Hi, We've started using the known issues slot on the composite app object for capturing notes about tech debt (high level stuff), and missing capability/long term feature requests to remove other stores of this data in the org. It would be really convenient to be able to add these via the App Editor...

Ok the biggest blocker to creating a custom connector using the postman collection, is that the Power platform doesn't support an Oauth grant type of password . So we're back to - could EA move to a more modern approach for dealing with api access (remove the need for a user) maybe use app API tokens?

Hey Darren, thanks for the reply. I guess having a standard connector that prevents the user from having to worry about authentication, and crafting request/response etc. provides a better user experience. I have people in my team and outside of my team where they’d be happy to use a standard drag/d...

No takers on this? A few things have moved on, MS now support v2.1, however, it is restricted to 256 operations. The latest essential API spec has 28x. Also the essential naming conventions leads to 30 errors in operation names due to special characters, namely ' ( ). I'll have a go at splitting the...

The power platform offers significant feature sets for enterprises, of which I suspect most EA subscribers also subscribe too. Having a maintained connector to allow business users to build forms, flows, views/dashboards etc.would extend the usability of the system almost immeasurably. One can creat...

Ok, this one was definitely user error!

For those that might find themselves in a similar position, don't use the viewer ID, make sure it's the repo ID!!

I'm trying to get the basic API functionality working in PowerShell prior to moving onto PowerAutomate in MS 365. I've got the login working and I'm getting a bearer and refresh token back, but I keep getting a 401 Unauthorised error when trying to get the 'applications'. This is my code: # Set up v...

Have you considered the app key style approach vs user/pwd?

Hi, Now I don't know if this is a bug, or just me being uneducated in modern API tooling... I was trying to test the login API to get the bearer token in Postman and I kept getting a GET Method not supported. Googling implied likely a URL (domain) or auth issue. I switched to Powershell using the ex...

I second a GraphQL end point, this is more about giving a better API experience and is separate to the UI experience, thus being APIs it's already technical in nature so GraphQL being technical is ok too in my opinion.

Hi again, i ve managed to bypass the cors issue by using a proxy, but its just a workaround. @jasonp. Yes I am working on a browser based application, in detail: its an excel addon to update values via excel without using the import utility. ( Think about it as real time connection between a reposi...

Most appreciated Chris! I won't get to experiment with this just yet, but when I do I'll get a friend in our PowerBI team to take a look and see if there are any suggestions. Thanks for your efforts and sharing with the community.

Hi Chris, We're a new user of EA cloud. This will no doubt be extremely useful. My plan is eventually to allow our analytics team to own the design and build of the dashboards so the pain doesn't sit with IT to build new EA viewer views, however, I suspect it will be a mix. On that note, do you have...

That worked, thank you.

Hi, I'm trying to upload our logo image, but after browsing the images folder for the viewer, and trying to upload a file, I get a red notification stating 403 error. I have sys admin access, I'm assuming I'm doing something wrong, but I don't see any further guidance in the help video for customisi...

Hi, So I can no longer import the LaunchPad xls (the report version generated by essential viewer). I'm trying to build a new Ubuntu Linux build (this is a clean install), it's currently Ubuntu Server 18.04, JDK 8, MQSQL 5.7, JDBC driver 8, tomcat 9, all the latest Essential installers as of 20/06/2...

Hi, Is there a view that groups and displays 'application providers' by say a high level app service? So something like this: https://essentialviewer.com/demo/report?XML=reportXML.xml&XSL=ext/shared/ess_al_app_ref_model.xsl&LABEL=Application%20Reference%20Model%20-%20APM&cl=en-gb But rat...

Ok the script is a bit tidier now. There is a set of variables at the top, if you set RDP=Y it will install all the stuff you need to then be able to remote in via an RDP client, say on windows etc. it also has an option to remove quiet mode etc. unfortunaly Ubuntu has abug with the xrdp package, so...

Ok, so I wasn't happy with the performance of running this on windows/MS SQL with remote clients, and I don't have time to learn docker or ansible etc. so I have created a bash script to install everything (currently up to v6.10 models) on a vanilla install of Ubuntu 20.04 Check it out here: https:/...

hi John, Yeah so 6.9 has been applied - it shows in the EA_Class >> About_Essential >> Meta_Model_Version as 6.9, I've published, but the xml that gets downloaded from the support view is named l4_launchpad_export - there is a tab in the xls named "Physical Proc 2 App and Service", but i d...

Team. Is there a place at essential website where we can place the custom templates that we create for open source community? Example. I have created a Viewer/template for Interface Catalogue (two different styles) (utilising existing meta model) Hi there - I'd love a copy of this, can you post it ...

Thanks for the replies.

So the v5 launchpad pack has a bug and doesn't update the support view to export a v5 compliant XML (Excel)?

Hi John, So you will find some custom docker images in various repos (github etc.) They no longer work out of the box due to where and how the team package up the releases now. However, it gives you insight into how to driver the protege and the widgets installers without the UI - so it can be done....

Hi, Firstly, thank you for the awesome product, and free! I'm trying to prove it's value to justify a cloud subscription to get the extra views and the webforms for data entry, however, I first need to get the core data into the OS version. I started populating via Protege, then got the latest versi...
