Question Stephen Wilson · Aug 3, 2017

I am running a ZBREAK trace on a legacy FDBMS application that uses arrays but rather than displaying the array value contents, I am seeing logs similar to the following.

Trace: ZBREAK SET LINE=Array Val at BIOPWR+6^BIOPWR

My ZBREAK trace settings are as follows: 

ZBREAK /TRACE:ON:"/somedir/trace1.log"
ZBREAK *LINE:"T"

The 'LINE' array has a single integer subscript and some string data. The subscript is sometimes calculated using arbitrary calculations such as S LINE(I-33)="BLAH BLAH BLAH". This makes the code very difficult to read and debug.

Question Rubens Silva · Aug 2, 2017

Hello.

I'm using device redirection to intercept incoming writes and need to figure a smart way to detect when to CLRF in order to prevent misleading outputs.
So basically, if the intercepted write ends with !, I need to know that and prevent my routine from writing ! as well.
Here's the source code for it:
 

ClassMethod Call(sourceControl As %Studio.Extension.Base,hookName As %String = "",parameters... As %String) As %Status [ Internal, ProcedureBlock = 0 ]{new sc, content, implementer, alreadyRedirected, isNewLineTerminator, currentMnemonicset sc = $$$OKset implement

Question Jiri Svoboda · Aug 3, 2017

Hi community,

I have some constants hardcoded in my class as parameter values, and those constants are referenced in many places in my module. Now the need has arisen to provide different value for those parameters depending on some context. Is it possible to create some sort of accessor method for the parameter (like it is possible for properties), or do I need to perform a thorough refactoring?

Thanks.

Jiri

Question BRAD ANDERSON · Jul 31, 2017

Have very little XML experience and have been able to manually create output. Have a need to take data that I store in a M global (example: ^TML("HDATA", ) and out put it in CCDA XML format.

Are there any examples of M code using the XMLWriter to accomplish this?

Or can anyone provide some guidance 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Question Thiago Zenaro · Jul 27, 2017

Hi,

How can I read the stack of another process?

I know about ^JOBEXAM, but I only know how to use through terminal, and I need to get a string, or at least do a method that returns me a string

For example:

I have process A and B

B monitors process A at each second.

B logs information about process A in a table

Informations about lock I get through %SYS.LockQuery and the process through %SYS.Process

How can I get stack of process A from process B to log in the table?

Cache 2015.2.1

Thanks

Question Marek Bernád · Jul 28, 2017

Good day,

I would like to know how to detect in Caché ObjectScript if data saved in string is number and furthermore, if it's type is integer.


I maybe found a solution:
 

set value = "44.2d3"

try{
     set status = $INUMBER(value,"")
     if ('$FIND(+value,".")){
          w "your variable: '"_value_"' is number and integer"
     }else{
          w "variable is number but no integer"
     }
}catch(e){
     w "variable is not number" 
}



But I don't know how to do it correctly or if there exist better solution in COS (or maybe my solution is incorrect).

Thanks in advance for answers.

Question Trung Vu · Jul 31, 2017

Hi everyone,

I am trying to build an application based on real-time streaming data.A back-end program is continually writing to the Cache database, and then the data from the Cache database is retrieved through a REST API by a front-end program.The REST API is static -- it just gives the front-end all the data in the database at the time it was called.

Hello fellow developers,

I am currently in need of a way to serve files dynamically (sending specific replacements for when the requested file doesn't exist, possibly depending on other conditions such as passed parameters).

If you read my previous post that introduced QEWD Micro-Services, you're hopefully eager to learn how to use them.  So in this post I'll explain what you need to know in order to get started.

If you look in the QEWD repository, you'll find the folder: 

  https://github.com/robtweed/qewd/blob/master/example/jwt

In my earlier post on JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) and QEWD I used this example application to explain how to use JWTs. This example application also demonstrates how to set up a simple Micro-Service, in this case a service that handles user authentication.

Globals, these magic swords for storing data, have been around for a while, but not many people can use them efficiently or know about this super-weapon altogether.

If you use globals for tasks where they truly shine, the results may be amazing, either in terms of increased performance or dramatic simplification of the overall solution (1, 2).

Globals offer a special way of storing and processing data, which is completely different from SQL tables. They were first introduced in 1966 in the M(UMPS) programming language, which was initially used in medical databases. It is still used in the same way, but has also been adopted by some other industries where reliability and high performance are top priorities: finance, trading, etc.

Later M(UMPS) evolved into Caché ObjectScript (COS). COS was developed by InterSystems as a superset of M. The original language is still accepted by developers' community and alive in a few implementations. There are several signs of activity around the web: MUMPS Google group, Mumps User's group), effective ISO Standard, etc.

Modern global based DBMS supports transactions, journaling, replication, partitioning. It means that they can be used for building modern, reliable and fast distributed systems.

Globals do not restrict you to the boundaries of the relational model. They give you the freedom of creating data structures optimized for particular tasks. For many applications reasonable use of globals can be a real silver bullet offering speeds that developers of conventional relational applications can only dream of.

Globals as a method of storing data can be used in many modern programming languages, both high- and low-level. Therefore, this article will focus specifically on globals and not the language they once came from.

Question Rubens Silva · Jul 27, 2017

Hello.
I'm having difficulties trying to figure (if possible) how to  create an URL that also matches query parameters.
I tried:
 <Route Url="/:namespace/test(\?id\=):id" Method="GET" Call="Test"/>
 <Route Url="/:namespace/test?(id)=:id" Method="GET" Call="Test"/>
 <Route Url="/:namespace/test?id=:id" Method="GET" Call="Test"/>

But none of these worked.

Is it possible when using %CSP.REST or am I restricted to using route parameters?
Thank you.
EDIT:
 

Forget about the "id" parameter name. It's a bad sample: normally id are by definition, able to be hierarchically included in the URI.
Think on id as

What is APM?

I am talking about Application Performance Management at global summit, and several people have asked what that means so it is time for a bit of an explanation.

APM or Application Performance Management (sometimes referred to as Application Performance Monitoring) has a very good (if complicated) explanation on Wikipedia but to me it just means looking at performance from the users’ point of view and the level of service provided to them.

The ‘user’ in this context could mean a line of business owner who is paying for the application or it could mean someone in front of a screen

Question Sébastien Demoustiez · Jul 25, 2017

Hello,

I try to create an ECP between to CACHE server.

The ECP is working, the remote DB is created and the namespace is created and linked on the remote DB.

The table appears on the server but when I try to access I get this message:

ERREUR #5540: SQLCODE : Message 400 : Process 4076 failed to compile Cached Query Class %sqlcq.###.cls6 with these errors: ERREUR #5002: Erreur Cache: <COLLATION NOT SUPPORTED>getdependencyclasses+54^%occDepend SQLTEXT: SELECT ...

My servers have different cache version: 2016.2 and 2015.2, perhaps that's my problem ?

Thanks in advance

Sébastien

Question Chris Bransden · Jul 25, 2017

Hi! I am trying to automatically populate an array property of cash amounts keyed by currency ("GBP", "USD", etc). This property needs to be NOT stored on the database and visible via SQL and the cache object. 

Here's my attempt. Ultimately the array will be populated based on the the some child classes, but for now I'm just hardcoding it:

Property Amounts As array Of %Numeric [ SqlComputeCode = { set {*} = ##class(ContainerSize).GetTotalAmounts()}, SqlComputed, Transient ];
ClassMethod GetTotalAmounts(thisID) As %Collection.ArrayOfDT{set arrAmounts=##class(%Collection.ArrayOfDT).%New()

In this article I would like to tell you about macros in InterSystems Caché. A macro is a symbolic name that is replaced with a set of instructions during compilation. A macro can “unfold” in various instruction sets each time it is called, depending on the parameters passed to it and activated scenarios. This can be both static code and the result of ObjectScript execution. Let's take a look at how you can use them in your application.

By now it's a commonplace how to implement a basic REST API in Caché and there is good documentation about it here: REST in Caché

A question that comes up from time to time is:

How can I make a parameter in my REST url optional?

Simply put, is it possible to create a URL map in Caché that maps a URL like this:

http://server/API/object///old

While this might look odd, this is actually a valid URL. You can read the details in RFC3986 section 3.3.

The framework provided by %CSP.Rest actually allows us to create maps that match the above URL.

hi

  I query large mount of rows from one table with JDBC, and will prompt <store> error.  I found that it was out of process memory (default 16M, max 49M in version 2010.2) .

  so my question is : how to release memory for large  mount of rows  query? or how to resolve this error?

I get a third party routine which outputs some messages to standard output during execution.

Is it possible that I could direct the messages to other device so my terminal would never see this messages?

Thanks.
