Question Brian Schoen · Jul 14, 2016

We are using the Ens.Alert alerting process to send alerts (via email) to our external service desk application (Service Now). 

Is there a way to suppress multiple alerts for the same error (within a specified timeframe)? (Either Rule or BPL?)  (i.e.  a system starts sending bad data which fails validation or is NAKd by a downstream system -- causing every message to create an Alert.)

Otherwise, every message creates an Alert, which creates a ticket in Service Now.  

Thanks,

Brian

At the Global Summit several folks had mention that they developed their own production monitor. I am looking to create a monitor similar to eGate that we only display those Services/Processes/Operations that are in trouble, and those Errors that are showing up in the Event Log. Does anyone have any examples of this?

Thanks

Using Node.js with Caché - Introduction says the following:

The cache.node module is the Node.js interface for the GlobalsDB kit, which can be obtained from the GlobalsDB download page (http://globalsdb.org/downloads/). The Node.js interface can be used with either Caché or the free GlobalsDB database.
The installation kit includes detailed documentation on how to install and configure the cache.node module.

However, http://globalsdb.org/downloads gives a 404 and http://globalsdb.org just redirects to intersystems.com

Where can I find the files I need?

Announcement Rustam Ibragimov · Aug 4, 2016

Hello, guys. 

We have recently created a syntax highlighting for COS for Atom text editor. You can find it on https://github.com/intersystems-ru/atom-language-cos

Installation: 

  1. Download or clone this repository
  2. Copy everything to ~/.atom/packages/
  3. If you have your Atom editor open, then you need to reload it (enter  Window: Reload in Command line)

It's been few days since the release, so please if you find a bug, let us know through creating an issue or forking and making a pull request. 

P.S. After it gets more or less usable, we will use this syntax as a basis for GitHub highlighting for COS.

In previous articles on iKnow, we described a number of demo applications (iKnow demo apps parts 1234 & 5) that are either part of the regular kit or can be easily installed from GitHub. All of those applications assumed you already had your iKnow domain ready, with your data of interest loaded and ready for exploration. In this article, we'll shed more light on how exactly you can get to that stage: how you define and then build a domain.

Hello,

I'm using studio for the first time.  I copied the Security.Users Class to my own UCDavis.Security.Users

I can't edit the copied file.  I totally get why I can't edit the Security.Users class - but why is it stopping me from editing the class I created??

Thanks in advance!

Hello guys,

One thing keeps annoying me and I'm pretty sure it does many other people (my workmates as well, lol): every time I access the 'Message Viewer' screen, the 'Time Format' come with 'Time only' as a default. Can I make 'Complete' as the default value for it?

Thanks!

The release of IBM POWER 8 processors with AIX 7.1 introduced up to 8 SMT threads per processor core (logical or physical).  Which SMT level (1, 2, 4, or 8) to use can be confusing and varies based on multiple factors.  This article is meant to help with a starting point for your specific application.

Firstly, if running on a version of 2014.x or older, it is advised to use SMT 4 or lower.  SMT 8 with those older versions of Cache' has shown a decline in performance and scaling in benchmarking applications.

Hi all,

I'm using $ZUTIL(49) to get information of the databases I want to add to a mirror. This information is passed to ##class(SYS.Mirror).CatchupDB(plstPathDatabases)  in order to Catchup all databases addes to a Mirror.

I know that ZUTIL is deprecated and I'd like to know what function or functions I have to use in order to get all necessary information for CatchupDB.

Thanks a lot

Question Michael Gosselin · Jul 29, 2016

Hello,

I've been doing this for years.  Well, decades.  And, I pride myself in being able to break other people's code.

However, sometimes I don't apply the same dedication to breaking my code.  That needs to change. wink

So, I'd like to ask people, what are some of the things you like to test for when trying to stress-test your code?  I'll start with what I like to try testing to see what crashes, what works unexpectedly, and what I've handled.

I always test the following: 0; 1; -1; some 20-digit number; some 50-character string; 1/0; 2E12; " ", and an undefined variable.

Question Jean Millette · Jul 25, 2016

We are creating a package (written in Caché Object Script) that will provide access to an external DB (MySQL). Because applications that use our package will be run from machines with various, potentially unexpected, operating systems, we’d like to establish a connection to the external DB without using DSNs (we’ve heard that setting up DSNs on certain non-Windows machines can be cumbersome and problematic).

Question Ryan Hulslander · Jun 3, 2016

Problem:

A file-based business service uses a local path on a Linux machine that is actually a mounted CIFS share. The mount is "soft" and is designed to not cache data, etc. There are times however when the remote system offering up the share (it's a Windows machine I believe) gets bounced or otherwise hung up the business service in the Ensemble production just hangs.

Question Scott Beeson · Jul 29, 2016

I'm doing some Schema changes.  I used our existing standard schema as a base, which was already based on 2.3.  So let's call our existing one Custom.MHC.Schema (based on 2.3).  I created Custom.MHC.Schema.Advanced (based on Custom.MHC.Schema) and copied down one of the code tables then made a change to it.

When I ran a message through, the code table change didn't show up.  I noticed in the message viewer that the DocType is still Custom.MHC.Schema:ADT_A01 but the DocType Category is Custom.MHC.Schema.Advanced.

Question Laura Cavanaugh · Jul 29, 2016

I'm getting the above error.  My zen page calls other javascript methods  and other server methods just fine.  But when I call my  method, I get the error.  Yes, I've tried making it look exactly like the methods that work.  But for some reason, it doesn't seem to know that DoLogout is a zen method. 

Anyone ever get this error?

THanks

L

for example

ClientMethod logout() [ Language = javascript ]  {   zenPage.DoLogout();  }

Method DoLogout() [ZenMethod]   {   //blah blah  }

Hi, Community!

You know, that when we build hierarchies in DeepSee dimension all the members of lower level should be the part of one member of the higher level.

If not you'll get some empty results in MDX queries with this hierarchy.

With Time dimensions the obvious valid hierarchy is Year->Month->Day, cause every Month consists of one Year and every day consists of one month.

Question John Murray · Jul 28, 2016

Studio's "Package Information" dialog, accessed from the context menu of a package on the Namespace tab of the Workspace pane, includes a field titled "Routine Prefix"

Help says this is a "String that is used as a prefix for the routines generated from classes in this package".

But if it set a string here, then recompile a class in the package, it doesn't affect the name of the generated routine(s). Nor does it influence the routine names generated when I create new classes in the package and compile them. I have tested on 2016.1.

Question Wendy Griffiths · Jul 22, 2016

I want to override the Get and Set methods of a class property.  The class maps to a pre-existing global. The property is defined like so:

Property Invalid As %Library.Boolean;

with the property mapping to a node like ^GLOBAL(Code,"INVALID")=1
Code is a property in the same class.

The value can be 0 or 1 or the node might not exist. When it doesn't exist I want the value of the SQL field to come out as 0 (false).
