Java Business Services and Operations
In Ensemble 2016.3 ‘Java Business Hosts’ provides the means to create new Business Services and Business Operations using Java without need for any ObjectScript coding. There are two major reasons to use this capability:
If I have a cache.dat file from a Windows 2012 (64-bit) machine and I want to mount it on a Caché instance running on RHEL, will it work? Assume the versions of Caché are the same.
Hello, I'm new to Ensemble, and my first task is to become familiar with the Production and create a basic outline of it for the users to view (which servers, where are the input files, where are the output files, how many records...). What are the Production tables? I'd like to start there.
Thanks,
Laura
Hi.
I'm facing a problem when I try to use the Runtime Expression below inside the XData Contents:
<html>#($$$Text("Testing!"))#</html>
It compiles correctly, but when I open the page on the browser I get the message "Expression Error" instead of "Testing!".
How could I use the $$$Text macro with Runtime Expressions? Is there a way to make this?
Thanks!
Some Mac users have noticed "smart quotes" or "curly quotes" appearing in the browser-based Ensemble editors within Atelier. Specifically, typing "" may result in the output “” instead of the normal double quote characters.
This is happening because of a Mac OS X "smart quote" feature. Many applications have their own options to override this, but Eclipse does not (that we've seen, at least). The workaround is to disable "smart quotes" at the OS level. For instructions on how to do so, see: http://www.iclarified.com/38772/how-to-disable-curly-quotes-in-mac-os-x-mavericks
Post updated in August 2025 to include links to IRIS.
I have seen customer problems where the use of a virus scanner running over Caché or IRIS databases was causing intermittent application slowdowns and bad user response times.
This is a surprisingly common problem, so this short post is just a reminder to exclude key Caché and IRIS components from your virus scanning.
Generally, virus scanning must exclude the CACHE.DAT or IRIS.DAT database files and the InterSystems binaries. If an anti-virus is scanning *.DAT
Hello, one of our application partner, is considering modernizing their old CSP laboratory portal by using Zen Mojo with Bootstrap. They have a lot of experience with COS, CSP and some ZEN. They are new to REST/JSON and have some limited knowledge of javascript - perhaps not enough to the extent used by client framework.
NewBie's Corner Session: 5 Operator Precedence
Welcome to NewBie's Corner, a weekly or biweekly post covering basic Caché Material.
Click on the Caché Cube in your system tray and select Terminal to try out the commands.
Order Precedence means the order in which mathematical operators are executed. In a Mathematical expression, you may have Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction, and Division. Which of these are executed first, second, third, etc.
Has anyone tried to extract a Microsoft SQL Image Column into a JPG file using Ensemble? We currently have a Microsoft SQL Integration Services job that exports a SQL Image column into a JPG and then resizes it. I would like to get this job off of Microsoft so the rest of our team can support it and wondered if we could do it in Cache Object Script using Ensemble.
Thanks

I need to call Ensemble Business Operation by sending authorised (basic auth, cache user) HTTP request (REST-like). How can I achieve that?
Maybe configure a Business Service, but which one has this functionality?
Hi,
Our Cache server(version 5.0.15) has recently crashed. We are in the process of recovery. We had replaced the server's hard disk and trying to install the cache(5.0.15) But getting the following error. Any body show some light on the issue.
CctrlInstallStartCP( CACHE ) failed! Return value: 1 CctrlGetLastError() returned:
A problem was encountered while attempting to restore the write image journal file (CACHE.WIJ). See the console log for more information. If you want to start Cache without restoring the write image journal, move the file to an alternate location.
I'm pleased to see the new Source Control menu in the recent 1.0.165 build. This gives me access to the features of the same server-side source control class as Studio has always supported. It is particularly relevant for our Deltanji source control tool.
Our class makes use of CSP to serve up some dialogs through which the user controls the source control operation. Two observations so far:
1. In Atelier the window you display our CSPs isn't resizable. In Studio it is.
2. Atelier isn't detecting the page we send that's supposed to close the dialog.
I am wish to use the mapping widget provided with DeepSee with my own Google license. What is the best way to make this happen?
(I apologize if this is a duplicate. My first attempt did not seem to get posted)
I just used Help\Check for Updates and updated my Atelier from 1.0.158 to 1.0.165. Is there any information published about what's new/fixed in this compared to previous public builds? Having that information might help us target our testing and so increase the value of our feedback to you.
Hi everyone!
I am helping a partner to develop a new application and one of the things we are facing is that this WEB application will be used on different time zones.
My first recommendation is that all timestamps should be drawn from $ZTimeStamp instead of $Horolog. That would allow the system to be draw the correct sequence of events even when they are generated on different timezones.
Hi!
I am trying to create a %Installer script and I noticed from our documentation that %Installer's <CSPAuthentication> will only accept:
<CSPApplication> Optional; within <Namespace>. Defines one or more CSP applications; the supported authentication flags are 4 (Kerberos), 32 (Password), and 64 (Unauthenticated).
Is "Delegated" authentication supported? What is it's code?
Kind regards,

NewBie's Corner Session 4 The Plus Sign and Concatenation Operators
Welcome to NewBie's Corner, a weekly or biweekly post covering basic Caché Material.
Click on the Caché Cube in your system tray and select Terminal to try out the commands.
Plus Sign (+) operator
Typically, the Plus sign (+) adds two numbers together. This is true in COS (Caché ObjectScript), but COS uses it in other ways as well.
Set the variable X to a value of +12
Set the variable X to the value of +"ABC"
Here, the Set command sets the variable X to +"
Hi everyone!
I am trying to choose the best collation for a new application that will be running on a spanish locale (Chile).
I can see there are database collations for Spanish1, Spanish2, Spanish4 and Spanish5. What is the difference between them? I can't find anything on our documentation. Should I simply choose the latest (Spanish5)?
Kind regards,
Amir Samary

Hi -
Let's say I want to override the HTML that is generated by provided ZEN Mojo Helper Plugins I use the onloadHandler method of my document page, retrieving elements, and modifying them using jQuery syntax.
For example, I'm using bootstrap, and, I want the <button> element automatically generated with the use of the $navbar layout object, to collapse/expand a different <DIV> on my page, to the default one it produces.
Is this the correct spot and approach to use ?
thanks

Good morning, I am using a tableNavigatorBar on a tablepane. I want to execute the onselectrow method of the tablepane each time the tableNavigatorBar is used to proceed to a tablepane record. Has anyone connected these two component in this way before? Thank you for any hints, input and/or comments.

Hello!
I am trying to install Caché 2016 on a Debian Jessie machine; so I downloaded the latest release from WRC, OS RHEL x86_64, in tarball format.
I untarred it, then launched cinstall; unfortunately a library was missing. I then elected to kill all the processes (which wasn't easy), remove the two users created, and start again.
Unfortunately, for some reason, when I relaunch the install again, the install process still detects the old instance which I installed previously.
Consider a design where there could be three or four or more servers and there is a need to have these eventually consistent between them all (and not considering database mirroring here).
The current Caché documentation here demonstrates this well using object synchronization between two servers, however it doesn't indicate whether more than two servers can participate to create a "mesh type" deployment. Below is a diagram of what I'm curious to know is possible to implement with Object Synchronization.
Hi All,
I am providing support to an AP about using document criteria on Multiple Templates (Explicit Dispatch).
I am trying to set the criteria value from:
view.setDocumentKey('initial-search',{patirntId:tPatId});However it is not possible to get the criteria value on %GetJSONContent through pCriteria parameter object.
How can I do this with Multiple Templates on bootstrap plugin?
Thanks.
Hi,
My name is Sergio Fernandes and I'm from Brazil.
I would like to know how can i use MVBasic at Cache Terminal or .csp.

NewBie's Corner Session 2 Variables Set and Write commands
Welcome to NewBie's Corner, a weekly or biweekly post covering basic Caché Material.
Session 2 – Click on the Caché Cube in your system tray and select Terminal to try out the commands.
Variables
Like other computer programming languages, Caché uses Variables and the values they represent to control programming. Variables are elements that represent data values. Manipulating and interrogating variables is at the root of programming.
Hi all,
I have a dashboard which shows the growth of the months compared with the month from the last year.
The way I found to develop that, it was with a kpi. So, I overrode the %OnLoadKPI method with two mdx:
SELECT NON EMPTY [DataD].[H1].[MothYear].Members ON ROWS, [Measures].[CountVisits] ON COLUMNS FROM SubjectAtendimento %FILTER [DataD].[H1].[Year].&[2016]
SELECT NON EMPTY [DataD].[H1].[MonthYear].Members ON ROWS, [Measures].[CountVisits] ON COLUMNS FROM SubjectAtendimento %FILTER [DataD].[H1].[Year].&[2015]
And then, I set the %.
Hello, our customer, large industrial company, is considering modernizing their old CSP application so it can run on multiple client device types, using responsive design.
They have a lot of experience with CSP and some ZEN.
They are new to REST and have some limited knowledge of javascript - perhaps not enough to the extent used by client framework.
Does anyone have a framework or a set of templates that you would be willing to share?
Thank you!
