Question P Patz · Nov 19, 2017

I have a query that I am attempting to run, but inner query is being rolled up into the overall query - per the optimizer (and jobexam observation).  While I know that if the inner query runs first, I will eliminate a number of records (making the result set smaller, and return quicker).

Just an example of what I am attempting to do:

select Account.Name, Account.State, Transaction.Amt, Transaction.Date, Transaction.Service
from Transaction 
left join Account 
    on Account.Id = Transaction.Account  
where Account.Id in (
    Select Account.Name
     from Account
     where Account.Type is not null

Question Joe Schra · Oct 24, 2017

Hello All,

I am looking to send out an email based on a patient's discharge where PID13-4 contains their email. We are currently using something similar with an Email.OutboundAdapter. However, in our current scenario we have a hard coded email in place as the recipient (as this is for order notification to a pager).  In the scenario in question, I would need PID13-4 to populate as the recipient of the email.  Does anyone have an example of something similar, or a suggestion on where to start?

Thanks!

The challenge of day 20 is about a list of integer ranges. Some ranges overlap,  but there are also values that are outside any range.

You have to find out what is the lowest integer that is outside any range.

Today's challenge is a variation on the White Elephant gift exchange (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_elephant_gift_exchange), in this case, by a bunch of Elves where only one can have all gifts.


Each Elf brings a present. They all sit in a circle, numbered starting with position 1. Then, starting with the first Elf, they take turns stealing all the presents from the Elf to their left

You walk into a room, step on a tile and hear a loud click...

Traps !

The challenge is about avoiding traps.

You can recognise if a tile is a trap by following scheme :

The first row is a given : a safe tile is shown as . and a trap is shown as ^
For the next rows, the state of a tile is calculated related to the tiles in the previous row (same position, tile left and tile right).

The maze has a bunch of doors ( | and - on the drawing), but they can be locked depending on a hash that you need to calculate every step. When you visit a location a second time, the lock on each door can be differe

Question Mike Northrop · Nov 16, 2017

I'm trying to write a method to Export SQL Privileges from an instance by namespace, user, or roles. I've found two classes that might work:

  • ##class(Security.Users).Export
  • ##class(Security.SQLPrivileges).Export

One (Security.Users) exports an XML file and the other (Security.SQLPrivileges) exports an SQL file.

Neither of these options allows me to specify specific users or roles to export so I'll have to use them in tandem with something else. Is there something else that I should be using or do I need to find a way to filter on the backend with regular expressions or the like?

I'm looking for information, suggestions, video (courses) on make a lot more use of the documatic system already built into Cache,

Probably talked of before within this forum, but after an hour or two of searching, can't find the articles that I mmay have seen before.

I want to do a lot more documenting of my installation, we use and actively comment classes and methods, but I want to take it further by actually documenting the "why" and high level "how" my system works. Documatic seems a good place to put that knowledge.

This may, but probably not after your suggestions, involve creating a class

Question Brian Downing · Nov 15, 2017

Can anyone suggest suitable Cache ObjectScript syntax for open/use/read statements on a simple ms-dos text file.
I've tried various examples seen on the web but they appear to be implementation specific.
I used MSM MUMPS many years ago but am now retired & would like to write a few simple routines for my own amusement & mental challenge.
I am using the free Version of Cache (V 2017.1) on my Windows 10 PC. The installation file was CachePCkit_x64.exe
My apologies for this query being very basic.

Question Victor Li · Nov 12, 2017

Hello Caché Guru,

I'm new to Cache system. I'm trying to do something like saving meta data in Relational DB:

I could use "management portal" -> System Explorer->SQL to view individual table's catalog details or print out the column definition. However I need to gather those information for several hundreds of tables in the DB. Is there a way to do it using command line in kind of batching mode?

Any hint and tip is very much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Question Jessica Ting Wing Yuen · Oct 12, 2017

Hi everyone,

I started working on Ensemble this year so maybe I am not implementing the right way. I'm trying to connect a Welch Allyn monitor to TrakCare. The workflow is the following:

- User scans patient number with the monitor.

- The monitor sends a QBP_Q22  message to request patient information

- Ensemble (or TrakCare) sends back a synchronous RSP_K22 containing the patient data (name, dob, sex)

- The user checks the patient's information displayed on the monitor, takes vital signs and sends them to TrakCare (via Ensemble)

I designed a DTL to build the RSP_K22 message using a query that retr

Question Michel de Gier · Nov 15, 2017

Hello,

I'm looking for a way to programmatic ally add the parameter 'VALIDIFNULL' to classes that extent %SerialObject.

This to hopefully resolve the validation errors I'm getting  on webservice request messages, where certain properties are not required, but lower down the tree some properties are.

I have too many classes to do this manually and with the next SOAP wizard run I probably loose the added parameter.

Some help would be very much appreciated.

The challenge today is about some basic cryptography : you will have to generate data for a one-time pad (OTP) (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-time_pad for more info).

You need to generate keys by taking the MD5 of a pre-arranged salt (your puzzle input), and an increasing integer index starting with 0.

Only those keys are valid which have :

"Help me, Obi Wan Kenobi"?

I’ve hit the wall. I’m a one person shop who wants to start developing Cache on a mac using Eclipse/Atelier, after using Studio for the last 5 years. I’ve installed the 1.1 beta plugin, watched 6 or 7 videos from the September conference, tried several times to work through the cheat sheets, only to have connection issues or compilation issues, so at this point, I’m feeling very frustrated. The videos were interesting, but generally didn’t work as tutorials for fundamental programming operations, for me.
