Question Nikita Savchenko · Jun 15, 2017

This post is originally posted on GitHub.

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).

Question David Hockenbroch · Oct 14, 2021

If I open a terminal and type the following commands, sc is an error:

set validator = "sc = ##class(%Library.Numeric).IsValid(""BLAH"")"
set @validator
write sc

At the end, when I write sc I get:

0 L'BLAH9
             DOCXT010,#e^zIsValid+1^%Library.Numeric.1^1e^^^1

However, if I call the following class method using the arguments "%Library.Numeric" and "BLAH", sc is undefined

 ClassMethod testvalidator(class As %String, value As %String) As %Status
{
set validator = "sc = ##class("_class_").IsValid("""_value_""")"
write validator,!
set @validator
write sc,!

version cache for windows, 2017.2.1 build 801_3 - windows 10

I had this system set up for 3+ years now, and background tasks such as converting emails,  have always worked, suddenly it's stopped working and I've tracked it down to any network references.

reading the emails, I look for any attachment files, and save them to a network drive before processing them within a class method,

I've been testing it by sending exactly the same email repeatedly and checking the saving of the attached file in both the background and in the terminal.

Question Marta Soler · Aug 29, 2019

Hello!

I am taking the 'Creating an InterSystems Class Definition' course, and the Exercices asks to open a Terminal from the Management Portal to create and interact with a new object. I didn't found how to acces tot the Terminal from the Management Portal, and the documentation I have seen doesn't help me... sad

In some moment I saw a video wich explains how to acces to the terminal, but I can't find it. ¿Can someone explains me how to find the Terminal acces?

Thank you!

Question Ciaran Mooney · Sep 20, 2018

HI,

I am a newbie so excuse my basic questions.

I have installed Caché on Mac Os High Sierra 10.13.6 and have started the ObjectScript tutorial but I cannot open Terminal in Caché.

The instructions provided on the tutorial don't appear to be for Mac OS as there is no cube icon:


n order to begin practicing using ObjectScript, you need to start the Terminal. Click the Caché cube iconin the task bar and select Terminal from the menu. This brings up the terminal window, and you can see from the prompt that we are in the USER namespace.

I used Cache 2016.

I used the following statement to sort after paging, but suggested an error:

SELECT *
FROM
  (SELECT sslog.userRowid,
          sslog.CreateDate,
          sslog.CreateTime,
          Sslog.SSUSR,
          sslog.Terminal,
          ssuser.Initials,
          ssuser.USName
   FROM SUser_Log sslog
   LEFT JOIN DHC_SSuser ssuser ON (Sslog.SSUSR = ssuser.userRowid
                                   OR sslog.ssusr = ssuser.Initials

Question Razvan Prepelita · Sep 8, 2017

Hello everyone, I'm trying to run a cache terminal script from cmd/ batch.
I run it like this C:\MyCache\bin#cterm.exe C:\Users\Me\Desktop\cache_scrip.scr
The command opens a terminal, but nothing happens, no title present, no log file written, no output, it's just stucked.
Here is my script:

case match: off
title MyTitle
; wait for the terminal to initialize and ask for our identification
echo: on
wait for:Username
send: MeUser<CR>
wait for:Password
send: mepass<CR>
logfile: C:\Users\Me\Desktop\cache_script.

Question Eduard Lebedyuk · Jul 6, 2018

Let's say I have this simple script  file try.script

write 1
write 0

I can execute it in a terminal (csession) by calling:

csession cache < try.script

And I get the following output:

%SYS>
1
%SYS>
0

However I want to use a try catch block in my script:

try {
write 1/0
catch {}
halt

But as script is executed line by line, it's interpreted like this:

%SYS>
TRY {
      ^
<SYNTAX>
%SYS>

WRITE 1/0
^
<DIVIDE>
%SYS>

CATCH {}
^
<SYNTAX>
%SYS>

I know that I can write it all in 1 line, but I'd rather not do that. Is there a way to feed multiline statement into Cache?

Question Evgeny Shvarov · Apr 1, 2017

Hi, Community!

Is there an option to get an archived file of globals in one command. Say for:

Do $System.OBJ.Export("Class1*D.GBL,Class2*D.GBL","data_gbl.xml")

get something like:

Do $System.OBJ.Export("Data*D.GBL","data_gbl.gz","gzip")

And also to have the convenient one click way to  import it to the namespace via terminal or Control Panel?

If anyone already has this module, share please?

It would be very convenient for import/export/continuous integration purposes cause globals can be really heavy.

Question Raul Munoz · Apr 4, 2017

Hello,

I have been involved with using terminal scripts lately (I use GE Centricity Business), that usually do not go beyond 'send:' and 'wait for:' commands.  Notwithstanding, I have been stuck with the message boxes since the script recorder does not record over this whenever I need to click 'Yes' in a given message box prompt which aggressively stops my scripts/macros from continuing.  I know that this commands are labeled 'Extended Escape Sequences', but I have been looking all over at the Intersystems document repository with no luck in finding anything of the sort.

Question Mihai Radu · Aug 31, 2017

I am trying to capture the write of a method to test the response in an unit test. I know everything works because one of my colleagues ran the code and did not froze on his machine.

I don't what is the cause of the freeze. I know that at line Use $io::("^"_$ZNAME) it stopes because i have put some write functions after every line in WriteCapture method and i only saw the first write function in terminal

I also used debug and in this case it didn't froze

PS: forgot to put the status in the XECUTE (vstrCommand , .

Question Paras Batheja · Aug 17, 2020

Hi Developers 

Is there any way that we can pass the values to the read prompts via cache routine.

For example, we have a couple of reports/routine in our system which accepts some inputs and after taking the inputs it generates some data. Right now it has proper UI and where User enters the value and in routines we have Read statements which accepts those inputs for further processing.

Question Thomas Schroyen · Apr 8, 2019

Hello gentlemen,

I have to create a objectscript program that will simulate a mainframe (because it's going to be removed). For my program, I receive data from another program that is written in Delphy by TCP on a preset socket.  Here is my problem, how can I handle this? 
Which class shoud my program  extend?
Which Adapter should I use?
My program must be able to read what the delphy one is sending and i don't really know what structure it is in what it is in. So is there a class that can allow me to read it? Thanks for your future anwers.
Here is a sample of what I have thought but doesn't work.

Question Lucas Fernandes · Dec 18, 2017

Hi,

Can I get "Window Size" from terminal? By command line.

Terminal > Edit > Window Size

I already tried to use 'do CURRENT^%IS', but without success. It does not return the change, for example, when the column is 132.

Is there any routine or method for this?

Question Anthony Rosania · Feb 23, 2020

First,

Forgive me if this is a rather low-level question - I am a physician informaticist who is learning cache/mumps for the first time. I am sure this probably relates to some setting but I can't find a similar issue anywhere.

When I create a list, and then try and return that list - I get a bunch of symbols back along with my results, or sometimes I just get symbols. 

I pasted a screenshot below.  Thank is advance for the help!

Anthony

Question Eduard Lebedyuk · Mar 6, 2020

Simple problem:

  1. I leave a long-running command in terminal
  2. Switch to another task(s)
  3. Remember that I need to check on my command after a few hours

Is there any way to force terminal to the foreground after current command ends?

This is Windows with cterm/iristerm although Putty/Kitty solution would also be nice.

Question Jimmy Christian · Feb 8, 2019

Hello ,

I have a class Method  ClassMethod SearchOBXFlag(pSourceMsg As EnsLib.HL7.Message, Identifier As %String) As %String

How can i test this method from terminal or from portal or studio.  In Terminal i am not able to pass a HL7 message to the method since it terminates after segment terminator. It should be great if i can pass a local file with the hl7 message to the function instead.

Any help will be appreciated how to pass a hl7 message to this function inorder to test.

Thanks

Jimmy Christian.
