You can use property "links" in "objectscript.conn", to add some links to your projects, which you will be able to open quickly
"objectscript.conn": {
"active": true,
"username": "_system",
"password": "SYS",
"ns": "MYAPP",
"port": 52773,
"links": {
"MyApp": "http://${host}:${port}/csp/${namespace}/main.csp"
}
}After this, you will get a new item in the menu shown by click on the status bar with connection info.
While you are working with JSON, I would recommend to not do it manually and use native JSON support, available since 2016.2 (2016.1 with notes).
So, you can do it just
set json = {}.%FromJSON(str)or
set json = {}.%FromJSON(stream)and value will be available by
write json."Not Working Example"
If you have a version with no native JSON support, look at this project
I don't see XML here, but for your examples, I would use Regex
Set regex = ##class(%Regex.Matcher).%New("(""[^""]*""):\s(""[^""]*""|[^,]*)")
Set regex.Text = """Working Example"": xyz,"
Write !,regex.Text,!
If regex.Locate() {
Write !?5,regex.Group(1)
Write !?5,regex.Group(2)
}
Write !
Set regex.Text = """Not Working Example"": ""x, y"","
Write !,regex.Text,!
If regex.Locate() {
Write !?5,regex.Group(1)
Write !?5,regex.Group(2)
}And the output will be
"Working Example": xyz, "Working Example" xyz "Not Working Example": "x, y", "Not Working Example" "x, y"
It’s a binary format, and does not suit for diff
On the other side, for globals, I don't know any better solution than XML, at the moment.
project awesome, is completely different, it's not about snippets, it's about real projects, complete and awesome
so, I would name our project, just as simple, objectscript-snippets
Yeah, the simplest way, then to share it, will be to have it as an extension
Yeah, having some dedicated repo for objectscript snippets, looks great.
By code sections, I would get some code snippets. In VSCode, you can easily add any amount of snippets, look at this article.
And VSCode will offer to insert code snippet, while you typing text written in prefix of the snippet.
There is no xsd. And much better would be to convert sources from xml to udl, and it’s possible to do it even with the history of changes. Our company can help with it, please contact us, info@caretdev.com
The only way to get it worked with CSP files right now, is to configure isfs. In this case, you will edit any files only remotely, with no local files.
You need file with code-workspace extension and content like this.
{
"folders": {
"uri": "isfs://yourserver/csp/user?ns=USER&csp"
}
}More details, on how to configure and work with isfs, in the documentation
And just a note, for one more issue. The description to method %JSONNew says, that I can pass JSON which will be imported to the just created object
/// Get an instance of an JSON enabled class.<br><br>
///
/// You may override this method to do custom processing (such as initializing
/// the object instance) before returning an instance of this class.
/// However, this method should not be called directly from user code.<br>
/// Arguments:<br>
/// dynamicObject is the dynamic object with thee values to be assigned to the new object.<br>
/// containerOref is the containing object instance when called from JSONImport.
ClassMethod %JSONNew(dynamicObject As %DynamicObject, containerOref As %RegisteredObject = "") As %RegisteredObject [ CodeMode = generator, GenerateAfter = %JSONGenerate, ServerOnly = 1 ]
{
Quit ##class(%JSON.Generator).JSONNew(.%mode,.%class,.%property,.%method,.%parameter,.%codemode,.%code,.%classmodify,.%context)
}But in fact, it does does nothing with it, and generated code, just returns new object
%JSONNew(dynamicObject,containerOref="") public {
Quit ##class(Conduit.Model.User).%New()
}To be able to export %Id() as id property in JSON, I had to add this.
Property id As %Integer [ Calculated, SqlComputeCode = { Set {*} = {%%ID} }, SqlComputed ];I think, that it would be better to have some parameter in a class which would enable to output id easier without hacks.
Yeah, I know that I can do %FromJSON, but it looks like overhead, here.
Look at this article, you can generate API implementation just from swagger specification. It generates a bunch of methods for each call in swagger spec.
Something like this
/// Get an article. Auth not required<br/>
/// The method arguments hold values for:<br/>
/// slug, Slug of the article to get<br/>
ClassMethod GetArticle(slug As %String) As %DynamicObject
{
//(Place business logic here)
//Do ..%SetStatusCode(<HTTP_status_code>)
//Do ..%SetHeader(<name>,<value>)
//Quit (Place response here) ; response may be a string, stream or dynamic object
}So, in this method, I would add code like this
/// Get an article. Auth not required<br/>
/// The method arguments hold values for:<br/>
/// slug, Slug of the article to get<br/>
ClassMethod GetArticle(slug As %String) As %DynamicObject
{
Set article = ##class(Article).slugOpen(slug,, .tSC)
If $$$ISERR(tSC) {
Do ..%SetStatusCode(404)
Return
}
Return article
#; Or
Return article.%JSONExport()
}But this will not work. The only ways to make to work is to return string or stream
Return article.%JSONExportToString() Return article.%JSONExportToStream()
But, I have to wrap the output. And the best would be to get something like this
Return { "article": (article.%JSONExport()) }While I have to write this, and hope do not get MAXSTRING error, for some cases
Return "{ ""article"": " _ article.%JSONExportToString() _ "}"And it's just only a case with one object, while for some cases I have to return an array.
Definitely, something wrong in the configuration. Code in InterSystems in fact is no different from any other data stored there. So, you may have some wrong mappings, or store some of your code in %SYS.
I have a configuration with mirroring + ECP, and it works perfectly, I don't even care which of the nodes is primary, and can switch it any time, with no issues. And I have even more than one Code databases, and more than 20 Data databases. Mirroring Nodes works on 2018.1 while ECP Application Servers on 2012.2, with no issues.
If you have some doubts about your configuration, you can ask for help through WRC, or we can help you with it, we can review your settings, and say what actually happened and how to solve it
Yes, it's compressed, you can try to use $system.Util.Decompress()
I would suggest a few points, how to catch what's going on wrong with the unexpected growth of databases, it's not actually really matter iristemp/cachetemp or some other.
When you found exact global name, you now have a point where to start an investigation.
If you stopped IRIS, you can just delete IRISTEMP, it will be recreated as a new in any way, after the start.
Sorry for that, could you please fill the issue here? This check needed to be sure, that file on the server has not been updated while edited in VSCode. And may not work perfectly, yet, unfortunately.
As a workaround, I would suggest using import right in Caché/IRIS with a common way through $system.OBJ.Load/ImportDir
It's In fact not a common task for an editor, to import big amounts of files. So, the best behavior you'll get if you compile it separately from the editor.
Look at this, how it's actually works

I have not been worked with Visual Studio, so, have no idea how it works there. But Instead of Studio, I would recommend using VSCode, of course, it already supports debugging, for sure you can watch variables (and expressions) as well as hovering variables. It does not support objects in a some readable way but supports it as an expression, so obj.property will work.
Unfortunately, for some reasons some systems may not use the latest versions of InterSystems products. While Integrity checks in some cases can be used on lower versions. And from the other side, for some systems reversing the system to some backup can be used as only last chance to restore the data, due to the sensitivity of stored data and the impossibility to restore data since the latest backup. So, If I would find database degradation I would better attempt to recover it, fortunately, I have an experience, and possibly lose some data, but the amount of lost data will be significantly less then when I would use a backup. Around 100 hundred GB journals per day, with tens of terabytes of data supposed for backup, make the task to restore system quickly as impossible for a system that has to be available with no downtime.
This feature, just implemented, so, you can't see it in a public stable release. But, you can install manually the latest beta release, where it should be already available. Download vsix file, and install it in VSCode with command Install from VSIX...
Check the value stored in ^%SYS("CSP","DefaultFileCharset"), if there is no value or there is something different to utf-8, try to change it there.
So, it means, that now you have no way how to use this data anymore. Printing ability provided by browser with no option to change printer. And no way to access disk drive directly.
I would offer you to change %Stream.FileCharacter with %Stream.BinaryCharacter. While for Base64 is Character is ok, pdf is a binary format and %Stream.FileCharacter can break it.
In that particular case, we have 16k blocks, due to the past issues with caching big string blocks over the ECP.
But I think, there are a few ways how integrity can be improved, for such cases. I see at least two reasons why we should check integrity periodically.
I'm faced with an issue when error on a pointer level causes issues with WriteDaemon, and our system just died, when the application tried to get access to the data. And it took some time to figure out why it has happened, even when we did not have any issues with database at all, just only with ECP. That happened in the version 2012.2. And I'm thinking I would be able to set how deeply I could scan blocks, let's say, don't care about data blocks, just scan only pointers blocks. I don't have proportions, but I'm sure that in most cases we would have much more data blocks than pointers blocks. So, it would make integrity check give some results faster.
I know quite well how the database looks inside. But I did not manage, yet to look at how database backups work, and mostly interesting incremental backups. As I know backup works with blocks, so, maybe there is a way to make incremental integrity checks as well. It will not help to find the issues that happened in unchangeable blocks due to hardware issues but could say, that lately changed data is Ok.
