JSL to suppress "Download Data Completed" notification on HTTP Request

Michael_MXAK — Tue, 07 Oct 2025 16:09:28 GMT

I am using `New HTTP Request` to paginate through a RESTful API. I expect many pages and have a fairly small page size limit, so I've written code to load the pages in chunks. My issue is that this loop requires occasional user interaction due to a pop-up reading "Download data completed.":

This doesn't always happen, and I haven't been able to divine why it only sometimes occurs. Even with a consistent page size, some pages will require the user clicks OK and some won't, which is annoying because it's a long-running process to load everything. Is there a way to suppress this? We're running JMP 18.

I'm not sure if using

Batch Interactive(1)

would work for that. Just remember to return it back to with

batch interactive(0);

after all the downloads have been completed

Thanks for the tip! I can't find this in the scripting index, would it be used like:

Batch Interactive(1);
for(i=1, i<=n_pages, i++,
    load_page_stuff_here();
);
Batch Interactive(0);

I found it laid out as stated in the JSL Syntax Reference, trying it now.

Seems like it's working! I think! I'm deploying it to users and will see if anyone reports the issue persists. Thank you!

I think you can find a note in the log window with the same words from the suppressed dialog when it works.

This is simple demonstration how JMP Alert is suppressed

Names Default To Here(1);

Batch Interactive(1);
Throw("This is a test");
Batch Interactive(0); // won't execute as Throw stops the script
Show("Here!");

Compared to this

Names Default To Here(1);

Batch Interactive(0);
Throw("This is a test");

The message which was suppressed will be visible in the log (like Craige noted) but I'm not sure if it can be captured. At least with Throw() (might be different in other cases) Log Capture() will allow the script to continue execution for some reason

Names Default To Here(1);

Batch Interactive(1);
lc = Log Capture(
	Throw("This is a test");
);
Batch Interactive(0); // won't execute as Throw stops the script
Show("Here!");
Show(lc);

So,
a) Log Capture() "steals" the response from the log

b) JMP assumes the user handles the issue and doesn't trigger the stop.

Looks like it!
