I am having trouble sending URL encoded payload to eFax in FormData. Does anyone have experience working with the eFax? Their support is not the greatest.

This is what I am trying to send

s rObj.ContentType="application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

d rObj.InsertFormData("id", "123456789")

d rObj.InsertFormData("xml", $zcvt(filestring,"O","URL"))

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. 

Hello!There is a class query “MemberStatusList” in the SYS.Mirror class that I would like to call from a .NET client application. I know that means that there is also a generated class method called MemberStatusListFunc. What is the best way if any exist to call them from a .NET application?Just see if anything responded I tried using something like…IRIS iris = IRIS.CreateIRIS(conn);var returnValue = iris.ClassMethodString("%SYSTEM.Mirror", "MemberStatusList", "NAMEOFTHEMIRROR")---That executes the method and returns the reference as a string to a %SQL.ClassQueryResultSet.Obviously I would

Hi,

I'm after feedback and comments on the sort of tools and approaches the wider InterSystems community uses for QA Testing applications written in Cache/Ensemble or IRIS.   I am aware of the %UnitTest package, and understand how that works... but:

- Do you use an alternative or framework built around this native Unit Testing tool ?

- What is your experience with %UnitTest if you use it ?

- Is there a tool you would recommend for your UI (I know this is not specifically an InterSystems' related question)

- What process do you use to routinely run tests on your application ? 

I was hoping for some input on the best way to deploy code to site with the following criteria:

 - No source code, only compiled code to be deployed.
 - Classes and Routines are part of the application.
 - Data and code reside in the same database.
 - Deployments might be partial updates  (i.e. cannot just send a complete CACHE.DAT).

At present the idea is just to export the .obj, any suggestions?

I am integrating with Front End using ODBC to the Caché tables.

I have a property of type %Library.Time in one of the Caché classes FrontEnd which is in C#, it is not possible in C# to represent only a Time type, it always has a date as well (DateTime type, no Time only in C#), but that is fine, should not be a problem, so for Time the date simply defaults to 1900/01/01. 

Now when this is sent to Caché it does not like it and I would like to understand why because this is causing us not to be able to use a Caché property of type TIME ever.

This is the error from Caché

Today, I was reading some source code, and encountered the following method signature:

Method SendRequestSync(pRequest As %Library.Persistent, ByRef pResponse As %Library.Persistent)

And I immediately thought, why is there a ByRef?

With the recent release of macOS 10.15, Apple has tightened its control mechanism , called Gatekeeper, so that it now requires executables to be notarized.  InterSystems products are not currently supported for use on macOS 10.15 and the executables have not been notarized.  (As a reminder, InterSystems products are supported on macOS as a development platform only.)

Hi,

Hello,

I  am reading the following code in ObjectScript:

GitHub repository
 

And there is a sentence which I am facing difficulties to understand:

    kill ^OPNLib.Game.CWLF(..World)

I know that kill removes variables, OPNLib.Game are the package and subpackage, and ..World is a property. However what does CWLF mean?

You could think that it is the class' name, but it is:

Class OPNLib.Game.ConwayLifeGame Extends %Persistent

The class name is ConwayLifeGame

Is CWLF an alias for the class name?

If yes where is it defined?

Because if we see all the definitions in the current class, we do not found CWLF:

I have the following message when I try to import a WSDL to generate a SOAP service:

I have found in the documentation:

What means?

How could fix it?

Hi,

Is anyone out there using Cache to capture electronic signatures? The device would have to be called from a telnet session.

Thanks in advance,

Hi!

We are using Rest Service with inheritance of  %CSP.Rest, and we are having the following problem: when we receive 100 request from single IP adress - this creates 100 CSP sessions and takes 100 user licence for each request for few seconds. What can we do do about this? We've  set this parameter:

Parameter UseSession As Integer = 1;

Thank you in advance!

Hi, we are a veterinary lab and we use both the LAB and FIN systems of Antrim. Now we are looking to expose the data in a SQL/Object compatible way so we were wondering if same / similar things had been done by other community members already? If so, could you please share your approach / experience / gotchas with us and we are all ears. I can be reached at yang.jiao@antechmail.com . Thank you!

Hi All

I this article I detail some strategic issues that a new development UI will need to address - these are the ones that I can think of now - others may come to light during this journey.

See the webinar by Eduard Lebedyuk here from the last Global Summit describing  modern web development and Caché

And, as always, if I have missed something please comment....

I used the Activate wizard to create a package for Excel (Activate.Excel). There is a class in there that seems to be what we need to open a file:

Activate.Excel.Workbooks.

There is a method that  has an Open() command. I tried  using it but getting an invalid pointer error.

The  parameters are as follows:

Every developer has made the mistake of accidentally leaving temporary debug code in place when they meant to remove it after debugging is complete.  The great thing about writing in ObjectScript is that there is a way to make temporary code be truly temporary and automatically self-destruct!   This can also be done in such a way that the code has no change of making it into your source control stream, which can be helpful as well.

At LifeLabs, we are focused on our vision of building a healthier Canada!  We are the largest community diagnostics laboratory in Canada with over 350 collection centers, 21 laboratories and service over 19 million patients each year. As the Software developer, you will be concerned with all facets of the software development process.  You will be responsible for the design of application modules, maintain and deploy software applications to meet user and business needs.

Is there a way to estimate compaction / truncation sizes? For a DB when trying to reclaim disk space.

Basically, is there some utility or CLI command that would allow us to estimate if it is worth the effort of compacting a large database or not.
 

Thanks

Hello again and welcome to the next tutorial on this series: Part 5 - Errors. Here we are going to learn how Frontier handles unexpected errors and how we can force them.

1. Core concepts

• Getting started
• Creating a simple request
• Query parameters
• Aliasing query parameters
• Changing output format
• Rest query parameters
• Inferring object instances
• Using literal notation
• Seamlessly mixing instances with literals
• Returning streams

2. Handling payloads

• ​​How it works
• Making it useful
• Unmarshalling payloads into instances
• Using the unmarshaller to EDIT an existing object

3. Using the SQL API

I know &SQL returns only one result but is 

&SQL(SELECT ID FROM Cinema.Film ORDER BY ID DESC)

and

&SQL(SELECT TOP 1 ID FROM Cinema.Film ORDER BY ID DESC)

the same in terms of processing required?

%ToJson doesn't work in 2015 release of cache, How to transform a object to json in this release ? 

Hello,

lets have two  abstract %Persistent classes A,B with NoExtent keyword (storing data in separate globals for each subclass).

Class A Extends %Persistent [Abstract, NoExtent]

{

}

Class B Extends %Persistent [Abstract, NoExtent]

{

     Property Aref As A;

}

Let B class reference the A class. Since the A class has no extent the reference wont work in subclasses. It wont be even usable in SQL.  Is it possible to solve this problem? Whats the recommended way to deal with references/relationships using NoExtent?

HI,

I am a newbie so excuse my basic questions.

This week I am going to look at CPU, one of the primary hardware food groups :) A customer asked me to advise on the following scenario; Their production servers are approaching end of life and its time for a hardware refresh. They are also thinking of consolidating servers by virtualising and want to right-size capacity either bare-metal or virtualized. Today we will look at CPU, in later posts I will explain the approach for right-sizing other key food groups - memory and IO.

So the questions are:
