Oracle plans to deprecate the much-maligned Java browser plugin in JDK 9. For years, the bundled plugin put users at risk with its numerous security flaws. The web is clearly moving to a plugin-free state, which is a good direction.

If you are relying on the Java browser plugin, you should take a look at Java Web Start.

Here is the official blog post by Oracle:

This is a nice introductory explanation of MQTT that I thought would be of general interest. The technology used for the broker in this case is not that important as there are several brokers available.

At global summit we will be demonstrating ways to use MQTT with Ensemble to get information from the Internet of Things into your enterprise applications and business processes,

In some project, I found the need to use SMIME format https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3851.txt, basically is an standard used to wrap a message together with its signature using a certificate (usually X509). Ensemble don't have a single class to do that but inside the Ensemble installation we have the openssl utility, so in this example I use the "openssl smime" command to sign or verify a message.

The example has two Business Process that able to sign or verify and in order to test I made a simple production.

Hope this helps

Question Scott Beeson · Jan 21, 2016

So calling this lookup manually from the console works as expected:

PHR>set key = "WMMC_IMM"
PHR>w ##class(Ens.Util.FunctionSet).Lookup("BlockFeed",key)
1

However, calling it from a method with some concatination to build the key is giving me problems:

ClassMethod canSendToState(iParticipant As %String, iFeed As %String) As %Boolean
{
    set = iParticipant _ "_" _ iFeed
    w "Looking up " _ k,!
    set = ..Lookup("BlockFeed",k,"not found")
    w "x = " _ x,!
}
PHR>w ##class("Custom.MHC.Common.Functions").canSendToState("WMMC","IMM")
Looking up WMMC_IMM
x = not found

I really don't understand.

I'm working on some custom utility functions that I can utilize in Business Rules as well as other places.  I saw this line in the docs:

For each function you wish to define, add a class method to your new function set class. There is no support for polymorphism, so to be precise, you must mark these class methods as final.

 but I didn't really know what it meant.  I didn't run into any problems until I tried calling one of my new methods from another method.  Removing the [ Final ] fixed the issue, but I'm guessing that means I can't call them from Business Rules now?

Any clarification would be

Hi,

I'm trying to create a Zen Report that, when rendered to PDF has a header on every page that includes some items from the group that I'm iterating over in the <body>.  I can't use <header> as that only displays once for each iteration, even if that spans more than one page, but <pageheader> seems to be independent of <body> so again doesn't work.

Cheers,

Steve.

Hi
I'm starting to play around with dynamically creating tabs and panes from query data, and was trying to do the following, with nested tabs.

Tab Group

High level tabs

Sub Tab Group

Sub tabs from the High level tabs.


So I have built up my page with a placeholder top level tab group, then creating and added child tabs to this, then from this level, I have created a new Tab Group programatically, and programmatically added tabs to this new group. However, all I am getting is the top level of tabs, with all of the leaf data concatenated under it.

New to CSP and Zen.  I've been going through tutorials and have made some progress.  Using the "Contacts" tutorial as an example, I'm trying to create a "ViewContact" page.  I want this to be linkable so I'm using URI Parameters, which I understand.  However, what I'm not sure about is how to retrieve a specific record.  Should I use a SQL statement?  If so, how?

Let's say I just wanted to display the property "Name" for the contact with ID 12.  What would be the best way to do so?

Question Scott Beeson · Jan 13, 2016

I created a Zen page with a header. All is good. I then created a new Zen page and during the wizard specified that it was a "subclass of a template page". So now I have Class Custom.App.HomePage Extends Custom.App.TemplateMaster. If I visit HomePage.cls I see the header from the template. However, the HomePage class has no XData Contents section so I have no idea how to actually add content. I tried adding the section but once I do then I don't see the template content anymore.

So, how do I put content in a page that extends another page as a template?

In an Ensemble message bus that has a Business Service which extends EnsLib.SOAP.Service, I have the option to support SOAP Sessions by setting the parameter SOAPSESSION=1.

The comments says this also effects license consumption.

In what way  is license consumption effected ?

Hi,

Is there any API equivalent (within Config.Databases class, or elsewhere) that has the same functionality as the 'Recreate a database' option in the ^DATABASE routine?

This option was added to ^DATABASE (according to internal Devlog CFL1263):

to recreate a database which is equivalent to deleting the .DAT file and recreating it.

I tested this, and the recreate option also appears to also preserve the original database parameters (e.g.max size, resource name).

Hi!
I am working on a project and I am facing a weird problem. I have created an MDX using Analyzer. This MDX executes very fast. I am trying to automate its execution with %DeepSee.ResultSet and the query never returns:

Set tSC = oMDX.%PrepareMDX(tMDX)
Quit:$System.Status.IsError(tSC)

Set tSC = oMDX.%Execute()
Quit:$System.Status.IsError(tSC)

What could be causing %Execute() to take so long to run while Analyzer is responding fast?

I can see that the process that is executing the %Execute() method is on HANGW state.I am assuming that it is waiting for another process.

A client stated to me that they are trying to eliminate SMTP servers from their network and want all email to be sent through their Microsoft Exchange Server.  Admittedly I am not very knowledgable of the workings of Exchange Server.

Are there customers sending email notifications through Exchange Server?  How is this accomplished?  Does Exchange Server act as a SMTP server allowing use of the Email adapter or is there some other mechanism that must be used to communicate with a Microsoft Exchange Server?

There seems to be little point to journal audit db updates; why rollback an audit entry for an attempted update?

I’m working on some auditing code and I have a few questions (feel free to respond regarding 2016.1 or later).

  1. I’ve noticed that there is little point of journaling updates to an audit database, as the Audit log is essentially an additional journal. Is there any reason not to disable journaling for audit log updates?
  2. I’d like to audit even transactions that get rolled back, preferably with information that the rollback occurred (this could be a second audit entry).
