Hey Community!

We're excited to introduce a new way to interact with the Developer Community AI — you can now have a real conversation with it!

Instead of just asking one-off questions, you can chat with DC AI in a more natural, back-and-forth format. This way, whether you're exploring InterSystems technologies, debugging code, or learning something new, DC AI is here to help, just like a fellow developer.

Hello Community,

When I run the following code with x undefined in terminal, it throws a syntax error and returns control to the program stack. After issuing a GO command, execution continues, and setting the global variable ^zz1.

code 1:

I am creating a class to validate JSON body of requests. When I use the method %ValidateObject to check errors in the object, if I define some properties with %DynamicObject or %DynamicArray and use the Required parameter, this method does not work, it ignores validation, only works with properties %String, %Integer etc.

we've set up a new RHEL server 7.9

I was able to get the portal to work partially from running this command

[root@facsp1 DSA200]# firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=57772/tcp --permanent
success

though as I said it was partial. any idea where else I need to change to make this work?

thanks

Paul

Hey Community,

It's time for the new batch of #KeyQuestions from the previous month.

Hey everyone,

I'm diving deeper into Caché ObjectScript and would love to open a discussion around the most useful tips, tricks, and best practices you’ve learned or discovered while working with it.

Whether you're an experienced developer or just getting started, ObjectScript has its own set of quirks and powerful features—some well-documented, others hidden gems. I’m looking to compile a helpful set of ideas from the community.

Some areas I’m especially interested in:

Hi,

I have Objectscript routine stored in an external Linux file which I've called /my/home/DisplayDB.int

This file does not include any Class definitions and is simply a set a Object script routines. I think this is called INT objectscript

The file looks like this:

Hi Developers,

We are happy to announce the new InterSystems online programming contest dedicated to creating useful tools to make your fellow developers' lives easier:

🏆 InterSystems Developer Tools Contest 🏆

Duration: July 14 - August 3, 2025

Prize pool: $12,000

We have classes in a Production environment that are causing us some issues - example attached.

When we export them from the production environment the XML contains a snippet like the following:

<UDLText name="T">
<Content><![CDATA[
//Property any As list Of %XML.String(XMLNAME = "any", XMLPROJECTION = "ANY") [ SqlFieldName = _any ];

]]></Content>
</UDLText>

When imported and compiled into an Ensemble instance this class works as expected.

Hi,

I've a list of running scheduled task in task manger and would to crate a tasks to monitor if any of my tasks has stopped running, is there a function to check tasks status?

Thanks

Hello guys,

I need to tranform columns into rows or rows into columns.

I'm using only SQL Cache.

The code:

SELECT
    codRepresentante
    ,vendasAbril
    ,vendasAgosto
FROM
    Ped.MetasRepresen
WHERE ano = 2024

The columns:

***Restoring /opt/iris2024/mgr/user/ at 15:06:28
1 blocks restored in 0.0 seconds for this pass, 1 total restored.***Restoring /opt/iris2024/mgr/user/ at 15:06:28
1 blocks restored in 0.0 seconds for this pass, 2 total restored.***Restoring /opt/iris2024/mgr/user/ at 15:06:28
1 blocks restored in 0.0 seconds for this pass, 3 total restored.Mounting /opt/iris2024/mgr/user/
/opt/iris2024/mgr/user/ ... (Mounted)[Journal not applied to any directory]

What does it mean that the last line after recovery shows 'Journal not applied to any directory '.
