In some project, I found the need to use SMIME format https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3851.txt, basically is an standard used to wrap a message together with its signature using a certificate (usually X509). Ensemble don't have a single class to do that but inside the Ensemble installation we have the openssl utility, so in this example I use the "openssl smime" command to sign or verify a message.

The example has two Business Process that able to sign or verify and in order to test I made a simple production.

Hope this helps

Question Steven LeBlanc · Dec 17, 2015

Hi,

Is there any API equivalent (within Config.Databases class, or elsewhere) that has the same functionality as the 'Recreate a database' option in the ^DATABASE routine?

This option was added to ^DATABASE (according to internal Devlog CFL1263):

to recreate a database which is equivalent to deleting the .DAT file and recreating it.

I tested this, and the recreate option also appears to also preserve the original database parameters (e.g. max size, resource name).  But when I separately try Delete, and then Create, it does not preserve those settings, so the 'Recreate' option provides addi

The attached zip file contains a bunch of examples of Cache SQL Storage mappings that I have done over the years.

If you have existing globals and want to expose them via Objects or SQL you need to setup Cache SQL Storage mapping.  If you do not see an example that helps with your case send me an example and I can help you out.

Tip dvacátý šestý: objekty a concurrency 2 - swizzling

Když tento seriál před několika lety začínal, byl jeho první díl věnován zajištění izolace instance objektů pro exkluzivní přístup a popisu příslušných API funkcí. Nedávno se mi ale stalo, že mě tento díl dostihl. Jeden ze zákazníků začal mít problémy v aplikaci, přestože důsledně používal exkluzivní zámky pro editování instancí svých objektů. Když po příčině pátral důsledněji, zjistil (a přiznám se že jsem to sám nevěděl) že zámky aplikované na instance objektů mají jednu velmi nepříjemnou vlastnost, a to tu, že se nešíří prostřednictvím o

Introduction

This document is intended to provide a survey of various High Availability (HA) strategies that can be used in conjunction with InterSystems Caché, Ensemble, and HealthShare Foundation. This document also provides an overview of the various types of system outages that can occur, as well as how each strategy would handle a given outage, with the goal of helping you choose the right strategy for your specific deployment.

The strategies surveyed in this document are based on three different HA technologies:

  • Operating System Failover Clusters
  • Virtualization-Based HA
  • Caché Database Mirrori
