The data type %Char or %Library.Char

The description says it is a fixed length character field.

How do I set the fixed length?

Or by just setting %Char to something, does that automatically define its length?

Are the parameters MINLEN, MAXLEN involved? Or are these the way I set the fixed length?

Any help with this?

In a previous exercise, I was able to show the power of Caché.
A medium-designed set of interdependent tables with some GB of data.
URLs cross reference over some million pages resulting in ~3 billion records

Competition was between

• Caché
• PostgreSQL
• MySQL

Criteria were Speed + Storage consumption
I composed  a customized loader fed over a "raw" TCP connection
Mapping the "objects" into the final table by directly writing to Global Storage.,

Hi, Community!

I just have introduced new tag Indexing which relates to articles and questions on how to introduce, manage and increase performance with Indexing on Caché Objects.

Hi,

I use cache 5.0 and access cache through OpenVMS.

The disk-space under a particular namespace has grown up in size due to cache.dat. How to recreate cache.dat to bring up more space back on disk?

Hi Everybody

Question , I need to define a user that will be limited to only to one namespace.

I defined the start up namespace in the user's definition , but it doesn't limit the user.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you Simcha

When using the search field on this site, sorting by 'Relevancy' shows same results as when sorting by 'Newest first', and it seems that results are really sorted by newest first. A bug maybe?

Are these search filter options supposed  to  be exposed?  They seem like they are some sort of system description that should not be exposed to the general public?

suggestions to try to make the searching of the community better, more relevent

I've been searching within the community for an article about troubleshoting SQL's working out how efficient they are, and how to look inside the system for other SLQ's that we used but may be inefficient,  (still haven't found it, and getting frustrated)

In this instance, after many guesses, I tried

sql "how to" analyze plan tutorial efficiency inefficient troubleshooting highest

I know I've seen the article about this very subject, but it's getting darned hard to find things in the community.

Searching the developer community for the string "node.js" leads to navigating to the following URL: https://community.intersystems.com/search/all/node.js for which the browser receives the "404 NOT FOUND" error response. The behavior is consistent for any search string ending on ".js" or ".css" (not sure whether there any other suffixes affected). Please fix the DC to handle such search strings appropriately.

Hi, Community!

I'm pleased to announce that we deployed a new release of Developer Community.

This release comes with improved Search.

The updated search feature introduces full-text scan, auto complete for the key words, filters on articles, questions, comments, members and works faster.

Here is the small video on how it works.

Also, we fixed a few bugs and made DC faster.

Hope you like it! 

Stay tuned for the next release and introduce your issues here in comments or and enhancement requests and other issues in the DC Feedback group!

Hi, folks!

There is an interesting discussion in the neighboring topic which raises a question for me: is there any reason to have %Status as a return value for COS method?

Hello All,

While extracting the huge amount of data in the cache through the Zen page, file extraction timing is greater than session time out. How to increase the session timing in Zen/CSP gateway or If any other solution would be appreciated.  Please advise.

Major difference between GOTO and do command?

I have a Caché server with external apache.

It has a hostname, i.e.: http://myserver.com

There is an index page, which is available over http://myserver.com/index.html (/ is a Caché CSP app)

How can I make index.html available from http://myserver.com?

Here's the relevant parts of my apache config:

Okay, so I ran into a rather odd bug. I have a remote test machine (tst-intersystems) running for which I accidently opened a lot of windows in my Studio (i.e. 500+). The result is that the studio runs out of memory and crashes. Now, every time I try to connect to this remote machine studio immediately attempts to open all windows effectively not allowing me to start studio anymore.

Hi, Community!

Due to increasing number of new questions and articles regarding containerization, docker, microservices we've introduced certain tags. Subscribe and use it in your postings.

If you have any ideas for new tags to be introduced, please add your ideas in comments.

In this short article we talk about how to get Yape running in a docker container to avoid having to setup python on your machine.

It's been a while since the last article in this series, so let's recap quickly.

We talked about using matplotlib to create a basic graph. Afterwards we introduced dynamic graphs using bokeh. In the 3rd part we talked about generating heatmaps using monlbl data.

GIS stands for Geographic Information System.
  and it's not a typical arena for Caché. But it's definitely an environment with high data volume.
You see 3 major areas

- Visual front end:
   A mature area well covered by a bunch of commercial and open source products.
   No need for Caché there.

- GIS mathematics:  
  JTS (Java Topology Suite)  is fixed standard that covers all requirements and can be linked to Caché by the Java Gateway
or the C, C++ incarnation of this standard library using Caché Call Out Gateway.
  So far no added value by Caché.

I don't know what a problem with my cache cube terminal, but cyrillic text is not displayed correctly.

I have some terminal program with cyrillic menus, dialogs and other text and all those items are displayed wrong (unknown symbols like on the image).

How can I solve this problem?

Hi, Community!

I'm pleased to invite you to InterSystems Community Meetup we would have in Cambridge on 8th  of August.

Hi,

I learning Cache Rest Services and I trying to implement it.

I learned get method in rest services.
I need to know How to get raw data (like json, xml, text....etc.) when we post the rest services?

Thank you

I'm purging a lot of management data from an Ensemble production, which is creating 100s of GBs of journals. Has anybody succeeded in disabling journaling on an Ensemble purge? The user interface doesn't have an option for this, but I'm thinking you might be able to identify the process and externally disable journaling on it.

Hi, colleagues!

Consider you need to put some (less  than 1GB) data to an indexed array and do some data manipulations and calculations with it.

Should I prefer global or local for it?

Is there any general rule when local is faster than global and vice-versa?

In reviewing the documentation found here, it states that there is an Attributes property. Since this is an array, I was wondering how I would go about traversing through the array to review what attributes are available on the file.

Hi Community!

Please find the Developer Community Video of the week:

Failover for Cloud and Wide-Area Networks 

I am running a ZBREAK trace on a legacy FDBMS application that uses arrays but rather than displaying the array value contents, I am seeing logs similar to the following.

Trace: ZBREAK SET LINE=Array Val at BIOPWR+6^BIOPWR

My ZBREAK trace settings are as follows: 

ZBREAK /TRACE:ON:"/somedir/trace1.log"
ZBREAK *LINE:"T"

Hello.

I'm using device redirection to intercept incoming writes and need to figure a smart way to detect when to CLRF in order to prevent misleading outputs.
So basically, if the intercepted write ends with !, I need to know that and prevent my routine from writing ! as well.
Here's the source code for it:
 

Hello,

I have a series of data organized by time (year and month) so I can use a time dimension to drill down data. So far so good.

However, I need to display the data not by calendar years and months but rather by seasons. The season has 12 calendar months but starts in September. So I'd like to see the data from September / Year N to August / Year N+1 using the same hierarchy as normal time dimension.

Has anyone done something similar?

Obviously, the season can start by any month, not only September :)

TIA!
