#Globals

We are attempting to "Repoint" old class data to new class data to save disk space and data redundancy across multiple tables. This works to a point.  In essence the two classes are sharing the same data / Index / stream globals.  But if an ID in the Old_Class is opened, a property is modified, and saved the property that is in the New_Class (but not in the Old_Class) is NULLed / blanked.

Simplified explanation of data and what’s occurring.

Hello Community,

When I run the following code with x undefined in terminal, it throws a syntax error and returns control to the program stack. After issuing a GO command, execution continues, and setting the global variable ^zz1.

code 1:

test.mac
if $Data(@x@(a,b,c)) {
    set ^zz1=1212
}
write !,1212,!
//
//or
if $Data(@x@(a,b,c)) set ^zz1=1212
write !,1212,!

 if I assign the result of $D(@x@(a,b,c)) to a local variable like d using set d=$D(@x@(a,b,c)), and then use if d { ... }, the code fails(global is not set) working as expected.

Code 2

Hello Community,

The subroutine ^routine is not executed while the queue is being processed in WorkMgr. However, it works when defined as a function. Is it mandatory to define subroutine^routine as a function for it to execute properly?

testwqm.mac
 set wqm = ##class(%SYSTEM.WorkMgr).%New()
 set sc=wqm.Queue("subr1^testwqm")  ; not executing the subr1 
 set sc=wqm.Queue("subr2^testwqm") ; executing the subr2 properly
 set sc=wqm.

Hello Community,

Is it possible to track or determine where the global variable was set (routine or class) in a form of like label+offset^routine?

Regards,

Ashok

Hi all,

I have a situation where I am writing to global from different processes - let's call it an Event Queue.
There is then a different process that uses $order to read through the data - the PubSub processing BP.

Sometimes the writing of this global will form part of a transaction that also insert data into other tables, using tstart and tcommit.
If there is some issue, it will roll back, and the entry written to the global will also roll back.

Hello Community,

The process private global doesn't impact the $storage. But, Why the value has decreases at first time of initialization. 

Just want to ensure about it.

Dear Community,

i need help to access to a Global like ^name over ODBC (SQL)
i will visit this global in a loop from a php site. It a access over SQL or ODBC possible?

Thanks for help and marry Christmas

Good morning,

First of all thanks for your help and time.

We find ourselves at a crossroads in our development journey, and we're reaching out to the community for insights and guidance regarding a critical aspect of our data management strategy.

Our current challenge revolves around the persistence of data in Globals, specifically when it comes to purging. The issue at hand is that, despite purging, data stored in Globals under the current %Persistent classes remains intact. To address this, we are contemplating a shift from %Persistent to %SerialObject for each relevant class.

Hello, 

We noticed from the integrity logs that some of the namespaces in our integration engine are using large amount of space ( ~380GB ) for the global ^EnsHL7.Segment. 

We have culling implemented for large globals like MessageHeader and MessageBody.

Is it a standard process to implement culling for ^EnsHL7.Segment global and any idea about what will be the impact of adding culling to this global?

Currently I have a program that is going to be used to compare global nodes between namespaces. Using nested FOR statements I am stepping through global nodes and comparing between the namespaces, if the global values are different I then parse the node comparing each delimited segment.

This is working.

I want to now be able to set what global I am in as a variable to expand on this concept. 

Program architecture

1.Initializing program that has user prompts to change starting nodes. This program contains the FOR nests to step through nodes.

I found the thread that discusses object mapping, in particular mapping a common global among more than one namespace. The example that is given is a simple one when it's ^global(sub1, ^global(sub2, etc. However I'm having trouble getting this to compile/work when the global has a fixed subscript amongst variable ones.

I have this global in namespaces LAB and ARK in the following format:
^CB(1,sub1)=....

^CB(1,sub2)=...

^CB(1,sub3)=...

Dear experts,
Please, could you help me?

Im trying import a global:

ACB> K ^GlobalManualSend
ACB> D $System.OBJ.Load("C:\Users\BNAPC\GlobalManualSend.xml")
ACB> Set sc = ##class(%Studio.Project).InstallFromGbl("^GlobalManualSend","fv")

But is returning a error about version:

Please, could you help me about it?

Thank you.

Those of you that worked already with ECP might know that it operates not only across
operating systems, processor technologies (big-little-endian), but also -with limits- across versions in C/E.
This cross-version feature also includes IRIS (verified for 2020.1)  and C/E (2018.3)

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 InterSystems Community!
This is probably far-fetched - is there a way to get notified/get a piece of code triggered whenever the state of a global changes?

Now what could I possibly want with that? Quite simple! I would like to forward the content of a global (in this case the "FSLog" global written by the FHIR implementation) while adding timestamps to it - to create some sort of file-based logging for it.

Dear people,

I (really) spent hours on finding the maximum size a Global is allowed to be (for Windows, if that matters). All I seem to run into are database sizes (derived from a max number of blocks and block size), but I refuse to believe that is correct because too small to be realistic.  

It will  undoubtedly my fault that I don't understand or misread the concepts of "database" vs Globals, envisioning files as such while one set of functional Globals in one file (?

I started some development with the IRIS 2020.4 version and did not continue it for some months.

Now I just wanted to continue, but saw the license is not valid anymore.

Is there still a possibility to upgrade to 2021.2 community edition and to recover the globals from the old edition without having a valid license key?

How to find a global's original namespace ? Potentially mapped from a different namespace .

I have a global ^Custom that exists in multiple namespaces but it could mapped from namespace Drone(A) to Launch(B)

Without access to Cache management portal how to find where is my global located using cache code ?

Like if ^Custom == ^[Drone]Custom ??

I have number of hosts on an Ensemble production that are not updating the %LastActivity property in the

^CacheTemp.EnsHostMonitor global. This in return create an issue with our dashboard software which is showing wrong results even as the host is processing messages without issues.

Hello community!

I'm facing a base growth issue, which is being generated by a process and an Ensemble feature.

When executing the process of cleaning up the message queues, the Ensemble “preserves” the Streams that were part of these messages, deleting only the Header and Body. In this way the database (of one of the namespaces) has grown around 60GB per day, which has been maxing out the disk capacity.

InterSystems informed that this is a characteristic and that it is explained in the documents mentioned below.

https://community.intersystems.

In Caché, it's possible to iterate a local array using $QUERY() :

set a("foo") = 50
set a("bar") = 30

set key = "a"
for
{
     set key = $QUERY(@key)
     quit:key="" 
     write key_" = "_@key
}

This code works perfectly, unless it's called in a job (eg: a routine called by the JOB command).

In that case, $QUERY will return an empty string. It's like the array cannot be referenced anymore by simply using it's name.
It works using $ORDER(a("")) but I would like to use $QUERY if possible (because my array has several dimensions and it would require several for loops).

Hi colleagues!

Is there a way to export globals in XML if I have the access to Management Portal or any other web app?

Currently, it gives the option to export into gof format only.

Hi, we suddenly noticed that one of the edge storage increased by 30% and it was due to ERROR globals which was throwing repeated error for 7 days and it consumed 35GB space. Is there a way to log the storage of edge production on daily basis and compare the increase in storage with previous day and if increase is 5% more than trigger an email to system admit to look why the storage increased suddenly. 

What is the best way to get the size and other storage details of individual Globals in a namespace? 

Thanks,

Mary

Good Morning,

I have this question for a long time. When I make an insert by SQL from an external application in the fields of type %String, if they are empty, it writes the character $c(0) in the global.

Is there a way so that if an Insert is received in a field of type% String with null value instead of the $ c (0) it leaves it empty?:

I have the class defined like this:

Class User.MiClase Extends (% Persistent,% XML.Adaptor)

and the property like this:

Property myProperty As% String;

I have tried creating a trigger or setting default values but it doesn't work.

If a global node contains special characters, (eg : a line returns), it will be displayed like this in Portal ("System > Globals > View Global Data" panel) :

^A(1) = "this is"_$c(13,10)_"a test"

I would like to export global data to a txt file using a similar format.

I already wrote the main code (that loops on all nodes and dump them to file), the problem is how to handle special characters.
For the moment I replace them manually one by one. It works, but it's far from perfect :

set text = .

From my recent post, I uploaded a set of values into a global, and I am trying to compare the first field, and then

$GLOBAL("123", "bone issue")=""

$GLOBAL("234","joint issue")=""

Now, I want to compare and see if the DG1:4.1 segment has the code $GLOBAL and then replace the DG14.1 segment with the code and the description

so For Eg: if DG1:4.1 exists in $GLOBAL("123") then replace the segment with the code and description

Can someone guide me on how I can achieve this?

We are using Ensemble and I added some debug logging that writes to a global and recompiled the class in Studio. However, when we send messages, the global is not populated. I have recompiled, removing the checkmark to keep the generated code so that there is only one .INT file and I verified that the code is present in the .INT file. 

My question is, do we need to stop and restart the Ensemble production in order for these changes to take effect? Do I need to stop and restart the business operation that calls this piece of code? Is there something else I may have missed?

I have a number of globals I want to loop through depending on a passed in string...

^A("SYSTEM")

^B("SYSTEM")

^C("SYSTEM")

^D("SYSTEM")

^E("SYSTEM")

I am passing in a string of "A:C:D"

Piecing that to pull out A,C,D, then want to use that to pull out A,C,D from above, but having problems setting the name of the global to be the name of the variable I have pulled out of the string

How do I set this?

I have tried ^varname("SYSTEM")

also tried setting a variable to have the value "^varname" and using that

Thanks

Hello Intersystems-Community,

I build an API and there I use $order to get the Data from my Globals.
When I first time use that API it's get an error (504 Gateway-Timout > 60 Sec.).

After 2 reloads it works with a loading time of 2 Sec.! Sounds for me like the $order is cached and it works faster. Is it true $order will be cached?

When it works, I only get the error at the next day. So it's very hard to reproduce that error.
