The resulting XML files can be imported again using %System.OBJ.Load().

If you prefer GOF format you can use %Global.Export() instead, however it doesn't accept wildcards so you would need to first put together a list of which globals you want to export.

For automation you can execute these methods from your own custom class or routine. If you want to schedule it to run automatically, you can create your custom class as a %SYS.Task.Definition and schedule it to run using Task Manager.

You're correct -- you can't restore specific globals from an Online Backup (.cbk) file.

Have a look at %System.OBJ.Export():

TESTING>s itm="*.GBL"
TESTING>s file="C:\Projects\export_mm.xml"
TESTING>d $System.OBJ.Export(.itm,.file,,.errors)

Having said that, since this is just for backups you might also consider just using the standard Online Backup utility which will backup all globals in the selected database(s) into a file:

Here's a (very simple) working example of uploading to an AWS S3 bucket. I used essentially the same approach that Cliff originally used to generate the hex. I didn't experience the same problem, but I may have just been lucky and not had any zeroes in the value I'm converting.

Yes, you can loop through items in your source document and generate one HL7 message for each. 

In this case the looping would be done in a business process (BPL), and you would call the transformation once for each outbound HL7 message.

Have you tried setting "DefCharEncoding" to UTF-8 in the settings for EnsLib.HL7.Operation.HTTPOperation?

Here are the details from the popup-help. Especially note the highlighted line. Using "!UTF-8" will cause the operation to ignore what's in MSH:18 and always use UTF-8.

Default Character Encoding to use when reading or writing HL7 messages.
If MSH field 18 (Character Set) is empty, this encoding will be used. Choices you can use for this setting include:

Native: Use the default character encoding of the installed locale of the IRIS server.
latin1: The ISO Latin1 8-bit encoding. This is the default.
ISO-8859-1: The ISO Latin1 8-bit encoding.
UTF-8: The Unicode 8-bit encoding.
Unicode: The Unicode 16-bit encoding (Little-Endian).
UnicodeBig: The Unicode 16-bit encoding (Big-Endian).
Any other NLS definitions installed on this IRIS server.
@<ttable>: <ttable> means a raw InterSystems character translation table name. A prefix of '@' means to use the named table.
Putting ! before the encoding name will force the use of the named encoding and will ignore any value found in MSH:18.

Hi Joseph,

I developed something like this for a POC last year. It includes wizards to generate Business Services and Business Operations and related message objects based on a source query or stored procedure.

It's not currently in a state where I can share it, but I'm planning to eventually clean it up and post it on Open Exchange. I'll let you know when I do.

What about setting "Reply Code Actions" to "E=D" and enabling "Alert on Error"?

From the reply code actions help text:
"D - Disable the Process, log an error and restore the original incoming message to the front of the Process's queue."

For current versions, the approach I've seen customers use is to create a business operation using the HL7 or XML outbound file adapter. In Message Viewer you can then "resend" the messages you want to the new business operation.

I'm happy to say that we've added a way to download multiple messages directly from Message Viewer. This hasn't been released yet but will be soon. For more details on this and other upcoming features, have a look at this presentation.

Hi Guillaume,

Here's some rough code showing how to use executeParametersBatch. I put this together from a few other working examples I had but I haven't tested this actual code and it may have bugs.

As always, this is provided as sample code only and is not meant for production use :)

-Marc
 

set pSQLStatement="INSERT INTO Test.Table (Field1,Field2) VALUES (?,?)"

// JDBCGwy is an instance of the JDBC Gateway object. EnsLib.SQL.OutboundAdapter instantiates this automatically and stores a reference to it in ..%Connection.%JGProxy

// Prepare the SQL statement
set pHS=JDBCGwy.prepareStatement(ConnHandle,pSQLStatement)

// executeParametersBatch expects tArgs to be a $LIST, with the following format:
//     ParamCount, ParamSets, Type1, Param1, Type2, Param2, Type3, Param3, Type11,Param11… TypeNN,ParamNN
// 
// ParamCount is the number of parameters the query expects (in this example 2) 
// ParamSets is the number of rows we will be inserting in this batch
// Type1, Type2, ..., TypeN is an integer indicating the JDBC data type for the corresponding Param value (e.g. Param1, Param2, ..., ParamN)
// Param1, Param2, ..., ParamN is the value for the query parameter

set $LIST(tArgs,1)=2  // The query has two parameters ("?") in it
set $LIST(tArgs,2)=3  // We will insert 3 rows in this batch

// Row 1 -------------------------------------------------------------

//    Set the value for the first column (Field1VarChar)
set $LIST(tArgs,3)=12 // The JDBC data type for varchar is 12
set $LIST(tArgs,4)="String value 1" // Value for column Field1VarChar

//    Set the value for the second column (Field2Integer)
set $LIST(tArgs,5)=4 // The JDBC data type for integer is 4
set $LIST(tArgs,6)=7 // Value for column Field2Integer

// Row 2 -------------------------------------------------------------

//    Set the value for the first column (Field1VarChar)
set $LIST(tArgs,7)=12 // The JDBC data type for varchar is 12
set $LIST(tArgs,8)="String value 2" // Value for column Field1VarChar

//    Set the value for the second column (Field2Integer)
set $LIST(tArgs,9)=4 // The JDBC data type for integer is 4
set $LIST(tArgs,10)=123 // Value for column Field2Integer

// Row 3 -------------------------------------------------------------

//    Set the value for the first column (Field1VarChar)
set $LIST(tArgs,11)=12 // The JDBC data type for varchar is 12
set $LIST(tArgs,12)="String value 3" // Value for column Field1VarChar

//    Set the value for the second column (Field2Integer)
set $LIST(tArgs,13)=4 // The JDBC data type for integer is 4
set $LIST(tArgs,14)=54 // Value for column Field2Integer


// Perform the batch insert
// tResultCodes is a $LIST of integers indicating success/failure for each row in the batch
set tResultCodes=JDBCGwy.executeParametersBatch(pHS,tArgs)
 

You can do this with the $CLASSMETHOD function in ObjectScript:

https://docs.intersystems.com/latest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY...

ClassMethod someMethod(className As %String)
{
	set classObject = $CLASSMETHOD(className,"%New")

...
}

This won't help you in the short term, but upcoming versions will include a nice feature to export messages from the message search page. For more details, have a look at this presentation from this year's InterSystems Global Summit.

https://learning.intersystems.com/course/view.php?id=1015

For the short term, most people use the suggestion from @Julian Matthews of adding a new file out business operation and resending the messages to it.

Some business operations that use EnsLib.File.OutboundAdapter will pull the value for %f from a property in the request object. This would allow you to set that property in a DTL before sending it to the business operation.

But, it looks like you're using EnsLib.XML.Object.Operation.FileOperation, which doesn't do this. It uses the class name of the inbound object as the value for %f.

To create a filename programmatically with EnsLib.XML.Object.Operation.FileOperation, you can create a custom class that extends EnsLib.XML.Object.Operation.FileOperation and override the OnMessage() method. 

The relevant line in the standard OnMessage method is this. You can replace this with your custom logic:

    // Create output filename using the class name of the persistent class as the base.
    Set tFilename=..Adapter.CreateFilename($classname(pRequest),..Filename)
