  • They write code using ObjectScript, Python, and SQL, with most exercises offering the choice between ObjectScript and Python, and some exercises requiring a

Hi,

A SFTP server on which we connect has increased its security level by disabling the use of the ssh-rsa algorithm
Since then, SFTP connections with ssh keys are no longer made through Intersytems but through tools such as FileZila and Putty.Looking at the Logs I see that the generated ssh key of type RSA supports other modern algorithms such as rsa-sha2-256 / rsa-sha2-512 ...I wanted to know if the Intersystems SFTP client supports modern algorithms?Or is there an ssh configuration that excludes rsa-sha2 algorithms that will need to be disabled?

The question I have is if I run an External backup this library rotuine is called:
##Class(Backup.General).ExternalFreeze()

Is there a command I can run that shows me the Iris system is frozen due to the call to ##Class(Backup.General).ExternalFreeze()?

If the system is frozen I cannot sign into Iris terminal session.

I backup the IRIS server using Veeam. Veeam calls the "freeze" script, snapshots the server in VMWare, then calls the "thaw" script.
Veeam then backs up the VMWare snapshot.

I have had cases where Iris was frozen and I'm guessing this could be caused by a call to

Hi,

I'm using embedded Python as follows:

AUMHTESTTC01:%SYS>do ##class(%SYS.Python).Shell()
Python 3.6.15 (default, Sep 232021, 15:41:43) [GCC] on linux
Type quit() or Ctrl-D to exit this shell.
>>> import iris
>>> mirror=iris.cls('SYS.Mirror')
>>> pri=[]
>>> alt=[]
>>> status=mirror.GetFailoverMemberStatus(pri,alt)
>>> print(status)
1>>> print(pri)
[]
>>> print(alt)
[]
>>> exit()

However the equivalent ObjectScript works:

%SYS>set sc=##class(SYS.Mirror).GetFailoverMemberStatus(.pri,.alt)
%SYS>zw pri
pri=$lb("SERVERA.FOO.BAR.ORG/STAGE","SERVERA.foo.bar.org|2188","Primary","Acti

I'm working on some code that would benefit from being able to see whether or not a project file has been saved in Studio.
I can see when I make changes, that the project name has an asterisk added to it:

In searching for it, however, I haven't been able to find any methods or calls to access the property/check that controls that asterisk.
My question is whether anyone out there knows if that is accessible and if so then how can it be accessed.
I'd like to add a check in my code that enforces that the project file must be saved prior to proceeding with the intended action.

In the previous article. Practices of class members and their execution within embedded Python. We will now turn our attention to the process of switching namespaces, accessing global variables , traversing and routine executions within embedded Python.

Before proceeding to the other functions. let us briefly review the execute function within the iris package. This function is exceptionally beneficial for executing the arbitrary ObjectScript functions and class invocation.

I inherited some legacy MUMPS / ObjectScript code. A code review identified an exclusive NEW and that is not allowed per our coding standards.

The original code contains:

RUN(CALL,DRVNAME)
 S $EC=""
 S ^TMP($J,"RMPV","DRVNAME")=DRVNAME
 N TMPFILE,OLDIO
 S OLDIO=$IO
 I $G(^TMP("RMPV","SILENT"),1) S IOP="NULL",%ZIS=0 D ^%ZIS I '$G(POP,1) U IO
 D INIT^@DRVNAME
 D  ; scope variables
 .N (DUZ,CALL) ; Protect %response
 .S IOF="""""",IOM=80,U="^"
 .D @CALL
 U OLDIO
 Q

I attempted to replace Exclusive NEW with a ClassMethod in a procedure block as follows:

RUN(CALL,DRVNAME) ;primary entry point
 Set ^OLIVER(0-$I(^

In your Interoperability Production you could always have a Business Operation that is an HTTP client, that uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication, but you had to customize the Operation for this authentication methodology. Since v2024.3, which was lately released, there is a new capability, providing new settings, to handle this more easily.

Hello everyone! This is my first post into the developer community and one that I hope is fairly simple to answer. In our environment we currently have 3 different Test environments for testing before migrating code to our Prod environment. Currently we are working on establishing a source control method using Git in house which has been a bit of a struggle. We have also had developers that had used different test and migration methods in the past which has caused some issues with keeping the different test environment in sync.

What I am looking for is an option to either copy a whole

Hi,

I want to use IRIS Report Designer please anyone knows do we have community edition and where we can get license for it - Thanks.

The IKO documentation is robust. A single web page, that consists of about 50 actual pages of documentation. For beginners that can be a bit overwhelming. As the saying goes: how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. Let's start with the first bite: helm.

What is Helm?

Helm is to Kubernetes what the InterSystems Package Manager (IPM, formerly ObjectScript Package Manager - ZPM) is to IRIS.

It facilitates the installation of applications on the platform - in a fashion suitable for Kubernetes.

Hi Community,

I need to remove first tag from a XML file in service and send  file to the  process ,how do i remove line from the File and process it 

Thanks,

I need to use a context variable in my code block for the table to query. When I use :content.table, it does not work.  When using the literal, it does.  How do I get the :context to work?

An X12 / 271 message shows "Completed" on the BO. However, it did not reach its destination. I searched for more information on what the error means but, couldn't find much. See error enclosed below. Any idea what it means and how to fix it?

More info...

• The IOLog Record shows in the Output Data an error... "An error occurred with the web application. It has been logged to system error log (System Operation > System Logs > Application Error Log)."
• The EDI response shows the same message... "An error occurred with the web application...." 
• I re-sent the message from the BO and it went out

While working with GET request I encountered this situation where FHIR Server return a responseStatusHTTP "HTTP/1.1 200 200" instead of "HTTP/1.1 200 OK" (as highlighted in the attached screenshot).

Although the response code seems valid, these bundles have a total value of 0.

Could anyone clarify what "200 200" signifies in this context? Is there an issue with my setup, or does this indicate a specific condition related to the empty bundle search?

Thank you in advance for your help!

As part of a migration project from a bunch of java classes to IRIS, we need to maintain a few jar files due to some external dependencies.

The problem I am seeing is that I cannot pass a byte array ( byte[] ) from ObjectScript to the Java Class. I have tried a number of different ways

I have reproduced in a java class and Objectscript class:
Java Class:

package wrc;

publicclassTestJava{
    
    publicstaticvoidtestByteArr(byte[] keyBytes){

        System.out.println("keyBytes getClass() = " + keyBytes.getClass() );
        System.out.println("keyBytes toString() = " +

I'm attempting to streamline a process for renaming PDF documents received from multiple vendors to conform to a specification provided by an EMR vendor for ingestion.Things like Document ID, Document Type, Date of Service, Account Number, MRN, etc.all must be included in the filename at defined offsets and lengths.Most of the required values can be extracted from the inbound file's name and the few remaining are static values that would be the same (or handled via a lookup table based on source) for all documents.

InterSystems has corrected a defect that causes invalid database and journal records to be introduced when using a specific $LIST syntax. The likelihood of encountering this defect is very low but the operational impacts can be significant.

I am hoping for some guidance.

I am new to creating a new chart in Trakcare for use with Clinical Viewer.  My organization only has LDAP users, (we don't have the ability to use local users), that dictate what role/group a user is in, they are all the same across our Prod, Test, and Dev environments. 

I need to customize a chart for our end users. BUT the how-to's all talk about creating a custom role for the new chart, which if I do this I would have to be added to this role/group which could cause issues with my ability to work in Prod and Test.

In tracking down some of our Orphaned message issues, I was wondering if setting our EnsLib.SQL.Snapshot variable equal to "" was the same as calling the .Clean() method on EnsLib.SQL.Snapshot? Are they the same?

should I be possibly using ##class(EnsLib.SQL.Snapshot).%Delete() instead?

Hi, I'm trying to use the iris python package to create a connection to and Iris Health instance (Docker Container), but getting and error. I can login to the instance using the UI with the same uname/password but unable to create the python connection. Any suggestions?

I'm glad to announce the new version of IoP, which by the way is not just a command line. I'm saying because the new AI search engine still thinks that IoP is just a command line. But it's not. It's a whole framework for building applications on top of the interoperability framework of IRIS with a python first approach.

The new version of IoP: 3.2.0 has a lot of new features, but the most important one is the support of DTL . 🥳

For both IoP messages and jsonschema. 🎉

DTL Support

Starting with version 3.2.0, IoP supports DTL transformations.

DTL the Data Transformation Layer in IRIS Interoperability.

DTL transformations are used to transform data from one format to another with a graphical editor. It supports also jsonschema structures.
