Hi-

Can someone please explain the affect of the Failure Timeout on an ensemble business operation with a EnsLib.HL7.Adapter.TCPOutboundAdapter

Is this setting indicating the number of seconds that the operation will attempt to resend a message to a target before it fails?

How does this setting affect message processing of messages that fail because of a missing or failure response code that comes back in an HL7 message response?

A beginners guide to develop Ensemble RESTful web services.

Background

Before you start reading this short introduction please go through the on-line documentation of Ensemble with special attention to chapter “Creating REST services and clients with Ensemble”.

The approach in the documentation is undisputable the fastest and easiest way to create RESTful services. As a beginner I went through the documentation and I had several questions. This short article is listing those questions plus my humble answers.

When I refer to documentation I mean Ensemble 2016.2 and onwards.

I have setup an async reporting mirror member with Read only access.  My problem is that if I try to do any sql reporting against that data I am getting errors.  I am sure that this is because the DB is read only, but I had assumed that setting up a reporting mirror would handle this.

I there a setting or mapping  I am missing?

Hi all,

We're in the process of creating several courses for creating custom business components for productions. This includes custom business operations, BPL processes, and custom business services. Custom Business Operations and Custom Business Services are both aimed at software developers while BPL processes can be also be created by business analysts. What are some gotchas or best practices you've learned that you wish you knew when first building these components?

We'd love to include what you've learned into these courses so others can learn from them as well!

Thanks!

How to retrive  the unstructure data using iknow concept in Cache . Given real time Example  of these concepts?

Hello,

Framing refers to the characters that mark the start and end of an HL7 message (or other types of framed messages).  Most HL7 services and operations have a Framing setting that allows the user to define this framing.  The most common choices are available as defaults, but with the AsciiMM/NN setting, components can be configured to recognize any framing characters.

The most common framing error is ErrEndBlock.  Other typical errors include a warning saying "Discarding received non-HL7 data", a warning saying "Returning unused unexpected n-char segment", and "Discarding leftover input ''".

I need to deploy an Ensemble production to several different clients.  Each client requires certain production settings to be set specific for them, things like pool sizes, IP addresses, SSL configurations, etc.

What is the best way to customize configuration settings when a production is deployed?

Do you have any experience / recommendations / best practice on how to update server-side data residing in a Cache database via a REST service?

A naïve approach would be to send a full JSON representation of the data object via an http POST to a method on a REST handler class: 

<Route Url="/mydata/:id" Method="POST" Call="Update"/>

The problem I see here is, if only one of the data object's properties has changed, how do we know which? Or do we simply overwrite all properties? 

Hi-

This almost seems like a silly question, but I am new to REST services.

I have a rest service that has a method for adding records to my database. 

<Route Url="/userdetails" Method="POST" Call="SaveUserDetails"/>
 

My REST client sends data using json in the body of the request.  I have verified using debugging tools that the data is actually being sent.

On the server side in my SaveUserDetails method where do I find the json?

What is the proper way to serialize that json into an object?

Right now I have a developer/free version of Cache 2016.1 on my local dev box but it doesn't have Ensemble installed, is there a way to get Ensemble?

After having gone to the 2016 Global Summit I want to play around with it on my own and see what it's capable of.

Thanks

What's the difference between a Login Cookie and a Session Cooke Path?

Is there any issue with using a pool size setting greater than 1 for an  inbound file service? The reason I ask is we can easily dump 100k+ files to a folder in minutes, but using a pool size of 1 can take hours for that backlog to clear.

Hello, guys.

Say I have two horologs or timestamps, how can I compare them? I know that just time1 > time2 doesn't work because it will compare them as strings which is not correct. 

Why $ZF(-1) not workers in Windows 10 ? Is there Any reason for that ?

Hi all

Hi, Community!

I've introduced new "Developer Community FAQ" tag, which gathers all the posts on "How to make this on Developer Community".

Also, you can find this link in the Learn menu. See the screenshot:

I have been using the query below and it was working fine but now it's giving a SQL error. There were no changes made that could cause this to stop working. There is no Field 'APPLICATIONID' in the table.

QueueSQL=select distinct (convert(char(5),SkillsetID)+'='+Skillset) from iagentbySkillsetStat where ApplicationID > 10000
QueueMappingSQL=SELECT DISTINCT (convert(char(5),SkillsetID)+'='+Skillset), SkillsetID FROM iagentbySkillsetStat iagentbySkillsetStat WHERE (iagentbySkillsetStat.ApplicationID>10000)

DB- Intersystems Cache

Error details for the log files are below.

Let's say I have a global named ^a and I need to export its nodes 1, 2, 3, 5 only.

Currently I write something like this:

Write $SYSTEM.OBJ.Export("a(1).gbl,a(2).gbl,a(3).gbl,a(5).gbl", "C:\Users\eduard\Desktop\a.xml")

Is there a way to write it shorter? I want to write global node once and list all the subscripts I need.

Hi All 

I have a process that I want to analyze and find bottle necks (e.g BO that had taken to long) something similar to the SQL query optimizer

Any suggestions?

Thanks
