Rajkumar_J — Wed, 17 Jun 2020 12:52:06 GMT

Hi Team,

I am exploring Qlik Replicate. In that, I need to create user defined function.

As per the user guide, i tried to create but can't able to create the user-defined function.

Could you please guide me/suggest the steps to create user-defined function in Qlik Replicate.

Please find the attached screenshot for your reference.

Looking forward for your reply.

Hi,

Its not related to users/domain.

It is related to transformation part. In the transformation layer, there are some default functions like length,timestamp etc.,

in that, we can create our own transformation code in user-defined functions.

I am not able to create that part.

Could you please suggest me in that part.

Thanks

thanks,

@Steve_Nguyen

I have tried, but in user-defined there is no functions by default.

How can we create the functions.

Do you have any referral content for that.

Hi,

Please look for the following in the user guide: User-Defined Transformations.

You will need to write an addon library with the code for the functions you want to add

@OritCuriel

I have seen the user guide, but I am not getting what could we need to do.

Because there are some code creation steps mentioned. Compile step also there.

As per the user guide i can't able to create the user defined function.

Could you please guide me on this with a sample.

If pou look under the <Replicate installation dir>\addons\samples you will find two code examples for a library that implements some functions that will be available as user defined transformations if you register these libraries as addons

@OritCuriel

I have tried with that sample codes.

I can't able to compile in visual studio code.

Well, this should not be the case, you will need to open a support ticket for that.

Hi,

were you able to create any sample function and make it visible in the user defined functions tab ? I have a similar problem even after following the steps in documentation.
Regards,

@csidda Please consider creating your own fresh topic with good specification of what you tried, compile ok? link ok? DLL available? if appropriate what the error was, and perhaps relevant chunks of code like the addons_defs.json. And of course which Replicate version / platform.

WAG - assuming you provided the appropriate addons_def.json pointing to the dll, did you restart the Replicate services?

The documentation on the UDF's is just a minimal README, but it is critical and sufficient. Read it 5 times over!

I've attached it here as .TXT just in case.

If you figured it out, please give a quick reply here with a quick hint as to perhaps a missing step. If it still does not work, please start your own topic with the relevant details.

Hein.
