User bio

15 + years Solutions-oriented Integration Interface Specialist with notable success directing a broad range of corporate IT initiatives while participating in planning and implementation of Integrated solutions in direct support of business objectives. Specialties: Design/Development of MS and Oracle SQL Databases, HL7 Ancillary Solutions, and Intersystem Ensemble Solutions. Integrating it all together to create a more robust environment.

While working with Intersystems Ensemble and now IRIS, I have greatly expanded my knowledge of Ensemble and Cache Object Script by asking questions and watching the Developer Community. I tend to ask questions, then figure out the answers on my own or with a little help from others.

Before Intersystems Ensemble, I spent many years as an eGate developer. Specializing in DART, JDBC, and other out of the normal odds and ends.

 If the Response you get from a REST call is a %DynamicAbstractObject, how do you know how many levels to go through? 

I tried using JSON2Persistant however the naming convention of the tree that it is building it too long for me to upload it into github, so since I have two values that I need to only retrieve I am attempting to iterate through the JSON and just extract those two values

for example, if I only want to pull the pureId and the portalURL from the response object, how can I iterate through the JSON response to get those values only?

when I attempted 

    set itr = responseData.%GetIterator()
    while itr.%GetNext(.key, .value) {
      if key = "pureID"{
        set pResponse.pureID = value
      } elseif key = "portalURL" {
        set pResponse.portalURL = value
      }
    }

both the pureID and portalURL came back blank.
