#ObjectScript

Hi, folks!

Suppose I have a CSP app, which provides some service.

And the code of my App knows the name of the CSP App in form: /myappname

How can I programmatically obtain the URL for CSP apps to send the full qualified link to the users(e.g. via email) of my app?

E.g. https://productionserver.com/myappname

In this article I would like to tell you about macros in InterSystems Caché. A macro is a symbolic name that is replaced with a set of instructions during compilation. A macro can “unfold” in various instruction sets each time it is called, depending on the parameters passed to it and activated scenarios. This can be both static code and the result of ObjectScript execution. Let's take a look at how you can use them in your application.

What is a major difference between $case and $select?

Hi,

I have a situation where I write a character stream to a file. The file content gets signed and the signature is sent to a service provider together with the file content.

The signing is done using openssl.

This works perfectly on a dev PC, which is runnning Windows and has a little-endian architecture.

The problem is as soon as I do this on the server, which has a big-endian architecture, the signed value is incorrect according to the service provider.

The content is signed using RSA SHA256 with PSS padding.

I've had a look at $nconvert, $sconvert, etc., but can't get to a solution.

Is there a w

It is my understanding that when a routine accesses a global it is temporarily stored in global memory. While the global is within global memory, any other routine would be able to readily access the global from memory and not from disk so long as the same node is being utilized.

For example, RoutineB() would be able to access ^Global(1) and ^Global(1,2) since RoutineA() utilized them, but RoutineB() would have to read ^Global(1,7) from disk as it was not utilized by RoutineA().

For my own sanity, I wanted to reach out and obtain clarification from the community as I have recently begun to doubt

Hi everyone

Is there any way to change a class definition (especifically a query definition during the compilation time)?
The idea is: 
    I have an abstract class with a parameter where I will define the ROWSPEC of a query and some methods to populate e temporary table
The implementation class will override the parameter, specifying the ROWSPEC of this implementation, and the methods will populate the rows in the same format as the ROWSPEC.

I want to change the ROWSPEC of the inherit query according to the implementation of the overriden parameter.
What I've already tried to change the parameter d

I am working with Caché Relationships.

I know how to iterate through the One side of the relationship and for each One iterate through all the various Manys.

What I have been trying to figure out, is the code (I can put into a Class) that will start at the top of the Manys, iterate down and for each of the Manys, pull the associated One.

I can do this with SQL or Globals, but I want to use only Class type code.

Is that clear? Any help?

Quotes (1NF/2NF/3NF)^ru:

Every row-and-column intersection contains exactly one value from the applicable domain (and nothing else). The same value can be atomic or non-atomic depending on the purpose of this value. For example, “4286” can be

• atomic, if its denotes “a credit card’s PIN code” (if it’s broken down or reshuffled, it is of no use any longer)
• non-atomic, if it’s just a “sequence of numbers” (the value still makes sense if broken down into several parts or reshuffled)

This article explores the standard methods of increasing the performance of SQL queries involving the following types of fields: string, date, simple list (in the $LB format), "list of <...>" and "array of <...>".

Caché offers a number of methods for going through a collection and doing something with its elements. The easiest method uses a while-loop and lets you fulfill the task in an imperative manner. The developer needs to take care of the iterator, jumping to the next element and checking if the loop is within the collection.

 But is it really what a developer should be concerned with?! A developer should be working on solving the problem at hand – quickly and producing code of the highest quality. It would be great to be able to just take a collection and apply a function to it that will perform t

Good day, I have this issue. I have global like: ^myglobal(varX) = $LB(var1,var2). I need to delete all globals that have variable var1 in that list same without a need to iterate through all globals and checking their value.

Exact example:

- in database exist following:

^myglobal("Marek") = $LB("code2",1400)
^myglobal("Ondrej") = $LB("code1",12)
^myglobal("Nikita") = $LB("code2",32)
^myglobal("Evgeny") = $LB("code1",76)
^myglobal("Maks") = $LB("code2",99)
^myglobal("Eduard") = $LB("code1",14)
Now! How to delete all globals that have in list in the first place value "code2" please? It doesn't hav

Good day, I would like to find out the size of Caché ObjectScript variable in order to guarantee that my program will not leak, equally in terminal and Caché globals.  For example how huge number I can store in that variable ? And what happen in Caché when variable will leak ? How is this behavior treated? (how much memory is reserved for common variable?)

Thanks  in advance for your answers.

Sometimes, it comes in very handy (especially for the EAV model) to use array properties in a class and be able to qickly search by their elements: both the key and the value.

Let’s take a look at a simple example:

This post is also available on Habrahabr^ru.

The post was inspired by this Habrahabr article: Interval-associative array^ru→en.

Since the original implementation relies on Python slices, the Caché public may find the following article useful: Everything you wanted to know about slices^ru→en.

Note: Please note that the exact functional equivalent of Python slices has never been implemented in Caché, since this functionality has never been required.

All right, let’s cut to the chase and take a look at some examples.

This discussion is open to anyone who use or know about WebTerminal project. It is a result of a long story of the project development, testing and maintaining.

While WebTerminal greatly improves user experience by enhancing standard terminal with additional features, there are numerous issues (#77, #92, #81, #87 and others) showing that it performs not as expected in some cases, and does not support some very basic things (like $ZA/$ZB variables). The reason is in fact that WebTerminal project tries to reimplement Caché TERM behavior over Caché ObjectSc

Class documentation:

class %Exception.General extends AbstractException

Simple exception class that can be throw in user code. You can throw this with code similar to:

	Throw ##class(%Exception.General).%New(name,numericCode,location,data)

The name is a string name for the exception, the numericCode is a numeric error code. If the location field is blank and $$$envCallerErrorInfo is defined then the system will attempt to fill in this location where the exception was thrown from automatically. You can pass additional exception data in the data argument.

Does any boding knows how

Here's my issue. I've been using Sample.* globals and packages mapped to another development namespace to realize unit tests. So when I ran it, I notice that I forgot to start a transaction in order to be able rollback it to it's original data.
I assumed that I should use transactions since I was manipulating it's data but I didn't want it to be persisted.

Now I've lost all their default data. That's ok, or so I though... since I supposedly should run %Populate on the Sample.Company to have all data back (their integrity regarding the lost ones isn't relevant). However I notice that even though

I have a case where I am creating a PDF file from an Encoded String, and I need to transfer this file over to another server. I was wondering since this is PDF file if I could just invoke the FTP.OutboundAdapter within my Object script that is creating the PDF from the encoded string. Is this possible? Does anyone have an examples of using EnsLib.FTP.OutboundAdpater within their Object Script?

Thanks

Hello experts,

I’m working on an "Sort After" (]]) bug that I traced back to some weird behavior in ObjectScript.  Perhaps someone can enlighten me…

The problem is as follows:

Let’s say we have:

Set A = “1.0”
Set B = “2.2”

If you execute the command ‘Sort After’ (]]), you get the following:

W A]]B
​1

…Which is wrong, A does NOT sort after B.  The output should be 0.

If you set A and B to numeric values, it correctly outputs false (0):

set A = 1.0
set B = 2.2
​W A]]B

0

I dug for a bit, and came up with this:   If you set  a numeric string to “<number>.0” an write the

The Cogs.JsonClass library is now available in the Cogs project on GitHub.

https://github.com/SeanConnelly/Cogs

Please see the README and the /docs folder on how to use the class.

Overview

The Cogs.JsonClass class provides a one step serialisation and deserialisation to and from Caché registered and persistent classes. It is not dependent on any other code and should be compatible with older versions of Caché.

The unit tests have been included in the update, but until I release the dependent Touchstone unit test solution it won't be possible to run these tests.

Please report any issues on the GitHub

Hello everyone,

I'm doing a REST service for integration between 2 systems. The system that invokes me expects a response object where only one of its attributes changes. It could be something like this:

Class ResponseCustomer  {
    Property Code As %String;
    Property Info As Customer;
}

Class ResponseAppointment {
    Property Code As %String;
    Property Info As Appointment;
}

Class ResponseCancellation  {
​    Property Code As %String;
    Property Info As %String;
}

To avoid creating almost identical objects for each of the methods of my REST service, I had thought to

I need to guarantee that a parent AND child rows has been inserted successfully before any other process is able to read ANY of the data.

What is the proper way to prevent DIRTY reads?  Per the InterSystems's documentation I should be able to use 'START TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ COMMITTED'.  I have attempted to use these commands in embedded and dynamic SQL calls to no avail.

I have to be able to insert the data via JDBC calls, but legacy Caché (.MAC) may be reading the data, and if the data is read to quickly, I could have processing errors, as all the child rows have not been inser

I thought REST services is accessing confidential data, so we should follow the authenication rules?

Hi!

I'm saving object instance using RestForms.

RESTFormsUI calls %Save() for me, which is great. But I want to set the property CreationDate with the current date for every new record being inserted.

So  object callback implementation seems as a reasonable option. I did the following:

Method %OnBeforeSave(insert as %Boolean) As %Status [ Private, ServerOnly = 1 ] 
{

 if insert s ..CreationDate=$H

 q $$$OK

}

And it works fine.

But Documentation says I'd better use %OnAddToSaveSet()

What are you using for the callbacks in similar cases?

Hi, colleagues!

When you export the Caché ObjectScript code to VCS (Git, SVN, Perforce, etc) do you export the Storage schema for persistent classes?  If so, what are the Pro/Contra?

Thanks!

Hi -

In Management Portal I can view Processes and their details.

I have a long running job and would like to set the  "Client Application Details" -> "Info" indicator in my code so that I can monitor the process.

Does anyone know how I can set that string in my COS code?

TIA

which queries can search for text containing words of interest in Cache?

This is a translation of the following article. Thanks @Evgeny Shvarov  for the help in translation.

Let's assume that you wrote a program that shows "Hello World!", for example:

  write "Hello, World!"

The program works and everyone is happy.

With time, however, your program becomes more complex, gets more features and you eventually need to show the same string in different languages. Moreover you don't know the number and names of these languages.

The spoiler below contains a description of how the task of multi-language localization is solved in Caché.
