Earlier this year I announced availability of a VS Code extension for coding in ObjectScript, Embedded Python or SQL using the notebook paradigm popularized by Jupyter. Today I published a maintenance release to correct a "getting started" problem.

Here's a video of the installation steps from the extension's README:

Why not try it for yourself?

When developing a new Interoperability Production, it is quite natural that settings are initially added in the Production.

However, as soon as you want to move the Production from development to a test or staging environment, it becomes clear that some settings like HTTP Servers, IP addresses and/or ports need to be changed. In order to avoid these settings being overwritten during a redeployment later on, it is essential that you move these settings from the Production to the System Default settings.

Creating System Default settings manually is possible, but will become hard when you have

Dear community, my company use intersystems iris, a old version of 2019 and centos 7.9

At the moment, we are faced with a rather strange luck of iris.

Every day during working hours, we receive a error that iris primary cannot transfer the journal to the backup node.

We have availability monitoring, these errors do not affect availability in any way, but I still wanted to analyze this error.

I understand that the severity of this error is only 1, but Can someone share a diagnostic method this error?

The best way to list, edit, save and delete globals is using an IDE. Now, it is possible if you use VSCode. It is also possible to save globals using yaml files. Perform the following steps:

1. Get an InterSystems IRIS instance and install the application iris-global-yaml: 

zpm:USER>install iris-global-yaml

2. If you just to want an InterSystems IRIS trial for tests git clone and run on docker:

git clone https://github.com/yurimarx/iris-global-yaml.git
docker-compose up -d --build

OK.... based on what I have done.... I am able to 

1. Query Track information by making use of the Spotify API

2. Store the necessary data into my own album, artists, and track table

so.... what next?🤔 How about I set up my own REST API service on my IRIS for the other people to query my table?🤔🤨

ok... 1st... start from document Introduction to Creating REST Services

so we have 2 ways to implement a REST service on

Hello and welcome to the Developer Ecosystem News, Fourth Quarter!

This last quarter of the year was full of exciting activities in the InterSystems Developer Ecosystem. In case you missed something, we've prepared for you a selection of the hottest news and topics to catch up on!

You'll find the original text and all my Advent of Code efforts in different programming languages in https://bitbucket.org/janihur/advent-of-code/src/master/

ObjectScript code discussed here is found in https://bitbucket.org/janihur/advent-of-code/src/master/objectscript

I have been using ObjectScript only on last 1,5 years maybe 30% of my working time but the code at work is very different than in these puzzles. You can find my random code snippets and learning notes from https://github.com/janihur/objectscript-ex

This is the first time using ObjectScript during the contest.

We have released IPM 0.9.0. I previously remarked on some of the history and reasoning here; to summarize, this is a big release for two reasons: it represents a long-overdue reunification of our internal and community-driven work around IRIS-centric ObjectScript package management, and it has some backwards incompatibilities. There are several necessary backwards incompatibilities in our roadmap, and we've lumped them together; this will not be some new norm.

Under the hood, the class naming and package structure has completely changed.

Hi fellow developers in InterSystems IRIS!

I'm often being asked, especially related to technical bonuses we encourage for every Open Exchange contest why do we constantly give bonuses for Docker, IPM and ObjectScript Quality pass.

In fact, this is very easy to answer.

Last Chapter: Creating a REST client to get Tracks from Spotify REST API - Part3 Get some data (e.g. Artists)

Git link: https://github.com/ecelg/InterSystems-IRIS-as-a-Spotify-REST-client

OK we create a method to get data and lets try to get some Tracks 😁

Now open a terminal and test the code

Run the following line

w ##class(rest.utli.requestUtli).getdata("Spotify","/search","offset=5&limit=10&query=Shape%20of%20you&type=track&market=SG")

ooooo no seems there is huge among of data returns.....😥

I would like to know what information can be found in 1 track....🤔 how about only query 1 track?

let's try

Git link: https://github.com/ecelg/InterSystems-IRIS-as-a-Spotify-REST-client

Recently, I come up an idea in my mind that how can I put my playlist on IRIS.🧐

At the same time, I was told to pay for my Spotify subscription💸💸... ooo.. how about to get some data from the Spotify API... so I started to do study about it.

Like most of the development, let's start from Documentation of  the API https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api

In order to get the data, i am required to request an access token from for the token endpoint URL.🧐

curl -X POST "https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token" \

I recently met an ages old issue related to code maintenance:

• You have access to your IRIS server just over ODBC/JDBC
• no VSCode access, no Studio access
• no (Web-)Terminal access

But you need to take a look on Classes or Routines or Globals !!
Anyhow SQL is your friend.

• First you need a simple table as temporary text store.

CREATEGLOBALTEMPORARYTABLE  arcc.txt (line VARCHAR(32000))

Not a thrilling action.

• Next you export your code to local file and import it to your table

CREATEPROCEDURE arcc.show (IN code VARCHAR()) 
  RETURNSINTEGERLANGUAGE OBJECTSCRIPT 
 {
	setfile="code.t

I have a unique index on two properties in a class, and I want to open the instance by index key with one of the two properties is set to the empty string. Is this possible to perform?

Take the example class here

Class TestIndex
{

Property Mandatory as TestClass [Required];Property Alternate as TestClass;Property AltOrEmpty As%String [ Calculated, Required, SqlComputeCode = {Set {*} = $Case({Alternate},"":$c(0),:{Alternate})}, SqlComputed ];
Index AlternateMandatory on (Mandatory, AltOrEmpty) [ Unique ];
}

And example data as

Hello everyone,

I hope you're doing well!

I wanted to share that a new JDBC driver version has been added to the iris-driver-distribution repository on GitHub. The filename is intersystems-jdbc-3.10.1.jar.

However, I noticed that the commit message doesn’t provide much information about the IRIS version this driver is associated with. Could anyone clarify if this is a final release? Is it production-ready? Additionally, are there details about the bugs it addresses or the new features it introduces?

For comparison, the JDBC driver included in the Docker image as of today (23/11/2024)

Last Chapter: Creating a REST client to get Tracks from Spotify REST API - Part2 Save and Refresh Token

Git link: https://github.com/ecelg/InterSystems-IRIS-as-a-Spotify-REST-client
 

Ok, now I am pretty sure i have a valid token for making query.😀

Shall we try to query something from the API.

Again, its time to go through the API document https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/tutorials/getting-started

Search for Request artist data

the suggested code is like the following

curl "https://api.spotify.com/v1/artists/4Z8W4fKeB5YxbusRsdQVPb" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer

Last Chapter:  Creating a REST client to get Tracks from Spotify REST API - Part1 Check out token

Git link: https://github.com/ecelg/InterSystems-IRIS-as-a-Spotify-REST-client

Ok... Now we can check out a token but it will be expired in 3600 seconds.

There are 2 questions come up🤔

1. How to save this token????🙄

2. How to refresh this token????🤨🤔 

Lets come back to the API document https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/tutorials/getting-started

Base on my understanding, this piece of API do not have a token called refresh_token, as a result, we can assume the logic like following

OK

Hi!

Suppose I have full access to InterSystems IRIS database instance A and want to export a consistent part of the data and import it into another InterSystems IRIS instance B. Classes are equal.

What are the most general and convenient options for me?

TIA!

Hello,

I'm trying to customize error handling in the overriden HS.FHIRServer.Storage.JsonAdvSQL.Interactions::Search method. It is clear how to add to the resultset a valid FHIR resource (pseudocode):

Method Search(pResourceType As %String, pCompartment As %String, pCompartmentId As %String, pParameters As HS.FHIRServer.API.Data.QueryParameters = "", ByRef pSortKeys = "") As HS.FHIRServer.Util.SearchResult
{
    #Dim resultSet as HS.FHIRServer.Util.SearchResult
    Set resultSet = ##class(HS.FHIRServer.Util.SearchResult).Create()

    If (pResourceType = "Patient")
    {
        Set

Hello everyone,

I want to share my experience configuring an IIS server to enable secure HTTPs access to HealthShare/HealthConnect.

After installing the “WebServerGateway” and completing the initial setup, I encountered a few issues. Specifically, when trying to log into HealthConnect using HTTPS, the logo didn’t appear, and clicking any buttons didn’t trigger any response. See screenshot below:

Below is a step-by-step guide to resolve the current issue, as well as another issue I encountered with accessing the Rule Editor.
