I have two instances of IRIS, one is Production and another one is Staging (both managed by Docker) and I want to set up a full daily recover of the Staging server from a full backup of the Production server. I know how to do this manually using the DBREST utility, as well as how to make a copy of the database by making a full copy of the durable directory (however this option requires a full stop of the Production-database). What is the best way to automatically restore all databases from a full backup using scripting?

Hi,

We’re launching an Early Access Program for an upcoming Table Partitioning feature that will help IRIS customers manage very large tables, and distribute row data and associated indices across databases and storage tiers. Table Partitioning cuts deep into the core of IRIS relational data management, so we want to make sure we get things right through working with a few engaged customers who can provide feedback on the initial deliverables, and fine-tune as needed.

Hi ,

I am creating a report on Trakcare with the help of Jreport. But the date parameter from trakcare is not reading on Jreport and the report is blank.

If I hardcode the date on Jreport,it is displaying on Trakcare but not taking report from Trakcare.

Parameter used on report manager on Trakcare is $g(%request.Data("DateFrom",1)).

Can anyone please tell me any change of settings on Trakcare or Jreport will help to work ?

Thanks for the help

Jude

Hi,

My HL7 interface in production is outputting messages to a HL7 File Operation and a EnsLib.HL7.Operation.HTTPOperation. There is no errors in the File Operation, but the HL7 HTTPOperation is giving ERROR #5911: Character Set 'iso-8859-4' not installed, unable to perform character set translation. Both the HL7 File Operation and HL7 HTTP Operation are using latin1 for Default Char Encoding.

What is ERROR #5911 about? Is something missing in the IRIS installation?

Have you ever been editing files in VS Code, but needed to check a global value or run a few ObjectScript commands? Now you can, with no setup required! If you have vscode-objectscript extension version 2.10.0 or later and are connected to InterSystems IRIS 2023.2 or later, you can now open a terminal connection to your server, regardless of where it's located.

There are three ways to open this new terminal:

I have the need to query an external database and write the result set/snapshot to an internal %Persistent [ DdlAllowed ] table that I built. I have built inbound SQL Services before and write them externally to replace SSIS jobs, but how would querying a database via a Service and writing the data to an internal table work?

Can I just take the inbound query structure and write it to the class file of the internal table in a DTL? If so, what would be the Target? Or does this need to be done within a BPL as a Code block?

Method or Class Method?

For programmers new to ObjectScript, one question will inevitably arise: “What is the difference between methods and class methods?” A typical answer would be: “A class method applies to a class, but a method applies to an instance of that class.” While that answer is correct, it lacks important information on how these methods di

Is there a way in ObjectScript to return the OS user of the superserver? I know %SYS.ProcessQuery can find this for a given process but is there a clean way independent of a specific process ID I can find the OS user used for background jobs?

For IRIS this is usually irisusr and Caché this is usually cacheusr but may vary based on installation and upgrade history of an instance. I would find it very useful to determine programmatically if a process is running as this particular user when the username may vary.

The task is to find all globals that are referenced in certain routines. I could search for ^ using class(%Studio.Project).FindInFiles but that would also find ^ in comments and function calls. I can distinguish between a global and a function call visually, but it would be lovely to be able to skip function calls programmatically. Is it possible?

Introduction

A REST API (Representational State Transfer) is an interface that allows different applications to communicate with each other through the HTTP protocol, using standard operations such as GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE. REST APIs are widely used in software development to expose services accessible by other applications, enabling integration between different systems.

After so many years of waiting, we finally got an official driver available on Pypi

Additionally, found JDBC driver finally available on Maven already for 3 months, and .Net driver on Nuget more than a month.

As an author of so many implementations of IRIS support for various Python libraries, I wanted to check it. Implementation of DB-API means that it should be replaceable and at least functions defined in the standard. The only difference should be in SQL.

And the beauty of using already existing libraries, that they already implemented other databases by using DB-API standard, and these libraries already expect how driver should work.

I decided to test InterSystems official driver by implementing its support in SQLAlchemy-iris library.

Recently, the question came up while discussing the access to the data stored in IRIS from different languages with my students if it was possible to initiate the connection and get data from Cloud solution (InterSystems IRIS CloudSQL) from Microsoft Excel, not the other way around. Considering the many varied ways one can get data in Excel (import data from external sources, connecting to databases using ODBC drivers, using power queries and web queries etc.) the obvious choice was to try ODBC driver. The only task left was to try to connect to the database in the cloud using the ODBC driver.
