Hi Folks!

Have a very simple question, I hope :)

How can I make sure that user 'John' is already created in the IRIS system?

Preferabbly via SQL?

thanks a lot!

Using Flask, REST API, and IAM with InterSystems IRIS

Part 2 – Flask App

Flask is a web development microframework written in Python. It is known for being simple, flexible, and enabling rapid application development.

Installing Flask is very simple. Once you have python installed correctly on your operating system, we need to install the flask library with the pip command. For REST API consumption, it is advisable to use the requests library. The following link provides a guide to installing flask: https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/stable/installation/

Using Flask, REST API, and IAM with InterSystems IRIS

Part 1 - REST API

Hello

In this article we will see the implementation of a REST API to perform the maintenance of a CRUD, using Flask and IAM.

In this first part of the article we will see the construction and publication of the REST API in Iris.

First, let's create our persistent class to store the data. To do this, we go to Iris and create our class:

Hi,

Is it possible to change the WebGateway Port i.e. from i.e. 57773 to 443 to use it as:

https://myserver/iris/csp/sys/%25CSP.Portal.Home.zen.....etc.

Meaning: https://myserver:443/iris/csp/sys/%25CSP.Portal.Home.zen

Are there any known problems or other suggestions? 

Hey everyone.

I came across some issues when setting up Freeze and Thaw batch scripts for use with VMWare in a Windows ecosystem, and I wanted to share what I found in the hopes it can help others. This was undertaken in an environment using Healthconnect 2019.1.x.

IRIS not up (2)

It seems that the sample script from the documentation in my my case would tell me that the environment was not running (despite it running). To correct this, I provided the filepath to the Mgr location as so:

c:\InterSystems\HealthConnect\bin\irisdb -s"C:\InterSystems\HealthConnect\Mgr" -U%%SYS ##Class(Backup.Ge

Visual Studio Code releases new updates every month with new features and bug fixes, and the January 2025 release is now available. 

As you might have heard, we just introduced the InterSystems API Manager (IAM); a new feature of the InterSystems IRIS Data Platform™, enabling you to monitor, control and govern traffic to and from web-based APIs within your IT infrastructure. In case you missed it, here is the link to the announcement.

In this article, I will show you how to set up IAM and highlight some of the many capabilities IAM allows you to leverage.

Overview

After having some discussions at Global Summit and using a lot of package managers in my day to day development (npm,nuget,Chocolatey, etc) in addition to recently using the InterSystems Package Manager for some CICD process I'm building using Intersystems IRIS and IRIS 4 Health, I wanted an easy and integrated way to search/view/install packages related to the Intersystems tech stack.

I recently built a VSCode extension for IPM repositories that I will be open sourcing and publishing to the marketplace but wanted create this post to get some feedback from the community.

Hi all,

I have a passthru REST setup using EnsLib.HTTP.GenericService and EnsLib.HTTP.GenericOperation. Works well.

I am adding some logic to the Operation and for some scenarios I want to return an HTTP 40x response status code.

I create an httpResponse object within the Business Operation, but I can't figure out how to set the http response status code that is returned to my Posstman client that initiated the request. I set StatusCode=400, and StatusLine and ReasonPhrase properties - but when the ultimate requestor (Postman) receives the response back it is a 200 status code. I am quittin

Hello everyone,

How can i download the iris odbc for linux ubuntu in order to recover the file 'libirisodbcu.so'.

thanks in advance

Hey everyone, 
Might be a stupid question, but i was trying to set the ContentLength of the %response object in my website.
In different places (like the onPreHttp / onPostHttp etc) but none seems to work.
The reason behind it is to send a more accurate representation of the actual data I send, instead of having the overhead of the broker that adds more characters , I want the exact length of the response accounting only for the data that I actually returned.

Hey everyone.

As I have been working with IRIS (nee Caché) for some time now, I decided to take a look at how I manage things like functions and scripts that may not belong to a single namespace or environment, but should still have a home.

I have taken to creating a github repo where I can keep track of a single .cls of "general functions" that I can then drop into an environment when required. That said, I'm keen to know from others if they have built up a similar collection of useful functions (that I could contribute to via github instead) or if this has been approached in an entirely di

Using SQL Gateway with Python, Vector Search, and Interoperability in InterSystems Iris

Part 2 – Python and Vector Search

Since we have access to the data from our external table, we can use everything that Iris has to offer with this data. Let's, for example, read the data from our external table and generate a polynomial regression with it.

For more information on using python with Iris, see the documentation available at https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=AFL_epython

Let's now consume the data from the external database to calculate a polynomial regression. To do this, we will use a python code to run a SQL that will read our MySQL table and turn it into a pandas dataframe:

Using SQL Gateway with Python, Vector Search, and Interoperability in InterSystems Iris

Part 1 - SQL Gateway

Hello

In this article we will look at the use of SQL Gateway in Iris. SQL Gateway allows Iris to have access to tables from other (external) database via ODBC or JDBC. We can access Tables or Views from various databases, such as Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MySQL and others.

First, let me wish the developer community a Happy New Year! We hope to bring you many good things this year, and today I'd like to introduce the latest version of the Intersystems Language Server extension to VS Code. Most Language Server improvements are experienced via the ObjectScript extension UI, so you many not be aware of the many improvements in areas like Intellisense and hover overs that were released throughout 2024. Please take a quick read over the Language Server's CHANGELOG and find out what you missed. Most recently, version 2.7.0 brings support for the Windows ARM platform, s

It's possible to set a value to a "variable" in SQL Cache?

Like in SQl Server or Oracle?
Thanks

I have a scenario where I send a GET request to a broker and receive a FHIR response. When I attempted to use the built-in InterSystems functions to convert this FHIR response into SDA, the transformation failed—likely because it is not a standard FHIR request.

How should I handle this situation? Is there a recommended approach to processing FHIR responses in this context?

Additionally, if I manage to convert the FHIR response into a request format, I noticed that the broker sends a Task resource. However, when I tried to transform it into SDA using the built-in functions, it wasn’t processe

I understand that InterSystems provides functions to facilitate transactions between FHIR and HL7 via the SDA segment. My question is:

• Does this transformation only work when InterSystems receives FHIR requests and converts them into HL7, or does it also support responses?
• Specifically, if our operation sends a GET request to a broker and receives a FHIR response, does InterSystems support transforming this response into an SDA segment automatically?
• Or should we manually parse and modify the response to handle it according to our needs?

What would be the best approach in this scenario

Hi experts, 

Please, I'd know how the best way to do freeze and thaw databases on windows.
I'll do freeze databases before snapshot and thaw after snapshot.
I think is necessary execute scripts. Please, do you know where can I found it?

Thank you.

Hi,

Can someone please tell me the correct way to get the property?

The property is dexcribed here:

Where is InterSystems IRIS Download for Windows (better free)?

In MySQL I have the following table:

CREATE TABLE `info` (
   `created` int(11)
);

And it is linked (via JDBC SQL Gateway) to Cache table mysql.info.  `created` field stores unix timestamp. So when I execute  this SQL in SMP:

SELECT created FROM mysql.info

I receive the following output (which is expected):

But I want to to display `created` field converted to ODBC timestamp format. To do that I call this SQL procedure

Class mysql.utils [ Abstract ]
{
/// Unix timestamp to ODBC
ClassMethod uto(unixstamp As %Integer) As %TimeStamp
