With the introduction of vector data types and the Vector Search functionality in IRIS, a whole world of possibilities opens up for the development of applications and an example of these applications is the one that I recently saw published in a public contest by the Ministry of Health from Valencia in which they requested a tool to assist in ICD-10 coding using AI models.

How could we implement an application similar to the one requested? Let's see what we would need:

1. List of ICD-10 codes, which we will use as context for our RAG application to search for diagnoses within the plain texts.
2. A

I need to make changes to  OBX 5 which shows as immutable

I have tried ConstructClone, ThrowOnError, and Streams but I can't get the syntax correct

Example

OBX|1|TX|2000.02^REASON FOR REQUEST^AS4|142|REASON FOR REQUEST:      Total Cost:           0.00||||||O
                                        ^^^^ remove "REASON FOR REQUEST"                                                                            ^^ add cr/lf so down stream reports can be formatted more easily

I have the code done to parse out the "REASON FOR REQUEST" but I need to make the OBX 5 show the change.

Before:

OBX|1|TX|2000.02^REAS

You can use the WriteToConsoleLog method of the %SYS.System class to write any message to the console log.

The following is an example:

%SYS>write##class(%SYS.System).WriteToConsoleLog("xxxxx log message",0,0)
1

For details on the parameters that can be specified in the WriteToConsoleLog method, please refer to the following document:

Hello,

I tried to define Pool Size in System Default Settings, but it is not being used. I see I am not the first to try this without success:

Any suggestions?

I'm working with routes for a rest service with intersystems iris. I have a working /test path, but I want to create a regex that accepts any path passed after /test. example /test/sdjklsbdk or /test/sdfkjgbskdbf/skjbksdb/ksdjbdks

I used <Route Url="/test/(.*)" Method="POST" Call="test"/> and <Route Url="/test/:path" Method="POST" Call="test"/> and I got the error <PARAMETER> what could it be?

Hi Community,

We're continuing to improve and teach our Developer Community AI, and in this iteration, we've added descriptions of Open Exchange Applications to the knowledge base!

This new feature will allow DC AI to search app descriptions to answer your questions. This will give you better answers that require programming, not just general information.

To add this knowledge to your search, just tick the checkbox Open Exchange Applications:

Here is my code:

Method getStocks(pRequest As Stock.Message.Req, Output pResponse As Ens.StreamContainer) As %Status
{
     s tSC = pRequest.NewResponse(.pResponse)
     q:$$$ISERR(tSC) tSC

     #dim pRS As EnsLib.SQL.GatewayResultSet

     s tSC = ..Adapter.ExecuteQuery(.pRS, "select jsonb_agg(s) #>> '{}' FROM prod.stocks s where s.""Warehouse"" = ?", pRequest.Warehouse)

Hello interface engineers and app developers,     

Did you know that you can use Python in productions or integrations?

The production configuration user interface is low-code, but in many projects, you may reach a point where you need to write some code. As discussed in the Integration Architecture course, business processes are full of places for inserting code, specifically the BPL editor (for BPL business processes) and the DTL editor (for data transformations).

😯 As of InterSystems IRIS 2025.1, both Python and InterSystems ObjectScript are supported in the BPL and DTL editors.

Greetings,

Is it possible to change the date format from YYYYMMDDHHMMSS to YYYYMMDD in a DTL? How?

I tried ConvertDateTime() without success. 

I'm using Iris for Health

Thank you!

Is there a generic process for "walking" the structure of a virtual document - eg an HL7 message (EnsLib.HL7.Message) or an XML document (EnsLib.EDI.XML.Document).

At least we'd want to be able to visit all "nodes" (HL7 fields or sub-fields, XML nodes) in the virtual document and be able to work out/generate the Property Path (so we could call "GetValueAt"). 

We can just about come up with something generic for HL7, since it only nests down to 4 levels within each segment, though we're using numeric Property Path's at that point rather than symbolic ones (MSH:1.3 etc).

Hi!
I have question about MDX functionality in context of IRIS Analytics.

How does IRIS MDX distinct selection works? Is there any restruqtion when analyzing strings? Like special symbols or length?
Here is an example
I have this data:
 6 rows and 2 of them unique
Then we create data cube based on this model and examine it with Analyzer
 
Detailed listing 
6 rows an ONE unique string. Which is obviously not true. 
This happed only with string with symbols in it
My task is to get the right amount of unique strings

Hi all.

I'm trying to create an indexed table with an vector field so I can search by the vector value.
I've been investigating and found that to get the vector value based on the text (token), use a Python method like the following:

ClassMethod TokenizeData(desc As%String) As%String [ Language = python ]
{
    import iris
    # Step 2: Generate Document Embeddings
    from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer

    model = SentenceTransformer('/opt/irisbuild/all-MiniLM-L6-v2')

    # Generate embeddings for each document
    document_embeddings = model.encode(desc)

    r

I have a HL7 DTL in which I'm doing a lookup to a table based on a code value in the IN1:3 field. That incoming code may have a 1 to 1 mapping, or 1 to many mapping in a table. If it's a 1 to many, the values in the lookup table are comma delimited. If it's 1 to 1, that IN1 segment will map straight across. If it's one to many, I need to create additional IN1 segments. For example, if the incoming code maps to three, I need to map the original IN1 segment with one of the mapped codes, then create two additional IN1 segments with the other 2 codes for a total of 3 IN1 segments.

it apears the iris is not using the right way to answer the OpenMetrics the way Prometheus want.

Hi All,

  After doing IRIS/Ensemble etc for 20 years I've come across a company who have very odd view, especially about DTL's and routers.

  They have convinced themselves to use COS for transforms (including HL7) and for routers (and one of their 3rd party providers agree!)

  Their reasons are; efficiency, compatibility, flexibility, power and re-usability.

  Of course these reasons are wrong!

• Efficiency, difference between 1-2 lines compared to a DTL/XML going to 3-4 lines (This also assumes the COS code is well written)
• Compatibility, surely less with COS as its subject to developer style?
