Hi,

Is it possible to implement Drag and Drop with the TablePane component?

The following post outlines an architectural design of intermediate complexity for DeepSee. As in the previous example, this implementation includes separate databases for storing the DeepSee cache, DeepSee implementation and settings. This post introduces two new databases: the first to store the globals needed for synchronization, the second to store fact tables and indices.

One of the many benefits of using Atelier for your ObjectScript development is its integration with a wide range of source control systems. This integration enables you to use modern development workflows which increase collaboration while minimizing the risk inherent to volatile code bases. 

Veteran ObjectScript developers can tell you about the workarounds that were needed before they could use source control systems with products like Caché and Ensemble. One of these was to treat the data store itself effectively as a code repository. And so shared development environments became essential for many of our customers to be productive and successful. 

For code shops that rely on shared development environments, adopting Atelier might seem too complicated. This article aims to provide a practical example to guide your team towards success with Atelier. 

You can find an overview of the problems and solutions in this article here, which is a good place to start. This article assumes that you are familiar with the concepts introduced there. 

Hi Everyone!

As you know Advent of Code 2018 is in full swing! Till the 25th of December 2018 each day 2 programming problems to sharpen your programming skills! 

And now we're ready to present great prizes for Members of InterSystems Global Masters Advocate Hub!

There's a new and exciting enhancement to QEWD that has just been released - it's an additional layer of abstraction known as QEWD-Up.  QEWD-Up hides away all the mechanics of QEWD itself, allowing you to focus on just your REST APIs and the code that implements them.

Additionally, and importantly, QEWD-Up simplifies the maintenance of your REST APIs, allowing you (and others) to quickly and easily understand their life-cycle and implementation.

QEWD-Up supports both monolithic application designs and MicroService-based architectures where APIs are broken down by, for example, functional role.

Example: I have a list of tags that I have to find, and a string with these and other tags separated by commas. How to find the desired tags in the string optimally?

Hi Community!

On behalf of Developer Community and Global Masters team, I wish you a Happy New Year 2019!

2018 was another great year for InterSystems Developer Community - thanks to you!

Here are a few highlights:

This little guide would help you start running Ensemble REST services in no time.

Hi, would really appreciate your advice on how I can restart the mirror-monitor. I've followed the instructions and restarted the mirror monitor, and still the status seems to be down. Can you point me to some resource or steps that I can follow ?

I logged into %SYS terminal and restarted the mirror monitor and it says that it is running

Added new System Default Setting  for Production (not Host) setting.

However, Production setting is still the same. I have tried restarting Production and instance, to no avail.

How do I specify System Default Setting correctly?

Intro

Recently I reread this article by @Bernd.Mueller. It's about calling DELFATE function from zlib library. In this article I'll demonstrate several different approaches to callout libraries, we'll build the same functionality (compress function) in several different languages and compare them.

Hey Developers!

Advent of Code 2018 is over! Thanks for participating in our small but productive COS marathon!

And now we're pleased to introduce the winners and distribute all the prizes! 

Big applause goes to these winners:

I recently had to diagnose a networking problem I was having when attached to our corporate network.   I was seeing an unknown bridge network being defined that shared the same IP address space as the company network thus blocking access to company resources.  This bridge network was separate from the Docker0 bridge network which the docker engine sets up.  Docker was configured with a bip (bridge ip) address to prevent docker form using an address space that create a conflict.

HOWEVER, this only applies to the Docker0 bridge.

Hello everybody.

I have task to find out possibility call method from background task.  I need run some class with methods. I've found out than I can run it via ^%ZSTART routine. And now I wanna to learn is it possible to call this class and run it's methods.

Thank you

An Outlook on Scaling Out

When working at the Caché command prompt I sometimes want to run an operating system command on the server host. By prefixing my command line with ! or $ I can do this with ease. The following examples are from 2017.1 on Windows, but the feature is available on all versions and platforms:

USER>!dir
 
 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is 2EF9-50B3
 
 Directory of c:\intersystems\ens171\mgr\user
 
12/06/2017  12:41    <DIR>          .
12/06/2017  12:41    <DIR>          ..
02/02/2017  18:05        11,534,336 CACHE.DAT


The following code walks a DOM using %XML.Node. It also prevents %XML.Writer to change whitespace. Run the code using the class method "test":

Class objectscript.walkDOM Extends %Persistent
{
ClassMethod dfs(node As %XML.Node)
{
s entrynode=node.NodeId
do {
//element nodes with one whitespacetyped child are the ones we want to change
if (node.NodeType=$$$xmlELEMENTNODE){
s snode=node.NodeId

if (node.MoveToFirstChild())

{
i ('node.MoveToNextSibling()){
i (node.NodeType=$$$xmlWHITESPACENODE){
s node.NodeType=$$$xmlTEXTNODE
s node.NodeId=snode
}
}
}
s node.NodeId=snode

}

if (node.HasChildNodes()){
d node.MoveToFirstChild()
d ..dfs(node)
}
} while (node.NodeType'="" && node.MoveToNextSibling())
s node.NodeId=entrynode
}
 
ClassMethod test()
{
  set xml = "abcdefg<![CDATA[   ]]>"
 
  s reader=##class(%XML.Reader).%New()
  do reader.OpenString(xml)  
  set writer = ##class(%XML.Writer).%New()
  //do some magic
  d ..dfs(reader.Document)
   
  w !,"with indent=1:",!
  set writer.Indent = 1
  do writer.OutputToString()
  do writer.Document(reader.Document)
  w writer.GetXMLString()
  set writer.Indent = 0
  w !,"with indent=0:",!
  do writer.OutputToString()
  do writer.Document(reader.Document)
  w writer.GetXMLString()
}

}

Here's a link to the code on GitHub: https://github.com/intersystems-community/code-snippets/blob/master/src/cls/objectscript/walkDOM.cls

Hi

We have a few large PDFs coming into our engine - when it goes thru the Process and hits the Data Transformation it gets cut off before it sends it outbound to the receiving system.

Whats the best way to handle large PDFs?

Hi Community!

Thank you for being with InterSystems Developer Community yet another year! We appreciate it very much!

We want to know how helpful DC for you today and how could we make it better. 

Could you please go through this short 5 min survey which will let us know what do you think about DC and what could be improved.

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 

Sincerely, 

Your InterSystems Developer Community Team

InterSystems products (IRIS, Caché, Ensemble) already include a built-in Apache web server. But the built-in server is designed for the development and administration tasks and thus has certain limitations. Though you may find some useful workarounds for these limitations, the more common approach is to deploy a full-scale web server for your production environment. This article describes how to set up Apache to work with InterSystems products and how to provide HTTPS access. We will be using Ubuntu, but the configuration process is almost the same for all Linux distributions.

The goal of this article is to give users of InterSystems products background on source control in general, and how it can be used with Atelier, an Eclipse plugin. Specifically, I'll be discussing what to do when all of your developers share a single dev instance of an InterSystems product where they can edit and compile code. For more information about the implementation details, and sample workflow, see Michelle Stolwyk's DC post giving a Perforce example

Hi Community!

We are pleased to invite you to the upcoming webinar "Using Blockchain with InterSystems IRIS" on 20th of December at 10:00 (Moscow time)!

I am trying to use Entity Framework with Visual Studio 2017. After following the Intersystems documentation ("Using the Caché Entity Framework Provider") I still cannot see the data source in Server Explorer.  Any ideas why?

Is it possible to know the names of the sub-directories in the case of an FTP type service adapters?

I know how to do it for the file type.

Or can you transfer files from an FTP directory and sub-directories to a server by keeping the structure?

how do you change a date format to dd-MMM-YYYY in cache

How to configure Remotedatabase into our local instance. While connecting remote database i am getting "ERROR #463: Database C:\InterSystems\HealthShare2\mgr\Remote\ is not allowed for ECP Mirror Connection". so can anyone  help me to sort this out.

Hi, 

I'm working on my first SQL service using the SQL inbound adaptor, and I'm having trouble. 

I've been following the documentation but it errors on  set req=##class(ESQL.request).%New()

Would anyone be kind enough to share a working example?

Kind regards, 

Stephen

Class ESQL.NewService1 Extends Ens.BusinessService 
{

Parameter ADAPTER = "EnsLib.SQL.InboundAdapter";

Method OnProcessInput(pInput As EnsLib.SQL.Snapshot,
   pOutput As %RegisteredObject) As %Status
{

 set req=##class(ESQL.request).%New()
 set req.CustomerID=pInput.Get("CustomerID")
 set req.SSN=pInput.

Alexa: Connect Me with the World of IoT

I've been looking at the idea of developing a Time Travel Debugger utility.

It would take a debug target and have a few options such as stack depth and disclude system code.

The debugger would either be started from an external tool, or triggered from a line of code inserted into a method that I want to record.

The debugger would execute the code from start to end and record the full stack on each step to the configured depth.

A visualisation tool would provide a set of controls to play the recording forwards and backwards and provide various ways to search and jump to points in the recording.
