Hey Community,

We're pleased to invite all the developers to the upcoming kick-off webinar for the Vector Search, GenAI and ML Contest!

Discover the exciting challenges and opportunities that await GenAI and ML enthusiasts in this contest. We'll discuss the topics we expect from participants and show you how to develop, build, and deploy applications using the InterSystems IRIS data platform. There will also be a demo of InterSystems IRIS Vector Search that you can use in your projects.

Date & Time: Monday, April 22 – 12 pm EDT | 6 pm CEST  

I was not able to get IAM working on my Development Server because of issues with creating volumes as a Non root user, so I opted to run it within Docker on my WSL Ubuntu locally. I was able to get it running, however the Workspaces is empty, and the Dev Portal is not enabled.

At this point do I need to sign up for the free Kong Konnect? or what are the next steps?

Thanks

Scott

Hi Developers,

my login does not have WRC Direct access.

How can I get this access to download the Intersystems IRIS kit?

Hi all,

I was wondering if there is a way to modify the results you get in the code assist in Visual Studio Code. Ideally even per class or package.

For example: the code below is for a custom component of a framework. From all the options listed I'm only interested in my own property "Title" and I don't want to see any %-methods or auto-generated methods like "TitleSet" and "TitleGet".

I have been looking at the %Api.Atelier classes, but it seems that it's only calling a list of deprecated methods when opening this list.

With the advent of Embedded Python, a myriad of use cases are now possible from within IRIS directly using Python libraries for more complex operations. One such operation is the use of natural language processing tools such as textual similarity comparison.

Setting up Embedded Python to Use the Sentence Transformers Library

Note: For this article, I will be using a Linux system with IRIS installed.

In vscode objectscript extension, when you push "Ctrl + Slash" in the editor window, the comment delimiter "#;" is inserted. This feature helps me a lot to write comments in sources. But currently it does not have any options to change "#;" to other characters.

Some customers say "we prefer another comment style like //, so want // be put into the source in stead of #; when we push Ctrl + Slash". It makes sense to me. 

I put a new request on Github "[Request] want to change the comment style from "#;" which is inserted by "Ctrl + Slash". 
What do you think?Agree?Disagree?

Hi! I am planning to move my Arbiter from a Unix server to a container(again on linux). To do this, I need the ISCAgent tar.gz file to configure Arbiter for our mirrored servers. I have tried searching for it on the Intersystems help forums but couldn't find it. Is it possible for someone to redirect me to the correct website to download it?

Thank you in advance!!

Hi everyone,
I have this global with 2 informations in it: Reference (ex: 1329) and Code (ex: JMMK-G1D6).

^DataTest    =     3
^DataTest(1)    =     $lb("","1329","JMMK-G1D6")
^DataTest(2)    =     $lb("","1516","AMEV-GVPF")
^DataTest(3)    =     $lb("","2333","4QC6-4HW3")

With ObjectScript, i want to test if Reference 1516 exists in the global. 
In the InterSystems portal, i can do it with SQL (SELECT count(*) FROM DataTest where Reference = '1516'), but can we do the same in ObjectScript without SQL and manipulating the global directly ?

Thanks for help.

I recently set up InterSystems in the Azure cloud environment. So far, no issues. Recently, I was tasked with uploading the IRIS.dat file (FoIA VISTA) into the instance. I was guided by my teammates to do the following: System Administration > Configuration > Local Databases. The problem is that I need to transfer the .dat file to the instance, because, as it is running on a local machine, it cannot retrieve files from my local drive.  Is there a reliable solution, such as a transfer method or way of using the Web Gateway endpoint, one can provide to assist? Thank you for your time.

Hi all,

As part of the InterSystems Solutionathon we would like to distribute a very quick survey on your thoughts on using AI-driven code documentation for ObjectScript.

Hello everyone,

I'm currently working on a business operation that employs a retry mechanism with a FailureTimeout = -1. So, this BO attempts to resend the message at the end of a RetryInterval of n seconds (n is configurable).

What I would like to achieve is to set a timer that runs in parallel with the sending mechanism so that, If I don't receive a response within m seconds (m also is configurable and m<=n) from the initial message send (with RetryCount = 1), an alert or something similar is triggered.

InterSystems FAQ rubric

When you run a routine in the terminal and an error occurs in the program, if you have not set the error trap properly, the program will enter debug mode as shown below.

USER>do^error1
 write A
^
a+2^error1 *A
USER 2d0>

From this state, enter the Quit command to return to the state before the routine was started.

USER 2d0>Quit

If a transaction is being processed within the routine where the error occurred, a prompt similar to the one below will appear.

USER>do^error1
 write A
^
a+3^error1 *A
TL1:USER 2d0>q
TL1:USER>

we are looking at replacing our VMS system with Linux :-( yes a sad day!

now the question has become should we go with Intel or AMD.  personally I think Intel is the way to go for several reasons.

has anyone seen or heard of an AMD being slower or there is a definite performance of one over the other.

thanks for your feedback.

Hi everyone.

I have a function that may end up being called from a number of transformations at the same time, and within the function there's some Embedded SQL to first check if a local table has an entry, and then adds the entry if it doesn't exist.

To prevent a race condition where the function is called by two transformations and they both end up attempting to insert the same value, I'm looking to use the table hint "WITH TABLOCK" on the insert, but this seems to be failing the syntax checks within vscode.

Are table hints supported with embedded sql?

If not, is there a way to prevent the

Hi, 

I'm currently working on configuring an Ens.Alert component within Ensemble 2018, and I'm looking to set up a system default settings for it.

Hi,

I was struggling with a procedure that was meant to receive a string and use it as a filter, I've found that since I want the procedure to do some data transformation and return a dataset, I needed to use objectScript language.

I've created the procedure using the SQL GUI in the portal, and everything works fine when calling the procedure from the SQL GUI but not through a JDBC connection here is the call "call spPatientOS('2024-04-07T12:35:32Z')"

the bottom line is that the procedure was created with the parameter defined as STRING(MAXLEN=1) which means that my parameter from the jdbc was

Hi,

i have this simple json structure:

{
"nTypeTrigger": "ATR",
"sDate": "2024-04-17 15:29:16",
"tRefArray": [{"sID":"132"},{"sID":"151"},{"sID":"233"}],
"tCountries": []
}

I can't find an example to iterate on tRefArray.

I've tried to create a secondary iterator but it doesn't work. Here is my current code:

 // extract json content from the request:
 set dynRequestJsonPayload = {}.%FromJSON(%request.Content)
 set JsonIterator = dynRequestJsonPayload.%GetIterator()
 
 // iterate on json structure:
 if dynRequestJsonPayload '= "" {
    while JsonIterator.%GetNext(.key, .value) {

Can you assign the SessionId to a target field in a DTL. There is a %Ensemble("SessionId") variable that looks like it would be available to use.

Hello!

I wonder if anyone has a smart idea to extract an XML fragment inside a text document (incoming from a stream)?

The XML fragment is surrounded by plain text.

Example:

text...........
text...........
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8 ?>
<Start>
...etc
</Start>
text...........
text...........

The XML is not represented by any class or object in the Namespace.

The XML can look different from time to time

Appreciated if anyone knows how to use Objectscript to extract the XML content.

Regards Michael

Hi

Some of our integrations use a system DSN to interact with our Data Warehouse (built on Microsoft SQL Server).  We've recently migrated from SQL Server 2016 to 2022 and on the day of go-live we changed DNS cname records as a mechanism for redirecting everything to the new server.  This worked great for users and reports, but for some reason we found that HealthShare clung onto the old server name even after several days.

We found when an ODBC connection references a DNS cname, the production hung onto and still queried the old server - we had to restart the production to resolve it.

When an

Hey everyone,

I'm currently running into a very weird issue to where I am trying to connect with a 64 bit version of SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) to a HealthShare instance. I have created a System DSN using the Drivers (image below) that were downloaded with the Client version of the install and I'm able to successfully connect using my credentials.

After I have my System DSN (image below) configured, I go into SSMS and add a Linked Server that is referencing the System DSN that was created.Also, I change the provider to be Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers.

Hi Guys,

I'm new to IRIS and I'm converting from Ensemble 2018 to IRIS but not sure how to convert my cache.data file to IRIS.dat, I copied my cache.data to a new folder then went to IRIS management portal and created a new database and specified the directory to where my cache.data and saved and I thought that IRIS will automatically convert cache.dat to IRIS.dat but instead it created a new empty IRIS.dat, I guess I was wrong in my assumptions !?     

also by leaving the New Volume Threshold size as zero is that mean that I always have only one IRIS.dat instead of having multiple files ?
