What is the Cache command to display the version of Cache?

To most of us it's almost dogmatic that $H can't be negative!

This is correct concerning the COS Special Variable $HOROLOG.
No doubt. It's the presentation of the actual date & time.
http://docs.intersystems.com/latest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY…

For dates before 1841 it's suggested to use Julian date before 1841.
Good for calculations.
But what about values in $H_format ?
Conversion functions $ZD(), $ZDT(), $ZDH(), $ZDTH() and  
for SQL  $system.SQL.TOCHAR() and $system.SQL.TODATE()
take  care of the conversion to human readable date. You know this.

tl;dr how can you tell if a number is really a string

The original question has been updated/improved.

Equality comparisons on floating point numbers will produce different results...

"1.1"=1.1  //is true!

"0.1"=0.1  //is not true :(

This second comparison can be fixed with...

+"0.1"=+0.1 // is true!

The problem is, what if we don't realise that a value is a stringy number, or just overlook implementing this defensive check.

One solution would be to lint check %Float properties and return types that should originate from a number and not a string, as discussed here...

I am trying to capture the write of a method to test the response in an unit test. I know everything works because one of my colleagues ran the code and did not froze on his machine.

I don't what is the cause of the freeze. I know that at line Use $io::("^"_$ZNAME) it stopes because i have put some write functions after every line in WriteCapture method and i only saw the first write function in terminal

I also used debug and in this case it didn't froze

PS: forgot to put the status in the XECUTE (vstrCommand , .

Greetings,

Is it possible to save Cache code into a file and then run it via command line?  

IE:  csession [ini] -U [ini] /path/cacheCodeFile.?

What I need to do is run a Cache script from the Linux command line.  The script will navigate data to produce a file and then it will exit back to the command line.

Thanks in advance for everyone's time.

I need to check if one class is a subclass of another (either direct or indirect).

For example:

Class Package.ClassA Extends %Library.Persistent
{
}

Class Package.ClassB Extends Package.ClassA 
{
}

Class Package.ClassC Extends Package.ClassB
{
}

In this example Package.ClassC is a subclass of 3 classes: %Library.Persistent, Package.ClassA, Package.ClassB.

So any of these checks should return 1:

Write ##class(Some.System.Class).IsSubclass("Package.ClassC", "%Library.Persistent")
Write ##class(Some.System.Class).IsSubclass("Package.ClassC", " Package.ClassA")
Write ##class(Some.System.

Hello, I've completed this tutorial: https://community.intersystems.com/post/deepsee-period-date-vs-same-per…
I've used the "year" level instead of a pivot variable.
I want to calculate something like the following variation: 100 * ([DateOfSale].[PTD] - [DateOfSale].[LYPTD]) / [DateOfSale].[LYPTD]
I create a new calculated member, under the same dimmension with the above expression.
I put the new calculated member under the Count measure and it tells me that "Two measures cannot be crossjoined"
What am I doing wrong?
Can you redirect me to some explanations and maybe a solution?
Thanks!

Hi, Community! 

Please find the Developer Community Video of the week on InterSystems Developers YouTube Channel:

System Sizing for Insanely Large Deployments

I need to get a list of all classes that are subclasses of two unrelated classes.

For example I want to get a list of all classes that are both:

• Persistent (extends %Library.Persistent)
• XML-Enabled (extends %XML.Adaptor)

To get subclasses of one class I can use this query:

set rs = ##class(%Dictionary.ClassDefinitionQuery).SubclassOfFunc("%Library.Persistent")

But what about two classes?

I suppose I can run this query twice, build two $lb, then iterate over one of them and build a new $lb with classes that appear in both lists. Are there any better approaches?

Is it possible to dynamically adjust the RetryInterval andFailureTimeout settings in a BPL?

I've got a business process that calls a web service operation to get a session ID from an external system.  There is a string property returned in the body of the response that indicate an exception occurred in the external system. I have code in the BPL that examines the property and sets the status property to an error status when that occurs.

Depending on what the value is I want to adjust the RetryInterval and FailureTimeout values used in by the system when the ReplyCodeActions is set to E=RD.

Hi!

I am not system admin. But it used to be very simple to install CSP Gateway on an apache system on Linux with Apache installed. I used to run the CSP Gateway installation program and after it was done, all I had to do was fine tune some configurations on CSP Gateway portal on http://<ip>/csp/bin/Systems/Module.cxw and I was up and running.

Good afternoon - 

I'm in the process of learning to make COS calls to REST-based web services and while I am having success, I'm struggling on how to parse out the results (I admit I'm very green at this):

Here's the code retrieving the JSON response:

w !,"Get the JSON"
Set Result = {}.%FromJSON(Request.HttpResponse.Data)

This has Result as a Library.DynamicObject.

I can then write out the response using:

w !,Result.%ToJSON()

This works, I can see the response is valid and what I want.

I'm working on an existing Zen Report that uses queryClass/queryName to retrieve data using a class that has a Stored Procedure method. Which works fine.
I have created second class with a Stored Procedure method, I modified the zen report to use this class and now I'm having the following error.

Error: SQLCODE: -99 Message: User UnknownUser is not privileged for the operation
ErrorNo: 5540

Several Ensemble adapters have SERVICEINPUTCLASS and/or SERVICEOUTPUTCLASS parameters defined.

For example:

Class EnsLib.HTTP.InboundAdapter Extends EnsLib.TCP.InboundAdapter
{

Parameter SERVICEINPUTCLASS = "%Stream.Object";

Parameter SERVICEOUTPUTCLASS = "%Stream.Object";

...
}

What are they for?

Hi everyone, I have a SQL service that is working fine, except I don't want it to run on a schedule or continuously. I'd like to only run when requested. Run once and then stop until another request. Is there anyway to set up a service like that?

Hello everybody.

What I have is a criteria how to select "my" strings. What I need is to replace all of them with macro calls (using the same strings as arguments) in all classes of current namespace.

I was ready to write straightforward code, but at the last moment decided to ask the community: maybe I've overlooked a smarter option?

Any comments and advices would be great appreciated.

Hi,

I have a process in which i call a rest operation in a while loop, get a response in JSON format of 50 issues, with paging, meaning this call will happen until the total amount of issues will be returned. each JSON is parsed into a proxyObject, and inserted to a list. later the entire list will be sent to an SQL operation which will write the data in the appropriate tables.

The problem i'm encountering, is when i use the "ASSIGN" action, with insert at a certain key (context.i=context.i +1  for each iteration of the loop), i get an Error  that says that the value 3 is invalid key.

Trying to use AES encryption for a url.  I have a plain text string, a 16-byte key and a initialization vector.  I am trying to match a C# implementation that uses RijndaelManaged class with a  BlockSize = 128, Mode = CipherMode.CBC, Padding = PaddingMode.PKCS7.  The output of the $SYSTEM.Encryption.AESCBCEncrypt(text,key,IV), doesn't match what is coming out of C#.  All inputs into the $SYSTEM.Encryption.AESCBCEncrypt(text,key,IV) are converted to UTF8 as in the documentation.

Hi folks, I'm trying to pad my patient MRN to 10 characters before I do a SQL lookup in my BPL. I've tried various approaches, and have not been successful.

When I add a "code" statement with the following code, I get an error as below.

set context.NewID = "0000000000"
set $EXTRACT(context.NewID,10-len(context.PatientID)) = context.PatientID

ERROR <Ens>ErrException: <OBJECT DISPATCH>zS8+5 ^CHSLI.BPLQueryDatabaseforPatientID.Thread1.1 *Property 'NewID'
in class 'CHSLI.BPLQueryDatabaseforPatientID.Context'
must be MultiDimensional -- logged as '-'
number - @'
set $EXTRACT(context.

Is there a way to omit or skip rollback of some data changes during a transaction rollback? Maybe some sort of "autonomous transaction"?

The issue is with error logging in transaction. For example we may have in nested calls the following structure:
TS
<some code>
<error happens>
TRO 1
<error log to database>
but if this code is in another transaction, and that rolls back we lose error data.

Is there a way to do something like
TS
<some code>
<error happens>
TRO 1

<autonomous transaction start\flag>
<error log to database>

so error log will be stored anyway?

Hi All, I want to run the routine automatically when the system gets login.How to do that?

Hi, folks!

I'm sending emails with %Net.MailMessage.

How can I add a new line for the email body?

The code is:

dim msg as %Net.MailMessage = ##class(%Net.MailMessage).%New()
set msg.Charset="UTF-8"
do msg.TextData.Write("Dear  "_Username)
do msg.TextData.Write("Line1")
do msg.TextData.Write("Line2")
And I'm getting in email:

Dear UserLine1Line2

How can I get:

Dear User

Line1

Line2

I want to manipulate all the objects whose type is%Dictionary.StorageSQLMapDefinition by %OpenId

However, I don't know the exact id to feed into %OpenId, is there a way to query all the existing ids of %Dictionary.StorageSQLMapDefinition in a namespace?

Thanks.

We are running Caché v2010.2 on OpenVMS and are receiving the message, 'Unable to start the database read test' in our CCONSOLE.LOG.

I was wondering if anyone could offer some insight on this as I was not able to find the error mentioned in the documentation.

Does anyone know of a utility to compare two databases (i.e., CACHE.DAT files) and find globals/subscripts that are different between them?

If not, I'll write one and share it. 

I have a simple SQL service that does a simple select from an SQL database. After the select, I do an update to set the ProcessedFlag to "Y" for yes, so my next pass doesn't select records already processed. The service works fine, except when it's done I get the error below, anybody know what is causing this error?

Hi all,

I'm exploring using installation manifests to deploy Ensemble configuration changes. I noticed that the documentation uses a macro within an "Error" tag.

<Error Status="$$$NamespaceDoesNotExist">

So I thought this would also be possible with "Var" tags, "If" tags, etc. For example:

<If Condition = "$$$isDevEnvironment">...

What is FHIR and How to work with FHIR in Cache.How to we write a web services using FHIR.

Please give the Example.
