There can be occasions when you want to allow user to interrupt a running X3 process/loops. Here we are describing how to achieve the same via combination of keys.

New Stuff: How to create multiple shipments by passing sales order range in Sage X3?

In X3 if you want to interrupt a process during execution you need use Inter 1 command in your code. This command tells Adonix that this part of process can be interrupted by hitting sequence of keys, which is called a “soft interruption sequence.” You will use the sequence of <CTRL> + <ALT> + <Q> keys together for this purpose. The <Q> key is defined by default in the X3.ini configuration file and it can be modified.

When you hit this key, a question box displays the following message: “Execution interrupted on line N … Do you wish to stop (Y/N)?” If you answer “No” to this question, the process will continue as before. Otherwise, it is interrupted.

Also you can write your own code which will trapped when interruption occur. You can achieve the same by writing your own label using the Onintgo instruction. In this case, no message is displayed by Adonix, but the subroutine defined on the label is executed with a possible return to the process.

Below is the code I have written on creation event of Inter-site transfer:

In our previous blog “List the files from the directory” we have showed you how to find List the files from the directory. In this blog we are describing how to find only files name from directory or path.
Sage X3 has a special function filinfo which is used to find all the properties of a “physical” file given in the argument.

New Stuff: How to create multiple shipments by passing sales order range in Sage X3?
Syntax:  filinfo ( path_fil, arg_ent )
Parameter:
1. path_fil : Char type expression for the file path to be tested.
2. arg_ent: Integer expression specifying the property to be found.

Kindly refer to the below snippet of code for better understanding.

Example: filinfo(DIR+”\”+FILELIST(I),7)>0
Here we have used “7” as arg_ent (Second parameter) of filinfo function which gives size of file in octets.
Note:
1: Represent Files
0: Represent Folder
-1: Represent File which is non existing.

In a Purchase order, while dealing with pricing you may want to round up net price up-to the nearest decimal place. Sage X3 provides a parameter where you can set whether you want to round the price or not. PURRND parameter will be help full when the pricing value will be in decimal.

New Stuff: How to perform mass generation of Delivery using picking ticket?

This parameter stipulates if a rounding must be applied to the net unit price.

The list of possible values is: No, Yes.

• No: The net unit price will be rounded to four decimals.
• Yes : The net unit price will be rounded based on the transaction currency

Kindly follow the below steps to change the parameter value:

Navigate to Setup>General parameters>Parameter values under ‘ACH’ chapter right click on it and select ‘Detail’

Then below screen will pop, now set the value to ‘YES’ or ‘NO’ as per your requirement for the PURRND parameter,

Hope this Helps!

Profiling the Sage ERP X3 script code is important to obtain the best possible performance. It localizes time consuming programs and measures how often certain code sections are called. This is possible by using a dedicated library.This is a two step process to get the profiling of X3 code (i.e Start and stop of profiling process)

New Stuff: Set default bank globally in Sage ERP X3

1. Starting the profile process

This is performed by using the function ASYRTIMING.START

STAT=func ASYRTIMING.START("",1)

This function includes two parameters:

a. A string character value that defines the temporary file name without an extension and path, where the calls and timestamps are written. If an empty value is given, the name will be generated  .

b. An additional integer is set to ‘0’ by default. Its value will be modified to ‘1’ if the code called by Gosub needs to be analyzed.

2. Ending the profile process

This is performed by using the function ASYRTIMING.STOP

STAT=func ASYRTIMING.STOP(GACTX,"",1,WFICTRACE)

This function includes four parameters:

a. A pointer on the current context.

b. The temporary file name where the calls and timestamps have been written. If the file name is not provided, the same algorithm will be used to generate it .

c. The same integer value to know if Gosub must be analyzed.

d. A string variable that returns the generated detailed log file.

For Example:

# Start the profile

Local integer STAT

STAT=func ASYRTIMING.START("",1)

# The X3 code

...

# End the profile

Local char WFICTRACE

STAT=func ASYRTIMING.STOP(GACTX,"",1,WFICTRACE)

You get the log generated when the function stops which can be read by you in log reading.

Below is the snipplet of the log genrated by the profiling process.

To unlock the full potential of Sage X3 Search, it must first be initialized and then updated from time to time. Depending on the size of your organisation and the volume of data, the update can be done more than once a day.

New Stuff: Profiling X3 code for performance

To initialize Sage X3 Search for the first time, the ‘Search Index Management’ function has to be set up and then executed. This function is located at:

Administration > Usage > Search Index Management (code: searchAdmins) –V8

The layout of the web page is as below:

The parameters you need to set up are:

• Endpoint- Defines the folder Sage Search will run.
• Entities- If empty it will run for all Entities, but it can run just specific parts.
• Locales- The languages that need update
• Delete index before update- When ticked, this option allows you to delete the index for the specified endpoint. It is particularly important when we want to reconstruct the index.
• Update modified records only-When ticked, this option allows you to update modified records since the last index update. It will not update deleted records

Regarding the other buttons in this function we have the option to:

• Update index- When executed it will pick up the defined setting and carry the update of Sage Search index. A window will pop up on the top screen to allow tracking.

• Delete index – When executed it will completely delete the index.
• Delete all index– It will delete the index, but an indexation on the administration endpoint will be necessary to rebuild the index.
• Schedule index update– It will allow you to append Update Index to a batch process.

Hope this helps!!

Lockwait sets the number of seconds that each attempt will last at locking a record, file, or symbol.

New Stuff: How to enable search engine in Sage X3 V8

Please check out below code snippet for how to Limit the length of the lock attempts to five seconds.

###################################################

lockwait = 5

Trbegin

Lock COMPTEUR

If fstat

BADLOCK = 1

Rollback

Else

[C]COMPTEUR += 1

Commit

Endif

###################################################

This code will lock the record COMPUTER for five seconds and will release it automatically.

Lockwait is an Adonix system variable of the Integer type, which allows you to set the maximum of seconds that each lock attempt will last via the Lock and Readlock instructions.

Lockwait can have all values from 2^31 -1 to 2^31. If its value is negative, the attempt time will be unlimited. If its value is null, a single attempt will be made.

The Lock (or Readlock) syntax With lockwait = allows you to assign this variable for a short while.

This instruction is not interruptible – even if the program is (by Inter).

Lockwait is not taken into account by the For, With, Lock, and Update instructions. A single attempt will be made for these instructions.

Hope this helps!!

Sometimes you come across where you want to display error message with high severity. So here Endbox displays a serious error box.

New Stuffs: Locking a record for specific time

Syntax: Endbox(“Write message body here”)

Endbox is used to declare a box serving to display a serious error message.

At both the technical level and the interface level, the Endbox is based on the same principle as the Errbox instruction, with a differing pictogram (red cross in the place of the yellow triangle).

It is necessary to reserve it for the case of blocking errors.
