I need to get some very specific information from the FogBugz API. Although I can spend time with the API documentation but I was just wondering if folks here had experience with it and might offer some help.
I need this information - for a given date range and a given person I want to know how much time he spent on the tickets.
So, we use the 'working on' feature a lot and I think we can get this info using this feature somehow. Not sure.
So what command/query should I be looking at?
Any suggestions/pointers would be helpful!
Thanks a bunch!
The FogBugz XML API can get you what you're looking for via the listIntervals command in the Time Tracking section:
cmd=listIntervals - returns all TimeIntervals for a user. Any of the optional arguments serve to filter the results.
Arguments
ixPerson (optional) - Specifies which user's intervals should be returned. If omitted, list intervals for the logged on user. If set
to 1, list intervals for all users. Note that you must be an
administrator to see time interval information for users other than
the logged on user.
ixBug (optional) - Specifies that only intervals associated with this bug should be returned.
dtStart, dtEnd (optional) - If dtStart and/or dtEnd are supplied, listIntervals will return intervals whose start date falls
between dtStart and dtEnd.
So the query you'd be using would look something like this:
[your FogBugz url]/api.asp?token=[your XML API token]&cmd=listIntervals&ixPerson=[ixPerson you're interested in]&dtStart=[start date]&dtEnd=[end date]
For future reference, there is a FogBugz-specific Q&A site: http://fogbugz.stackexchange.com

I am trying to build a Paginated report with many number of parameters [8] and with huge number values [100-1000] for each parameter. Because of the complexity in the UI, I intend to develop two reports.
Report [.pbix] where the user can select the parameters and values
The paginated report [.rdl] that's the actual result with pages of data.
The Report 1 will be calling the report 2, based on a generated URL. THis works for a limited number of parameters but since the list is huge, the reports are not generated because of the limitation on the URL length on the browser[chrome&IE]. I am looking for a solution that can work with an indefinite number of parameters. Trying to make this work with FORM and POST method so the parameters can be sent within the header itself.
Have looked into the https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Service/Paginated-Report-Using-URL-Parameters-and-Select-ALL/td-p/8... but the solution doesnt always work as the URL length is huge.
Is there a solution that can work with any number of parameters. preferably something that uses FORM/POST method. Open to any other suggestions - please let me know.
Regards,
Sasi.
Unfortunately I am sorry to inform you that according to Microsoft there are some strong limitations with transferring selected parameters when directing the user into Report Builder.
you can define no more than 10 filters conditions.
URL bytes length is very limited
For example, even if you use only one slicer, if the user selects 24 different values in that slicer it will break the URL toward Report Builder.
What is the exact Business Need? Either the business accept some strong limitations or you need to think of another implementation.
An example of possible limitation to propose the business is: Power BI passes only Year and Month to Report Builder, next, the user in Report Builder need to re-select the additional parameters.
Currently I'm checking if a tweet was created after another tweet based on the timestamp, but this is proving inconsistent. What is working locally is not working all the time on my server. I suspect a timezone issue (my server is in another time zone).
But I was wondering if I can do this based on Twitter's unique ids for each tweet? Something in the form:
if (tweet2.id > tweet1.id) {
// tweet2 created after tweet 1
} else {
// tweet2 created before tweet 1
}
Is this possible? If not I'll ask another question about what could be going wrong with my date implementation.
Twitter ids are generated by twitter snowflake mechanism which
is an algorithm and a cluster of machines to produce it. In general
those id's are sequential so your comparison will basically hold. The
problem is those id's are currently > 64 bits so js will truncate
those. The trick is to use tweetXXX.id_str field which is the id
casted to a string for your comparison.
I haven't see your date implementation but probably you are no comparing UTC date values. Any way comparison made on datetime will not give you correct results even on ms scale there will be many tweets on same date time.
My goal is to find the deleted transactions during a period of the time for a list of jobs. The period of the time can be different from job to job. I am currently using TxnDeletedQueryRq but the request only provides filter on date range. I tried to look into other requests, but no luck so far. I am wondering if anyone knows a way to achieve this.
Thank you.
The only way that I can think of would be to create an audit trail report and parse for the state "Deleted". This allows you to set an entity filter for the name, plus you could set the modified date range an the report period to maybe help narrow down the information you would need to parse:
IGeneralDetailReportQuery report = MsgRequest.AppendGeneralDetailReportQueryRq();
report.DisplayReport.SetValue(false);
report.GeneralDetailReportType.SetValue(ENGeneralDetailReportType.gdrtAuditTrail);
report.ReportEntityFilter.ORReportEntityFilter.FullNameList.Add("Customer");
report.ORReportPeriod.ReportPeriod.FromReportDate.SetValue(fromDate);
report.ORReportPeriod.ReportPeriod.ToReportDate.SetValue(toDate);
report.ORReportModifiedDate.ReportModifiedDateRangeFilter.FromReportModifiedDate.SetValue(fromModDate);
report.ORReportModifiedDate.ReportModifiedDateRangeFilter.ToReportModifiedDate.SetValue(toModDate);
I am looking for a timezone converter site which accepts arguments of a time, city, and date on the command line and opens up a page showing the equivalent time/date in my current locale. (Needing to specify my current locale would be acceptable.) I do need it to be a little smart about searching for the cities - I don't want to have to enter an exact timezone syntax but rather a substring which results in a unique search.
Unfortunately spending money is not an option - I've got to find a free service.
More detail:
I use DTRT extensively and would love to be able to do an instant time zone conversion straight from my address bar.
I would like to type this:
3pm Dallas 2015-03-20
and get a page telling me what time that will be in my current location (and perhaps in certain other locations I would set up).
The DTRT is designed to simply convert the query string in the URL to a different URL so I'm looking for a site that might accept GET parameters like this in the URL. I've done quite a bit of googling, but so far everything I have found either (1) requires me to go through their interface to convert the cities to codes or (2) doesn't do GET parameters at all.
Any time zone converters you know that do this? The closest I've found is this and it uses those codes...
Here is another option which works just by naming the city in the URL, but it has no capability of doing it for another date. When I am setting up meetings when one city changes to DST one week and another city 3 weeks later I absolutely have to have the date capability.
Have you tried wolfram alpha?

I would like to search for a tweets within a range of between dates by using Twitter API v1.1
let Query query=new QUery(String query);
what is the query thats suits for my question ??
Thanks in advance for reply back.
I suggest setting until to limit your query to an upper date bound, e.g.:
query.setUntil("2014-07-01");
Then step back through the result set, by making subsequent search calls, until you hit your lower date bound.
Be aware that the search API may not contain all Tweets and it may not 'go back' as far as you need. For more information on it, and other query parameters, take a look at Twitter's documentation on searching.
