Hi, Community!

You published 499 articles regarding InterSystems technology in 2016.

Here are the most noticed and interesting articles of the year.

Introducing new JSON capabilities in Caché 2016.

Anyone know where I can find a higher quality version of the favicon used in the Ensemble production interface?

Does anybody know good interesting and detailed articles or maybe bookes about the binding of SSL сertificates?

Thank you.

Is there a way to have a Data Lookup table be automatically updated via a script or cache code? We have a file that is being created by our EMR, and we need to import it into Ensemble to update it. Just trying to see if we can automate this process.

Thanks

All,

Totally new to Cache and Encryption.  Have a project requirement for SHA-512.  

Recently we have exercised this with a partner. It may be helpful for others as well.

The basic functionality is to connect to SAP through SAPJCo (Supporting SAPJCo 3.07+).

As a first step have a production with at least two items of the following type:

• EnsLib.JavaGateway.Service
• EnsLib.SAP.Operation

Configure the settings for the Java Gateway and the SAP Operation accordingly. And start the production.

Now the library sapjco3.jar needs to get imported to be used by further internal functionality.

When working with a large query executed though an ODBC connection what is the best way to allow the paging of the results at the client side.  I have tried some methods using %VID and similar methods, but these really don't seem to work as the value returned is related to the ID of the data and not the position in the results set.  What would be ideal is if the value seen in the management portal when you check of "Row Number" was available to external queries through ODBC.  I have not seen a way to return this however.   This would be similar to SQL server Last n and Skip n capabilities.

How are we doing THIS year versus the same period LAST year? 
This is a common need in Business Intelligence. In fact, many design specifications for reports make use of a comparison between a selected period (year, quarter, etc) up to a certain date (for example November 15th, 2016) and a summary of the same information for the previous year (i.e. up to November 15th, 2015). 
This post shows how to implement this in DeepSee.

Hi all,

I've a problem with EnsLib.FTP.OutboundAdapter

I've configured this adapter using a SFTP connection, it has been working the first time but now its raising the following error message:

ERROR <Ens>ErrFTPPutFailed: FTP: error al colocar archivo '1600000107279008930.pdf' (mensaje='Error in SFTP Put('C:\stream\QhFaDm4L1Jrgbg.stream','mypath/1600000107279008930.pdf') ERROR #7500: Error SSH '-2146430933': SSH Error [8010102B]: Unable to send FXP_OPEN* [8010102b] at SFTP.cpp:539,0',código=0)

This is part of my code:

    try {
        set name = pRequest.FileName
        set .

Hi!

I want to optimize the cube and delete the measure. Is there any easy way to find pivots which use it?

Does anyone have any snippet regarding this?

Would be great to have "out of the box" dashboards which will show the dependencies of pivots vs measures and dimensions.

Hi All,

I am new to this technology and I have installed the trial version of cache 2016.1 with Normal security.

I was trying to develop the sample cinema application and mean while when I tried to view the csp webpage, it opens the browser and ask for login after logging in it shows Service Unavailable error instead of preview of webpage.

Could you guys suggest an answer to resolve this issue.

The 2017.1 FT keys expired on December 31st 2016. Can we have a new set?

This article is one of the series which introduces Eclipse to experienced Caché/ Ensemble/ HealthShare users. The goal is to open the perspective of a developer who was using Caché Studio for years and make Her/ Him see deeply into the Eclipse world – far beyond Atelier. In other words it is an Atelier (Eclipse IDE for InterSystems technology) beginner’s guide. This time the topic is: editing XML files using Atelier.

Question:

How do I get a list of files residing in a certain folder/directory, according to some wildcard/filter.

For example all '*.txt' files in 'C:\Temp'.

Answer:

In CACHE –

You can use the %Library.File's FileSet class query.

Here's some sample code using it (also attached):

run(pDir,pFileSpec)

      Set tRS=##class(%ResultSet).%New("%Library.File:FileSet")

      Set tSC=tRS.Execute(pDir,pFileSpec)

      Write "Name",?30,"Date Modified",?53,"Type",!
      Write "--------------------------------------------------------------------------",!

      While tRS.

I'm currently re-engineering an application from CSP pages directly accessing COS Methods, to an Angular/Material front end accessing a REST DAL.  Both the Angular front end and REST services are hosted from the same Caché instance and the same namespace, but the REST services have their own CSP application, with all calls being routed through a Dispatch class.  

I've come across an architecture issue recently, and am trying to assess the options I have.  At present, we encode a call to a class which takes in an OID and returns the Stream to the browser.

Hi

   I am facing issue with cache database it is part of schneider PES software..the issue started with below:

and after some reinstallation i became not able even to install it.

receiving always message: 

"could not locate installation directory" ....i can only select new instance ...

How i can remove all the registry and old cache instance  to have new fresh installation.

the boss started using his new mac laptop, and now we are getting macintosh's own html escape characters being stored in the database especially in our text blocks, when we then print it we see things like don%u2019t instead of don't

so for example instead of the apostrophe we see %u2019 being stored. We've already noticed %u2018, %u2019, %u201C, %u201D, %2026

I'd like to replace the %u2019 with the nearest equivilent (especially when he starts to use left and right quote marks)

so how can I efficiently start to replace the
%u2019 with the apostrophe
%u2026 with the ".

In response to a comment on his posting about source control hooks and Atelier Bill McCormick used the example of Studio's SOAP Wizard and talked about providing more information about how Atelier will support this kind of extension.

 My Atelier (1.0.116) has a Tools menu with an Add-Ins option and a "Soap Wizard" (sic) submenu.

Is there any information available to us yet about how we can add our own add-ins of this kind?

Hi there,

I'm currently getting myself acquired with Atelier and apart from having a lot of fun I noticed an issue that keeps me from merging changes to the server. When importing Files into my project it uses the right encoding (without telling it what encoding to use). When trying to synchronize it shows the Conflict Resolution, with the server side using the wrong encoding therefore displaying gibberish.

Hello! 

My group and I are currently doing a research project on natural language processing and iKnow plays a big role in this project.  I am aware that the algorithms iKnow use aren't public, and I respect that.

My question is, are there any public documents/research that explains, at least part of, the algorthims iKnow uses and the motivations for using them?  

Here is a concrete example:  We are using GetSimilar() for many of our results and it works very well.

When deciphering an error message (<MAXSTRING>main+45^LBZNSJHCACUPLB), my understanding is the error offset is 45 lines from "main".  If there are "go sub" entries within this 45 lines, do you count the lines in the "go sub" section or do you do a straight count of lines ignoring the "go sub" section?

Hi all,

          what reason for DBACK job process lock at time running full backup?

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.

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.

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

Cache telnet is running slowly on 64-bit, what could be the problem?

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.

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!
