Hi,

How can I call a ironpython script from another script, if someone can provide an example that would be best

[Norbert Ledenyi]

Hi. This is how call an another script without parameters:

 

from Spotfire.Dxp.Application.Scripting import ScriptDefinition

from System.Collections.Generic import Dictionary

import clr

 

scriptDef = clr.Reference[scriptDefinition]()

Document.ScriptManager.TryGetScript("otherScript", scriptDef)

params = Dictionary[str, object]()

Document.ScriptManager.ExecuteScript(scriptDef.ScriptCode, params)

Hi,

Will this work if my calledscript (2nd script) has a API call in it

It doesn't look like the API call is being made. Can anyone help me with this

Thanks.

Can you give more details about what you're asking The script that's being executed by this one is in a different context I think and any API calls within it shouldn't need an additional API call in this script. At least that's how it seemed to work for me when I implemented it

Hi P.shu,

 

My Script "A" has an API call using OAUTH to load the Data. that API call is not being made when i load the Spotfire dxp file(created datafunction to trigger script when the doc property changes)   or call this script A from another script (using above code). 

 

Did this help you in understanding what i was trying to do

 

Thanks

If you run the script inside the edit window what comes up Also if not using 2.7.7 there may be limitations to the classes you can use

[Charitha Amaraneni]

If i run the script inside Edit Window, the API call is being made and Latest Data Loads. but I dont want to manually execute the Script all the time. I want the Script to get executed automatically, or through some button. I tried multiple ways, it looks like the latest data is not loaded until and unless i manually execute the script.

If i run the Script insside Window, i get the desired Data ( its not happening when i run it through Script). im using ironPython V2.7.7. Thanks
