Here's the screenshot of the sidebar widget "Related conversations":

The question turn-key export of data for XML-enabled class currently has 2 answers, 0 comments for the post and 1 comment for an answer. I think it would be more informative to display one of these metrics in the widget:

• Number of answers and comments for post and comments for answers
• Number of answers and comments for post
• Number of answers

Instead of the current value of number of comments for post.

In the screenshot below the left is Chrome, the right IE11 (with About box info showing).

In both cases I'm not logged in to DC, but I don't think that's relevant:

Here's something I find a bit awkward. Suppose I'm reading the posts in a group, e.g from https://community.intersystems.com/group/developer-community-feedback

I see an interesting post, so I click into it.

I add a comment to the post.

Now I want to go back to the list of posts in the group, i.e. to https://community.intersystems.com/group/developer-community-feedback but I don't see a link that takes me there. I have to resort to several clicks on the browser back button.

Perhaps it'd help if somewhere on a post's header you gave us the name of the group owning the post.

We can change to this mode of UI in the Create New Post that I think makes the tag usage easier. There's help text under the window in this screen shot and it will contain instructions on the use of tagging, the benefits and also a link to a standing post to request new tags. I think this method of operation will allow us to add many more tags without making them burdensome to navigate.

Thoughts?

Not quite sure how to connect groups to tags in this UI but that might be the next step.

I received an email notification and the only link was directly to the comment: https://community.intersystems.com/question406316/answer406331

From that page you can see that there is no way to get to the full question itself (unless I'm missing it).  

Looking through my subscriptions it looks like I'm literally subscribed to the answer and not the main topic. 

it's so good it's repeating. Not sure why. Investigating.

Stream datatypes are not displayed when you execute SQL (in SMP for example).

Learn the basics about Caché objects.

Please consider these two concepts:

Concept 1 - Web Service or Web Application or Server Side

Concept 2 - Client Service or Client Application or Client Side

Maybe I am just a Web/Zen newbie, if I am and you all understand this, I apologize. (no nasty remarks please)

The questions are numbered, if you wish to respond to an individual question please precede it by the question number.

1. Is there consistency in naming these concepts?

2. Are CSP, Caché Server Pages used for the Web Server Side only? Or both sides?

3. The InterSystems documentation, Securing Caché Web Services, used for the Web Server side

We need to add some stored data to an ACK message being sent back to the originating system.  I have been looking at how to adapt the standard "EnsLib.HL7.MsgRouter.RoutingEngine" to do this as I cannot see any obvious way.  Any suggestion?

Whichever way you want to look at it, their numbers are impressive... growing revenue year-on-year of 69% is amazing... and now they are opening DCs in Canada and India...

Do you use any public cloud? Any private one?

Here's the scenario. I write a post, click the Publish button to post it,  but overlook the fact that because I didn't add a tag I'm still on the same page. The pink area highlighting what I forgot to fill in is out of sight at the bottom of the page. I carelessly navigate away (e.g. back button, or DC app tabs). There's no warning, and I've lost what I wrote.

Hi, Community!

The Second InterSystems Global Summit Contest finished yesterday, and we have a new winner!

John Murray has won the prize and showed very impressive contribution activity with the result:

• these posts were commented 96 times by other members
• made 53 comments with 39 positive votes.
• All this happened in 2 weeks.

Congratulations!

John gets Free Registration on InterSystems Global Summit 2016 and the 4-night stay in Arizona Biltmore, Waldorf Astoria Resort!

Thanks everyone who participated in this contest!

An XML-enabled class has an XMLExport() method that knows how to serialize an instance to XML. To export all instances of a class to a file, I need to instantiate a writer and loop through the extent. Is there no class method like XMLExportToFile() that does this in one go?

I am happy to announce the immediate availability of  Caché and Ensemble 2016.1.

The highlights of 2016.1 are

• Significant improvements in JSON support
• Continued advances in SQL performance
• Database scalability improvements
• New REST services for DeepSee

These and other new features are summarized in this video introduction to 2016.1

For complete technical details of what’s changed in 2016.1, review the Caché release notes and the Ensemble release notes.  

Straight-forward way to do it is well known and looks like this: 
------------------------------------------------------------ sample #1 --------

echo "Try to freeze Cache instance $instance"
rm -f $mydir/db_temp
csession $instance -U%SYS << EOF >/dev/null
zn "%SYS"
set rc=##Class(Backup.General).ExternalFreeze()
set fn="$mydir/db_temp"
o fn:("WNS"):1 if \$t u fn w rc c fn
h
EOF
read rc < db_temp
if [ "$rc" = "1" ]
then
 echo "...OK, system is frozen."
else
 echo "** Copy ABORTED: freeze rc = $rc"
 exit
fi

Introduction - Analyzing Textual Big Data

Big Data for Enriching Analytical Capabilities - Big data is revolutionizing the world of business intelligence and analytics. Gartner predicts that big data will drive $232 billion in spending through 2016, Wikibon claims that by 2017 big data revenue will have grown to $47.8 billion, and McKinsey Global Institute indicates that big data has the potential to increase the value of the US health care industry by $300 billion and to increase the industry value of Europe's public sector administration by Ä250 billion.

The big data breakthrough comes from

I have a %Net.Request object and I want to get a full URL of the request sent (preferably after all redirects, but even full initial one would be good). For example, I have the following method:

Have you ever needed to find a record for a particular person in your inbound data stream?  

Searching messages will enable you to find messages using an array of search capabilities.

I think there should at the very least be a third option; "discussion".  

Was this intentional? I don't like it.

How about a default tag for each community?  If I'm in the Developer Community Feedback I shouldn't have to also pick a related topic of Developer Community.

This post brought to you by the department of redundancy department.

I want to determine what service (eg. %Service_Console) is used for current process.

I can probably use some workarounds, i.e.

• Is %request object present
• Does $Device  contain |TRM|
• etc

But is there any centralised way to get current service?

Here are a few tips that might be useful to people who are running applications in an environment that's configured to use InterSystems mirroring.

• If you configure an ECP connection to a Caché instance that is a mirror member databases then the ECP connection should also have mirroring enabled (tick the mirroring box when defining the connection). More details here. You may also need to increase the number of ECP connections each end accepts, to cater for the way both members of a mirror pair get involved in ECP negotiation.

• If your app server needs to update an unmirrored database on the

This latest update was a huge stride in making the community usable.  I think you fixed almost all of the major usage gripes I had and it's looking great!

We will be publishing another update to Developer Community tomorrow, March 17th with the following enhancements and fixes:

** Task
    * [DCE-61] - Give content authors a way to Save Draft
    * [DCE-66] - Fix line wrapping in post listing
    * [DCE-69] - Developer Synchronization: New block for feedback link
    * [DCE-70] - Developer Synchronization: Fix paging for /group
    * [DCE-71] - Developer Synchronization: Main page now filtering Feedback
    * [DCE-72] - Verify that all pages w/right-hand column have the same column dimensions
    * [DCE-73] - Remove "Recent Posts" and "Related Groups"

In the recent march 15 update, there are multiple references to "groups". However in the menus, it still references "Communities" (Connect->Communities)

Shouldn't we update the menus to standardize on the word group(since that seems to be the popular/de facto term)?

Also I was forced to choose a related topic.  There is no  topic like: "misc", "other", "feedback", "site ui", etc. so I choose online learning

Look at this screenshot from the homepage. The "post" timestamp is the same as the "last comment" one.

Drilling into the item shows the correct amount of time since I created it.
