Question Gary Marston · Apr 20, 2018

Hi,

   I have a ZEN application that displays PDF files in an 'iframe', embedded on a ZEN popup dialog. embedded in a ZEN page running on IE 11 with its document mode set to 5, which is enough to make most reasonable people give up and start selling hot dogs in the park.

  I can display the PDF all day long without issue but when the "window.print()' command is issued all I get for the PDF is an empty area on the printed page when a single page of the PDF should be displayed. The PDF arrives as a normal PDF file and is NOT base64 encoded. I have had limited success using the PDF.

Hi Guys,

We experiencing a strange problem with one of the clients on Cache 2008, for time to time they can't run any of their Crystal reports and each time we had re-compile the classes used in the affected report to get it running, then it happens again for the same reports.

We are going to start using Git within Cache.

One question came up - if the branch that you checked out does not have the class or mac file, what is the correct thing to do?

Should we delete from Cache or should we just keep it?

I'm leaning more towards deleting it because Cache should reflect what is in your work folder in git. But other team members are saying to keep it.

Does developing a RESTful API in Caché remove the requirement to use the InterSystems.Data.CacheClient.dll and generate proxy classes using the Caché Object Binding Wizard for .NET web development? If anyone has links to sample applications using .NET with Caché and REST Services, I would be grateful if you could share them.

How to convert SQL persistent classes to JSON output - I have tried 1 option but appears to be very lengthy process.

I have many other SQL storage's defined and have to expose them as well to JSON. Can anyone please suggest a better approach.

My column names usually match with my Json properties.

My User.TestClass is the class with GetJsonList() as my method to return /output JSON formatted data.

The Code tried and SQL storage structure are as follows -

Class User.TestClass Extends %RegisteredObject
{
ClassMethod GetJsonList() As %Status
{
Set SQL="SELECT ID, Column1, Column2, DataID FROM SQLUser.

A client wants information extracted from their MUMPS database and transferred to a cache database, where do I begin and what are some best practices I should keep in mind? (I am fairly new to MUMPS and have been put on this project)

Question Kevin Furze · Apr 13, 2018

I use macros everyday, but its the first time I want to create a macro like this

I want to create a new macro whereby I can pass a variable amount of parameters

the macro (much simplified version) would be 

#define myMacro(%params)         $listBuild(any Number Of %params I pass in)

so I want to be able to call $$$myMacro(user,ID,vehicle)         ie 3 parameters would generate

$lb(user,ID,vehicle)

but equally I might want to call that same macro $$$myMacro(companyID)          ie 1 paramter and would generate

$lb(companyID)

so the question is, 

how can I create the macro without knowing how many parameters I'm passing in up front.

Question Mike Minor · Apr 6, 2018

I am tasked with using CACHE to insert data retrieved from a CACHE data base and insert it into an sql database. The columns in the sql table that I am trying to insert data into have names that contain underscores such as "ACCESSION_DATE" I found a utility in CACHE to connect to the sql data base and perform inserts. I have the data I need to insert. I need to pass the  data into the sql utility referencing the column names.

I tried using indirection to set the data into underscored variables, but that isn't allowed  in cache object script.

Anyone have suggestions as to how to do that?

Hello, Community!

Here's an interesting task I found on the Internet.

Problem description

Write a method that would draw a box of a specified size.

The goal is to write the shortest method.

Here's a method signature (it can't be modified):

ClassMethod main(s As %Integer = 10)

And call sample:

>do ##class(ITPlanet.Task4).main(5)
#####
## ##
# # #
## ##
#####

>do ##class(ITPlanet.Task4).main(10)
##########

Question Scott Roth · Apr 6, 2018

Is there a way to make the system users like _SYSTEM and ensadm bypass the Delegated sign-on and not cause it to fill up the Audit trail with "Programmer mode login failure"?? I figured I still had to leave password login enabled for the background users to run. How would I script if username = "_SYSTEM" then don't do the Delegated sign on?

Here is my ZAUTHENTICATE

s $zt="Error"
  s Status = 0
  i Password="" {
    s Status= $SYSTEM.

Question Scott Roth · Apr 6, 2018

We have scripted a process where we can run EnableConfigItem from the cron in AIX so we can run multiple scripts at a time vs the scheduler in Ensemble that is single threaded. For the most part this works fine, until that service/operation has an error on it then it seems that everything else that is called after that instance halts.

Is there something that is stopping EnsConfigItem() from running once something has error'd?

Can something be forced like it does if we try to enable/disable in the gui and it times out?

this is the single command line we are calling

zn "$1"
w ##class(Ens.Director).

Article Eduard Lebedyuk · Apr 6, 2018 5m read

In this series of articles, I'd like to present and discuss several possible approaches toward software development with InterSystems technologies and GitLab. I will cover such topics as:

  • Git 101
  • Git flow (development process)
  • GitLab installation
  • GitLab Workflow
  • Continuous Delivery
  • GitLab installation and configuration
  • GitLab CI/CD
  • Why containers?
  • Containers infrastructure
  • GitLab CI/CD using containers

In the first article, we covered Git basics, why a high-level understanding of Git concepts is important for modern software development, and how Git can be used to develop software.

In the second article, we covered GitLab Workflow - a complete software life cycle process and Continuous Delivery.

In the third article, we covered GitLab installation and configuration and connecting your environments to GitLab

In the fourth article, we wrote a CD configuration.

In the fifth article, we talked about containers and how (and why) they can be used.

In this article let's discuss main components you'll need to run a continuous delivery pipeline with containers and how they all work together.

Question John Jacobs · Mar 26, 2018

I'm converting a DTM system to Caché and trying to use the Caché Terminal as the UI. I've come across and removed some DTM formatting for printed text that does not do anything in Caché (actually, it caused errors). The printed output to the default Windows printer ("|PRN|") has been working and the printed documents in text-only format look fine. I am testing on a low-end HP laser printer and a Brother laser. The client has done a print test to his own older HP laser from his Caché  instance and the text renders fine.

Question Thomas Noitz · Apr 3, 2018

Hi guys,

is there an easy way to compare two objects in os?

Example:

I have a registered order-object at runtime. Now I want to call a specific export-service just in the case that sth in this order has changed since the last export. So I have to compare the persisted order-object (last export) with the current order-object.

Ist there an easy way to compare these two objects or do I have to check each object-value separately?

Thanks for your help!

Regards, Thomas

Problems encountered with Java Gateway

I am writing a framework for use on the Java Gateway. The role of the framework is:

1. Import the framework jar file into ensemble studio (test completed);
2. In the framework jar, handle the related functions of the remaining jar files (the rest of the jar files are written by colleagues).

The general idea is as follows:

Send: Ensemble Java Gateway -> Framework Jar -> Plugin Jar (colleagues write, processing data).
Returns: Plugin Jar (processed return data) ->Framework Jar->Ensemble Java Gateway.
