If you are using the client-side development paradigm (i.e. editing code in local files that get imported and compiled onto the IRIS server your `objectscript.conn` settings point to) you can now use IPM in VS Code to manage the packages in your IRIS target by launching it from the Explorer view. Just make sure the extension you are using is at least version 1.0.4, then use this button:

Introduction

Managing databases and performing CRUD operations are fundamental tasks for developers building data-driven applications. While many database management systems (DBMS) exist, they can be complex and cumbersome to interact with, especially when it comes to creating databases and tables, handling constraints, and performing real-time data operations through an API.

This web-based Database Management Tool simplifies the entire process, offering an intuitive UI for managing databases and tables, alongside a powerful REST API for interacting with the data.

This story has followed me for more than 20 years.

In the early days of ObjectScript, the volume of $Functions was limited.
You had to write it as part of your program.
But the functionality was often implemented. It just had no name.
To use it, you had "system" calls using $ZU() functions. See Reference

Over time most $ZU() became deprecated and replaced by "official" $Functions.
But how to find then over a thousand lines of code written over decades
by an uncounted number of programmers that were gone with the wind.
Studio was something fresh and not so performant.
So I created a Search Utility to

The test data generator is mainly used to generate test data, which can be used to generate test data for tables and fields to meet the needs of different fields according to different types, currently supports Text, Number, Enum, UUID, regular expression, Multiple date and time formats, and Time Seven different types
 

How to use:

1. Select a namespace, you can see all the tables under the namespace,

2. Select the table we want to generate test data from, click on the field, and select the type on the right

3.

I created and then compiled a routine using the %Routine library 

s routine = ##class(%Routine).%New(fileName_"."_extension)
d routine.Write(parsedRule)
//s status = routine.Save()
s status = routine.SaveStream(,.refresh)
if ($$$ISERR(status)) throw status

Now the routine compiles successfully and as a result it is saved on the database.
I can now use from anywhere:

set r = ##class(%Routine).%New("myGeneratedCode.mac")

w r.SizeGet()

and it would output the size.
but for the question: How do i run a method in that file?

I want to try out iris-DataViz app to visualize my own data. I cloned the repo and docker-compose up -d in AWS. IRIS portal works, but on port 8051 I get nothing. I checked my AWS security groups. I reversed IRIS webserver port and 8051 and I can connect to Management portal using port 8051. I don't understand what is refusing connection on port 8051 running in iris-DataViz container.

In this article, we’ll dive into the inner workings of the database management tool, exploring the architecture and technologies that power it. Understanding how the application functions behind the scenes will give you insight into its design, how it manages databases, tables, and how the API interacts with data.

We will discuss the core technologies used, including InterSystems IRIS as the primary database and Redis for caching. Additionally, we’ll break down the structure of the tables used and explain how the system handles data creation, retrieval, and manipulation through the REST API.

Hello community

I sent a http post message with a large message body (approx. 200 kB) to a standard EnsLib.REST.GenericService using a standard EnsLib.HTTP.InboundAdapter.

When inspecting the message in the message viewer I expected to see a HTTPMessage XML in the Contents preview, but I found a GenericMessage with no HTTPHeaders section. After a while, I found out that the display in the message's Visual Trace differs from what is shown, when going to the View Full Contents view in the Contents tab of the message viewer.

I also found out that the presentation in the preview window and also the

Hi,

I tried to create what is know as a "class variable".  As far as I understand the only analogy to class variables would be the "class parameters".

I tried to use a class parameter but I cannot change its value at runtime.

Parameter STATUSES = {{}};

Property repr As %String;

Method %OnNew(repr) As %Status
{
    w ##class(Test...).#STATUSES
    w ..#STATUSES

    ...

}

When I get ..#STATUSES, it is a string like "5@%Library.DynamicObject". This is a string, not a pointer to an object.

I tried to define STATUSES as Parameter STATUSES  As CONFIGVALUE = {{}};  and change the value with

Hi, Support Team

I´m working with Cache for many years, currently i have running version cache-2018.1.7.721.0-win_x64.exe

However we are facing some compatibility/requirements challenges, in that way i´m hereby request your support to provide next version/build of Cache 2018.1 (e.g cache-2018.1.9.xxx.x-win_x64.exe )

Nevertheless , I already downloaded IRIS for testing purpose if can also provide trial/limited licence for detail testing will be apreciated.

Thanks in advance for your attention.

I am trying to track down a problem we saw this morning with our TEST environment. We had a momentary issue where InterSystems HealthShare Health Connect could not connect correctly to LDAP. When we tried to login and could not connect to LDAP, the system would Delete our users.

the Test LDAP function would return a "Can't contact LDAP server". I went through the Certificates, made sure they had the correct permissions and were not expired.

At the OS level we had no problems using our LDAP accounts to authenticate against the server, so we know the server could connect to LDAP, the trouble was

Hi Guys,

I've created a webservice where a third party web application that can communicate with Ensemble via webservices to post and get data in from of JSON, first call is a post call to login with user/password and Ensemble responds with success or failure than the following get calls, but I've been advised that I also need to return a Cookie to control the exchange and the session for a specific user, I'm not familiar with Cookie so any suggestions, how can I create a an authentication cookie and do i need to add it to my next Get calls ?

Hi.

We are going to have basic patient demographic data coming in to Cache via a webservice. I thought that I should define the input as XML something like the FHIR format (with UK extensions).

In the past we've input XML streams and used the %XML.Reader to convert them to matching classes successfully, so I thought it would be easy. However, I've found that the FHIR format stores everything in attributes like:

  <gender value="male"/>
  <birthDate value="1982-01-23"/>

Looking in the Cache documentation here there seems no easy way to make a property match to an attribute of "value" without
