Example of JS nms.subscription.RecipientSubscribe()

[#1]

Hi,

I couldn't find any working example of the following method:

XML confirmationIds = RecipientSubscribe (      XML          recipientList,      XML          serviceList,      Boolean      subscribe,      XML          sendConfirmation )

Could you please show how it works?

I tried, without the success, the following:

var serviceXml = {service: {_key: "name", name: 'myServiceInternalName'}};
var recipientXml = {recipient: {_key: "email", email: 'my-recipient@yopmail.com'}};
var sendConfirmationXml = {sendConfirmation:{sendConfirmation:'true'}}; // what to use here???
var subscribe = true;
var confirmationIds = nms.subscription.RecipientSubscribe (
    recipientXml,
    serviceXml,
    subscribe,
    sendConfirmationXml
);
logInfo(confirmationIds);

Thank you

Florian

Hi,

Use this, apologies for the xml:

  nms.subscription.RecipientSubscribe ( 
    <choiceList selectAll="false">
        <key value="snarayen@adobe.com"/>
        <where>
            <condition expr="@email = 'snarayen@adobe.com'"/>
        </where>
    </choiceList>,
    <entityList selectAll="false">
        <key value="ceoTips"/>
        <where>
            <condition expr="@name = 'ceoTips'"/>
        </where>
    </entityList>, 
    true,
    <empty>false</empty>
  );

You have access to the source code?

Thanks,

Hi,

That param can be left empty. If you want to send confirmations, use nms.subscription.SendConfirmation().

Recipient and services forms both stub out that param and instead send a 2nd call to that action.

Hi wodnicki,

The issue was that the subscription was not created. There was no error raised, but nothing happened.

It turned out using the @name of the service doesn't work. We had to use the @id. So first we convert the service name to a service id, then we use your XML.

This is what we ended up doing:

var recipientEmail = "henry.gallagher@yopmail.com";
var serviceName = "ceoTips";
var subscribe = true;
var sendConfirmation = true;
// get service id
var query = NLWS.xtkQueryDef.create({queryDef: {
  schema: "nms:service", operation: "get",
    select: { node: {expr: "@id"} },
    where: { condition: {expr: "@name='"+serviceName+"'"} },
}});
var serviceId = query.ExecuteQuery().$id;
// recipient query
var recipientList = {choiceList:{
  where: { condition: { expr: "@email = '"+recipientEmail+"'" } },
}}
// service query
var serviceList = entityList = {entityList:{
  key:{ value: serviceId }
}}
// call
var confirmationIds = nms.subscription.RecipientSubscribe (   
  recipientList, serviceList,
  subscribe, {empty: sendConfirmation}
); 
logInfo('confirmationIds', confirmationIds); // DOMElement
logInfo('confirmationIds', confirmationIds.toString()); // 1:DM11|13605
logInfo('confirmationIds', confirmationIds.toXMLString(true)); // <elemConfirmationIds>1:DM11|13605</elemConfirmationIds>

Which seems overkill just to programmatically subscribe a recipient with the confirmation email... But it is needed in our case for a custom SOAP call.

Thank you

Oh I thought you meant the source code, cpp files. Most of those objects can be exported out of the instance per normal, some of them like non-specific db functions can only be read from the install dirs. What was the issue with the call I pasted?

Thanks, it's still not working but I'll have a second look

Source code can be downloaded on the support platform, from your Download Center > Build Neolane v6.1 nlserver6-8864-x86_64_rh7.rpm (8864)

Which contains some .xml and .js files, i.e. Find files with Notepad++:

Hi Jon,

I tried to leave the last argument empty, but it doesn't work:

nms.subscription.RecipientSubscribe(recipientList, serviceList, subscribe);

It gives the error

01/07/2019 2:12:25 PM js SCR-160012 JavaScript: error while evaluating script 'WKF407/js'.
01/07/2019 2:12:25 PM js Missing argument 'sendConfirmation' for method 'RecipientSubscribe' of schema 'nms:subscription'.

I also tried the following, which doesn't work:

var sendConfirmation = ''; // cannot convert the value to an XML document
var sendConfirmation = null; // cannot convert the value to an XML document
var sendConfirmation = {}; // does nothing
var sendConfirmation = {sendConfirmation:{$:true}}; // puts the workflow in a hanging state (Automatically resuming workflow (number of consecutive times: 1))

Finally, I looked for any reference of "RecipientSubscribe(" in the AC7-8864 source code, but I couldn't find any.

You got any idea?

Thanks
