#Globals

Hi,

We have a global with 65 million entries. All we are doing is just iterating through each entry to find out the total no of entries. It is currently taking 110 minutes. Is this something normal? What can we do to speed up this process? Below is the program for just iterating each entry in the global.

s sub=" ,count=0
f{              
     s sub=$o(^YYY(sub)) q:sub=""
     s count= count +1
     }
     w!, "Total Count:"_ count
 

Hi developers!

Could you please advice what is the easiest way to download globals from a particular server?

I have the access to it, I know which globals I need to download/copy (5-7 globals per name). This is to perform then analysis in IRIS BI.

Hi IRIS experts!

I have a parameter in a class that stores a global name:

Parameter GlobalName = "^AGlobal";

then I'm trying to call it as:

set gn=$name(..#GlobalName)

to use it later as:

set @gn@("index")="value"

But! I'm having syntax at set gn=$name(..#GlobalName)

What am I doing wrong?

I know this problem something to do with sort and collation and string comparison vs numeric only strings, but I can't fathom out the details of it. 

I have the following global, where all values are suffixed with a space, I believe the intention is to prevent empty strings and force string comparisons rather than numeric. Which is fine when searching for an exact match, so searching for "ABC" internally looks for "ABC ", or "800999" looks for "800999 ". However one function tries to search for strings containing, (specifically beginning with), a partial code.

I need to develop a tool to help to get what data is being consumed by a certain process, in order to get all data used to build an automated test scenario.

For example, some user process will pull data from ^GLOBAL(1)="dataString", ^GLOBAL(2)="dataString2", ^GLOBAL1(1)="data1String", ^GLOBAL2(4)="data2String4". Amidst all other data on these Globals, I will ignore everything that was not used in the user process, and get the specific keys used on it.

I haver read $Query and $Order but still not getting the code that i am looking to work correctly. 

I have a global like 

^TestGlobal("Not Configured","Value 1")=""

^TestGlobal("Not Configured","Value 2")=""

Trying to create a new SQL Storage map on existing cache Global in the following format - ^MYGLO("R",rec)=data where the 'data' is built using $zel. e.g. $zel(data,1)="p1", $zel(data,2)="p2" etc... and the ^MYGLO("R",123)=data.

I'm having 2 issues.

Hello everyone,

My team lead mentioned that users can sometimes create globals directly without associating them with tables or classes. In this case, these globals would not be accessible via SQL.

Is this correct? Can a global exist independently in this way, and if so, is there a specific approach to access or manage them without SQL?

Hello All,

I have a class method on the DocRepo server that needs to query the data value of a global variable on the Edge server. 

I have looked at the documentation for 'Global Structure,' but I didn't find anything that helped.

Global Structure | Using Globals | InterSystems IRIS Data Platform 2022.1
 

I am able to access this global easily from the Edge server using the $Get function, but I need to access it from the DocRepo server.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Craig

I have the class ConfigUtils.ConfigSettingsTable, which is a persistent object.  I know I need to map packages from the original namespace. In this case, I have mapped ConfigUtils.ConfigSettingsTable from the originating namespace (IRISTST database) across all other namespaces.

With this, I am able to see the table in SQL Explorer in each namespace, but the same data is not shared across environments. For example, in the namespace, I can see the table, but I don't see the same information that I see in the table in the original IRISTST namespace.

Hi Devs!

Is there a way to get a Global that contains pesistence data for a class?

In early versions of IRIS it was classname_"D", like ^Sample.PersonD. Now, at least in IRIS 2022.1  it is something random.

We are trying to come up with huge DataStore which needs to store HIPAA transactions and Data getting partitioned with idkey - YYYYMM.  Current Live data get inserted into current Month DB -  HIPAA_202306. 10 years (Hipaa retention policy) old data is going to be sitting in to 120 DBs ( 201606_HIPAA, 201607... 202305) for historical audit legal compliance purposes.

Currently if we create Namespace we get 2 databases - CODEDB for routes/classes & DATADB for journals data.  

In our requirement, Global mapping should point to 120 DataDbs.

I am inspecting our DB globals in order to reduce sizes of the worst offenders if possible. When I come to a large global, I am interested which of its nodes are the largest. Hence code below with unexpected different results. Any explanations why are results different?

testpartialGlobalsSize
 d partialGlobalsSize(dirName,globalName)
partialGlobalsSize(dir,global)
S sub="",path="C:\Cachesys\mgr\"_dir_"\",searchGlobal="^"_global
S x=##Class(%GlobalEdit).GetGlobalSize(path, global,.Alloc,.Size)
W global,",",Size,! ; Got  725 here
S x=##Class(%GlobalEdit).GetGlobalSizeBySubscript(path,global,global,.

During my last migration to IRIS I met this Compatibility parameter

• NullSubscripts    true

0 - Throw error when referencing a null subscript.
1 - Null subscript references do not throw an error.

The consequences are shocking. This was allowed:

USER>zw^rcc

But SMP had no idea what is going on. 

And after switching off that flag this was still partialy visible, but read-only

USER>

I just don't understand.

I have noticed that the way the nodes are ordered is different between 2 different environments.

If I create the following global :

set^TEMP"Z"

Then I dump it with zwrite, I get this (which is expected):

However, on another machine, it gives me this :

The same goes for the following command (which return 0 or 1, depending environment) : 

Both are running Windows 10, but one is running IRIS 2021.1, the other CACHE 2017.2.2.

I don't think that's the reason, maybe there's something else (a configuration in Portal). Has anyone encountered a similar problem and knows what is wrong?

I am using $Query to loop through a global. 

When I use $GET to get the data all we get back is the global name. 

How do you get the value of the global after you have looped. 

Below is my example in terminal. 

Thank you in advance 

Set node = $Query(^FromExtraMed("")) 

w node
^FromExtraMed("A02",9220)

If i try w $GET(node) it returns 

^FromExtraMed("A02",9220)

If i had this hardcoded it would have got the value

w $GET(^FromExtraMed("A02",9220))
0,66340,2120

I have already read the documentation and it is not clear. Can someone advise? 

I have created a global say ^myglobal and entered some data. I am storing the name of global in databases and fetching the name based on some criteria. I am getting "^myglobal" in return from databases but i am not able to fetch the data I stored in the global. 

I tried set var = result.global which gives me "^myglobal" in var. Doing WRITE var will return "^myglobal" and not the data i stored in this global.

I have been trying to track down an issue we are seeing in our TEST environment with Memory usage.

We have Several BP's for years now that take a HL7 message, parse it apart, and make calls to a Custom EnsLib.SQL.OutboundAdapter to have it execute Insert/Select/Update/Delete stored procedures against a MS SQL Database via JDBC connection. We are using Microsoft's JDBC 12.2 driver to do this.

What we are seeing is that IRIS.WorkQueue globals are being defined for these calls but then the IRIS.WorkQueue is not being cleaned up and taking up large amounts of Memory.

As the title suggests, I would like to programmatically export each individual data lookup table as XML, either as a stream object or to a file. How would I go about doing this?

I have a %GlobalBinaryStream object that I'm trying to save as a local file after being received through a SOAP Web Service.

To do this, I created a %Stream.FileBinary object and wanted to set where the stream copied to this object would be saved by using either the DefaultStreamDir() ClassMethod or the NewFileName() ClassMethod. However, the documentation isn't very helpful on how to use these ClassMethods.

Right now, I have the below code:

set localStream = ##class(%Stream.FileBinary).%New()
set st = localStream.CopyFromAndSave(file) /// file is the %GlobalBinaryStreamObject
$$$QuitOnError(st)
set localStream = localStream.NewFileName(ext=<extension>,directory="path\to\folder\")

Hi everyone,
I have this global with 2 informations in it: Reference (ex: 1329) and Code (ex: JMMK-G1D6).

^DataTest    =     3
^DataTest(1)    =     $lb("","1329","JMMK-G1D6")
^DataTest(2)    =     $lb("","1516","AMEV-GVPF")
^DataTest(3)    =     $lb("","2333","4QC6-4HW3")

With ObjectScript, i want to test if Reference 1516 exists in the global. 
In the InterSystems portal, i can do it with SQL (SELECT count(*) FROM DataTest where Reference = '1516'), but can we do the same in ObjectScript without SQL and manipulating the global directly ?

Thanks for help.

Hello Community,

I have a queue that I need to traverse and perform operations on. To distribute the workload across multiple processes, I used a Work Queue Manager do process and I'm not expecting any status from it So, I skipped Sync / WaitForComplete in my implementation

Hi everyone,

We have successfully configured the Patient Index and are now looking to bring it to upper environments. Our plan is to export the Linkage Definition and import it into higher environments to avoid any manual work. However, I am having trouble finding an export option in the Linkage Definition Designer and locating the globals that hold this setup.

I would greatly appreciate any tips or guidance on how to export/import the Patient Index configuration between environments.

Thank you in advance!

Hi folks!

I'm working with a global via Embedded Python as a class method. I init the handler for a global via:

gl=iris.gref("^Global"

What is the way to check the value at index ^Global("x","y")? E.g.:

In ObjectScript I'd do the following:

set^Global

How do I do the same in Embedded Python?

I checked the documentation, but haven't found an answer.

I'm working for an organisation that is running a very old version of InterSystems Cache (5.016) which runs on AIX . The last two times we have re-booted Cache, we have encountered rollbacks. I've been asked two questions. During the rollback it was "How long is it going to take?" and after the system returned, it was "So what caused it?". My answer to both was "I don't know".

As the title suggests, I would like to programmatically export each HL7 schema category as XML, either as a stream object or to a file. How would I go about doing this?

Hello community,

is there anything special to consider when running a foundation production regarding purge jobs (Ens.Util.Tasks.Purge)? I am thinking specifically of the QuickStreams, which according to my information are stored in a temporary database until the system is restarted. Since a system reboot is much less frequent then the purges, I wonder what happens to the QuickStreams whose messages and headers have already been purged. Is there a way to view Quickstreams (not content, but rather metadata) e.g. via the Management Portal?

Thanks for your comments and hints,

best regards, Martin

How do I retrieve the name of the first GLOBAL from within the GLOBAL directory?
Should I use some syntax with $Order or $Query or is there another way?
