After almost four years on hiatus, my CI/CD series is back! Over the years, I have worked with several InterSystems clients, developing CI/CD pipelines for different use cases. I hope the information presented in this article will be helpful to someone.

This series of articles discusses several possible approaches toward software development with InterSystems technologies and GitLab.

We have an exciting range of topics to cover: today, let's talk about things beyond the code - namely configurations and data.

InterSystems is currently seeking full stack developers to join our healthcare development teams. Strong software design and development skills are required. Developers work with their scrum teams to scope, design, plan, and implement features to support healthcare systems globally. You will further develop skills such as database schema design, performance monitoring, working in client-side frameworks, and clean object-oriented coding.

In addition to industry-standard coding languages and frameworks, our stack leverages a full suite of InterSystems technologies. The IRIS data platform and database-coupled language give us access to the entire technology stack down to the compilers and database structures.

I have a SOAP web service on an IRIS system. From within the code of the WebMethod I would like to log the remote IP address of the client. Is there any way to get access to the client's IP address from the ObjectScript code in the SOAP service? This will save me some headaches correlating logs from IRIS with web server logs.

Hi all

I'm testing migrating our existing installers (without ZPM) using the docker dev template as a basis with a commercial image and licence key.

So far everything builds as I expect, but the one issue I have is the production doesn't apply itself automatically.

In my iris.script I have custom installer that uses this manifest below but it does not observe the last three steps

<Namespace Name="${DataNamespace}" Create="no">
  <Invoke name="Credentials" Class="GOJ.IrisApp.Install.

I'm trying to develop monitoring API for the following requirements:

Hi,

I am receiving a JSON File as Stream container Using  pRequest As Ens.StreamContainer and output as  Output pResponse As %Persistent in a Custom Business Operation 

Please find the code below

Method OnMessage(pRequest As Ens.StreamContainer, Output pResponse As %Persistent) As %Status
{
    Set tFilename=..Adapter.CreateFilename(##class(%File).GetFilename(pRequest.OriginalFilename),..Filename)
    Set tSC=..Adapter.PutStream(tFilename, pRequest.Stream)
    Quit tSC
}

Question:How can i extract name,DOB,SSN from the pRequest and save the same values in SQL persistant

Hi,

I have tried to install the module git-source-control into my USER namespace, but get the following error.

ERROR! ObjectScript error: SQL error(s) have occurred during the running of the 'statsINFO()' method.  Invoke the following method for additional details: set errID=##class(%SYS.PTools.Stats).getPToolsError(...)  WHERE errRowID={2763|2764}>
  > ERROR #6084: Unknown errors detected, but no error code reported

This module works from other namespaces.   I decided to re-install the latest published version of ZPM, and tried to install git-source-control class again and get this now:

AtScale pulls data from the IRIS database. 

The AtScale product forms a virtual OLAP cube on the intermediate layer, which external applications can access using standard SQL and MDX (Multidimensional Expressions) languages. The solution includes three main components.

Design Center is used for designing OLAP cubes, forming links between metadata and dimensions of a virtual cube. Along with the task of designing a data schema, the issues of access policy to certain data and security are also solved here.

Hi all,

I'm trying to convert a HL7 section to a XML or JSON string.

We need to save the content of PID section into a SQL Column, therefore we need to convert it into a XML o JSON string

is there any easy way to convert it?

I've tried to convert it directly into a DTL, but all my attempts have been unsuccessful

Best regards,

Francisco Lopez

Im playing whack a mole importing an IG (which is a fairly typical exercise with fhir packages) through FHIR packages, and getting at some parts I cant seem to work around with some store errors...
Im getting MAXSTRING on `hl7.terminology.r4`:

I am trying to use the IRIS connection to connect from our LIS to Health Connect (ENSEMBLE) directly.  You can do this in the same namespace using this:

I ##class(Ens.Director).CreateBusinessService(Ensemble Service Name,.theService)
I theService.ProcessInput(TRAN,.response)

I would like to be able to do the same thing across servers using IRIS connection.  I have the following connection:

                set connection = ##class(%Net.DB.DataSource).CreateConnection(host, port, namespace, user, pwd)
                if 'connection.

Hey Developers,

Enjoy watching the new video on InterSystems Developers YouTube channel:

⏯ What is Embedded Python

I am new to zen framework. I wanted to use Angular with in Zen framework. 
If we can integrate both frameworks. Please help me in finding some resources to refer.

Process Mining( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_mining) is becoming more and more popular in IT industry. I wonder that since all processes are stored and managed in IRIS/Health Connect, any one hs developed similar functions on IRIS? Thx! 

Hi there have been various posts around how to clean up globals without parent data but none have gone into how you solve these issues. 

Our database is approaching 600gb in size so i am looking into how to reduce this. 

We use standard purge tasks. 

Our cache stream class has a global size of 2463243 from running global size so it is what i would like to tackle first. 

1) is there any way i can find based on my oldest message session for where most of these globals 

2) in the class where these are created what can be done to ensure purping. Basically we have 

set sIn=##class(%GlobalBinaryStream).

Anyone have a X12 schema for 852 types concerning supply chain?

Healthcare interoperability is instrumental in improving patient care, decreasing healthcare provider costs, and providing a more accurate picture to providers. However, with so many different systems, data is formatted in many different ways. There are many standards that have been created to try to solve this problem, including HL7v2, HL7v3, and CDA but each one has its drawbacks.

FHIR, or Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources, is a new format for healthcare data that aims at solving these problems.

Hi guys, I'm calling a java method as below:

public static byte[] SM4EncryptJson(byte[] arg0) throws Throwable {

String inJson = "";

try {

//logger.info("Payload :" + arg0);

inJson = new String(arg0);

//logger.info("As String :" + inJson);

EncTarget payload = JSON.parseObject(inJson, EncTarget.class);

return SM4Encrypt(payload.getContent().getBytes(),payload.getSecretKey());

}catch (Exception e){

logger.error("Error encrypting : ", e);

logger.error("Content : " + arg0);

logger.error("As String : " + new String(arg0));

//logger.log(Level.SEVERE, e.

Hi，guys

My client is using IRIS 2021.1 Interoperability and they want to highlight the sessions with unresolved(without resent and completed operations) errors so their maintenance team can have a list of unresolved sessions to check against.

When I'm working on it, it seems to be it is is difficult to decide whether a session have unresolved errors. For example,

in this session, the entry async request is labelled as error after the following dispatches was resent and completed. So it is not correct to decide with the entry.

Does anyone have any pointers or maybe familiarity of making Email templates in Objectscript?

I'm currently trying to implement Televisits with our system and am needing to send an email to the patient. I'd like to make it a nicer looking email which will require a good amount of inline CSS. I currently have a method, but is very much a sore sight for the eyes.

I was wondering if there was a way I could use Embedded HTML and pass that into the DO msg.TextData.Write command with the ##class(%Net.MailMessage)? 

I running a query and get the results inside a result set. Now I have to iterate through the result set many times. From the doc I've seen only the Next() method. Is there a way to reset the cursor? Otherwise what is a good data structure to save multiple rows of a table?

My code in this case is something like this:

   set sql = "SELECT * FROM MY_TABLE WHERE X= '"_Y_"'"
   set status = ..Adapter.ExecuteQuery(.rs, sql)
    // somehow iterate the rs more than one time

I am aware that we have 5 License Units on Community Edition. But I have issues figuring out how it's working.

I have Community Edition

USER>write $system.License.KeyCustomerName()
InterSystems IRIS Community

Freshly started system, only terminal session open, so, only one license units used, and 4 left. As expected

USER>write $system.License.LUConsumed()
1
USER>write $system.License.LUAvailable()
4

Quote from documentation - $SYSTEM.License.MaxConnections() returns the maximum number of connections a user can make while consuming one license unit. 

USER>write $system.License.MaxConnections()
25

Hello,

Is it possible to read an Office 365-mailbox over POP3 with OAUTH.

Basic authentication doesn't work anymore.

I am trying to avoid parsing the SDA3 stream in each process. I am doing some section wise validation in different processes so i need to pass the SDA3 to each process.

When i pass that SDA3 stream that takes a lot of space in HD and takes a lot of time to parse the SDA3 object.

Is there any way that once i parse that SDA3 i can pass the same object to other processes, and i can save my storage and process that fast.

I cannot pass this by default to other process as non persistent object cannot be passed to another job(as per my finding).

Any leads will be great.

Hi all

I have a pair of servers configured as a mirror, each server sits in a separate data centre.

I have noticed that occasionally, the primary will report that the backup is disconnected in the Mirror Monitor, and I believe this to be due to connection conditions between the two data centres.

What I want to do is log the status of both servers from the primary on a regular basis using a service. I know %System.Mirror can return the status of the current member, but how can I log the get the status of the other member as well?

Cheers

Hello, new user here ! My admin granted me all access to the domain I'm working on. Nonetheless, I'm unable to perform simple SQL queries such as creating a table or an index.

What I have tried :

• Creating a table : within the namespace I've been granted access to, I'm trying to create a table with 2 methods :

  • Basic query : CREATE TABLE test.hello_world (col1 INTEGER, col2 VARCHAR) This raises the error :

  [SQLCODE: <-400>:<Fatal error occurred>] [%msg: <Exception caught during dSQL statement %Execute: <PROTECT> ^rINDEXCLASS("HS.JSON.

I've faced a problem that happens while debugging a process in VSCode. It doesn't seem to matter if this is in a container, on my development VM, or against a locally installed version of IRIS. The problem seems to be mostly with X12 Documents.

So, in a debug session, I can dump out a value to the debug console and it loos correct. The same variable in VSCode appears to be some uninitialized memory location.

In the interactive debugger window:

In the Variables Window:

Host Workstation:

It's not all variables, as you can see, and it always seems to to be same garbage values that get populated.
