We continue with this series of articles on LLM and RAG applications and in this article we will discuss the red boxed part of the following diagram:

In the process of creating a RAG application, choosing an LLM model that is appropriate to your needs (trained in the corresponding subject, costs, speed, etc.) is as important as having a clear understanding of the context you want to provide. Let's start by defining the term to be clear about what we mean by context.

What is context?

Hi there, 

I'm hoping that someone may be able to point me in the right direction to get started with working with files in Intersystems. I am currently trying to build an interface that will consume a text file containing a list of IDs (one per line) and then write those IDs to an external database. I am comfortable working with the database end but have not worked with files/Stream containers etc yet.

I am struggling with the BP logic as I can't figure out how to access the data within the stream container.

Hi Community!

We're happy to share the next video in the series dedicated to Gen AI on our InterSystems Developers YouTube:

Hi, I'm working on a large extraction from a database and need to parallelize the processes during the extraction.

Here's what happens:

1. The user starts the extraction from.
2. Several jobs are started using the Job <Method> instruction.

At the end, the user expects to find a document containing the results of all the extractions. What I'd like to do is start a new job that checks whether the previously started jobs have finished or are still working and consequently produce the document.

After starting each job, using $ZCHILD instruction I can get the ID of the last started job.

Hi Team, we are going to deliver a speech on a developer forum where most developers hv not used our tech before but using other database and integration technologies , Pls give us some key points on why they should adopt us and the benefits you can get, especially if you change your tech stack from others to IRIS. Thanks a lot!

Hello everyone,

I'm working with a class generated by OpenAPI in InterSystems IRIS, specifically impl.cls. In one of the classmethods of this class, I need to switch to the %SYS namespace to access system-level functionalities and then switch back to the original namespace.

I tried using the following commands:

new $namespace
set $namespace = “%SYS”

However, these give an error when executed. Is there a proper way to change namespaces programmatically within a classmethod and gain access to the %SYS namespace? Any best practices or example code snippets would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Hello,

Since version 1.93 of VS Code, the “import and compile” process has been very slow (more than an hour).
Have you encountered this issue and do you know how to resolve it?

Thank you,

Maxime

In the business world, every second counts, and having high-performing applications is essential for streamlining our business processes. We understand the significance of crafting efficient algorithms, measurable through the big O notation.

Nevertheless, there are numerous strategies to boost the performance of systems built on the IRIS Data Platform. These strategies are equally crucial for optimizing overall efficiency.

Let's join the journey for a sneak peek into the tips for making IRIS Data Platform work better, where every little trick will help your applications shine.

1.

Is there a simple way to compare Stream data between two objects?

We have used $ZCRC to create a checksum and that seems to be work.
We have also read each line of the streams and compared them and that seems to work too.

We just think there has to be a simpler way than looping through all the lines of the stream.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

This demo program is used to show how a custom FHIR profile can be employed to validate data compliance. The custom FHIR implementation guide was developed based on FHIR Version R4, and in this example implements the Organization resource extension to validating data compliance.

Installation

1. Download the project via Git clone.
2. Execute docker-compose up -d to build and start the container, the initial execution will download required container images and executing the script will take another 5 to 10 minutes (depending on the machine).

This is a consequence of work being done by the VS Code team to improve Find in Explorer.

Symptoms without proposed APIs:

Note the continual clock badge and progress bar.

With proposed APIs enabled you will require v2.12.9-beta.4 or later, otherwise the find runs but returns no results.

See https://github.com/intersystems-community/vscode-objectscript/issues/14… for more information.

Motivated by personal feedback by @Edilson Eberle Carvalho  and 
an excellent presentation of @Michael Braam  related to Vector Search I'd like to share
my personal approach to Vectors.
When I started and met vectors with 256, 384, and over 1200 dimensions - I felt lost.
However my exampleVector-inside-IRIS - a simplification of iris-vector-search - worked fine.
 
In order to understand the mechanics behind it, I decided to start in small steps.
Our common 3 dimensions describe our physical world quite fine.
Even the half 4th dimension (no negatives) added by Einstein is not to hard to follow.

Suppose you have a working system on 8-bit Caché database and need to transfer the solution to Unicode database.

How do you manage that?

You have probably heard a lot about LLMs (Large Language Models) and the associated development of RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) applications over the last year. Well, in this series of articles we will explain the fundamentals of each term used and see how to develop a simple RAG application.

What is an LLM?

LLM models are part of what we know as generative AI and their foundation is the vectorization of huge amounts of texts.

Hi Community,

Visual Studio Code releases new updates every month with new features and bug fixes, and the September 2024 release is now available. 

Version 1.94 now includes: 

• Find in Explorer - Quickly find files in the Explorer view with the improved Find control. As a consequence of this, the Explorer's Find widget on server-side folders requires v2.12.9-beta.4 or later with Proposed APIs enabled. Read more in this Developer Community post. 
• Source Control Graph - More filtering options and interactivity in the Source Control Graph.

It has been asked a few times recently, how one can make Laravel Framework work with InterSystems IRIS Data Platform. It's been a while since this post about Laravel and InterSystems Caché was published. To bring it up to date, the article gives a brief instruction set on how to setup and configure a Laravel project for use with InterSystems IRIS through ODBC.

What is Laravel?

Laravel is a PHP framework that is based on MVC architecture. Using Laravel simplifies and speeds up the backend development while building modern secure web applications.

I am working on a scenario where source will be sending 6 files to HealthConnect. In HealthConnect we need to process all the 6 files and send them to MoveIT through the Operation. In Health Connect we need to configure a property file through the data that we will be receiving in one for the six files.
Can someone help me with the workflow that can be setup to achieve this.

Hey Community,

Here is a digest of the Developer Community videos on InterSystems Developers YouTube Channel in September 2024:

I have three different methods for exporting classes and projects as XML files, but each one produces slightly different output:

1. Studio (what I currently use for exporting): I export as a project (with the 'only project' option disabled). This generates all classes and the project in a single XML file.
2. VS Code: This method only exports the classes, and it doesn't include the project in the XML file.
3. Console export using %SYSTEM.OBJ.Export: I used the following command to attempt the same export as Studio: do ##class(%SYSTEM.OBJ).Export("MyProject.Prj, MyProject.*.cls", "TempDir/MyProject.
