Goal:
To read with an API and then write updates to a different API through a schedule on the gateway.
Problem:
Script will run in the script console but does not complete past the API in the Scheduled Gateway Event.
Script Console:
Code Block:
Results:
Gateway Event - Scheduled
Script

Please post code - not pictures of code (unless the context is important, in which case post both) so we can copy them for testing or modification. Please see Wiki - how to post code on this forum .

Don't logger.error("some error" + str(e) - you lose the except trackback and cause information, the most valuable part.
Use logger.error("Some error", e), so that the exception goes through the automatic logging machinery and captures the stacktrace.

Additionally, stuff this script into a Project Library Script and put the initialization of the httpClient outside of any function definitions so you can reuse the same client instead of spawning a new one every time the function runs.
Something along the lines of:
import json
logger = system.util.getLogger("SmartSheetUpdate")
SHEET_HEADERS = {}
SHEET_URL = "https://some url here"
sheetClient = system.net.httpClient()
def abc(payload):
""" """
response = sheetClient.get(url=SHEET_URL, headers=SHEET_HEADERS)

@system.util.runInGateway
def abc(payload):

(Designer scope is a variant of Vision Client scope--not related to Gateway Scope at all.)

Automation Professionals is pleased to announce the immediately availability of a major upgrade to its free Simulation Aids Integration Toolkit module. The new feature justifying the "major upgrade" language is the implementation of eleven thirty-one new expression functions which use iteration to accomplish complex transforms of datasets and lists, to or from other datasets and lists, applying filtering, ordering, and computed new columns along the way. While there are certain operations that…
And then to my Module Sales page. (But this one is free.)
