InterSystems ObjectScript is a scripting language to operate with data using any data model of InterSystems Data Platform (Objects, Relational, Key-Value, Document, Globals) and to develop business logic for serverside applications on InterSystems Data Platform.
I am currently looking for a Cache ObjectScript Developer. Please see job description below. If you are interested please send an email to paul.lilienfeld@libertyits.com
InterSystems is pleased to announce version 2.0.0 of the Language Server for VS Code. The Language Server augments the VS Code ObjectScript extension to provide better syntax coloring, embedded documentation, code completion and more. Detailed information is available in the GitHub repo's README. Version 2.0.0 adds support for a number of new platform architectures including M1 Macs!
NewBie's Corner Session 2 Variables Set and Write commands
Welcome to NewBie's Corner, a weekly or biweekly post covering basic Caché Material.
Session 2 – Click on the Caché Cube in your system tray and select Terminal to try out the commands.
Variables
Like other computer programming languages, Caché uses Variables and the values they represent to control programming. Variables are elements that represent data values. Manipulating and interrogating variables is at the root of programming.

Recently, I needed to create templates for newsletters. I couldn't find any tools, so I decided to use the CSP (Caché Server Pages) to build the templates.
Let's figure out how to make a newsletter similar to Weekly OEX Digest.
Excuse if this is obvious to Python programmers but for those crossing over from ObjectScript this may be a useful tip.
The scenario is developing some Embedded python commands.
Testing out functionality is being confirmed via the shell:
$SYSTEM.Python.Shell()
Python 3.9.5 (default, Mar 14 2023, 06:58:44) [MSC v.1927 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type quit() or Ctrl-D to exit this shell.
>>>
When Python evaluates an expression in the shell, it prints the result of the expression to the terminal.
When there's a performance issue, whether for all users on the system or a single process, the shortest path to understanding the root cause is usually to understand what the processes in question are spending their time doing. Are they mostly using CPU to dutifully march through their algorithm (for better or worse); or are they mostly reading database blocks from disk; or mostly waiting for something else, like LOCKs, ECP or database block collisions?
In our previous article, we explored how to send emails through Microsoft 365 using the Graph API. Since then, an anonymous client reached out to me about setting up some other methods of notifications through that API.
Twilio is a great tool for programmatically initiating and managing phone calls. In this example we'll go over basic account setup, create a Cache Class to manage our interaction with the Twilio API, and initiate a phone call from the Cache Terminal.
The full Class used in this example is available on GitHub as well.
This code snippet uses %ZEN.Auxiliary.jsonSQLProvider. The namespace and string of SQL can be edited for different situations. The class method "test" runs the code:
Class eduardlebedyuk.passQuestionParams
{
classmethod test(pValue = 50) {
s ns = $Namespace
zn "samples"
s tSQL = "SELECT ID, Name FROM Sample.Person WHERE Id > ?"
s tPR = ##class(%ZEN.Auxiliary.jsonSQLProvider).%New()
s tPR.sql = tSQL
s tPR.%Format = "tw"
s tPR.maxRows = 100
s tParam = ##class(%ZEN.Auxiliary.parameter).%New()
s tParam.value = pValue
d tPR.parameters.SetAt(tParam,1)
d tPR.%DrawJSON()
//d ##class(%ZEN.Auxiliary.jsonSQLProvider).%WriteJSONFromSQL(,,,,,tPR) //same thing
zn ns
}
}

Our company is in the process of converting our software for use in Intersystems IRIS and one of the major sections of the software makes use of a custom statically-linked C library using the $ZF("function-name") functionality. During this, I found out that the process for setting up the C library to be used within the database platform has changed significantly between Cache and IRIS.
N.P.M. is a Project & Task Management app that uses InterSystems IRIS and Bootstrap 4.
No Project Mess is created to help developers and small business companies to reduce complexity in their daily problems, with a simple and intuitive projects and tasks management software.
It offers different views for your tasks, from a spreadsheet, kanban, calendar, or even Gantt!
You may think it isn’t too difficult to get from label+offset^routine to the actual source line responsible for the error. For an expert it isn't that hard... most of the time. But there are enough oddities and special rules that even an expert can get it wrong, whilst spending a lot of time trying to get there.
gj :: locate is the latest tool from George James Software – it debugs any error, class or routine by converting the location of an error in compiled .int code to the corresponding location in your source, and then taking you right there.

Our 3M Computer Assisted Coding system goes down on a regular basis for updates, the Applications folks like us to Disable the Business Operations when this happens and start them back up when they page the on-call person. The Business Operations have to be started in a sequence to guarantee that all the ADT being sent it processed before we start sending everything else.
In ObjectScript you have a wide collection of functions that return some value typically:
set variable = $somefunction(param1,param2, ...)
There is nothing special about that. But there is a set of functions that I classify as LEFT SIDED The specialty of them is that you can use them also on the left of the equal operator as a target in the SET command:
As part of the InterSystems Solutionathon we would like to distribute a very quick survey on your thoughts on using AI-driven code documentation for ObjectScript.
I hereby announce the creation of an IRC channel dedicated to Caché development:
* network: FreeNode (connect to server: irc.freenode.net)
* channel: ##cos (yes, two hashes).
Topic is anything related to Caché development in spite of the name (and the fact that of Caché development I only really know about COS anyway), so sorry in advance for the restrictive channel name :)
Waiting for you here! (my nick is idletask on freenode)
