Often, for a variety of reasons, it is decided to develop SOAP services for consumption by third parties. So far so good. Its implementation is quite simple in OutSystems. However, sometimes, we are forced to obtain values from headers submitted in requests. How to do this? In a very simple…

Sometimes, in the world of programming, we come across file transfers between Windows-based systems and Linux-based systems. As a rule, modern systems are able to deal with differences and adjust small formatting details. However, when we come across old legacy systems without this capability, we can run into problems. One of the…

When we are thinking of developing mobile applications, what are the design considerations? Basically, these are points to be considered when we develop applications that will run on smaller devices with different architecture and operating systems than our computers. Furthermore, we must understand that they are applications that are installed…

When creating our CreateOrUpdates, we must think carefully about the most balanced solution that best meets our needs. What follows are just some ideas of what you can follow so you can understand small nuances that can improve our actions and why. 1. Do not expose the record type of…

Sometimes we come across cases where the code for a certain concept was developed within a module in which it does not make sense. Furthermore, we also find cases of modules that already have their code properly isolated, but, however, are found within applications outside their context, causing them, becoming…

One of the most common ways to interconnect several systems in a simple and uniform way is through REST services. Therefore, it is necessary, nowadays, to provide and consume these so-called services in a simple and robust way. That’s what we’re going to focus on next. REST services — Consume …

What is Service Center? One of our best friends when it comes to OutSystems (not applicable to ODC). Service Center is a management console dedicated to a given OutSystems environment. Is a very powerful tool that allows us to manage settings in OutSystems environments, monitor all events logged by the…

Although both BPTs (both light and traditional) and Timers are asynchronous tools, their purposes are not that similar. Factors such as parallelism and competition differ between the types of Processes. By default, there are 20 threads per frontend to run Light BPT Processes, 10 threads for traditional BPT Processes, and…

It is a very common scenario in software factories to find batch processes (timers) that process an extremely large volume of data, which become very time-consuming events. One of the major problems of these processes is their timeout management. This timeout, in OutSystems, is normally 20 minutes, and we find…
