HASH ref ERROR when running platform API example TakeActionFromFixlet.pl

Before running TakeActionFromFixlet.pl, the fixlet ID and Site ID have been acquired by Session Relevance.

When running TakeActionFromFixlet.pl, such error shows:

Can’t use string (“2147499519”) as a HASH ref while “strict refs” in use at C:/T

EM/TEMWrapper/BESAPI.pm line 28.

The error is for the code in TakeActionFromFixlet.pl:

my $siteID =

2147499519

; # ID of the site where the Fixlet resides

my $fixletID = 3041; # ID of the Fixlet # Run GTS TSCM Evaluator on SCM511_ITCS104v8_WIN2K8 (3041)

my $action = 0;

BESAPI::CheckSigningKeys( $dsn, $username, $password, $privateKey );

my $fixlet = BESAPI::FixletMessage( $siteID, $fixletID, $username, $password );

The code in BESAPI.pm is like this:

my $besAPIObject = $self->{object};

Here I hope to get your help to fix this problem. Thanks a lot!

P.S. the code is attached

It looks to me like the problem is that the version of BESAPI.pm you are using doesn’t have a FixletMessage method defined.

If that is correct, the error you are seeing would make sense – in the absence of an explicit FixletMessage method, the AUTOLOAD is being invoked and is attempting to use the first supplied argument, $siteID, as the $self reference, and then generating an error when it turns out that it is the wrong type.

On the Platform API Examples wiki page, you can find a copy of BESAPI.pm that should include the method you are trying to use:

Hope that helps…

cheers,
