When I create an embedded document for signing, if the document times out after the 5 minutes allowed, how should I handle this? Just resend and basically create a new one? I've done this and it seems to duplicate envelopes... Is there a way to just renew the timeout, and re-direct the user to the same envelope? I've found similar posts but cant seem to find the exact answer to this... the goal of course avoiding a second envelope charge because they took longer than 5 minutes to sign the document. In creating a new envelope I'm sending the exact same document id, user etc.. but still seems to duplicate it on the back end.
The "short lived URL" that you generate from the API does expire, and it is only good for a single use. If you need another URL due to timeout or 'finish later', you can use the API to request another URL. You do not need to create another Envelope.

I've written a script that sends an hourly email to me using:
MailApp.sendEmail("john#doe.com", "Status Update", currentStatus);
My only gripe is that every message I get is treated as a separate thread, despite the subject lines all being the same. I'd prefer if all were threaded so I can see the stream of messages in one place.
Is there any way to have new status messages appended to the same thread?
Will this require using GMailApp functions instead?
EDIT (2016-08-26): I have solved my problem using the following method/workaround:
Include a unique "marker" somewhere in the status message. I use a static UUID that I generated online.
Use GmailApp.search() to find the thread with the status message(s) by looking for the unique marker.
Use GmailApp.reply() to add a new status message to the thread.
This keeps all the status messages together as desired. Perhaps there's a more elegant way to do this but this works...
I have a senario that has been causing me issues for the last few weeks now. I currently have a "homepage" that populates with data from a controller with sports stats. This data comes from a service that is also used for the individuals pages for this sports stats.
For instance a user is able to click one of the listings on the home page and get a detailed list of that particualar entry with a state change from sports.com to sports.com/id/sport
I do this by taking the id from the home service and pass that through the paramenters within the state for the details page. From here I use that same service with the #id as a paramenter in order to get the details for that page (using $stateParams.id).
Normally that would work fine, but here is the problem. Sometimes when hitting the details page the service fires off the get request before the $stateParams.id is availibe and I end up with an error in my request. So instead of /json.php?detail=id im getting /json.php?detail=
For a cheap fix I now have the search query waiting on a timeout for 800ms in order to give the state time to resolve the $stateParams.id and then finally send out the request. My question is, what is a better way to do this? Is this something experienced often? It seems like in all my time with angular I haven't run into this situation so I'm a bit at a lost. Thanks
Thanks for your reply for my question: Is this a bug of Box API v2 when getting events
This is a new problem related to this. The problem is that I cannot reliably use the next_stream_position I got from previous calls to track events.
Given this scenario:
Given the following two GET HTTP queries:
1. GET https://api.box.com/2.0/events?stream_position=1336039062458
This one returns the JSON file which contains one file entry of myfile.pdf and the next stream position = 1336039062934
2. GET https://api.box.com/2.0/events?stream_position=1336039062934
This call uses the stream position I got from the first call. However, it returns the JSON contains the exactly same file entry of myfile.pdf with the first call.
I think if the first call gives a stream position, it should be used as a mark for that exact time (say: TIme A). If I use that stream position in subsequent queries, no events before "Time A" should be returned.
Is this a bug? Or did I use the API in the wrong way?
Many thanks.
Box’s /events endpoint is focused on delivering to you a highly reliable list of all the events relevant to your Box account. Events are registered against a time-sequenced list we call the stream_position. When you hit the /events API and pass in a stream_position we respond to you with the events that happened slightly before that stream position, up to the current stream_position, or the chunk_size, whichever is lesser. Due to timing lag and our preference to make sure you don’t miss some event, you may receive duplicate events when you call the /events API. You may also receive events that look like they are ‘before’ events that you’ve already received. Our philosophy is that it is better for you to know what has happened, than to be in the dark and miss something important.
Box events currently give you a window roughly 5 seconds into the past, so that you don't miss some event.
We have considered just delaying the events we send you by about 5 seconds and de-duplicating the events on our side, but at this point we've turned the dial more towards real-time. Let us know if you'd prefer a fully de-duped stream, that was slower.
For now, (in beta) if you write your client to check for duplicate events, and discard them, that will be best. We are about to add an event_id to the payload so you can de-duplicate on that. Until then, you'll have to look at a bunch of fields, depending on the event type... It's probably more challenging that it is worth.
In order to help you be able to figure out if an event is a duplicate, we have now added to each event an event_id that will be unique. It is our intention that the event_id will allow you to de-duplicate the responses you receive from subsequent GET /events calls.
You can see this reflected in the updated documentation here, including example payloads.
I have an html form which inserts data into a database. I just built it.. it's very basic, as I'm just doing this to learn. In doing this, I see that I can hit the back browser button and post again.. and again.. and again.. and it keeps writing to the db.
I've seen sites where I try to resubmit info and it tells me I must wait 60 seconds (or whatever). Is this the preferred method to solve this problem? If so, how does one go about implementing it?
Or maybe you would handle it a different way?
When you insert a row, store the submission time in the table, or in the user's session.
Whenever you process the form, compare that time to the current time. If it's within 60 seconds, display an error instead of inserting a row.
There are two methods :
i) Simple client side javascript:
Store the time of last event in a javascript variable,
when the user does the event again , send an alert message about timing.
( This method can be fooled though by users knowing javascript )
ii) Store the time of last event in your database at backend when the form post is done. When the same form post is done again, check for the time, if it is allowed, do the processing, else reply with a message about the timing.
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.
