Hi developers!

While developing web apps the security practice I consider safe and convenient is to create a special Role (e.g. equal application name) which contains security resources which application will need (SQL tables, priviledges, database access, etc) and assign it to the Web Application.
So the user gets this role once it loggs in to the application (via password, no password or delegated).

Convenient, right?

So, the question is, when I deploy the app as an IPM module what should I put as a database access?

I have see this discussed on the community but I'm not quite finding an answer.

Hi Community,

How Can I do to return ID when I call %JSONExport()?

I was wondering if someone could help me. In the past I have been able to call external Stored Procedures through a SQL Outbound Connection and have them return me the EnsLib.SQL.Snapshot to use within a BPL to extract data.

But this time instead of using a SQL Outbound BO to make the Stored Procedure call, I decided to create a Linked Stored Procedure through the %JDBC_Server to point to the Stored Procedure out on MS SQL.

However, I am struggling to get the code just right to return the Column value from the Linked Stored Procedure.

Hi all,

I can't find the list of business host setting sections and (crucially) how to refer to them in the SETTINGS parameter, as marked in purple here:

Parameter SETTINGS = "MySetting:Basic";

Does anyone know where this list lives?

Say I have an ObjectScript object called Book. It has 2 properties title and author. It extends JSON.%Adaptor, so I can call book.%JSONExport() and get this output:

In my web service I want to have a search function that returns an array of Books along with the total number of responses, like this:

Hello,

Our software commonly returns a full result set to the client and we use the DataTables plugin to display table data. This has worked well, but at datasets grow larger, we are trying to move some of these requests server-side so the server handles the bulk of the work rather than the client. This has had me scratching my head in so many ways.

I'm hoping I can get a mix of general best practice advice but also maybe some IRIS specific ideas.

Some background

I'm exploring this right now: given a bunch of types defined as Pydantic models, how can I come up with an equivalent %RegisteredObject/%SerialObject and convert to/from (e.g., to support persistence and match validation as much as possible)?

People who know Python better than I do (e.g., your average undergraduate from this decade): is this a stupid idea or a cool idea? Has anyone else done this before?

Hi,

How can I query fields by passing them in variable names, eg. I would like to query columns Book & Author fields from eg. the following :

S =var1="Book", var2="Author"

Select var1,var2 from myTables.Books

I tried @var1 or %var1 and didn't work

Thanks

I want to create a scheduler to montor the status of list of backend jobs ( say limit is 10). there going to be job queue. Need to pick a job form job queue when one of the current processing job is finished.
What is the best way to implement this

We are receiving the report in text format and it has special characters like ', - like that in the text. Source system is using the UTF8 encoding format hence the text is showing as ' � ' . Is there a way to convert the utf8 to actual character in the DTL.

Thank you,

Hello,

I tried to define Pool Size in System Default Settings, but it is not being used. I see I am not the first to try this without success:

Any suggestions?

Hi all.

I'm trying to create an indexed table with an vector field so I can search by the vector value.
I've been investigating and found that to get the vector value based on the text (token), use a Python method like the following:

I was using VSCode to edit a DTL because it seemed easier to copy/paste code from parts of the DTL I was editing. I tried to add <sql> tag and code to call a SELECT statement, but when I compiled I got the following error...

ERROR <Ens>ErrInvalidDTL: Invalid DTL

> ERROR #5490: Error running generator for method 'GetSourceDocType:osuwmc.Epic.MFN.DTL.EpicMFN949002Normalization'
