Development productivity? Isn’t it kind of an oxymoron? Anyhow, we all dream a magic tool which does the tedious job of the software development and leave the intuitive or creative part on the developer. Atelier is the next generation tool of InterSystems aiming to boost the productivity of Caché/ Ensemble based software development. Atelier is based on the popular Eclipse IDE platform, which makes available the “infinite” pool of third party tools for Caché developers. Those tools can truly boost the productivity. This short article gives some examples how third party plug-ins can help developing for Caché. It is an absolute beginner’s guide, beginner to Eclipse but experienced to Caché.

Question Nikita Savchenko · Jan 1, 2017

Hello community!

After reading a lot near InterSystems's Jobs and Terminal I/O documentation sections multiple times, I still does not understand one concept.

Maybe this question will be kind of incorrect, but please take it as is: is it possible to change the current device to be terminal device?

Let me explain what I want to achieve.

I have a jobbed process, which current/principle device is //./nul:6932, and which is spawned by TCP device |TCP|1972|936 And for the jobbed process I want almost-everything to behave exactly the same way as it behaves for Caché TERM.

Question Kevin Mayfield · Nov 19, 2016

Internally we use splunk for monitoring applications and network.

Does Ensemble have a way of exposing internal metrics and/or a way of exposing custom built metrics? 

I've used Deepsee dashboards in the past to monitor Apache Tomcat/Apache Camel/hawtio using JMX rest calls. This is the other way around and ideally I'd like to expose metrics on:

  • HL7v2 messages (broken down into types)
  • Production performance
  • Error and Warning.

Understand Ensemble 2016.2 includes Java 8 JVM and was wondering if the JMX route (plus hawtio) is the way to do this?

Hello!

I have detected an error in CACHE 2016.1.2, on both 32 and 64 platforms, when loading the autocad application, it fails. This did not happen in CACHE 2014.1.4.

Question Warren Cooper · Dec 31, 2016

Hi, I just installed the TRYCACHE 2016.2.1 preview release into a 16.04 Ubuntu VM.  The install is dirt simple. Very nice. I've installed Eclipse Neon and used your update site link to get Atelier.  Also very simple and nice.  Thank you!

I see there is a January update coming.  Will it be possible to include a license that lets developers launch one terminal session while connected to the TRYCACHE instance via Eclipse?

When I try to do this, I'm exceeding the TRYCACHE license limit.

thanks!

Currently it looks like this:

I want it to look like this:

 

Differences are:

Question Tani Frankel · Dec 8, 2016

Hi all (and specifically Eduard L. ;)

The Ensemble Workflow REST API provided here:

https://github.com/intersystems-ru/EnsembleWorkflow

(and mentioned before in this Community, also as the basis of the Angular UI, also available in the same Git) 

Has some very basic documentation as to how to work with the API (which also seems to be possibly a little out-dated as I think the /login URL is deprecated, for example).

Is there somewhere a more comprehensive documentation of this API?

I am trying to create a query that returns the best and worst performing products for a given customer, based on this year's net sales versus last year's net sales, weighted by the total net sales for all of the products sold to this customer in the last two years.

I have created Last Year Net Sales (up to the last month end): AGGREGATE(PERIODSTODATE([Invoice Date].[H1].[YEAR],[Invoice Date].[H1].[Month].[NOW-13]),measures.[Net Sales])

This year Net Sales: AGGREGATE(PERIODSTODATE([Invoice Date].[H1].[YEAR],[Invoice Date].[H1].[Month].[NOW-1]),measures.

Ansible helped me solve the problem of quickly deploying Caché and application components for Data Platforms benchmarks. You can use the same tools and methodology for standing up your test labs, training systems, development or other environments. If you deploy applications at customer sites you could automate much of the deployment and ensure that system, Caché and your application are configured to your applications best practice standards.

Question Mack Altman · Dec 27, 2016

Currently, namespace Alpha is configured to use database AlphaDB as its global database. How would we go about having namespace Alpha configured to use database AlphaDB for its global database except where global ^Customers(CustomerId) has a CustomerId greater than 10M, which we would like to have it redirected to database BetaDB.

In other words, ^|"AlphaDB"|Customers contains all customers between 1 and 10,000,000; and ^|"BetaDB"|Customers contains all customers greater than 10,000,000. Any help would be appreciated.

Question Aditi Goswami · Dec 28, 2016

Hello,

I read the Cache Documentation where it describes Private Property as below:

Specifies that the property is private. Private properties can only be used by instance methods of this class (or its subclasses).
A private property is not displayed in the catalog information (accessed by using %Library.SQLCatalog) and is not returned by a SELECT * query. However, you can explicitly refer to and use a private property in an SQL query.
Can someone please explain how to explicitly refer or use the private property in an SQL query?

Question Jonathan Ebbers · Dec 27, 2016

I've been asked to annotate a PDF file (in Intersystems Cache).  That is, take in an existing PDF (printable form with areas for people to write in) and use Cache to update it (automatically fill the fields in).

Does Zen have the ability to set a starting/initial PDF?  I see the ability to define an XML format to write in, but that's not exactly what I need, because that will generate my "answers".

I'd like to overlay my "answers" on top of an original PDF.  Do you know how to do that?

Addendum:
After many hours of research, I came across the FOP.

Question Aman Rana · Dec 22, 2016

Hi All,

I have below schema structure:

base:MSH~{~[~base:PID~[~{~base:NK1~}~]~[~base:PV1~[~base:PV2~]~]~]~{~[~base:ORC~]~base:OBR~[~{~base:NTE~}~]~base:TQS~[~{~[~{~OBX~}~]~[~{~base:NTE~}~]~}~]~}~}

Now there are few cases where source application is sending NTE segment after TQS segment

Is there any way of updating the schema to use the same NTE from OBXgrp, cause we dont want to update the code logic as its happening for few messages only.

I was benchmarking the populate utils when I noticed something strange. Consider this simple benchmarking method:

ClassMethod runBench(count As %Integer = 300000)
{
		s types=["name","ssn","company","title","phone","city","street","zip","mission","state","color","product","string","integer","float"]
		//s types=["name","ssn"]
		s iter=types.%GetIterator()
		while iter.%GetNext(.key,.value){
			s start=$P($ZTS,",",2)
			s opt={}
			s opt.type=value
			for i=1:1:count{
				s res=##class(DataGen.Generator).

Hi, Community!

We have our internal backup system which produces *.cbk files for Full, Incremental and Cumulative backup modes.

Does anyone have an automation procedure to restore this files on some target testing system, check the integrity and mark the files as "restorable"?

Please, share?

Thank you in advance!

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,"_
