queryDef select memo type field in javascript acitivity

Avatar

Level 4

Hi! 

I am attempting to simply select memo type field from a schema, but the javascript activity keeps throwing an error that "@description" is undefined. It seems to be related to the type of the attribute rather than a syntax error. 

Can anyone point me in the direction of how to solve this? Thank you very much in advance!

 

Error: 

29/11/2022 11:37:25 SOP-330011 Error while executing the method 'ExecuteQuery' of service 'xtk:queryDef'.
29/11/2022 11:37:25 XTK-170036 Unable to parse expression '@description'.
29/11/2022 11:37:25 Attribute 'description' unknown (see definition of schema 'Series (kap:series)').

Schema: 

  <element desc="Series" label="Series" labelSingular="Series" name="series">
    <dbindex name="sId" unique="true">
      <keyfield xpath="@sId"/>
    </dbindex>
    <key internal="true" name="sId">
      <keyfield xpath="@sId"/>
    </key>
    <attribute desc="The alphanumeric ID of the series." label="Id" name="sId" type="string"/>
    <attribute desc="The title of the series." label="Title" length="150" name="title"
               type="string"/>
    <element desc="A longer description." label="Descripton" name="descripton" type="memo"/>
    <attribute desc="The channel this series was broadcast on." label="Channel Code"
               length="100" name="channelCode" type="string"/>
    <attribute desc="URL for the information of the series" label="URL" length="400"
               name="url" type="string"/>
    <attribute desc="Series Image URL" label="Series Image URL" length="400" name="mediaLocationUri"
               type="string"/>
    <attribute default="GetDate()" label="InsertOrUpdatedDateinAdobe" name="InsertOrUpdatedDateinAdobe"
               type="datetime"/>
  </element>



Code: 

  var query = xtk.queryDef.create(
    <queryDef schema="kap:series" operation="select">
        <select>
            <node expr="@url"/>
            <node expr="@description"/>
        </select>
        <where>
          <condition expr={"[@description] IS NOT NULL" }/>
        </where>
    </queryDef>
    )
  var result = query.ExecuteQuery();
  logInfo(result);

  for each(var res in result){
    logInfo(res.@description);
  }

Hi @SorenDP 

 

Still the issue persists? This is weird. 

Apologies for the typo in the code .

var query = xtk.queryDef.create(   
<queryDef schema="kap:series" operation ="select">     
<select>           
<node expr="@url"/>            
<node expr="description"/>        
</select>        
<where>
  <condition expr={"description IS NOT NULL" }/>  
</where>   
</queryDef>

I am pasting a sample code which i used to retrieve a memo field. Please have a look.

Hi @SorenDP 

 

Memo Fields will not be accessed by giving  '@' because when try to see the display advanced field you won't be able to see '@' instead it just gives the name. Hence you can try the below code.

var query = xtk.queryDef.create(   
<queryDef schema="kap:series" operation ="select">     
<select>           
<node expr="@url"/>            
<node expr="description"/>        
</select>        
<where>
  <condition expr={"[description] IS NOT NULL" }/>  
</where>   
</queryDef>
    )
var result = query.ExecuteQuery(); logInfo(result); for each(var res in result){ logInfo(res.description); }

Hi @SorenDP 

 

Could you please check if the schema has been committed to the database through Update DataBase Structure?

Also in the structure tab of your schema, you may find 3 dots on right hand side below corner

, please click on that and see what's the name adobe has generated for the desired memo field. (I guess it should be description, but please check for confirmation.)

Hi! I checked all the above. The db structure has been updated, and the adobe generated name is "description". Hmmm.

I am a huge Moron. SORRY! I see now that the name of the field in the schema is "descripton" and not "description"..... Sooooo. 

Sorry that you spent time on this, but still thanks a lot!!
