Hey there,

I posted a reply to the recent video https://community.intersystems.com/post/new-video-building-data-driven-web-apps#comment-132511
with a slew of questions.  Wondering if someone can take a look a address my questions on that post or on this new thread.

I find many InterSystems learning to be challenging to follow, but I"m not sure if it's because my work computer is so locked down that I don't have all the right tools and permissions I need to do what the tutorial asks, or if I'm not understanding the basics of Cache/IRIS, or both!

Hello,

For many routines we write, we utilize a global we name ^HITLIST($JOB,"routineName") as temporary storage as needed.  For various reasons this gets junked up and we are at a point where we need to do some routine garbage collection.

The idea is to write a utility that looks at all the ^HITLIST($JOB) nodes, check if the job is currently running and if it isn't then we can issues the KILL command on ^HITLIST($JOB).

We looked at the methods in %SYSTEM.Process and couldn't find a method that clear told us that a job was running or not.

I searched to see if there was a previous question on this, but I didn't quite find anything.  Please link if you think this has been answered before (I have a feeling it has): what are the barriers to source control using Cache 2018 and Studio?  

I'm trying to figure out how to create a local repository but I can't access the folder structure in the USER namespace for my local instance. If I could, it would be as simple as navigating there in Git Bash and doing a 'git init' and then I can push changes to a remote repo for control.

I am writing an API that sends over a very large JSON object. 

The code I'm using to get the data is actually used in our production system today for the use of writing a report.

However when I call the code using the API (using SoapUI) I am getting 'Error getting response; java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out'

The web applications settings have a session timeout setting at 15 minutes, but this is timing out within just a few minutes, so I know it's not hitting this mark.

Has anyone experienced this issue with APIs?

I'm playing with Cache web apps (CSP pages) and local dev . . .

My understanding is that when you run Cache, it spins up a very lightweight Apache web server with the web root C:\InterSystems\Cache\CSP (or where your CSP folder happens to be).  I can successfully place a index.html file with a simple header element in any one of the sub directories in \CSP (e.g. samples, sys, user) and it will successfully be served on, for example, http://localhost:57772/CSP/samples/index.html.

However, if I put the index.html at C:\InterSystems\Cache\CSP\index.html or if I create a new folder and place it

Currently, when we want to write data to a file that will be viewed in Excel, we parse the data in tab deliminated format to the file and name it with .xls at the end.  That is sent to end users via email.  They get a warning that the data is not formatted properly (it's not really an Excel file after all) but it does display somewhat correctly as the tabs are understood (this does not work if we deliminated with commas however).

How can we format the file for Excel?

Hello,

I have some beginner questions as I am working through the InterSystems Cache learning path:

- Where I work, we us Cache, but we often learning about and train on MUMPS.  No one really talks about or mentions MUMPS here, but my understanding is that ObjectScript is basically MUMPS plus whatever new things InterSystems put on top of it.  Is that a fair assessment?

- The training online often refers to IRIS.  We don't use IRIS, but we use globals to store data.  I suppose I'm just confused on the difference between Cache, Zen, IRIS and other products as they all seem to do similar things.
