I want to use the TFS WebAccess to open/manage work items.
I have found some documentation here on how to open work items using an URL:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb822136%28VS.90%29.aspx
http:// Server : Port /wi.aspx?pname= Project &wit= Type &[ Field1 ]= Value1 &[ Field2 ]= Value2
Is there some documented way to use POST to attach items and provide other details in one HTTP call?
There is no REST api (or other way) on web access to post changes to work items. It is a great idea though. Please use user voice to file your suggestion. This place is actively monitored by the TFS product group for future features.
After some digging-up, it seems that the only way to currently do it is to either use the SOAP webservices, which are rather limited - TFS 2010 WebServices
Or you can go with trying to reverse engineer the HTTP protocol by mimicking the requests sent from a TFS client, for the methods that are not exposed above.

I have a task toget some data from an external supplier.
They have a Rest OData API. I have to connect using a subscription-key(APIKey).
When creating the OData LService, I add an Auth Header: "subscription-key" and in the Value field, I enter my key. After saving, I create a new dataset, and the OData LinkedService, provides me with the remote tables. I can choose the table I want and after that I create a pipeline to copy data from that table to my Azure SQL server.
This works fantastic :-)
However, after closing my browser and re-open it, the subscription key that I have entered earlier on the linked service, is now replaced with stars as it is a securestring. When I now run my pipeline, it will think that my key is the ten stars that have replaced my real key.
What am I doing wrong here ?
Also I would prefer to get my value from the KeyVault, but it seems that this is not possible on ODat connections....
Hope someone is able to provide some insight here :-)

From my testing I did not get any error on re-running. However coming to dynamic keys - I was not able to achieve it using the ODATA linked service.
Alternatively, if you can hit the ODATA endpoint with REST / HTTP Connector
You could - have a Web Activity to get the keys from the Key Vault and Set in the Variable.
WEB Activity URL : https://<your-keyvalut-name>.vault.azure.net/secrets/<your-secret-name>;
You could access the output of the web Activity using : #activity('Web1').output.value & Store in a variable.
You can reference this variable as the SUBSCRIPTION KEY for the subsequent steps in the REST/HTTP dataset.
You could pass it along the additional headers
I'm trying to send different message cards to multiple teams channels.
I have already created a webhook (telekom/webhook) for this which gives me the right variables via json.
There are four department receiver channels (telekom/rest-api-component) which are also configured to send pre-formatted teams message cards with the variables they have submitted.
Currently this happens to all channels at the same time. In between I would need an "action" in which I can decide which of the channels is served based on the input values. Unfortunately I don't find anything suitable due to the variety of the apis. Do you know how I could realize this ? So something like if value department = Backoffice then (Teams "Account Management") action.
In order to be able to talk with the different applications from Office 365 I wanted to use the Microsoft Graph api which is now available for some time. I couldn't find them in Flowground. Are you planning to include this module ?
For the implementation with Office365 flows this would be absolutely necessary for me.
I want to come back to this question: The CBR is a good choice for executing decisions indeed. But is is this the best solution in every situation? I do not think so.
Assume the following task:
Depending on an input parameter test you want to fire a request to different web services (WS1:google.de and WS2:bing.de)
Solution 1: You realize the requests with dedicated connectors for WS1 and WS2.
In this case you need the CBR in front of WS1 connector and WS2 connector to decide, what connector has to been used next.
Solution 2: You are able to realize both requests with REST-API connector. In this case you can use a JSONATA expression as URL mapping, e.g.
(test="google") ? "http://google.de" : http://bing.de
By using JSONATA expressions every connector has (limited) capability for executing decisions.
Solution 2 has a big advantage when you are using realtime flows. In this case you are able to reduce the number of connectors they are needed for running the flow and (very important from a cost perspective ) the number of permanently claimed token by this flow.
For reducing the complexity of JSONATA expressions (e.g. when you add further search engines) and for separation of individual configuration items you can use the configuration connector (we can discuss this in a separate thread if needed).
Solution 1 is the choice without alternative when you have to decide between different structures/connectors they need to be executed within a flow.
Please try the Content-Based-Router: https://doc.flowground.net/guides/content-based-router.html, it is available on the Connector Catalog.
Hi i have googled all day long but i can't find an answer.
I have to write a web app which talks to asterisk.
It should be able to do ClicktoCall operations.
Can you guys recommend something ?
I came across a few projects but I'm still not sure.
I just want to connect to Asterisk and do calls from the web app.
thanks
If you're a Ruby programmer the best way for you to hook into Asterisk is adhearsion. It wraps up Asterisk's AGI and Manager (MAPI) APIs for you.
Also hAve a look at SIP, asterisk, adhearson and VoIP and in particular Adam Kalsey's answer. He works for Tropo which sponsor the adhearsion project.
First you need to know, that the protocol Asterisk uses is SIP, you can learn more at the Wikipedia.
Since you want to use an rails application, you may want to use ruby as well, so there's a ruby implementation named OverSip, you can check their API and see if it fits your requirements.
If you are aiming at web calls, you'll need an WebRTC, Flash or Java applet. For WebRTC you can check sipML5 for an opensource solution.
You can also opt for an interface, that will start a call from one number to another, using your phone. When the first call is picked up the server starts ringing in the destination.
Also you could make use of cloud communications providers like twilio, tropo, etc.
Try this Google search:
rails asterisk manager interface
I saw some interesting things right off. I am not trying to be one if those Use Google type people, just didn't want to paste all the links in that I found from this Google search.
Check it out, hope it helps.
There are several ways to do this but the three easiest ones are
1. Generate a call file on the Asterisk server
These files should be written to the dir
/var/spool/asterisk/outgoing
Asterisk will then pickup the file, process and delete it.
It's pretty aggressive when doing this so it's recommended to write the file into a temporary directory and then move it to the spool dir for processing.
An tutorial of the file format is here:
https://www.voip-info.org/asterisk-auto-dial-out/
(I personally feel this is a bit "hacky", and prefer doing it with an API call)
2. Generate the call by the AMI API interface.
Use the Originate function of the AMI API to generate the call. It's pretty easy to set this up just configure the manager.conf file whitch sets up a HTTP server on port 5038 from witch you can call the API.
https://www.voip-info.org/asterisk-config-managerconf/
3. Set up the call using the ARI API
First you need to setup ari.conf, this is enough for now:
[general]
enabled = yes
pretty=yes
allowed_origins=http://ari.asterisk.org
[my_username]
type = user
read_only = no
password = my_password
password_format = plain
This is a little bit more complicated to set up, but it really isn't that hard if you just get past the technical geek-speak. Just set up two channels, setup a mixing bridge and add both channels to the bridge.
To set up a click2call you dont even need to do that...
This is the call we use (ruby):
where
#{sip_id} is your registered SIP username
#{number} is the extension that is sent to the dialplan
#{USERNAME}
#{PASSWORD} is from ari.conf
HTTParty.post("http://sipserver.com/ari/channels?endpoint=SIP/#{sip_id}&extension=#{number}&context=outgoing&priority=1&timeout=30&api_key=#{USERNAME}:#{PASSWORD}")
(Note that you need to send the variabels for the variable parameter as a separate JSON for the originate command if you need to send them)
A really useful tool to understand how this works is the swagger at
http://ari.asterisk.org. We already allowed this origin in ari.conf so it should be ready to go. Remember to open your ports in firewalls etc.
Setup your Server IP and port and the API_KEY is in this format: my_username:my_password
I want to test the results from a WSDL service in a browser like IE9 or FireFox. I know that I can view the WSDL XML, but I want to test the return results of an endpoint called GetEmployeeById that accepts a parameter called Id and returns a class. I am assuming this is all serialized to XML, so a browser would be a good fit for testing this. Is this possible?
In case you are using Visual Studio for .net development, I think something much better than a browser probably would to use:
wcftestclient <url>
which can be called from the command prompt and is part of the tools from visual studio.
The tool will help you to build and receive complex objects and see the results already serialized.
internet explorer let's you make a request with simple string parameters if the WSDL provides enough information.
If you haven't seen it, then probably the WSDL is only for discoverability reasons, probably just points to another service in a different transport protocol, not port 80, if the service is not on port 80 you won't be able to use your browser.
You have another more complex tool called FIDDLER that you can format any kind of http request, as well as receiving any kind of requests, like json for example.
You can use this URL to test WSDL endpoints, send request and see response.
I'm looking for a way to push/receive AMF0 / AMF3 messages in Ruby(Rails).
From what I read rubyAMF can only act as a server.
What I need is a library that allows client access to FMS/Wowza.Any ideas?
As the developer of RocketAMF http://github.com/warhammerkid/rocket-amf, I don't know of any AMF libraries that can act as clients out of the box. However, if you're interested in it, it shouldn't be that difficult to reverse the server code in RocketAMF to work as a client. You would just write a serializer for RocketAMF::Request that uses the standard message calling style (#<RocketAMF::Request:0x10167b658 #headers=[], #messages=[#<RocketAMF::Message:0x10167ae88 #response_uri="/1", #data=["session stirng", 42.0], #target_uri="App.helloWorld">], #amf_version=3>). Then you would write a deserializer for RocketAMF::Response.
I'll try to put together a new RocketAMF build in the next couple days that can communicate with FMS, but it's not a guarantee.
