Who is using WAB for Developers v2.2 to Edit Related Records?

RyanNosek — Wed, 09 Nov 2016 21:58:59 GMT

Is anyone successfully using WAB for developers to edit related records? If so, please respond to this post!

The reason I ask - I just went through my WAB 2.2 updates from 2.1, and not only will the Edit widget not work with my related tables ( 1 to many, etc.), but my app's don't even recognize any relationships that are set up (as in not even for viewing related records).

To make sure I'm not crazy (which, a day after the election i might be..), I tested both of these same web maps with the hosted version of Web AppBuilder via ArcGIS Online - and editing related records worked flawlessly (which goes without saying that it recognized my relationship classes/tables as well).

Really hoping i'm making a silly, minor mistake.

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Ryan,

Have you tried creating a new 2.2 app and testing one that has not been upgraded?

Robert -

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I did do exactly that... And I even deleted my first installation of WAB 2.2 since I did indeed try upgrading an app into 2.2 to initially try using the editing related functionality.

Even with a brand new install (and I've even gone out to esri's website to download again), I'm still getting same behavior. My next attempt is to install WAB 2.2 in an entirely different location on my computer.

Any other thoughts? Is it working as expected for you?

Ryan,

I don't work with related data or editing it so I could not say.

I've also tried exporting the correctly working AGO hosted WAB version, then imported into WAB for Dev 2.2, and did not work. hmm

Ryan,

What does your web console say?

Re: Who is using WAB for Developers v2.2 to Edit Related Records?

Nothing of note, in my opinion. No errors, just 18 warnings for loading mixed content (png's used for symbology in the webmap).

After Load Config, I am returning a message, not defined as an Error in the Console, except in the way that the messages are written:

dojo.io.script error Error: You do not have permission to access this resource or perform this operation. init.js:880

This message repeats four times after Load config, but is also present in the console when running the correctly working WAB app hosted in AGO.

Sound like a need for a proxy.

Re: Who is using WAB for Developers v2.2 to Edit Related Records?

RyanNosek — Thu, 10 Nov 2016 15:38:31 GMT

Yeah not sure that is the problem either. I downloaded the correctly working WAB version from AGO, and instead of uploading to my WAB developer version, I just hosted on my local web server and production servers, and it worked just fine! I did not set up a proxy.

Which leads me to believe it's something with WAB for Dev version 2.2, which I thought was suppose to support editing related tables?

dlaw-esristaff‌ do you know of any special considerations when trying to get this functionality to work in WAB for developers? Curious if anyone else has reported experiencing this same issue?

What is the relationship? is this a 1:M (Feature to table) ?

Does the browser F12 show any errors when you open the edit window?

Re: Who is using WAB for Developers v2.2 to Edit Related Records?

RyanNosek — Thu, 10 Nov 2016 18:44:22 GMT

See my earlier reply to Robert about messages in the console - no errors are returned, just warnings.

It is a feature class to table, 1 to many relationship.

Hi Ryan,

There are no special considerations to get this functionality working in Web AppBuilder Developer Edition as far as I know. And there have not been any technical issues reported on this functionality by other users.

Please open an incident with Esri Tech Support so they can investigate further and possibly get some repro steps.

Hope this helps,

Thanks for the response Derek.

I think I've come across my issue - it seems to be related to the https connection that my WAB for Developers site is opening on by default.

For any exported apps (and apps still within the WAB for dev site prior to exporting), if it trys to connect on https, related tables and editing related tables do not work. If it connects on http, everything works as expected.

I haven't looked into it extensively yet, but is there a way to force WAB for Dev site to connect over http instead of https?

Regardless, could this be a proxy related fix like Robert mentioned, even though the site works as expected over http?

Thanks for the help everyone!

-Ryan

Ryan,

WAB Dev forces https if you used an https url for your portal when you first started WAB Dev and it asked for your portal url. To fix this you delete the signininfo.json file from the server folder and restart WAB dev and when it asks for you portal url you give it a http address this time.

Brilliant! That did it with the signin.json. Indeed my site was initially connecting https. Many thanks Robert for posting your suggested fix
