Please advise.

Thanks,

This can be done with TRY-CATCH:

 #dim ex As %Exception.AbstractException
 TRY {
    //Code that causes an error
  }
  CATCH ex {
     do ex.Log()
  }

If you use ^%ETN, call it from the BACK entry (BACK^%ETN).

Please also take a look at the related article: How to get application errors (^ERRORS) using a command

Is there a way in ObjectScript to return the OS user of the superserver? I know %SYS.ProcessQuery can find this for a given process but is there a clean way independent of a specific process ID I can find the OS user used for background jobs?

For IRIS this is usually irisusr and Caché this is usually cacheusr but may vary based on installation and upgrade history of an instance. I would find it very useful to determine programmatically if a process is running as this particular user when the username may vary.

Looking for a SQL query or any other method to find the Unique/distinct message counts for all productions or at least per production namespace within a given time frame. For e.g TimeCreated = January 2025 (Whole month)

I have used the following, but its not restricting the numbers based on the TimeCreated filter. Every time a new message is processed by system, its added to the total. I am running the query in today's date

Select Sum(MsgCount)

From

(Select DISTINCT TargetConfigName, count(DISTINCT SessionID) as MsgCount

FROM ENS.

If there is a way we can find how much a particular namespace is utilizing the O/S CPU and memory, that will be great in resource utilixation as well as capacity planning.

The compile step in VS Code when using the InterSystems VS Code extensions appears to modify line endings in our class files when newly pulled from remote repo.

What steps can we take to stop this happening? / What settings can we modify?

We are doing local development with client side source control using git (BitBucket Cloud repository). We were previously using GitLab (locally hosted) and didn't have this issue. Developers are all on Windows machines, as are all the Ensemble instances. We believe we have autocrlf = true in all our local git configurations.

I have a repeatable field within HL7 that I want to create a List from. Do I have to initialize the List by using $LB, or can I just use $LI to keep adding on to the end of the list as it is looping through the field?

As of InterSystems IRIS® data platform version 2025.1, InterSystems is officially deprecating MultiValue and including it in the Deprecated and Discontinued Features list. While InterSystems will continue to support existing customers using MultiValue, it is not recommended for new applications.

What This Means for You:

• Continued Support: Support for MultiValue will still be available through the Worldwide Response Center (WRC) on a "best effort" basis, as is provided for releases older than our Minimum Supported Versions.

I am trying to upload using Upload manager functionality in Trakcare , but unable to do so without any guide or documentation.

If anyone can assist me through that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I have been trying to get to grips with the new dot Net Gateway used in IRIS as the import of the DLL to construct proxy classes is no longer supported in IRIS I have a third party DLL that when I try to instantiate throws an error complaining about the class not instantiated as it does not support parameterless constructor .I am using this new 

set gateway = $system.external.getDotNetGateway()
do gateway.addToPath(myPath_"\DotNetGatewaySamples.

Hello everyone

I have a question about the maximum number of active license users for CACHÉ.

When I run the command: Do $System.License.ShowCounts()

I get the following return:

1 Current active users
3 Maximum active users
0 CSP users currently active
1 Maximum active CSP users
0 CSP sessions currently in 'grace period'
1 Maximum CSP sessions in 'grace period'

I couldn't find it in the documentation, but I want to know if "3 Maximum active users" is the maximum number of users who have used the license since the period I installed the CACHÉ instance or since another period. Could you help me?

I have an old .NET 4.5 project, working with database InterSystems.Cache. The project is deployed on a Windows server. Data is retrieved using the InterSystems.Data.CacheClient.dll library.

But now I'm planning migration of the project to .NET 8 to container with linux centos.

How can I get data from InterSystems.Cache in this case?

As I understand it, InterSystems.Data.CacheClient.dll is only for the .NET framework.

The InterSystems.Data.IRISClient.dll library recommended for the more modern InterSystems.

Dear Fellow Cache Gurus:   I would like to know if there is either any built-in Cache Date/Time function or an easy way to include a timezone abbreviation such as EST, PST, MST, etc... within the Cache Date/Time formats.

I read through the Cache Documentation but could not find anything to achieve this.

So if I do the following command:   $ZDateTime($H,1,4,,,4,,,,,"InvalidDate"), then I get an output like this:   02/27/2025 11:10AM

But I am looking for the output to be formatted like this:    02/27/2025 11:10AM EST

Any feedback, suggestions, etc.

Hello,

So i want to use the INSERT OR UPDATE command so i can update a COUNTER for a given name:

INSERT OR UPDATE myTable
SET name='Omer',  counter = counter + 1;

as you can see with the above code - if the row is non-existent then we get an error because COUNTER is NULL!

Hello community members!
I am trying to connect to Caché database from Azure data factory using ODBC connection. The aim is to read data from Caché and write it in Azure blob storage using copy activity. The ODBC connection is successful and i can see the Caché  tables, but i'm facing an error while reading the table contents.
I'm getting the below error :

ERROR [HY000] [Cache ODBC][State : S1000][Native Code 400]
[SQLCODE: <-400>:<Es ist ein nicht behebbarer Fehler aufgetreten >]
[Cache Error: <<PROTECT>%0AmBk1^%sqlcq.SYA.cls691.

Hello!

This article is a small overview of a tool that helps to understand classes and their structure inside the InterSystems products: from IRIS to Caché, Ensemble, HealthShare.

In short, it visualizes a class or an entire package, shows the relations between classes and provides all the possible information to developers and team leads without making them go to Studio and examine the code there.

If you are learning InterSystems products, reviewing projects a lot or just interested in something new in InterSystems Technology solutions — you are more than welcome to read the overview of ObjectScript Class Explorer!

So the title says it all:
What causes a broker RESPONSE to have Transfer-Encoding:chunked?
sometimes the response seems to not have the "Transfer-Encoding:chunked" but sometimes it does, what may casue this behaviour?

Hello! 
So my question is quite simple, Do the different data models of Intersystems all support the ACID properties?
I assume that for the SQL data model implementation it does, But does it also work for global (i.e the hierarchical  data model)?
I searched the docs and the different articles, It seems for example that here its implied that the different data models of Intersystems  DO indeed support the ACID properties and allow for safe insertion, deletion etc... in concurrent operations to the server that is.

Would love to get a clarification, Thx!

Hi Community, 

I have a problem I am hoping someone can help with - I have created a front-end with HTML/CSS/JS in a CSP page in Iris Studio. I am trying to use objectscript on the back end to connect to a SQL Server Database (with valid credentials), and execute a stored procedure.

I have a fileList variable that is a stored as a comma separated string through a user input textBoxContainer.

Hi community,

I am having a hard time figuring out how to properly use %ZEN.Auxiliary.jsonProvider to serialize a %RegisteredObject to JSON. Would be anyone so kind to share some simple usage example?

Thanks

Hi all! Here I would like to share how we use vector search and GenAI with InterSystems technology. As an example, I'll describe BG-AppealAI project, which our company submitted to the InterSystems Vector Search, GenAI and ML Contest. BG-AppealAI application can write an appeal if you upload an insurance contract and the insurance company’s letter with a refusal to pay medical expenses. Of course, we are aware that at the moment AI has not reached such a level as to create ready-made legal documents.

Hi, this post was initially written for Caché. In June 2023, I finally updated it for IRIS. If you are revisiting the post since then, the only real change is substituting Caché for IRIS! I also updated the links for IRIS documentation and fixed a few typos and grammatical errors. Enjoy :)

In this post, I show strategies for backing up InterSystems IRIS using External Backup with examples of integrating with snapshot-based solutions. Most solutions I see today are deployed on Linux on VMware, so a lot of the post shows how solutions integrate VMware snapshot technology as examples.

Hi all,

I have a passthru REST setup using EnsLib.HTTP.GenericService and EnsLib.HTTP.GenericOperation. Works well.

I am adding some logic to the Operation and for some scenarios I want to return an HTTP 40x response status code.

I create an httpResponse object within the Business Operation, but I can't figure out how to set the http response status code that is returned to my Posstman client that initiated the request. I set StatusCode=400, and StatusLine and ReasonPhrase properties - but when the ultimate requestor (Postman) receives the response back it is a 200 status code.

Hey everyone, 
Might be a stupid question, but i was trying to set the ContentLength of the %response object in my website.
In different places (like the onPreHttp / onPostHttp etc) but none seems to work.
The reason behind it is to send a more accurate representation of the actual data I send, instead of having the overhead of the broker that adds more characters , I want the exact length of the response accounting only for the data that I actually returned.

Hey everyone.

As I have been working with IRIS (nee Caché) for some time now, I decided to take a look at how I manage things like functions and scripts that may not belong to a single namespace or environment, but should still have a home.

I have taken to creating a github repo where I can keep track of a single .cls of "general functions" that I can then drop into an environment when required.

Hello,

It's possible to set a value to a "variable" in SQL Cache?

Like in SQl Server or Oracle?
Thanks

I have a scenario where I send a GET request to a broker and receive a FHIR response. When I attempted to use the built-in InterSystems functions to convert this FHIR response into SDA, the transformation failed—likely because it is not a standard FHIR request.

How should I handle this situation? Is there a recommended approach to processing FHIR responses in this context?

Additionally, if I manage to convert the FHIR response into a request format, I noticed that the broker sends a Task resource.
