When exporting using the Export() method of the %Library.Global class, if the export format (fourth argument: OutputFormat) is set to 7, "Block format/Caché block format (%GOF)," mapped globals cannot be exported (only globals in the default global database of the namespace are exported). To export mapped globals in "Block format/Caché block format (%GOF)," specify the database directory to which you want to map them in the first parameter of %Library.Global.Export().
An example of execution is shown below.

What is XML?
XML(eXtensible Markup Language) is a flexible, text-based, andplatform-independentformat used to store and transport data in a well-structured way that is both human- and machine-readable. XML permits users to define custom tags to describe the meaning and organization of their data. For example: <book><title>The Hitchhiker's Guide</title></book>.
An XML document is self-descriptive and structured as a hierarchical tree of elements. Every document has a single root element that encapsulates all other content.

Hello cpf fans! This distraction I used the "seed" capability in IRIS to provision an entire IrisCluster mirror, 4 maps wide with compute starting from an IRIS.DAT in a galaxy far far away. This is pretty powerful if you have had a great deal of success with a solution running on a monolithic implementation and want it to scale to the outer rim with Kubernetes and the InterSystems Kubernetes Operator. Even though my midichlorian count is admittely low, I have seen some hardcore CACHE hackers shovel around DATS, compact and shrink and update their ZROUTINES, so this same approach could also be helpful shrinking and securing your containerized workload too. If you squint and feel all living things around you, you can see a glimpse of in place (logical) mirroring in the future as a function of the operator and a migration path to a fully operational mirrored Death Star as the workload matures.

IRIS offers a dedicated feature for storing and retrieving JSON documents using DocDB, without requiring a predefined schema.
Developers often need a quick and intuitive way to browse, create, and edit documents without switching between multiple tools or writing repetitive code. To solve this, I created iris-docdb-ui — a CSP-based open-source application that provides a clean, responsive interface for interacting with DocDB effortlessly.
Over time, while I was working with Interoperability on the IRIS Data Platform, I developed rules for organizing a project code into packages and classes. That is what is called a Naming Convention, usually. In this topic, I want to organize and share these rules. I hope it can be helpful for somebody.
Disclaimer: This guide is a good fit for Interoperability projects. When you have integrations, data flows, when you use IRIS for ETL processes, etc. Overall, when your code is combined with Productions.

For example, I'm creating a customer at front end interface. I want to list down all the routines and child sub routines that are called at backend in mumps/cache. What's the best way to do it?
Yes, that's right, a Cache 2017.1 question. Let's all take a trip in the Wayback Machine.
The company I'm working for is in the process of starting to use the %UnitTest framework, and we are experiencing some errors in the code with some existing logic. Long story short, it looks like the best way to handle the issue would be to recognize we're executing the job as a part of a unit test. Is there any sort of variable or property that can be checked to confirm the process is indeed executing a unit test?
Only method/routine executed as "do Method..." is included into $ESTACK.
How can I modify a method or routine that returns a value so it can be included in $ESTACK?
Example upon executing via Studio Debug ($ESTACK is converted to string with ">" delimiter):
Expected: stackstr = %Debugger.System.DebugStub > LogGenerate > Entry > DirChain > Attributes > LogNew > LogSize > LogFormat > LogWrite
Processes DirChain, LogNew, LogSize, LogFormat are executed as "If Method..."
Process Attributes is executed as "set a = Attributes..."
Current: stackstr = %Debugger.

Hi everyone,
I'm dealing with a situation where LOAD DATA operations — especially large batches with data inconsistencies — are consuming a lot of disk space. I've noticed that the same error messages are being repeatedly logged in the %SQL_Diag.Result and %SQL_Diag.Message tables, which is significantly increasing the size of the database.
One idea was to move these diagnostic tables to a separate database with a configured size limit, but before going down that path, I'd like to ask:
Is there a simpler or more efficient way to handle this?
For example:
Hello,
I am currently facing the task of retrieving or sending HL7 messages from a web API. Since we only send HL7 messages via internal sockets, web APIs are relatively new to me.
The following is my plan for the new interface:
I have created a new custom business service that periodically sends requests to a business process. In this business process, the HTTP request (HTTP.GenericMessage) is then created from scratch. The special feature is the "Authorisation" header field, where a signature is inserted, which consists of a base64-encoded hash value.
Environment:
Targeted *.inc file (with hundreds of defined macros) is in use throughout the application and included into every class declaration.
Statement "set a = $$$TestIf(3)" is included into a classmethod with no other code in. Expected output 5
Same macro options in *.inc:
#define TestIf(%arr) if %arr>0 QUIT 5
#define TestIf(%arr) if (%arr>0) {QUIT 5}
Issue:
failure to compile class with the same error on all tried definition options as:

Yes, yes! Welcome! You haven't made a mistake, you are in your beloved InterSystems Developer Community in Spanish.
You may be wondering what the title of this article is about, well it's very simple, today we are gathered here to honor the Inquisitor and praise the great work he performed.
Perfect, now that I have your attention, it's time to explain what the Inquisitor is. The Inquisitor is a solution developed with InterSystems technology to subject public contracts published daily on the platform https://contrataciondelestado.es/ to scrutiny.
Am also asking this question on the extension's GitHub page: Request textDocument/documentSymbol failed. Error: name must not be falsy · intersystems-community/vscode-objectscript · Discussion #1530 - but suspect more eyes will see it here, which might help gather additional information.
Tried to compile some legacy ObjectScript code via Import/Compile in VS Code using the vscode-objectscript extension. Getting an error, and the content of the file is left changed on the filesystem simply by being compiled.
