Completed Custom Pipeline
|
|
| cgruber 2005-09-07, 8:51 pm |
| Does anyone have a "fleshed out" example of Pipeline Component in C#.
The example in MSDN doesn't really show much. I am interested in the
parameters coming in and the return values. They are mostly just
objects. What should they be really? What should they be cast to?
What type of object should I really return?
I am specifically designing a new pipeline to do custom shipping using
UPS's Rate Checking online service. A completed pipeline component
would help me out tremendoesly to use as a better template than what
Microsoft provides on their MSDN site.
As of now I am modifying the sample MinMaxShipCSharp.cs file found
at:
C:\program files\Microsoft Commerce Server 2002\SDK\Samples\Order
Processing\MinMaxShip\CSharp\MinMaxShipC
Sharp.cs
It appears that many of the fields I will need to send to UPS are in
the dictionary, but it looks like Weight may not be. Any ideas on
how to get this in there easily?
Thanks!
Chris

| Hi Chris,
The pipeline Components reference the COM+ Interfaces and not the .Net
objects. So refer to the COM/Interop section of the programmers guide and
reference the objects accordingly.
The "weight" property comes from the catalog where is a product level
property and should be defined as a "numeric" or "decimal" type. This is
loaded by the product properties component in the pipeline and is accessible
as lineitem._product_weight or something like that.

| You'll need to extend you catalog schema to include the weight field. This filed will contain the weight for each product. QCI component populates all the product properties from the catalog system into the items
dictioanry. This you can access easily in your pipeline component.

| Thanks for your help guys. Unfortunatly I can't even get that far.
I'm using the MinMaxCSharp component in the SDK and modifying it to
add up shipping weight instead of cost.
However this line is giving me trouble
// retrieve the shipments that must be processed
ShipmentsToProcess =
(ISimpleList)Context[ShipmentsToProcessKey];
I got it to throw this exception to the log:
> PIPELINE:-- component [0x4] returned hr: 0x80131500, IErrorLevel=4
in 187 milliseconds
> Error Description: Component Execution failed for component[0x4]
hr: 0x80131500
> ProgID: Commerce.UPSShipping
> Specified cast is not valid.
> PIPELINE:-- 2005/09/14 11:12:43.0968 Pipeline Execution completed

>

This is the source shipped with Commerce Server in the SDK, I would
think that it would compile and run at least...
If I can't cast it to an ISimpleList, what are my other options?
Thanks,
Chris

| Hi cgruber,
1. the key is "ShipmentToProcess" and not "ShipmentToProcessKey".
2. This is an INTEGER  (and part of the context - Correct)
3. This is an index into the shipments list which is a list of lists
4. shipments is available on OrderForm.
Actually if you go through the CS Help File you'd be able to identify all
these keys & their heirarchy.

| Thanks Ravi,
I'm getting sidetracked with another project right now, I should be
back to this in less than 2 weeks. I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks again,
Chris

| Looking back at this real quick, I believe I have had the correct key
in here:
private const String ShipmentsToProcessKey =
"shipments_to_process";
...
ShipmentsToProcess = (ISimpleList)
Context[ShipmentsToProcessKey];
If this still doesn't look right, let me know.

| One thing you can do
1. Open the property definition "weight" and check the Assign to all
Product Types checkbox. This way the property will get added to all
existing product definitions and newly created definitions. If the property
does not exist then create a property named "weight" of type decimal and
check the Assign to all Product Types checkbox
Thanks

| OK. I got this worked out without creating a custom pipeline
component.
I followed MS's steps for implementing the MinMaxShip.
After I got it working with the site, I went in and changed it to work
with what we were trying to do: Calculate shipping based on what
UPS's XML services calculates it to be (based upon weight, origin,
destination, shipping service, etc)
I changed the MinMax.asp file to take in UPS Shipping Service code
instead of the 'Floor' field and also changed the 'Percentage' field
to be what percentage of the shipping to charge as the handling fee.
Everything is working great with it. If you are trying to do
something similar, email me and I will send you the code I have and
save you some time. cgruber50@aol.com
Thanks everyone for all your help with this!

| There is a similar component posted on the GotDotNet workspace. Feel free
to contribute the code there in terms of making it available.

| Thanks Colin!
I uploaded what I had... careful, there isnt much error checking or
data integrity checks, but it will "Git R' Done"
