#ObjectScript

Our company is in the process of converting our software for use in Intersystems IRIS and one of the major sections of the software makes use of a custom statically-linked C library using the $ZF("function-name") functionality. During this, I found out that the process for setting up the C library to be used within the database platform has changed significantly between Cache and IRIS.

Hi developers!

Just want to check with you on best practices for that.

You collaborate for InterSystems IRIS repository. You fork it, then make changes, commit, push, pull request, discuss(if any), your PR is accepted.

What's next? 

Do you delete the repository you forked in?

   try{
        ....
        ....
        ....

        Set tSC = method_invocation()

        If $$$ISERR(tSC) {
            Quit tSC
        }

        ....
        ....
        ....

}

On compiling the above, I get an error saying "QUIT argument not allowed : 'tSC' ".

• When I replace Quit tSC with Return tSC, it compiles
• On replacing Quit tSC with Quit $$$OK, I get the error: QUIT argument not allowed : '1'
• On replacing Quit tSC with Quit, it compiles

I need to convert an array with an unknown number of indices to a JSON string for transmission (which is why it isn't possible to iterate through it using $ORDER). Does ObjectScript provide functionality to convert an array to a JSON string?

Hello,

We have the following code:

Method incorporarDocumento(request As EsquemasDatos.incorporarDocumentoRequest(REQUIRED=1)) As EsquemasDatos.documentoIncorporado(XMLNAME="return") [ Final, ProcedureBlock = 1, SoapBindingStyle = document, SoapBodyUse = literal, WebMethod ]
{
set ..MTOMRequired = 1 set ..SecurityOut.actor = "http://www.gobiernodecanarias.org/Platino/Authentication/1.0"
    set ..SecurityOut.mustUnderstand = "1"
    set ..SecurityNamespace = "http://docs.oasis-open.

In a HTTP operation, which extends Ens.BusinessOperation, EnsLib.REST.Operation, one can read the component's AlertGroups property by simply referring to it with "..":

set AlertGroup =  ..AlertGroups
//Do something with AlertGroup

"AlertGroups" is a property of Ens.Host. The above however does not work in a business process which Extends Ens.BusinessProcessBPL which extends Ens.BusinessProcess which extends Ens.Host. 

First,

Forgive me if this is a rather low-level question - I am a physician informaticist who is learning cache/mumps for the first time. I am sure this probably relates to some setting but I can't find a similar issue anywhere.

When I create a list, and then try and return that list - I get a bunch of symbols back along with my results, or sometimes I just get symbols. 

I pasted a screenshot below.  Thank is advance for the help!

Hi Developers!

Another way to start using InterSystems ObjectScript Package Manager is to use prebuilt container images of InterSystems IRIS Community Edition and InterSystems IRIS for Health Community Edition.

We deploy this IRIS images on DockerHub and you can run it with the following command:

docker run --rm -p 52773:52773 --init --name my-iris -d intersystemsdc/iris-community:2019.4.0.383.0-zpm

Launch a terminal with:

docker exec -it my-iris iris session IRIS

And install zpm-module as:

USER>zpm 

zpm: USER>install objectscript-math

[objectscript-math] Reload START

[objectscript-math] Reload SUCCESS

[objectscript-math] Module object refreshed.

[objectscript-math] Validate START

[objectscript-math] Validate SUCCESS

[objectscript-math] Compile START

[objectscript-math] Compile SUCCESS

[objectscript-math] Activate START

[objectscript-math] Configure START

[objectscript-math] Configure SUCCESS

[objectscript-math] Activate SUCCESS

zpm: USER>

And use same commands for InterSystems IRIS for Health using the tag: intersystemsdc/irishealth-community:2019.4.0.383.0-zpm

The images are being published on IRIS Community Edition and IRIS Community Edition for Health repositories of Docker Hub.

We will update tags with every new release of IRIS and ZPM.

Happy coding!

Hello,

We would like to get the XML which is being given by the requested system, directly to our Service output.

We have tried to just output directly the Message Response as follows:

Method findCandidatesXML(mensEntrada As %XML.GlobalCharacterStream(CONTENT="MIXED")) As Mensajes.Response.GestionPacientes.operacionResponse(XMLNAME="mensSalida") [ Final, ProcedureBlock = 1, SoapAction = "http://SCS.

Hello,

We would like to store a list into a global. The need is to get the full Web Service's Response Message, because of currently, our Operation sends the message to the Process, whith an empty list:

We have created a copyList which is a clone of the list which is being returned from the web service client:

set copyList = ##class(%ListOfObjects).%New()
 set copyList = pResponse.RSPK21QUERYRESPONSE.%ConstructClone(1)
 $$$LOGINFO("copyList: "_copyList)
 $$$LOGINFO("copyList count: "_copyList.Count())
 $$$LOGINFO("copyList.GetAt(1): "_copyList.GetAt(1))
 $$$LOGINFO("copyList.PID8: "_copyList.

How can I get the current date and time in the destination file when I'm using Stream.CopyFrom because Stream.CopyFrom preserves the date and time of the source file.

I am looking to run some analysis on existing software to quickly identify global variable references. Ideally you would feed in a "starting routine" and after going through all referenced routines you would end up with a finite set of global variables. So the primary purpose is to take say 10,000 lines of code and map out the referenced global structures without relying on a programmers eye. I found the post on Object Script equivalent to Studio "Find in Files" interesting but the downside is that output is too verbose and would require parsing to extract the global structures. How would you override writing to the terminal so that you could parse the data?

I'm looking into finding ways to  fetch data from cache efficiently and work with it with python - specially pandas.

i tried the following but i'm wondering if this is the most efficient way?

to run the stored procedure as %ResultSet inside cache in a classmethod and serialize the data to JSON

and then call that class method from python

 Class User.RegObj Extends %RegisteredObject
{ ClassMethod runAlpha() As %Library.DynamicAbstractObject
{
set QHi=##class(%DynamicAbstractObject).%FromJSON("{}") set rs=##class(%ResultSet).%New("User.Person:alpha")
set pr=rs.Execute("","") set idx=0 
while rs.

Hello,

We would like to submit a JSON using Ensemble. Here we have the JSON structure:

Hello,

I am wondering the best way to disable a user account using this class in Cache (Security.Users).

https://cedocs.intersystems.com/latest/csp/documatic/%25CSP.Documatic.c…

Example User Account = jhipp

Currently is Enabled

I know that we can use the auto-generated EnabledGetStored method, for example:

%SYS> w ##class(Security.Users).EnabledGetStored("jhipp")
1

There is not an auto-generated method to set this property, right?

I can modify this property with the Modify function, but I have to build a temp array with one value etc.

When do implicit assumptions in code and arithmetic operators pose a real danger, and how can this danger be overcome?

If you assign dimensionless numbers to physical parameters in your code, you risk misunderstandings and errors when calculating and converting between units of measurement.

Hello,

I would like to change signature's algorithm to be sha1.

I share the current code:

(BINARY SECURITY TOKEN and USERNAME TOKEN CODE omitted)

//SIGNATURE TOKEN
    set signSha1=##class(%XML.Security.Signature).%New()
    do signSha1.SetSignatureMethod($$$SOAPWSrsasha1)
    //..SetSignatureMethod($$$SOAPWSrsasha1)
    //$method(signSha1,"SetSignatureMethod",$$$SOAPWSrsasha1)
    //signSha1.SetSignatureMethod($$$SOAPWSrsasha1)
   set sig=signSha1.CreateX509(cert)

I have tried to use SetSignatureMethod, however in the Message Viewer we see:

I am trying to get a list of all settings for all the config items of a given production using SQL . When I run the following sql as a dynamic query I am unable to access the setting names and values. Settings is a list of Ens.Config.Setting

Set query="Select Name, Production, Settings,$ListLength(Settings) "
         _"As Count from Ens_Config.Item "

Set rc=##class(%ResultSet).%New()

Set sc=rc.Prepare(query)

Set sc=rc.%Execute

While rc.Next(.sc) {

For i=1:1:Count {

  Set tSetting=$List(Setting,i)

  Set name=tSetting.Name

}

I get a LIST error on the last line!

Hello,

I am working on Ensemble 2017.2.1 .
I need to export my security settings into an extern database, in order to make a report.

I've created a Business Operation with an SQL Adapter into a Namespace, but I don't know how to get every security data from "%SYS" Namespace  ( SQLPrivileges , Resources , Roles , Services , Users ... ).

I dont't want to use the terminal and the ^SECURITY routine, because i don't want to store a XML file on the server.

I tried to create a method where I can use the (Security.

Hi,

On a persistent class, I have defined an %OnNew method that validate some properties with appropriate status code for each kind of error. Question is: how do you catch the specific error when %New is called on this class?

Surrounding %New method with a try-catch not seems to work.

Thanks

I'm trying to tie IRIS (2019.1) into our Concord Fax cloud-based email-to-fax workflow. We have some sites that require a fax be sent to multiple locations based upon certain data (ie Radiology and Emergency departments). Unfortunately, CC-ing does not work with Concord Fax so I need a way to send the email, change the recipient, and then send it again if certain criteria are met. Is this possible? Do I need to duplicate and rename the method, calling the second one in the MessageMap?

Hello everybody,

My question would be, how is the recommended way to access Windows shares, also in view of future demads. Of course, I'm also happy about an explanation or code snippet of how the library, which is mentioned in the following , can be used under cache.

The classic jcifs library is easy to use, also with Cache, but as microsoft ceases support for smb1, we are currently looking for alternatives. jcifs-ng is such a library, which we took a closer look at. In java code a jcifs-ng file operation looks like this:

Hi,

I'm attempting to use the $EXTRACT function in my routing rule but I'm seeing 'Expression Parsing' error messages when trying to save the rule.

I want to check the last character of a post code by using the following code:

Could anyone assist with this?

Hi Community!

New "Coding Talk" video is already on InterSystems Developers YouTube:

⏯ How to Install and Use ObjectScript Package Manager with InterSystems IRIS

Do you ever have the desire to optimize your code as much as possible?
Do you have any cases where every nanosecond matters?
Do you use If statements?

This quick tip can help your code run slightly faster with no additional code.

Hi Developers!

Many of you are looking for samples on how to work with InterSystems IRIS Analytics, formerly known as DeepSee.

There is a Samples BI module with Patients and Holefoods examples which is available on Github with source code. The installation steps are clear but take time. 

Recently we added the option to run IRIS Community Edition containers with ObjectScript Package Manager (ZPM) on board. This simplifies the installation to the "run-one-command" step for the modules submitted to ZPM Community Registry. And thus we can benefit the Samples BI installation with ZPM.

And here is how you can run it on your laptop.  Let's go!

Happy new year! I’m Raj Singh, InterSystems’ product manager for Developer Experience and  I’d love your feedback on how you use IDEs today and your thoughts for the future.

We understand you depend on a solid, intuitive and flexible IDE from InterSystems - whether you are an ObjectScript expert or new to it; whether ObjectScript is at the core of your applications, or you develop more in Java, Python, C# or Node.js.

This is a lesson learned, which I would like to share with community.  

Recently I ran into an issue, where I was using %ConstructClone and it kept cloning extra records, which were not needed.  The record for which I was trying to run a clone had many-to-one relationships.  

The solution to this issue was using param -1.  If you run %ConstructClone(-1) it will not clone relationships, but rather just clone single oref as desired in this case.

I hope this information helps someone who is working with similar records.
