#Debugging

In the WRC, we frequently see customers contact us because their Web Gateway is unable to serve web pages. This article will explain a frequent reason why these errors can occur, and explain some tools which can be used to debug the problem. This explanation is focused on the Web Gateway serving InterSystems IRIS instances, but the same explanation should apply to the CSP Gateway serving Caché instances as well.

We are using a DTL transformation to take HL7 and transform into custom XML. But the nodes in the resulting XML are appearing out of sequence - and therefore failing validation against the schema.

The XSD schema for the XML looks fine when imported into Ensemble: root node in the XSD looks like this:

And shows in Ensemble like this:

I need to see the full SMTP trace when a %Net.SMTP attempts to send an email to troubleshoot an issue. As far as I know, the only way to get that is to uncomment line 192 in the %Net.SMTP class.

 //:#define SMTPTRACE

I've done this in the past by giving myself the %DB_IRISSYS role, so I tried that. That database is also not mounted as read-only.

Hello. On some hosts, IRIS in containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/iris-community:2024.1 falls with a core dump.

auser:~$ docker run --rm -it --entrypoint=""  containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/iris-community:2024.1 bash

Many programming languages use the try-and-catch construct to handle runtime errors gracefully. If the code within the try block encounters an error, it will throw an exception to the catch block, where the error handling occurs.

Is there a general way to set a variable XYZ equal to the text of the code line being executed now? Debugger or production. For example, for a code below if code is currently assigning a to 1, XYZ would be equal "S a=1". The same question about a variable containing current routine name.

S a=1

If anyone has experience debugging Embedded Python or has insight into why an ObjectScript method when called from a Python method would not work but would work when called directly via ObjectScript or in a Python shell, your help would be appreciated!

We have an ObjectScript ClassMethod called GetTemplateString() which takes in a templateName of String type and uses the template name to get the template object, access the Code, and read the code into a templateString. The string version of the Code is returned.

When there's a performance issue, whether for all users on the system or a single process, the shortest path to understanding the root cause is usually to understand what the processes in question are spending their time doing. Are they mostly using CPU to dutifully march through their algorithm (for better or worse); or are they mostly reading database blocks from disk; or mostly waiting for something else, like LOCKs, ECP or database block collisions?

Hello,

First of all thanks for your time reading this question, and thank you for your help.

🎯 We would need to create an Ensemble HealthShare Operation to read files from a FTP / SFTP server.

We have coded:

Hi

How do I view the .int code of a compiled class in VS Code?

I am trying to use gj::Locate and the setup works, the explanation is all fine but when i paste an error from the Error Logs into the gj::locate it firstly tells me that it can't find the .cls and when I paste in the .int reference in the text box where you can specify the class, method, line+offset it replies that it can't find the item.

This is something to do with the objectscript extension rather than gj::locate

Hello All,

Visual studio code doesn't allow debugging of code or running of code as far I can see. Since I am new, could someone guide me on this.

Thanks

I'm facing an issue while converting an ORU_R01 HL7 message to XML, specifically with the <pidgrpgrp> kind elements. When I use the getvalueat() method before conversion, the XML includes the <pidgrpgrp> and other <grp> elements, but when I don't use the getvalueat() method, the XML is generated without these <grp>elements.

I recently realized it's been far too long since I talked about the latest features in the InterSystems ObjectScript Extension for Visual Studio Code.

I'm pleased to announce version 2.12.1 of the ObjectScript extension, containing a number of enhancements that make a developer's life easier. Some highlights are described below, including the #1 requested feature from Global Summit -- XML import!

Does the GetValueAt method of an EnsLib.HL7.message object change the contents of the HL7 message?

We want to do two things, given an incoming HL7 message, in our production:
