I'm getting custom asana headers with a task query - asana

I am making a task query to asana. I have a custom header that I made called holding pattern. It is not a task it is a custom header. In the task query the custom header is pretending to be a task and coming in with the task call. Why is this and how would I exclude it?

Well, Here is what I found. Custom headers in asana are tasks that have a colon at the end. Asana then knows to treat them like labels, but it still comes in as a task in the query call. I had to write,
var lastChar = task.substr(task.length -1);
if (lastChar != ":"){
//basically don't include it as a task.
}
I was already manually pushing each task to my own array one by one so I could attach it to it's project, so I just made it to where it doesn't push the tasks with colons on the end. I did not understand when I posted question what made it a custom header.
edit from first post:
I have a custom header which Someone else created. It just seemed easier to say I made it.
When I talked to the guy who made it he told me what it was he did, and then I was able to figure out what made it different than a task and exclude it.

How to add extra components to HL7 message using Java Hapi?

I am working on building a replacement to MIRTH and it looks like we are sending out non-standard HL7 ORU_R01 messages. OBR.5 should be just a single field but looks like we are sending a bunch of other data in this section.
<OBR.5>
<OBR.5.1>XXXX</OBR.5.1>
<OBR.5.2>XXXX</OBR.5.2>
<OBR.5.3>XXXXX</OBR.5.3>
<OBR.5.5>XXXXX</OBR.5.5>
<OBR.5.6>XXXX</OBR.5.6>
<OBR.5.7/>
<OBR.5.8>XXXXXXXXXX</OBR.5.8>
<OBR.5.10>XXXXXXX</OBR.5.10>
<OBR.5.11>X</OBR.5.11>
<OBR.5.12>X</OBR.5.12>
<OBR.5.13>XXXXX</OBR.5.13>
<OBR.5.15>XXXXXXX</OBR.5.15>
</OBR.5>
It seems like I should be able to something like the following.
obr.getObr5_Priority().getExtraComponents().getComponent(2).setData(...)
But I am having issues trying to find the correct way to set the different segments. All the fields are Strings.
Found something that I think has ended up working for us.
ID expirationDate = new ID(obr.getMessage(), 502);
expirationDate.setValue(format2.format(date));
obr.getObr5_Priority().getExtraComponents().getComponent(0).setData(expirationDate);
Where 503 refers to which element you want to set. In this case I am trying to set OBR-5.2. getComponent(0) because it's the first extra component I am adding for this particular segment. I am not sure entirely if my explanation here is correct but it creates a message we need and parses as I'd expect so its my best guess.

Integromat Scenario: One-shot module after iterating through a loop

I have created a scenario where I iterate through multiple modules with an array of data. This works fine.
After this completes, I want to run a module once before the scenario completes.
How do I add a module that won't get called in the loop?
There are few ways to achieve this,
Use Router to Create a new Route that will be triggered after the
first route is complete
Trigger new Scenario via Webhooks after you are done with the
scenario
If you are working with array, then using Array Aggregator or other
Aggregators will allow you to first complete the iteration and then
trigger the module you want to use
I am not sure exactly what you want to do after the iteration is complete, but setting the scenarios as displayed in the screenshot below should help you get started on this,
Using Router
For this you can create a router, the upper hand of the router is always executed first, so the iterator and other operations will be done there. After which, the next hand/route will be executed which will be the module you want to trigger at last.
However, If you want to pass some values from the first hand/route to the last one then you will need to set a variable and fetch it on the second route. See details here : https://www.integromat.com/en/help/converger
Using Aggregator Module
You can either use Array, Text or Numeric Aggregator to aggregate all the iteration operations and then trigger the module that you want to use at last.
As far as my knowledge goes, there is no Integromat default modules that can be configured before the scenario ends. We can leverage the Integromat API in future that is currently in development to do so.
I found a filter to be the most easy way of doing this. Essentially chekcing if this bundle position is equal to the total number of bundles!
If you're interested in doing something on the last iteration only, you can use a filter to check if the current bundle is equal to the total number of bundles
last bundle filter

Retrieving More columns as Part of VSTS query

I'm trying to fetch details from VSTS using VSTS query API. So to get all Portfolio Epics I created a custom query and used its ID to get that in JSON format. the query looks like this
https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/{team}/_apis/wit/wiql/{id}?api-version=5.0-preview.2
But the issue is its not giving me many details about each of the work items in JSON. It only lists the ID and URL. Like this
WorkItems:[
{ID:234,URL:"workitemurl"},
{ID:235,URL:"workitemurl"},
{ID:236,URL:"workitemurl"},
...
]
So if I need more details about an item I need to execute those individual URl for each PE and thus I can get its details. instead of I am just checking is there is any way of getting an ID (keyedinID of each work item along with the ID and URL) like this. Please note KID is a field if we execute the URL separately. So to avoid that extra process, I would like to get that along with the WorkItems.
WorkItems:[
{ID:234,URL:"workitemurl",KID:002},
{ID:235,URL:"workitemurl",KID:023},
{ID:236,URL:"workitemurl",KID:033},
...
]
So how can we make this possible?
The Web UI uses a different API to get query results (/_api/_wit/_query), which allows query+data in a single pass. This is an old __v5 type call, which means it's considered internal.
The proper way to do this now is to first do the query as you're doing it right now and then call /_api/wit/workitems?ids=1,2,3,4 using the IDs from the references you got from the first call. That will also allow you to load the details dynamically and in small batches which will result in a more responsive UI.

Railscast doesn't recommend a solution for production, I'm looking for a reason why

In this railscast our good friend Mr. Bates walks through a solution to creating an app that can search, sort, and paginate a set of data. When going through AJAX searching he provides a solution that will display results of the search the moment a user enters input into the search box. Here is his solution:
$('#products_search input').keyup(function () {
$.get($('#products_search').attr('action'), ↵
$('#products_search').serialize(), null, 'script');
return false;
});
However he states "Note that this is only a quick demo and isn’t the best way to do this. There are several jQuery plugins that you can use if you do something like this in a production app." I'm looking for an explanation on why he believes this isn't suitable for production. Thanks in advance!
There are two major issues I see with this solution. The first is that you are making an HTTP (AJAX) request every time a key is pressed, which will not be the most efficient way of doing this. The second is that you are basically calling eval in the response, and eval is bad as it can lead to malicious users executing code you don't want to be executed.
Some suggestions on improving:
Use a proper JSON parser and pass the data back as JSON. (you can use $.getJSON)
Throttle the request - don't do it on every keyUp, maybe start a timer and only submit the request if no keys have been pressed in the last second, meaning it won't make lots of calls for people who type fast.
Cache the response. If you have already searched for something, then there is no point fetching the data twice. Keep a note (in a JS Object) of previous calls in this session and their results.

How to stay RESTful with a complex API

My setup: Rails 2.3.10, Ruby 1.8.7
I need to implement an API that is essentially a GET but depending on a date, could involve DELETE and POST actions as well. Let me explain, for a particular day, the API needs to add 10 items to one table randomly selected from another table but this is only done once a day. If the items added are from the previous day, then the API needs to delete those items and randomly add 10 new ones. If multiple calls are made to the API in the same day, then it's just a GET after the initial creation. Hope this makes some sense.
How would I implement this as a RESTful API if at all possible.
How about?
GET /Items
If the next day has arrived, then generate 10 new items before returning them. If the next day has not arrived, then return the same 10 items you previously returned. There is no reason the server cannot update the items based on a GET. The client is not requesting an update so the request is still considered safe.
Not sure if I'm understanding you correctly, but just by looking at this, all I can think is the following: What a horrible thing, to perform an add which depending on what it's added, performs a delete. No disrespect, but seriously. Or maybe it is the way you are describing it.
Whatever the case, if you want to have a RESTful API, then you have to treat GET and PUT distinctively.
I don't think you have a clear use-case picture of how your API (or your system for that matter is to be done.) My suggestion would be to re-model this as follows:
Define a URI for your resource, say /random-items
a GET /random-items gets you between 0 and 10 items currently in the system.
a PUT/random-items with an empty body does the following:
delete any random items added on or before yesterday
add as many random items as necessary to complete 10
an invocation to DELETE /random-items) should return a 405 Method Not Allowed http error code.
an invocation to POST/random-items` should add no more than 10 items, deleting as needed.
/random-items/x is a valid URI so long as x is one of the items currently under /random-items.
A GET to it should return a representation for it or a 404 if it does not exist
A DELETE to it deletes it from under /random-items or 404 if it does not exist
A PUT to it should change its value if it makes sense (or return a 405)
A POST to it should return a 405 always
That should give you a skeleton sorta RESTful API.
However, if you insist, or need to overload GET so that it performs the additions and deletions behinds the scene, then you are making it non-RESTful.
That in itself is not a bad thing if you legitimately have a need for it (as no architectural paradigm is universally applicable.) But you need to understand what RESTful mean and when/why/how to break it.
