Dear Community,

We're pleased to invite you to the InterSystems DACH Symposium 2019, which will take place from November 12th to 14th 2019 at The Westin Grand Hotel in Frankfurt am Main!

This year, we will focus on best practices and use cases for AI, ML as well as API management, microservices and the use of containers for DevOps. 

You’ll experience exciting lectures, interactive sessions and hands-on coding exercises, which are suitable for both InterSystems experts and beginners.

I have a custom written date, setup as myDate in my application, which always behaved fine for years, and now it's acting a little weird. 

When I run SQL in Display mode the date shows as 1/10/1841 for some but not ALL rows.

When I run the same exact query in logical Mode the date shows normal format, in my case, for example 10/1/2019.  When the application is running is shows the incorrect date.  When I run the terminal session and open a ref point and ask to write a date is shows 10/1/2019, but I am expecting internal format here - 65287.   

I was wondering what is causing this issue.

Hi Developers,

The new video from Global Summit 2019 is already on InterSystems Developers YouTube:

How I can access identity column value in SqlComputeCode with property?
 

We have in DB two books, first is loaned because it has the Friend ID, and the other is in the shelf.

I execute a class query to get all loaned books:

    Query BooksLoaned() As %SQLQuery
    {
        SELECT *
        FROM Library.Book
        WHERE Friend IS NOT NULL
    }
 

Which I have tested throught the portal:

My task is to retrieve all the loaned books and return them in an array. Method code:

ClassMethod GetLoanedBooks() As %ArrayOfObjects
    {
        set booksRS = ##class(%ResultSet).%New("Library.Book,BooksLoaned")
        set rsStatus = booksRS.Execute()
        set i = 1
        set ^books = ""

Hi all, New user here. I have an instance of Google Cloud Iris Health Community Edition running and am logged in on terminal. I follow the instructions for Google Cloud IRIS Health Community Edition. How do I get to iris? iris status yields nothing, there is no /bin/iris and sudo docker ps -a shows no containers but there probably is a iris container somewhere on the instance?  'Visit the site' yields ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED 

Hi Developers,

Here is a digest of the Developer Community videos on InterSystems Developers YouTube Channel in October 2019:

I would like to Compact globals in a database to free up space.   

I would begin the process on Saturday morning, but am concerned, due to the size, that it would not complete by Sunday evening.  I understand that the process is setup so that it can run with users on the system, however, as the advice indicates, this would not be ideal.

Can the process be stopped if it does not complete by the time you want/need it to?

Do you know how to guestimate how long the process would take?

This is the Freespace for the database in question.  There are 1047 globals of which one of them takes up 50%.

Hi there

I've noticed extreme slowness using the portal in my Healthconnect dev enviroment lately.

Any page in the Portal takes a lot of time Loading.

Any ideas of what it could be?

Kind Regards,

All of the sudden, Cache Studio's Debug->Run command started to fail with error '6704 Target has exited debugger' (German: Kein Anbinden möglich). What could be a reason of that? Today we installed Cache Web Terminal (https://intersystems-community.github.io/webterminal/
), could it be possible that the terminal somehow hijacked some debugging api end-point?

Update: any idea what error 6704 means exactly? Studio was able to launch debugging job but it unexpectedly exited? German text seems is trying to say "Can't connect"

Hi Developers!

Here is the release of what's was enhanced and fixed in the DC engine in October 2019.

• New look-and-feel and features for the Developers Events;
• "Smart" social sharing in Twitter;
• 5 min delay before sending emails, nested tags for group tags, better articles linkage, and other small enhancements and bug fixes.

See the details below.

The Issue

I help support a legacy ZEN application that makes extensive use of the “dataGrid” component. The application reuses a ZEN page with a“dataGrid” for different views of similar data; depending on the view, the application hides or displays some of the columns of the “dataGrid”. The application does this client-side, setting the “hidden” property of the “columnDescriptor” true or false as needed.

Users have reported the following bug in the app: On views which hide a column, data in the other columns are shifted so as to appear under the wrong headers.

Hi,

Has anyone tried the  InterSystems IRIS for Health Community Edition on Azure

https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/apps/intersystems.intersystems-iris-health-community
It seems the image is the InterSystems IRIS for Health image instead of the Community Edition.

Thanks,

I have a cube that lists services, processes, and operations information and wanted to make the names of the items more user-friendly to end users and to use a flag to determine which components would be displayed in the dashboard.

We created another table/cube that has a status flag (1/0) to determine whether we would look at the item, the existing name, and the human-readable name.

What is the best way to reference the data in the new cube from the original cube to use the human-readable name?

Thank you, LG

Greetings community. I would like to know how to migrate a BD in production to a local environment. When I have a system in production (BD Sql Server) what we do is mount a local copy to do the analysis with the data and not occupy resources of the system in production. My question is: How do you do it with Intersystems technology? I already tested the PowerBi connector and it looks great, but that's where the question came up.

I am de-serialzing a FHIR Resource CodeSystem in STU3 FHIR resources from JSON in my Business Process using the following code:

set pCodeSystemResource = ##class(HS.FHIR.vSTU3.Model.Resource.CodeSystem).%New()
set tStream = ##class(HS.SDA3.QuickStream).%OpenId(pFHIRRequest.QuickStreamId)

We're adopting the same HTML generation code for various static HTML files also served up on docs.intersystems.com, including the Supported Platforms document, the PDF index document, and

Introducing non-persistent messages. eXpert-to-eXpert

Background

InterSystems Ensemble as a tool does a lot for the Developer. One of the nice features is the Message trace utility. It shows a message flow diagram. The diagram shows the progress of the message processing real time. You can get many-many useful information from the production. In any case, someone needs to find a bug in a production implementation, without the Message trace utility it could turn into a real nightmare. 

On the other hand, keeping message “traceability” is not for free. A heavy loaded production can very quickly run out of resources just because of the house keeping functions of Ensemble. House keeping functions such as maintaining message header, log entries, message queue generates a significant load on the Caché database used by Ensemble.

This article is about to show how to force Ensemble work more for the everyday life, instead of being prepared for “any-time-debugging”.

This is an eXpert-to-eXpert article. Therefore, I assume the deep understanding of Ensemble.
