JiwaImportQManager issues after upgrading to 7.1.0

[JohnO]

I recently upgraded from 7.0.175 and am having problems with the ImportQManager.

I have read the guides but I must not have converted the code correctly because I cannot get XML to import through the ImportQManager without an exception.

Jiwa version 7.1.0, VB.NET, SQL Server 2008

This is the working code for version 7.0.175:

Code: Select all

Manager.Instance.Logon("Path", "DB", JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaODBC.database.AuthenticationModes.JiwaAuthentication, "Username", "Password")
Dim importQueueManager As JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaImportQManager.ImportQueueItemCollection = JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.Manager.Instance.BusinessLogicFactory.CreateBusinessLogic(Of JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaImportQManager.ImportQueueItemCollection)(Nothing)

Dim queueItem As New JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaImportQManager.ImportQueueItem
queueItem.TransformedXML = xmlDocString
queueItem.Status = JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaImportQManager.ImportQueueItem.ImportQueueItemStatuses.ReadyForImport
importQueueManager.Add(queueItem)
queueItem.Process()


Converted code for version 7.1.0 that throws the exception below:

Code: Select all

Dim man As New JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.Manager
man.Logon("Path", "DB", JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaODBC.database.AuthenticationModes.JiwaAuthentication, "Username", "Password")
Dim importQueueManager As JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaImportQManager.ImportQueueItemCollection = man.BusinessLogicFactory.CreateBusinessLogic(Of JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaImportQManager.ImportQueueItemCollection)(Nothing)

Dim queueItem As New JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaImportQManager.ImportQueueItem
queueItem.TransformedXML = xmlDocString
queueItem.Status = JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaImportQManager.ImportQueueItem.ImportQueueItemStatuses.ReadyForImport
importQueueManager.Add(queueItem)
queueItem.Process()


This is the exception I am getting:

Code: Select all

Type : System.NullReferenceException
Message : Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Stacktrace :
   at JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaImportQManager.ImportQueueItem.iSave()
   at JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaImportQManager.ImportQueueItem.Process()
   at kickOffImport(String xmlDocString)

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi JohnO,

This will cause your issue:

Code: Select all

Dim queueItem As New JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaImportQManager.ImportQueueItem

in version 7.1 and later we require you to use our factories to create entities, collections and collection items - in this case the ImportQueueItem is a class inheriting from JiwaCollectionItem, so you should use our CollectionItemFactory to create an instance of that class:

Code: Select all

Dim queueItem As JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaImportQManager.ImportQueueItem = man.CollectionItemFactory.CreateCollectionItem(Of JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaImportQManager.ImportQueueItem)()
