InterSystems announces its second preview, as part of the developer preview program for the 2023.2 release.  This release will include InterSystems IRIS and InterSystems IRIS for Health.

Highlights

Many updates and enhancements have been added in 2023.2 and there are also brand-new capabilities, such as Time-Aware Modeling, enhancements of Foreign Tables, and the ability to use Ready-Only Federated Tables. Note that some of these features or improvements may not be available in this current developer preview.

In the Windows Ressource Manager I can observe multiple parallel processes coming from cache.exe with read operations to journaling files.

All except one of these processes have the same reads(Byte/s). The processes point to different journal files and constantly read between 200 and 3000 Bytes/s.

The corresponding process via PID in the management portal of Caché shows the process %SYS.Monitor.Control.1. In 3 days of uptime on the server it has run 181.632.583 commands and modified 32.140.642 globals. 

These processes are not writing to the journal at any point.

My employer set up a web-based HL7 interface monitor dashboard that will display all Ensemble components (Service/Process/Operation) in a Production, their status, and the support information embedded in each interfaces listing on the Monitor.  Please see 3 screenshots.  

This is part of the URL that we go to when accessing this Web based Monitor:  ......57772/csp/healthshare/monitor/Rush.Monitor.Web.Home.cls

I've gone into Studio and I find the "Rush" 'folder' and the "Monitor" 'folder' but then the only thing to navigate to is "WebStudio" and I can never find the "Home.

Hello All,

I have the docker container community version (2023.1) if IRIS 4 Health installed and running, but it sees that in the HSLIB namespace I see that the HS package is empty. I downloaded this container from the intersystems container registry.

Is this supposed to be empty? How do i get it populated? Am I missing something?

Version Info
(IRIS for UNIX (Ubuntu Server LTS for x86-64 Containers) 2023.1 (Build 229U))

i tried to install SAM 2.0.1. on a redhat 8 server.

i use docker for managing the containers.

I have followed the documentation for the installation and deployment of SAM step by step

when trying to start the SAM with the script i have an container that can't be created and the prompt not responding 

must kill the process to stop .

Does anyone have an idea?

Hey Developers,

Watch this video to learn about observability of your InterSystems IRIS application with InterSystems System Alerting and Monitoring (SAM) and modern DevOps tooling:

⏯ Observability with InterSystems IRIS @ Global Summit 2022

Hello,

We currently have the following scenario: We have a bussiness SOAP Operation, where we get a SAML String and we convert it into a %SAML.Assertion object correctly.

👩‍💻👨‍💻 We would need to send the SAML Assertion inside the SOAP Header to the Target System.

First of all thanks for reading, and thanks for answering.

We currently have opened Log Soap and we do not observe it being added to the SOAP Header, as you would observe in the following Log Soap:

05/24/2023 08:53:37 *********************
Output from Web client with SOAP action = urn:ihe:iti:2007:CrossGatewayQuery
<?xml version="1.

Sometimes we need to know for sure if the current environment has sufficient cores, memory, and bandwidth to support the planned number of users and such SLAs as latency, response time, and availability. This is true for databases and backends. This is why it is mandatory for critical applications and databases to simulate the users simultaneous/concurrent requests and collect metrics about performance and availability.

The most popular tool to do load and performance tests is called JMeter.

Hi,

I have refreshed my TEST system database from my DR box.

TEST consists of 2 linux servers TEST_NODE1 & TEST_NODE2 which are mirrored as PRIMARY failover and BACKUP failover

This is what I've done:

1. Remove TEST_NODE2 as Backup member using do ^MIRROR

2. Remove TEST_NODE1 mirror configuration using SMP (System Management Portal) GUI

3. Stop IRIS on TEST_NODE1 & TEST_NODE2

4. Copy files IRIS.DAT  from DR to TEST_NODE1

5. Start IRIS on TEST_NODE1

6. Turn off mirror flags on DB files on TEST_NODE1 using do ^MIRROR ('Remove one or more mirrored databases')

7.

Nowadays, most applications are deployed on public cloud services. It brings many advantages including savings in human and material resources, the ability to grow quickly and cheaply, greater availability, reliability, elastic scalability, and options to improve the protection of digital assets. One of the most popular options is AWS. It allows us to deploy our applications usings virtual machines (EC2 service), Docker containers (ECS service), or Kubernetes (EKS service).

How many times do we find ourselves rebuilding, copy-pasting, adapting, Business Operations that make calls to REST services, and only adapting one or another part of the final code. This is annoying a lot. To resolve this our inconvenience, I present to you Interopway REST, a set of classes (a micro framework) that allows us to just add Business Operation to Production and use it.

The project is hosted on github, https://github.com/cristianojs/interopway_rest, it is open and we are accepting collaborations.

Let's understand how this works.

How can you tell if a mirror member has failed-over?

Hi community.

I'm trying to submit an application, but I get a error when I fill the field "GitHub URL". Have someone experienced this issue?

I am often asked to review customers' IRIS application performance data to understand if system resources are under or over-provisioned.

This recent example is interesting because it involves an application that has done a "lift and shift" migration of a large IRIS database application to the Cloud. AWS, in this case.

A key takeaway is that once you move to the Cloud, resources can be right-sized over time as needed. You do not have to buy and provision on-premises infrastructure for many years in the future that you expect to grow into.

Continuous monitoring is required. Your application transaction rate will change as your business changes, the application use or the application itself changes. This will change the system resource requirements. Planners should also consider seasonal peaks in activity. Of course, an advantage of the Cloud is resources can be scaled up or down as needed.

For more background information, there are several in-depth posts on AWS and IRIS in the community. A search for "AWS reference" is an excellent place to start. I have also added some helpful links at the end of this post.

AWS services are like Lego blocks, different sizes and shapes can be combined. I have ignored networking, security, and standing up a VPC for this post. I have focused on two of the Lego block components;

• Compute requirements.
• Storage requirements.

In this tutorial, I’d like to talk about Class Queries. To be more precise, about the Queries based on user-written code:

A lot of people disregard this type of query just because they aren’t very comfortable with writing lots of ObjectScript code for the methods or they don’t see how they can use it in their relational apps. But to be honest, for me – it’s one of the coolest inventions for the relational model in IRIS! It lets you expose whatever information you want (not limited to tables of your database) as a relational resultset for a client.

Hi Community,

You probably have already seen this abbreviation SSO on different InterSystems sites: Community, Learning Portal, Global Masters, etc. It basically stands for Single Sign-On. This means that you need only one set of login and password and you can access all the Developer Ecosystem resources.

Hi, 

I am trying to get the API Manager up and running. 

I have enabled the application and IAM user and changed password.

when we run the iam_setup.sh I get the following.

Getting IAM license using your inputs...
Internal server error when testing inputs

I have check on Iris management portal , but could see no errors.

On the cspgateway I see

In elder versions of IRIS/Cache numeric overflow was detected during the syntax check:

while in IRIS 2022.1 it is not:

Hi Guys,

is there any sample I can use for Images, I'm just looking for a very simple one where I can have an upload control to upload images & image control to show them?

Thanks

You may have already heard that, starting with IRIS and HealthShare HealthConnect 2023.2 versions, the internal Apache Server will be removed from the default installation, so it will be necessary to have an external application server such as Apache Server or NGINX.

In this article I am going to proceed to install a HealthShare HealthConnect 2023.1 so that it works with a pre-installed Apache Server. For this I will use a virtual machine on which I have installed an Ubuntu 22.04.

If one of your packages on OEX receives a review you get notified by OEX only of YOUR own 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,

I'm trying out VS Code with IRIS for Health 2023.2 (not available in above dropdown) in a local container.  I can open read-only files in the Objectscript viewer and have a local folder connected to the correct namespace.  However, when I make changes and try the "import and compile" option, I get:

ERROR #16006: Document <filepath> name is invalid

The first four chars of <filepath> appear to have been truncated

Here is my settings.json

{

    "security.workspace.trust.untrustedFiles": "open",

    "workbench.colorTheme": "InterSystems Default Dark",

    "intersystems.

Hi,
just want to know if indexes in IRIS / SQL are autobuilding.

I define an index in a table and then i costantly do a lot of insert/delete in that table. Will i face index problem? Do i need to rebuild it often?

Thanks

Programming and languages

Being a programmer nowadays is basically the geek version of being a polyglot. Of course, most of us here, in the InterSystems Community, “speak ObjectScript”. Howeever, I believe this wasn’t the first language for many people. For instance, I had never heard about it prior to getting the appropriate training at Innovatium.

Methods written in ObjectScript can use pass-by-reference arguments to return information to the caller. Python doesn’t support pass-by-reference arguments, so Embedded Python in IRIS doesn’t support them either. That's it, that's the end of the post, hope you liked it. 😉 But wait, what about the Classic Rock & Roll?

Actually, since returning values in method arguments can be useful, this post demonstrates several ways to do this, between ObjectScript and Embedded Python.
