I am pleased to announce the field test of Caché and Ensemble 2016.2 -  an exciting new release with improvements on many different fronts.

The entire product team at InterSystems looks forward to your participation in the field test and feedback over the coming months.

Some of the more profound changes in 2016.2 include:

• Atelier - the new multi-platform IDE for Caché, Ensemble and HealthShare.

Hi -

I was looking at the “Purge Data Management” page, and one of the “Record Types” is the “I/O Log” which sometimes doesn’t clear when you purge all of the message.

But I’m not sure what it’s actually reporting as “I/O Log” messages (and I can’t find anyplace to view what is being considered I/O Logged Messages - so I can understand what’s happening)

Can anyone shed some light on these messages?

Hello,

I am experimenting with the iKnow Domain Architect in the 2016.2 field test.

I would like to know if it is possible to load metadata from text files. This was possible in previous versions, using the Loading Wizard.

I have checked the documentation and I do not see any explanation for loading metadata held in text files. Thank you!

Hello! 

We use iKnow's GetSimilar for decision making. Right now we have a domain with both good and bad documents and using GetSimilar we want to see if a document is more similar to the good ones or the bad ones. To do this we simply compare the weighted average of the score from the good ones and the bad ones that GetSimilar returns.  

The problem is that GetSimilar doesn't always return the score to all other documents. Assuming we have 50 documents I would expect the following result:

DO ##class(%iKnow.Queries.SourceAPI).GetSimilar(.

If you are waiting for the Kindle Edition of Caché and MUMPS – Part II, I must apologize. I believed what others told me that once I have a book manuscript, the Kindle manuscript will be easy. Being a programmer I should have remembered: "never assume anything." The conversion to Kindle is proving a much bigger task than I thought. But don't lose heart, I am working full time on it. I have as my goal before May 1^st. But, then again, you know what they say about goals. ;) - - Paul Mike Kadow

Hi Community: I have a legacy Caché based app that has Zlogin or %Zlogin routine. I understand that such routine will be invoked as soon as the user logs in. Can someone tell me where to find such routine? The namespace where the user connects to? Or in CACHESYS? Thanks, HT

In Atelier when resolving conflicts with the server the screen shows the Local copy and Server copy and the differences, but depending on where the difference is you cannot tell what what the document is, you need to scroll to the top to see what it is before deciding what to do.  It should indicate the class or routine name beside "Conflicting Server documents"

I believe the I have followed the instructions to attach a document to the body of a post request but nothing is being sent out in the files{} port of the request.  I can either get the stream in "data", not visible at all, or visible but no form data. Any help would be appreciated, below is what I have:

ClassMethod SendFax(phone As %String, coverpath As %String, docpath As %String) As %String
{
     Set req = ##class(%Net.HttpRequest).%New()
    //test server
    Set req.Server = "httpbin.org"
    Set req.SSLConfiguration = "CardChoice"
    
    Do req.InsertFormData("Username",##class(HData.

At the end of this year support for OpenSSL 1.0.1 will end. InterSystems has started the process to move to OpenSSL 1.0.2 and use the 1/28/2016 release (1.0.2f) for verification and product inclusion. I will update this post once InterSystems  decided which versions will receive  support for OpenSSL 1.0.2.

Stream datatypes are not displayed when you execute SQL (in SMP for example).

Learn the basics about Caché objects.

Please consider these two concepts:

Concept 1 - Web Service or Web Application or Server Side

Concept 2 - Client Service or Client Application or Client Side

Maybe I am just a Web/Zen newbie, if I am and you all understand this, I apologize. (no nasty remarks please)

The questions are numbered, if you wish to respond to an individual question please precede it by the question number.

1. Is there consistency in naming these concepts?

2. Are CSP, Caché Server Pages used for the Web Server Side only? Or both sides?

We need to add some stored data to an ACK message being sent back to the originating system.  I have been looking at how to adapt the standard "EnsLib.HL7.MsgRouter.RoutingEngine" to do this as I cannot see any obvious way.  Any suggestion?

Version: 1.0.123

Cache for UNIX (Apple Mac OS X for x86-64) 2016.2 (Build 619U) Thu Mar 17 2016

After deleting a class on the server, Atelier still wants to believe it exists.  I even deleted the project and the server.  After re-creating them, it still believes the class exists.  I log in with studio and it shows the class has been removed.

If I attempt to open the class in the server explorer, I get a null pointer exception, but I can open any other class.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Whichever way you want to look at it, their numbers are impressive... growing revenue year-on-year of 69% is amazing... and now they are opening DCs in Canada and India...

Do you use any public cloud? Any private one?

An XML-enabled class has an XMLExport() method that knows how to serialize an instance to XML. To export all instances of a class to a file, I need to instantiate a writer and loop through the extent. Is there no class method like XMLExportToFile() that does this in one go?

I am trying to debug a class on Atelier and it is not stopping at the defined breakpoint.

Atelier IDE Version: 1.0.107 - Cloud Connection

I have already taken a look at the Community´s Atelier Debugging Video and followed the steps without success.

Can anybody help me on that?

Tks. 

I am happy to announce the immediate availability of  Caché and Ensemble 2016.1.

The highlights of 2016.1 are

• Significant improvements in JSON support
• Continued advances in SQL performance
• Database scalability improvements
• New REST services for DeepSee

These and other new features are summarized in this video introduction to 2016.1

For complete technical details of what’s changed in 2016.1, review the Caché release notes and the Ensemble release notes.  

Straight-forward way to do it is well known and looks like this: 
------------------------------------------------------------ sample #1 --------

echo "Try to freeze Cache instance $instance"
rm -f $mydir/db_temp
csession $instance -U%SYS << EOF >/dev/null
zn "%SYS"
set rc=##Class(Backup.General).ExternalFreeze()
set fn="$mydir/db_temp"
o fn:("WNS"):1 if \$t u fn w rc c fn
h
EOF
read rc < db_temp
if [ "$rc" = "1" ]
then
 echo ".

Introduction - Analyzing Textual Big Data

Big Data for Enriching Analytical Capabilities - Big data is revolutionizing the world of business intelligence and analytics. Gartner predicts that big data will drive $232 billion in spending through 2016, Wikibon claims that by 2017 big data revenue will have grown to $47.8 billion, and McKinsey Global Institute indicates that big data has the potential to increase the value of the US health care industry by $300 billion and to increase the industry value of Europe's public sector administration by Ä250 billion.

I have a %Net.Request object and I want to get a full URL of the request sent (preferably after all redirects, but even full initial one would be good). For example, I have the following method:

Have you ever needed to find a record for a particular person in your inbound data stream?  

Searching messages will enable you to find messages using an array of search capabilities.

I want to determine what service (eg. %Service_Console) is used for current process.

I can probably use some workarounds, i.e.

• Is %request object present
• Does $Device  contain |TRM|
• etc

But is there any centralised way to get current service?

Here are a few tips that might be useful to people who are running applications in an environment that's configured to use InterSystems mirroring.

• If you configure an ECP connection to a Caché instance that is a mirror member databases then the ECP connection should also have mirroring enabled (tick the mirroring box when defining the connection). More details here. You may also need to increase the number of ECP connections each end accepts, to cater for the way both members of a mirror pair get involved in ECP negotiation.

Is there a required bandwith between client and server for using Studio on a normal basis ?

Thanks

Hi,

posted some weeks ago in the "old" ZEN Google Group, maybe someone here can help to understand how to properly setting up a csp applications and contributing from the build-in caché security mechanism.

I´ve created a webapplication and wan´t to add further security to it using the smp. But... first things first.

I have two Databases let´s say DB1-LOGIN and DB2-Application. Each of this DBs has a resource assigned. DB1-LOGIN has a resource %DB1-LOGIN which has a public permission of 'read'.

Among the outputs of our Yuzinji tool are two code metrics that it can be interesting to track over time as a development project proceeds. These are Size and XS. The first is fairly straightforward. As you write more code the size of your codebase increases. The XS metric (pronounced "excess") aims to quantify excessive structural complexity. XS is explained in some detail in this 2006 whitepaper from Headway Software, whose Structure101 toolset Yuzinji leverages.

By analyzing a codebase using Yuzinji at key milestones we can investigate how these metrics change.

We have to route messages in a Process Class by their source (using either the SourceConfigName from the Message Header or the Source in the Message Body.  

The inputs are standard HL7 messages from different Services but need to be routed on to different Processes depending on where they come from (not my design & I can't change it now) does any one have any suggestions how I could do this?

Thanks
