Question Stephen Wilson · Feb 4, 2020

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.

Question James Hipp · Aug 7, 2019

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()

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.

Question Blaise ZARKA · Dec 19, 2019

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

Question Jonathan Anglin · Jan 28, 2020

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 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!

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.

Hi Developers!

Often when we install a code package we want to make some post-install settings, e.g. call to a method, set up a configuration file.

This article describes how to do this with the ObjectScript Package Manager.

To make any post-install calls you need to add <Invoke> elements into <Invokes> tag to the module.xml. Each <Invoke> element can have nested <Arg> elements if you want to pass params to the method:

<Invokes>

<Invoke Class="Class.Name1" Method="MethodName1">

<Arg>Sting Value</Arg>

<Arg>123</Arg>
</Invoke>

</Invkoes>

Here is an example module.

I am working on a BPL to take data from a MS SQL database and create an HL7 Materials Message for our EMR.  I have done this plenty of times in the past however I am running into an error.

"Remote Gateway Error: JDBC Gateway SP execute(0) error 0: Access to the remote server is denied because no login-mapping exists."

What is confusing is that this BPL doesn't differ from any of my other BPLs in connecting to MS SQL Server. I know I am missing something..

This BPL will execute the 1st Stored Procedure without any issues, the issue is when it comes to executing the second stored

Question Jorge de la Garza · Jan 9, 2020

I have an array of table names that I want to iterate over and for each table, get the number of rows.  I was hoping I could do something like:

set tStatement = ##class(%SQL.Statement).%New()
set tSC = tStatement.%Prepare("SELECT COUNT(*) AS ObservedRowCount FROM ?")
$$$ThrowOnError(tSC)
set tTableName = ""
for
{
  set tTableName = $O(tCounterAry(tTableName))
  quit:tTableName=""
   set tResult = tStatement.%Execute(tTableName)
  // ...
}

But that doesn't work:

Have you ever needed a math function but could not find what you needed and ended up writing your own? Look no further! ObjectScript-Math is here to solve all your math related function needs.

ObjectScript-Math is an Open Source library for ObjectScript Math functions. It is now available on Open Exchange. This library contains a mix of new functions that are not currently available and functions that are available. The existing functions will be wrapped for use from ObjectScript-Math so that all Math functions can have a central location.

This library will continue to grow, so give it a try and give your feedback!

Don't see what you are looking for? Please feel free to submit requests for additional functions or contribute code yourself!

Question Scott Roth · Dec 20, 2019

I have a case where I have an external table that lives out in MS SQL. Using Ensemble Security functions has anyone created a csp or cls page that acts like a portal to allow users to Update a multidimensional table without knowing SQL? I could clone the EnsPortal.LookupSettings but that was made for LUT which are only 2 columns.

 

 

I know its a long shot but trying to see if there was anything off the shelf that I can use to help meet the requirements of this project.

Question Jude Mukkadayil · Dec 11, 2019

Hi,

     I have written a procedure with the help of object scripting to export data to a csv file. There is more data than  the csv limit.

Can anyone please tell me how to get the row count of csv file using object scripting, so that I can write an if condition and write to a second csv file.

Please find the code writing to the csv given below.

while (ind '= ""){
set row = ^CacheTemp(repid,"MAIN",ind)
use filemain write row,!
; Get next row index for MAIN report
set ind = $order(^CacheTemp(repid,"MAIN",ind))
} close filemain
}

 

 

Thanks
