Object Synchronization is a feature that has been around for a while, since Caché days, but I wanted to explore a bit more how it works. I've always thought that database automatic synchronization is complex by nature but, for some particular scenarios shouldn't be so hard. So I considered a very simple use case (OK, perhaps the typical one, I'm not discovering anything... but if it's common and it works, it's good wink ). You can download from GitHub and compile it into your system, generate sample data and play a bit with

I have a list property that I query from the database to get the values contained in that list using $LISTFROMSTRING() when the list is returned the list values contain a rectangle like character similar to when you copy past something to the Terminal and it has a preceding space .The problem is I need to compare those values to other values and they do not match because of this value I have tried to use $EXTRACT(value,*W) and *P but this is not striping the preceding character how do I get rid of this character any ideas please.

I have an OAuth 2.0 development environment where Caché is serving all three roles as the Authorization Server, Client and Resource Server based on a great 3-part series on OAuth 2.0 by @Daniel Kutac. I have a simple password grant type where an x-www-form-urlencoded body (as described in this post) is sent as a POST to the token endpoint at https://localhost:57773/oauth2/token and a response body with a HTTP Response 200 header is returned. The response body looks something like this.

Hello gentlemen,

here is my question: I would like to delete files one by one (not all at a time because I need to check somethinkg to delete it or not) in a defined folder but how can I handle it?  I have used the extension :

EnsLib.File.PassthroughService

But it only works when a file is moved in my folder. But I want to launch my program everyday (with a planifier) in the purpose to delete file that more that 2 months old.

Question James Hipp · Jul 29, 2019

Hello,

I am struggling to print out the actual property values of the Security.System class.

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

 

I was hoping to be able to print the Authentication Enabled properties of a system from the command line using the Get or GetProperties class method. Currently, however, I am only able to get a return 1 or Invalid Oref error.

 

I would expect one of these to work, but I think I am missing something. Any tips?

%SYS>w ##class(Security.System).Get("AutheEnabled")

1

%SYS>w ##class(Security.System).GetProperties("AutheEnabled")

Announcement Dmitry Maslennikov · Jun 10, 2019

Hi all, I have released the latest version of VSCode extension for ObjectScript already a month ago, and finally a time for the info about this new release.

So, what's new in the release:

What's new in this version

  • added export setting "objectscript.export.addCategory" if enabled uses the previous behaviour, adds category folder to export folder, disabled by default
  • added Server actions menu, by clicking on server info from status bar. Open Management portal, Class Reference and toggle connection.
  • Class Suggestion in ##class, Extends, As, CompileAfter, DependsOn, PropertyClass
  • $SYSTEM suggestion by Classes from %SYSTEM
  • Import and compile folder or file by context menu in File Explorer
  • Server Explorer, now possible to open any other namespace
  • Macros suggestion

For details how it works now, look further.

A SOLID Design in Cache Object

In this session, we will discussing SOLID Principle of Programming and will implement in a example.
I have used Cache Object Programming Language for examples.
We will go step by step to understand the requirement, then what common mistakes we use to do while designing, understanding each principles and then complete design with its implementation via Cache Objects.

Question Sergio Martinez · Aug 6, 2019

Hi,

I have a method that has multiple parameters and is normally used from other classes in ObjectScript. Most of the parameters have default values. Withing the server code that's perfect. In some areas I can call myMethod(,,"sometext") or myMethod(tVariab) and thats fine... I use it as it's required in each place.

But now I want to expose it as a REST service so I need to buld a kind of wrapper.

 Pre-requisite - Basic knowledge of ENSEMBLE and ObjectScript

My both previous sessions were related to OBJECTSCRIPT.
This time, we are going to add a flavour Ensemble/Healthshare,
to be informative and fast.

In this session we are going to discuss about - 
"Informative and Fast WEB API VIA ObjectScript and Ensemble/HealthShare"

Web API can be REST or SOAP. We will taking example of SOAP in this session.
However, whatever I demonstrate today, will also be applicable for REST.

In many projects I was faced with storing hierarchical data (tree) in classes.
By tree, I mean such data, where each node has a parent node — an object of the same class.
Many examples of such data can be given. For example, a catalog in the online store. Suppose that this online store sells books, in this case, the category tree might look like this:

 

The number in front of the name is the category ID.
For storage, you can create classes:

The MyApp.Category class  is used to store the category tree and contains the property “Parent” - reference to the same class.

In this article we are going to compare $Increment and $Sequence functions.

First of all, a note for readers who have never heard of $Increment. $Increment is a Caché ObjectScript function which performs an atomic operation to increment its argument by 1 and return the resulting value. You can only pass a global or local variable node as a parameter to $Increment, not an arbitrary expression. $Increment is heavily used when assigning sequential IDs. In such cases parameter of $Increment is usually a global node. $Increment guarantees that each process using it gets a unique ID.

Question James Hipp · Jul 29, 2019

Hello,

Is it possible to write global output values to STDOUT, in a similar way to how csession can take routine intput, like below:

 

(In Cache Terminal)

%SYS>d ##class(%SYSTEM.License).ShowSummary()

 

License Server summary view of active key.

 

     Distributed license use:

Current License Units Used =        1

Maximum License Units Used =        1

License Units   Authorized =      200

 

     Local license use:

Current Connections =      1  Maximum Connections =      1

Current Users       =      1  Maximum Users       =      2

 

(From Linux OS Terminal)

[jhipp@test-sbox ~]# csession TEST "##class(%SYSTEM.

Hello Community,

How do i disable an operation explicitly based on a value in a variable?

I set the ReplyCodeAction to E=D.

In the Operation Code i am throwing an explicit ERROR

THROW ##class(%Exception.General).%New("Shutting Down Operation",999,,"My own special exception")

But my operation still remains up.

Any suggestions please will be appreciated.

Thanks,

I'm not saying that this is in anyway "best practices," but I'm in a peculiar situation where I need to restrict users from starting a "retired" Ensemble Production in a namespace that's been renamed. It's still an "Ensemble-activated" namespace; we need to keep it available for Ensemble Message Viewer access ... fortunately, only for a little while.

It's a bit of a hack ...

Open the Production class in Studio and add the following classmethod:

ClassMethod OnStart() As %Status
{
    Return $system.Status.

Hello community! I have to work with queries using all kinds of methods like embedded sql and class queries. But my favorite is dynamic sql, simply because of how easy it is to manipulate them at runtime. The downside to writing a lot of these is the maintenance of the code and interacting with the output in a meaningful way. In an effort to have as much dynamism as possible so that we're not rewriting code constantly, and so that we have as little code possible (while still making sense and getting the job done), I made a function that takes in any dynamic query and outputs a dynamic object.

Question Kurro Lopez · May 16, 2019

Hi all,

I have a class that I want to serialize to JSon. So I'm using the object %ZEN.Auxiliary.jsonProvider)

set myClass = ##class(myapp.myclass).%New()

set myClass.property1 ="value 1"

set myClass.property2 = "value 2"

set myClass.property3 = "value 3"

do ##class(%ZEN.Auxiliary.jsonProvider).%WriteJSONStreamFromObject(.tStream,myClass ,,,1,"ed")

write tStream.Read()

By definition of myclass, all properties are serialized, that's fine. But I want not serialize the property3. I think is using a XML attribute in the property, or something about. But I didn't find anything about.

Question ED Coder · Jul 16, 2019

Hi, I am trying to transform a message to meet a third party specification, and would like to know if you can advice me on how to separate a single OBX segment into several segments based on a '.'

I would like to separate the segment where the . [marked in red] is into another OBX segment. So the next segment would be:

OBX|2|TX|R^REPORT^L|1|Patient had lumbar spine MRI ~ Patient also had barium swallow ~ Patient has good alignment 99%perfect ~ Patient has aspiration visible

Is there a way to do that?

Would appreciate your advice on this

Regards,

Eric

Question Richard Rayburn · Jul 11, 2019

All,

I'm using Cache 2014.1 in an openVMS environment.

If I have multiple RMS files to clean up, for example.

!DIR MEMBER_EXTRACT.*;*

MEMBER_EXTRACT.CSV;2                    MEMBER_EXTRACT.CSV;1
MEMBER_EXTRACT.PROC;1                   MEMBER_EXTRACT.TXT;3
MEMBER_EXTRACT.TXT;2                    MEMBER_EXTRACT.TXT;1

S FILE="MEMBER_EXTRACT.*;*"

Do ##class(%Library.File).ComplexDelete(FILE)

!DIR MEMBER_EXTRACT.*;*
 
MEMBER_EXTRACT.CSV;1                    MEMBER_EXTRACT.TXT;2
MEMBER_EXTRACT.TXT;1
 
Total of 3 files.

What would be the best way to delete all the files using the ComplexDelete class
