#Interoperability

This is a FYI for anyone who has experienced the following error after upgrading an existing  instance to any product based on Caché 2017.2.2. In our case, the products are HealthShare HealthConnect for Redhat x64 and for Windows x86-64 but I believe it would be a common problem for any InterSystems product on any platform, if based on Caché 2017.2.2. After upgrading our development instance from 2016.2.2 to 2017.2.2, we experienced the following errors when attempting to start a pre-existing Java Object Gateway that was defined prior to the upgrade:

Execution returned: 'Error: Could not find o

I want to call java method and return $lb structure from it.

JDBC jar seems to contain relevant class -  com.intersys.jdbc.CacheListBuilder, but so far I only managed to return a string that looks like a list.

Here's my java code:

package isc.poi;

import com.intersys.jdbc.CacheListBuilder;
import java.sql.SQLException;

public class Test {

    public static String Test() throws SQLException
    {
        CacheListBuilder list = new CacheListBuilder("UTF8");
        list.set(123);
        list.set(456);
        list.set("\"abc\"");

        return list.toString();
    }
}

There are numerous ways to interact with InterSystems Caché: We can start with ODBC/JDBC that are available via SQL gateway. There are API for .NET and Java too. But if we need to work with native binary libraries, such interaction is  possible through Caché Callout Gateway, which can be tricky. You can read more about the ways of facilitating the work with native libraries directly from Caché in the article below.

Trying to connect Ensemble to RabbitMQ following this article I'm using Java Gateway and encountered the following problem - in all my calls I need to pass connection object, which is always the same but it takes a long time to create. Here's java code:

package com.myorgname.rabbitmq;

import com.rabbitmq.client.ConnectionFactory;
import com.rabbitmq.client.Connection;
import com.rabbitmq.client.Channel;
import com.rabbitmq.client.QueueingConsumer;

public class Wrapper {

  public void sendMsg(String hostName, String queueName, byte[] msg) throws Exception {
       ConnectionFact

Any one can suggest, to write the event log to the text file. Its kind of a alerting. Already a service for alerting is there via email. Same concept to do the log to text file.

I have tried to create Ensemble SOAP passthrough operation following this guide.

Here's my production configuration (after steps 1-4):

Hi.

It is easy to receive JSON representation or dynamic Array from %ListOfDataTypes:

set l=##class(%ListOfDataTypes).%New()
do l.Insert("a")
do l.Insert("b")
do l.Insert("c")

set arrStr=l.$toJSON()
zwrite arrStr
set arr=l.$compose([])
zwrite arr

How to make backward conversion? How to receive %ListOfDataTypes from dynamic Array an JSON string?

I've tried

SAMPLES>set list = ##class(%ListOfDataTypes).$fromJSON("[""a"",""b"",""c""]")

%FromObject+21^%Library.RegisteredObject.1 *%Exception.General Compose Compose %FromObject Unable to map from %Library.Array instance to %L

The Data Platforms department here at InterSystems is gearing up for this year's crop of interns, and I for one am very excited to meet them all next week!

We've got folks from top technical colleges with diverse specialties from hard core engineers to pure computer scientists to mathematicians to business professionals. They come from countries around the world like Vietnam, China, and Finland and they all come with impressive backgrounds. We're sure they will do very well this summer.

Rather than providing a set list of projects this year, Data Platforms interns will be developing their own pr

I am looking for a general overview of how you would attach a document to a patient record in healthshare.  For instance, an Advance Directive or Living Will.

Here are some starter questions:

1. What format is required, if any?  Can it be a PDF or DOC?
2. How can/should it be submitted?  HL7? XDS.b?  Embedded in a CCD?

Sorry for the open endedness.  Any info would be helpful while I research this.

Hello community,
 

I'm triing to use perl with Caché on CentOS 7.

• Caché is installed and working
• Reading doc for perl module
• Adding path of Caché/bin in PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH as suggested in doc
• Creating mMakefile (perl Makefile.PL)
• Success at compilation (make)
• Fail at test (make test). And return the following message:

Can't load 'blib/arch/auto/Intersys/PERLBIND/PERLBIND.so' for module Intersys::PERLBIND: libcbind.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at /usr/lib64/perl5/DynaLoader.pm line 190.
 at test.pl line 10.

The test are a simple file that try to load the module in pe

Recently I came across a very strong statement to the effect that InterSystems.Data.CacheClient.dll library works fast because it does not open a TCP/IP connection, instead it works in the same process as a database. It made me pause for quite some time. Firstly because .Net Managed Provider, which utilises this library, opens TCP/IP connection to the database (and it is stated in the documentation "Using .NET and the ADO.NET Managed Provider with Caché"). And secondly, because as far as I know only eXtreme applications attach themselves to the process. Besides, CacheClient for the most part j

I have posted to aid others in diagnosing problem with SSL/TLS connections to superserver port from .NET client executable.

The cache instance this appeared on is quite old - 2011 - so I do not know if Intersystems have added a better error message in a later version

The actual fault was due to the certificate in the %SuperServer SSL/TLS configuration having expired.

The unhelpful message that appeared in the .NET client included the following partial stack trace.

   *** CacheException..ctor: (12:05:09:546) [ConnID= 34822912] [SvrJob=Unknown] [ThreadID=9]

Microsoft Office has components for using in third party applications: COM Objects for C++ and Interop Assemblies for .Net programming.

Many Cache projects used to include calls to those libraries. However, recently this solution started being problematic.

There are two main reasons - legal and technical. Let’s check the details.

Microsoft is supporting Office Automation only for desktop computing. 

It shall not be used for server computing, as they offer Sharepoint for this scenario. Have a look here:

This article explains the basics of OpenVMS file structures, from a Caché prospective, and what you need to know to read and write any OpenVMS file with Caché, even the files with difficult file structures.

On UNIX and Windows all files are just a stream of octets (eight-bit bytes). Assigning meaning to those octets is done entirely by convention. Those conventions are rather simple, even if slightly different on UNIX and Windows. Meanwhile, the authors of OpenVMS thought that file structure was so important, they built it into the Operating System in the form of the Record Management Services

Hello community; this may seem odd, but I need to know if there's any way we could be using callin functions from a C application without knowing?  e.g. if other developers created some C programs that call in to Caché that we don't realize are running.  Is that possible?  If so, where would I look to see these programs?  Perhaps the server's task manager? 

Thanks --Laura

Preface: our small, but very ambitious company called “Black Mushroom Studio” came up with an idea for an e-commerce project and a mobile app that would let users pay for certain goods/services via a payment aggregator.

What we had initially: an Android app skeleton that, of course, liked communicating via HTTP and JSON, and a payment system with an API – web services with SOAP content.

Goal: make it all work together.

Using Node.js with Caché - Introduction says the following:

The cache.node module is the Node.js interface for the GlobalsDB kit, which can be obtained from the GlobalsDB download page (http://globalsdb.org/downloads/). The Node.js interface can be used with either Caché or the free GlobalsDB database.
The installation kit includes detailed documentation on how to install and configure the cache.node module.

However, http://globalsdb.org/downloads gives a 404 and http://globalsdb.org just redirects to intersystems.com

Where can I find the files I need?

I have a MySQL server with "posts" table.

I also have a Caché server with "downloadedposts" table. 

They are connected from Caché to MySQL via SQL Gateway

I want to keep Caché table synced with MySQL one  (MySQL "posts" table is a master copy), so periodically Caché queries MySQL server and downloads data. So far so good, and if a record appears or changes in MySQL table, Caché downloads the changes.

The problem I'm encountering is that sometimes rows would be deleted from  MySQL "posts" table.

How do I synchronize deletions?

Hi All,

I've created a sample implementation of the MQTT protocol, which is now available on GitHub. 

The project demonstrates MQTT client capabilities and it's written in Caché Object Script.

Any comments, bug reports are welcome! Some more enhancements (like SSL / TLS support) are planned for the near future.

Hi,

We do have a production including a SOAP.OutboundAdapter that make a request to a .NET WCF Service. The response from that service vary in size. When it come to large one, we talk about maybe 8000 records (with 6-8 attributes per record) in xml, the adapter always give a timout. Even if we put a high number of seconds or set -1. After 1 1/2h still nothing get back. It's just standing there and waiting for ever.

Our .NET developer have look at it (on the WCF-service)  and from ther point of view they say that it seems like Ensemle can't handle such big responses.

In .Net it.s possi

Introduction

Because of increasing business and governmental pressures to integrate their operations, the financial services industry is developing a number of standards for data exchange and other common functions. Standards such as XBRL, FpML, MDDL, RIXML, and FIXML are all specialized dialects of XML (Extensible Markup Language). Any financial services application with good support for XML will be able to communicate effectively using one or more of the emerging industry standards.

Efficient data exchange increases the need for fast, scalable data persistence. Financial services applications
