NewBie's Corner Session 20 Parameters and Status Part I

Welcome to NewBie's Corner, a weekly or biweekly post covering basic Caché Material.

Parameters

Parameters are another name for Variables when used in passing data from one Routine to another.

Let us say we have 2 routines (RtnA and RtnB), and we want to pass 3 parameters (Parm1, Parm2, Parm3) from RtnA to RtnB.

RtnA would look like:

RtnA

                Set Parm1 = "Value for Parm1"

                Set Parm2 = "Value for Parm2"

                Set Parm3 = "Value for Parm3"

Hi All,

We are doing capacity planning. I want to track the number of rows and size of each table (or at least the top ~10). Any ideas?

Thanks

Welcome to NewBie's Corner, a weekly or biweekly post covering basic Caché Material.

MUMPS verses Caché, what's the difference?

MUMPS was developed at Massachusetts General Hospital during the 1960s. Through a series of experiences and companies over the years eventually MUMPS evolved into Caché. Some deny this but the facts are there. You can read through the various websites with Wikipedia and make up your own mind. The closest way to explain this is that Caché is a superset of MUMPS.

MUMPS is both a programming language and a hierarchical database, that is important to remember.

Hi!

I am about to configure a server with continuous integration for a client. I found that our Russian friends have again come up to the rescue and developed not one, but two continuous integration tools for Git and Caché:

• https://github.com/intersystems-ru/CacheGitHubCI
• https://github.com/intersystems-ru/CacheUpdater

My question is simple: What are the most important differences between the two and which one is going forward so I can choose the right one?

Kind regards,

Amir Samary

Hi, I have a question about web applications.

First, I know that my ZEN application is using a web application called /OurAppName, but I honestly don't know why it's choosing that web application over the default of /csp/default-namespace, so if you can give me a hint as to how else the web application is set, please do let me know.  I'd also love to see the web application's properties programmatically, if possible (such as the physical files path).

Our other web applications are called /OurAppName/NAMESPACE rather than /csp/namespace.

Hello Fellow Cache Developers:  

Has anyone ever created an index on values of a list property?   If so, would you be willing to share an example?

Also, feel free to offer input and suggestions regarding use of indexes on List values.

Here is my database scenario:

Parent Class:

PropertyA - %String  

PropertyB - %Integer 

Child Class:

PropertyC - %Integer

PropertyD - list of %Integer

Data illustration:

PropertyA + PropertyB   maps to one or more occurrences of [PropertyC + list of values for PropertyD]

ABC + 90001000    maps to  6600012113 + list (86001000, 86982277, 86982271)

I know that Cache files can be stored as XML and UDL based files. Is there any way to determine in which format the file(class, routine, dfi and so on) is stored? Because you can easily name your XML based file as class.cls and it will be perfectly valid. 

I know that one way to check whether this file is in XML format is just try to parse it like 

Set st = ##class(%XML.TextReader).ParseStream(contentStream)

if $$$ISERR(st) return $$$NO

else return $$$YES

However, is there a better way? 

Following my previous post, some urged me to get to the point – ok, so I found my "star" journaling globals, the ones that take up the most space – but how do I avoid this? How do I minimize the journal's size?

[DISCLAIMER: Some might still be disappointed after this post as well  but wait till the next one... ]

Hi all,

We have one doubt regarding cache 5.02 installation.

What is the difference b/w custom and standard installation in cache 5.02?

Thanks,

Sansa.

I want to use the Regex Matcher to strip HTML tags, but I get a REGEX error. Can anyone explain what I'm doing wrong?

set htmlSnippet = "<h1>Hello</h1>"
set regex = ##class(%Regex.Matcher).%New()
set regex.Text = htmlSnippet
set regex.Pattern = "<[^>]*>"
set plainText = regex.ReplaceAll(" ")
write !,plainText

Hello,

Has anyone encountered or done this: inherit a zen page from another custom zen page?

e.g. EditPage extends %ZEN.Component.page

///base code, some abstract methods

Property id;

UserEditPage extends EditPage

//user edit code

Property id As %String [ZENURL = "ID];

I'd like to take advantage of the inheritance and put all the common methods in the parent page EditPage, but there's no %OnNew concept for the zen page, so I can't set properties for each child page when first creating it.  

I am going to start playing with Zen Mojo (again) and as I understand it there are two ways to manage moving data to/from your Zen Mojo page:

• interacting with REST services
• using Mojo's built-in transport

I would like to understand the pros and cons of each approach.  Which is recommended in different situations and why?  I would like to create a sample application that will hopefully be reusable and helpful to others and I would like to  understand which approach to pick for my app. 

In the experience of the Community, how do the above two approach compare in terms of:

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to authenticate a user(Health Share clinician) from a Java Application. 

I 'm already connected to Caché and able to run SQL commands.

My question is: How can I authenticate a user using only SQL? In fact, what I want is verify if the users exists in the base and if the given password is the same used in Health Share.

There is a column 'password' in Security.users table but I'm not able to see its content, even so, I don't know which hash function to use to compare with.

Hi, everybody
I am newbie at OSX and I am trying to install Cache on my mac

NewBie's Corner Session 18 Caché or Cache

Welcome to NewBie's Corner, a weekly or biweekly post covering basic Caché Material.

Caché and Cache

Caché and Cache are not the same. Caché is a product offered by InterSystems. Whereas Cache refers to memory storage.
In computing, a cache /ˈkæʃ/ KASH, is a hardware or software component that stores data so future requests for that data can be served faster; the data stored in a cache might be the result of an earlier computation, or the duplicate of data stored elsewhere.

The FT keys InterSystems currently make available to us in the zips from the download pages are due to expire at the end of this month (31-Aug-16). Will there be new keys soon?

Also wondering when we might expect new FT builds for 2016.2 and 2016.3. The last published ones were 24-Jun-16 and 16-Jun-16 respectively.

I haven't seen an Atelier update for a while either.

InterSystems is pleased to announce that Caché and Ensemble 2016.1.2 are now available as maintenance releases.

For a complete list of the corrections in 2016.1.2, please review the release notes.

Caché and Ensemble 2016.1.2 are available for the same platforms as 2016.1.1.  The complete set of supported platforms, including specific point releases and patches, is detailed in the Supported Platforms document.

The HealthShare team will announce availability of its products separately.

The build corresponding to this release is 2016.1.2.206.0

Hi, all. I have CSP application and it needs to get and process data from ajax request with json-content. JSON can be very big. In this case: TRY { Set RequestObj = ##class(%Object).$fromJSON(%request.Content.Read()) } CATCH(Exception) { Set Status=Exception.AsStatus() } I get just part of getting JSON and validate error in $fromJSON. If I try to read it all in cycle: TRY { While (%request.Content.AtEnd = 0) { Set Data=Data_%request.Content.Read() } Set RequestObj = ##class(%Object).$fromJSON(Data) } CATCH(Exception) { Set Status=Exception.AsStatus() } I get <MAXSTRING> error. Increasing of

Let's imagine I have a global like this:

^Users(12, "SETTINGS", "IsAllowed") = 1

^Users(41, "SETTINGS", "IsAllowed") = 0

^Users(52, "SETTINGS", "IsAllowed") = 1

Now I would like to check for each user whether they are allowed, therefore I'd need to iterate through the Global. How to do that? It seems that I can't use $Order here like such:

S FF = ""
For {
 S FF=$O(^Users(FF,"SETTINGS","isAllowed"))
 Q:$L(FF)
 W "User ",FF," is allowed",!
}

Is there any other way of doing this? 

Dear Sir ,

               how to i run csp file . sometime csp file runs as at a time appear "Error  #670: could not attach to target".How to solve it.  Thank you

Hi All,Now I installed the Cache 5.0 that terminal is not open can any one know the default username and password for Cache 5.0

Hello, guys.

I need to find all web files, get their content in UDL format and to be able to export them. And, vice versa, to be able to import them in udl format.

I know that they are located in CSP folder. However, is there any way to do this using COS functions?

Hello community!

Is there any method/property/way in Caché to obtain something like unique identifier for installed Caché system? The idea is to get the identifier that will differ on any other installation/machine/etc, but will forever remain the same for the current installation, even if $zv changes (in case of update) or any data is removed from the database.

Hi -

I have 3 classes: "Class A" has a property X, "Class B" has a property which is a Class A, and I have a "Class C" which has a property of a Class B.

Class A definition

Class USER.ClassA Extends %Persistent

{

Property Propx as %String;

}

Class B definition

Class USER.ClassB Extends %Persistent

{

Property Record as USER.ClassA;

}

Class C defintion (which is where I'm having my problem)

Class USER.ClassC Extends %Persistent

{

Property BRecord As USER.ClassB;

Property ARecord As USER.ClassA [ Calculated, SqlComputeCode = { ????? }, SqlComputed ];

Method ARecordGet() as USER.ClassA

{

 quit ..BRecord.ARecord

}

}

write "5apples" + "7 orange" //Ans :12

Values are string , why  add numeric value . its an error or correct . please tell me.

I ran %GSIZE and my ^cacheStream global is very large. How do I go about 

1. Evaluating what data is in the global.

2. Clean it up.

Thanks!

Has anyone configured Zen Reports/FOP to support png images? If you have, could you please share the library that you used, the configuration required, and whether it was worth it (vs converting images to one of the natively supported formats)?

I try it with the COLLATE instruction, but doesn't work.

Any ideas ?

Tkanks.

Hi,

We are trying to implement a client side data provider as a component (ZEN) that will use JQuery to do rest calls to a desired URL, in this case, a %CSP.Rest service implemented by ourselves.

This component will be used within our application that is authenticated with a correct user configured on Caché management portal and therefore using one license unit. As we are using a Ajax call from client side this connection creates a new session that will use a new license.
