Background

Caché 2016.1 introduced some very powerful JSON features.  Unfortunately, the syntax used in the 2016.1 release is going to be changed in the 2016.2 release to bring it closer to Caché ObjectScript syntax.  This will mean that code that works in 2016.1 may not be forwards compatible.   See this announcement and this article for more details about the changes.

In order to try to minimize the volume of code which would not work in future Caché versions, the following recommendations and tools are being used internally within InterSystems for internal application JSON code being written

A beginner’s guide to Exception Handling in RESTful web services. The article gives an example how the various error conditions during processing a service request can be handled.

We expect our client – server communication working in a flawless operational condition, running error free software. But we are prepared to handle exceptions. Are we? So far in the examples of the previous sessions were not. We did not care about exceptions. The result? In any error incident it took ages to figure out what the problem is and more importantly how to fix it.

Remember, REST leans on HTTP.

I can't able to access the management portal in tcp the cache is run on different port no 57812 plz i want immediate rply soon

Hi All,

    SPOOLER functionality is support in Cache 16?
    Previously we are using cache 5,Now we upgraded cache(cache 16).
    Is any changes required in SPOOLER set-up (Cache 16)?    
    
Thanks,
Sansa    

This sample class will add parameter DSINTERVAL to each class containing the parameter DSTIME

To execute it from a Terminal :

SAMPLES>d ##class(adm.param).add(,,1)
[SAMPLES] parameter DSINTERVAL=5 added to class DeepSee.Study.CityRainfall (via adm.param)
[SAMPLES] parameter DSINTERVAL=5 added to class HoleFoods.Transaction (via adm.param)
[SAMPLES] parameter DSINTERVAL=5 added to class News.DeepSee.NewsArticle (via adm.param)
DSINTERVAL parameter was added to 3 classes

Class adm.param [ Abstract ]

I'm trying to read PID-3 and route the message based on if a certain prefix existed, but I keep getting Property Does Not Exist.

I've tried

HL7.(PID:PatientIDInternalID()) Contains "COS"

HL7.(PID:PatientIDInternalID(1)) Contains "COS"

HL7.{PID:PatientIDInternalID()} Contains "COS"

HL7.{PID:PatientIDInternalID(1)} Contains "COS"

This is a 2.3 MDM message. Thanks!

This article gives a brief introduction how a RESTful service consumer and a RESTful service provider exchange data. It is a beginner’s guide. Data is transferred from a consumer to a provider as parameters of the service. Parameters are part of a service request. The result of the service action a response is returned from a provider to a consumer. Both the service request and response are standard HTTP messages. Since HTTP is a flexible standard regarding to the message contents, RESTful services also enjoy the versatility of data transfer methods.

During this session you can learn what

Good Morning and thanks in advance for all replies.  I have created a PowerShell script for backing up CACHE and all related files to be run on a nightly basis.  My script works as long as the Unknownuser has %all access which is not acceptable in our production environment.  I have tried every format I can thank of to get the script to use a specific id with no luck.  How can I get this command to run under a specific id? 

..\bin\cache -s. -U%SYS "##Class(Backup.General).ExternalFreeze() <d:\backup\login.scr" 

The file just has

userid`r`n

Hi!

Sometimes you see that call to DeepSee cube building method:

w ##class(%DeepSee.Utils).%BuildCube("CubeName")

does nothing.

Here are my 2 cents on possible reasons.

1. Run DeepSee Reset method in certain Namespace:

NAMESPACE> w ##class(%DeepSee.Utils).%Reset()

and try again.

2. Make sure, that all the indices in your base class for the cube are rebuilt, rebuild them and run it again:

w ##class(%DeepSee.Utils).%BuildCube("CubeName")

Hope this will save some time for you, and will be helpful as was to me.

NewBie's Corner Session 27 Traversing A Global with $Order Part 1

Welcome to NewBie's Corner, a weekly or biweekly post covering basic Caché Material.

Traversing A Global

Perhaps the most difficult concept in Caché/MUMPS is its Global Structure. This session and several that follow it deals with the Global Structure. However, just presenting the material will not guarantee your understanding of it. You must experiment with the data and concepts that are presented.

In this session, we are going to create a small Global of three levels deep, and then show the code to Traverse the Global.

NewBie's Corner Session 28 Various Methods to Traverse a Global

Welcome to NewBie's Corner, a weekly or biweekly post covering basic Caché Material.

Judging from the number of responses to Session 27 Traversing A Global, developers are passionate about their methods. I am not here to judge the merit of the various methods.

Over the next few pages I will demonstrate a number of methods to Traverse a Global. If you don't already have a favorite they may help you pick one.

I will repeat the method from Session 27 just to have all methods in one post.

There may be variations on these methods and

Hello, guys.

I need to copy the text from one stream to another filestream and save it. I am using  

do fileStream.CopyFromAndSave(rtn.Code)

However, if "rtn" stream contains Russian characters I get something like "???". Is there any way to convert stream to Unicode?  Something like $zc(str, "O", "UTF8") for streams.

Hi all,

This is a real long shot, but does anyone have experience integrating MS wsHttpBinding with a Cache application?

I ask because my project had some initial design discussions for new web service communication and this specification was mentioned. 

Thanks.

Hello, guys. 

I found one interesting moment in Cache Object Script. It doesn't have(or at least I didn't find) trimming function. By trimming I mean if a string has some whitespaces/tabs/carriage returns from very beginning or/and from very right, this function removes them. 

  I have found several workaround ways. 

1. Using Cache Basic

ClassMethod TrimCacheBasic(str As %String) As %String [ Language = basic ]{Return Trim(str)}

2. Using SQL

ClassMethod TrimSQL(str As %String) As %String
{
	set tStatement = ##class(%SQL.Statement).%New()
	set tSC = tStatement.%Prepare("SELECT TRIM(?)")

I saw someone recently refer to ECP as magic. It certainly seems so, and there is a lot of very clever engineering to make it work. But the following sequence of diagrams is a simple view of how data is retrieved and used across a distributed architecture.

For more more on ECP including capacity planning follow this link: Data Platforms and Performance - Part 7 ECP for performance, scalability and availability

To start

• There are three globals on disk ^A, ^B and ^C.
• Global ^B equals "B"
• There is one Data server and two or more Application servers.
• The diagrams show the cache (global buffers) on

Hi All

I have a question on working with dev and prod environments.

After project is ready and signed, I usually migrate outcome to production using the export tool from the studio.

For changes/adding to existing projects, I exclude the production class (as it has some different values differing the dev from the live) and I add the differences manually afterwards.

My questions on migrating are:

Does anyone has (to share) his/her best practice steps on "migrating dev to prod"?

Does the export action (in management portal) is better to use?

Thanks

The article is a step by step guide for beginners to learn how to build a RESTful web service consumer (or client) in Ensemble. The provider can be any RESTful service, but the example is based on the service we made during the previous sessions.

It is more than obvious that many client development environment has programming libraries or containers to build a RESTful client.

I'm following the tutorial here.  When I try to call the default Test() method I get the following error:

An error occurred with the CSP application and has been logged to system error log (^ERRORS)

I found this document which says I need to make the "Web Application" accessible by running a couple commands.  I'm not even sure I created a Web Application.  Regardless, I tried a few variants but still get the same error.

Here is the URL for the Service Catalog: /csp/healthshare/mhclib/Custom.MHC.Scott.ServiceTest.cls

I tried different things including these two:

Checking if Directory or File Exists:

Outlined below is an example of how to check if a directory exists:

Set directoryName="c:\temp\nosuchdir"

/* Check for existence of a directory - Return Value:  0 - directory does not exist;  1 - directory does exist  */

Set directoryExists=##class(%File).DirectoryExists(directoryName)

If ('directoryExists)  // do the processing for when a directory does not exist

Outlined below is an example of how to check if a file exists:

Set fileName="a_test_filename.txt"

/* Check for existence of a file- Return Value:  0 - filename does not exist;  1 -

The one question that some of you might have is:  

How do I change my login information for Cache Studio if I clicked the checkbox to automatically save my login info so I do not have to enter my username/password every time I open Studio?
 

Well.....excellent question!!!!!!

Here's the answer:  

Bring up Studio and press F4 (or go to File menu -> Change Namespace) - when the Change Namespace box appears - click on the [Connect] button and you can select the server you want to connect to and it will re-prompt you for your login credentials -- at that point change the Cache Account to whatever

Hi all,

We're creating a series of RESTful APIs that output data from a Cache database (made up of global storage that we've mapped to classes). I'm running into some problems with object-to-JSON conversions when relationships are involved. Eg:

ParentClass has children relationship to ChildClass

ChildClass has parent relationship to ParentClass

If you %WriteJSONFromObject on an instance of ChildClass, it will retrieve the instance of ChildClass you're asking for, and it will retrieve the ParentClass as a JSON sub object, via the parent relationship (this part is OK), AND it will retrieve EVERY

Hello,

I think it will be very useful to add the following information about community members:

-Full Name (that is the only thing we see today)

-Company

-Title

In Subscriptions > Overview >  I checked Digest Mode, which is defined as:

"Merges your notifications into a single email, sent at the interval you specify. "

Under Preferences I set the Send Interval to be Daily.

I receive a couple dozen emails each day.  They all have a subject of "Subscription Digest for..."

Each email only contains a single item, so it doesn't appear to be a "digest."

It clearly is coming more than once a day, so doesn't appear to be following the set Send Interval.

Is this a bug or am I misunderstanding the settings?
