Code coverage and performance optimization of code has come up a bunch of times already, so most of you should already be aware of the SYS.MONLBL utility. Often a visual approach to looking at code is much more intuitive than pure numbers, which is pretty much the whole point of this article series. This time we will take a slight excursion away from python and its tools and are going to explore generating heatmaps from ^%SYS.MONLBL reports.

As a quick reminder a heatmap is just a specific visualization tool, which gives us an overview of data where colors represent a certain value.

Hi!

I'm trying to insert a relationship from a parent object instance to a child object instnace programmatically. Ie, i want to do:

Do parentObject.childRefProperty.Insert(chilDobject)

where childRefProperty is defined by a string. I feel this should be achievable with $PROPERTY and/or $METHOD or maybe something in $SYSTEM.OBJ.*, but can't quite figure it out. Anyone know?

Cheers :)

We finished our last lesson with our Widgets Direct page receiving a Welcome message as a property of a JSON object, which was unpacked and displayed on the page. However, we are on Lesson 3, and we still haven't had any talk of displaying widgets yet.  

Let's change that.  Widgets Direct are a leader in widget and widget accessories, so we clearly have numerous items to display.   To transfer this, we will need to declare and return our first array.  Let's go back to our REST.Dispatch class, and add this data to our Service.

Adding an array is simple, but we need to set up some temporary

On the back of my recent post on writing bug-less code I wanted to raise a few suggestions (to ISC) that would help prevent certain types of bugs at compile time. I've probably missed a few, but these are the main ones in my mind. Please contribute more suggestions.

Btw, these also serve as potential gotchas for new COS developers.

I except that introducing these types of changes can cause legacy code problems.Particularly where developers do some interesting overloading of method arguments.

I only recently noticed the presence of a local database named CACHE alongside the more familiar CACHESYS, CACHELIB, CACHETEMP and CACHEAUDIT.

A bit of digging through the documentation archive led me to conclude that the CACHE database arrived in 2010.2, where the release notes say:

 

Note the lack of an accent on the words I have highlighted.

The above documentation is incorrect when it says "this database is mounted as read-only".In fact it is mounted RW.But the %DB_CACHE security resource that controls access to it only grants R as its public permission.

Question Arto Alatalo · Apr 11, 2017

I have classes A and B, B derived from A, A has method Abc.

From INT of class B I see that compiler copies implementation of Abc to class B, so that Abc exists both in A and B.

As result, when B invokes Abs, B.Abs() is executed instead of A.Abs(). In result debuger is not able to step into Abs and breakpoints in A.Abs never hit.

Why this happens and how can I avoid this?

Update:

OK, now I know the reason: compiler makes the copy if Abc has this line:

cn=##Expression($$$quote(%classname))

hmmmm...compiler needs name of method's class so it "moves" the method to child class.

Question Stella Ticker · Apr 11, 2017

There is a large file that needs to be processed, with over 500 000 rows. Each row needs to be verified for various data and then all the results collated and reported into a single report.  What is the most efficient way to do this? I tried calling the processing function with Job , where each function jobbed off would report results to a different node of a common global. But the jobbed functions are not updating their respective rows even though I am passing the global name and root node. What is the most efficient way to process this large file? Any Cache/Ensemble ideas are appreciated.

I have done Python - Cache binding setup following the guide from http://docs.intersystems.com/latest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY…. I have also run test.py from sample3 folder and it able to run and complete successfully.

However, when I try to run the same test.py code via $zf, it gives error with exit code 1.

I've tried running help("intersys.pythonbind3") via $zf and also running from Cache terminal as follows:

  1. $zf(-1,"C:\Python36\python <path>/script.py")
  2. ! C:\Python36\python <path>/script.py

which gives me the following output:

problem in intersys.pythonbind3 - ImportError:

Hi,

Terminal says "Unable to open Registry key 'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\CommonFilesDir.1" when I execute $$Register^SNMP().

For monitoring purposes I want to use SNMP in Ensemble. One of the steps I have to do is to use the method $$Register^SNMP() in the terminal "%SYS" namespace. This is mentioned in a Intersystems Docs page.

Monitoring Caché Using SNMP

  • Caché expects the SNMP service to be installed before you install Caché, so it can add iscsnmp.dll to the proper Registry keys. Once Caché is installed, the SNMP service must be restarted so that it properly loads iscsnmp.

Question Raul Munoz · Apr 4, 2017

Hello,

I have been involved with using terminal scripts lately (I use GE Centricity Business), that usually do not go beyond 'send:' and 'wait for:' commands. Notwithstanding, I have been stuck with the message boxes since the script recorder does not record over this whenever I need to click 'Yes' in a given message box prompt which aggressively stops my scripts/macros from continuing. I know that this commands are labeled 'Extended Escape Sequences', but I have been looking all over at the Intersystems document repository with no luck in finding anything of the sort.

Question Sebastian Thiele · Apr 7, 2017

Hi,

is there a way to implement the behaviour for a zen dataCombo? Let´s assume the dataCombo retrieves it´s data via sql query, lets say 50 records. Now the user type into the input of the datacombo 'a', which shall auto select the first entry beginning with character 'a'. If the type 'a' again, the next item from the list is selected. What I am looking for is an approach to implement such an behaviour. See a simple <select> component which support the desired functionality out-of the box.

I´ve found an old google group entry on this
