Question Pietro Di Leo · Jul 4, 2025

Hello everybody, 

I would like to export project contents using Visual Studio Code, as well as I do with InterSystems Studio.

However, while attempting the export through the InterSystems extension I get the following error:

- There are no folders in the current workspace that code can be exported to.

These are the step to reproduce my error:

  1. Create and save a new VSCode workspace
  2. Open a local directory 
  3. Go to the InterSystems extension
  4. Open "Projects" panel and right-click on the project you want to export
  5. Click on "Export Project Contents"

Anyone can help me solving this issue?

Hello everyone! This is my first post into the developer community and one that I hope is fairly simple to answer. In our environment we currently have 3 different Test environments for testing before migrating code to our Prod environment. Currently we are working on establishing a source control method using Git in house which has been a bit of a struggle. We have also had developers that had used different test and migration methods in the past which has caused some issues with keeping the different test environment in sync.

Loading file C:\GlobalPatch.xml as xml
Imported global: ^GlobalPatch
Load finished successfully.
 
ACB>Set sc = ##class(%Studio.Project).InstallFromGbl("^GlobalPatch","fv")
ERROR #7602: Exported on version '2012.5' but this machine on version '2018.1.4' so unable to import

Question Jude Mukkadayil · Jul 14, 2023

Hi,

     I am trying to load all the data tables from one iris server to a client server but some of the tables data failing to load all the time. But I can load around 100 tables successfully  but 8 to 10 tables are failing all the time. I made an IRIS odbc connection using odbc driver to load the data from tables.

Also I can see read server loop error message on the iris server side as the same time the table loading fails.

 

Please find the screen shot attached which shows the error on client server.

 

 

Can anyone provide me an advise how to fix the issue.

 

 

Thanks

Jude

hi,I meet a problem,i want to move huge data from ensemble to oracle.it`s about 3years business data.i have tried some case!

1. EnsLib.SQL.OutboundAdapter

i parse the data one by one,and translate it into inser or update sql statement then write to Oracle,it·s most slowly,and take more disk space。

2.save the data to a new table,and then use dbeaver transport data to oracle。

3.user linktable. save object as insert,but,i can·t user %openid method.

hope to find a high-efficiency way!

Question Jonathan Wald · May 25, 2022

I am creating "models" that contain rows in several class tables called Model, Path, Node.

So, model 19 includes 1 row in the Model table, 11 rows in the Path table, and 10 rows in the Node table. 

I'd like to write some utilities to "move" model 19 from one instance to another.

I found some old (maybe deprecated?) functionality, the %SYNC.Transporter, which seems to work.  I can write a SQL query to select the rows of interest, and export those record to a ,gof file.  I can create 3 of them (one file per class), and then on the target instance, I can import from the .

Hey there,

I'm writing an import Routine to read files into a global. The code is working fine except for the 'Delete' command. The files are being imported, copied but not deleted. Maybe someone has an Idea what ist happening.

I get the low level return value of -32 but i couldn't find anywhere to show me what that actually means. And my Caché version doesn't support the $ZU command.

Hello,

I am working on the new USCDI Requirement to store LOINC Codes/Descriptions for various types of Clinical Notes in the SDA.

According to all of the documentation I had been able to find, in order to store a coded value for Document Type, I have to use Custom Pairs:

#; Code System
        do ..write(cr_"<CustomPairs")
        do ..write(cr_"<NVPair>")
        do ..write(cr_"<Name>DocumentNameCodingStandard</Name>")
        do ..write(cr_"<Value>LN</Value>")
        do ..write(cr_"</NVPair>")
        #; Code
        do ..write(cr_"<NVPair>")

Question Roderick Julius · Mar 16, 2022

Hello,

Our team is looking for a way to export all of our Cache SQL tables into Microsoft SQL Server.  I have only found a method to export one table at a time into an ASCII file.  We have over 170 tables so this would be very tedious and time consuming.  Is there a way to directly export from Cache to SQL Server.  Alternatively is it possible to export the entire database in a single shot or even multiple tables to text files?

Thanks!

Question Oliver Wilms · Jan 8, 2022

I have csv date file with date values like this "4/10/2021" for April 10, 2021. I defined a table with this property: Property TranDate As %Library.Date.

I capture error

[SQLCODE: <-104>:<Field validation failed in INSERT, or value failed to convert in DisplayToLogical or OdbcToLogical>] [Location: <ServerLoop>] [%msg: <Field 'dc_data_finance.transact.TranDate' (value '4/10/2021') failed validation Field ...

I do not really want to change TranDate to %String. How can I import "4/10/2021" into %Date property?

Question Scott Roth · Jan 6, 2022

We are migrating from AIX to Linux and part of our testing is trying to figure the best method to migrate the code. I am trying to export an entire Production, however I keep running into an error...

Error generating export list for production osuwmc.TestClin and all items may not be listed.
ERROR #5002: Cache error: <CLASS DOES NOT EXIST>zgetRecordandComplexMapClasses+34^Ens.Config.Production.1 *(No name)

I went through any Complex Record Maps, and recompiled them but I am still getting the same error

Does anyone know how I can track down this error and the culprit?

Thanks

Question Justin Richter · Jan 3, 2022

So I've been reviewing a lot of questions posted in the InterSystems community regarding NULL properties in JSON. I've also been reviewing the JSON documentation. None of these things have been able to help me so far.

1. We don't seem to have the %JSON.Adaptor class available for us to use in our system.

2. I'm not really confident enough to create JSON Type classes or backporting code, etc.

 

I created a dummy class and I need my JSON to look like this:
{
    "notanumber":"28001",
    "aboolean":true,
    "anumber":12345,
    "adecimal":1.

Question James Hipp · Sep 14, 2021

https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/documatic/%25CSP.Documatic…

 

method Export(savertn As %Boolean = 0) [ Language = objectscript ]

 

I am looking to export table to a text file in a programmatic way. I am not familiar with this class and how to invoke a "savertn" as input here.

 

Essentially I would like to Export Table (SELECT * FROM Table) and save it as a text file locally on Linux server. Is there any examples out there of that? Perhaps I need to save the query output to a global and then pass that input to the export?

Question James Casazza · Aug 23, 2021

After linking in Oracle Table with Field Column's Data Types of NUMBER, my updates into these table fields are resulting in data that is being rounded to 2 decimal places. I insert a record with 1234.1234 and 1234.12 is stored.

It appears Cache xDBC might be manipulating my values prior to sending to Oracle. Is there a setting or system parameter that is controlling this? If so, is there a way to relax this from occurring so the values I send are being stored in Oracle with the same values?

Question Stella Ticker · May 26, 2021

I am trying to populate a table using the sql Data Import Wizard. The input file is a tab delimited text file. But the import keeps failing with a 104 error showing validation for the columns which use %Library.TimeStamp and %Boolean datatypes is failing. Yet when I insert values into the table through a SQL insert command, the values get saved correctly in the table.

For the TimeStamp format in the wizard form, I am choosing YYYY-MM-DD-HH:MI:SS because  there was no option for this format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.

Question xiong shizheng · May 24, 2021

您好,我想问一下为什么我无法通过Iris中的内置转换模板将从HAPI-FHIR服务器下载的患者资源转换为SDA格式。它总是表明缺少某个默认值,或者这就是我们需要更改格式吗?我想问一下我们如何快速创建自己的映射,以及如何通过json将所需的数据转换为sda并将其存储在iris中,然后我们可以通过齐柏林飞艇进行调用,非常感谢您解决我的问题问题

 

Transaltion for the question:

Hello, I would like to ask why I am unable to convert patient resources downloaded from the HAPI-FHIR server to SDA format via the built-in conversion template in IRIS. It always indicates that some default value is missing, or is this the format we need to change?
