Thank you for ll the info, I was able to install git-source-control and I'm....fighting testing it.

I think that the main problem with OEX software is the lack of information/details/documentation on how to install, configure and the use them.

Even ZPM itself suffer this problem, I found nowhere that a ZPM package can be downloaded as  tarball and installed using the load command.
Where is the url for downloading the the tarballs for the ZMP packages reported/documented?

The git-source-control has very (very, very....) limited documentation/information on any aspect, from configuration to usage. Often it's a reverse engineering activity  to figure out how it (should) work.
The feeling is that is a half backed software that has been abandoned.

Nevertheless I keeping fighting testing it.

That's EXACTLY what a Schedule setting does in any Item/Business Host (Business Service in your case).

Well...installing a ZPM registry require ZPM itself and internet connection.

Additionally, in environments with no internet connection adding a new server (or docker) with internet connection just to install a source control software does not sound like "a solution".

I understand that ZPM is simple and handy, but why not releasing a stand alone installer that can be downloaded and installed without ZPM?

Enrico

Is internet connection a requirement?

It seems is not possible to download and install it without using ZPM that require internet connection.

Not every server has internet connection.

"Unfortunately  the Schedule Option isn't suitable where we need the job to run only once at a set time per day"

Why not? It is definitely possible to schedule to start every day at 8:00 for example using this schedule string:

START:*-*-*T08:00:00,STOP:*-*-*T08:10:00

You start a Business Service at 8:00 and stop it at 8:10 (for example).
All you need to take care is that the BS only make one call when started.

have a look to this article:

Upload into a InterSystems IRIS REST API

"here has to be a way to do this. No?"

well...no!

iris force <instance name>

Edit: wrong answer, see @Joel Solon comment below

Look the methods FileCompact() and and ReturnUnusedSpace() in the class SYS.Database.

This is the class reference.

Yeah, it has happened to me too, it seems WRC is not interested in fixing/reporting bugs when any sort of workaround is possible/available, like using a different class in this case.

The community is frequented by InterSystems product managers, developers, sales engineers and many other InterSystems people, maybe out of compassion will report it and will get it fixed, so maybe in IRIS 2026 we will see it fixed! 😂

Fixing this does not seems to be difficult, it's just  matter of filtering/checking the XData block  before (blindly) using it as JSON map.

I'm not holding my breath....

It seems you cannot use ax XData block of "MimeType = application/json" within a class that extends %JSON.Adaptor.

Put your XData block in a different class that does not extends %JSON.Adaptor.

This may be a bug, (it looks so to me), you may want to report it to WRC.

@Julius Kavay , nice code.

But the point was "more efficiently than using a serialization/deserialization", with this code it takes more than 4 times as serialization/deserialization.

I think that using serialization/deserialization IS very efficient.

@Rodrigo Werneck , are you having performance issues? What makes you think serialization/deserialization is inefficient? Did you measure the performance in your use case?

Enrico

Do you know the function name?

Do you need the *exact* function body (including comments, formatting etc.) or just the function code?

set status = instance.OnProcessInput(classToPostHandler, .response)

You are not supposed to call the OnProcessInput() callback method directly, instead the ProcessInput() method should be called.

Sometime calling OnProcessInput() works, sometimes create problems.
