Question Archunan K · Nov 14, 2016

Hi All,

              I have configured my application with IIS 8.5 in windows server 2012.

             I have tried to generate sample HTML report . The issue is

                 when the url is like 'http:\\192.168.1.2\test...mode='html'....'    the reports are generated successfully.

                 but while using systemname like 'http:\\mysystemname\test....mode='html'...' the reports are not generated and throws error like

"   The XML page cannot be displayed Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet.

I get this on some queries in some namespaces.  For instance, this query:

SELECT TOP 10 SessionId, datediff(s,min(TimeCreated),max(TimeCreated)) as ResponseTime
FROM ens.messageheader
GROUP BY SessionId
ORDER BY ResponseTime DESC

It works fine in HSBUS but in HSREG it throws the error.

Server closed communication device

Does anyone know what would cause this? Would it log something more useful somewhere?

I am pleased to announce the field test of Caché and Ensemble 2017.1, including many new improvements.

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

Some of the more significant changes in 2017.1 are the new RESTful APIs for iKnow, FIPS 140-2 validated cryptography for Caché database encryption, and improved DocBook search.  As always there are a host of scalability and performance improvements to the core database and SQL.  And hundreds of smaller improvements and corrections.

Question Paul Coviello · Nov 16, 2016

looking for what the timeout value is for the connection for shadowing. and if it is known the timeout for mirroring also.

I'm currently getting this error and when we go to mirroring it would be good to know also, this way we can go back to our network vendor and give them as much info as possible.

10/19/16-12:19:40:696 (d30b6) 2 [SHADOWING] SHADOW SERVER (PRODSHAD): <ZREAD>ReadNone+3^SHDWUTIL;ERROR #1071: TCP read timed out - remote server is not responding (repeated 16 times)

thanks

The technology of load balancing between several servers with relatively low capacity has been a standard feature of Caché for quite a while. It is based on the distributed cache technology called ECP (Enterprise Cache Protocol). ECP provides a host of possibilities for horizontal scaling of an application, and yet keeping the project budget fairly low. Another apparent advantage of ECP network is the possibility to conceal its architecture in the depths of Caché configuration so that applications developed for the traditional (vertical) architecture can be fairly easily migrated to a horizontal ECP environment. The ease of this process is so mesmerizing, that you start wishing it was always this way. For instance, everybody is used to having a possibility to control Caché processes: the $Job system variable and associated classes/functions work magic in skilful hands. Stop, but now processes can end up being on different Caché servers…

This article is about how to gain as much transparency in controlling processes in ECP environment as in traditional (non ECP) one.

Hi,

I try to programmatically create a parameter for a dataCombo ZEN Component (which is in turn created on the server side at runtime).

Set tParm = ##class(%ZEN.Auxiliary.parameter).%New()
Set tParm.id = "pRegion#"_pExamContainerCount, tParm.name = "pRegion#"_pExamContainerCount

Set tExam = ##class(%ZEN.Component.dataCombo).%New()
Set tExam.id = "Exam#"_pExamContainerCount, tExam.label = "Untersuchung", tExam.queryClass = "Inventory.ServiceCatalog", tExam.queryName = "QGetExaminations", tExam.showEmpty = "false", tExam.size = "52", tExam.onchange = "zenPage.updateExamDescription(zenThis.

Question Wendy Griffiths · Nov 17, 2016

Hi

I'm trying to use the ##class(%File).RemoveDirectory utility to delete a windows folder. The folder has nothing in it, but it is not getting deleted.

I've tried doing Set sc=##class(%File).RemoveDirectory(file,.return) and return is returning a -2.  I've also tried changing it to .Delete in case that worked, but I got the same. 

I've tried it on my local instance and on a customer site on an older version of Cache that doesn't have the return parameter, but it also fails to delete the folder on there too.

file is the full filename and path and the .Delete works fine when used on files.

Question Steve Riddle · Nov 9, 2016

Hi,

I have a process that is importing lots of data from an external file, but every now and then I come across a STORE error.

I know that the STORE error is occurring in the %Save method of the class but I know very little else and I think its something to do with a lage amounts of Related Objects.

Is there a method of finding out more information regarding this error i.e. which actual object was being saved etc etc.

Thanks

Jim

Question Mikko Laitamäki · Nov 15, 2016

Hi All,

I have SourceControl utility class as in sys namespace

 Class %MW.Web Extends %CSP.Page {... }

Previously with Cache 2010.1 and below  there was no problem accessing it through

localhost:57772:/csp/myns/%MW.Web.cls

But now with newer version at least with  2016.2  I' ll get Forbidden message from it.

With Web Gateway HTTP Trace Facility 

GET /csp/ipanax2/%MW.Web.cls HTTP/1.1  

​-->  HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden  

How can we make it accessible again? 
 

 Mikko

Question Mikhail Khomenko · Nov 10, 2016

Running TuneTable accounts among other the parameter named Block Count. In documentation, we see that this is an approximate numbers of 2K-blocks in which SQL-maps are stored. Databases in recent Cache doesn't support 2K-physical blocks so SQL-blocks are not physical blocks as it seems. So two questions:

- what are these blocks?

- how knowledge about count of blocks can help in SQL optimization?

Thanks for intelligent answer to stupid questions!

Question Marc Mundt · Aug 9, 2016

A new Health Connect customer has a few experienced Java folks on their interface team. As they get more into Health Connect and learn Caché ObjectScript they thought it would be useful to have a list of common Java statements with an equivalent statement in ObjectScript. They mentioned string manipulation as an example, but would be interested in other areas as well.
 
This seems like something that is probably already floating around somewhere. Does anyone have something like this or other "COS jumpstart for Java devs" materials?
Thanks,
Marc

I'm working on a REST service which will include a binary stream as a request property. I'm currently encoding the stream as BASE64 and passing it as a string value, but I was wondering if there is anything in the Caché JSON support that may be a better fit for encoding this data? Thanks Chris

Microsoft Office has components for using in third party applications: COM Objects for C++ and Interop Assemblies for .Net programming.

Many Cache projects used to include calls to those libraries. However, recently this solution started being problematic.

There are two main reasons - legal and technical. Let’s check the details.

Microsoft technology support

Microsoft is supporting Office Automation only for desktop computing. 

It shall not be used for server computing, as they offer Sharepoint for this scenario.

Question Uri Shmueli · Nov 10, 2016

Hi all,

We've found that in most cases when we open a new CSP session the CGI varaiable %CGIEVAR("HTTP_COOKIE") contains the client name.

It looks like that : "state=SYSADM%3A0; Username=Urish; CSPWSERVERID=Cache for Windows (x86-64) 2013.1.1 (Build 501_1_13062) Sun Aug 11..."
In some other cases this CGI only contains  $zv - like "CSPWSERVERID=Cache for Windows (x86-64) 2013.1.1 (Build 501_1_13062) Sun Aug 11 2013 23:20:33 EDT"

We are searching for a way to get the username (we need to stop using activex controls, like WScript.Network-->

This is a list of all the posts in the Data Platforms’ capacity planning and performance series in order. Also a general list of my other posts. I will update as new posts in the series are added.


You will notice that I wrote some posts before IRIS was released and refer to Caché. I will revisit the posts over time, but in the meantime, Generally, the advice for configuration is the same for Caché and IRIS. Some command names may have changed; the most obvious example is that anywhere you see the ^pButtons command, you can replace it with ^SystemPerformance.

We are trying to understand how websocket connections from a javascript client may timeout in cache. Does anyone know if and of the session timeout or any other timeouts apply to any synchronous websocket connections? I have not been able to prove that they do timeout at all.

This article explains the basics of OpenVMS file structures, from a Caché prospective, and what you need to know to read and write any OpenVMS file with Caché, even the files with difficult file structures.

On UNIX and Windows all files are just a stream of octets (eight-bit bytes). Assigning meaning to those octets is done entirely by convention. Those conventions are rather simple, even if slightly different on UNIX and Windows.

Question sansa stark · Nov 10, 2016

Hi All,

We are accessing the InterSystems`s cache database via UNIX ODBC and displaying the data in PHP website . Recently we have upgraded the PHP version to 5.6.  We are getting the nondisplayable characters (�) for only strings. But the numbers and date fields are displaying correctly. 

While querying the database via ISQL everything working fine (No Special characters).

I have looked around the internet and found the PHP 5.6 changed the default character to UTF-8.

For this issue anything, we can do from cache side.

cache version :

Cache for Windows (x86-32) 2016.

Question GUILHERME CRUZ DA CUNHA · Nov 10, 2016

Hello, I would like to know if CACHE has any limitations on uploading files.
Why am I asking this, why am I going through a problem here.
What happens is that when uploading files or images that are larger than 2.7 MB CACHE is limiting the size to 2.7 MB, any file larger than that is saved corrupted.
Already at the time of uploading the file or image, CACHE is limiting the size of the file to 2.6 MB.
