I have a class method that accepts a global parameter but when I attempt to order this global, the global name is listed as undefined. I can execute $DATA(pGlobalName) successfully.

ClassMethod ExamineGlobal(pGlobalName As %Global)
 {
   set gStatus=$DATA(pGlobalName) ; returns 1 
    write "This is the global name: "_pGlobalName
   set gmin=$ORDER(pGlobalName("")) ; here pGlobalName is undefined
 }

In debug mode, data returns 1 for a valid global with no descendants. This is expected.

However, when I call $ORDER, it shows <UNDEFINED> for pGlobalName.

Hello All,

I am compiling a REST Operation to call our hospital Administration system, following tutorials around the REST API's etc. First time we have integrated like this so not much knowledge around our hospital - hoping someone on here can help.

I have been using the JSONStreamToObject Method which is working as i expected, apart from trying to get a specific item in the example JSON Response as follows:

{"test":"abc","name":[{"use":"usual","family":"Matest","given":["Mia"]}]}

I'm able to get family using set pResponse.familyname = tProxy.name.GetAt(1).family  , plus other properties within

 Requesting assistance on Intersystems Cache Managed Key Encryption.

We have configured the KMIP Server.

The KMIP server is an external HSM box. I was not able to find any info on Key Rotation and what type of encryption does it follow i.e. 1-tier approach or 2-tier approach.

Can someone please assist on the same?

Hello!

I have a table pane component on my page.  I want to get the contents of the table to send embedded within an email.  Is there a simple (or not simple) way to get the HTML of the rows and columns to send this way?

Hi ObjectScript developers!

InterSystems ObjectScript is perhaps the best language on the planet to deal with globals - and it is an interpretable language.

Yes, it has a compiler. But even the compiler can compile some lines in ObjectScript which will then fire as bugs during the runtime.

There are some technics on how to avoid that such as unit testing, coding guidelines and your coding experience, of course ;)

Here I want to present to you the yet another approach to how you can reduce the number of errors in your ObjectScript runtime and enforce coding guidelines - it's an ObjectScript Quality tool developed by Lite Solutions, InterSystems solution partner.

See the details below.

I can run the following commands from the AIX command line prompt without any problem

-bash-2.05b$ echo t
t
-bash-2.05b$ echo œ
œ

When I call from insider cache, I have problem.

USER>D $ZF(-1,"echo t")
t

USER>D $ZF(-1,"echo œ")

D $ZF(-1,"echo œ")

I am using cache 2017.2.  Can someone shed some light?

Thank you.

Hi !

I am getting below error in my .NET MVC project, I am IRIS Entity Framwork, in the database table filed and model having the same datatype int.

The specified cast from a materialized 'System.Int64' type to the 'System.Int32' type is not valid db Table creation Id field is created with [xDBC Type = BIGINT]

Please kindly advice me.

Thank you

I have an upcoming project where we are being asked to take a PDF result and send it to a PACS system as a DICOM encapsulated PDF.  I am wondering if anyone has done this and if so can you share your experience?

Thanks,

Hi All,

   It must be the groundhog days but I can't solve something that I know I've done before.  I have a legacy CSP page on a version of Cache without JSON and just pure Cache.

  I need a CSP page that takes a .xlsx file, manipulates the file (in COS) and then returns a new manipulated file.

  My CSP Page gets the file fine, the problem is then returning the response with the new file as an attachment.  I don't want to pipe to a new csp page with a different content-type so was sure I can set %response.Headers etc to get the reply stream I want.

So my CSP Page (which contains a lot of CSP

In an ever-changing world, companies must innovate to stay competitive. This ensures that they’ll make decisions with agility and safety, aiming for future results with greater accuracy.
Business Intelligence (BI) tools help companies make intelligent decisions instead of relying on trial and error. These intelligent decisions can make the difference between success and failure in the marketplace.
Microsoft Power BI is one of the industry’s leading business intelligence tools. With just a few clicks, Power BI makes it easy for managers and analysts to explore a company’s data. This is important because when data is easy to access and visualize, it’s much more like it’ll be used to make business decisions. 

Haven't found this in the documentation. I want:

&sql(SELECT name INTO :var FROM :table)

Is it possible?

Hi, Community!

Would you please share your best practices for utilising 3rd party modules (say community solutions, frameworks, development tools/utils).

There are two approaches which I like:

1. New namespace for every new module

So, if you install something you install it in special separate namespace/database. MDX2JSON/DeepSeeWeb case.

If the package is intended to be used in other namespaces, map the packages to %All and have it available in all the namespaces in this Caché/Ensemble.

And there is one more benefit: it is easy to uninstall the module, just delete the namespace/database.

2.

Hi, Community!

I'm using Git with DeepSee and when I need to do a commit to the git repo I'm exporting ALL the pivots and dashboards from the namespace. But I can forget to do that) And it can take time for a large system.

What is the way to manage automatical export of DeepSee artefacts which we are editing in UI (Cubes, Pivots, Dashboards, Pivot Variables, Term lists, Shared Measures) into files every time when I push Save button?

Hi Community!

We are pleased to invite you to the upcoming webinar in Spanish: "Interoperability: HL7 productivity tools" / "Interoperabilidad: herramientas de productividad HL7" on April 29 at 16:00 CET! 

What will you learn?

Hi Community!

We are pleased to invite you to the upcoming webinar in Spanish: "How to implement integrations with .NET or Java on InterSystems IRIS" / "Cómo implementar integraciones con .NET o Java sobre InterSystems IRIS" on May 20 at 4:00 PM CEST! 

What will you learn?

If you work with interoperability productions of InterSystems IRIS or Ensemble, no doubt you are familiar with the Message Viewer page. The page supports filtering messages according to filter criteria you enter in the Basic and/or Extended Criteria sections. Extended Criteria conditions are specified as property-operator-value triples. Once you click Search button, such triples become WHERE clause conditions of a generated SQL query executed against message header/body tables.

As a side note, one can view recently generated message queries by following the instructions listed in the doc.

Hi, 

iris version: IRIS for UNIX (Ubuntu Server LTS for x86-64 Containers) 2019.4 (Build 383U) Fri Dec 6 2019 08:49:54 EST

os: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

memory: 16G

Disk: 256G SSD

Iris config: default.

soft/hard limit: 65535

I build follow simplest flow to do performance test.

1. create A EnsLib.HTTP.GenericService name it IncomingHTTPService listen on 9980

checked create connection per request

Keepalived = 0

Qsize = 1000

2. create A EnsLib.HTTP.GenericOperation name it OutgoingHTTPOperator to connect localhost:8080(it's a nginx server serve a static html page)

3.

I have the variable with literal.

Can I understand with ObjectScript that the literal is:

%String, 

or %Integer,

or %Date,

or %Double,

or %Numeric?

What I'm looking for could be:

set variable="To be or not to be"

USER>w ##class(utils).GetType(variable) 

%String

set variable=42

USER>w ##class(utils).GetType(variable) 

%Integer

⏯ Resilient Deployments in the Cloud

Most of us are more or less familiar with Docker. Those who use it like it for the way it lets us easily deploy almost any application, play with it, break something and then restore the application with a simple restart of the Docker container.
InterSystems also likes Docker.The InterSystems OpenExchange projectcontains a number of examples that run InterSystems IRIS images in Docker containers that are easy to download and run. You’ll also find other useful components, such as the Visual Studio IRIS plugin.
It’s easy enough to run IRIS in Docker with additional code for specific use cases,

Has anyone recently deployed the cache-git-studio plugin from Github repo?

In particular, I see that this plugin is installed at the namespace level, so it appears for each user have their commits in their own name, they must all be running a locally installed cache server when doing their dev work. I suspect that is the preferred way.

In my organization they are currently just accessing a remote cache server from Studio. In that scenario, it looks like it would be one installation of git for the whole team. and thus only one shared git user.

Hi community,

I need to write an SQL query  to fetch a random record from a table, that table has millions of data.

In postgresql, for example, there is a RANDOM() function to do something like that:

SELECT column FROM table
ORDER BY RANDOM()
LIMIT 1

Is it possible to do something like that in Caché?

Thanks in advance

The Caché System Management Portal includes a robust web-based SQL query tool, but for some applications it’s more convenient to use a dedicated SQL client installed on a user’s PC.

SQuirreL SQL is a well known open source SQL client built in Java, which uses JDBC to connect to a DBMS. As such, we can configure SQuirreL to connect to Caché using the Caché JDBC driver.

Finding Caché’s JDBC driver JAR

The JAR file containing the Caché JDBC driver is installed automatically by the Caché installer when installing a full Caché instance or when installing client components only.

Hi Developers,

Please welcome the new video specially recorded by InterSystems Product Manager @Bob Kuszewski for the 3rd InterSystems Online Programming Contest on InterSystems IRIS Native API:

⏯ Using the IRIS Native API GitHub Template

What’s the contest about?

In the last year, InterSystems added and expanded Native APIs for Java, .NET, Python, and Node.js. The Native API provides high speed access to globals, the ability to instantiate and use ObjectScript objects, and fine-grained control over transactions.

I known ensemble builtin support xml and hl7 document  searchtable , is it also support searchtable on json document?

Is there a way to force a failover from the primary mirror member to the backup member without forcing down the primary (which happens with ##class(SYS.Mirror).BecomePrimary())? What I'm trying to simulate is a network isolated condition on the primary.

I have been using %Net.FtpSession and while it works, its handling of file/directory listings from an FTP server is less than ideal and, while this is due to the FTP protocol itself, the class could be written to handle this as would an FTP client such as FileZilla and command line/class FTP handlers for other languages. I was wondering if anyone knows how the Ensemble adaptor works with this in case it provides code that would help, though the source does not seem to be available.

Hello Community, 

I want to secure a SOAP Webservice (an EnsLib.SOAP.Service one, if that matters) adding a SSL/Username Policy to it. As im not sure how detailed my request here should get, ill try giving a detailed as-is description of my setup, what I've tried, how I tried to test the connection and what problems including some logs I ran into. 

As a small foreword: I'm pretty new to the whole security aspect of intersystems and soap itself. 

System:

I've tried it on 2 different systems with pretty much the same result: 

1. IIS Server with a 2 System-Mirror Healthshare 2018.1.2 Installation
