#Caché

I've been trying to write a method to compare two local variables, which may be arrays, for "equality" - that is, to see if they have all the same subscripts (if they're arrays) and values. This is the best I've come up with so far - are there any better/simpler approaches out there?

/// Returns true if arrays <var>first</var> and <var>second</var> have all the same subscripts and all
/// the same values at those subscripts.

Does anybody know how can I get the DocumentId property from a DocDM repository using SQL?. So far my SQL is like this:

SELECT name,email,gender FROM JSON_TABLE(
  'person',
  '$' COLUMNS(
    name VARCHAR(100) PATH '$.name',
    email VARCHAR(100) PATH '$.email',
    gender VARCHAR(2) PATH '$.gender'
  )
) 

Thanks!

NewBie's Corner Session 11 Routine Line Types and Gotos

Welcome to NewBie's Corner, a weekly or biweekly post covering basic Caché Material.

InterSystems Caché provides a GUI (Graphical User Interface) based Integrated Development Environment (IDE) called Caché Studio. Developers can use Studio to create and maintain applications.

In this session we will cover Routine Line types; which are Label lines, Executable code lines and the Routine Header line as well as Gotos.

Routine Line types
Labels and Executable Code lines
Executable Code lines starts in column two, or many developers just hit the tab.

I am writing a static SOAP response to simply test connectivity. The end users is getting an error "Message: The processing instruction target matching [xX][mM][lL] is not allowed.", which I believe is related to white space. if I observe the response, it looks like there are two blank lines between the header and the body, which I'm guessing is the white space problem. But I can't seem to get rid of it.

Any ideas?

Code:

<script language="Cache" method="OnPreHTTP" arguments="" returntype="%Boolean">
     Set %response.ContentType = "text/xml"
    Quit 1</script>
<?xml version="1.

InterSystems has corrected a defect with Mirroring that can impact data integrity

The defect is present in all released versions Caché, Ensemble, and HealthShare beginning with 2015.2.0. It is present for all platforms and affects both failover and asynchronous mirroring configurations.

I need to pass an equivalent of .Net Dictionary<string, int> instance from .Net to Caché. In the application, the Caché .Net provider has been used so far, so we came up with passing it as an instance of array of data types. However, the only way to fill the array we are aware of is to use its Add() method which invokes a call to the server instance method of the array for every key-value pair inserted.

Is there any way to fill the array at once - inserting all the pairs in one server call? Alternatively, is their any other .Net (Provider or eXTreme) API we can use for this task?

This is a cross-post so remove if i'm breaking a rule, i just wasn't sure if i was posting to the right place. I've been to the globalsdb website and it doesn't look like i'm going to get much help from there.  

NewBie's Corner Session 8 Not

Welcome to NewBie's Corner, a weekly or biweekly post covering basic Caché Material.

Click on the Caché Cube in your system tray and select Terminal to try out these commands.

NOT operator ('), single quote or apostrophe 

The "NOT" operator reverses the truth-value and is intended for numeric operands, however it can be used on alphanumeric operands.

I am trying to write this loop as efficient as possible.  The global has over 10 million records.

SET PIDX=""    
For
 { 
              Set PIDX=$ORDER(^[Nspace]LAB(PIDX))
              Quit:PIDX=""  
              Set Data=$GET(^[Nspace]LAB(PIDX))
              Set BBData=$P(Data,"\",6)
              If BBData'=""
              {
              If BBData'="########"
              {

Am I better off not setting the variable BBData and using If $P(Data,"\",6)'=""

Also, is there a better way to write the two If statements in one line so it only continues if it is either "" or ########

 I try going to http://www.globalsdb.org  not much help there. I'm wanting to use this for a personal project of mine,  if needed i can go to GT.M I just haven't used a linux machine in quite some time and i was hoping to hit the ground running. Any help is appreciated. 

Hello!

In Caché there is a way to print all current variables using write command without arguments:

But is there a way to get a list of this variables? I am looking for something that would return value like $LB("Einstein", "Mozart") for this case.

Thanks!

I want to show my script which I use for a completion in bash, for ccontrol and csession.

Hi, after installed Healthshare 2015.2, all the tables previously correctly listed working with Healtshare 2014.1 are NOT listed anymore. TrakCare tables are not listed in the catalogue, nor by the WinSQL Intellisense.

Does anybody know a trick or have a hint to resume this useful functionality back?  

Thanks.

I've created a CSP page to take in a base64 value from a <textarea> and decode it. When I run it I get the error . Any ideas?

Error: <ILLEGAL VALUE>zOnPageBODY+28^csp.decode.1

Hi!

Here is the question in Russian Forum regarding roots extracting.

In Caché ObjectScript we use exponentiation operator (**) to raise an exponent to power. F.e. let's raise 3 to power of 3: 

USER> write 3**3 

27

And we use the same operator to extract the root. 

USER> write 27**(1/3) 

2.999999999999999963

And 2.999999999999999963 is not 3, obviously.

How to extract roots properly in Caché ObjectScript?

Long story short, I created some test data, then deleted it. The database (cache.dat) is 67 GB in size (was around 1 GB before tests).

How do I compact that?

I have a MySQL server with "posts" table.

I also have a Caché server with "downloadedposts" table. 

They are connected from Caché to MySQL via SQL Gateway

I want to keep Caché table synced with MySQL one  (MySQL "posts" table is a master copy), so periodically Caché queries MySQL server and downloads data. So far so good, and if a record appears or changes in MySQL table, Caché downloads the changes.

The problem I'm encountering is that sometimes rows would be deleted from  MySQL "posts" table.

How do I synchronize deletions?

Steve Glassman is on vacation today so in his place I wanted to announce the availability of a new kit for the 2016.2 Field Test. The kit details are: 2016.2.0.665.0

There is a wide range of changes to the 2016.2 Field Test, 145 of them in total.  You can find a complete listing here:

I am pleased to announce the next 2016.2 field test kit, 2016.2.0.677.0.

I haven’t sent an update to this thread in a while and it should come as no surprise that there has been quite a lot of development going on since I wrote about build 632.  In fact, there have been almost 300 changes covering most areas of the product.

Can anybody share a code looking for 'dead' locks?

It's not trivial to find such locks manually when there are many records in lock table.

I am testing application code and want to simulate error conditions. 

I am trying to use the following to define a custom error with a class method.

$SYSTEM.Status.Error($$$GeneralError,"Any text here")

My class method code looks like this....

set RunStatus=$System.Status.Error($$$GeneralError,"DXL Testing Run Error")

Class compile fails because the $$$GeneralError is unknown. 

ERROR: DBMS.Reports.TaskPage.1(5) : MPP5610 : Referenced macro not defined: 'GeneralError'
 TEXT: set RunStatus=$System.

InterSystems is pleased to announce that Caché and Ensemble 2016.1.1 are now available on all supported platforms.

This followup announcement adds all the OpenVMS versions that were excluded in the announcement last week.

In this article I'll describe how to set up web services and/or REST services using EWD 3.

Since EWD 3 is designed to be modular, you can construct the environment that exactly meets your needs, but for much of the time you'll probably find that the pre-built EWD 3 ewd-xpress super-module does most of what you need because it hooks together all the core EWD 3 and other building-blocks you'll need:

• the Node.js web server that pretty much everyone now uses: Express
• Caché (via the ewd-qoper8-cache module, which, in turn, relies on the cache.

As Rob explained in an earlier post, Caché's Node.js interface allows you to create Web Services and REST Services using the very modular EWD 3 framework.

These services by default return a JSON response with Content-Type: application/json and the response body contains the JSON you return using the finished() method, so:

finished({ test: 'test response' });

returns

{ "test": "test response" }

with a HTTP content-type of application/json

For other external services and tools like e.g.

Recently I have been posting some updates to our JSON capabilities and I am very glad that so many of you provided feedback. Today I would like to focus on another facet: Producing JSON with a SQL query.

Hi -

I'm trying to rewind a cursor back to the first row after looping part of the way through the implied result set, but I'm not finding a way to make this happen, is there some such iterator variable or directive that I can leverage to accomplish this?

I could code around it by pulling identifiers and/or values into a local array, and then hand code up an iterator over my local results copy, but this feels like a "redesigning of a wheel" approach, and I thought I would check before I start down this path.

Thanks
