What should I use for string compare?

string uses equalto. is would be for select fields

oh ok good to know. Guess I have to change some stuff

hmm this is weird it seems to fail now...

shit now I have a timing issue...

client side? or server side?

server side

I am still running an update where my external system is already done processing and trying to report status change back...

on a restlet there is no sleep method is there?

no, there is not

so I guess using an expesnive search as artifical delay until it matches what I expect would be my best option?

creative approach simple smile

my sympathies to the poor guy who needs to maintain it down the road 😆

Or i need to redesign a lot more...

E.g.

combobox<ItemViewModel<*>> {
  items = listOf(ItemViewModel("One"), ItemViewModel("Two")).observable()
  cellFormat { text = it.item.toString() }
  value = items[0]
  setOnAction { println(selectionModel.selectedItem) } // debug: show real object
}

@fkrauthan Can you give an overview of what you're doing? You said something about an external system and a restlet. How, what, etc.....

well I have a custom record for each Bill. when I do an operation a send multiple bills to my backend and get an ID back. Now I need to update each custom record for each bill with that id. When I get an update on my backend I send that unique ID to a a restlet and need to lookup all bills with that ID

unfortunately my backend is a lot faster processing then netsuite is updating the records with that ID

So while one part of Netsuite is still populating the ID my restlet tries to find all records with that ID to update them

It does not really matter, you backend does a request to your reslet and you send a response back with data...

my problem is my restlet can not find all records

Are sending back all records you found to your backend?

Flow 1) User selects Bills clicks transmit, Map Reduce packs all Bills and send to my backend and gets an ID back, Map Reduce Updates all bills with that unique ID

Flow 2) My Backend calls restlet with an update when processing is done (including that unique ID), Restlet tries to find all bills with that unique id

can the backend sleep?

(un)fortunately my backend is faster processing so I get an status update back before the Flow 1 is fully finished updating all bills with the unique id

Flow 2 have to replay something back?

@jkabot for how long? Its not like there is a guaranteed time

if not, offload that to another workflow and reply back ok... done...
