Hi, Community!

And so I continue with publishing of the tasks for the Final round of InterSystems Contest on InterSystems Caché and DeepSee as a part of IT Planet Student Championship in Sochi. This year we had about 2 000 participants in InterSystems Contest.

One of the tasks for the finals was to crack the black box and another to output 9876543210!

Here's the next task: gravity!

Question Carey Grant · Jun 7, 2017

Hopefully a simple question.

Using the Rule Editor, I can open a routing rule and easily define an 'effectiveBegin' and 'effectiveEnd' date.  I want to utilize this date feature for a "sub-rule" (i.e. rule #1) but not the entire routing rule therefore impacting all other rules. I also do not want to split and create a brand new routine rule just to send the message to the target business process.  It would be ideal to keep it contained within this single routing class that was created.

In "Rule Set #1", is it possible to have a "Rule #1" defined that can either use a 'send' action or

Question Rubens Silva · Jul 12, 2017

Greetings, can someone give me some help? I'm trying to use job for a instance method, as it's described here but...
Anyway, I have a method like this:

Method PrepareInstance(path){set ..Tool = ##class(Tool).%New(path)do $System.Event.Signal($zparent)}

That is being called like this:

Method TestPurge() As %Status{job ..PrepareInstance(..GetTestDirectory("../fixtures/_/dummy-project"))::10set msg = $System.Event.Wait("",10)
}

But it fails because:

<METHOD DOES NOT EXIST>zTestPurge+1^UnitTest.Tool.1 *PrepareInstance

Am I missing something or is that a bug?

HI Community,

I do have a table with quite some names written in Uppercase:

To simply correct this, I have created a button with some code behind it.:

ClientMethod convertToTitle() [ Language = javascript ]
{
    
    var ctrl zen('Relation');
tVar ctrl.getValue();
     
tVar this.StringConvert(tVar)
    zenPage.getComponentById('Relation').setValue(tVar)
}
ClientMethod StringConvert(str) [ Language = javascript ]
{
    ///alert (str)
    str str.substring(0,1).toLowerCase() tVar.substring(1).toLowerCase();
    ///alert (str)
    var pieces str.split(" ");
    for ( var i 0; i pieces.length; i+

Question Brian Schoen · Aug 30, 2016

Ensemble 2015.  Working on an a way to send NACK'd HL7 messages to a flat file for external review/troubleshooting. (Similar to the way BadMessageHandler deals with validation errors.)

I think I have the Alert piece down, but need assistance with the exact syntax to do an SQL query in the DTL (or a custom function) to pull the HL7 message Raw Content into the Alert, based on the SessionID.

(Also, anything special to write alerts to the File Operation?)

Thanks,  Brian

Question Mike Kadow · Jul 11, 2017

I am working with Caché Relationships.

I know how to iterate through the One side of the relationship and for each One iterate through all the various Manys.

What I have been trying to figure out, is the code (I can put into a Class) that will start at the top of the Manys, iterate down and for each of the Manys, pull the associated One.

I can do this with SQL or Globals, but I want to use only Class type code.

Is that clear? Any help?

Question Rubens Silva · Jul 11, 2017

You might find it useful or not. It depends on what you can imagine it to be used with, like I had to.

Either way, I created a lib that can fetch environment variables from a file or from the OS where Caché is running.

Mostly know as dotenv. Many languages have it, so why not Caché?
The usage is pretty simple:
If you want to use OS env vars exclusively, just use the method:

##class(DotEnv.Parser).FromOS()

Otherwise, if you want to specify a .env file containing your variables to complement the OS ones use the method:

##class(DotEnv.Parser).FromPath("/path/to/file")

Both methods return an

Question John Matson · Jul 10, 2017

Greetings,

I am working on the first of many triggers which will have identical code upon row insertion or update of a single column.  According to the document I should be able to define a multiple-event trigger using Cache SQL/DDL.

Here is a link to the current CREATE TRIGGER documentation.  Within the description section is the following paragraph:

A single-event trigger is triggered by a specified INSERT, DELETE, or UPDATE operation.

Question William Beetge · Jul 10, 2017

Hi all

I require an operation that will get a list of hosts every X minutes and call them, using values from my database.

The only issue is that I can't find any sort of scheduling/ timed event functionality in Ensemble. The documentation isn't particularly helpful so I thought I'd give the community a shot.

Is there any existing functionality in Ensemble that allows for scheduled operation calls?

Thanks

Hi!

Recently GitHub introduced topics for the projects.

So you can change your InterSystems related projects introducing the  topics to let it be categorized, more visible and searchable. Here is the list of good examples for your projects (some of them are clickable already):

intersystems, intersystems-cache, intersystems-ensemble, intersystems-healthshare, healthshare, intersystems-iknow, iknow, intersystems-deepsee, deepsee, cache-objectscript, csp, intersystems-zen, zen.

If you have any good ideas for topics or already using something, please introduce it here in the comments?

Quotes (1NF/2NF/3NF)ru:

Every row-and-column intersection contains exactly one value from the applicable domain (and nothing else). The same value can be atomic or non-atomic depending on the purpose of this value. For example, “4286” can be
  • atomic, if its denotes “a credit card’s PIN code” (if it’s broken down or reshuffled, it is of no use any longer)
  • non-atomic, if it’s just a “sequence of numbers” (the value still makes sense if broken down into several parts or reshuffled)

This article explores the standard methods of increasing the performance of SQL queries involving the following types of fields: string, date, simple list (in the $LB format), "list of <...>" and "array of <...>".

Question Chris Sprague · Jul 4, 2017

Hello,

I'm currently exploring alternatives to CSP/services and ODBC/Sql Maps for access to Caché. I'm not seeing a library which would interest me, so am considering creating one myself.

Does 'CacheConnection' in C# use RPC of some sort, or a defined protocol to communicate with Caché, or does it do so over telnet with scripted commands? I would assume the former. If so, is this a publicly documented protocol that can be implemented by library developers?

Any guidance in this area would be appreciated.

Question wx fg · Jul 5, 2017

hi

    I restored one database on Server B with EXTSELCT^DBREST command from   backup file (this backup file is taken from Server A).  

When I execute select some rows from one table,  it return error like this, 

the same select sql can return correct data  in server A

But when I select other rows from same table on Server B, it return correct data.

Why? maybe the backup file corrupted?

Thanks

"SELECT  %SYSTEM.SQL_TableExists('table name') "could work as expected under SQL shell,

but for   "CALL %SYSTEM.SQL_TableExists('table name')" does not work (not any error reported, it just show nothing).

Is there any reason why CALL could not be applied to a stored procedure?

Thanks.

Caché offers a number of methods for going through a collection and doing something with its elements. The easiest method uses a while-loop and lets you fulfill the task in an imperative manner. The developer needs to take care of the iterator, jumping to the next element and checking if the loop is within the collection.


 But is it really what a developer should be concerned with?!

Hi everybody, 

I have to create a pivot that shows the result comparing the last week of the current date with the last week of the last year in the same month. I tried using the function LAG, but didn´t work.  Works only if I want to compare the months between the two years.  If someone has some idea, i will appreciatte a lot. 

Thanks.
