Question Mikhail Khomenko · Nov 1, 2021

Globals export exclusion

#InterSystems IRIS

Hello everyone,
I'd like to export Ensemble globals, but without Ensemble messages, this way:

^^database>s list("Ens*.gbl,'Ens.Message*.gbl")=""
^^database>write $SYSTEM.OBJ.Export(.list, "/tmp/globals.xml")

Documentation says that it could be done by adding an apostrophe, but it doesn't work for me - all Ens* globals are still exported.
What I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

'Ens.Message*.gbl

Exclusion does not work with * 

and GBL should be upper case

Thank you for response!
But it looks like documentation should be updated in that case as it provides such an example -)

You can also use ? or * wild cards and if you wish to exclude items pass ' before the item name which also supports wild card, e.g. "User.*.cls,'User.T*.cls".

Hello Mikhail,

It looks like on IRIS 2021.1, global exports don't support wildcard exclusions, but they do work for class exports (as the class reference example suggests).

$SYSTEM.OBJ.Export can handle many different item types - I'll put in a request that we narrow the documentation.

Hello Vic,
Thank you for response!
Unfortunately, this also doesn't work for me (uppercase GBL & no wildcard in exclusion):

^^data_dir>set list("Ens*.GBL,'Ens.MessageBodyD.GBL")=""
^^data_dir>write $SYSTEM.OBJ.Export(.list, "/tmp/globals.xml")

Btw, I'm using IRIS 2020:

IRIS for UNIX (Ubuntu Server LTS for x86-64 Containers) 2020.1 (Build 215U)

I'll pass that along as well.

This total ODD !  But it works.
The list doesn't allow Carret ^ for the positive Globals
for globals to skip Carret ^ is required !!!


ENS>set list="Ens.*.GBL,'^Ens.Me*.GBL,'^Ens.C*.GBL"
ENS>ENS>set sc=$system.OBJ.Export(.list)
;; output skipped ;;
ENS>ZWRITE    ;processed Globals
list("^Ens.ActiveMessage.gbl")=""
list("^Ens.AppData.gbl")=""
list("^Ens.BP.ContextD.gbl")=""
list("^Ens.BP.ThreadD.gbl")=""
list("^Ens.BP.ThreadI.gbl")=""
list("^Ens.BusinessProcessD.gbl")=""
list("^Ens.BusinessProcessI.gbl")=""
list("^Ens.Debug.gbl")=""
list("^Ens.DocClassMap.gbl")=""
list("^Ens.JobStatus.gbl")=""
list("^Ens.Mirror.gbl")=""
list("^Ens.Queue.gbl")=""
list("^Ens.Rule.gbl")=""
list("^Ens.Util.IOLogD.gbl")=""
list("^Ens.Util.IOLogI.gbl")=""
list("^Ens.Util.LogD.gbl")=""
list("^Ens.Util.LogI.gbl")=""
list("^Ens.Util.ScheduleD.gbl")=""
sc=1
My interpretation:
First, a local array is collected, and then the negated subscripts are deleted (requiring now ^   !!)

Wow. Great investigation. But definitely not what I would name "intuitive"
