In our latest episode of Data Points, I had a conversation with Senior Instructional Designer @Michelle Spisak about accessibility in Online Learning and in the tech industry as a whole. We discussed some of the ways the Online Learning team at InterSystems has improved accessibility in our learning content and some of the ways it can still be improved in the future!

Hello community!

I'm creating a script to remove an item (component) from the Ensemble production, I know there is a manual way to do it but as there are several components the idea is to use a script to be faster.

I tried using %Delete() and doing a select on Ens.Config.Item, but this ends up generating several errors in production. Does anyone have any idea how I can do this simply?

I am sure I came across this in the past with Cache and just saw this again in IRIS.

When rebuilding or swapping a DAT file for a database it retains the Resource of the DAT file, not the Resource of the Database it is being used for.

For instance, if I have a local Database called APP with a resource %DB_APP and I want to refresh the data from another Database called TEST that has a Resource %DB_TEST I can just copy the DAT file from the TEST folder to the APP folder.

No Database settings are changed and it is all done with either IRIS down or the databases dismounted.

Hi 

Does anyone know where the user generated code resides, the stuff one might write for a production,  I presume it lives in a table somewhere within a database?

Basically, I want to do some dependency analysis of what I've written - find out what's in use, how it's referenced, etc. I know  I can export it to an XML file and work on that, but direct access on a table would be quicker for me.

Cheers

Hi.

Is it possible to set in XData mappings (or any other way) to serialize the property value as display value rather than value it self?

Hi

I have an a Ens.Request subclass (Invoice) that has a relationship property to another persistent class (InvoiceItems), with properties of its own and the inverse relationship defined referring back to Invoice. 

When building a DTL with these classes, the Relationship’s inverse relationship (Invoice, within InvoiceDetails) is displayed.   

Can this be hidden ? 

thanks

Hi Guys,

How do I do a HTTP post request using a curl and get a response, the response should be a JSON file ? a sample code would be really appreciated.

Thanks

Hey Community,

Here is a digest of the Developer Community videos on InterSystems Developers YouTube Channel in April 2022:

Given the following requirements about a WebSocket client:

• Start with the production automatically
• Try to re-establish a lost connection periodically
• Send an Ens.Request to another production item when a message is received from the WebSocket server

Where in the production does the WebSocket client need to live?

Is it possible to set the preferred language to English in a manifest e.g. with a <SystemSetting> tag?

Learning Services has posted the calendar for virtual classroom training through September! All classes are held 9am to 5pm US Eastern time as live, instructor-led virtual classrooms with hands-on exercises and interactive discussions. Go to classroom.intersystems.com to view the schedule, register for a class, or request a private training for 5-15 people at your company.

Taking our classes are part of a great way to prepare for our professional certification exams!

I am attempting to delete the entirety of the translation map for a single facility and am wondering if there is a utility within InterSystems to accomplish this. 

Thanks for any info

This year at Global Summit we will have several members of the InterSystems internal applications team (AppServices) on site to present topics of interest to developers.  There will be General Sessions that we teach on a number of topics related to tools we're launching to the OEX, knowledge gained based on migrating our Caché app portfolio to InterSystems IRIS, best practices for following OWASP Top 10 with ObjectScript, and a survey of the application landscape offering services to our customers and prospects.

We have released 6 angular pages to all users from their beta testing phase:

Transition, Create, Clone, Merge, Standard Changes, and Peer Review Docs.

Any issues or feedback can be reported here or in your regular support channels. Non beta users can toggle their beta status here in the CCR app.

Hi Community,

Imagine enabling your application to read text to your customer? This is now possible with the new IRIS feature, Embedded Python. With this new functionality IRIS can natively run any open source or commercial Python libraries natively. gTTS (https://pypi.org/project/gTTS/) is a free library that transforms text into audio using the Google Translate service.

How to

Just pass the text by parameter and gTTS returns an mp3 file with the text transformed into audio. That is, your application can play the audio of any text! See how to do it:

1. Go to https://openexchange.intersystems.

Given I have a property 

Class All.AllBooks Extends %Library.Persistent
{

Property ID As %Integer;

Property Title As User.Book;

}

In the class method

ClassMethod GetABookById(id As %Integer) As %Status
{

SET MyBooks = ##class(All.Allbooks).%OpenId(id)

SET obj = {

     "ID" : (MyBooks.%Id())

     "Title" : (MyBooks.Title)

}

WRITE obj.%ToJSON()

Quit 1
}

How do Access the foreign key in JSON() data

Hey Community, 

New video is already on InterSystems Developers YouTube channel:

⏯ Embed Business Intelligence into your Applications with InterSystems IRIS

InterSystems is pleased to announce the release System Alerting & Monitoring (SAM) version 1.1.

What is SAM?

SAM marries IRIS’s standards-based Monitoring API and Log Monitor with familiar industry standard tools like Grafana and Prometheus to create a basic monitoring and alerting solution for IRIS clusters.

For more on SAM, see the System Alerting and Monitoring Guide.

What’s new in SAM 1.1?

You’ll notice performance improvements for the Grafana dashboard graphs, especially when working with large data sets.  If you’re upgrading from SAM 1.

Hi.

I'm trying to serialize property of type %TimeStamp in SQL statement with JSON_OBJECT, but I get a raw string instead of JSON DateTime format string. %JSONExport method on the same object works fine.

Any ideas?

Hello,

I tried to search the forums but couldn’t find an answer for my need.

I’m building a logging module in Ensemble which could be used to log information about different integrations triggered in our environments. In my first version, the logging module logs straight to messages.log, and it’s working fine for the time being. The logging module is used to log process level information related to integrations with different log levels (info, debug, warn, error, etc.).

If one of your packages on OEX receives a review you get notified by OEX only own YOUR package.   
The rating reflects the experience of the reviewer with the status found at the time of review.   
It is kind of a snapshot and might have changed meanwhile.   
Reviews by other members of the community are marked by * in the last column.

I also placed a bunch of Pull Requests on Github when I found a problem I could fix.    
Some were accepted and merged, and some were just ignored.     
So if you did a major change and expect a changed review just let me know.

Hi,

Doc: classMethode DecimalToHex(decimal As %String) as %String
Converts a decimal string to a hexadecimal string.

w !,$System.Util.DecimalToHex(42) > 2A

w !,$zhex(42) > 2A

w !,$System.Util.DecimalToHex(0) is empty

w !,$System.Util.DecimalToHex("0") is empty

w !,$System.Util.DecimalToHex("00") is empty

w !,$zhex(0) > 0

Is the empty string really the intended output?

Best regards

RY

I have number of hosts on an Ensemble production that are not updating the %LastActivity property in the

^CacheTemp.EnsHostMonitor global. This in return create an issue with our dashboard software which is showing wrong results even as the host is processing messages without issues.

Hello everyone! Don't miss the Developer Community Post Digest for April 2022.

Hey Developers! Here is a digest of new solutions and applications submitted to the InterSystems Open Exchange in April 2022.

Good afternoon,

I'm trying to take an unformatted social security number and insert the dashes into it.  I'm getting a value in PID-19 like this:  "123456789" and would like to use a data transformation to set the value in PID-19 to "123-45-6789". 

I can't find any insert or append functions and I can't find anything in the Intersystems doc repository that would do this.  Can someone help point the way for me please?  I would like to keep this as a "set" action in my DT.  I'm a little new to calling classes so it would be helpful if you included some syntax that would go in the "Value" field.

Hi,

Is there a way to find the median in Intersystems Cache SQL? I know it is not available as an aggregate function. Also in SQL Server I could try something like: 

SELECT
(
 (SELECT MAX(Score) FROM
   (SELECT TOP 50 PERCENT Score FROM Posts ORDER BY Score) AS BottomHalf)
 +
 (SELECT MIN(Score) FROM
   (SELECT TOP 50 PERCENT Score FROM Posts ORDER BY Score DESC) AS TopHalf)
) / 2 AS Median

However, there is no PERCENT Keyword in Cache as well. Any suggestions?

Thanks

InterSystems has always provided -- with each maintenance release -- a document that describes all the changes in that maintenance release. This document is known informally as the relnotes or (now) the MRNotes*. Here’s a link to one of them, just to make sure we’re on the same page: https://docs.intersystems.com/iris20211/csp/docbook/relnotes/index.html

Could you please comment here and tell us if you use this document and how you use it and what you use it for?
