#Key Question

The task is to find all globals that are referenced in certain routines. I could search for ^ using class(%Studio.Project).FindInFiles  but that would also find ^ in comments and function calls. I can distinguish between a global and a function call visually, but it would be lovely to be able to skip function calls programmatically. Is it possible?

The Find and Replace screen in Studio has a capability of searching for ^ with Match Element Type set to Global Variable. Maybe I could use that but what is the ObjectScript function behind this screen if any?

Hello,

So i want to use the INSERT OR UPDATE command so i can update a COUNTER for a given name:

INSERT OR UPDATE myTable
SET name='Omer',  counter = counter + 1;

as you can see with the above code - if the row is non-existent then we get an error because COUNTER is NULL! 
I tried the following to fix this but all have failed:

INSERT OR UPDATE myTable
SET name = 'Omer', 
    counter = CASE 
        WHEN counter IS NULL THEN 1 
        ELSE counter + 1
    END

INSERT OR UPDATE myTable SET name='Omer',counter = COALESCE(counter + 1, 1)

INSERT OR UPDATE myTable SET name='

Hello! 
So my question is quite simple, Do the different data models of Intersystems all support the ACID properties?
I assume that for the SQL data model implementation it does, But does it also work for global (i.e the hierarchical  data model)?
I searched the docs and the different articles, It seems for example that here its implied that the different data models of Intersystems  DO indeed support the ACID properties and allow for safe insertion, deletion etc... in concurrent operations to the server that is.

Would love to get a clarification, Thx!

I'm attempting to build a fairly complicated object graph, with nested objects and collections, in order to create a FHIR bundle.

In its most basic form there is a <bundle></bundle> element that represents the root, and there can be a number of nested <entry></entry> child elements.

I'm attempting to represent this as such:

class Bundle (%RegisteredObject, %XML.Adaptor)
{
    Property Entries As List Of Entry;
}

The problem is when this is projected it nests each Entry object within an Entries container, which makes sense but I don't want this. Is there a way to "flatten" or ignore the

Is there any mechanism already implemented in IRIS to prevent XSS exploits ? 

This case happen when user input html/javascript content into fields and submit the page. If saved content is rendered as is, it's going to be executed by anyone visiting the page.

What I am looking for : 

• Built-in protection mechanisms that can be enabled globally (eg: per web application) or per CSP page. Something similar to a web application firewall.
• Functions to call manually that can detect such content in fields or sanitize them (remove unwanted content). I could implement such functions myself but don'

Hey Community,

Hello everyone, 
so lets say i have the following:

Hello
Q
say(arg)
    w arg
 Q

and i am trying to execute it by its name such as:

s a = "say^hello"

*execute the name inside a*
 

now I know for a fact that if say were written without any argument then do @a would work!

but I can I pass an argument in this case?
I don't want to use Xecute because I am in need of really high performance code.
 

I assume IPM manifest tag UnitTest is tightly coupled with the standard unit test framework, right? However we have our own one that predates the standard one and we are not going to switch.

I think I need to import the unit test cases and then be able to run a single class method for the test run. Any ideas how this would be possible?

Is it some certain class, method, global, api, application or neither? If the entity is some of this what is the syntax?

Hi, I'm working on a large extraction from a database and need to parallelize the processes during the extraction.

Here's what happens:

1. The user starts the extraction from.
2. Several jobs are started using the Job <Method> instruction.

At the end, the user expects to find a document containing the results of all the extractions. What I'd like to do is start a new job that checks whether the previously started jobs have finished or are still working and consequently produce the document.

After starting each job, using $ZCHILD instruction I can get the ID of the last started job. I might

Hi Team, 

Is there a way to search for a string or use of a function in all namespaces in one go.

Hello every one, here in our company we are trying to develop a tool to help us in our "Code Review" that today is completely done for another developer.
So I need to develope a tool that reads a class/routine (Already done) and identify if in the current line there is some abbreviated command, that is against our policy of codification, for example:
s variable = "test"
d ..SomeMethod()
So in this cases I want to warn the original developer that the code has parts that need to change the "s" to "Set" and de "d" to "Do".
I tried to found some library in the documentation but with no success, if ther

I have a question about using OnInit() within a Ens.BusinessOperation.

When you include OnInit(), does OnInit() only execute when you start a Business Operation? Or does it execute OnInit () every time you send a REST request to the operation. I am trying to pinpoint when the best time is to execute the POST command to get the Token

I am needing to get a Bearer Token from a REST POST call and return the Authorization key prior to making the rest of the REST calls to pull down data.

When not using OAuth, what have you done to get the Token prior to executing any Requests?

Thanks

We're looking to create a quick and simple test to see if all firewalls are open on 1972 between a linux based web server VM and a VM running InterSystems IRIS.  Does anyone have any ideas for a quick command that can be run from UNIX console that will provide confirmation that traffic is able to get to 1972 on an IRIS machine?

BTW - I don't think it makes any difference but the IRIS machine is running Windows

Let's say I have an InterSystems IRIS instance with 6 Namespaces:

• Foo1
• Foo2
• Foo3
• Foo4
• Foo5
• Bar

And the number of Foo# namespaces can increase at any time for a number of reasons.  I need to ensure that they all have identical configuration globals stored in a DB called CONFIG, so I do the following in my configuration file:

[Map.%ALL] 
Global_SYS=%DEFAULTDB 
Global_SYS("CommonConfig")=CONFIG 
Global_SYS("CommonOtherSettings")=CONFIG 
Global_SourceControl=CONFIG 

This will ensure that all Namespace see the exact same settings when they reference ^SYS("CommonConfig") or ^SourceControl,
