You can avoid the error by specifying a stream object as the argument of %ToJSON() used when generating a JSON string from a dynamic object.

A code example is below.

USER>set temp=##class(%Stream.TmpCharacter).%New()

USER>set jsonobj={}

USER>set jsonobj.pro1=["a","b","c","d"]

USER>set jsonobj.pro2=["あ","い","う","え"]

USER>do jsonobj.%ToJSON(temp)

USER>write temp.Size
51
USER>write temp.Read()
{"pro1":["a","b","c","d"],"pro2":["あ","い","う","え"]}

Question David Loveluck · Sep 6, 2023

on red hat, but I would also be interested in a wider answer.

after running a benchmark for 40 minutes, I have been asked if any rollbacks occurred in that time. Rollbacks from SQL or objects.

The application does not record this, so I am looking for a system level record.

The journal entries do the necessary reverse sets and commit just like any transaction. So i don't think i can detect them there.

The SQL documentation says "Messages indicating that a rollback occurred, and errors encountered during the rollback operation are logged in the cconsole.

Question Moritz Siegert · Aug 31, 2023

Hi there,

I want to use regex in my code, and I saw that the %Regex.Matcher class contains a property "OperationLimit" that you can also set to a number of steps that the regex engine should take maximum in analysing a given string. So far so good.

I tried to set the property with the function OperationLimitSet() to a silly value like 3. In 3 steps only very few regex should be executed, right? But what I found is that my regex always comes up with a solution. Here is what I did:

 

First I initialised my %Regex.Matcher.

set m = ##class(%Regex.Matcher).%New("(.+)\@(.+)\.(.+)")
do m.

Question Martin Staudigel · Aug 28, 2023

Hello Community,

To get to my problem, I need to elaborate a bit. We use an older fixed length format called HCM to transfer data from our SAP-ISH system to the Intersystems server. The data file is generated on a dedicated server and stored in a directory that is mounted to the communication server.
The synchrnoization is done via a lock file, which is exclusively locked in the adapter.
Now this, let's call it HCM server, is to be replaced. The old server is a CentOS 6.4 (Final) (uname -rv: 2.6.32-358.14.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jul 16 23:51:20 UTC 2013), the new server is a SLES15.

Question Scott Roth · Jul 8, 2019

Way back when during our Siemens LCR days we had to limit the number of characters in OBX.5 to a length of 75. That was back when we had eGate.

Now I need to do the reversal of that and take loop through a string length and split the string up into multiple OBX or NTE based on a certain length. In reading documentation $EXTRACT can do this if you know the exact length, but in this case we don't. 

So how would one loop through a string and say every 75 characters create a new OBX or NTE segment?

Thanks

Scott

Question AndreClaude Gendron · Apr 19, 2016

We are trying to create a simple class extending %RegisteredObject that could be used as a singleton. However we are not able to store it in a global to later be retrieved (by the same process but elsewhere in the code).

I resumed my issue in this small code sample : 

ClassMethod RunMe()
{
   // Create a simple %RegisteredObject
   set obj = ##class(%ZEN.proxyObject).%New()
   set obj.MyProp = 22
   do ##class(%SYSTEM.OBJ).Dump(obj)
   
   // Store it in a global
   set ^MyGlobalName = obj
   write "Stored : " _ obj,!!
      
   // Retrieve it from the global
   #Dim obj2 As %ZEN

As noted in the previous article Native API has some limits.
So I did some research on a more Terminal-like interface that
provides me with access like a console or the IRIS terminal
to allow my  $QUERY over a global and other nice commands
that are not supported/mapped in NativeAPI for ObjectScript.

The basic tools are well-prepared and available.

  • Connection() creates a fully operational and stable partition for me
  • Function() allows calling any routine or method I need
  • similar ClassMethodValue and ClassMethodVoid

There is just no method CommandLine and some already prepared code is needed.

Question Menno Voerman · Jul 13, 2023

Hi All,

We're doing our first babysteps with embedded Python and IRIS with an interoperability solution. We want to convert a CSV file to an Excel xlt file.

As service we've got a EnsLib.File.PassthroughService which picks up a csv file

As operation we've got a EnsLib.File.PassthroughOperation which writes the Excel file.

In the middle:

We've created an Business Process with an %Stream.GlobalCharacter in the Request and a %Stream.GlobalCharacter  in the Response.

But how do we get the %Stream.GlobalCharacter in the Python ClassMethod?

Hi,

Any recommendations on how i can add a logic if an incoming record that is already existing in the table but different total amount value. I need to subtract the totalamt value on the input file vs the totalamt value on the table and update the table with the difference of totalamt. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Developers, I'm currently doing a demo about building a front end UI doing data analytics and setup a performance test with large data objects, therefore using "Populate Utility" could help me auto generate some sample data that I can play with.

Within this post I would like to share my experience of using Populate Utility, including using POPSPEC Parameter.

InterSystems FAQ rubric

Whether the value of a local variable is an OREF or not can be determined using $IsObject(). Let v be the variable you want to check,

$IsObject(v)=1 // v is an OREF
$IsObject(v)=0 // v is not an OREF
$IsObject(v)=-1 // v is an OREF but does not point to a valid object

Note that $IsObject(v) will give an UNDEFINED error if v is undefined.

To avoid UNDEFINED errors, it is recommended to use $Get like this:

$IsObject($Get(v))

Question Sam Duncan · Jul 12, 2023

It can sometimes be useful to list or export all of the subclasses that are derived, directly or indirectly, from a given class. In Studio, the Class -> Derived Classes menu option will show such a list, but I'm not aware of a built-in API for programmatically exporting their source code.

Yesterday I wrote some code for exporting derived classes, and I'm thinking about cleaning it up and putting it on Open Exchange. But if there's a simple way to do this that someone has already figured out, I'd be happy to know about that (and help others find that solution) rather than reinventing the wheel.

Now the Classes/Rutines/DeepSee files will be automatically exported to the working directory after saving or compiling and files will be automatically deleted .

<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/B1pmqAQqd4M" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen> </iframe>

Installation

To install isc-dev , you just need to download and import the file isc-dev.xml from last release. Some ways to import isc-dev .xml file:

  • Go to Management Portal -> System Explorer -> Classes -> Import and select the XML file.
  • Drag the file over Studio.
  • Terminal command:
NS>do $system.OBJ.Load("yourpath/isc-dev.xml","ck")
NS>zpm
zpm: NS>install isc-dev

How to enable this feature:

  • After importing the class in the target namespace, run the following method to set up the working directory:
NS>do ##class(dev.code).workdir("/path/to/your/working/directory/src/")
  • Go to Management Portal -> System Administration -> Configuration -> Additional Settings -> Source Control.
  • Select the target namespace and set the dev.FileManExtension class as the main one and save it.
  • Try to create a new class in the studio and save/compile it
  • Enjoy!

Question Jordan Simpson · Jun 23, 2023

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out why I'm unable to iterate through a dynamic array and access the nested objects.

Using the NHS PDS FHIR API in the NHS sandbox environment, I'm querying the PDS endpoint using a sample NHS Number to retrieve a patient's demographics. My Business Operation reads the response data and passes it back to my Business Process where I intend on iterating through certain nested objects. The data present in these nested objects will decide what happens next in the process.

In the JSON snippet below, I'm attempting to access the values of code and display.

Question Evgeny Shvarov · Jun 9, 2023

Hi folks!

How can I change the production setting programmatically?

I have a production that is a solution that uses some api-keys, which are the parameters of Business Operations but of course cannot be hard-coded into the source code.

E.g. here is the example of such a production that runs a connection of Telegram and ChatGPT.

And it can be installed as:

zpm "install telegram-gpt"

But now one needs to setup the key manually before using the production, having the following setting:

I'd like to set up it programmatically so one could install it as:

zpm "install telegram-gpt -D Token=sometoken"

How can I make it work?

Question Scott Roth · Jul 6, 2023

I had attempted to create a REST Operation before but did not have success. As I am going through the Tutorials and Documentation everything references REST services, but I have a case where I want to create a REST Operation that makes Epic API calls against Interconnect. I have done SOAP operations before and we currently have one in our Production Namespace, but from what I understand SOAP has the wsdl which defines al the structures and etc, where REST does not. 

So how does one go about creating a REST Operation if Learning Tutorials and Documentation always talks about REST services?
