Wanted to share something I learned recently while working on a problem. We needed to add and change some Business Hosts in one of our edge productions.

In the past, we simply added the production class to CCR and then spreading it around. But there was a problem because different developers were working on different things, and we only wanted to include only the relevent production changes onto the CCR. 

Here's a little piece of code that can help add new things to an existing production:

class HSEDGE1PKG.

Question Michael Gosselin · Aug 28, 2023

I have a problem. Occasionally, I am getting locked out of IRIS because of password failures. However, the failures aren't necessarily related to my password.  We are using VSCode, and I have installed one or two proposed APIs for use with the software (because that's just how I am; I want to learn the new stuff).

Today, I had that problem again. The step that caused the problem was most likely when I was trying to switch the branch I was using and updating within VSCode. Let's say I was switching from branch "1A" to branch "2B".

Question Adam Raszkiewicz · Aug 28, 2023

When creating the db using the Properties array, if I use a literal like "/iris/db/<instance name>/<directoryname>" it's created in the correct directory.

       set Properties("Directory")="/iris/db/InstanceName/DirectoryName"

but when it's executed with a variable, as in the example below,  it gets created in /iris/sys/<instance name>/mgr/

      set directoryPath="/iris/db/InstanceName/DirectoryName"
      set Properties("Directory")=directoryPath

 Is there any reason string literals work and variables do not?

We continue with the series of articles based on the QuinielaML application.

In today's article I will describe how to work with the Embedded Python functionality available in InterSystems products.

Embedded Python allows us to use Python as a programming language within our productions, being able to take advantage of all the features available in Python. Here you can expand information about it.

Question Sean Pham · Aug 29, 2023

Testing ghostscript version 9.52 (ps2pdf command) from Cache Studio and it's taking about 1 minute to complete.  Size of EQ110823BG1001A.ps file is about 11MB.

Running from ensemble command line completed in 1 second

Not sure why it's taking so much longer to distill from Cache Studio.

Before we start talking about databases and different data models that exist, first we'd better talk about what a database is and how to use it.

A database is an organized collection of data stored and accessed electronically. It is used to store and retrieve structured, semi-structured, or raw data which is often related to a theme or activity.

At the heart of every database lies at least one model used to describe its data. And depending on the model it is based on, a database may have slightly different characteristics and store different types of data.

To write, retrieve, modify, sort, transform or print the information from the database, a software called Database Management System (DBMS) is used.

The size, capacity, and performance of databases and their respective DBMS have increased by several orders of magnitude. It has been made possible by technological advances in various areas, such as processors, computer memory, computer storage, and computer networks. In general, the development of database technology can be divided into four generations based on the data models or structure: navigational, relational, object and post-relational.

Question Dave Lancaster · Aug 25, 2023

Trying to write multiple records to a file via Record Mapper from a single inbound DFT transaction with multiple FT1 segments.  DTL with HL7 DFT inbound and Record Mapper outbound checks field values in both FT1 segment and PV1 segment within a "foreach" loop, and if criteria are met for a particular FT1 then the target fields in the record map are set with values from multiple segments (MSH, PID, PV1, and FT1).  Currently in this setup, only the last qualifying FT1 segment's fields will write to the file (if there is more than one qualifying FT1 segment).

Question Ben Spead · Aug 22, 2023

We're trying to get a little more discipline around Web Gateway change control, and deploy changes to our CSP.ini from source control.  I was wondering if anyone cared to share their best practices in this area?  There is a "RELOAD" parameter (https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cl…) which says you can put RELOAD=1 in your CSP.ini file in order to force it to automatically activate when noticed by the daemon.  

Do people use this approach, and keep RELOAD=1 stored in their CSP.ini in source control?

I have enabled Audit in Portal for monitoring license usage. 

When the system is under load, this event appears quite often :  

Event Source Event Type Event User Web Session Description
%System %Login Login UnknownUser     %Service_WebGateway 

It does not seems to cause issue with licensing , still, I am wondering why it's there and how it works (what cause such events).

After some tests (on a non production environment, not under load), here is what I have found out :

  • this event can occurs when accessing static resources like a CSS or JS file. I don't get that.

Hey, I'm working with HealthShare 2016.2 and trying to implement a custom integration using ObjectScript. I have followed the usual syntax for setting up the integration, but I keep getting an undefined variable' error. Has anyone encountered a similar issue? Here's a snippet of the code I'm using :

Question Scott Roth · Jul 8, 2019

Way back when during our Siemens LCR days we had to limit the number of characters in OBX.5 to a length of 75. That was back when we had eGate.

Now I need to do the reversal of that and take loop through a string length and split the string up into multiple OBX or NTE based on a certain length. In reading documentation $EXTRACT can do this if you know the exact length, but in this case we don't. 

So how would one loop through a string and say every 75 characters create a new OBX or NTE segment?

Thanks

Scott

Hey guys,

I do love Global Masters (and all the rewards that I get from it) and one of my favourite activities is answering quiz questions. And just now I've had a really cute question What is the result of: WRITE "99" + "cents"? which brought a smile to my face (because I do love to add questions like this to the tests for my students). This made me think that I would really like to somehow show my appreciation to the author of this question. 

Thus, I created an idea to add something like a 👍 to a quiz question.

Question Sandeep K C · Aug 23, 2023

Hi Guys,

For Login in CSP application, I am displaying custom Login page which is rendered from subclass CSS.CSP.Login that extends %CSP.Login, and also got IBA.CSP.Page that extends %CSP.Page with overridden method OnPreHTTP(). This setup is working perfectly for normal login.  

When I define Invalid login limit and enable Disable account if login limit reached in System > Security Management > System-wide Security Parameters, the users get disabled after certain invalid login attempts.
