Hi, Community!

There are plenty of questions on Developer Community every day, which is great!

And which is even better - there are plenty of answers! 

A few months ago we introduced a nice feature - 'accepted answer'.

'Accepted answer' is a checkbox on the left of every other answer you see in a question post. So it let's op to mark the particular answer as accepted one. If you do that, this question disappears from unanswered filter.

And, we introduced a special challenge of "Accepted answer" in Global Masters which gives 150 points for every answer which is marked as accepted.

How to setup dollar ranges to get the number of patient accounts. So, I want to capture the number of patient accounts based on the original balance of: 0 to 499 500 to 999 1000 to 2499 5000 to 9999 10000 to 24999 25000 to 49999 50000 to 74000 75000 to 99999

Kindle Edition of Caché and MUMPS – Part II is released

All data is present and readable, albeit with some minor formatting issues.

Thank you for your patience in waiting for the kindle edition.

Hello,

We are working on creating a metadata file to accompany PDF documents produced by one of our third party systems for ingestion into our DMS.  One of the pieces of data that the metadata file must contain is the number of pages of the PDF document.

In Cache ObjectScript does anybody know if there is currently a way of counting the number of pages within a file (specifically a PDF) without invoking a non-Caché ObjectScript program/function from within Caché ObjectScript?

NB. Please be advised that PKI is not intended to produce certificates for secure production systems. You should make alternate arrangements to create certificates for your productions.
NB. PKI is deprecated as of IRIS 2024.1: documentation and announcement.

In this post, I am going to detail how to set up a mirror using SSL, including generating the certificates and keys via the Public Key Infrastructure built in to Caché. The goal of this is to take you from new installations to a working mirror with SSL, including a primary, backup, and DR async member, along with a mirrored database.

Hi,

I am exploring a simple restore procedure for a Cache instance and would really appreciate any help.

Basically, I have a CentOS machine with a Cache instance and let us say I backed up all the mount points where Cache data is located (install dir, DAT files, journals, WIJ etc). On another identical machine (without Cache installed), I mounted all these file systems exactly using the same mount points so all the data is back with the same paths.

Now, if I do "ccontrol start <INST>" (ccontrol binary is from the mounted install dir), it complains that the instance cannot be found.

    In the previous article, I had just started working with Arduino, and got a meteorological station to show as a result. In this article, let's go further: we will set  up authentication via RFID cards and Arduino against the InterSystems Caché  application.

Does there exist a User Defined Language pack for Caché ObjectScript for use in Notepad++? I'm hoping some friendly developer somewhere may have created one . http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php/User_Defined_Language_Files

Hi everyone,

I've created an Identicon Generator inspired on Fabio Gonçalves Captcha Validator.

This sample can be used to create Identicons for users of app for example, it can be useful to use in Zen Mojo applications, generating an identifier image based on name of the user by example, but it can be used in others kind of applications too(Zen, CSP etc)

Examples:

First one:

Will generate this:

And this:

Will generate this:

Hello us !

I want to use webservice CLS in Netbeans and use PHP development tool.

I create this

try {
    $wsdl_url = '[URL].ClassPatientServices.cls?WSDL=1&CacheUserName=[USER]&CachePassword=[PWD];
    $client = new SOAPClient($wsdl_url);
    $params = array(
        'ClsINOUTContext' => array('AccesCode'=>'CWP','username'=>''),
        'strINPatientIPP' => "91005573",
        'ClsOUTInfosPatient' => "patient",
    );
    $return = $client->GetPatientInfo($params);
    print_r($return);
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo "Exception occured: " . $e;
}

Can you help me to use this webservice ?

Inspired by the article "Declarative development in Caché" that's still trending  on the dev com. The OP explored a functional style of iterating over a collection. A comment today suggested "Caché would need syntax support for anonymous functions".

With Macros you can kind of get anonymous like syntax using dot notation.

This is not production code, but it does work. First the macros...

#Define foreach(%c,%l) for i=1:1:%c.Size set %l=%c.GetAt(i) do
#Define map(%oc,%nc,%l) set %nc=##class(%ListOfDataTypes).%New() for i=1:1:%oc.Size set %l=%oc.

Several years ago everyone got mad about BigData – nobody knew when smallish data will become BIGDATA, but all knows that it’s trendy and the way to go. Time passed, BigData is not a buzz anymore (most of us missed the moment when Gartner has removed BigData term from their 2016 buzzword 2016 curve http://www.kdnuggets.com/2015/08/gartner-2015-hype-cycle-big-data-is-out-machine-learning-is-in.html), so it’s probably a good time to look back and realize what it is (what it was)…

When it becomes “BigData”?

Let’s start from the beginning: what is the moment when “not so big data” becomes BigData?

In the prior part of this series we have provided introduction to Google MapReduce approach, but still not covered their possible ObjectScript implementation. Which we will start to explain today.

In part I of this series we have introduced MapReduce as a generic concept, and in part II we started to approach Caché ObjectScript implementation via introducing abstract interfaces. Now we will try to provide more concrete examples of applications using MapReduce.

Let's say I need to process these urls in one REST method:

http://host:port/REST/arg1/arg2/arg3
http://host:port/REST/arg1/arg2/
http://host:port/REST/arg1/arg2
http://host:port/REST/arg
http://host:port/REST/

Currently I need to define URL Map like this (assuming /REST web app):

XData UrlMap
{
<Routes>
   <Route Url="/:arg1" Method="GET" Call="GET"/>
   <Route Url="/:arg1/:arg2" Method="GET" Call="GET"/>
   <Route Url="/:arg1/:arg2/" Method="GET" Call="GET"/>
   <Route Url="/:arg1/:arg2/:arg3" Method="GET" Call="GET"/>
</Routes>
} 

Is there a way to get all these URLs in one route:

After a five-part series on sample iKnow applications (parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5), let's turn to a new feature coming up in 2017.1: the iKnow REST APIs, allowing you to develop rich web and mobile applications. Where iKnow's core COS APIs already had 1:1 projections in SQL and SOAP, we're now making them available through a RESTful service as well, in which we're trying to offer more functionality and richer results with fewer buttons and less method calls. This article will take you through the API in detail, explaining the basic principles we used when defining them and exploring the most important ones to get started.

This earlier article already announced the new iKnow REST APIs that are included in the 2017.1 release, but since then we've added extensive documentation for those APIs through the OpenAPI Specification (aka Swagger), which you'll find in the current 2017.1 release candidate. Without wanting to repeat much detail on how the APIs are organised, this article will show you how you can consult that elaborate documentation easily with Swagger-UI, an open source utility that reads OpenAPI specs and uses it to generate a very helpful GUI on top of your API.

Can you create ad-hoc Caché relationship objects that are not part of the original Caché class definition? One of the drawbacks with relationships is that that the more relationships you have defined, the more difficult it can be manage. I was wondering rather than having all your relationships defined in the Caché class, could you programmatically create relationships between classes as and when they are required? We mostly use parent-child relationships in our classes.

Hi, Community!

Here are some news on Developer Community enhancements.

In March we fixed a lot of bugs and rearranged the notification system, so I hope you'll be happy with it now.

Enhanced content of the notification

With this new release in every email notification you'll see the reason, why did you get this particular notification and the option to unsubscribe of this types of notifications.

The notification will indicate whether you are subscribed to everything, or to particular group/tag, post or you got the message because you are following some member.

I'm pretty new to Ensemble and Cache, and I ran into an error today that I haven't seen before: "ErrNoResponseClass: No Response Classname is assigned for Request class <<someNumber>>". I haven't found much documentation about this beyond the Ensemble Error Codes document, which is essentially just a duplicate of the information I can see in the error message when this problem occurs. Is there any further information about this error and the conditions that cause it? Or perhaps what the <<someNumber>> value represents?

Hello,

i'd like to create a directory chain with  "EnsLib.FTP.OutboundAdapter"

i'm using it like that with the class file and it's working:

s file = ##class(%File).CreateDirectoryChain(directory)

But now i'd like to create a directory chain with the FTP Outbound but i don't know how , i didn't see a method to do that.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I have a xml stored in a globalCharrachter Stream.

I would like to get a full node parts of the xml to store it in an other file.

Exemple of an Xml store in cache

<doc>
<header></header>
<product></header>
<market></marker>
<doc>
</aaa>

I would like to generate new xml from this one like

<product></product> to product.xml

<market></market> to market.xml

s xml = ##class(MyExemple.test).%OpenId(1) --> my object with XML <doc> store 
s doc = ##class(%XML.Document).%New()
d doc.GetDocumentFromStream(xml.TXML)

Dear InterSystems Community! Do you control your Caché or Caché controls you?

Recently, I decided to start the project about control of Caché instance. The control is based on communication with chat bot.

For example, below text message shows current statistics of the certain Cache instance.

/stat <cache-instance>

Another example (start the certain Caché instance).

/start <cache-instance>

One more example (stop the certain Caché instance).

/stop <cache-instance>

What do you think about the project? What do you think about additional functionality?

Please, feel free to share your thoughts.

Hi Community,

This article assumes that you are familiar with Zabbix and SNMP monitoring, if not, there are some very interesting posts on the Community, especially this one (https://community.intersystems.com/post/creating-custom-snmp-oids) which contains a lot of information on how to configure and request an SNMP Cache server.  

With Cache, all MIB data objects are organized into tables, so you need to know the index of an object to be able to get its value.

I have a 100% ZEN application combined with 100% ZENReports and am also using IFind which is part of the solution.

 Our application is a cloud hosted solution where we lease a server which does not have a website, only  Cache configured under IIS.  Connectivity to our site is premised on a URL string such as  u12345.usa-server.com/csp/namespace/Cache.cls

With the release of Firefox V52 this connection string is now seen as security threat as we have an application login page using  two <password> controls.

GT1|1|1|Test^Test||123 Building^123 Building^Brooklyn^NY^11220^United States^^^Kings|^PRN^PH^^^^^^^^^(111) 111-1111~^PRN^CP^^^^^^^^^(222) 222-2222|||""|IN|DGH^Daughter

I'm trying to clear the phone number completely.

Remove target.{GT1(1):GuarantorPhNumHome()} still gives me _~_

Given location in INT code, as Cache usually reports on error (zWriteReport+25^SomeFile.1), is there any programmatic way to determine corresponding place in original source code?

I discovered a possible error in one of the courses but unlike other learning platforms, it isn't obvious how to report it.

Hi All,
