NewPeriodicTask2

I have been using NewPeriodicTask2 to import xml files for a number of different customers without any issues.

I have a customer who uses the background task feature to import tab delimited order files. I am wanting to convert them from this and use NewPeriodicTask2 so the imports are not running on the main thread.

However when I attempt to open the file to read and process it I get this error:

2019-03-08 17:53:36 /THREAD(2) ERROR: Closing an import file from non-main thread

With xml files I do not open them but use the ParseXMLFile command.

I have rechecked my code and everything is all correct. It just seems I cannot open them as I normally would when I use the NewPeriodicTask2 command.

Customer is currently running 8.2 2016-12-18 (build 82211904) I am in the middle of migrating them to 8.5 and would like to get this resolved as part of the migration.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi Lee

I've not used ParseXmlFile. For these types of import I normally use AddFileToArea and then ParseXmlArea. Whether that would make any difference for you, I don't know.

Thanks Paul,

I have gone for the AddFileToArea and it has got me over the problem trying to OpenFile from a thread.

As this is a tabbed delimited file I am having to use the GetTabTextFromArea(row,column,area) command.


I am having to do this for each tabbed field and each row but it is working.


If you know of a way of returning the number of rows and the number of columns per row from an area I would appreciate some guidance. Tried a few different commands with no joy so at the moment I am hard coding these values.

Thanks again

Lee

lcnt = CountLinesInArea(afile);
for (lnr=0;lnr t = 0;

field1 = GetTabTextFromArea(lnr,t,afile); t = t + 1;
field2 = GetTabTextFromArea(lnr,t,afile); t = t + 1;
etc.
end;

Weird, it cut off that second line, let's try again...

for (lnr=0;lnr t = 0;

Nope, must be a bug in this forum that doesn't allow it!
