Hey Developers!

Watch this video to get a brief overview of the InterSystems API Manager (IAM) and a deeper dive into new features of IAM 2.3 and 2.8:

⏯ API Management with InterSystems IRIS @ Global Summit 2022

Introduction

This article aims to give an introduction to what gRPC is and an example of how to play with the official Hello World using IRIS Embedded Python.

You can find all the code exposed here, in this project repo.

gRPC

The gRPC (gRPC remote procedure call) is an API architectural style based on the RPC protocol. The project was created by Google in 2015 and is licensed under Apache 2.0. Currently, the project is supported by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF).

Thank you to everyone who joined our User Group Session yesterday!

It was great showing off the new Deltanji Production Component driver that facilitates source control of interoperability productions, and we had some really insightful discussions as well.

If you missed out on the session and would like a copy of the recording, feel free to drop me a message. 

Hi 

I have a  Zen Page with tablepane which has a datasource in a different namespace to that of the Zen Page. When the page is run, no data is returned and the tablepane is not populate,  even though the rerferenced table contains dat.

The tablePane code is as follows:

<tablePaneid="DataExtractionCurrent"showZebra="true"cellSpacing="2px"OnCreateResultSet="DataExtractionCurrent"></tablePane>

The OnCreateResultSet points to the following method:

Method DataExtractionCurrent(Output tSC As%Status, pInfo As%ZEN.Auxiliary.

In this article, I would show how you can upload and download files from InterSystems products via http.

The questions about working with files over http arise fairly often on community and I'm usually linking to my FileServer project which demonstrates file upload/download but I'd like to talk a bit more on how we can serve and receive files from InterSystems products.

I was able to run the Cache terminal from the command prompt with the following command, in the namespace that I provided in the brackets:

cterm /console=cn_ap:ENSEMBLE[TEST_1]
But the command suddenly stopped opening the terminal in the correct namespace. It just opens it in the default namespace. I tried it with different namespaces or invalid namespaces, it always opens the terminal in the default namespace now.

I cannot figure out what is causing this behaviour.

I have looked through the documentation and can't seem to find anything on usage of adapters by service but not by operation and vice versa.

Any help would be great! Thanks :) 

Hi,

I'm often required to copy the database from production to test.

This is to 'refresh' the database on test.

To achieve this I copy all required IRIS.DAT files from production to test.

The nodes are mirrored on production.

The nodes are not mirrored on test.

Each of the database files IRIS.DAT has a mirror attribute.

Is there a way of checking if the mirror attribute is set for the database file? eg. an objectScript program

We need to resize existing images already in %GlobalBinaryStream  to create thumbnails.

The requirement is also to use the method to resize new images that are uploaded.

Does anyone have a solution for this ?

Hello Community,

We're happy to announce that the InterSystems IRIS, IRIS for Health, HealthShare Health Connect, & InterSystems IRIS Studio 2022.2 is out now!

And to discuss all the new and enhanced features of it we'd like to invite you to our webinar What’s New in InterSystems IRIS 2022.2.

Is there a way for web application to set its session timeout value according to the user role or other criteria?

In this case, I have a custom production monitor page, and I want to set 5 minutes for most users but allow managers a longer time or those displaying pages on a monitor a longer time.

Hello community! I'm working on an internal innovation effort at InterSystems considering our documentation/resources around upgrades. As part of this, I'd love to have your answers to any/all of the following questions, either via comment or (if you prefer your answers to be more private) direct message.

Thanks in advance!

What InterSystems products + versions are you running? ($zv is ideal.)

What makes you decide to upgrade?

What are your blockers to upgrading?

What is your process for evaluating and planning a possible upgrade?

What documentation resources do you use?

Is there a way of passing in the name of a category used in the production and returning a list of business components associated with them?

I want to be able to do this in code.

How can I retrive the values present in the Category dropdown at the top of the production in code?

I use the following code to check the last modified date of file which is on a network shared folder (eg: "\\someserver\subfolder\foobar.txt")

set file = ##class(%File).%New(filePath)
set lastModifiedDate = file.DateModified //might hang up for a very long time set file = "" //close file

if the file is not available or does not exists, DateModified property return a negative value (which is fine). I use that property to quickly check if file has been modified and need to be imported.

Is there a way to add specific table permissions to a security role programmatically? I'm working on scripting some of the initial setup work when we sell certain add-ons to our software, and I see how I can assign resources to a role and give it a description, but I don't see how I tell it that this role gives the user, for example, SELECT privileges only on the invoices table, or SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE.

Hi Community,

In this video, you will learn about exciting new ways to perform analytics using data in your HL7® FHIR® repository:

⏯ InterSystems IRIS FHIR SQL Builder: Sneak Peek @ Global Summit 2022

Do we have REST API documentation to retrieve the data available in InterSystems Cache.

I am looking for APIs that will help me to pull the data available in InterSystems Cache.

Today we will talk about Adaptive Analytics. This is a system that allows you to receive data from various sources with a relativistic data structure and create OLAP cubes based on this data. This system also provides the ability to filter and aggregate data and has mechanisms to speed up the work of analytical queries.

Let's take a look at the path that data takes from input to output in Adaptive Analytics. We will start by connecting to a data source -  our instance of IRIS.

Hi Community ,

Can anyone please explain how to use EnsLib.EMail.AlertOperation operation to send notification to my email id when any error occurs in my production?

Please give any example how to use EnsLib.EMail.AlertOperation operation class

Thanks,

Smythee

A mistake happened and records were assigned the wrong assigning authority name: PID3.4.

Everything else  was correct. This resulted in duplicate records. Ex

Record 1: MRN1 has AA1 and clinical data

Record 2:  MRN1 has AA2 and the same clinical data as Record 1 + more clinical data that is not in Record 1

I would like to remove Record 2 ensuring that there are no orphan records left.

Should I use a merge transaction? If so, which one? The ones that I have seen expect a different MRN in the MRG segment. These records have the same MRN. What would be the best approach?

Thank you for reading!

InterSystems is pleased to announce the 2022.2 release of InterSystems IRIS Data Platform, InterSystems IRIS for Health, HealthShare Health Connect, and InterSystems IRIS Studio are now Generally Available (GA).

Hey Developers,

We're pleased to invite you to join the InterSystems webinar on Building and Enabling Healthcare Applications with HL7 FHIR!

Date: Wednesday, November 09, 2022
Time: 1:00 PM Eastern Standard Time
Duration: 30 minutes

VetsEZ is looking for an InterSystems Technology Platform - Practice Lead to serve our Federal healthcare customers. As a lead systems integrator, VetsEZ has been delivering large-scale implementations for various federal customers, including the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), with the world's largest footprint of InterSystems technologies. InterSystems Technology Platform comprises core technologies, including HealthShare, Caché, IRIS, Ensemble, DeepSee, and iKnow.

VetsEZ is seeking a full-time remote InterSystems HealthShare / IRIS Architect to design and deliver integrated health solutions for our federal healthcare clients with a focus on automation and semantic interoperability. This role focuses on understanding complex technical and business requirements and translating them into highly scalable, robust integration architectures. Act as a technical lead, and mentor team members while maintaining a hands-on role.

The candidate must reside within the continental US.

The topic of for/while loop performance in Caché ObjectScript came up in discussion recently, and I'd like to share some thoughts/best practices with the rest of the community. While this is a basic topic in itself, it's easy to overlook the performance implications of otherwise-reasonable approaches. In short, loops iterating over $ListBuild lists with $ListNext or over a local array with $Order are the fastest options.

As a motivating example, we will consider looping over the pieces of a comma-delimited string.

In our latest episode of Data Points, I had a conversation with Carmen Logue and Mary Ann Fusi about Adaptive Analytics and Smart Data Fabrics. A lot has changed and improved since the last time we discussed this product on the podcast, so take a listen!

With IRIS 2021.1, we released a significant revision our SQL utilities API at %SYSTEM.SQL. Yes, that's a while ago now, but last week a customer asked a few questions about this and then @Tom Woodfin applied gentle mental pressure ;-) to make me describe the rationale of these changes in a little more detail on the Developer Community. So here we go!
