I am pleased to announce the next 2016.2 field test kit, 2016.2.0.605.0.

There are about a hundred changes from the previous field test kit, including the following fixes to problems found by those using the kits in the field:

• DLP3516, which fixes a problem in the Demo.Document.Data.Loader class
• RJW2416, which fixes a problem with the telnet client disconnecting on Windows

The cdirectmgr utility will no longer be included with product distributions beginning with the Caché 2016.2 release . This was an older VB application (predating the Caché cube) which allowed users to define server connections for Visual M/Caché Direct applications. As VB 6 is no longer supported by Microsoft, we will no longer ship this component. The same functionality is already available from the cube utility.

It is also posted in Compatibility blog.

What is the recommended approach to handle the following scenario: Large number of HL7 messages are serviced via Ensemble. Those messages are then transformed and routed to an Operation which calls a web service which does a number of different activities. If will do address normalization, location geo coding, MPI lookup and resolution, and insert into a SQL Server database to stage for an analytics product. Unfortunately all of this work takes time and the first thing that happens in the web service is a lock taken out on the Patien in SQL Server. Each call can take seconds where the message

Zen Reports has offered multiple choices for direct printing including use of Adobe Reader or Foxit reader. Recent changes in Windows 10 and in the readers themselves have made it no longer possible to invoke these readers from background processes in Windows 10 and all future versions. Because of this Zen Reports will no longer support printing with these tools on Windows 10.

Windows 10 support was added for 2015.1 and 2015.2.  On Windows 10, the only option for direct printing with Zen Reports will be Qoppa JPDFPrint.

Good morning people.
The use of TDD is currently being reference for software delivery more confiabilitade and quality.

At the company I work developing web applications , we create tests for method class in a deteminado package and running the steps that the documentation recommends:

1 export the tests classes to a predefined folder.
2- And running the test ( D ## class (% UnitTest.Manager ) .RunTest (,"/nodelete" )

It is a lot of work to do the export and run these tests would have a resource that we could only run the tests without the need for export ?

Is the default language (i.e., $$$DefaultLanguage, which is used as the basis for localization with $$$Text/etc. at compile time) always "en" for new Caché installations, or could it be different? How is this determined? I don't see an option to select a language during Caché installation.

Also, is there a supported/preferred API for setting the default language? Looking at %occMessages.inc, one option would be:

Set $$$DefaultLanguageNode = "en"

But I'd expect there to be a classmethod for this somewhere (and haven't managed to find it yet).

Attached is an example of a web service client that can be used to do a lookup against the CMS NPPES database to validate and retrieve information about a given National Provider Identification (NPI).

Hi Community!

I'm pleased to announce that  the winner of the Global Summit Free Registration Contest is...

I'm working on a proposal for a deployment tool development project and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with such a thing.  

We use Healthshare and implementations for new clients are tedius and lengthy.  Lots of ensemble service, registry value, lookup tables, namespaces and other things have to be created and configured. 

I would like to create a Zen or CSP page based deployment tool that can do all this with a few parameters and some custom code.

Has anyone done this?  What are some pitfalls you ran into?  Any unique ideas you included?  Other general thoughts?

Hello Community!

The Solution Developers Conference is like the live version of the Developer Community. It’s where you can connect with your peers, and with InterSystems developers and product managers face-to-face! You’ll hear about our newest technologies, and how they can be used to super-charge your development projects. (Learn more about the Solution Developers Conference and InterSystems Global Summit. ) 

InterSystems is pleased to announce that Caché and Ensemble 2015.1.4 are now available as maintenance releases.
For a complete list of the corrections in 2015.1.4, please review the release notes.

Caché and Ensemble 2015.1.4 are available today for the same platforms as 2015.1.3.
The complete set of supported platforms, including specific point releases and/or patches, is detailed in the Supported Platforms document.

A customer needs to assemble a HL7v2 ADR A19 (ADT Response - Patient Query) message programmatically, inside Ensemble.

Does anyone have an example of how can one create a HL7v2 message programmatically? 

Question

I am configuring IIS to work with the CSP Gateway but I'm running into this error:

"The Module DLL 'C:\Inetpub\CSPGateway\CSPms.dll' could not be loaded due to a configuration problem. The current configuration only supports loading images built for a x86 processor architecture."

Hi Community!

Meet the new group in Developer Community:

InterSystems Data Platform Blog!

In this group you'll find technical posts form InterSystems engineers and Community about InterSystems Data Platform technology cases which we consider as good or even best practices.

Every article in this blog passes InterSystems engineers' reviewing procedure and only then becomes available. You are very welcome to comment and share it!

We'll find best practices of InterSystems Technology implementations, will transform it into articles and will deliver for you in this group on a regular basis.

Hi all,

I was wondering, what is your favourite public cloud provider?

What is your level of engagement with the cloud provider? Are you testing their infrastructure? In which case I'd expect you being progressing a parallel test with at least a second provider ;-) Or, are you already running a production environment?

--

OK, so, let me be the first one to share my experience with one specific cloud provider.

Hi-

I'm curious to know what InterSystems clients are using for csp based web development methodology.

Are you doing tag based development, or class based development?

If you are using tag based development, what tools are you using to create the look and feel of your web pages?  Are you using tools like Adobe Dreamweaver, or do your developers sit down and code HTML using plain editors like Notepad and Notepad++

Are you doing prototyping of web pages and then adding CSP tags, or are you just developing the finished csp page with no prototype?

Thanks
Ken

Hi, Community!

We've started InterSystems Global Summit Free Registration Contest this week.

Here is interactive leaderboard available! 

In MSSQL I think you can do something like this:

select *
from HS_IHE_ATNA_Repository.COLUMNS
where TABLE_NAME='Aggregation'

How can I do this in Cache SQL?

[%msg: < Table 'HS_IHE_ATNA_REPOSITORY.COLUMNS' not found>]

I'm planning to have a web-based management and deployment interface.  For now I have started writing some .mac scripts.  Will I be able to call these from a web page?  Or do I just need to start with Zen?

A customer needs to add lines in the Excel sheet before the MDX resultset content.

Is there a more elegant/convenient way than modifying %DeepSee.UI.MDXExcel methods ?

Thanks in advance.

Sylvain

Hi,

Does anybody know when Ensemble 2016.1 will be general availability?

We are holding off upgrading, providing the wait won't be too long.

Thanks,

Graham

Developing an idea with RuleEngine in XData, we could even refuse from editing full class and edit only valuable xml. Sometime ago I have already written an article(in russian) about such possibility, even more, in that article I wrote about compilable JavaScript to Caché. 

Opening File

This possible with %Studio.AbstractDocument. While extending this class, developer should add a Projection.

Are you going to be building an integration with Ensemble or HealthShare? Take the following course to learn about the core architecture in building an integration, the parts and pieces involved and the most common ways that data flows through that architecture.

Some days ago Alberto has written a very interesting article about the usefulness of ObjectGenerators available in Caché.

In this article, Alberto shows an example RuleEngine based on XData, and how it is possible to improve the process of filling such rules. Caché Studio has a Studio Asist for XData; you may have already seen examples of it if you use ZEN or %Installer.Manifest.

Let's say the user need to execute some heavy code (build a report, or extensive calculations etc.). So, of course it needs to be asynchronous, and we possibly need to store some data about execution status. How?

Does Caché support a relationship property ordered according to a specifc value? 

What shoud be the best approach?
