go to post Robert Cemper · Aug 12, 2025 Due to limited practice in ZEN I transferred your example to straight CSP and JS <html> <head> <title>Demo for David</title> <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> function importExtract() { var url='upload.csp' ; var options = 'popup,status=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=750,height=250' ; newwindow=window.open(url,'UPLOAD',options); newwindow.focus(); alert('back'); } </script> </head> <body> <h3>Demo for David</h3> <Input type="button" value="Import Client Consultation Extract" onclick="importExtract();"/> </body> </html> in upload.csp I just added this BUTTON to the end ot the main form <button onclick="window.close()" style="width: 100px; height: 40px; font-size: 18px;"> Exit </button> </form>

Use $$ON^TRACE(5352) ; the job you want to trace ==> open file3: USE $$OFF ^TRACE(5352) to stop trace ==> close file4.Now ^TRACE should show the file I traced my own studio session: START:1810291850,0,%SYS.BINDSRV,2,1 STACK: [ 0] D - SuperServer+112^%SYS.SERVER +1 STACK: [ 1] D - SuperConnect+34^%SYS.DBSRV +1 STACK: [ 2] D - Dispatch+14^%SYS.BINDSRV +1 DO:1812736542,0,%SYS.BINDSRV,39 ARG:[ 0] INT: 0 ARG:[ 1] INT: 1 ARG:[ 2] INT: 1 DO:1812736624,0,%SYS.BINDSRV,625 ARG:[ 0] INT: 0 ARG:[ 1] INT: 0 DO:1812736631,0,%SYS.BINDSRV,258 ARG:[ 0] INT: 0 ARG:[ 1] INT: 0 QUIT:1812736638,291 DO:1812736642,0,%SYS.BINDSRV,627
go to post Robert Cemper · Aug 8, 2025 Not sure for Caché 2017 BUT Cache for UNIX (Red Hat Enterprise Linux for x86-64) 2018.1.5 (Build 659U) Mon Mar 22 2021 07:12:43 EDTHas ^TRACE in %SYSwith enough $v(..) and $ZU(..) to look promising W $ZU(5) %SYS %SYS>D ^TRACE TRACE utility for Cache. You can signal a process to write a record of all procedure, function, or subroutine calls to a file. Then use this utility to interpret and display the trace. The trace file is named: CacheTrace_'pid'.txt Use $$DIR^TRACE(dir) to set the directory where the file(s) should be written (process must have create/write access to the directory). $$DIR^TRACE() returns the current directory for trace files. Use $$ON^TRACE(pid) to start the trace and $$OFF^TRACE(pid) to end the recording. Then just run ^TRACE to see the results. Process ID for trace file:
go to post Robert Cemper · Aug 8, 2025 So %SYS>d ^TRACE might be a useful start This utility traces the execution of a process. Traced processes write events to a trace file with details about the routine line where the event occurred and, if applicable, the global reference. The events available for tracing correspond to the metrics availabe in performance monitoring tools (PERFMON, %SYS.MONLBL etc). Raw data is written to iristrace_<pid>.txt in the configured directory, and is then parsed and displayed by this utility. Trace file directory: not set Trace file size limit: unlimited Trace events selected: RtnLoad, GloRef, BlockWait, NCacheMiss, DirBlkRd UpntBlkRd, BpntBlkRd, DataBlkRd, BdataBlkRd, MapBlkRd, OthBlkRd 1) Configure Trace 2) Trace Process (Foreground) 3) Start Background Trace 4) Stop Background Trace 5) Display Trace Files 6) Delete All Trace Files Option?
go to post Robert Cemper · Aug 7, 2025 If I understand it right, you do not just expect a tracking down to some point, but also a history of all up and down you did from a certain starting point.Similar to a TCP traceroute
go to post Robert Cemper · Aug 4, 2025 The feedback button is not available for Python and for Node.js.These were my 1st broken examples
go to post Robert Cemper · Aug 4, 2025 AH, That was meant by feedbackWhich is easy now, as it wasn't a bug but an explicit feature
go to post Robert Cemper · Aug 4, 2025 Suggested Idea: Keep documentation in sync with reality .. ? 🤭
go to post Robert Cemper · Aug 4, 2025 It might be great to remove the related refences alsofrom official documentationPyhttps://docs.intersystems.com/components/csp/docbook/Python-Native/v1.0.0/irisnative.iris.html#irisnative.iris.function Nodes.jshttps://docs.intersystems.com/components/csp/docbook/NodeJS-Native/v2019.2/external-_intersystems-iris-native_.Iris.html Javahttps://docs.intersystems.com/iris20201/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=BJAVNAT_call#BJAVNAT_call_function .NEThttps://docs.intersystems.com/iris20201/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=BNETNAT_call#BNETNAT_call_function Also Class reference for 2025.1https://docs.intersystems.com/iris20251/csp/documatic/%25CSP.Documatic.cls?LIBRARY=%25SYS&CLASSNAME=%25Net.DB.Iris#Function like this:Calls a function (label^routine), passing zero or more arguments and returning the function's return value. Trailing arguments may be omitted, causing default values to be used for those arguments. This method throws an exception when an error condition is encountered. routineName input The name of the routine that implements the function to be called. functionName input The name of the function to be invoked. args input... The arguments to be passed to the method. return The value returned by the functionName function. Such a misleading documentation roughly 1.5 years behind reality is not so impressive It took days to find this out. 😖
go to post Robert Cemper · Aug 4, 2025 Thank you for the explanation. @Vitaliy Serdtsev 🙂👍This matches my investigations
go to post Robert Cemper · Aug 3, 2025 quite an interesting hidden feature. Though testing with _SYSTEM/SYS and %All, this had no visible impactIt is exactly 1 method that breaks in all 4 Nativ packages And with %All the rest is available anyhow and working fine. BUT eventually %All is not All enough
go to post Robert Cemper · Aug 1, 2025 Thanks for the input.A good idea to put the demo in a separate repoIt is just not directly obvious from OEXworks fine, and module.xml looks good. Review placed
go to post Robert Cemper · Jul 21, 2025 >> Naming in ObjectScript has a historic background In the beginning, the grand-grandfather of IRIS was a full-stack operating systemAnd it was running on machines with only 64 KBytes of memorySo saving space in memory was the highest virtue of a developer then.Consequently, all names were as short as short could be.Typically using single-character named variables.And A was different from a to widen the available scopeOver the years, this was kept for backward compatibility and to decrease the fear of upgradesAnd I have seen customers running 40+ year old code also in IRIS without any bit changed.

go to post Robert Cemper · Jul 17, 2025 you could try to set your terminator to null String "". it is optional accordig to docshttps://docs.intersystems.com/iris20251/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=GIOD_tcp#GIOD_tcp_open terminators Optional — A list of up to eight user terminator characters that will terminate reads on the TCP binding device. If you specify both T mode and terminators at the same time, T mode is ignored.
go to post Robert Cemper · Jul 17, 2025 I wonder how you expect to know that your input is complete without any terminator.And according to your example, you also don't have a fixed length:Withoit an clear signal timeout seems to be the only way to know you are complete.You may read input character by character without guarantee how do decide for 1 or 10 or 100 or 1000 ?Some ending character (eg. not numeric) or a fixed length is required
