What to do ?
Probably if they see a progress bar it will be better, right ? Well TIBCO Community already have a post about it. Then why this post ?
Because you need keep a few things in mind -
- I don't like code - fewer lines would have done the thing 👲
- No error stack-trace
- Some extra precautions needed.💀
Let's start. First of all, my code -
from Spotfire.Dxp.Framework.ApplicationModel import *
import traceback , time
proc=Application.GetService[ProgressService]()
def ex():
try:
# Wait for 5 seconds, Just to keep progress screen up for demo - remove from actual code
time.sleep(5)
proc.CurrentProgress.ExecuteSubtask("Refreshing Data")
Document.Data.Tables.ReloadAllData()
proc.CurrentProgress.ExecuteSubtask("Refresh is Complete")
except:
traceback.print_exc()
proc.ExecuteWithProgress("Refreshing Data Manually","Trying to refresh all Data Tables with a progress bar", ex)
Now coming back to precautions; this thing should be unchecked if you don't want to struggle with an error -
Also, please handle the exceptions wisely, using default except block may help in debug; but a well handled code brings robustness.
Regarding additional wait- do not use if you don't need it.
This is what you can expect in client -
