Dear Yosef, 



I guess that you can take a look at the following marketplace application which should cover your use case:

Kind regards,

Roman

Dear Roman,

Thank you for this.

I installed it but it gave me an error... The only thing I need to know is where the info is being stored.

There should be a sys object somewhere?

Either way, thank you for the suggestion.

Kind regards,

Yosef

Hi Sebastian, 

Here are the example how you can do it:

If this is a cloud system, and you don't have access to local tools, you can use the following commands via SQL Executor to get the SQL for the view.

If database is MSSQL:

SELECT
    definition
FROM
    sys.sql_modules
WHERE
    object_id = object_id('viewname');

If database is Postgresql:

select pg_get_viewdef('"viewname"', true)

Hello Krishna, 

The SQL Console add-on is currently being refined. Our Marketplace team will publish the application once it is done. Most likely it will become available in the next two weeks. 

Please, let us know in case any further information is required. 

Best regards,

Olga. 

Krishna, 

In the mean time, if you have it in an existing system, you can export the package to install elsewhere.

Ryan 

Ryan Farley,

Ryan, I was thinking so but was worried if it will work in latest 7.17 version. Have you tried it in new version?

I would recommend creating a trial app that will be 7.17 and installing the package with SQL-executor to it.

Best regards,

Oscar

Oscar Dylan,

Thanks Oscar, will try that.

Hello,

Thank you for your question!

Can you please check this Marketplace add-on, I believe it can help you with your business task.

But still, if you decide to use your approach, then:

1. Yes, that is feasible. The data will be available in the Application but you need to understand that if you miss to insert something, the data might be corrupted. Also, this kind if data transfer won't trigger BP as this will be considered to be direct data insert into the DB.

2. I can not say that this approach is recommended but it is possible. And again, you need to perform a lot of testing before real data transfer just not to lose data.

Best regards,

Bogdan S.

Bogdan Spasibov,

Hi Bogdan. Appreciate your very clear answer. 



Yes, We did consider the plugin. But our use case needs to migrate data from a few custom SQL databases and on an ongoing ETL for 2 weeks.  Also, We mostly have custom objects on Creatio and it is not a typical Creatio CRM that we are building. 



#1 Yes, I understand that this won't trigger BPs. We are only doing this as a 1 time migration activity as our client is migrating an existing custom application to Creatio. 

Bogdan Spasibov,

HI Bogdan. Have a follow up question - 



We have workflows & business logic configured at the Application layer (Via business processes, entity event listeners & incoming API integrations). However, we need to transfer some data into our Database only via direct SQL. Is there any way at all of triggering application level logic on some Database level triggers?

I can think of a few round about/hacky ways of achieving this. Want some input wrt support for DB to Application layer execution flow from a Creatio product stand point and any clean ways of doing this.

M Shrikanth,

In case you need to interact with the database directly you need to use either stored procedures or triggers that could trigger additional actions upon some actions on the application level. This will be the easiest way to achieve your target.

Additionally there is a separate dbExecutor class that allows interacting with the database directly - https://academy.creatio.com/docs/developer/back-end_development/working….

 Please use one of these two options to achieve your business task.

Best regards,

Oscar

Oscar Dylan,

Hi Oscar. Thank you for the response. 



I was referring to use cases like the following - When a SQL Trigger gets activated, Run a business process at the Application layer. There is no direct way to do this I would presume?



Also, the dbExecutor class will help perform operations unidirectionally from the Application layer to the DB layer. I don't think something like this is available - When a trigger runs at the DB layer, it is available as an Event to catch or subscribe to at the Application layer. Is this right?



A very distant example would be something like this - 

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3512026/how-can-i-execute-net-code-…

M Shrikanth,

Hello,

Yes, you are right, there is no way to call a business process execution using database triggers. You can call a business process to execute using ProcessEngineService.svc https://academy.creatio.com/docs/developer/front-end_development/creati… but this is the application layer.

You can call stored procedure using dbExecutor, but not visa versa (trigger calls a process). You can use another approach: insert data to the database and then call the process manually for all the records by their CreatedOn date value. As a result data will be inserted to the system and processed by a business process.

Best regards,

Oscar

Oscar Dylan,

Thank you Oscar for your response. Yes, the final approach you have suggested is one of the ways I also thought about. It is still round about and non optimal. Appreciate your answer nevertheless. 

Dear Robert,

Organization Roles can be transferred only by SQL scripts. Functional roles are transferred by binding data of the System administration object. The rights to existing records should be transferred via scripts as well. To distribute rights to new records you can either set up a business process or configure object permission directly on the production environment.

Angela

Thanks Angela!

But the question is how can I transfer the definition of the permissions, without rewriting the SQL script over and over again?

Is the following procedure the only way?

1. Select the current permissions manually with SQL
   
   the tables are:
   1. SysEntitySchemaOperationRight for object permissions
   2. SysEntitySchemaRecordDefRight for record permissions
   3. SysEntitySchemaColumnRight for column permissions
2. transform the result to and insert/update statement
3. save those scripts in the package SQL section
4. export/import package

And do I have to/am I allowed to truncate those 3 tables first?

Is there a stored procedure that applies the new permissions on the target systems' records?

Thanks a lot and best regards

Robert Pordes,

Your description is almost correct. Please see all steps:

1. Create scrip for update/ insert records from SysAdminUnit table to use these records in the next steps

2. Select the current permissions manually from SQL the tables:

2.1 SysEntitySchemaOperationRight for object permissions

2.2 SysEntitySchemaRecordDefRight for record permissions

2.3 SysEntitySchemaColumnRight for column permissions

2.4 Also there are tables like Sys{ObjectName}Right (e.g. SysAccountRight) in which record rights are stored, so you should create script for each object. 

3. Transform the result to and insert/update statement

4. save those scripts in the package SQL section

5. export/import package

Best regards,

Angela

Hi Angela,

thanks, but aren't the tables Sys{ObjectName}Right storing the applied rights (they will be populated by clicking "update record permissions", correct?). If I create scripts on eg DEV system, the data will not be the same! I mean we will definitely have different eg. account and contact records on dev/test/prod system.

That's exactly why I asked this in my previous post: 

Is there a stored procedure that applies the new permissions on the target systems' records?

Thanks,

Robert

Robert Pordes,

There is no stored procedure. This is why I suggested workarounds like

binding data and business processes.

Angela

Hello,

1. We already do not recommend using SQL Server 2012 for onsite deployment and use 2016 version instead. 

2. It depends on the system administrator and server structure and many other variables that are hard to predict. 

Best regards,

Angela

Angela Reyes,

Hi Angela, 



Are there any known issues with Creatio on SQL 2012? The documentation says that Creatio is compatible with 2012 SP3 and higher. 

M Shrikanth,

There are no known issues so far. If needed you may stay on SQL 2012.

Angela Reyes,

Thank you very much Angela. Appreciate your response. Quick follow up question - 



Are there any known performance, security, availability or any other benefits at all, to Creatio using SQL 2016 instead of 2012? We want to understand if there are reasons why Creatio would recommend 2016. We would like to pass this on to our client to enable them to make a conscious choice to move to SQL 2016. 



We need high availability, redundancy and fail over and are going with a web farm environment on a private cloud. Also, We will be using the Machine learning service in Creatio. Let me know if this makes any difference to the SQL version choice. 

M Shrikanth,

We recommend SQL 2016 due to its own features that were implemented in that version, like security features, ect.

Best regards,

Angela

Angela Reyes,

Got it. Thank you Angela. So the Creatio application per say does not benefit from moving to SQL 2016. But owing to inherent advantages in SQL 2016, it is recommended. 

Hi Pedro,



Seems like in your snippet you are setting brackets '[]' in wrong order. Systems tries to add column 'SysUserInRole' to the query which does not exist. I assume that you need to change it for the following:

esq.addColumn("=[SysUserInRole:SysUser].SysRole", "Role")



To make it more clear I have put together an example:

 

var esq = this.Ext.create("Terrasoft.EntitySchemaQuery", {
					rootSchemaName: "SysAdminUnit"
				});
 
				esq.addColumn("Name");
				esq.addColumn("Contact.Name");
				esq.addColumn("=[SysUserInRole:SysRole].SysUser");
 
				var currentUserFilter = this.Terrasoft.createColumnFilterWithParameter(
						this.Terrasoft.ComparisonType.EQUAL,
						"=[SysUserInRole:SysRole].SysUser",
						Terrasoft.SysValue.CURRENT_USER.value);
 
				esq.filters.addItem(currentUserFilter);
 
				esq.getEntityCollection(function(response) {
					debugger;
				}, this);

This example generates following sql query:

 

exec sp_executesql N'
SELECT
	[SysAdminUnit].[Id] [Id],
	[SysAdminUnit].[Name] [Name],
	[Contact].[Name] [Contact.Name],
	[SysUserInRole].[SysUserId] [SysUserInRole.SysUserId],
	[SysUser].[Name] [SysUser.Name]
FROM
	[dbo].[SysAdminUnit] [SysAdminUnit] WITH(NOLOCK)
	LEFT OUTER JOIN [dbo].[Contact] [Contact] WITH(NOLOCK) ON ([Contact].[Id] = [SysAdminUnit].[ContactId])
	LEFT OUTER JOIN [dbo].[SysUserInRole] [SysUserInRole] WITH(NOLOCK) ON ([SysUserInRole].[SysRoleId] = [SysAdminUnit].[Id])
	LEFT OUTER JOIN [dbo].[SysAdminUnit] [SysUser] WITH(NOLOCK) ON ([SysUser].[Id] = [SysUserInRole].[SysUserId])
WHERE
	[SysUserInRole].[SysUserId] = @P1',N'@P1 uniqueidentifier',@P1='7F3B869F-34F3-4F20-AB4D-7480A5FDF647'

Hope it helps!

Dmytro

Hello Rocher,

This query is based on which field you are using to determine if the contact is duplicate or not. Here is an example of contact duplicates search result via SQL-query by contact name:

select Name, count (Name) Amount from Contact

group by Name

having count (Name) > 1

Best regards,

Oscar

Try this

var opportunityCarQuery = new EntitySchemaQuery(UserConnection.EntitySchemaManager,"OpportunityCar");
opportunityCarQuery.AddAllSchemaColumns();
 
var filter = opportunityCarQuery.CreateFilterWithParameters(FilterComparisonType.Equal, "Car", (Guid)carNodeId);
opportunityCarQuery.Filters.Add(filter);
 
var opportunityCarEntities = opportunityCarQuery.GetEntityCollection(UserConnection);
 
foreach (var opportunityCarEntity in opportunityCarEntities)
{
	var theId = opportunityCarEntity.GetTypedColumnValue<Guid>("Id");
}
