How to batch update Currency Exchange Rates

Hello,

What do you mean that you want to batch update the currency exchange rates? You can find more information about currency in Rollbase User Guide: Chapter 5, Multi-Currency Support.

Thank you,

I have to update all currencies on daily basis and then I have to read this from awebservice, file etc and update many exchange-rates. I have nowlocated the setExchangeRate in the SOAP-section but is this the only way (SOAP).

Isn't there any server-side api setExchangeRate??? Is the SOAP-command the only way to do this?

Hello,

I didn't see any server-side method for setting the exchange rate but if you need to update every record of an object on a daily basis, you can use a batch job that will run daily and have this code inside.

var amount = parseFloat("{!amount#value}");

var rate = rbv_api.getExchangeRate("EUR", "USD", new Date()); /*method to get current exchange rate*/

var finalRate = rate * amount;

Hello,

Another method is to create a field in the settings page that holds the current exchange rate value. Then create a batch job that will update that exchange rate value daily by using the getExchangeRate method. After that, just create a formula field that will display the computed amount on the record so that the value is automatically updated based on the value in the settings object. I believe this is more optimized than updating all records daily. Just check if data maintenance in the batch job applies to the settings object.

This is ok, but what I want is to set the exchangerates wich you retrives with the command: rbv_api.getExchangeRate.

Why ii there no command like: rbv_api.getExchangeRate

I see a corresponding one in the SOAP-section, but this requires a external program.

Hello,

Unfortunately, there is no server-side method for setting up the exchange rates in Rollbase. However, you may post this as an Idea in the Ideas section by going thru this link https://community.progress.com/community_groups/products_enhancements/.../default.aspx
