Hi,
Assume an architecture where an ECP Database Server is connected to by one or more ECP Application Servers inside a firewall.The application server hosts the web application that web users connect to.
The Web servers are outside the firewall, and, (using the CSP gateway/server mechanism) issue requests over the SuperServer port and into the application server.
I know that the traffic between the Web Server and the ECP application server can be encrypted using HTTPS, and access to the CSPServer on the Application server is username/password secured.
This article is about DeepSee Listing Groups, a new DeepSee feature that was introduced in release 2015.2.
DeepSee Listings have always been a part of DeepSee. DeepSee Listing Groups provide increased flexibility by allowing you to create new DeepSee Listings without modifying the cube definition.
Hello,
is there any API available that would return an MDX query string for a given saved pivot name? I could not find anything except for pivots with manual MDX. But that's not my case, I need to get MDX for any pivot.
TIA!

Hi ,
In HSBUS we have out of box operation HS.IHE.XDSb.Repository.Operations to route CCD's from HSBUS to Edge gateway.
Earlier it was working fine, but for maintenance we have to rest the DEV environment, Now its throwing below error. I have verified all registry configuration and the CCD feed is also same, nothing is changed except reset. Can someone help me, where to look for this problem or what I am missing here.
I have a tool I absolutely love for HL7 v2 analysis and manipulation. It's called 7edit. I'm wondering if there is anything similar for HL7v3/CDA/CCD. I know it is considerably more complex, but I still have hope.
So far the best resource I've found is http://www.cdapro.com/. I'd love to hear anyone else's tips for tools or resources.
We are receiving XML documents and storing them. When we click to go into the clinician portal and again to view a patient, we can see the documents but none of the data is mapped to their respective buckets, i.e. allergies or medications.
I am thinking that I need to build an XSLT parser and change the format to SDA3, is this an appropriate approach? Or would using the Data Transformation (Ensemble -> Build -> Data Transformation) be a better idea? Lastly, if the XSLT idea is preferred, where would I call it within the stack?
Hi community!
Does anyone know if it´s possible to override a property name to generate a JSON message based on the instance of object?
Thanks,

Hello,
I am not certain where to post this, but I am seeking to hire consultants with Intersystems Caché DBA experience. Is there a source for qualified professionals?
Thank you!

Hello there Intersystems Developer Community,
This year while at the Global Summit, I came to learn of a component that Stephen Morrison of Intersystems had written that was capable of infusing SVG content into a PDF document. Apparently Stephen was approached about this and was amenable to sharing the code with us as we have recently encountered a similar need. I'm hoping this post will lead to the sharing of this utility code, so that we can determine if it will indeed suit our need.
Hello friends,
Does anyone know how to make the default checked for the 'Open as read-only' setting in Caché Studio version 5.0?

Steve Glassman is on vacation today so in his place I wanted to announce the availability of a new kit for the 2016.3 Field Test. The kit details are: 2016.3.0.628.0
Most of the changes are related to DeepSee, DocDB data models and dynamic objects. You can find a complete listing here:

Java Business Services and Operations
In Ensemble 2016.3 ‘Java Business Hosts’ provides the means to create new Business Services and Business Operations using Java without need for any ObjectScript coding. There are two major reasons to use this capability:
If I have a cache.dat file from a Windows 2012 (64-bit) machine and I want to mount it on a Caché instance running on RHEL, will it work? Assume the versions of Caché are the same.
Hello, I'm new to Ensemble, and my first task is to become familiar with the Production and create a basic outline of it for the users to view (which servers, where are the input files, where are the output files, how many records...). What are the Production tables? I'd like to start there.
Thanks,

Hi.
I'm facing a problem when I try to use the Runtime Expression below inside the XData Contents:
It compiles correctly, but when I open the page on the browser I get the message "Expression Error" instead of "Testing!".
How could I use the $$$Text macro with Runtime Expressions? Is there a way to make this?
Thanks!
Some Mac users have noticed "smart quotes" or "curly quotes" appearing in the browser-based Ensemble editors within Atelier. Specifically, typing "" may result in the output “” instead of the normal double quote characters.
This is happening because of a Mac OS X "smart quote" feature. Many applications have their own options to override this, but Eclipse does not (that we've seen, at least). The workaround is to disable "smart quotes" at the OS level. For instructions on how to do so, see: http://www.iclarified.com/38772/how-to-disable-curly-quotes-in-mac-os-x-mavericks
Post updated in August 2025 to include links to IRIS.
I have seen customer problems where the use of a virus scanner running over Caché or IRIS databases was causing intermittent application slowdowns and bad user response times.
This is a surprisingly common problem, so this short post is just a reminder to exclude key Caché and IRIS components from your virus scanning.
Generally, virus scanning must exclude the CACHE.DAT or IRIS.DAT database files and the InterSystems binaries. If an anti-virus is scanning *.
Hello, one of our application partner, is considering modernizing their old CSP laboratory portal by using Zen Mojo with Bootstrap. They have a lot of experience with COS, CSP and some ZEN. They are new to REST/JSON and have some limited knowledge of javascript - perhaps not enough to the extent used by client framework.
NewBie's Corner Session: 5 Operator Precedence
Welcome to NewBie's Corner, a weekly or biweekly post covering basic Caché Material.
Click on the Caché Cube in your system tray and select Terminal to try out the commands.
Order Precedence means the order in which mathematical operators are executed. In a Mathematical expression, you may have Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction, and Division. Which of these are executed first, second, third, etc.
Has anyone tried to extract a Microsoft SQL Image Column into a JPG file using Ensemble? We currently have a Microsoft SQL Integration Services job that exports a SQL Image column into a JPG and then resizes it. I would like to get this job off of Microsoft so the rest of our team can support it and wondered if we could do it in Cache Object Script using Ensemble.
Thanks

I need to call Ensemble Business Operation by sending authorised (basic auth, cache user) HTTP request (REST-like). How can I achieve that?
Maybe configure a Business Service, but which one has this functionality?
Hi,
Our Cache server(version 5.0.15) has recently crashed. We are in the process of recovery. We had replaced the server's hard disk and trying to install the cache(5.0.15) But getting the following error. Any body show some light on the issue.
CctrlInstallStartCP( CACHE ) failed! Return value: 1 CctrlGetLastError() returned:
A problem was encountered while attempting to restore the write image journal file (CACHE.WIJ). See the console log for more information. If you want to start Cache without restoring the write image journal, move the file to an alternate location.
I'm pleased to see the new Source Control menu in the recent 1.0.165 build. This gives me access to the features of the same server-side source control class as Studio has always supported. It is particularly relevant for our Deltanji source control tool.
Our class makes use of CSP to serve up some dialogs through which the user controls the source control operation. Two observations so far:
1. In Atelier the window you display our CSPs isn't resizable. In Studio it is.
2. Atelier isn't detecting the page we send that's supposed to close the dialog.
I am wish to use the mapping widget provided with DeepSee with my own Google license. What is the best way to make this happen?
(I apologize if this is a duplicate. My first attempt did not seem to get posted)
I just used Help\Check for Updates and updated my Atelier from 1.0.158 to 1.0.165. Is there any information published about what's new/fixed in this compared to previous public builds? Having that information might help us target our testing and so increase the value of our feedback to you.
Hi everyone!
I am helping a partner to develop a new application and one of the things we are facing is that this WEB application will be used on different time zones.
My first recommendation is that all timestamps should be drawn from $ZTimeStamp instead of $Horolog. That would allow the system to be draw the correct sequence of events even when they are generated on different timezones.
Hi!
I am trying to create a %Installer script and I noticed from our documentation that %Installer's <CSPAuthentication> will only accept:
<CSPApplication> Optional; within <Namespace>. Defines one or more CSP applications; the supported authentication flags are 4 (Kerberos), 32 (Password), and 64 (Unauthenticated).
Is "Delegated" authentication supported? What is it's code?
Kind regards,
Amir Samary
