How do you collect stack info when debugging non-interactive jobs?

I cobbled this together today from the docs, but maybe there's something pre-built? LOG^%ETN()?

set stack = ""
for loop=0:1:$STACK(-1) { 
      set stack = stack _ "Context level:" _ loop _ " Context type: " _ $STACK(loop) _ $c(10,13) _
                          "  Current place: " _ $STACK(loop,"PLACE") _ $c(10,13) _
                          "  Current source: " _$STACK(loop,"MCODE") _ $c(10,13)
}

I am starting a conversion project for a health system that is currently migrating to Health Connect. They have their DEV and TST environments in one production and their PRD in another.  What is the best practice for standing up conversion environments...separate name spaces in the two productions or separate productions? Keep in mind the interfaces are temporary?

Hello,

I'm using the .Net C# IRIS client and trying to create a HS.Data.OIDMap object which contains a $LIST property (.IdentityTypes). I am able to create the object using the .NET client, however when trying to create and assign the list object I get a "List cannot contain of type IrisObject".
Documentation for HS.Data.OIDMap https://docs.intersystems.com/irisforhealth20243/csp/documatic/%25CSP.Documatic.cls?LIBRARY=HSSYS&PRIVATE=1&CLASSNAME=HS.Data.OIDMap 

My question is two fold

1. How to do you set a object property that is a list that needs to container other IrisObjects?

Hello there 🙋‍♂️,

I'm looking towards a functionality alike Python's difflib, but made with Intersystems products. I already know could embed Python code within IRIS but thought maybe there was a development already done for handling deltas, with a different approach or extra utils.

Even if I find such a library after comparing both might still go with difflib or any other more suitable. Intend to use it for a cross-environment checklist/check tool.

Please find below a sample of HTML rendering computed and made with difflib, with a few lines of code:

thanks ! best regards,  

The FHIR standard establishes a powerful but flexible data model that can smoothly adapt to the complexities of operational healthcare data management. This flexibility comes at the cost of a data model with many tables and relationships, even for simple data such as the patient's record of telephone numbers, addresses, and emails. It would easily require querying 4 different tables. However, FHIR SQL Builder eliminates this problem, allowing you to create visual projections (mappings) in web wizards.

Hi Guys,

I get the attached error when trying to populate JSON string into a textarea, I'm running IRIS 2024 in a container in Ubuntu, any clues what could be the problem? 

Thanks

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 ,

          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

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? 

Thank you.

Hi Community!

Thank you to everyone who participated in the "Help Us Improve the DC Search" sweepstakes! Your feedback is invaluable in making the Developer Community better, and we will use it to improve our search. Now, it's time to announce the winner - watch the video to see the sweepstake drawing:

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.

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?

We are calling a REST web-service from Ensemble using EnsLib.HTTP.OutboundAdapter and redefining the adapter class to set custom headers as described by @Eduard Lebedyuk here: How to set Content-Type

During development we accidentally stumbled across puzzling behaviour - we now suspect that the %Net.HttpRequest object created in the linked example is being reused in the following scenario:

1. request is created as described and sent to web-service, so an instance of a %Net.HttpRequest object exists and is known to the EnsLib.HTTP.

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 differ, and how they are used in ObjectScript. Many things could be written as either. For instance, suppose we had a class called “User.Person” with a property called “Name”.

As you may know, the so-called Private Web Server that came with every IRIS installation has been eliminated, making an external web server necessary.

For Docker deployments, it's most common to use the webgateway image (available here) along with the IRIS image to seamlessly access the management portal. This image can be configured to access via HTTPS without any issues by configuring the certificates.

Problem 1: Unable to verify the first certificate

Your SSL connection through the web gateway may have a self-signed certificate configured, and Visual Studio Code is attempting to verify it.

Hello everybody ! 
My colleagues and I were wondering why the varstring class is hidden in the Intersystems documentation.
Is it "safe" to use ? We tried looking it up in the forum and it seems like it is used by other developpers. Is there anything we should know before using it ? 

Thanks! 

Alan

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?

The Find and Replace screen in Studio has a capability of searching for ^ with Match Element Type set to Global Variable. Maybe I could use that but what is the ObjectScript function behind this screen if any?
