#ObjectScript

Hello,

we build a COS-application which includes classmethods for running a simulation calculation (differential equations by Runge Kutta procedure) which runs well but needs too much time.  This is embeded in Cache Server Pages and we tried already to start the simulation as a JOB to avoid the CSP-timeout. However the Job needs of course also too much time. May be this could be solved by a different strategy to run the simulation calculation by an external Windows -Programm (developed with Delphi).

Hello, guys.

Say I have two horologs or timestamps, how can I compare them? I know that just time1 > time2 doesn't work because it will compare them as strings which is not correct. 

I have been using the query below and it was working fine but now it's giving a SQL error. There were no changes made that could cause this to stop working. There is no Field 'APPLICATIONID' in the table.

QueueSQL=select distinct (convert(char(5),SkillsetID)+'='+Skillset) from iagentbySkillsetStat where ApplicationID > 10000
QueueMappingSQL=SELECT DISTINCT (convert(char(5),SkillsetID)+'='+Skillset), SkillsetID FROM iagentbySkillsetStat iagentbySkillsetStat WHERE (iagentbySkillsetStat.ApplicationID>10000)

UPDATE: Found a reason in my code why this could be occurring. Still it would be interesting to hear what people come back with.

Consider the following MERGE statement.

I want to use the Regex Matcher to strip HTML tags, but I get a REGEX error. Can anyone explain what I'm doing wrong?

Hello, guys.

I need to find all web files, get their content in UDL format and to be able to export them. And, vice versa, to be able to import them in udl format.

I know that they are located in CSP folder. However, is there any way to do this using COS functions?

Hello community!

Is there any method/property/way in Caché to obtain something like unique identifier for installed Caché system? The idea is to get the identifier that will differ on any other installation/machine/etc, but will forever remain the same for the current installation, even if $zv changes (in case of update) or any data is removed from the database.

Hi -

I have 3 classes: "Class A" has a property X, "Class B" has a property which is a Class A, and I have a "Class C" which has a property of a Class B.

Class A definition

Class USER.ClassA Extends %Persistent

{

Property Propx as %String;

}

Class B definition

Class USER.ClassB Extends %Persistent

{

Property Record as USER.ClassA;

}

Class C defintion (which is where I'm having my problem)

Class USER.ClassC Extends %Persistent

{

Property BRecord As USER.ClassB;

Property ARecord As USER.ClassA [ Calculated, SqlComputeCode = { ????? }, SqlComputed ];

Method ARecordGet() as USER.ClassA

{

 quit .

write "5apples" + "7 orange" //Ans :12

Values are string , why  add numeric value . its an error or correct . please tell me.

Is there an API I can call to determine the size of a routine in a CACHE.DAT file so that I don't have to directly reference the ^ROUTINE global?

Please Explain "$h"

Process-private Globals  can be used as a data global in storage definition. That way, each process can have its own objects for the class with ppg storage. For example lets define a pool, which can:

• add elements to a pool (ignoring duplicates)
• check if an element exists in the pool

Here's the class:

/// Stores unique identifiers
Class Utils.Pool Extends %Persistent
{

Property Value As %String;

Index IDKEY On Value [ IdKey, PrimaryKey, Unique ];

Method %OnNew(Value As %String = "") As %Status [ Private, ServerOnly = 1 ]
{
    Set .

Problem: I have a REST broker, and if I hit a code block, which does IO redirection, the REST reply becomes broken in one of the following ways:

• Binary output
• No output
• First 4096 characters of the reply are missing

Consider the following REST broker:

Class A.REST Extends %CSP.REST
{

XData UrlMap
{
<Routes>
<Route Url="/Test/:redirect" Method="GET" Call="Test"/>
 </Routes>
}

ClassMethod Test(Redirect As %Boolean = {$$$YES}) As %Status
{
    Set str = $TR($J("",4098)," ","1") // Get a string with the length of 4098 symbols
    
    Do:Redirect .

Hi,

I create a cache class program. Its compile it. But how to run it?

Please send one sample program with output

At the Global Summit several folks had mention that they developed their own production monitor. I am looking to create a monitor similar to eGate that we only display those Services/Processes/Operations that are in trouble, and those Errors that are showing up in the Event Log. Does anyone have any examples of this?

Thanks

Hello Cache experts,

Has anyone tried using Cache object script to check windows service is running or windows service installed or not on same computer or remote computer ? basically i am trying to develop cache program which will check "windows service" running or installed on current computer or remote computer. Based on the status of this windows service, i want to write some business logic in our application. Any suggestions will be more welcome

Hello, guys. 

We have recently created a syntax highlighting for COS for Atom text editor. You can find it on https://github.com/intersystems-ru/atom-language-cos

Installation: 

1. Download or clone this repository
2. Copy everything to ~/.atom/packages/
3. If you have your Atom editor open, then you need to reload it (enter  Window: Reload in Command line)

It's been few days since the release, so please if you find a bug, let us know through creating an issue or forking and making a pull request. 

P.S. After it gets more or less usable, we will use this syntax as a basis for GitHub highlighting for COS.

We are creating a package (written in Caché Object Script) that will provide access to an external DB (MySQL). Because applications that use our package will be run from machines with various, potentially unexpected, operating systems, we’d like to establish a connection to the external DB without using DSNs (we’ve heard that setting up DSNs on certain non-Windows machines can be cumbersome and problematic).

Does anyone know of  way to create a connection to an external DB without using a DSN?

Cache tricks

Several years ago, long before Developer Community Portal was launched, I published a series of Caché tricks at one of Czech web sites. In this article, I’m posting translated version of one of them.

Capturing output of someone else’s methods or routines

Suppose you, or someone else created a useful method or routine, that was producing some computation that you’d like to benefit from, but the routine was writing output to process principal device.

You would like to use the data, but you need it not written to a device, but assigned to a variable. And, for any reason, you can’t modify the code. What can you do?

              While Studio and Atelier are useful development interfaces, there are occasionally situations where a quick edit needs to be made to code and only terminal access is available.  A useful set of tools to do this are the zload, zprint, zinsert, zremove, and zsave commands.  These are abbreviated to zl, zp, zi, zr, and zs respectively.  While each of these commands has its own page in documentation, this article will synthesize that information with examples to provide instruction for their combined use.

I have the following problem:

• There are several classes with method generators, which needs to be compiled during every compilation
• I have "ckub" qualifiers enabled in studio
• I don't want to remove "u" qualifier because I need it very much in another namespaces

So how do I force classes with method generators to recompile when "u" qualifier is present?

Hello, everyone!

I opened one project and there I found such lines as 

$$Export^%occXMLExport(filename,"-d /diffexport",InternalName)

Do DecomposeStatus^%apiOBJ(sc,,"d")

The problem is I can't go to their definition and find them in documentation. It says that they don't exist on the server. However, the project works and these routines execute. 

How can I import them into my project? 

Hello, guys!

I want to get access to the folder where all files of the namespace are stored using COS. I found a way to get access to class files and found a folder where all csp, html, css etc files are stored.

However, is there any folder which contains all files(even .mac and .int)?  

Or, probably, there is a method which gives all files content?

I've been trying to write a method to compare two local variables, which may be arrays, for "equality" - that is, to see if they have all the same subscripts (if they're arrays) and values. This is the best I've come up with so far - are there any better/simpler approaches out there?

/// Returns true if arrays <var>first</var> and <var>second</var> have all the same subscripts and all
/// the same values at those subscripts.

Hello!

In Caché there is a way to print all current variables using write command without arguments:

But is there a way to get a list of this variables? I am looking for something that would return value like $LB("Einstein", "Mozart") for this case.

Thanks!

Hi!

Here is the question in Russian Forum regarding roots extracting.

In Caché ObjectScript we use exponentiation operator (**) to raise an exponent to power. F.e. let's raise 3 to power of 3: 

USER> write 3**3 

27

And we use the same operator to extract the root. 

USER> write 27**(1/3) 

2.999999999999999963

And 2.999999999999999963 is not 3, obviously.

How to extract roots properly in Caché ObjectScript?
