Question Wolf Koelling · Dec 16, 2016

Does anybody else have problems installing the  Caché 2017.1 FT for Win_x64?

I'm getting an error "Unable to execute the required file: The following system error has occurred: The system cannot find the file specified. (2)"

This is happening with the very latest version (build 726) and the previous one ( build 720), whereas the builds before were fine.

I've uninstalled Caché to see whether it was an upgrade vs clean install problem but it makes no difference.

If you have a lot of SQL queries to external systems (or even internal dynamic ones), you can encounter something like this:

Set SQL =    "SELECT "_
                "c.cid                        AS Id,"_
                "c.nid                        AS Nid, "_
                "FROM_UNIXTIME(c.created)     AS Created,"_
                "c.uid                        AS Uid,"_
                "IFNULL(vv.average,0)         AS AvgVote,"_
                "IFNULL(vv.amount,0)          AS VotesAmount,"_
                "body.comment_body_value      AS Text,"_
                "'comment'

To install the Python binding on Windows one must follow the instructions in the following: 

https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/pythonengineering/2016/04/11/unable-to…

The reason is that ActiveState Python version 2.7.X is built with Visual Studio 2008 and Microsoft provides Visual Studio 2008, which one must install, so that Python C extensions can be built. 

Also, if one still sees the "error "error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat" message at the Visual Studio 2008 command prompt, then one needs to do the following: 

pip install --upgrade​ setuptools

Hi, community!

Consider you need to exclude substring(s) from a string.

I did it with the following snippet:

/// excludes all the substrings from the string
ClassMethod ExcludeSubstring(substr,str as %String) As %String

{

 while ($L(str,substr)>1) {

 set str=$Piece(str,substr)_$Piece(str,substr,2,*)

            }

 quit str

}

So, for example:

USER> set str=”ExcludemeGoodstringExcludemeExcludemeGoodstring” w ##class(User.Utils).ExcludeSubstring(“Excludeme”,str)

GoodstringGoodstring

Is this the optimal approach or I reinvented the wheel?

I have posted to aid others in diagnosing problem with SSL/TLS connections to superserver port from .NET client executable.

The cache instance this appeared on is quite old - 2011 - so I do not know if Intersystems have added a better error message in a later version

The actual fault was due to the certificate in the %SuperServer SSL/TLS configuration having expired.

The unhelpful message that appeared in the .NET client included the following partial stack trace.

   *** CacheException..ctor: (12:05:09:546) [ConnID= 34822912] [SvrJob=Unknown] [ThreadID=9]

Question Paul Riker · Dec 13, 2016

I want to set the value in the second field of OBX-5, or OBX-5-2. My schema is not broken down to that granular level, so I can't just click OBX-5-2 to populate it. I tried a few variations without success.

target.{PIDgrpgrp().ORCgrp().OBXgrp(1).OBX:ObservationValue(1).2}

target.{PIDgrpgrp().ORCgrp().OBXgrp(1).OBX:ObservationValue(1)(2)}

target.{PIDgrpgrp().ORCgrp().OBXgrp(1).OBX:ObservationValue(1.2)}

 

Any ideas?

Question Alok Saldanha · Nov 15, 2016

For testing purposes, I would like to create an EnsLib.HL7.Message from either a %String or a file on disk and pass it into a function in a unit test (outside of an Ensemble context). EnsLib.HL7.Parser appears to do the necessary parsing, but it also sends the message via Ensemble service rather than returning it as a value. Is there a way to leverage the parsing outside of a Ensemble service? Alternatively, is there another way to create an EnsLib.HL7.Message?

Last week I was onsite with a new customer of ours, implementing Deltanji to give them control of their development and deployment cycle. One particularly satisfying part of the visit was seeing their pleasure at how their production class now records its changes over time, allowing them to quickly diff the versions and see what configuration items have been added or what settings altered. ​

Those of you who keep an eye on developments in the mainstream of IT will be aware that a major upheaval has been occurring over the last 5 or so years, in which JavaScript has exploded in popularity and importance.  Largely as a result of its server-side incarnation - Node.js - it has broken free of just being the scripting language that you use in web browser, to becoming the world's most popular language and enterprise technology of choice.

As soon as I started playing about with Node.js back in 2010, it was clear to me that not only was it going to be an important and major technology, but

I have a server with public web application with Unauthenticated access and there seems to  be a problem that CSP session ends, but associated license persists for some time (hours). If several users log in, we can hit license limit and all the other users get 503 Service unavailable error.

We are currently debugging it and moving to authenticated web applications,  but is there a way to free these licenses quickly?

Here's how it looks like in SMP:

Hi,

i have a csp application (namespace default) to which i like to login from remote. This is possible via

http://localhost:57772/csp/namespace/MyApp.MyPage.cls?CacheUserName=<us…;

So the credentials need to be in cleartext which is in fact a problem. The invocation is made within a lan so we don´t need to transport the credentials over the web. Anyway, a remote application likes to use that page (display and work with it) and is able to pass in different parameters. These parameters are encoded in a way I couldn´t figure out yet.

I try to figrue out how such an remote

Announcement Bill McCormick · Aug 25, 2016

This announcement is to inform clients about changes in our 2016.2 and 2016.3 field test programs.  

The 2016.2 field test has been extended in order to address important syntax changes related to JSON. Simply stated, the JSON syntax introduced in 2016.1 had several inconsistencies that we did not want to perpetuate.   This is now addressed and the updated 2016.2 field test will be published today.  Concurrently, the syntax changes and guidance for developers will be posted on the Developer Community shortly. JSON is critically important to our Caché roadmap.

Question Peter Steiwer · Dec 8, 2016

I see that there is an "Insert Special Character" option from the text editor where "é" can be selected, but would it be possible to create a "Caché" button that inserts the word "Caché"? I can see cases where mixing these words can be confusing. An even more important reason would be searching. If the word "Cache" is used instead of "Caché" in many places, it may be difficult to find information about the "Cache".


If a "Caché" button existed, it may encourage the correct spelling to be used. I am not sure if this is a real problem, but I see the possibility of it happening.

When I create a post, it requires I select  Related Topics.  

On the right side there is browse by tag.  

Are Topics  = Tags?

If so can the DC admin please be consistent with the naming convention? Pick one and correct all the instances

Question Josh Tennefoss · Dec 9, 2016

Is there any way that I can check the native type of an object script variable? (similar to the typeof check in javascript)

I see that the DynamicArray class uses the type of the variable for its output, I would like to do something similar when I receive a value as an argument to my method.

USER>s var1 = 123  //No quotes, number type
 
USER>s var2 = "123" //quotes, string type
 

//DynamicArray can tell the difference
USER>s arr = []
 
USER>d arr.%Push(var1)
 
USER>d arr.%Push(var2)
 
USER>w arr.%ToJSON()
[123,"123"] //first value is output without quotes, second value is quoted

When testing a new routing rule, one frequently encountered problem is that messages that seem like they should be getting routed to a target component are not getting routed.  This article aims to describe how to determine why the message didn't get routed.

1. Check the Event Log for the router to make sure there wasn't an error evaluating the rule or running any transformations referenced by the rule.  If there was, debug that error first.

2. Verify the settings on the general tab in the rule editor.
2a.Make sure "Rule Type" is correct.
