We heard from a customer who wanted to display a version number as a read-only production setting. During the build on the build server, this version number is added to the Production class. This works fine, and the Version is displayed in the Portal, but the customer wanted to write protect it, so the enduser can’t change it.

Looking at a property defined as follows:

Property SystemTime As %Library.TimeStamp [ SqlComputeCode = {Set {*}=$ZDATETIME($NOW(),3,1,0)}, SqlComputed ];

The documentation talks about using SqlComputed and SqlComputeCode with SqlComputeOnChange (specifying which events will trigger computation), and about using them with the Calculated keyword (so it's always computed). I don't see any specific explanation of the case above, though, when neither SqlComputeOnChange nor Calculated is specified.

This post is intended to share how we have implemented HL7 v.2.x in XML format in several Ensemble projects.

We have added to our local InterSystems Iberia GitHub repository a package which uses an approach that takes advantage of EnsLib.HL7.Message class.

Given the following code:

I get <UNDEFINED>start+4^DeploymentTool *tstVar
 

I also tried setting the variable outside the start method but that doesn't work either.  I realize I could pass tstVar to the TestIt() routine but I'm trying to create a couple variables that will be reused repeatedly so that doesn't really work.

Hello,

I am trying to log the output of csession in Linux. I try this command:

csession cache | tee myoutput.log

Although it works each new lines at screen output doesn't appear at row 1...

Any tip?

I am pleased to announce the third 2016.2 field test kit, 2016.2.0.590.0.

In the week since the last field test posting Development has made over a hundred fixes and improvements in Atelier, Enterprise Manager, Ensemble and Caché.  Unlike the previous field test kit, though, in which the changes were distributed evenly over multiple areas and products, in this kit over half of the changes are associated just with Atelier.

Please download the kit and give it a try; the latest field test of 2016.2 is available HERE.  And, as always, we welcome your feedback.

I've searched the ObjectScript reference for any instances of Upper, Lower or Case and the only thing is a case/switch statement.  In all the documentation I can only find SQL and Cache Basic references for things like UCASE.

So how do I do this in ObjectScript?

For instance,  if (ucase(dtype)="G") { }

Has anyone come up with a way to create a separate thread of processing that can achieve shared access to a set of objects created from the initials process?  The situation is this.  There is a large complex set of objects representing a business process.  Some of these objects are in-memory only.  The desire is to spin off a separate thread that could do some ancillary processing on this data set without slowing down the main process.   Any thoughts?

Hi!

Are there any plans to support Kerberos authentication in Atelier to Caché connection?

Thank you.

Most of projects on Caché, obviously, written not only in Cache ObjectScript, and should contain sources in other languages. Such as js or css for web-projects or any others. And it would be pretty good, if I could see all of files in one project, and possible to edit all of them. How to be in this case ?

And I think it is not a good idea, to place all project's sources in one root folder. Our project contains over 3 thousands classes and routines, and it is too difficult to find anything in such folder. Is not a good for it to use Java-way, and place every package in subfolder ?

Is it seconds or what?  The default is 15  

Do to unforseen circumstances the Atelier build that was distributed with the Cache 2016.2 field test had certain incompatibilites which prevented it's effective use with the server that it was bundled with.

We are working on remediating this regretable situation and will provide a compatible Atelier in the 2016.2 field test refresh which is scheduled for today Monday, 1st of Februrary.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience so caused.

Hi,

Do you know how to export SQL errors to a text file from a terminal session in Caché?

Thanks

I'm designing a workflow for PHR via FTP.  What I've done is create a single FTP adapter to pick up files from multiple customers.  A router then accesses a lookup table and determines if a particular customer is allowed to send a particular message type to the state.  If not, the message doesn't go out.  It seems like everyone is against this approach (other than my CEO, thankfully), including Intersystems:

Are there any plans to translate Atelier to other languages (e.g. Russian) ?

Hi, 

is it possible to integrate a csp file as the default page in the IIS 7?

I want reach http://localhost/csp/sys/UtilHome.csp over http://localhost/

Bill McCormick wrote in the GoogleGroup 

"There was a known problem with this in the 5.0 release and has been 

fixed. It will never work out of the box. You have to define a CSP 

application of the name "/" - the config manager used to invalidate this 

but putting it in the cpf worked - I forget if that is fixed or not. 

After that it should all just work. Feel free to log an issue with 

support if it still fails in anyway.

I am pleased to announce the next in the series of 2016.2 field test kits, 2016.2.0.585.0.

In the two weeks since the last field test posting Development has made over a hundred fixes and improvements in Atelier, Enterprise Manager, Ensemble and Caché.

In Atelier alone there were over a dozen changes including a fix for the incompatibility issue that Jamie Newton described in his posting of February 1.

What do you do if you want to have the ID field have a meaningful name for your application? 

Sometimes it comes to pass that when you're making a new table that you want to have the unique row identifier (a.k.a. IDKEY) to be a field that has a name that is meaningful for your data.  Moreover, sometimes you want to set this value directly.  Caché fully supports this functionality and it works   Suppose you have a class Test.Kyle.  The data will be stored like so:

^Test.Kyle(IDKEY)=$LB("",Field1,Field2,.

Some third party backup products may by default restore CACHE.DAT files as UNIX sparse files when there are trailing zeroes in the backup file.

The support for sparse files vary from UNIX distribution and file system types.  Sparse files attempt to use file system space more efficiently when blocks allocated to the file are mostly empty similar to thin-provisioned storage.  The file system transparently converts metadata representing empty blocks into "real" blocks filled with zero bytes at runtime. The application is suppose to be unaware of this conversion.

Hi,

I created with Studio a persistent class with the following field and index:

Property DescriptionDemande As %String(MAXLEN = "");

Index IDXBASDescriptionDemande On (DescriptionDemande) As %iFind.Index.Basic(INDEXOPTION = 1, LANGUAGE = "fr", LOWER = 1);

INDEXOPTION is set to 1 for activating stemming. I'm indexing french  documents. I have set lower to 1 because I want to do non case sensitive search.

Do you need to quickly build a web page to interact with your database? 

Take a look at these two courses to learn how Zen Mojo can help you display collections and make your collections respond to user interactions.

Displaying Collections and Using the Zen Mojo Documentation

Learn the steps for displaying a collection of Caché data on a Zen Mojo page, find crucial information in the Zen Mojo documentation, and find sample code in the Widget Reference. Learn More.

As of this morning, 38 companies had already grabbed a copy of Ensemble or Caché  (Caché is more popular by about 3:1 ratio) to explore the new features of 2016.2.

Thanks - we look forward to hearing your feedback.

Is there a recommended way to deal with the unattended reboot that happens when Windows Updates are applied?  These reboots cause issues with running Ensemble produtions.

Attached to this post is a PDF document outlining some of the key enhancements included with 2016.2. I will be giving a WebEx session that is open to all tomorrow at 11 AM EST. Once the WebEx is over I will be adding a link to the recording for those who cannot attend.

Hi,

I created an iKnow domain, where I supplied dictionaries, blacklist, metadata and stemming. The datasource is a table.

I would like to use iFind semantic search feature. It is said in the documentation that iFind use iKnow semantic analysis. But I want iFind to use the iKnow  domain configuration I created earlier earlier. How can I do that ?

Regards,

Jack Abdo.

Hi!

Is there any simple way to query data about processed messages in all Ensemble productions?

What I ultimately would like to do is to periodically export that data to another system and run statistics on it.

I've been digging around in the SQL tables view and Ens.MessageHeader seems to contain most of what I'm after.

Using ODBC I could access that table view and query data, but only for one namespace per DSN it seems.

Can Ens.MessageHeader from different namespaces be mapped into a single namespace so that it can be accessed with ODBC?

The object and relational data models of the Caché database support three types of indexes, which are standard, bitmap, and bitslice. In addition to these three native types, developers can declare their own custom types of indexes and use them in any classes since version 2013.1. For example, iFind text indexes use that mechanism.

Is there a possibility to map a CSP page residing in namespace ABC to a namespace XYZ so you could access it as if executing from XYZ: http://localhost:57772/csp/xyz/MyPage.csp ? Some odd cocktail of web application and package mappings that could make this happen?

The idea is to keep the CSP page in sort of a read-only namespace that only contains code, with the data residing in another namespace. This works for zen pages, but not for CSP.

Oracle plans to deprecate the much-maligned Java browser plugin in JDK 9. For years, the bundled plugin put users at risk with its numerous security flaws. The web is clearly moving to a plugin-free state, which is a good direction.

If you are relying on the Java browser plugin, you should take a look at Java Web Start.

Here is the official blog post by Oracle:
