Hello friends,
Does anyone know how to make the default checked for the 'Open as read-only' setting in Caché Studio version 5.0?
InterSystems Caché is a multi-model DBMS and application server. See more details here.

Steve Glassman is on vacation today so in his place I wanted to announce the availability of a new kit for the 2016.3 Field Test. The kit details are: 2016.3.0.628.0
Most of the changes are related to DeepSee, DocDB data models and dynamic objects. You can find a complete listing here:

If I have a cache.dat file from a Windows 2012 (64-bit) machine and I want to mount it on a Caché instance running on RHEL, will it work? Assume the versions of Caché are the same.
Hi.
I'm facing a problem when I try to use the Runtime Expression below inside the XData Contents:
<html>#($$$Text("Testing!"))#</html>
It compiles correctly, but when I open the page on the browser I get the message "Expression Error" instead of "Testing!".
How could I use the $$$Text macro with Runtime Expressions? Is there a way to make this?
Thanks!
Post updated in August 2025 to include links to IRIS.
I have seen customer problems where the use of a virus scanner running over Caché or IRIS databases was causing intermittent application slowdowns and bad user response times.
This is a surprisingly common problem, so this short post is just a reminder to exclude key Caché and IRIS components from your virus scanning.
Hello, one of our application partner, is considering modernizing their old CSP laboratory portal by using Zen Mojo with Bootstrap. They have a lot of experience with COS, CSP and some ZEN. They are new to REST/JSON and have some limited knowledge of javascript - perhaps not enough to the extent used by client framework.
NewBie's Corner Session: 5 Operator Precedence
Welcome to NewBie's Corner, a weekly or biweekly post covering basic Caché Material.
Click on the Caché Cube in your system tray and select Terminal to try out the commands.
Order Precedence means the order in which mathematical operators are executed. In a Mathematical expression, you may have Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction, and Division. Which of these are executed first, second, third, etc.?
The basic Operator Precedence of mathematics is:
Multiplication and Division has precedence over Addition and Subtraction
Hi,
Our Cache server(version 5.0.15) has recently crashed. We are in the process of recovery. We had replaced the server's hard disk and trying to install the cache(5.0.15) But getting the following error. Any body show some light on the issue.
CctrlInstallStartCP( CACHE ) failed! Return value: 1 CctrlGetLastError() returned:
Hi everyone!
I am helping a partner to develop a new application and one of the things we are facing is that this WEB application will be used on different time zones.
My first recommendation is that all timestamps should be drawn from $ZTimeStamp instead of $Horolog. That would allow the system to be draw the correct sequence of events even when they are generated on different timezones.
Hi!
I am trying to create a %Installer script and I noticed from our documentation that %Installer's <CSPAuthentication> will only accept:
<CSPApplication> Optional; within <Namespace>. Defines one or more CSP applications; the supported authentication flags are 4 (Kerberos), 32 (Password), and 64 (Unauthenticated).
Is "Delegated" authentication supported? What is it's code?
Kind regards,
Amir Samary
NewBie's Corner Session 4 The Plus Sign and Concatenation Operators
Welcome to NewBie's Corner, a weekly or biweekly post covering basic Caché Material.
Click on the Caché Cube in your system tray and select Terminal to try out the commands.
Plus Sign (+) operator
Typically, the Plus sign (+) adds two numbers together. This is true in COS (Caché ObjectScript), but COS uses it in other ways as well.
Set the variable X to a value of +12
Set X=+12
Write X
12
Set the variable X to the value of +"ABC"
Set X=+"ABC "
Write X
0
Hi everyone!
I am trying to choose the best collation for a new application that will be running on a spanish locale (Chile).
I can see there are database collations for Spanish1, Spanish2, Spanish4 and Spanish5. What is the difference between them? I can't find anything on our documentation. Should I simply choose the latest (Spanish5)?
Kind regards,
Amir Samary

Hi -
Let's say I want to override the HTML that is generated by provided ZEN Mojo Helper Plugins I use the onloadHandler method of my document page, retrieving elements, and modifying them using jQuery syntax.
For example, I'm using bootstrap, and, I want the <button> element automatically generated with the use of the $navbar layout object, to collapse/expand a different <DIV> on my page, to the default one it produces.
Is this the correct spot and approach to use ?
thanks
Steve
Good morning, I am using a tableNavigatorBar on a tablepane. I want to execute the onselectrow method of the tablepane each time the tableNavigatorBar is used to proceed to a tablepane record. Has anyone connected these two component in this way before? Thank you for any hints, input and/or comments.
I am playing with json output from result sets
I've generated a dynamic resultset and now doing the json and I can get Array's with nested Objects but I'm trying to get to Objects nested with another object
s mainObj = ##class(%Object).$new()
set array=[]
While (result.Next()) {
s object = ##class(%Object).$new()
s object.id = result.Data("ID"
s object.reg = result.Data("Registration")
s object.snNum = result.Data("SatNavVehNumber")
do array.$push(object)
}
w !!,array.$toJSON()

Hello!
I am trying to install Caché 2016 on a Debian Jessie machine; so I downloaded the latest release from WRC, OS RHEL x86_64, in tarball format.
I untarred it, then launched cinstall; unfortunately a library was missing. I then elected to kill all the processes (which wasn't easy), remove the two users created, and start again.
Unfortunately, for some reason, when I relaunch the install again, the install process still detects the old instance which I installed previously... And I cannot find where this information came from (I removed the install directory by hand entirely).
Consider a design where there could be three or four or more servers and there is a need to have these eventually consistent between them all (and not considering database mirroring here).
The current Caché documentation here demonstrates this well using object synchronization between two servers, however it doesn't indicate whether more than two servers can participate to create a "mesh type" deployment. Below is a diagram of what I'm curious to know is possible to implement with Object Synchronization.
Hi All,
I am providing support to an AP about using document criteria on Multiple Templates (Explicit Dispatch).
I am trying to set the criteria value from:
view.setDocumentKey('initial-search',{patirntId:tPatId});However it is not possible to get the criteria value on %GetJSONContent through pCriteria parameter object.
How can I do this with Multiple Templates on bootstrap plugin?
Thanks.
NewBie's Corner Session 2 Variables Set and Write commands
Welcome to NewBie's Corner, a weekly or biweekly post covering basic Caché Material.
Session 2 – Click on the Caché Cube in your system tray and select Terminal to try out the commands.
Variables
Like other computer programming languages, Caché uses Variables and the values they represent to control programming. Variables are elements that represent data values. Manipulating and interrogating variables is at the root of programming.

Hello, our customer, large industrial company, is considering modernizing their old CSP application so it can run on multiple client device types, using responsive design.
They have a lot of experience with CSP and some ZEN.
They are new to REST and have some limited knowledge of javascript - perhaps not enough to the extent used by client framework.
Does anyone have a framework or a set of templates that you would be willing to share?
Thank you!

I have an sql that is refusing to play fairly.
I have
- tuned affected tables
- made sure I'm on the latest version (2016.1)
- got enough global buffers
- tried forcing the sql to use outliers correctly
Still nothing. here's the SQL
Hello,
I'm trying to connect to a Caché server from Atelier; the Caché server is 2015.x.
The address and port I'm trying to connect to is the SQL gateway server; and I get, each time, an "unexpected end of file from server".
Note that unfortunately, for the moment, I connect as _system... And the Caché install has the default privileges.
What am I doing wrong?
This is a bit weird. I'm trying to use `DATEDIFF()` to calculate the time since the last message on an interface. For some reason, when no messages are received, the number steadily decreases. This is the opposite of what should happen. Here is my current query and a few sequential result sets:
SELECT getDate() as now, max(TimeCreated) as latest, DATEDIFF (s,getdate(), max(TimeCreated)) as difference FROM EnsLib_HL7.Message
Hi,
If you want to import data from a mySQL export file (exported with mysqldump), you will find here a little script that could help.
Only the INSERT commands in the sql file are executed into Caché. Indices are not computed for better performance.
%NOINDEX, %NOCHECK and %NOLOCK are generated on each INSERT line.
Currently, the file can not contain a "),(" pattern inside the values part of the INSERT command. If this is the case, the line is skipped. This feature may be implemented in the extractValuesList method.
Good day, Cache developers and users!
At first, sorry for my bad English -) I have a little question.
Hi -
I'm trying to figure out what is the best (or at least pros & cons) on how to manage login accounts in a multi-tenant SaaS web based application context.
Assume that a company is designing a collections of web based applications that they will be selling as "services" to their clients, and that these clients will each have their own "users" and "customers" that will be logging into these services.
Often when debugging COS code you get an error message such as '<UNDEFINED>test^routine *test' so the first thing you want to do is to take a look at this code and see what it is doing. From the command line you can:
ZLOAD routine ZPRINT test
Which means splitting the $zerror information into the routine name and the line and adding the zload/zprint commands. Also you often want to view the lines above the one where the error happened as this gives you some context of how you got to this line, using ZPRINT you could 'ZPRINT +1:test' but that may display hundreds of lines.
