#ObjectScript

Curious if there is a string function which can transform a delimited string into an array without looping through $Piece...such as "a,b,c,d,e,f" into array(0)=5,array(1)="a",array(2)="b" etc

Hey developers,

I have great news for you. A few days ago, GitHub was updated with the latest version of linguist project, which is being used to recognize source code types in repositories. It helps to determine which programming language had been used in every file of the repository. Repository statistics section shows the results of this module work.

Also, you can search across all available GitHub repositories for any chosen language. 

Say you have a DICOM document with an input information sequence with many sequence items. You could access every item one by one by looping and querying the path by passing it to the GetValueAt method as demonsrated below.

This works but there are some performance issues on my system if the document has to  be read for each query (as far as I know, that is the case on my system). Is there a way of querying a path, which would return the sequence items as an array? I think I am missing something. With 900 items the process takes around 20 seconds currently.

Hi Community!

I have very good news for the developers, who are using GitHub to host projects with InterSystems ObjectScript.  GitHub introduced the support of InterSystems ObjectScript this week!

How does it work?

Now all the .cls files in your repository are considered as InterSystems ObjectScript and highlighted according to the language rules of ObjectScript. For example WebTerminal, Samples-Data.

During testing your code you are often confronted with the need to examine
the actual content of an object. Either using ZWRITE or $system.OBJ.Dump()
you get a picture of simple properties as "--- attribute values ---"
while "--- swizzled references ---" are more confusing than informative
and with "--- calculated references ---" you are just left in the lurch.

This small helper class allows you to dump an object to terminal or
e.g in background to some stream for later review.
By default, you see just properties with content,

   DO ##class(Z.obj).

I have a custom process that is parsing HL7 and inserting it into a table. Periodically the inserts fail with # due to error: ERROR #5803: Failed to acquire exclusive lock on instance of.... 

Traditional databases would wait until the lock is removed then do the insert, but cache fails. I'm sure it's my coding approach.

How can I work around this? A Try/Catch loop?

Thanks in advance.

I have one persistent, xml-enabled class.
I need to convert objects of this class to XML.
However I need to project each object in different ways (depending on
where I send it), for example:

• Different list of attributes are projected
• Attributes have different names
• ...

Is there a way to do that with XML Adaptor?

Hello,

I assume there is a simple explanation for this, but I do get <OBJECT DISPATCH> error, when I am trying to set a global to a value.

My example is huge, but I reproduced it using Samples namespace:  

First I delete the Title from ##class(Cinema.Film)  - 3 

Secondly:

SAMPLES>s ref=##class(Cinema.Film).%OpenId(3)
SAMPLES>w ref.Title

SAMPLES>set ^AK(1)=$G(ref.Title)

SET ^AK(1)=$G(ref.Title)
^
<OBJECT DISPATCH> *Property 'Title' in class 'Cinema.Film' must be MultiDimensional

$D also does not work, same error, however this works fine: if ref.Title S ^AK(1)=ref.

Hello,

I want to search a process ID in Object Script using the reference variable e.g. 1119102928 and kill that process ID. Please guide how it can be achieved.

Thanks in advance.

PHP, from the beginning of its time, is renowned (and criticized) for supporting integration with a lot of libraries, as well as with almost all the DB existing on the market. However, for some mysterious reasons, it did not support hierarchical databases on the globals.

Globals are structures for storing hierarchical information. They are somewhat similar to key-value database with the only difference being that the key can be multi-level:

Hi, 

The app of the week is the 'ObjectScript Visual Editor'. 

It looks interesting but the GitHub ownload link[1] given on the InterSystems ObjectScript Visual Editor Open Exchange page[2] fails. 

[1] https://github.com/intersystems-ru/objectscript-visual-editor/releases

Does anyone know the github url for download?

I have a class defined like this:

Class test.ABC Extends %RegisteredObject   {

Property myProp As %Binary [ Internal, Private ];

}

Is there a way to get a value of myProp from outside of the object?

I can't modify or extend the class obviously.

We have a business service that extends  Ens.BusinessService and uses   EnsLib.File.InboundAdapter.

This service polls for json files in a folder.

Method signature is like this:

Method OnProcessInput(pInput As %FileCharacterStream, pOutput As %RegisteredObject) As %Status

And inside that method it tries to read the content like this:

set tData = pInput.ReadLine(,.tStatus, .tEOL)
if ($$$ISERR(tStatus)) quit
set tJSON = {}.%FromJSON(tData)
 

I added some trace calls before and after lines and noticed it's always that last line that fails if content is larger than 32kb.

Any workaround for this?

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone had got this working.

In the documentation it says to set the username and password properties of the connection object but these properties don't exist and without authentication I can't connect to the MQ queue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Hey Community!

First, my $ZVERSION:

Cache for OpenVMS/ALPHA V7.x (Alpha) 2010.1.6 (Build 952_2 + Adhoc 17754) 3-JAN-2018 14:32:54.07

Second, my issue:

I believe my current villain is “incremental compiling.” I was able to compare early compile output with later compile output:

Compilation started on 04/10/2019 10:46:32 with qualifiers 'cuk' Compiling class UnitTests.Task3496 incremental compile detected Compiling routine UnitTests.Task3496.2 Compilation finished successfully in 0.800s.

Have some free text fields in your application that you wish you could search efficiently?  Tried using some methods before but found out that they just cannot match the performance needs of your customers?  Do I have one weird trick that will solve all your problems?  Don’t you already know!?  All I do is bring great solutions to your performance pitfalls!

As usual, if you want the TL;DR (too long; didn’t read) version, skip to the end.  Just know you are hurting my feelings.

Hi! I've been fiddling with linked tables to get data from other servers, and I encountered a problem that I'm curious about. Maybe I'm not using these tools as intended or there's more going on, so I'm asking here.

I'm running a query on linked table A, something simple like this:

select name from A where id = 5983658923646

And I get this error:

[SQLCODE: <-400>:<Fatal error occurred>]

  [%msg: <>]

If id, or anything comparison, is something smaller like 4345, it works just fine. It's only when the where reaches a certain length, not just id, that it fails.

Hi!

I was trying to create a query that can be exposed as a stored procedure (function actually) that would return a resultset with a random number of columns. 

Unfortunately, it seems that unless I specify the ROWSPEC annotation on the Query method, I won't get any columns exposed. I was hoping to implement QueryNameGetInfo method and specify the names and number of columns I would be returning dynamically. But it seems that GetInfo information is simply ignored.

Here is my code:

Class Test.

Hi Community!

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

Create Your First InterSystems ObjectScript Code with IRIS Community, Github, Docker and VSCode

Well, we now have two different platforms Caché and IRIS. With so many changes, that it makes so many difficulties to have the same sources for both platforms. I'm not arguing about the reasons for it. Some of the changes are really reasonable.

It's good when I can import code from Caché to IRIS and get it worked after all background job was done. In Caché we have %CacheStorage type used for Storages. In IRIS it automatically converts to %Storage.Persistent. So, If I develop on IRIS, I will have incompatible sources for Caché.

So, it is one of the problems, and I expect more.

Hi There

I created function to manage string as requirement  extract the first two letter of each word after space for example:

Text = "Review symptoms to report with patient"

After passed function it will be return "Resytorewipa"

ChangeFormat(desc)

   set desc = "Review symptoms to report with patient"
   q:$g(desc)=""
   SET delim=" "
   SET countdown=$LENGTH(desc,delim)
   set i =1
   for
    {
        q:i>countdown
         set abbrv = $e($PIECE(desc,delim,i),1,2)   // But if I put w abbrv  I can get "Resytorewipa"
         set i = i+1     
    }
   w abbrv

However, at the end I got only  abbrv=''pa"  how to get data as requirement.

I am still new to cache objectscript and am trying to figure out how I would go about removing the escape characters from my JSON below. When I call the $toJSON method it's adding the "\" character in the file path.

{"FileStatus":"P","Path":"\/somepath\/test\/test123\/filename.txt","InterchangeOID":"100458"}

My Code:

set tJSONFile = {"FileStatus":pRequest.FileStatus,"Path":pRequest.Path,"InterchangeOID":pRequest.InterchangeOID}

set tJSONFile = tJSONFile.$toJSON()

Thanks.

I have a need to dynamically create a web application definition in a namespace using ObjectScript.  I am having trouble finding a cache class or routine that let's me do this. 

Thanks

Hi All,

I need to transfer the sub-directories and their contents from a SFTP server to a shared directory while maintaining the structure.

I can do it without maintaining the structure.

Best Regards.

Michel.

P.-S. : files are HL7 messages.

I've tried this:

        s status=msg.AttachFile("F:\MyDir","myFirstFile.pdf",1,.count)

        s status=msg.AttachFile("F:\MyDir","mySecondFile.pdf",1,.count)

But it's not working at all...

Thank you in advance!

Terminal scripts can be used to run pre-designed commands on the terminal, like a batch file.  You can write anything that can be executed on terminal, like for loop, if else and so on,  inside Terminal scripts. In this article, I will show you how to call Terminal scripts, how to use parameters in Terminal scripts and how to avoid session disconnected when running Terminal scripts. If you have any information about how to use Terminal scripts or you have any feedback, please feel free to leave a comment.
