Hi,
I am hoping someone can help me with this issue with the File Watcher Plugin.
Basically I am trying to get the File Watcher to send an email notification when a file fails to import. I have setup the email and am able to send emails fine thru the Email Maintenance form.

I have uncommented the appropriate lines of code in the File Watcher Plugin but am getting an error when compiling. I am getting an error of 'Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'CreateBusinessLogic' accepts this number of arguments' on line 728 which is the line of code:
Dim email As JiwaApplication.JiwaEmail.EmailMessage = JiwaApplication.BusinessLogicFactory.Instance.CreateBusinessLogic(Of JiwaApplication.JiwaEmail.EmailMessage)

Any help?

Below is that section of code from the plugin:

Code: Select all

         Catch ex As System.Exception
            ' Move to failed folder
            System.IO.File.Move(pendingFileNameAndPath, Path.Combine(Me.FailedFolder, System.IO.Path.GetFileName(pendingFileNameAndPath)))
            LogToEventLog(String.Format("Failed to import File '{0}' - Error: {1}", FullPath, ex.Message), System.Diagnostics.EventLogEntryType.Error)
            
            Dim email As JiwaApplication.JiwaEmail.EmailMessage = JiwaApplication.BusinessLogicFactory.Instance.CreateBusinessLogic(Of JiwaApplication.JiwaEmail.EmailMessage)
            email.SystemSettings.UseOutlookForEmail = False ' Cannot use outlook from within a Windows Service - make sure your other system settings like SMTP server are configured.
            email.CreateNew()
            email.EmailTo = "daniel@***.com.au"
            email.EmailSubject = "PO7 File Import Failed"
            email.EmailBody = String.Format("Document '{0}' failed to import - error message is '{1}'", pendingFileNameAndPath, ex.Message)
            email.Save()
         End Try      

The method of instantiating business logic via the factory has changed since the File Watcher plugin was written. Change the line:

Code: Select all

Dim email As JiwaApplication.JiwaEmail.EmailMessage = JiwaApplication.BusinessLogicFactory.Instance.CreateBusinessLogic(Of JiwaApplication.JiwaEmail.EmailMessage)

to:

Code: Select all

Dim email As JiwaApplication.JiwaEmail.EmailMessage = JiwaApplication.BusinessLogicFactory.Instance.CreateBusinessLogic(Of JiwaApplication.JiwaEmail.EmailMessage)(Nothing)

Edit:

The parameter we are passing as "Nothing" is for when a UI is attached to the business logic, since the file watcher has no UI, we can pass "Nothing" to the factory.

Hi Scott,
Thanks for the help, I actually tried adding the (Nothing) after searching thru some old threads, but the email still didnt send when a file failed to upload and was moved to the 'failed' folder (the plugin did compile though).
So now that I have added the (Nothing) it still does not seem to create the email, have you got any ideas on how to test the email functionality? I presume it is supposed to create a new email in the Email Maintenance area on fail yeah (which at this point it does not)?

Hmmm. The emailing engine was also changed since that plugin was written.

Which email plugin are you using?

Go to Jiwa->System Settings->Plugins->Plugin Maintenance, and then look at which out of the following plugins are enabled:

Email - Configuration Office365 REST
Email - Configuration Outlook
Email - Configuration SMTP

Post back here which are enabled (if there are more than 1 of the above enabled, that's a problem, so check each).

Well this is very embarrassing to say! We have two File Watcher plugins installed and I was editing the unactive one, hence why nothing was coming thru.
Sorry about that Scott, thanks for all the help!

No worries. Glad to hear it worked out!
