Kill service

If you try to stop a AOS service but if gets stuck trying to stop you can kill it with the taskkill command.

Open up the command prompt. And use SC which is a command line program used for services.

Run SC with the commands queryex AOSNAME$NN to find out the PID for the service: SC QueryEx AOS60$01.

Then run TaskKill using the PID and F parameter to force the service manager to shut down the service: TaskKill /PID XXXX /F

ExtendedBy

Whenever you want to find out what classes that extend a base class, there is this nice method for the DictClass called extendedBy. This could be used when you have different classes for different cases, all extending from a base class, and you want to have a switch call the correct class based on some value of a record. One place where this is used in standard is for checking what payment methods are available to list them in a form. In short the code used looks like this

 

    DictClass               dictClass;
    CustInPaym              custInPaym;    
    
    List                    listCustInPaym;
    ListEnumerator          listEnumerator;
    
    container               imports;
    container               importNames;
    
    listCustInPaym              = new DictClass(classnum(CustInPaym)).extendedBy();
    
    listEnumerator = listCustInPaym.getEnumerator();
    while (listEnumerator.moveNext())
    {       
        dictClass = new DictClass(listEnumerator.current());
        if (dictClass && !dictClass.isAbstract())
        {
            custInPaym = dictClass.makeObject();
            if (custInPaym.interfaceName() && CustVendPaymFormatCtrl::checkConfigurationKey(custInPaym))
            {
                imports     += dictClass.id();
                importNames += custInPaym.interfaceName();                
            }
        }
    }
