Sequentielle Suche mit FileMaker und PHP

Manchmal sind es nicht die großen Frameworks oder hochkomplexen API-Integrationen, die den Unterschied machen, sondern ein bewusst einfacher, robuster Ansatz, der sich nahtlos in vorhandene Workflows integriert. Genau das war der Ausgangspunkt für eine kleine aber wirkungsvolle Lösung, die FileMaker mit einem PHP-basierten Webinterface verbindet – mit dem Ziel, eine sequentielle Suche über eine größere Datenmenge performant und flexibel umzusetzen. Das derzeitige Problem beim Kunden, vor Jahren habe ich eine Sequentielle Suche nativ in FileMaker umgesetzt. Die übliche Vorgehensweise, ein Script sucht bei jedem Tastenanschlag, genutzt werden alle Felder die in der Schnellsuche eingeschlossen sind. Über die Jahre wuchs der Datenbestand, es wurden Felder innerhalb von Ausschnitten erfasst. Es musste so kommen, der Kunde konnte die Suche kaum mehr nutzen, tippen, warten, tippen. Sehr unschön und langsam. Dann kam mir im Zuge einer Listenansicht, in die ich eine Suche integriert habe, die Idee. FileMaker überträgt per -Aus URL einfügen- Tabellendaten an ein PHP-Script. Im WebViewer wird dann die Tabelle angezeigt, nebst einem Suchfeld. Also frisch ans Werk gemacht und schnell festgestellt, die Felder in Variablen zu verpacken, macht in der Menge keinen Spaß. Also das ganze per Schleife, Feldnamen holen, die Werte dazu sammeln. In Schleife, ist das gut machbar, aber trotzdem ein nicht unerheblicher Zeitaufwand. Dann eine Eingebung, exportiere die Tabelle und verarbeite die Daten direkt auf dem Server per PHP. Vorgehen: FileMaker exportiert eine strukturierte Datenmenge als CSV – diese Datei wird im Hintergrund automatisch an ein kleines PHP-Script übermittelt. Dort wird sie interpretiert, analysiert und in einer visuellen Oberfläche dargestellt, über die eine freie Volltextsuche möglich ist. Der Clou: Mit jedem Tastendruck wird die Ergebnisliste dynamisch reduziert – und bei Bedarf lassen sich über die Enter-Taste direkt Projektnummern an ein FileMaker-Script zurückgeben, das dann wiederum die interne Detailansicht aktualisiert. Ganz ohne Datenbankabfragen im Webserver, ganz ohne MySQL, Redis oder externe Services. Die PHP-Logik bleibt dabei angenehm überschaubar. Ein Beispiel für das Parsen und Darstellen der Daten sieht so aus:

<?php $csvData = []; $data = file_get_contents("php://input"); if ($data && strlen($data) > 0) { $lines = preg_split('/\r\n|\r|\n/', $data); foreach ($lines as $line) { if (trim($line) !== "") { $csvData[] = str_getcsv($line, "\t"); // Tab-getrennt } } if (!empty($csvData) && empty(array_filter(end($csvData)))) { array_pop($csvData); } } $spaltenIndizes = range(0, count($csvData[0] ?? []) - 1); ?>

In der Darstellung im WebViewer werden alle Datensätze tabellarisch angezeigt. Der Clou kommt mit JavaScript: Dort wird bei jeder Eingabe automatisch geprüft, welche Zeilen noch zum aktuellen Suchbegriff passen. Zusätzlich hebt ein kleiner Style-Block die passenden Zellen farblich hervor, um die Treffer visuell zu unterstützen. Und weil alles clientseitig passiert, bleibt es schnell – auch bei mehreren tausend Einträgen. Besonders elegant wirkt die Integration in FileMaker: Die Projektnummern der sichtbaren Zeilen werden bei einem Enter-Klick gesammelt und per fmp://-URL an ein FileMaker-Script übergeben. Diese Direktverbindung ermöglicht, das Webinterface wie eine native Erweiterung der Datenbank zu nutzen – ohne Performanceverlust, ohne Redundanz, ohne Hürden.

document.getElementById("searchInput").addEventListener("keypress", function(event) { if (event.key === "Enter") { event.preventDefault(); const rows = document.querySelectorAll("#csvTable tbody tr:not(.hide)"); const ids = []; rows.forEach(row => { const id = row.querySelectorAll("td")[0]?.textContent.trim(); // Erste Spalte = ID if (id) ids.push(id); }); if (ids.length > 0) { const param = encodeURIComponent(ids.join("|")); const url = `fmp://$/AVAGmbH?script=Projekt_LIST_Suche_PHP&param=${param}`; window.location.href = url; } } });

Nach dem Klick, startet das FM-Script. Wir holen uns die ID,s nach üblicher Vorgangsweise und suchen in Schleife alle ID,s zusammen. In dem Zug, wird natürlich auch das Suchfenster in FileMaker geschlossen. Diese Form der sequentiellen Suche hat sich im Test als stabil und pflegeleicht erwiesen – gerade in Szenarien, in denen FileMaker allein bei umfangreichen Datensätzen an die Grenzen kommt, etwa bei mehrdimensionalen Suchen über unstrukturierte Felder oder bei extern generierten Listen. Und auch wenn es kein High-End-AI-Suchcluster ist: Die Lösung hat Charme. Weil sie genau das tut, was sie soll. Weil sie den Workflow nicht verbiegt, sondern erweitert. Und weil sie etwas bietet, das man oft zu selten hat: unmittelbare Rückmeldung und Kontrolle über den gesamten Prozess. Jetzt wird nur noch ein wenig mit CSS das ganze verschönt, dann kann der Kunde damit arbeiten.

SQL Server on Linux!? – Meet SQL Server 2017

Over the last decade, DATA is the NEW OIL. While the increasing amount of digitization has led to data exploding exponentially, several other factors have also contributed. The cost of data storage has dropped substantially; enterprises are unwilling to delete any of their data. DATA is now a Corporate Asset and archived NOT deleted.

In the “Always On-Line” world all the systems accumulate huge amounts of data in real time.   Analysts & experts want to analyze these mountains of data, popularly known as “Big Data”. The world today believes that in order to prosper and grow, they have to have the ability to “spot” emerging trends and patterns before they become mainstream.

This has led to a spectacular increase in the use of the Apache Hadoop Linux platform for Analytics. Data scientists across the world have been using this platform to manage and analyze “Big Data” since traditional SQL databases were not suitable in this environment. In the past, Microsoft provided interfaces to these technologies. To aid its own expansion and grab a market share in the emerging technologies Microsoft released R server for Hadoop & Linux and included R services starting with SQL 2016. They are further fortifying this position with the launch of SQL 2017 RC1.

Microsoft has introduced SQL Server 2017 RC1 which supports Linux. Interestingly Microsoft has chosen to support Red Hat Server & Desktop, Suse Linux & Ubuntu Linux flavors which cover most of the current installations. SQL server 2017 supports Linux and Active Directory services authentication for both Windows & Linux domain clients, allowing authentication of users across different platforms.

SQL server 2017 includes analytics using built in Python & R services! Microsoft has always focused on security. SQL server 2017 has TLS support so the data between SQL Server & clients can be always encrypted!

Some the features are not supported in this release of SQL server as yet. You can find details of the Microsoft release notes here.

MetaSys Software has been delivering high performance and secure database solutions using legacy SQL server version and recent undertakings are on SQL server 2016. If you are looking for web or database solutions, please connect with us.

Actual Odbc Driver

Troubleshooting

Mysql Odbc Driver Contact Php Software Listing (Page2). About Actual ODBC Driver for OpenBase Now you can access data from your OpenBase database using Microsoft Exceland FileMaker Pro. MySQL Connector/ODBC project is an ODBC driver for the MySQL database server.

Actual ODBC Driver for Access v.1.6 With the ODBC driver for Access, you can connect to Microsoft Access databases and import data directly into an Excel spreadsheet or a FileMaker database. There is no need for an intermediary Windows PC - this driver reads data from the database file.

Actual ODBC for Apple Silicon! Version 5.1 of the Actual ODBC Pack is now compatible with native Apple Silicon apps and MacOS Big Sur. Intel Macs and Rosetta are also supported. The Actual ODBC Pack installer is available from our website. How to Obtain Actual Technologies ODBC drivers allows Mac OS X users connect to enterprise databases using common desktop applications such as Microsoft Excel and FileMaker Pro. Create pivot tables, charts, and graphs from an Excel database via Microsoft's built-in support for ODBC queries. ODBC drivers support the Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS), making it easy to configure a cloud.

Problem

In V5R2 of iSeries Access for Windows V5R2 the ODBC driver's registered name has been changed to 'iSeries Access ODBC Driver'. This name change may impact some applications.

Resolving The Problem

Users of V5R2 iSeries Access for Windows may notice that the following ODBC driver names are registered: 'Client Access ODBC Driver (32-bit)' 'iSeries Access ODBC Driver' Both names represent the same driver. There is no functional difference between them. The Client Access ODBC Driver name is still registered to allow applications that use existing datasources (DSNs) or DSN-less connections to run without requiring changes. The preferred method for creating new datasources is to use the 'iSeries Access ODBC Driver' name; however, this is not required. Selecting either driver name creates a DSN with the new 'iSeries Access ODBC Driver' name. Existing ODBC User and System datasources (DSNs) that were created with Client Access are migrated automatically the first time the DSN is used. No action by the user is required. File DSNs are not migrated (even if edited). Although they can be used with V5R2 iSeries Access, future versions of iSeries Access may not support the old driver name. All File DSNs should be deleted and re-created. This information is also described in the Addendum to V5R2 readme.txt available on the iSeries Access Web site and in the OS/400 V5R2 Memorandum to Users. Programming Notes The older 'Client Access ODBC Driver (32-bit)' name is deprecated. Applications written to use DSN-less connections (the SQLDriverConnect API and the DRIVER connect string keyword) should be updated to use the 'iSeries Access ODBC Driver' name. A future version of iSeries Access will no longer register the Client Access driver name causing these applications to fail if they are not updated. This is described in the 'Addendum to V5R2 readme.txt': 'Be aware that in a future release, the former name of 'Client Access ODBC Driver (32-bit)' will be removed. If you use an application that uses a File DSN or DSN-less connection (one that specifies the DRIVER connection string keyword when connecting) you should consider changing your application to use the new name 'iSeries Access ODBC Driver'. Uninstall Notes If iSeries Access for Windows is removed, existing datasources are not changed. If an older version of Client Access is then installed, any datasources migrated to iSeries Access for Windows will fail to connect (see Note). The new or migrated datasources must be deleted and re-created or the cwbODBCreg tool can be used to restore the older 'Client Access ODBC Driver (32-bit)' name. The cwbODBCreg utility is included in V5R2 and is also available at ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/as400/products/clientaccess/win32/files/odbc_tool/. To convert all datasources to V5R1 and earlier, run the tool with the following options: cwbODBCreg -name V5R1. Note: With the current version of the Microsoft driver manager, a failure will occur only if the DRIVER path and the ODBC Data Sources name are not correct. V5R2 iSeries Access alters both. In addition to the name change, the DRIVER path moved to the Windows system directory. This was done to enable future support for 64-bit versions of Windows. Because both values changed, most users encounter the error if they uninstall and restore a previous release. The unistall information is also described in the V5R2 Memorandum to Users.

What Makes a Coder?

We’ve all seen the stereotypes: that coders look exactly one way—and it’s not exactly the most inclusive description. (In fact, there’s a pretty high chance that if you’re reading this, you don’t look like the coders we see on TV, in movies, and in the media.) But that’s simply not an accurate representation of the tech world—which is growing more diverse as people find ways to join the industry that don’t involve slogging their way through Silicon Valley. This is the first installment of What Makes a Coder?—a monthly column that will spotlight two people with tech skills and the diversity of their careers. Some might work at giant tech companies, some might be freelancers, or others might not work in the tech industry at all—they simply use their tech skills in another field. These programmers are all over the world and have different backgrounds, education levels, ages, genders—we could go on and on. We’ll get to know each coder with a series of questions about their career trajectories, how they got their coding start, and what they do outside of work. In the process, we hope to make clear that there is no one specific persona or path in tech: Tech is for everyone, and it can be a winding road to get there.

Jing Pei, twenty-something, San Francisco

What do you do and where do you work? I do front end development at a mid-size tech company.

Did you start out your career as a coder? Nope, I didn’t start out coding! I ended up getting my first job as a supply chain allocator for a large retailer in New York through one of those New Grad programs.

It involved working with a lot of Excel spreadsheets. To populate the data in the spreadsheets we used, we would click a button and all the latest data would get pulled into the spreadsheet. I became obsessed with understanding how this process worked and found myself learning to write VBA macros to automate my job.

How did you learn to code? I have a very, very long journey with learning to code.

I made tons of personal websites tinkering with HTML during high school and chose to major in Computer Science in college. It seemed like the perfect major at the time just because I loved computers! I got a pretty rude awakening when I realized that coding was not the same as copy/pasting markup. College Computer Science was a really brutal struggle to understand computer science theory, complex algorithms, and even basic concepts like object oriented programming. The major really lacked the practical element I was hoping for, and my advisor eventually convinced me to drop out of the major.

I ended up with only a minor in Computer Science but had no practical implementation knowledge. After non-coding jobs and internships, I ended up returning to coding by learning to write VBA during work (more on that later). I ultimately knew I still wanted to learn web development, but I didn’t really know how. I had three friends who had gone through a coding bootcamp and recommended it to me. Even though it meant quitting my job and moving across the country, I ended up applying and getting accepted to the three-month immersive web development course. Their curriculum covered computer science fundamentals and modern day web frameworks: that practical deep dive I think I had been missing.

Tell us about a favorite project you’ve worked on. My favorite project I’ve worked on has still got to be my thesis project from my bootcamp days. it’s a fun and whimsical little web app called Dateworthy. It was a group project with my closest peers and I’ve never experienced a better team dynamic than the one we had working on the project.

Were you always interested in tech? What sparked your interest? I’d like to think I’ve always had a knack for technical things, but at the heart of it, I just really enjoy making things. It helps that I’m curious about a lot of things and the way they work—it was that curiosity that caused me to stumble over website source code in the first place! I’ve loved websites since I was in middle school (early 2000s), and I first got started “coding” HTML and markup from copying and pasting the source code of websites I liked and trying to replicate them.

Do you have any advice for people who are considering learning to code and might have some apprehension? Just do it. Go at your own pace. Don’t judge yourself for being slower than someone else you know. It’s not a race! It took me seven years to get to a place where I actually felt like I knew enough to “deserve” to feel like I knew what was going on, and I realized all of that was just in my own head.

What do you do outside of work? I’m very interested in financial literacy and run a blog about personal finance. There’s something very human about how we think about money and livelihood, and I love exploring that. I’ve also gotten really into rock climbing in the past couple years. It’s technical yet requires grace and movement. It’s a constant confrontation of you and your limitations. I just love it—it’s a really beautiful sport, and a really great non-traditional way of working out!

How would you describe your work/life balance? I feel really lucky that my company values work/life balance! My job is pretty flexible with hours and I generally come in around 9:30 a.m. and leave between 6:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.

Sydney Shackelford, age 47, Northern, New Jersey

What do you do and where do you work? My wife and I have a small software company where we both write custom software for small businesses.

How did you learn to code? I initially self-taught in BASIC at age 12 and then later learned more advanced programming in college at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. I started in Electrical Computer Engineering with Fortran then switched to Computer Science where I learned Pascal, C, C++ and LISP. I learned database programming while working at the College of Education on Campus maintaining the inventory of audio visual equipment. Interestingly, the database software I wrote there in 1989 is still in use today! I’m always learning new languages—which is easy once you understand core programming.

Did you start out your career as a coder? I did start out as a coder. During my summers in college, I learned about logistics and the information technology working for my stepfather’s trucking company, and eventually wrote some simple helper applications in a FileMaker database that his mainframe system at the time couldn’t do.

My career started first in databases but then mostly in multimedia and what was called “edutainment” in the 1990’s. These were products like “Learn To Speak Spanish” and Berlitz software for learning a foreign language.

Now, I find myself combining technologies like Java and PHP/MySQL with FileMaker, and I feel like what I do is a combination of my database, logistics, and multimedia experience.

Tell us about a favorite project you’ve worked on. I’ve had a lot of favorites—from the “Learn To Speak” series I worked on at The Learning Company to a interactive multimedia safety project I worked on with CSX Railroad, but my current favorite is our logistics application that my wife and I wrote. It’s called LMX (Logistics Management eXchange) and it’s constantly growing and getting better as time goes on.

Were you always interested in tech? What sparked your interest? I’ve always been interested in tech. I’ve always wanted to know how things work. At eight years old I took apart a cassette player to figure out how it worked and put it back together again. (Surprisingly, it still worked afterwards.)

I was especially interested in anything electronic or electrical. When I discovered computers in the 6th grade on an Apple II+, I was hooked.

Do you have any advice for people who are considering learning to code and might have some apprehension? The best way to learn to dig in and play. There are wonderful online courses and videos on Youtube that are great for getting started. These resources online can help you learn PHP, JAVA, and MySQL, which are all open source software that is free but extremely powerful. Downloading and installing any flavor of Linux (also open source) is a great way to start to understand how things work under the hood.

What do you do outside of work? I’m a transgender advocate and participate on several committees advocating transgender health. I enjoy spending time with my wife and our two cats and recently have been doing some acting on the side. I also enjoy movies, cooking and shopping.

How would you describe your work/life balance? I tend to work a lot even on weekends, but I integrate some work with things I enjoy, like building a computer or putting in a VoiP phone system in to home/office. Just last week I hacked the in-dash stereo unit on my car that runs Android and put Waze on it so that I don’t have to plug my phone it to use Navigation. (Plus, I prefer Waze over Apple Maps.)

PHP MYSQL: An important platform for web application development

Two decades ago, ‘PHP’ started out as a small open source project and today has evolved into a major scripting language. ‘PHP MySQL’ is now widely used for developing complex web applications. Here are some of the major advantages of using the PHP platform:

·         Easy to develop websites with interactive dynamic content as well as user-friendly.

·         PHP is fairly easy to learn and with PHP Model View Controller (MVC) framework is now available to develop, manage and maintain complex web applications.

·         LAMP, XAMPP are some of the better options to deploy the applications quickly & cost effectively.

·         PHP is compatible with all major web server platforms and web browsers.

·         PHP website development software can be easily embedded into an HTML file.

MetaSys Software has experienced PHP, MySQL developers who can help you with your requirements. Customers expect speed and often bounce rate goes up when websites load slowly. This can be effectively handled by experienced PHP developers at MetaSys. Our developers also use the  CakePHP Framework which speeds up the development process.

At MetaSys we offer PHP based web application development using MySQL and/or FileMaker as backend for multi-tier architectural solution. With FileMaker PHP API it is quick to extend existing FileMaker solution to web. A PHP MySQL being completely open source is a ccost-effectivecombination and allows you to develop a solution customized to your business needs.

What’s new in FileMaker 16?

FileMaker 16 will change the way how custom apps are built. The new version provides ample scope for the professional developers to try out new features. It also offers a lot of educational content in order to help the developers.

So what’s new in FileMaker 16? Some of the most important features in this platform are:

Better support with iBeacons – FileMaker 16 automatically looks for known beacons and it can also be used to setup geofences. In the earlier version, one had to actively scan them.

Login via multiple platforms – Historically, FileMaker allowed single sign-on authentication through Windows or Mac OS X. Now it is possible to log in to FileMaker through Google, Amazon or Microsoft Azure. FileMaker 16 supports ‘OAuth’ which allows integration with external cloud authentication providers.

Support for JSON – FileMaker 16 allows accessing JSON in FileMaker. This will help in sharing of data from non – FileMaker sites. It solves the major problem of passing data from different sources to FileMaker. The new version is trying to move closer towards the objective of reaching out to a phase wherein it will be easily possible for FileMaker to connect with other services and vice versa.

Look and feel – The new version of FileMaker allows single-document interface model which liberates itself from the application frame. This makes the app look as a part of Windows 10 platform.Another feature is ‘Card window’ which is basically without a window frame and a menu bar giving a more browser like experience.

Usability –All document Windows are independent of one another hence they can be placed anywhere on the monitor. There is information about all the functions available in the Specify Calculation Dialog Box. This box provides information about the specific function. Copy pasting value lists with standard keyboard functions in FileMaker Pro is now possible.

Lock icons – You can view the encryption information about your connection and host by clicking on the lock icon.

Improved layout Objects Window – With FileMaker 16, you can easily select, hide or name objects that are present on the current layout.

Scripting – You can run a specified script when an Ios device enters a specific region. One can also open the Launch Center for opening, creating and managing FileMaker applications. Some other scripting changes are:

The zoom and volume settings for video can be changed.

You can provide animations when users switch or move across layouts helping the user to visually orient himself which further enriches the mobile user experience.

An enhanced signature capture using transitions provides a great user experience.

With the Print Now function one can create PDFs in the web browser.

MetaSys Software develops custom applications using Dot Net, PHP-MySQL, and FileMaker Pro. We have a team of Certified FileMaker developers with over 12 years of experience building FileMaker applications.

As a FileMaker Business Alliance Member, we are also authorized resellers of FileMaker licenses. If you are looking to buy any of the FileMaker licenses then please click here.

Security Testing

With the onset of the digital age a few clicks have replaced many day to day activities -like going to a bank for transferring funds or going to a store to buy a dress or going to a cinema hall to buy tickets for your favourite blockbuster movie. All these can now be accomplished with a single click on a plethora of devices.

To stay in the game, businesses have to move into the digital world. With this arises the need to make sure that their web applications, e commerce sites, banking applications are safe, secure and not vulnerable to being attacked by hackers friendly or otherwise.  

Security testing plays a key role here; by helping an organization to identify vulnerabilities to any kind of security attacks. Thereafter corrective measures can be taken to address the gaps in security. Security testing is a type of testing to check whether an information system protects data from outsiders, unwanted intruders and maintains functionality as it was intended. 

Basic aspects that a system must comply and adhere to are :

· Authentication:  Only valid users are allowed to enter/login the system.

· Authorization: Only valid users are able to access the content or information they are trying to access.For example - In a company; employee, manager, administrator will have different access rights based on their role.

· Availability: The software application should always be running so that information and services are available whenever needed.

· Confidentiality: Here information and services is only shown when requested and that too only to the intended users.

For example, employees financial information will be available only to the concerned finance team/head not everyone.

· Integrity: This means that information is right  and up to date

In Security Testing the Tester must design tests to cover all the above mentioned aspects.

Types of Security Testing

· Vulnerability scanning: Here the entire system under test is scanned to find loopholes and vulnerable signatures

· Penetration testing: Here the tester has to think like a hacker to destroy the system and is a sort of simulated hacker attack on the system from the outside

· Ethical hacking: Attacking the system from within to find out security flaws is Ethical hacking

Process Steps

 · Risk assessment: All the above tests are conducted and the flaws and vulnerabilities are identified. These risks are then classified as High, Medium and Low depending on certain aspects.

·  Fix the Issues: The issues are studied in detail and then fixed by the development team with high Risk items given a higher priority.

· Security Review: The entire cycle of testing and assessment is repeated. The frequency is determined by the organisation based on the type of business and their perceived vulnerability to attacks. There is also a periodic review to check whether the security standards have been implemented properly. With the increased sophistication of hacker attacks it is essential that security standards are upgraded to deal with the latest threats.

What do Security Testers need to test?

Some very basic guidelines in ensuring whether an application is secured or not are:

·         Passwords are always in encrypted form.

·         Browser back-forward buttons do not break the secure login process.

·         An unauthorized user is not able to access pages he is not authorized for Sessions should time out after a specific time when a user is not active.

·         Invalid content should not get uploaded and should be disallowed.

·         Test with random data which is included in requests.

·         Test using random data which is included as parameters.

·         Test using encoded random data included as parameters.

 Website Security Testing tools in the market:

There are a variety of security testing tools available in the market. A few of these are listed as below:

·         Vega

·         ZAP (ZED Attack Proxy)

·         Wapiti

·         BeEF (Browser Exploitation Framework)

·         Google Nogotofail 

·         NTOSpider

·         Brakeman

·         SiteDigger

·         NMap (Network mapper)

·         OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project)

Security testing must be started at an early stage to minimize defects and costs of maintaining the quality. It is a good practice to understand the security requirements for an application at the time of requirement gathering, this ensures that quality and security of the end product will be appropriate to the business need.

Security should be an integral part of software application and is an important factor in winning customers trust and confidence.
