Selective field return on query or find

Mon, 14 May 2018 19:03:52 +0000

Is it possible to have only certain fields returned (or excluded) when doing a query or find on the nosql storage? For example, I want to get some but not all user information from an account collection, such as not retrieving the password field.

docId guaranteed unique even after deletion?

Fri, 13 Apr 2018 20:00:26 +0000

I am managing users in a collection in the nosql service, and am wondering if docId is guaranteed to be unique after deletion of a document. For example:

I query a collection and now have a docId on the client
The underlying document with that docId is deleted from the collection
A new document is inserted into the collection
The entire collection is deleted and recreated
A new document is inserted into the recreated collection

In the case of (3) or (5), is it possible the docId from (1) will be generated again by the nosql service? I need to know if docIds can be treated as GUIDs, or if I need to generate ids myself to ensure docIds can't be used to update the wrong records.

Are these AvatarService calls going to be implemented in your AIR SDK?

Thu, 15 Mar 2018 06:24:14 +0000

At least these two calls are missing from the AvatarService's AIR SDK:

createAvatarWithName()
createAvatarFromFileDataWithName()

When do you plan to implement these? Instead, I'm hijacking the createAvatarFromWebURL() and storing arbitrary info in the fields. Quite ugly.

Buddy Service Get Messages Delaying

Hi, Recent days, BuddyService.getAllMessages and getAllMessagesFromBuddy requests are delaying and usually returning with "Unexpected end of input." error. Could you please check if there is such a problem?

Something odd with getTopNRankersByDate

Fri, 03 Jun 2016 13:29:49 +0000

I'm having some troubles with getTopNRankersByDate(). Here is the scenario:

JackTrash has 3 scores recorded on a leaderboard:

470 _v3F4qaxRpcFY6M3ECDteJF7mc2Ao= (Created on 6/3)

280 _v3bbwayk6GOVw5PaLScWiisqkZZU= (Created on 6/2)

225 _v3OrvR34G9qMazm0pOArtpy10vM+I= (Created on 6/2)

If I call getTopNRankers(), I get get back the 470 score for JackTrash with the proper document attached:

"scoreList": [{

"userName": "JackTrash",

"value": 470

"createdOn": "Fri Jun 3 06:54:59 GMT-0600 2016",

"scoreId": "_v3F4qaxRpcFY6M3ECDteJF7mc2Ao=",

"jsonDocList": [{

"jsonDoc": "{\"difficulty\":\"hard\",\"_$scoreId\":\"_v3F4qaxRpcFY6M3ECDteJF7mc2Ao=\"}",

"createdAt": "Fri Jun 3 06:54:59 GMT-0600 2016",

"owner": "JackTrash",

"docId": "57517e23e4b015974824e103"

}],

}]

NOTE: I've trimmed down that response to relevant properties.

The problem comes when I'm calling getTopNRankersByDate() using a date range of the last 30 days. I get back the score of 470 but with a different score ID and hence document attached:

"scoreList": [{

"userName": "JackTrash",

"value": 470,

"createdOn": "Thu Jun 2 07:55:38 GMT-0600 2016"

"scoreId": "_v3OrvR34G9qMazm0pOArtpy10vM+I=",

"jsonDocList": [{

"jsonDoc": "{\"_$scoreId\":\"_v3OrvR34G9qMazm0pOArtpy10vM+I=\",\"difficulty\":\"normal\"}",

"createdAt": "Thu Jun 2 07:55:38 GMT-0600 2016",

"owner": "JackTrash",

"docId": "57503adae4b015974823fe8b"

}],

You can see in that response that the scoreId is for the 225 score listed above, not the 470 score that was returned.

Here is the debug output for the call by date (with apiKey obfuscated):

I tried a few variations on dates as well as removing the isAttachScoreId header - but the results are the same.

Any thoughts on what is going on here?

Thanks again for the help.

How do I get only the additional data associated with a particular score on the leaderboard?

Thu, 02 Jun 2016 14:54:21 +0000

I'm saving the game difficulty along with each score in the leaderboard:

scoreBoardService.addJSONObject(leaderboardName, {difficulty: "expert"});

scoreBoardService.saveUserScore(leaderboardName, userName, score, callback);

The game is a played a few times and userName saves a few scores to the leaderboard service with the additional data.

The problem comes when retrieving the leaderboard with these calls:

scoreBoardService.setQuery(leaderboardName, null);

scoreBoardService.getTopNRankersByDate(leaderboardName, startDate, endDate, 100, callback);

The scoreList in the JSON response looks like this:

"scoreList": [{

"facebookArrayList": null,

"createdOn": "Thu Jun 2 07:55:38 GMT-0600 2016",

"scoreId": "_v3OrvR34G9qMazm0pOArtpy10vM+I=",

"docId": null,

"userName": "JackTrash",

"value": 280,

"updatedAt": null,

"event": null,

"jsonDoc": null,

"rank": null,

"createdAt": null,

"jsonDocList": [{

"owner": "JackTrash",

"updatedAt": "Thu Jun 2 07:55:38 GMT-0600 2016",

"event": null,

"jsonDoc": "{\"difficulty\":\"normal\",\"_$scoreId\":\"_v3OrvR34G9qMazm0pOArtpy10vM+I=\"}",

"docId": "57503adae4b015974823fe8b",

"createdAt": "Thu Jun 2 07:55:38 GMT-0600 2016",

"loc": null

{

"owner": "JackTrash",

"updatedAt": "Thu Jun 2 08:07:57 GMT-0600 2016",

"event": null,

"jsonDoc": "{\"difficulty\":\"hard\",\"_$scoreId\":\"_v3bbwayk6GOVw5PaLScWiisqkZZU=\"}",

"docId": "57503dbde4b0220cfa7f2a9b",

"createdAt": "Thu Jun 2 08:07:57 GMT-0600 2016",

"loc": null

}],

"owner": null,

"loc": null

}],

My question is around the jsonDocList. It appears to contain a document for every score saved by the user JackTrash (2 in this case) - even though only one of the documents relates to the score returned by getTopNRankersByDate().

Is there a way to limit the jsonDocList to only return the document saved with that particular score?

The concern is that if my top 100 players of the game have played a 100 games each - this call to get the leaderboard is going to be HUGE - with each of the 100 players having 100 JSON docs attached to their score.

Thanks for the help!

I cannot use sessions with AS3 SDK

Thu, 21 Apr 2016 19:17:37 +0000

Dear team,

I am using AS3 SDK (latest version). I can authenticate, I can send and retrieve information but I cannot manage sessions. When I try to logout I get the error

{"app42Fault":{"httpErrorCode":401,"appErrorCode":1401,"message":"UnAuthorized Access","details":"Client is not authorized"}}

Debug:

Any suggestion why this is due? Furthermore, how can I control the users that have been authenticated and the session times? I do not understand very well how this runs.

Best regards, I appreciate very much your help.
