Hello Community:

Let's go with the last article on how to record yourselves for the Article Contest video bonus.

I'm not going to go into how to do very specific things in editing because it varies depending on the program you use. The keyboard shortcuts and menus are different, but the concept is the same. You are going to use a programme to organise the recorded material, remove the excess and give it structure. Many of these softwares are free (Capcut, Canva and if I'm not mistaken DaVinci had a free version). I've been editing with Adobe Premiere for almost ten years now (wow, I'm getting old), so if you have any questions about this software, feel free to write to me.

Here are some concrete tips:

Motivation

I started programming back in 2015, when I was doing my bachelor's in computer science. I didn't know about ObjectScript until I started my new job four months ago. Objectscript isn't actually a young programming language. Compared to C++, Java and Python, the community isn't as active, but we're keen to make this place more vibrant, aren't we?

So, you checked your server and saw that IRISTEMP is growing too much. There's no need to panic. Let’s investigate the issue before your storage runs out.

Step 1: Confirm the IRISTEMP Growth Issue

Before assuming IRISTEMP is the problem, let’s check its actual size.

Check the Free Space

Run the following command in the IRIS terminal:

%SYS>do ^%FREECNT

When prompted, enter:

Hello community members!

I am trying to connect to Caché database from Azure data factory using ODBC connection. The aim is to read data from Caché and write it in Azure blob storage using copy activity. The ODBC connection is successful and i can see the Caché tables, but i'm facing an error while reading the table contents.

I'm getting the below error :

It's been a while (and everyone is well-rested after Advent Of Code!) so let's run another round of Code Golf.

Your task is navigating in a grid-like labyrinth in a clockwise spiral pattern. As it traverses the matrix, it collects characters, revealing a secret message.
Your challenge: find the shortest, most elegant code to decode this spiral cipher.
Input:
1. A multidimensional string array with comma separated characters (n x n)
2. Starting coordinates X and Y

Output:
The decoded message as a single string

Hello!

This article is a small overview of a tool that helps to understand classes and their structure inside the InterSystems products: from IRIS to Caché, Ensemble, HealthShare.

In short, it visualizes a class or an entire package, shows the relations between classes and provides all the possible information to developers and team leads without making them go to Studio and examine the code there.

If you are learning InterSystems products, reviewing projects a lot or just interested in something new in InterSystems Technology solutions — you are more than welcome to read the overview of ObjectScript Class Explorer!

Hi Community,

I'm working on FHIR project and using this code to convert an incoming request to FHIR

Method OnRequest(request As HS.FHIRServer.Interop.Request, Output response As HS.FHIRServer.Interop.Response) As %Status

{

#dim tSC As %Status = $$$OK

Try {

// Process incoming request

set stream = ##class(HS.SDA3.QuickStream).%OpenId(request.QuickStreamId)

set bundle = ##class(HS.FHIR.DTL.vR4.Model.Resource.Bundle).FromJSON(stream,"vR4")

Hi Community,

This is a detailed, candid walkthrough of the IRIS AI Studio platform. I speak out loud on my thoughts while trying different examples, some of which fail to deliver expected results - which I believe is a need for such a platform to explore different models, configurations and limitations. This will be helpful if you're interested in how to build 'Chat with PDF' or data recommendation systems using IRIS DB and LLM models.

What causes a broker RESPONSE to have Transfer-Encoding:chunked?

sometimes the response seems to not have the "Transfer-Encoding:chunked" but sometimes it does, what may casue this behaviour?

February 19, 2025 – Alert: SQL Queries Returning Wrong Results

InterSystems has corrected two issues that can cause a small number of SQL queries to return incorrect results. In addition, InterSystems has corrected an inconsistency in date/time datatype handling that may lead to different, unexpected – yet correct – results for existing applications that rely on the earlier, inconsistent behavior.

Hello,

So i want to use the INSERT OR UPDATE command so i can update a COUNTER for a given name:

INSERT OR UPDATE myTable
SET name='Omer', counter = counter + 1;

as you can see with the above code - if the row is non-existent then we get an error because COUNTER is NULL!
I tried the following to fix this but all have failed:

Introduction

InterSystems IRIS is a powerful data platform that supports the development of robust and scalable APIs. One of the key tools for API development in IRIS is the isc.rest package, which simplifies the creation and management of RESTful services. This article will guide you through the process of using isc.rest to develop APIs, covering the basics and providing practical examples.

I am using an Apache webserver on RH8, which is working fine. However, I get the following message:

Directory /opt/webgateway/conf/temp/ does not exist or has incorrect permissions. This will limit the Web Gateway's functionality.

The folder is indeed missing, but in what way is it limiting functionality?
