#Object Data Model

I'm participating in the Developing with InterSystems Objects and SQL with Joel Solon. The course is very nice and I will share with you some tips I got during the training. Tips presented in the day 3:

1. You can see your class catalog using %Dictionary classes and see your sql objects into INFORMATION_SCHEMA table.
2. Is possible use SQL inside your ObjectScript methods using Dynamic SQL or Embedded SQL.
3. You can pass parameters into Dynamic SQL string using ? (eg.: where country = ?) and pass parameters to Embedded SQL using colon (ed.: where country = :variable).

We are trying to convert some of our SQL Service Integration Service jobs from Visual Studio to Ensemble. If we execute a Stored Procedure within SQL Server Management Studio it is returning approx 12,000 rows. However when Ensemble executes the same Stored Procedure it is only returning 250 rows.

Is there a limitation to EnsLib.SQL.Snapshot?

This is how we are calling the Stored procedure

Method uspInterfaceEnsSelectPER355MC(pRequest As osuwmc.SSIS.DataStructures.InputPER355MC, Output pResponse As EnsLib.SQL.Snapshot) As %Status
{
Set SPQuery = "{ ?= call dbo.

Hi-

I have a need to store a password in an object property of a User object.   

What would be best practice for data type assigned to the "Password" property and securing that password against prying eyes, both just browsing the global as well as via SQL?  Better yet, how can I prevent a specific property from being projected to SQL?

Thanks

Class Queries in InterSystems IRIS (and Cache, Ensemble, HealthShare) is a useful tool that separates SQL queries from Object Script code. Basically, it works like this: suppose that you want to use the same SQL query with different arguments in several different places.In this case you can avoid code duplication by declaring the query body as a class query and then calling this query by name. This approach is also convenient for custom queries, in which the task of obtaining the next row is defined by a developer. Sounds interesting? Then read on!

Hi,

We are wondering how to create translation profile for HL7 to SDA in "HEALTH SHARE". can you please help us with the class definition containing the mapping for that(so that we can import directly and understand the mapping).

Thanks,

Sam

I try to compare classic JOIN against implicit JOIN.

It is a simple case. But I am surprised.

The class:
Class Sample.Person1 Extends (%Persistent, %Populate)
{  Property Name As %String;
Property Home As Sample.Address;
Property AR As array Of Sample.Address; }

Query #1 - classic:
select name,home_state,a.* from sample.person1 p
join sample.person1_AR a on p.Id=a.person1
and home_state=AR_state

Query #2 - implicit
select person1->name,person1->home_state,*
from sample.person1_AR where person1->home_state=AR_state

for both I have the same query plan:

It is a simple query on  2 or 1 simple  tables.

This is a sample to use %JSON.Adaptor class available in IRIS to produce a snapshot of your object.

The sample consists of 2 classes that are variations of what was known in Caché/SAMPLES as Sample.Person.
Be aware that the possibilities are limited by %JSON.Adapter and how you make use of it.

Once in place, you create some test data by Populate().
You select an object and take a snapshot.
You apply changes to your object and take another snapshot.
And see the difference.

BINGO!

Let's say we have two serial classes, one as a property of another:

Class test.Serial Extends %SerialObject
{
Property Serial2 As test.Serial2;
}

Class test.Serial2 Extends %SerialObject
{
Property Property As %String;
}

And a persistent class, that has a property of test.Serial type:

Class test.Persistent Extends %Persistent
{

Property Datatype As %String;

Property Serial As test.Serial;

}

So it's a serial, inside a serial, inside a persistent object.

Good day all -

I am attempting to use the Data Transformation Builder (for ease of use for my other engineers) to build up a web service request object to send to an outbound operation. The source is a custom persistent class (extends Ens.Response, %JSON.Adaptor) and has serialized sub-class data elements and the request object is a custom persistent class (extends Ens.Request, %JSON.Adaptor.)

When attempting to use a for each on one of the serialized properties of the source object, the for each works (source.

Hi Community! I need your advice.

The method below is 6 times slower on production server than on developing machine:

ClassMethod runme4()
{
    s cnt=615210
    s st=$zh
    for i=1:1:cnt {
        s p=##class(digi.packet).%OpenId("packet||5237")
        w:p="" "not found",!
        k p
    }
    w $zh-st,!
}

BUT the server is 6 times faster if OpenId replaced with simple read of a large global (s p=^someLargeGlobal). Any ideas what makes OpenId so slow only on the server?

And another question: I wanted to profile the code with  %Monitor.System.

In this article I'd like to share with you a phenomena that is best you avoid - something you should be aware of when designing your data model (or building your Business Processes) in Caché or in Ensemble (or older HealthShare Health Connect Ensemble-based versions).

When I describe InterSystems IRIS to more technically-minded people, I always start with how it is a multimodel DBMS at its core.

In my opinion that is its main advantage (on the DBMS side). And the data is stored only once. You just choose the access API you want to use.

• You want some sort of summary for your data? Use SQL!
• Do you want to work extensively with one record? Use objects!
• Want to access or set one value and you know the key? Use globals!

Hello community,

I recently started to work with Ensemble. I defined a subclass of EnsLib.HL7.Message.  In my production I receive HL7v2 messages and transport them using the Message Router to a business operation. The operation class has an OnMessage method with parameter

pObject As MySubclassOfEnsLibHL7Message.

I expected that specifying the parameter type, on receiving the message an implicit type cast would be performed. However, $CLASSNAME reveals that my messages are still of type EnsLib.HL7.Message. How can I convert my messages in ObjectScript (without DTLs or something the like)?

Hi-

I have a class that specifies that streams should be stored in SSA.DocumentCacheS, however, they are getting stored in CacheStream instead.

How can I get streams to properly store in SSA.DocumentCacheS?

Here's the section from my storage definition that shows the StreamLocation

<DataLocation>^SSA.DocumentCacheD</DataLocation>
<DefaultData>DocumentCacheDefaultData</DefaultData>
<IdLocation>^SSA.DocumentCacheD</IdLocation>
<IndexLocation>^SSA.DocumentCacheI</IndexLocation>
<StreamLocation>^SSA.DocumentCacheS</StreamLocation>
<Type>%Storage.

Introduction

The common requirement in many applications is logging of data changes in a database - which data has changed, who changed them and when (audit logging). There are many articles about this question and there are different approaches on how to do that in Caché.

I'm sharing a mechanism that can help you implement your framework to track and record data changes. This mechanism creates a trigger through an "objectgenarator" method once your persistent class inherits from the "Audit Abstract Class" (Sample.AuditBase). Since your persistent class inherits Sample.

Hi, 

I know there are several alternatives, but I would like to find the easiest & simpler ones to store data coming in Json format from post requests and also allowing me to do SQL queries. 

I want to have a property called favouriteColors. I want to store a few colors, and I want to be able to do queries to get top favorite colors, etc.

What if you could serialize/deserialize objects in whatever format: JSON, XML, CSV,...; attending different criteria: export/import some properties and not others, transform values in this or that way before exporting/importing,...; and all of this without having to change the class definition? Wouldn't that be great??

Well, perhaps it's a goal too ambitious to reach 100% but, exploring this idea, I've developed a bunch of classes that I thought it was good to share. If you want to test, change, modify or improve the code, or just take a look at it, you can do it here. There you'll find a more detailed explanation (see Readme.md)

Hi,

I have two namespaces

1. In the first one, I have defined a class which Extends (%Persistent, Ens.Util.MessageBodyMethods), we'll call it NSOne.Msg.Req
2. In the second namespace NSTwo, I want to use the previous class with something like SET pInput = ##class(NSOne.Msg.Req).%New()

I mapped the NSOne.Msg.Req package in namespace NSOne. In Atelier, I can see NSOne.Msg.Req in my NSOne. But, when I try to execute line 2 above, it tells me :

{
    "status": {
        "errors": [
            {
                "error": "ERROR #5002: ObjectScript error: <PROTECT>^NStwo.Api.

Is it possible to use a class parameter in class query?

Example:

Class SomeClass
{

Parameter SOMENAME = "Name1";

Query SomeQuery() As %SQLQuery
{
SELECT ID || ..#SOMENAME  || Name FROM Table
}

}

In the previous article, I have demonstrated a simple way to record data changes. At this time I have changed the "Audit Abstract Class" which is responsible for recording audit data and the data structure where the audit log will be recorded.

I have changed the data structure to a parent and child structure where there will be two tables to record the "transaction" and the "fields its values" changed on that transaction.

Take a look at the new data model:

Take a look at the code changed from "Audit Class":

Hello community!

I have a question about the %OnSave method of a class.  We have a class that  has two properties that are classes. 

Class A

Class B

Class C

Class A.PropertyB as Class B

ClassA.PropertyC as Class C

Classes B and C also need to point back to Class A - it's just the way it is.  We need to be able to use any one of these classes and get to the others (it's actually even more complicated than this, as Classes B and C also have a PropertyC and PropertyB as well, respectively) :

ClassB.PropertyA as Class A

ClassC.

Today, I was reading some source code, and encountered the following method signature:

Method SendRequestSync(pRequest As %Library.Persistent, ByRef pResponse As %Library.Persistent)

And I immediately thought, why is there a ByRef?

I have several BPL's that act like SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) where they are transferring data. When I do this they are all being written under 1 session id, is it possible to make the BPL create multiple session ID's as it is cycling through a Snapshot, so it is easier to read in the trace?

Thanks

Hello,
Having difficulty with sending POST request.

How I can send parameters in the body of request, if i'm using ContentType:"application/x-www-form-urlencoded".

Version of ensemble: 2010

My code is bellow:

Set httpRequest=##class(%Net.HttpRequest).%New()
set httpRequest.SSLConfiguration="1"
Set httpRequest.ContentCharset="utf-8"
Set httpRequest.Server="test.oath.com"
Set httpRequest.Port=443
Set httpRequest.Https=1
Set httpRequest.Location = "/auth/key"
set httpRequest.ContentType="application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
Set httpRequest.ContentCharset="utf-8"    
do httpRequest.EntityBody.

The Management Portal allows you to Export one or more globals to a file that you can then Import into that or another namespace.  However, the Management Portal can only be used to export entire globals.  For exporting selected nodes or subtrees within a global, a different utility is necessary.   This utility is the Export() classmethod in the %Library.Global class, which can export an entire global but also has the ability to export selected nodes or subtrees.

Some time ago, InterSystems introduced the concept of %DynamicObjects.
This feature is a powerful tool that makes it very easy to convert any string of JSON text to objects and vice versa.
However, in the work that J2 Interactive is doing for our customers, there are a couple of things that "need some tweaking".

Very often, we create REST services for our customers. Those services have a payload (in JSON format) that contains information that our customer expects in the form of an object that is proprietary to them.

I am still working on a generic task where I need to apply journal file records to another database. Initially I didn't want to use Journal.Restore class methods as I need to perform some data transformation, and it seemed that the clearest way to achieve it was to read journal file record by record using %SYS.Journal.Record API. 

This approach worked (with some help from @Dmitry Konnov Maslennikov and @Eduard Lebedyuk), while it turned that the processing speed of %SYS.Journal.Record:List query was very slow, about 1MB of journal data per second on a mid-range server.

Hello everyone!

Does anyone know of a library that can be used to create Mock objects for Objectscript classes?

Right now, my team has been building mock objects by hand to help circumvent dependencies when writing and executing unit tests, but I always wondered if someone had ever created a Mock library like Mockito to help quicken the process. 

Thanks!
