Hello Everyone,

The Certification Team of InterSystems Learning Services is developing an InterSystems IRIS Developer Professional certification exam, and we are reaching out to our community for feedback that will help us evaluate and establish the contents of this exam.

Note: This exam will replace the current InterSystems IRIS Core Solutions Developer Specialist exam when it is released. Please note from the target role description below that the focus of the new exam will be more on developer best practices and a lot less on the ObjectScript programming language.

Hi Developers,

Watch this video to learn the different roles in OAuth 2.0, scopes, tokens, important authentication flows/grant types, and more:

⏯ OAuth 2.0 Fundamentals @ Global Summit 2023

Multi-tap or multi-press is the name given to the historic technique of writing SMS on the first mobile phones with a keyboard of 10-12 numeric keys. For example, to type LOL you need to press 5 three times, 6 three times and 5 three times again. Your task is to write a function that takes a string as input and returns the repeated digits associated with each character according to the multi-tap system. Should consider letters from A to Z, doesn't distinguish between upper/lowercase characters. Numbers are allowed, and any punctuation should be ignored.

Input

"Example"

Output

"339926755533"

Note

I am trying to troubleshoot an issue with LDAP and a specific user. Besides what is in the Audit Database is there another way to look to see the LDAP functionality that is being called and the response, like there is with OAuth and the ISCLOG? The Audit Log is returning a failure (Unexpected - /api/atelier login failure | InterSystems Developer Community) for this particular user, and I want to get proof that it might be something with the LDAP and not IRIS.

Thanks

Hi Devs!

Recently I was impressed by @Dan Pasco's article where he shares also how he uses terminal aliases. 

Terminal aliases is a very powerful tool for developers and sys admins if you often need to call some cumbersome terminal expressions and make it shorter and cleaner. Here is the documentation.
Yes! 

But what about Docker environments? What if you are fan of Docker dev environments but also want to keep using your favorite aliases with Docker as well?

Turned out it is very possible.

Hello,

I want to parse large JSON object and store data into persistent tables. Is there any other way besides pre-defining persistent classes including typing each property name? Maybe parse it and store properties into a global so that I know what properties need to be defined for each class...

Thanks in advance for your thoughts

Hi,

I'm having a few issues with keeping Ubuntu happy and stable, and it seems to be something at the OS level rather than within IRIS itself. My thought is to simply pare back the stuff that Ubuntu LTS runs by default, which will free up system resources (which really shouldn't be a problem, but it might help) and reduce the amount that can go wrong.

Are there any guides as to what can be safely disabled at boot time, or are required to be enabled?

Hi community.

Yes, I know that there is other question "VS Code - debugging doesn't work" that is the same issue, but my IRIS instance is not using IIS.

Some times ago, I could debug without problems, but after some updates of Visual Studio, I get the following error

Failed to start the debug session. Check that the Intersystems server's web server supports WebSockets

I've activated the WebSocket protocol in the server (Windows Server 2019) but it still doesn't work.

The IRIS instance is not using IIS, I think it is using the Apache by default.

Do I need to do anything in special?

Hello Community,

SQL language remains the most practical way to retrieve information stored in a database.

The JSON format is very often used in data exchange.

It is therefore common to seek to obtain data in JSON format from SQL queries.

Below you will find simple examples that can help you meet this need using ObjectScript and Python code.

Introduction

IntroductionThis article attempt to summarize and update on the exchanges in this post. Please feel free to comment.ObjectScript is based on MUMPS, a programming language dating back to 1966. At the time, and for quite a long period, memory and cpu resources were scarce, as was terminal screen space, and a very concise (and easily decodable) syntax was preferred (as, for example in C).

Hi,

How can I effectively unit test a Business Process Language(BPL) that incorporates three code activities calling methods from distinct ObjectScript classes?.

Appreciate any insights or examples.

Thanks,

Nimisha

Background

In 2021, I participated as an InterSystems mentor in a hackathon, where a newcomer to FHIR asked me if there was a tool to transform generic JSON data containing basic patient information into FHIR format. I informed her that I didn't know anything like that, unfortunately.

But that idea stays in my mind...

Several months later, in 2022, I came up with an idea to experiment: to train a named entity recognition (NER) to identify FHIR elements into generic texts. The training involved synthetic FHIR data generated by Synthea and the spaCy Python library.

I am exporting data from Cache using the SQL export wizard. This is on a docker image of Cache hosted on a Linux server.I select my database, schema, and table, make sure that all columns are being exported, check other settings, and then finish the export.All server settings look correct and permissions are rwe on the directory. I have tried various directories, including a system level directory.

Striking a Balance Between Health Analytics and Engaging Features

While  the surge in app development is undoubtedly a positive sign of society's growing interest in health and wellness features can be engaging and motivate users to adopt healthier lifestyles, they often lack the depth required for serious health analytics.

According Wikipedia a mind map is a diagram used to visually organize information into a hierarchy, showing relationships among pieces of the whole. It is often created around a single concept, drawn as an image in the center of a blank page, to which associated representations of ideas such as images, words and parts of words are added. Major ideas are connected directly to the central concept, and other ideas branch out from those major ideas.

Hello,

As Intersystems Cache for Windows comes with a custom Apache version (2.4.52) and has some security risks, so not advised to be used for Production servers/environments. I want to install the new version of Apache (2.4.58) and replace it with the built-in version of it. Is there an easy and convenient way to perform this upgrade? My target is to completely replace the built-in version and replace it with a new version so that it passes the security scan.

Here is the link to the security risk mentioned by Intersystems:

Hi Developers!

Hey Community,

Here is a digest of the Developer Community videos on InterSystems Developers YouTube Channel in January 2024:

I created this application considering how to convert images such as prescription forms into FHIR messages

It recognizes the text in the image through OCR technology and extracts it, which is then transformed into fhir messages through AI (LLA language model).

Finally, sending the message to the fhir server of IntereSystems can verify whether the message meets the fhir requirements. If approved, it can be viewed on the select page.

The architect of the JSON schema (MS) asked if IRIS could  perform schema validation. I asked on Discord objectscript channel how we could validate a Dynamic Object against a JSON schema. Dmitry Maslennikov replied that probably the easiest way would be to use python, but it would require converting ObjectScript JSON to Python dict.

I refer to this as my first real use case for Embedded Python, because previous examples I had tried I could have implemented in ObjectScript just as easily as in Python.

Hi folks!

Sometimes building an images via docker-compose.yml can take significant time.

And often after a minute or two of waiting it turns out that ports listed in docker-compose are busy and you need to start building process again with different ports or to turn down processes that took it.

Is there a way to check ports listed in docker-compose BEFORE starting the image baking process?

How do you deal with this problem?
