.
This seems close to what i am looking for: https://developer.amazon.com/public/solutions/alexa/alexa-skills-kit/docs/alexa-skills-kit-interface-reference,
but nowhere in the example request/response does it have the text form of the users request to alexa. Has someone managed to extract the text data of user voice commands, would be very helpful for me.
It is not easy, unfortunately and by design.
User responses are stored in word 'slots' in the interaction model. This is how Alexa parses speech and execute commands based on user utterances. Without knowing every variation of a possible word slot and writing this into your interaction model, you won't be able to store free form text in a variable and 'pass it on'.
It's not possible. The closest you can get there is by using the built-in slot type AMAZON.Literal (US only and deprecated) or AMAZON.SearchQuery (available in all locales). I say "closest" because SearchQuery for example requires a carrier phrase in the utterance besides the slot (it can't be there alone capturing everything).
Note that the free form capture provided by these types is less accurate than if you define a custom slot type (i.e. you know more or less what you want to capture)

guys! I'm looking for a solution or some ideas on how to solve my task.
There is a video surveillance camera(vendor: Hikvision) with an accessible web-interface.
In the web-interface, there is a field Device Name containing data I need to retrieve by means of the Zabbix server and further to use this data for renaming discovered hosts.
Since Hikvision cameras support SNMP, I've tried the SNMP agent in Zabbix. I turned out that Hikvision MIB doesn't contain data from that field.
Also exploring web-interface through Developer tools in Google Chrome I stumbled upon the string Request URL: http://10.90.187.16/ISAPI/System/deviceInfo which gives such response in XML format:
<DeviceInfo xmlns="http://www.hikvision.com/ver20/XMLSchema" version="2.0">
<deviceName>1.5.1.1</deviceName>
<deviceID>566eec0b-6580-11b3-81a1-1868cb48861f</deviceID>
<deviceDescription>IPCamera</deviceDescription>
<deviceLocation>hangzhou</deviceLocation>
<systemContact>Hikvision.China</systemContact>
<model>DS-2CD2155FWD-IS</model>
<serialNumber>DS-2CD2155FWD-IS20170417AAWR749464587</serialNumber>
<macAddress>18:68:cb:48:86:1f</macAddress>
<firmwareVersion>V5.4.5</firmwareVersion>
<firmwareReleasedDate>build 170124</firmwareReleasedDate>
<encoderVersion>V7.3</encoderVersion>
<encoderReleasedDate>build 170123</encoderReleasedDate>
<bootVersion>V1.3.4</bootVersion>
<bootReleasedDate>100316</bootReleasedDate>
<hardwareVersion>0x0</hardwareVersion>
<deviceType>IPCamera</deviceType>
<telecontrolID>88</telecontrolID>
<supportBeep>false</supportBeep>
<supportVideoLoss>false</supportVideoLoss>
</DeviceInfo>
Where the tag <deviceName>1.5.1.1</deviceName> contains required data and now the question is how to put two and two together by means of Zabbix.
Digging into Zabbix documentation I've found an article about creating an Item based on HTTP agent with XML request . Unfortunately there are not any exmaples how to do it exactly.
Has somebody had such experience? Any clues will be helpful
You can create an HTTP Agent item, set it to TEXT type and point it to http://10.90.187.16/ISAPI/System/deviceInfo (don't forget the authentication, if required!), Zabbix will retrieve the full XML.
To get the desired value you have to create a dependent item, point it to the previous item and set up a preprocessing step.
Create a single XML Xpath preprocessing rule with parameter string(/DeviceInfo/DeviceName) to get the 1.5.1.1 value
If you want to get the firmware version, create another dependent item and set up the XPath to string(/DeviceInfo/FirmwareVersion) and so on for every element you need.
If you want a single value you can use a single item, adding the preprocessing rule to the http agent item. I use my solution for flexibility, maybe one day I'll need another XML element or maybe a firmware update will add some element to the page.
Dependent items are more flexible, but of course the full XML uses more storage in the database for stuff you don't need right now: it's a tradeoff, either way works!
I'm creating an assistant and want to be able to return relevant passages of text from documents uploaded to Watson Discovery via the Search Skill.
When configuring the search response you are only provided with the option to return the full text and various enriched_text.x extracted_metadata.x etc.
None of this is really that useful (for my use case anyway) and what I really need is to point the user to the relevant text within the documents i.e. return passages.passage_text
Am I missing something in the tooling or can you only do this by coding the API call from scratch?
I logged in today to make another logic app today, and i noticed the return output for (in this example) a Http-call has changed.
Before, i have a memory of the whole object showing in the output of an action in the workflow. Now i just se this:
Picture below:
The output body is only a string in some kind of encryption...
Does the Workflow definition Language where i want to reach one specific value in the Json-body still work? Or was this Update a major overhall.
I'm lost here.
Does the Workflow definition Language where i want to reach one specific value in the Json-body still work?
Yes, We can still do it, seems like you at the designer over view of a run, if you want to see full of inputs and output click on the Run details tab on top of this screen.
enter image description here
The content is base64 encoded, if you want to decode with in the logic apps for any other action input, we can use the base64 function which are explained here (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/logic-apps/logic-apps-workflow-definition-language#functions)
Background:
Developing a trading system which subscribe to many events which are sent by API of Interactive Brokers. One interesting event is about my trading account value which fluctuates during trading hour so I would prefer to see the information with accountvalueupdate event immediately. I develop this one based on ActiveX api and c# in Visual Studio 2010.
the presentation I wanna check this information is to use a gauge developed by(http://www.devexpress.com/Products/NET/Controls/WinForms/Gauges/). This gauge looks fancy but the principle should be similar to the normal gauge we use in Visual Studio. It seems like I could only update the value of the gauge by databinding since I tried to assign updated account value to this.myGauge.value and failed.
I build up MySql connection between MySql and VS2010. I create only one table in MySQL which is called account. For the sake of simplicity, i only have two column(accountID and accountValue) and one row|(which means when event comes with new accountValue, I just overwrite the value of accountValue last session then the number of row is always one. really simple idea.....).In that Gauge proporties I found databinng option and I setted up by using advanced option to navigate throw available table and bind it to the only useful column accountValue.
Issue:
I set up the default value of the accountValue as 500 as default for test. I build my software. The gauge shows 500 correctly.
Of course, my real account value is not 500, so Now I click one button to connect to API and start listening the event. After few seconds, event arrives since I opened on Console for managing the mysql table and use select * from account to continuously watch the update. I noticed the value of accountValue column(TABLE WORKS RIGHT AND WE ONLY HAVE ONE ROW, OEVERWRITTING MODE) becomes the right one, for example, 35000.
HOWEVER, THE GAUGE DOES NOT CHANGE AT ALL...!! Now If i closed my software and build again, the gauge shows the right value 35000. Now I shut down the api and no coming event and only use commandline of mysql to change the value of accountValue again to 500. NO UPDATING in gauge as well.
It looks like the gauge only read the value of table during the build session or when it starts and never listen to the update of binding databases.
By the way, I tried to set up the biding data mode to either "onValidation" or "onPropertieschanged" but it does not solve although the "onPropertieschanged" looks the right one....
I tried to assign updated account value to this.myGauge.value...
Unfortunately, the information you provided doesn't allow to clearly diagnose this problem. There is no the Value property neither in WinForms GaugeControl nor in CircularGauge (as soon as in Linear/Digital/StateIndicator gauge), but only in ASPxGaugeControl (ASPxGaugeControl.Value). So, please provide a full sample code that doesnot work on your side.
All these properties can be changed manually in code or data-bound to data sources using the standard .NET data-binding mechanism:
The ArcScaleComponent.DataBindings property allows you to data-bind
to the current value of a circular gauge's scale (ArcScale.Value).
The LinearScaleComponent.DataBindings property allows you to
data-bind to the current value of a linear gauge's scale
(LinearScale.Value).
The DigitalGauge.DataBindings property allows you to data-bind to the
text displayed by a digital gauge.
The StateIndicatorComponent.DataBindings property allows you to
data-bind to a state of a state indicator gauge.
Please, review the following articles for more details: Data Binding.
The databinding feature is demonstrated in the Gauge's Main Demo project (the DataBinding module):
this.arcScaleComponent2.DataBindings.Add(
new System.Windows.Forms.Binding("Value", this.productsBindingSource,
"UnitsOnOrder", true, System.Windows.Forms.DataSourceUpdateMode.Never));

I am trying the post an invoice to SAP using the F-47 transaction and using SHDB to record the transaction and learn how it works. I see there that sometimes BU and ZK BDC OK codes are used. I would like to understand the difference between them, but could not find any official documentation. Please, explain the difference between the two?
I found the meaning of some of the status codes. I post it here, so I can remember:
/00. Enter
/AB Go to overview
=ZK Go to additional information
=ENTE Enter (don't know exactly what is difference between /00)
=PI select cursor location
=STER Go to taxes
=DELZ delete cursor
=GO continue
=BU post (save)
/EEND end processing
=Yes select "yes" from message box
=BP park (save)
=ENTR Enter (don't know exactly what is difference between =ENTE or /00)
=AE save when changing document
=BK change document header (parking or posting parked document)
=P+ next page
=BL delete parked document
A BDC_OKCODE indicates which action is (will) be executed on a screen (things like save, back, exit etc). The BU code is used for a SAVE function (like in MM01 transaction). Sorry but I cannot recall to which function ZK maps to. Obviously their difference lies in the fact that they map to different functions. You can still find out which function each button utilizes by using System->Status->GUI status.
By the way, BTCI transactions are not fully robust- minor changes in GUI flow let your program break. Error handling / analysis is tedious.... DId you have a look to posting methods more preferably? E.g. like BAPI_* function modules? With the help of LSMW you can browse for different input methods and use them later standalone. Or you can use transaction BAPI directly.
