Overview

We started to use Azure Service Bus (ASB) as an enterprise messaging solution 3 years ago. It is being used to publish and consume data between many applications in the organization. Since the data flow is complex, and one application’s data is usually needed in multi applications the “publisher” ---> ”multiple subscribers” model was a great fit. The ASB usage in the organization is dozens of millions of messages per day, while IRIS platform is having around 2-3 million messages/day.

Each business component in Ensemble picks up its allocated jobs from a pool, and the Pool Size setting for each component determines how many jobs each component can work on each time. In this article we will be specifically discussing different Pool Size settings for Business Processes.

                Pool Size = 1

If a Business Process has its Pool Size set to 1, the messages are processed by the Business Process First-In First-Out (FIFO). This setting gives one job to the Business Process at a time.

InterSystems is pleased to announce that the extended maintenance releases of InterSystems IRIS, InterSystems IRIS for Health, and HealthShare Health Connect 2022.1.1 are now available. These releases provide a few selected features and bug fixes for the 2022.1.0 releases.

Introduction

This is the fifth part of the series of articles on migrating from the main databases on the market to InterSystems IRIS. In this part, the procedures for migrating from Oracle Database 21c will be detailed. As described in previous articles, there are currently a few options for how to do the migration, but the two most popular ones include the use of DBeaver (https://openexchange.intersystems.com/package/DBeaver) or SQLGateway.

Hello ALL!

I am having trouble fining a way to derive (a list, an array, a file doesnt matter yet how it returns) ALL of the targets of a routing rule.

For example lets say I have:

• a router of class: EnsLib.MsgRouter.RoutingEngine
• Business Rule: HappyRRN
• 1 rule set having 5 rules that each send to 1 DTL and 1 Operation (5 targets total)

My intent is to use some utlities we have created to disable all of the target operations of this router if the router errors out.

To do that I need the list of target operations.

I suppose i could load the acutal .

Apache Web Gateway with Docker

Hi, community.

In this article, we will programmatically configure an Apache Web Gateway with Docker using:

• HTTPS protocol.
• TLS\SSL to secure the communication between the Web Gateway and the IRIS instance.

We will use two images: one for the Web Gateway and the second one for the IRIS instance.

All necessary files are available in this GitHub repository.

Let’s start with a git clone:

git clone https://github.com/lscalese/docker-webgateway-sample.

Hi Devs!

Is there a way to get a Global that contains pesistence data for a class?

In early versions of IRIS it was classname_"D", like ^Sample.PersonD. Now, at least in IRIS 2022.1  it is something random.

Hi developers!

Those who code IRIS solutions in VSCode using Docker often use the convenient ObjectScript menu, which contains links to Management Portal, Class Reference, Unittest portal, Productions, etc.

While drilling down to a Dev Container to code Embedded Python there is no such option, at least within my settings:

So I don't know how to connect to it. 

Thoughts?

Hi Community, 

Let me introduce the latest update on the Global Masters gamification hub! 
We reorganized the challenges under the "Challenge" tab - now all the challenges are sorted into channels (folders). We hope that will help new people navigate the hub and easier find the most relevant challenges. Home page remains the same. Check it out! 

If you have any feedback / ideas - please let us know :)

Hi developers!

Let me share with you a minimal embedded python template, that I can recommend as a starting point for any general project with InterSystems IRIS that will use embedded python.

Features:

• Embedded Python ready;
• Examples of 3 ways of Embedded python development;
• VSCode development ready;
• Docker enabled;
• Online demo enabled;
• ZPM First development ready.

Let's discuss the features below!

The new production component driver for Deltanji enables highly granular management of InterSystems Interoperability Productions with tight integration into the management portal. We presented it at the InterSystems UK&I summit this week and it received a great reception. 

It solves the current pain-point of Interoperability Productions being defined in a single monolithic class definition. Deltanji source control increases the granularity with which items can be managed. Instead of versioning a single class definition containing all the configuration items, this new component driver allows individual configuration items to be managed separately. Each configuration item has its own versioning and revision history and can be checked-out, checked-in, and deployed independently of any other items in the same Production.

Because each configuration item within a production class is managed by Deltanji as a first-class component in its own right, Deltanji provides all the source control, versioning, and workflow capabilities that it provides for any other component.

Watch the below clip to see it in action. 

We'll be talking about this new feature in more detail at our User Group Session on November 3rd at 3pm (GMT). Register your attendance on Eventbrite here - https://bit.ly/3yqzfvS

Hi, devs!

What's the way to call the methods of %SYSTEM class from python?

I tried this way:

print(iris.cls('_SYSTEM.OBJ').Version())

and getting an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
RuntimeError: iris.class: error finding class

Here is how it works in ObjectScript:

USER>w##class(%SYSTEM.OBJ).Version()
InterSystems IRIS Version 2022.1.0.209
USER>

Thoughts?

Hi Community,

In this video, you will learn how our financial services customers are using InterSystems IRIS to connect to a range of internal and external systems and sources to deliver a 360-degree view of a business and accelerate digital transformation initiatives:

⏯ What's New in Financial Services @ Global Summit 2022

I am trying to troubleshoot an issue I am having with the JDBC Gateway Server crashing at the %SYS level. I have numerous Linked Tables that are using JDBC to connect to a MS SQL database/tables to query values. I have written queries in other class files and within the class definition of the linked table to do the queries.

1. Should I be running the query in the class definition of the linked table as a class method? or is it best practice to run the query as a class method outside of the class definition of the linked table?

2. I was reading documentation and came across the Config.

Recently viewed a demo on the new Dynamic Objects in InterSystems (we are still running 2016.1); together with the upcoming IRIS data platform I started thinking about possibilities of building dynamic databases. That is, I can imagine some projects were it might be really nice to store dynamic objects and then run sql queries on them without ever defining the fields of the dynamic objects (i.e. not at storage, but only if you run your sql query). If there is any system where this might be possible it is InterSystems Cache.

Hi folks!

I'm playing with Embedded python with IRIS trying to do some 'hello-world' exercises.

I'm running IRIS in container and have the following python code:

# Program to test coding with IRIS

print('Hello World')

# Run IRIS Class Method import iris
print(iris.cls('dc.sample.ObjectScript')).Test()

So, when I execute it, I get the following:

$ /usr/irissys/bin/irispython /irisrun/repo/python/app.py
Hello World
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/irisrun/repo/python/app.py", line 7, in <module>
    import iris
  File "/usr/irissys/lib/python/iris.

In this GitHub based on this InterSystems community rest api template Guillaume and I have created this example of all the import CRUD operations usable using ONLY Python on IRIS and using Flask.

I have installed Iris in Docker container with the above version.  I need to create an additional user to log in via ssh.  I have created a user and put in both the irisuser and irisowner groups, and created a user in iris with permissions.  But, when I run "iris session iris" I originally got an error about permissions: /usr/irissys/bin/irisdb: Permission denied.
I looked @ the /usr/irisys directory and the permissions was only (r-x------).  I changed to (dr-xr-xr-x.)and now I get a different error:
Invalid ownership for ./irisdb
Any suggestions? 

Hello,

I’m creating a REST API service but I need to convert my object in JSON.

Class message_B Extends Ens.Request 
{ 
Property ClientId As %String(MAXLEN = "");

Property mesagge As %Stream.TmpBinary;
}

set pRequest = ##Class(message_B).%New()
​do ##class(Ens.Util.JSON).ObjectToJSONStream(pRequest, .content)

it is ignoring message property in json dueto its data type %Stream.TmpBinary

Could you please help me to resolve it?

Hi All,

Is there any cache command which can give who all has compiled a classes from the day it has been created. Specifically I want the 2 information username and time of compilation of class. 

I tried with $$DATE^%R("TEST.1.INT"), but it only gives the last compilation time.

Thanks in advance !!

NB. Please be advised that PKI is not intended to produce certificates for secure production systems. You should make alternate arrangements to create certificates for your productions.
NB. PKI is deprecated as of IRIS 2024.1: documentation and announcement.

In this post, I am going to detail how to set up a mirror using SSL, including generating the certificates and keys via the Public Key Infrastructure built in to InterSystems IRIS Data Platform. I did a similar post in the past for Caché, so feel free to check that out here if you are not running InterSystems IRIS. Much like the original, the goal of this is to take you from new installations to a working mirror with SSL, including a primary, backup, and DR async member, along with a mirrored database. I will not go into security recommendations or restricting access to the files. This is meant to just simply get a mirror up and running. Example screenshots are taken on a 2018.1.1 version of IRIS, so yours may look slightly different.

Hi Friends,

I have a requirement to convert pdf from URL to Base64 format. I have created one utility method and used in the DTL.

Working fine for small pdf files , we got one pdf with size 4MB , this method is failing (creating corrupted base64 content).

Could you please suggest me the way to convert big pdfs?

set encodedData = ""
set request=##class(%Net.HttpRequest).%New()
    do request.Get(httpUrl)
    if request.HttpResponse.StatusCode = 200
    {
//set len = request.HttpResponse.Data.SizeGet()
    set content = request.HttpResponse.Data.Read()
    set encodedData = $system.Encryption.

We have imported a CLinical Document Architecture v2 (CDA2) schema to create CDA2 content using %XML.Adaptor classes 

Schema 

https://gazelle.ihe.net/XSD/HL7/CDA/POCD_MT000040.xsd

One of the item is "observation " with value property 

Class Region.ITXX.Utility.COMMON.CDA2.Schema.POCDMT000040.Observation Extends (%RegisteredObject, %XML.Adaptor) [ CompileAfter = (Region.ITXX.Utility.COMMON.CDA2.Schema.ActClassObservation, Region.ITXX.Utility.COMMON.CDA2.Schema.NullFlavor, Region.ITXX.Utility.COMMON.CDA2.Schema.bl, Region.ITXX.Utility.COMMON.CDA2.Schema.

I am reading file values by position with comma-separated string and it gives me incorrect values on the below line because there is a comma within double quotes within a string.

I would like to remove any text that has quotes with object script or alternatively separate each value with pipe-delimited so that I can return position 8 as code and position 9 as a description

s line = file.
