go to post Chris Thompson · May 29, 2019 I have to agree on this one as well. Especially since you can have tasks kick off once a given task has finished.
go to post Chris Thompson · Apr 1, 2019 It really depends on what the acceptance criteria is, in my opinion. You don't have to name it to an excel extension, a .csv will open just fine in excel although you do lose some formatting abilities. One of the things we recently implemented is just having a simple node server that accepts a JSON call via REST using the exceljs node library. Granted this is outside of cache but it does the job.Depending on your memory settings calling out your reporting result to another service can hit a max string issue unless it takes a pure stream.There is another post out here that tried to achieve this problem by actually creating html tables in excel (This may be what Charles was talking about but his link breaks for me so I just get a 404), but once again if it's the same approach I am thinking of you hit formatting issues.One approach I am currently investigating is using an ADO .net connection to pull the data from the cache database and presenting it to the front end using an excel nugget package. Hope this information helps and good luck, please let us know what you ended up with!- Chris
go to post Chris Thompson · Feb 22, 2019 Edward,This may be a silly question but the Business Service in your Ensemble Production is currently enabled, correct?
go to post Chris Thompson · Jan 3, 2019 Yes, you are seeing that because it sounds like you are loading the object and then doing a zw on the object. You can create your class and then change the storage definition in your class to use the ^Person global. I suggest you get a good idea of how the storage definitions work before you start messing around with it though.
go to post Chris Thompson · Jan 3, 2019 SQL tables are just projections (this is an over simplification) of the globals. So your table User.Person is storing all of the data in ^User.PersonD. If you have indices, they are stored in ^User.PersonI.if you compile that class, and in terminal run zw ^User.PersonD you'd see the structure of the global.
go to post Chris Thompson · Jan 3, 2019 Class User.Person Extends %Persistent {Property Name as %String;Property Gender as %String;Property JobTitle as %String;}set Person = ##class(User.Person).%New()set Person.Name = "Mike"set Person.Gender = "Male"set Person.JobTitle = "Developer"set status = Person.%Save()This creates a new record in the Person table, but it's also in the User.PersonD global. Assuming this is the first record, you'll have an %Id() of 1if you wanted to get the Personset Person = ##class(User.Person).%OpenId(1)if you wanted to delete:set status = ##class(User.Person).%DeleteId(1)Hope that helps.P.S. - I wrote this in only a couple of minutes so there may be errors. Intersystems documentation can tell you more and I think there are examples in the Samples namespace.
go to post Chris Thompson · Dec 5, 2018 Look at the production xml and see if that value if defined there. Sometimes if you happen to save an empty value from the production page it'll put the xml tag in there. Once that is there, the system default settings will not override that value.I am unfamiliar with being able to remove that besides removing it from the production xml itself.
go to post Chris Thompson · Nov 7, 2018 You implement DSTIME on a class by doing the following in your persistent class:Parameter DSTIME As STRING [ Constraint = ",AUTO,MANUAL", Flags = ENUM ] = "AUTO"; You will need to implement batching as well so you only pick up changes to a class from the last time you queried against DSTIME. I believe there are a few posts in the community that further discuss implementing DSTIME. Best of luck.
go to post Chris Thompson · Nov 6, 2018 Steve,Thank you for clearing up some things I left out. I actually learned a little which I greatly appreciate! I would like to take this time to somewhat hijack the thread (sorry) but when it comes to using the Ensemble scheduler don't you need to consider how often you are scheduling a task? The quicker you need it to occur doesn't CallInterval become more beneficial? We have quite a few Ensemble services that need to kick off (~30 seconds) and we have had this debate for some time when we need to invoke the Ensemble scheduler. Thanks!- Chris
