When executing a business process I'd like to share the Login Token from an external system retrieved via one of my business operations across multiple process instances. This means I need to persist the token somewhere. What would be the best approach/pattern to implement this?

The primary idea I had was to store the token and a timestamp in a persistable object and then write a single method in the Business Operation that retrieves the token.

Dear community!

I'm currently working on MessagePack implementation by using Cache ObjectScript.

I try to choose suitable representation for binary array.

Should I use $lb or $c or smth else for it?

How do I set an URL when I post a httpRequest via SendFormArray of my Ensemble Business Operation. Here is my code: 

Class CareHome.RestApiClient Extends EnsLib.REST.Operation
{
Parameter INVOCATION = "Queue";
Method Login(pRequest As CareHome.Request.LoginRequest, Output pResponse As Ens.StringResponse)
{

set tURL = ..Adapter.URL_"login/login"

set httpRequest = ##class(%Net.HttpRequest).%New()
 set httpRequest.ContentType="application/json"
 do ..ObjectToJSONStream(pRequest,.jsonStream,"aeliw")
 set httpRequest.EntityBody = jsonStream
  
 set tSC = ..Adapter.SendFormDat

Initial questions have been answered. Expanded the post with actual code (see below)

So, I'd like to update one (and preferably) more context-fields in my ensemble BPL business process based upon the information in the request that initiates said BPL proces. I got a few questions about that:

1. First, I can't get it to work. Specifically, in the BPL process I call the business rule with my request as context and expect it to put it results in context.Boolean. The business rule nicely updates the context.Boolean but the conditional logic looks at specific fields in the request (i.e. if request.

I have an application in Cache 2013 (No Ensemble) which need to consume a REST web API over internet.

Can somebody please help me by pointing out the documentation or provide me code sample  for consuming the REST API from a routine/class.

I am using Cache 2008 (No Ensemble) .

Hello!

Suppose I have a package with classes which I want to rename. All these classes are persistent and they already have a lot of data stored.

The best I can think of to do is the following:

1. Duplicate class definitions of old classes, rename each of them and save
2. Write a routine to copy (duplicate) all the data from old classes to new ones. (which is not trivial at some point)
3. Refactor all the application's code to use new classes. (which may not be trivial at some point too)
4. Test the things above
5. Load new code to live environment and launch the script
6. Hope that 5. finishes successfully.

Hello.
We're about to implement an application that could use WebSockets intensely so before we head to that direction we need to figure out about how some few things work. That being said, anyone care to give me some enlightenment?

• What's the criteria for a new session to be created when using WebSockets?
• What's the factor for calculating how many licenses to would be used when SharedConnection  is enabled for WebSockets?
• Is there a way to use session in a way that it would optimize the license usage for a single user?

This is the 25th and last challenge of the 2016 series of Advent of Code.

In this challenge,  you have to send a signal out,  using the assembunny code interpreter that  we had to make in earlier challenges.

There is one extra instruction added to the assembunny language, which outputs a value (out x).

Using the instructions as input (see http://adventofcode.

Greetings!

Hopefully someone has an answer on this, I cannot find any example or understand from the documentation how to acheive this.

I have a SOAP header subclass

Class AddressType Extends %SOAP.Header
{

Parameter ELEMENTQUALIFIED = 1;

Parameter MAXLEN;

Parameter NAMESPACE = "urn:registry:1";

Parameter XMLNAME = "urn:LogicalAddress";

}

In my  %SOAP.WebClient I use it like this:
set customHeader = ##class(AddressType).%New()
do ..HeadersOut.SetAt(customHeader,"AddressType")

Which results in

Is there any way to specify in which order indices are built during:

• %BuildIndices
• %Save

So far I think they are built by name order.

Today, you need to find your way through a maze (again). There are 8 points of interest in the maze, and you have to visit them all, starting with point 0.
You may visit some points more than once, in random order. The challenge is to find the shortest path through the maze while visiting all points.

Dear community!

I have problem with index NULL value.  Unique index doesn't work for this case.  If I use insert and one of parameter is "NULL". Message of constraint doesn't appear and row is inserted into table successfully.  How Can I use index with NULL?

Class TestClassIndx Extends %Persistent
{
Property name As %String [ Private ];
Property age As %String [ Private ];
Property country As %String [ Private ];
Index IndextestUniq On (name, age, country) [ Unique ];
}

INSERT INTO TestClassIndx (name,age,country) VALUES ('1','2',NULL)

Hi everyone!

I'm restoring big database (1.8 Tb) from full backup to another host.

This host is weak (4Cpu 4GB RAM), so ^DBREST already works for 50 hours.

Is it possible to view restore process progres? I would like to know what  time it will take to complete?
 

Hi Guys,

Can you please guide me on how to develop the machine learning concepts like as Chatbots, voice recognition, etc...

If any lead would be appreciate. 

Thanks in Advance.

Thanks and Regards,

I have been working on a project in our Dev environment which resulted in processing a few (million) HL7 messages, and I thought it would be a good idea to purge the namespace in a controlled way. My concern was when it hit the day where the scheduled task would purge 'the day of a million messages', it would fill the Journal Drive quite dramatically and would happen overnight resulting in triggering a response from the poor person on out of hours support.

I ran the below query in three different modes.  Coordinated Universal Time is 5 hours ahead of Eastern Time so there is difference in value from column 1 and column 2 in ODBC, Display mode, but not in Logical Mode. By default the query executes in ODBC mode when we query the data from outside world(via ODBC connection). 

I don't know  why query 2 and query 3 outputs different from query 1.

Query 1. Ran in Logical mode, DATEPART() took in memory stored timestamp data(stored in UTC)

'Hour ' returned are same for both the columns

Query 2.

Remember the assembunny language we had to code on day 12 (https://community.intersystems.com/post/advent-code-2016-day12-leonardo…)?

There is a new instruction we have to implement which toggles an instruction x lines away (further or back).

• For one-argument instructions, inc becomes dec, and all other one-argument instructions become inc.

I have an Ensemble installation and just build my first RestService (using %CSP.Rest that forwards them to my Business Service). This works nice and fine when I use postman to make REST calls over http (port 57772). However when I attempt to make a request using https over port 443 I receive the following error:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html>
    <head>
        <title>404 Not Found</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <h1>Not Found</h1>
        <p>The requested URL /csp/healthshare/fcoffice/rest/ping was not found on this server.

The goal of today's challenge is to copy data from one disk to another, problem is that the disks are not directly connected. Luckily they are in a huge grid, and you have to find a way to copy the data through adjacents disks, while honoring the disk usage (you cannot copy to a disk where data is already stored).

The input is a df-like disk usage listing.

Backup Essentials - Protecting Your Data

Hello, this is going to be a stupid question, yea I know, there are no stupid questions.

Say, I have an Object Property, Name or Count or Title, or whatever.

How can I get a list, or find out all the different ways it can be expressed?

Example:

-Property Name As %Name;

-Property Name As %String="me"

-Property Name As %String [ Required];

But what other parameters, keywords, restrictions, lists, etc. that I can apply to this Property?

I have been search the I/S documentation and so far at least, I cannot find that sort of information, or in one place.

The challenge of day 21 is about scrambling passwords.

There are a few functions you need to implement that will do operations on a string :

- swap position X with position Y : means that the letters at indexes X and Y (counting from 0) should be swapped.
- swap letter X with letter Y  : means that the letters X and Y should be swapped (regardless of where they appear in the string).

Hi there,

The problem is, that I need use the property value of datacombo in other  datacombo with parameter.

The follow a example code: 

<dataCombo id="Grupo_Producto" name="Grupo_Producto" dataBinding="bdGrupo" size="40" 
label="(*) Grupo" dropdownWidth="400" dropdownHeight="100" loadingMessage="Cargando..."
columnHeaders="Codigo, Nombre"
queryClass="Innova.CL.Core.BD.Configuracion.Operacional.Grupo" queryName="obtieneGrupoProd"
 sqlLookup="SELECT Nombre FROM Innova_CL_Core_BD_Configuracion_Operacional.

Hello Community,

I have a simple question but somehow hard to find the solution:

this is a property in my class:

Property RelationAID As ZenCrm.Relationtypes;

this is my method to save:

ClassMethod PopulateMatrix(tvar1, tvar2) As %Status
{
set RelationMatrix=##class(ZenCrm.RelationMatrix).%New()
set RelationMatrix.RelationAID= tvar1
set RelationMatrix.RelationAType= tvar2
do RelationMatrix.%Save()
quit $$$OK
}

However the 'set' line does not work for the 'related properties.

I have tried: set RelationMatrix.Relationtypes.RelationAID but this failed.

Any suggestion? thanks!

Application Performance Monitoring

Tools in InterSystems technology

Back in August in preparation for Global Summit I published a brief explanation of Application Performance Management (APM). To follow up on that I have written and will be publishing over the coming weeks a series of articles on APM.

One major element of APM is the construction of a historic record of application activity, performance and resource usage. Crucially for APM the measurement starts with the application and what users are doing with the application.

We have an web application accessed using https, that uses CSP technology with frames.

The initial 'login' is via a single CSP page, which then redirects to another CSP page which creates the frames (4 in all) and loads a CSP page in each of those.  For the most part the frames load without error, but sometimes when logging in and sometimes while using the system ' 5916 Illegal CSP Request ' errors occur.

I say 'login' in inverted commas as a Cache login is not performed just an application login, I don't know if that's relevant so thought I'd mention it.

Does anyone know how to return the sys.process table with the corresponding configname item for each process? Also, is there a key for the Job Type field?
