enigmaModel accesible for a second app

IVAN-FELIPE — Sun, 20 May 2018 16:04:57 GMT

Dear colleagues

I'm trying to use enigmaModel in an extension to update some values of the currentApp and others, with limited success.

I can use the enigmaModel.engineApp methods for the current app.

But when I try to open a second app and update the same values for this new app it does not works the same way.

I'm trying this for the second app:

var config = {

host: window.location.hostname,

prefix: "/",

port: window.location.port,

isSecure: window.location.protocol === "https:",

identity: 'mymachine/administrator' (this is the services owner )

};

//THIS 2f6622a8-43e1-4207-b8c7-33d645dec81a CORRESPONDS TO A DIFFERENT APP THAN THE OPENED ONE

var newApp = qlik.openApp('2f6622a8-43e1-4207-b8c7-33d645dec81a',config);

After that I can show all the content of the second newApp, I can see in the browser console all the elements, included enigmaModel and engineApp--> console.log(newApp) Works!

But I can't use the methods included in the enigmaModel of the other app even when I open it successfully, like enigmaModel.engineApp.cloneObject

And console.log(newApp.enigmaModel) -->just shows undefined, even when the console.log(newApp) shows all the content.

Any ideas??

Thanks!!

Hi ife‌,

Most probably the synchronous openApp method didn't manage to fill the property with enigmaModel, try to wrap your code with app.model.waitForOpen.promise.then(()=>{....}

The enigma model is not exposed/ documented/supported, I strongly advise you not to use it. What are you trying to achieve? what enigmaModel API do you need?

Thanks a log Aiham, this works!

I'm working with enigmaModel.engineApp for updating global items in several apps when needed.

It was just a problem of time to refresh and your suggestion fixed it.
