Neat! So you are using restful API calls directly to the Open-AI dev api stack?!? nevertheless pretty neat.

you can pass commandline parameters to omnis.exe and collect them via sys(202)

Have a look at https://developer.omnis.net/onlinedocs/Programming/01omnistools.html#auto-updates
You can use the update.sh/bat file to copy over new XCOMPS or externals.

Hi Luigi,
If you are trying to pass in command line parameters into omnis then yes. Call the omnis.exe with a few parameters and in your code you can use sys(202) to get access to those parameters you passed in through the command line.

Hey there,

As @andreas-pfeiffer said, try and follow that chapter 7, its critical that you understand how the Omnis Studio JS client-server architecture works.

The critical things to look out for are…

1. The Server Configuration File that governs the runtime environment so that its capable of receiving the connections and managing them properly.

2. <b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; color: var(–bb-body-text-color);”>Server Logging, ensure you’ve got this covered. Very helpful in debugging.

3. Then I’d jump straight to, <b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; color: var(–bb-body-text-color);”>Setting Up Your Web Server, go through most of this as its relevant. Its also here you’ll find the link to the tech note article, the one you’ve already linked and visited.

4. Windows Firewall, this will be something to watch, please ensure that you open up the Omnis Studio Web Server Port(s) that you’ve configured, as well as IIS ports through the firewall, allow for localhost, local Lan and WAN.

5. Finally, its time to test, as the tech note’s last line says, time to try the URL, I’d suggest try that from these perspectives…
a. http://127.0.0.1/myform.htm (localhost URL)
b. http://192.168.1.157/myform.htm (your computer’s lan IP)
c. [OPTIONAL] http://_WAN_IP_HERE_/myform.htm (your computer’s internet facing IP)
d. [OPTIONAL] http://_public_URL_/myform.htm (your website’s public URL)

Now, when OR if you encounter any issues, you can check these things…

1. Windows firewall logs

2. IIS logs

3. Omnis Studio Web Server logs

Oh! a simple test, try and see if you can always ping your server/computer from the 2nd device you are trying to test, if you can’t then theres a fundamental networking issue that you’ll need to address before you even look at any of the abovementioned logs. 🙂

Hope that makes sense…

You can always report back here and ask @andreas-pfeiffer

if you run into any issues or if I am around I’ll post back too.

Good luck!

Thanks Andreas. Had a quick look at this component, it seems that it can be used as an LDAP querying tool and based on how we formulate the LDAP Queries we can sort-of implement an RBAC. This though isn’t quite what I was referring to, IWA or WIA or SSO uses the security principals and AD to authenticate the user. Furthermore this can be accessed via the desktop layer but leaves the IIS or web-based authentication out. I hope this helps explain my point.
