I'm able to read all expenses from QuickBooks Desktop with C# code using QuickBooks SDK. Once I have the expenses I need to copy them to Salesforce and when new expenses arrive those need to move to Salesforce as well.
So I'm able to connect to the app and get a collection of expenses. Here's the code.
//Connect to QuickBooks and begin a session
sessionManager.OpenConnection("", "test");
connectionOpen = true;
sessionManager.BeginSession(#"C:\TEST.qbw", ENOpenMode.omDontCare);
sessionBegun = true;
ICreditCardChargeQuery creditQuery = requestMsgSet.AppendCreditCardChargeQueryRq();
creditQuery.IncludeLineItems.SetValue(true);
IMsgSetResponse msgSetRs = sessionManager.DoRequests(requestMsgSet);
IResponse response = msgSetRs.ResponseList.GetAt(0);
ICreditCardChargeRetList checkRetList = (ICreditCardChargeRetList)response.Detail;
I have two questions.
Do I have to read CreditCard and Check separately or is there a way to get all expenses from one place?
Is there a way to get only latest data? Say I get all the expenese up to today. Tomorrow two more get added. Is there a way to get only the two that were added? I can do this by date of the expense but I'm asking if there a system way of handling this. Maybe mark it as received and only read received ones or is there a way to say give me expenses in a date range as opposed to the way I'm doing it.

QuickBooks does support a TransactionQuery request type that you could use to get this data in a single request, but it only returns summary details -- it doesn't return details such as individual line items, etc.
Chances are, you'll probably have to reach them seperately if you want any sort of meaningful details.
You can refer to the OSR for reference:
https://developer-static.intuit.com/qbSDK-current/Common/newOSR/index.html
Is there a way to get only latest data?
You can use the ModifiedDateRangeFilter filters to do this. e.g.:
//Set field value for FromModifiedDate
CheckQueryRq.ORTxnQuery.TxnFilter.ORDateRangeFilter.ModifiedDateRangeFilter.FromModifiedDate.SetValue(DateTime.Parse("12/15/2007 12:15:12"),false);
//Set field value for ToModifiedDate
CheckQueryRq.ORTxnQuery.TxnFilter.ORDateRangeFilter.ModifiedDateRangeFilter.ToModifiedDate.SetValue(DateTime.Parse("12/15/2007 12:15:12"),false);
You can refer to the QuickBooks OSR for full details.

I have a custom .NET application to query and managing data on a Microsoft Dynamics CRM instance.
This application is multilingual and the user can change via a language switch the language of the application.
For the connection and actions I'm using the OrganizationService and CRMServiceClient from Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk. This is combined with dependency injection to pass the connection to our different classes.
With Ninject this bindings look like
Bind().To().WithConstructArgument("crmConnectionString","the connection string");
Querying and updating the data in Dynamics is working but we are not able to retrieve the OptionSet values and Formatted values in the language the visitor have selected in the custom app. This is always in the same language even when we change the culture for the Thread before we call Dynamics.
How can we pass the current language / culture to the OrganizationService so that it knows in what language it have to retrieve the fields?
Someone told me that this is based on the account used to connect to the CRM. So if that's indeed the case then it means that if we have 5 languages that we need to have 5 connection strings and 5 OrgnaizationService instances that need to be called. How should I handle this in a good way in that case?
Thanks for your answers
The solution I implemented was to use CallerId.
Before returning the client I fill the CallerId with a Guid.
The Guid is from a user configured with a specific language in Dynamics.
Based on the language I take a different user.
I don't know if you can pass a culture to the OrganizationService, and I think having different connection strings would work if you want to go this route.
However, you can query the CRM to retrieve the localized labels for the option set you want, as described here.
To sum it up, it's using a RetrieveAttributeRequest, passing the entity logical name and field name and looping trough the result to get the labels.
var request = new RetrieveAttributeRequest
{
EntityLogicalName = "incident",
LogicalName = "casetypecode"
};
var response = organizationService.Execute(request) as RetrieveAttributeResponse;
var optionSetAttributeMetadata = response.AttributeMetadata as EnumAttributeMetadata;
foreach (var option in optionSetAttributeMetadata.OptionSet.Options)
{
Console.WriteLine($"Localized labels for option {option.Value}:");
foreach (var locLabel in option.Label.LocalizedLabels)
{
Console.WriteLine($"Language {locLabel.LanguageCode}: {locLabel.Label}");
}
Console.WriteLine($"Localized description for option {option.Value}:");
foreach (var locLabel in option.Description.LocalizedLabels)
{
Console.WriteLine($"Language {locLabel.LanguageCode}: {locLabel.Label}");
}
}
The code in the link also add caching of already retrieved values, so that you only query the CRM once per option set.
I’ve seen all around the documentation that Query-based sync is deprecated, so I’m wondering how should I got about my situation:
In my app (using Realm Cloud), I have a list of User objects with some information about each user, like their username. Upon user login (using Firebase), I need to check the whole User database to see if their username is unique. If I make this common realm using Full Sync, then all the users would synchronize and cache the whole database for each change right? How can I prevent that, if I only want the users to get a list of other users’ information at a certain point, without caching or re-synchronizing anything?
I know it's a possible duplicate of this question, but things have probably changed in four years.
The new MongoDB Realm gives you access to server level functions. This feature would allow you to query the list of existing users (for example) for a specific user name and return true if found or false if not (there are other options as well).
Check out the Functions documentation and there are some examples of how to call it from macOS/iOS in the Call a function section
I don't know the use case or what your objects look like but an example function to calculate a sum would like something like this. This sums the first two elements in the array and returns their result;
your_realm_app.functions.sum([1, 2]) { sum, error in
if let err = error {
print(err.localizedDescription)
return
}
if case let .double(x) = result {
print(x)
}
}

Using ODATA, How to get the last inserted row in /MySet where MySet.Name = "abc".
I do not want to continuously poll the odata service via model.read(). I know attachChange() or attachDataReceived()methods can be use to get notified automaically. But apart from notification, how to get the 'inserted row'. Also My doubt is how to satisfy the following three conditions here : $top=1, $orderby= Date desc and $filter=NAME eq 'ABC'
The only solution I can think of is to get notified by data inserted via attachDataReceived() and then make a model.read() call with the required filters and additional parameters. Although this would result in these additional 'read' calls.
Original Post Below:
Question: How to pass filters in element binding?
Post: I am using odata service for populating my views.
I want to pass certain filters like $filter=NAME eq 'Scott'
Since I want these parameters to be included only when with odata request for a specific ui-element, I want to include them in bindElement()
specifically something like this
var myFilter = new Array();
myFilter.push(new sap.ui.model.Filter("NAME", sap.ui.model.FilterOperator.EQ, 'Scott'));
var myStandardTile = this.byId("__tile3");
myStandardTile .bindElement("/MySet",{filters:myFilter});
But unfortunately this does not works. When I see the 'network' tab in developer console, Filters are not being added with my request.
You cannot. Neither filter nor sorter nor formatter are supported by element bindings. They are only supported by list and tree bindings.
When doing a PurchaseOrderQuery in QBXML I am trying to get Quickbooks to only return purchase orders that are not yet processed (i.e. "IsFullyReceived" == false). The response object contains the IsFullyReceived flag, but the query object doesn't seem to have a filter for it??
This means I have to get every single Purchase Order whether or not it's received, then do the filtering logic in my application - which slows down Web Connector transactions.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
You can't.
The response object contains the IsFullyReceived flag, but the query object doesn't seem to have a filter for it??
Correct, there is no filter for it.
You can see this in the docs:
https://developer-static.intuit.com/qbSDK-current/Common/newOSR/index.html
This means I have to get every single Purchase Order whether or not it's received, then do the filtering logic in my application - which slows down Web Connector transactions.
Yep, probably.
Any ideas?
Try querying for only Purchase Orders changed or modified (ModifiedDateRangeFilter) since the last time you synced.
Or, instead of pulling every single PO, keep track of a list of POs that you think may not have been received yet, and then only query for those specific POs based on RefNumber.
Or, watch the ItemReceipt and BillPayment objects, and use that to implement logic about which POs may have been recently filled, since BillPayment andItemReceipt` objects should get created as the PO is fulfilled/received.
I am currently creating an MVC application that is currently getting a value from a post from a webhook. I think that the problem is that the application is getting the value from the POST verb but then it is not displaying it because the Get verb is being used to display the View so both Verbs are counter acting each other.
The webhook will fire A Json payload to my application successfully because I have code in it that will send the Json payload in a variable via email to my email account.
Dim body = issue.issue.key
mail.Body = body
That is in a try catch block because in order for it to have a value it must have a value in it and the application will perform the GET first, so there is a null value in the body variable, then it does the POST to get the value but it will not display the value, refreshing will just perform the GET preventing it from being displayed. How can I perform both actions at the same time so I can display a value in a ViewBag for example.
ViewBag.response = status + key
This is the type of structure that I would like to implement to try and fix the error but I do not know how to complete all of the steps:
This is what I have got so far:
The POST is coming in from a webhook and I am reading it like this.
Dim reader As System.IO.StreamReader = New System.IO.StreamReader(HttpContext.Request.InputStream)
Dim rawSendGridJSON As String = reader.ReadToEnd()
Dim tempVar As Rootobject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(Of Rootobject)(rawSendGridJSON)
System.Diagnostics.Trace.TraceError(rawSendGridJSON)
I am then trying to store the post values in a table like this:
Public Function CallBack(tempTable as temporaryTable)
Dim tempVar As Rootobject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(Of Rootobject)(rawSendGridJSON)
tempVar = temporaryTable.tempVar
I then save the new items in the actual table in the database, then I try to display it in a view on another page. This is not working correctly and the problem lies with this line, as the post is not being correctly read in at the right time. (The value is processing correctly as I can use an email method to send the variables in an email back to the application but this application needs to be real-time efficient code).
Is there a better way to use this method and how can I invoke this process that I want to do properly so that I can display the correct information?
Update
To clarify, there are two posts that are happening, the first one is when the user enters in information and submits it. This is then stored in a database and send to JIRA via email. Once JIRA receives the information, it is sends a HTTP POST webhook JSON Payload back to my application with updated information. I then have deserialized the JSON Payload into a variable called issueKey.
The problem is that on the View page that the information is sent to will automatically display a null value first before the value is sent to it, I want the application to work so that it will actually display/store in a database the values from the Webhook JSON Payload but I cannot figure out how to display the values.
I have now set up a communication channel from SignalR to my MVC application, at the moment it is being received by the MVC and I have set up a SignalR chat Hub in my MVC application, but I don't know how to integrate them, how can this be done?
As I understand it, there are two flows at work here. The user posts data, which triggers an email to Jira. Then sometime later (usually quite fast, but not always) JIRA triggers a webhook in the web application with some updated information, and you want to display this updated information to the user somehow, or at least inform the user when the updated information comes back from JIRA.
I would implement a standard Post-Redirect-Get for the user initiated part (as per br4d's comment). I.e. a post to store the data in the database and send email to jira, which returns a redirect to a get which shows the data stored in the database.
Now for the other part I would use signalr to set up some sort of communications channel to the user. The webook could then send a signal (of sorts) through the communication channel to the users browser and either display the data, or trigger a refresh of the page (if you are updating the database with data from Jira).
It is unclear if you are doing straigt mvc, or some sort of SPA application, but it is not really important. The users browser has no way of knowing about the webhook (which is a part of the webapplication and unrelated to the users session), and you need some sort of communication between the webapplication and the browser, and for this signalr is very very good.
