Hi Devs!

Recently, I needed to create templates for newsletters.
I couldn't find any tools, so I decided to use the CSP (Caché Server Pages) to build the templates.

Let's figure out how to make a newsletter similar to Weekly OEX Digest.

Weekly OEX Digest

There are strict requirements for HTML email messages.
Basic requirements:

1. The page should be static;
2. You have to use inline styles for mailer compatibility (so much code);
3. Use custom fonts, some images, etc.

I am a newbie who is trying to learn how to set up a basic connection to Iris using a node js application. I am astounded at the lack of documentation there is on how to do this and even more concerning there are a few errors within the documentation. For example I am on the Native API application within the below link.

https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cl…

And it says that you need to create a directory the thing is that it doesn't state which directory this needs to be or any other history.

trying to lock a table via .Net Command results in IrisExcpetions no mater what i try; 

Documentation says the Command is supported by TSQL Implementation - any known tricks how to implement this comand?

Hi all,
I try to build a little project for the dataset contest, you can find it here on github: Openflights dataset
My plan is to use just plain SQL. So I've made a few experiments with the new feature LOAD DATA.

Unfortunately all loads produce errors like:  
 Error: [SQLCODE: <-400>:<Fatal error occurred>]
[Error: <<UNDEFINED>zExecute+83^%sqlcq.OPENFLIGHTS.cls4.1 *%qparsets>]
[Location: <ServerLoop>]

The statements I use looks like this:

This happend with the preview release "IRIS Version 2021.2.0.617". While this error occurs, most rows are written to the database, but some rows are missing.

For me the best moments were:

1 - Global Masters WON the 2021 Influitive BAMMIE Award for Most Passionate Community

2 - Tech Article contests

3 - InterSystems Programming Contests

4 - 10,000+ DC members

5 - Partner directory and business services

6 - 500+ applications on OEX

7 - Open Virtual Summits

8 - Prizes from GM points

9  - Free online learning courses

10 - Discord channels

11 - Innovations from IRIS Data Platform

12 - Multilanguage communities, including portuguese, spanish and chinese community

13 - Advent of Code

The XData (https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=GOBJ_XDATA) is a powerful feature to set documentation and metadata information for classes and methods. The %CSP.REST class uses XDATA to mapping REST calls (https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=GREST_csprest), so in this article you will see how to use XData into your apps as code, not only as documentation.

When you write XData comments/definitions, the IRIS store it into %Dictionary.ClassDefinition (for classes) %Dictionary.MethodDefinition (for methods).

Hi

I am a very experienced Ensemble and IRIS developer who has spent his entire career either working for InterSystems or with their products. I was a Senior Sales Engineer with InterSystems for 14 years with a further four years working for InterSystems TrakHealth. I started working for the InterSystems UK office and from there I spent several years travelling to InterSystems offices in Europe, Scandinavia, the Middle East, Israel and eventually ending up in the South African office. I moved back to South Africa in 2001.

Hi Community,

We are pleased to invite all the developers to the upcoming InterSystems Datasets Contest Kick-off Webinar! The topic of this webinar is dedicated to the Datasets contest.

In this webinar, we’ll do a quick tour of the new LOAD DATA feature, also chime in on packaging global data or file data with ZPM, and run a data-generation script as part of a method in the zpm install. 

As always, our experts will answer the questions on how to develop, build, and deploy datasets using InterSystems IRIS.

Date & Time: Tuesday, December 28 – 10:00 AM EDT

Speakers:  
🗣 @Benjamin De Boe, Product Manager, InterSystems  
🗣 @Evgeny Shvarov, InterSystems Developer Ecosystem Manager

Where can I download the ODBC35 driver version 2018.1.4 64 bit?

Hi,

In a Business Operation i have the following code.

I need the identity of the latest row inserted in a table in MSSQL.

i Have the following code:

---------------------------------------------------------

set insertmaster= "INSERT INTO dbo.dataMasterArchive(deviceToPatientLogID) values (?)"

set tSC = ..Adapter.ExecuteUpdate(.nrows1,insertmaster,pRequest.deviceToPatientLogID)                                
$$$ThrowOnError(tSC)

set sql ="SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY()"
set tSC = ..Adapter.ExecuteQuery(.tResult,sql)
$$$ThrowOnError(tSC)

set maxID =

Hello.

I want to store a mailbox in Caché, persistently.

Does anyone have some code for downloading all messages from mailbox into Caché? And maybe automatic syncing after download? I know, there is  %Net.POP3 but maybe someone has already done that.

Thank you.

Hi

I'm using a class which extends  %XML.Adaptor adaptor and I want to create an XML file with multiple namespaces, like the following:

<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
</soap>

However, I don't see how to do this with the code I have. So far, I have

 Class GMMHTIE.Docman.Messages.Request.RequestWrapper Extends (%Persistent, %XML.Adaptor)
{
 Parameter XMLNAME = "soap:Envelope";
 Parameter NAMESPACE = "http://www.w3.

Hey everyone,

So it's time to announce the best of them!

For those that, at some point, need to test what means that of ECP for horizontal escalability (computing power and/or users and processes concurrency), but they're lazy o have no much time to build the environment, configure the server nodes, etc..., I've just published in Open Exchange the app/sample OPNEx-ECP Deployment .

UnitedHealth Group is looking for an IRIS expert to help guide our development team, providing subject matter expertise and sound software design skills.

This is a permanent, full-time, 100% telecommuting position.  The job will be a mixture of software design, consulting and hands-on development.  The ideal candidate will have excellent communication skills, a solid understanding of computer science and be an energetic team player.

I need iterate multiple times the same ResultSet. How can I do a rewind on it?

Does someone knows if any Studio version or, if in its new versions, it will be able to recognize new Javascript statements like arrow function, let, const etc ?

let there be less <UNDEFINED> or <SUBSCRIPT> Errors in my life.

Hi developers!

We launched the datasets contest.

And one of the important questions that need to be covered is dataset licensing.

There are two general cases:

a) a dataset you take from another place in public Internet or private network/person.

b) a dataset you create by yourself or own for any other reason.

We decided to follow the principles and considerations that data.world site introduces for datasets' licensing.

Hi all

We are looking into automating worklist report SQL queries that we run manually on InterSystems IRIS platform but we would like to have them run on a Java application.

This means we must have a way to get our java application to talk to IRIS in order for those queries to run. Please advise on how to go about this?

Regards,

Ephraim Malane

We have an interface that need to be disabled then re-enabled when it starts to queue up. I wrote the following code to do this functionality in a process. This works in our development domain, but in production it says it fails to disable the job - it only shuts down the interface without updating the production/starting the interface back up. Error message: "Failed to stop job '36831290' within 60 seconds. Status '<unknown>" 

Is there something wrong with how I'm trying to do this? 

set tSC = ##class(Ens.Director).EnableConfigItem(itemname,0,0) 

set tSC = ##class(Ens.Director).

I need to send the data from a view that returned NULL, but is going as empty. The fields are of type String.

I'm using: 

 SET tSC  = ##Class(%ZEN.Auxiliary.jsonProvider).%WriteJSONStreamFromObject(.tSteamJson,pObj,,,,"e")

If one of your packages on OEX receives a review you get notified by OEX only on YOUR package.
​​​So @Evgeny Shvarov  suggested publishing my monthly summary of my reviews here in DC.
It reflects my experience with the status I found at the time of my review.
