Every debugging tied very much with an editor of code. So, the first question should be, which editor should be used. The studio already has some debugging options, Atelier, too. I'm working hard now on VisualStudio code, and they also have good ways for debugging and hope I will manage to add good debugger for VSCode as well, but not only me who can do it. George James already has their debugger and introduced their work on the same debugger in VSCode.

Interesting looks like such error expectable for RedHat. But don't have any RedHat subscription, and I managed to build an image with RedHat, but with centos repo. And in my case, it works without any errors. Maybe you can contact me directly and send your image, so I can check on it?

My differences from your Dockerfile

RUN /bin/echo -e '[centos]' \
    '\nname=CentOS $releasever - $basearch' \
    '\nbaseurl=http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/centos/7/os/$basearch/' \
    '\nenabled=1' \
    '\ngpgcheck=0' > /etc/yum.repos.d/centos.repo \
 && cat /etc/yum.repos.d/centos.repo \
 && yum -y --nogpgcheck update \
 && yum -y --nogpgcheck install which tar hostname net-tools wget \
 && yum -y clean all \
 && ln -sf /etc/locatime /usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Brisbane

and I used the latest version of ccontainermain from releases, maybe with this version will be better for you as well.

curl -L https://github.com/daimor/ccontainermain/releases/download/0.7/ccontainermain -o /ccontainermain

batch file means, that you want to do it outside of Ensemble. In this case you should use ccontrol command or iris if you use IRIS.

ccontrol stop <ensemble> quietly

ccontrol start <ensemble>

where you should replace <ensemble> with your instance name.

if you work on windows, you can find ccontrol tool in bin directory of installed Ensemble.

you can find more details about using ccontrol in the documentation

The example in the documentation to %XML.Reader, does not work for you?

    #include %occStatus
    // Create a new XML Reader class
    Set reader = ##class(%XML.Reader).%New()
    // Begin processing of the XML input
    Set sc=reader.OpenFile(filename)
    If $$$ISERR(sc) Do $system.OBJ.DisplayError(sc) Quit  
    // Associate a class name with the XML element name
    Do reader.Correlate("Person","Sample.Person")
    // read Sample.Person objects from xml file
    Set Count=0
    While reader.Next(.person,.sc) {
        Write person.Name_" imported.",!
        Set Count=Count+1
        Set sc=person.%Save()
        If $$$ISERR(sc) Do $system.OBJ.DisplayError(sc) Quit  
    }
    If $$$ISERR(sc) Do $system.OBJ.DisplayError(sc) Quit  
    Write Count_" Sample.Person instances found."
