How to create an ODBC connection on your native Windows laptop to IRIS running on a Windows VM on the same computer, test the connection, and pull data from IRIS into Excel.

Recently I learned that Excel can connect to external databases via ODBC. This includes basically any ODBC data source. Since IRIS speaks ODBC via the ODBC API, we can take advantage of the InterSystems ODBC Driver to establish an ODBC connection to IRIS on Windows that Excel can utilize.

Is there a way to create and establish DICOM Association with Extended Negotiation? 

I have implemented DICOM Query/Retrieve C-FIND, using EnsLib.DICOM.Operation.TCP and EnsLib.DICOM.Process base classes. My application, acting as an SCU, needs to query by Study Date-Time (combined date-time matching) range with timezone query adjustment. For this, I need to use Extended Negotiation.

I've checked the IRIS Manual - Creating DICOM Associations section but there is no mention of this.

Customer is trying to use Veeam as backup of Cache database and we need a script to freeze (quiesce) the database for a clean snapshot. i am looking if there is a script already done.

The IRIS Installation Guide for Linux, Installation Directory section, says "Do not choose the /home directory, any of its subdirectories, or the /usr/local/etc/irissys directory." but there are no suggestions or any default.

What are your opinions on this? For example, I see that IRIS in a Docker container is installed in /usr/irissys. I'm wondering why that directory was chosen.

The official Linux filesystem docs say:

• /usr is the second major section of the filesystem. /usr is shareable, read-only data.

I HAVE A NEW SQL CLASS THAT DISPLAYS ENTRIES BASED ON THE FIRST 2 NODES OF A GLOBAL. I FOUND OUT THAT THE CLASS ALLOWS FOR AN ADDITIONAL NODE(s) TO BE INSERTED IN THE "User Specification Node:" along the delimiter and the Piece in the NewStorage Map1 for "ModifyDDDD" shown below. it is not working.

^GBL("AA","SSSSSS")="1:1:1:1:"

^GBL("AA,"MD",1,1)="1:"

^GBL("AA,"MD","A",1)="0:"

I HAVE USED THIS:

<Data name="ModifyDDDD">
<Delimiter>":"</Delimiter>
<Node>"3,4"</Node>
<Piece>1</Piece>
</Data>

WHILE IT COMPILES IT DISPLAY NOTHING. MY QUESTION IS WHAT IS THE RIGHT SYNTAX AND PUNTUATION FOR THIS, PLEASE?

Hi, Community!

Are you using InterSystems Cloud Services? See how to get support directly in the app:

Using iService for Cloud Product Support

InterSystems FAQ rubric

By default, the order of columns in a table is determined automatically by the system. To change the order, explicitly set the order for each property using the property keyword SqlColumnNumber when defining the class.

Example:

Property Name As %String [SqlColumnNumber = 2];

Please see the documentation below.

SqlColumnNumber

If you want to change the SQL table name, specify SqlTableName. If you want to change the column name (field name), specify SqlFieldName.

Both apply only to persistent classes.

New to Python.  Attempting to use pypyodbc to select data from a table in one Cache database, and inserting into a similarly configured table in another.  Process works fine except for tables containing Date types.  NULL values in date columns are handled without issue, but when data is present, insert fails with:

An error occurred: argument 7: TypeError: 'NoneType' object cannot be interpreted as an integer.

Source table:

CREATE TABLE "SAT"."AuditAttribute" (
    "ID"                 INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT $i(^SAT.

I'm trying to get the python external language server started up in a container I am starting. The container is up and running but I cannot get the python language server to start.
This is the error that is coming back when trying to start the language server. I have tried creating a custom image with that package installed but it still does not work. Is there something specific that needs to be done to to get this working? (FYI, I have the dotnet version working but creating a custom image and installing the dotnet runtimes via a docker file)
Base iris container:containers.intersystems.

I'm using a server side fonts control, with the userAction method, i'm using the action 3 (to open a zenPage). passing some info on the URL.

on Studio, the new windows opens fine and blurs the url values:

But doing this with the vs code server side command, the url keeps the values:

i can't have the same behavior on the vsCode and Studio.
The method Link on CSP.Page  doesn't work.

I'm trying to rewrite a legacy portal created with all .csp files into a portal written in .cls files. The problem I have is that the old cap pages use "csp:include page='page.csp'> tags. I'm trying to use the Include method  that is in the %CSP.Page master page. It doesn't seem to insert the required file. Any suggestions?
 

Hi,

A customer today asked whether we could offer anything like the nice lineage charts that dbt offers, based on SQL view metadata. They are very much aware of our dbt-iris adapter, but were asking in the context of their landing area, which combines foreign tables and views, ahead of possibly using dbt for onward transformations.

I just restarted an AWS instance that have been dormant for 6 months (license still valid) only to find that the web application on there doesn't work and that I cannot connect to the management portal. I can however connect to the web gateway fine but it reports the "Server is currently unavailable". 

Grateful any for any advice.

Good morning,

We frequently have the "Update" button that activates when launching scheduled tasks in our feeds.

Hey Community,

We’re excited to announce a new upgrade to Developer Community AI!

Now, in addition to Community posts and comments, Developer Community AI also pulls information from official InterSystems IRIS documentation to answer your questions. This new feature lets you customise your search sources so you get the most relevant answers tailored to your needs.

Just choose the sources and ask the question:

• Community posts
• InterSystems IRIS Documentation
• or both! 

Hello everyone, 
so lets say i have the following:

Hello
Q
say(arg)
    w arg
 Q

and i am trying to execute it by its name such as:

s a = "say^hello"

*execute the name inside a*
 

now I know for a fact that if say were written without any argument then do @a would work!

but I can I pass an argument in this case?
I don't want to use Xecute because I am in need of really high performance code.
 

Hi,

I've successfully installed and configured the custom MESH API supplied by intersystems. I'm able to send HTML rendered documents directly to GP's using Kettering.xml. 

Ideally, I'd like to be able to send PDF/RTF files rather than HTML. Is this possible and if so can I still use Kettering xml? I know FHIR is the preferred method of transmission but i've tried sending a test FHIR message through MESH to EMIS but it's not displaying so I'm not sure if EMIS is able to display FHIR formatted messages. 

Thanks.

I'm having an issue with sending SMTP requests from a specific Microsoft 365 account to Gmail accounts. We can use other Microsoft 365 accounts, but something about this one specific account sending to Gmail fails. The error we get is just telling us that sending to the user xxxxx@gmail.com failed. In order to troubleshoot that, I'm looking for more detail than that.

I see %Net.SMTP objects have a Debug property, but when I set it to 1, I can't see anything happening differently. What does that debug value do?

I assume IPM manifest tag UnitTest is tightly coupled with the standard unit test framework, right? However we have our own one that predates the standard one and we are not going to switch.

I think I need to import the unit test cases and then be able to run a single class method for the test run. Any ideas how this would be possible?

Hi,

I have a archive backup of a Cache database. I was able to restore the database but having trouble navigating through the globals, classes, namespaces .??? I am not a Cache user and/or developer so I am a bit lost. I am used to relational database such Microsoft SQL but not Cache which to my understand is a different breed of database. If you are looking for some extra money to help me extract some of the data I need i would be greatly appreciated.

Please email me at tamthnguyen@gmail.

When trying to build a custom container, I'm getting a <LICENSE LIMIT EXCEEDED> during the build process.

Will this stop the container for building? Do I need a license in order to build a custom container?

Hello,

Is there a programmatic way (in ObjectScript) to determine if a string is an SQL reserved word (aside from using embedded SQL to try to name a property with that string and look for the error :-))?

Thank you,

Hi Community,

I want to share with you the lastest app that I have uploaded to the Open Exchange "IrisGoogleChat". 

IrisGoogleChat is a utility for InterSystems IRIS that allows seamless message integration with Google Chat using Cache ObjectScript. This application provides a set of tools to configure Google Chat Channels, create messages powered by moods generated with AI and send them to a Google Chat Channel.

In order to provide the desired mood to your messages you will need an API key and an organization ID of OpenAI Chat GPT.

Is it some certain class, method, global, api, application or neither? If the entity is some of this what is the syntax?
 

I have a business process that adds data to a global variable on receipt of an HL7 message, and a scheduled task that executes a class method defined within the same business process that removes data from the same global variable. With this in mind it makes sense to consider concurrency and therefore make use of the LOCK command.

My first question is whether this is actually necessary?

September 24, 2018 – Advisory: VMWare vSAN and Data Integrity

Clients running vSAN 6.6 or later should review a very important article that VMware published on September 21, 2018.  The article describes the possibility of file system and database corruption, which can lead to outages and possible data loss, and we believe that some of our clients have encountered this issue.  Therefore, we encourage you to act on this as soon as possible.

The VMWare knowledge base article is titled:

Virtual Machines running on VMware vSAN 6.6 and later report guest data consistency concerns following a disk extend operation (58715)

Intersystems provides External language server connections for various languages which,
from a development perspective, is great as I can keep my application code separate but still interact with the IRIS kernel.

It becomes more complex though if you are using Interoperability etc where you might end up with some code in IRIS and some code in another language.
What would be great is having an IRIS to IRIS language server where the application code and stay IRIS based but separate from the database?
