Remote path should be just:

set remotePath="/NEW.txt"

That said, this error

Ошибка '-2147014836': A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.   

looks like you don't have the network connectivity. Have you tried to connect with Putty from the same server as Ensemble?

Docs specify that Connect should come before Authentication.

Try this code:

Try {
    Set ssh = ##class(%Net.SSH.Session).%New()

    Set sc = ssh.Connect(host)
    Write:$$$ISERR(sc) "Connect:", $System.Status.GetErrorText(sc),!
    
    Set sc = ssh.AuthenticateWithUsername(username, password)
    Write:$$$ISERR(sc) "Auth: ", $System.Status.GetErrorText(sc), !
    
    #dim sftp As %Net.SSH.SFTP
    Set sc = ssh.OpenSFTP(.sftp)
    Write:$$$ISERR(sc) "SFTP: ", $System.Status.GetErrorText(sc), !
    
    Set sc = sftp.Dir("/", .contents, , $$$YES)
    Write:$$$ISERR(sc) "Dir: ", $System.Status.GetErrorText(sc), !
    
    Zwrite contents
    
    //If 'sftp.Disconnect() Write "Failed to logout",!

} Catch ex {
    Set sc = ex.AsStatus()
    Write "Exception: ", ex.DisplayString(), !
}

%JSON.Adaptor does not construct an intermediate dynamic object. You can use %ObjectToAET to convert normal object into dynamic object:

set dynObj = ##class(%ZEN.Auxiliary.altJSONProvider).%ObjectToAET(obj)

There are two approaches:

1. Create a "result set" class to hold the results (interestingly, InterSystems provides %XML.DataSet and other tools for this specific use case with XML/SOAP. Docs):

Class Test.JSONRS Extends (%RegisteredObject, %JSON.Adaptor)
{
Property count As %Integer;
Property results As list Of Book;
}

2. Simple approach:

  • Output header {"results": 3, "items": [
  • Call %JSONExport on each book (don't forget the comma at the end)
  • Output footer ]}

Despite being hacky, the second approach is better:

  • If JSON export on each individual object is successful it works every time and if some object fails we won't get valid a JSON anyways
  • It can be easily generalized to use with any type of result
  • It does not hold a large structure in memory as each object is loaded/displayed individually.

That said, I generally recommend against supplying count in query results because of many reasons:

So %Dictionary.CacheClassname would be my table name then?

Well, class name. If you want you can convert table name to class name with:

set:table'["." table=$$$DefaultSchema_"."_table	// support unqualified names
set class = $$$GetClassNameFromIQN(table)

I don't have to use any :sql.... type code for it to do the lookup? 

You can but you don't have to.

What about the existing EXISTS function that already exists that is used for Data Lookup Tables (lut)?

It's a separate function that works only with Data Lookup Table  (which are actually not tables at all).
