same situation for Caché and IRIS

  • in the package you install class zrcc.EX.ISOS.cls 
  • class method ##class(zrcc.EX.ISOS).Gset(....) shows up
  • as SQL procedure zrcc_EX.Gset(....)

inside the classmethod it is all standard COS/ISOS
similar;

  • ##class(zrcc.EX.ISOS).Xcmd(....)  >>> zrcc_EX.Xcmd( ...) 

Of course: Working with Globals requires experience in COS/ISOS

ClassMethods can be projected to SQL as Procedures.
That's what I  used in the only class (ISOS.cls) of this package
The package was written for IRIS but worked in Caché as well for ages..

READY 2026 is the place to find your ultimate answers on IRIS.

in variation of Frank Sinatra:

  •   You will NOT get it anywhere ! 
  •   It's up to 👉 YOU 👉 just YOU 👉 just YOU  !

so this acts in some way similar to #(variable + formula)# syntax
that we know from &html<..> or &js< ..> blocks for CSP

first you may try to run your query in your code for a few records 
to see by what format EFFDT is returned internally

a quick check from the hip.

I'd guess WHERE EFFDT > :pDate is the critical point
If the formatting doesn't match, it may cause strange results.

set daysBack=-1*daysBack
&sql(SELECT DATEADD('day', :daysBack, CURRENT_DATE) INTO :tDate)

or  (didn't try)

&sql(SELECT DATEADD('day', (-1)*:daysBack, CURRENT_DATE) INTO :tDate)

As my 5* review in OEX is still blocked after fixing 
a minor typo in text I'lll publish it here.

method jsonstring() is missing a return value
suggestion
ClassMethod jsonstring(id, map = "") As %String [ SqlProc ]

The rest is working perfectly
The use of customized mapping was new to me 
Excellent improvement and very useful
Expect my review on OEX

The idea of 

set ^A($char(65535)) = ""

Looks good at first sight, but this might be the next follower

set ^A($char(65535),0) = ""

Just great !
and an incredible consumption of resources on disk and cpu
with my Windows Docker Desktop

list display failed at that point also text was scrambled
now it's working normal again

So it's clear.
Old_Class loads old defined properties in a local Object structure 
and writes only this structure back.

It has no idea of New properties and doesn't write it.
Just a guess:
$LB(...) in ^GlobalD of Old_class is shorter than for New_class
 So %Save() of Old_class is a data killer.
 

Robert Cemper · Feb 17 go to post

OK,
but prerequisit is, that both definitions are identical.
Especially in the Storage definition, where properties are mapped to globals

Robert Cemper · Feb 17 go to post

ATTENTION ! This made me nervous.

In essence, the two classes are sharing the same data / Index / stream globals.

This means there is also
Parameter MANAGEDEXTENT As INTEGER = 0;
Otherwise, it wouldn't compile

Robert Cemper · Feb 17 go to post

Re-reading your question, I understand that properties in 
New_class are not identical and synchronized with Old_class ?
So even Storage Definition might be different ? 
IF YES, I'd say it's highly risky! 

Robert Cemper · Feb 17 go to post
  • With %OpenId you create a complete internal local copy of your object
  • With %Save it is written back as complete as is was. NOT just changed properties as you might expect And non- defined properties vanish
  • Any change that happened in between from some other process is lost
  • You may need some locking logic to prevent simultaneous access by 2 instances  eg. locking the Id for exclusive access by 1 single  process.
  • In your case it may even happen in 1 process with Old_Class vs, New_Class

Big Thanks for this recognition  ! 
Especially for the team that made it possible.

Does it work without that UnitTest line in the Dockerfiles ??

 ([ $TESTS -eq 0 ] || iris session iris -U $NAMESPACE "##class(%ZPM.PackageManager).Shell(\"test $MODULE -v -only\",1,1)") && \

Running UnitTest directly in iris.script might be easier to control.
Checking UnitTests with ZPM manually after the first install might give more precise info of the problem

My personal approach would be:

  1. separate instance code from Class Methods
    This covers all properties and especially Calculated Properties
    Or simplified, all code tied to data storage
  2.  Class Methods work on referenced objects but have no dedicated data store (i%...)
    Simplified, they are code-only components.
  3.  Class Methods could be bundled in several Classes.

In Caché you had CacheParameterFile  cache.cpf with the SuperServerPort 1972
now it's named iris.cpf  with DefaultPort=1972
