Question Scott Roth · Dec 21, 2018

Has anyone called any outside Javascript code from inside their class files? I asked a long time ago if there was a way to manipulate an image within Cache Object Script, and since Cache doesn't have any image libraries its not really possible. However I have found Javascript to resize an image and wonder how hard it would be to mesh the two together.

Can anyone share any examples?

Thanks

Scott

Working on wrapping an IRIS Cache ObjectScript method that runs for a few seconds. Trying to get UI updates to show BEFORE the method runs in an async/await function. But it seems to be running synchronously rather than asynchronously . So my question is does IRIS/ObjectScript CSP pages support futures with JavaScript or does it run all synchronously.

Hi everyone,

I have a javascript function in *.js file. This function has to access to variable set by server.

I've tried setting the variable in *.js like this;

function dummy(){

var myText = '#(myText;

However it seems like the webserver doesn't understand this coding convention. The js file sent back to client set myText in dummy() with the hard-value #(myText)#. It's not the value of myText variable in server side.

I know I can achieve this by putting dummy() directly in csp file. However I have to put dummy() in separated file, so that other files can use it.

Hi everyone, I have and Zen Mojo application, it's all working but I have some doubts about what is recommended to use: There is some reports of employees, for example, and actually I'm using some plugins : "Excelent export" to generate Excel reports and "jspdf" to generate PDF reports in client side.

I have an REST service, that receives the request, process and returns JSON, after client side receive the response it's processed.

- This can be slow/bad in applications with large data?

- It's better/recommended to use ZenReports even with ZenMojo applications?

Hello,every body. 

I am having a problem when using atelier. I found that the web front-end related files (such as csp, css, js, etc.) will change in format when they are synced to the server.

For example:

The original format of the js file may be UTF-8. However, when I edited and saved in atelier, the file version format on the server became ANSI. I tried to configure the environment in eclipse, but it doesn't seem to work.

E.g:

Because the file contains Chinese characters, this has a significant impact on the actual use.

So, what should I do to solve this problem. Thank you in advance.

I cannot connect to Cache from node.js  

I have installed in Windows 10 the following: CACHE 2016, node.js v 4.4.7 and  express .

-  where can I get cache.node? The link in the Intersystmes documentation  http://globalsdb.org/downloads/  doesn't work. I found cache0100.node and cache0120.node  in my Cache instance's  \bin directory. But I am not sure if I can use them or not.

 - how to install cache.node ? Where do I place it exactly? 

Can anyone recommend any tutorial or code example with installation instructions?

Thank you!

Question Virginia Rogers · Jul 24, 2018

I have a web application and one of the CSP pages contains the following snippets:

<script language='javascript'>
function SubmitForm(pid,sid) {
//code to process form

alert ("study saved");

self.document.location="newpage.csp";

}

<form name="Studyform"  method="post" onsubmit='return SubmitForm(#(SubjObj.%Id())#,#(StudyObj.%Id())#);' >
<!-- form contents -->

The form is correctly processed, the object is saved, and the alert appears, but the new page does not get loaded and I cannot figure out why.

Any suggestions?

Question omer · Nov 24, 2024

I am working on a product that uses REGEX and matches it. 
The regex is tested both on the client-side (using the JavaScript REGEX engine) and both on the server-side.
But I couldn't find one word about the way intersystems parses the regex, It is quite elementary to state which which engine it works with. 
from what I could gather from early implementations and such, the engine is based off PCRE, But I need to confirm this somehow, Can anyone give me a definitive answer, Is there any tool to test the regex other than writing it myself?

Is it possible to get a code quality stamp of approval on the Open Exchange with an application written in Javascript?
My Iris Whiz application is a browser extension written in Javascript and I wonder if having the code quality stamp missing from my application page will put people off from using it.

Question Alex Kogan · Apr 5, 2022

I have a few Radio buttons, some of which have to have the same value.  I need to know which one the user have selected, so I am using text, however it does not work well so far.

Example: 
I have 4 Radio buttons: Apple, Pear, Lemon and Orange, with values: Apple, Pear have Value 1, and Lemon and Orange have Value of 2
(this unfortunatelly cannot be changed for this particular application)

I need to figure out that the user picked specifically Apple, so I am using text as follows:

var FruitSelected=$('[name='Nameoftheradiobuttonhere]:checked').parent().

Hi Community,

I have a CSP page I am developing with the intent of pulling files from an SFTP site and placing them in a folder on the local network.

I am having an issue where the CSP page is catching a JS error. The error in the browser is - A JavaScript exception was caught during execution of HyperEvent: SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier 'downloading'. (However, the unexpected identifier changes after refreshing page, or after removing the Write statement with the work 'downloading' in it.)

I think I have narrowed it down to a piece of the Javascript code -

Question Aaron Laferty · Aug 14, 2025

Hi all,

I’m running into an issue with a %ZEN.Component.tablePane in a Zen page.

We have:

  • A fully styled table with all columns defined
  • A backend query (SearchMessages) that accepts multiple filter parameters
  • A set of input fields at the top of the page for filtering (text, date, and checkboxes)

We’re trying to run the query from a button click using a client-side method (runSearch()) that collects the filter values, sets them as parameters, and calls executeQuery().

The problem is that the table does not update at all Old rows remain, or sometimes nothing appears.

Hi,

If I test the Native api for Node.js from the documentation, I noticed (if I'm correct) all methods and calls are synchronous. By default due to the nature of Node.js, there is only one thread of execution and normally all JavaScript methods and all calls should be asynchronous and use either a callback function (the "old way") or promises or the async/await contruct to return their result, e.g.:

  • myFunction(params, callbackFunction(response))
  • myFunction(params).

Hello, Does the NodeJs package work when running a node js file on windows (nodejs for windows)? I've added the package by running npm install <package location folder>

I have the following index.js file, but when running from node (windows) I get the following error. Does the NodeJs package build the output files when the package is added or does it just assume linux as the underlying os?

Error: Cannot find module './bin/winx64/irisnative.

Given the code below, I need help with getting the collected column widths from the Demo.Configuration table and stored in the columnWidths zne page property. As I understand it, I should be able to retrieve it using zenPage.columnWidths in the setColumnWidths or dgRender clientMethods but the alert is showing that it cannot be retrieved as it shows a value of Null. Once I can retrieve those values, then I want to set the widths of the colmns of the dynaGrid according to the values in the ^Demo.Configuration table.
