The task is to find all globals that are referenced in certain routines. I could search for ^ using class(%Studio.Project).FindInFiles but that would also find ^ in comments and function calls. I can distinguish between a global and a function call visually, but it would be lovely to be able to skip function calls programmatically. Is it possible?

Hello,

So i want to use the INSERT OR UPDATE command so i can update a COUNTER for a given name:

INSERT OR UPDATE myTable
SET name='Omer', counter = counter + 1;


as you can see with the above code - if the row is non-existent then we get an error because COUNTER is NULL!
I tried the following to fix this but all have failed:

Hello everyone,
so lets say i have the following:

Hello
Q
say(arg)
w arg
Q


and i am trying to execute it by its name such as:


s a = "say^hello"

*execute the name inside a*

now I know for a fact that if say were written without any argument then do @a would work!

but I can I pass an argument in this case?
I don't want to use Xecute because I am in need of really high performance code.

I assume IPM manifest tag UnitTest is tightly coupled with the standard unit test framework, right? However we have our own one that predates the standard one and we are not going to switch.

I think I need to import the unit test cases and then be able to run a single class method for the test run. Any ideas how this would be possible?

Determine Job/Process State

Hi, I'm working on a large extraction from a database and need to parallelize the processes during the extraction.

Here's what happens:

  1. The user starts the extraction from.
  2. Several jobs are started using the Job <Method> instruction.

At the end, the user expects to find a document containing the results of all the extractions. What I'd like to do is start a new job that checks whether the previously started jobs have finished or are still working and consequently produce the document.

Search in all namespaces

Hi Team,

Is there a way to search for a string or use of a function in all namespaces in one go.

Studio option "Search in files"/Ctrl+shift+F search all files in the current namespace. We have 13 namespaces and wanted to know if there is an easy way to search in all namespaces in one go.

Thank you for your help

Hello every one, here in our company we are trying to develop a tool to help us in our "Code Review" that today is completely done for another developer.

So I need to develope a tool that reads a class/routine (Already done) and identify if in the current line there is some abbreviated command, that is against our policy of codification, for example:

s variable = "test"
d ..SomeMethod()

So in this cases I want to warn the original developer that the code has parts that need to change the "s" to "Set" and de "d" to "Do".

I have a question about using OnInit() within a Ens.BusinessOperation.

When you include OnInit(), does OnInit() only execute when you start a Business Operation? Or does it execute OnInit () every time you send a REST request to the operation. I am trying to pinpoint when the best time is to execute the POST command to get the Token

I am needing to get a Bearer Token from a REST POST call and return the Authorization key prior to making the rest of the REST calls to pull down data.

We're looking to create a quick and simple test to see if all firewalls are open on 1972 between a linux based web server VM and a VM running InterSystems IRIS. Does anyone have any ideas for a quick command that can be run from UNIX console that will provide confirmation that traffic is able to get to 1972 on an IRIS machine?

BTW - I don't think it makes any difference but the IRIS machine is running Windows
