We at George James Software are pleased to announce that our acclaimed code debugger and editorSerenji is now available as a Visual Studio Code extension.

As well as supporting the latest InterSystems IRIS platform Serenji also works with earlier platforms, including versions lacking the server-side Atelier API support required by other VS Code extensions.

Serenji connects you directly to the code in your namespaces, resulting in an experience more familiar to existing Studio users. No need to export and import classes and routines.

We believe Serenji is the first extension to bring VS Code's powerful debugging features to ObjectScript developers.

Hi Community!

This is the update on what are the new applications submitted on OpenExchange in June 2019!

New Applications

Example Backup Task published by @Sergey Mikhailenko

Sample database backup copying task with prior deletion of outdated copies

A more useful Object Dump published by @Robert Cemper

This small helper class allows you to dump an object to terminal or
e.g in background to some stream for later review.

Samples BI published by @Evgeny Shvarov on behalf of InterSystems

This is a technology example of InterSystems Business Analytics tool with Cubes, Pivots, MDX Queries and Dashboards. The Sample is  formerly known as "Holefoods "

Hey Intersystems-Developer,

I have already used that and know its possible, but can't find it anymore :(

I need dynamic access on proxy objects. For example:

set key = "lastName"

set name = obj.name

set lastName = obj.key <- Not possible 

set lastName = obj.GetAt(key) <- Not possible

How can I get access to that object with my dynamic variable "key" ?

Best regards. 

I have a process that receives a EnsLib.DICOM.Document, and then attempts to extract a PDF from the dataset to save to a folder.

When I use the GetValueAt method to get the pdf from the document (from the EncapsulatedDocument section), the status returned is 1, but I'm only getting the first 32648 characters(?) from the PDF.

I thought it was a string max length problem, but long strings are enabled and the final PDF is tiny (94kb) so it's not hitting the long string.

Is there some form of limit to using the GetValueAt method that I'm missing?

The select query here "select Settings from Ens_Config.Item" in the SQL Query of management portal returns this: 

ValidationHost 7ActOnTransformErrorHost1 ReplyCodeActionsHostE=D AlertOnErrorHost1 9 AlertGroupsHost$LabAlertGroup,1-CriticalAlertGroup BusinessPartnerHost

How do I isolate just one of the settings e.g. ReplyCodeActions or LocalInterface

For example, i want to search for all entries that have  a value for ReplyCodeActions

I realize i can open the production in studio and search for those setting values.

When we go to specific name space to search messages in message viewer, at the moment we are adding the search criteria to add criterion type as SearchTable Field, and clicking the dropdown in Class field, there is an error says below in the image:

Could anyone please let me know what exactly the error is from? Thanks so much.

Hi, 

Alert emails are pretty terse - they are fine for me but I'd like something a bit more friendly when sending alerts to end users. 

Instead of this

QueueWaitAlert: Message Header Id '522408569' queued for config item 'alerttoXXXsystemmanager' with priority 'Async' has been queued for more than 600 seconds

I'd like to send something like this:

Hi Bill, 

Messages to system XXX are taking over 10 minutes to send. 

The receiving system/service may need to be reset.

if you have an questions pleaes call me on 555-12345678

Kind regards,

Has you may know, EnsDemo from Ensemble are not available anymore on IRIS.

This is a good thing, Iris is cloud oriented, it must be light, fast. Now the new way of sharing samples or modules is through git, continuous integration and OpenExchange.

But, in some cases you want to go back to your good old samples from EnsDemo to get inspiration or best practices.

Good news, there is a git for that :

• https://github.com/grongierisc/InstallEnsDemoLite

How to use it ?

Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/grongierisc/InstallEnsDemoLite.git

And run install.sh

sh install.sh <IRIS Instance>

Hi guys!

As you know there are two (at least) ways to get the stored value of the property of InterSystems IRIS class if you know the ID of an instance (or a record).

1. Get it by as a property of an instance with "Object access":

ClassMethod GetPropertyForID(stId As %Integer) As %String

{

set obj=..%OpenId(stId)

return obj.StringData

}

2. Get it as a value of a column of the record with "SQL access":

Hello,

I have a DTL to transform X12 Document 278 Request to 278 Response HIPAA 5010 schema. The DTL is called from BPL. I defined a class method that receives source, target, and context objects. How can I create 2000F loops in the response when there were none in the source object?

For each defined property, query or an index, several corresponding methods would be automatically generated on a class compilation. These methods can be very useful. In this article, I would describe some of them.

Hi All,

I'm just taking a look at IRIS and what it has to offer, and if this is something the organisation I work for should be looking to take advantage of.

I think I've come across an early sticking point, and I wondered if anyone knew of any options.

The front end (.Net, mostly C#) codebase makes extensive use of the object binding through generated proxy classes, and I see that this option is omitted from the IRIS documentation (Cache: https://docs.intersystems.com/latest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=GBMP IRIS: https://irisdocs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cl

A couple of our queues in Ensemble are reporting a queue count of one however there are no messages in the queue.  Does anyone know what the best method is to reset to the queue count back to zero or remove one from the queue count?

Hi, Developers

When I click  save button into cache server pages then following error  pops up.

JavaScript exception was caught during execution of Hyper Event: Syntax Error: Expected.

The ask is for a count of inbound messages by distinct identifier.

My challenge is getting the unique identifer out of the RawContent column in the EnsLib_HL7 table.

Wondering if a temp table can be created to store the value then do a join?

In the below example I am wanting to use the 999998 value in the PID.

InterSystems IRIS Roadmap

Hello all,

We recently moved our workstations to Windows 10 and so we updated all our local installations to IRIS (servers already run IRIS 2019.1). Now we are trying to connect our pyCharm to IRIS but we can't succeed.

In our ancient Ensemble installation we used intersys.pythinbind3 system, but I realized that with IRIS this is not provided. So I finally found the Welcome to Python QuickStart page (https://learning.intersystems.com/course/view.php?id=1113&ssoPass=1) and I'm trying to connect using pyODBC.

We would like to use our Caché-server as the source for our PABX-addressbook.

The PABX only supports LDAP.

Is it possible to use our Caché-instance as an LDAP-server ?

Regards, Kurt Hofman.

Hello, community!

I've stumbled on some unexpected behavior, and decided to check with you if this is normal. Basically, I'm rebuilding indices and the result is not journaling (which leads to missing indices at shadow server).
The $ZV is "Cache for UNIX (Red Hat Enterprise Linux for x86-64) 2015.2.1 (Build 705U) Mon Aug 31 2015 16:53:38 EDT"

I have an example class 

Class tmp.A As %Persistent;

Index IP1 On P1;

Property P1 As %String;

for example there is one object which have P1 = 1, so

^tmp.AI("IP1",1,1) = ""

If I rebuild it wth 

zw ##class(tmp.A).%BuildIndices(,1)

It’s often useful to make changes inside the current transaction, that would not be rolled-back if transaction is rolled-back. For example to do some logging.

This can be achieved by using global that is mapped to temporary database -- IRISTEMP. All globals that start with ^IRIS.Temp* are mapped to IRISTEMP by default. Problem with such approach is that IRISTEMP is cleaned on InterSystems IRIS restart, so this log is lost.

What else you can do is -- suspend transaction temporarily, do the logging, and then resume the same transaction.

Hello,

I try to open an existing log file and append to it. In Windows I use Open file:(NRW):1. I would expect it to append to the file, but each time I execute the code I get only the new entries, the prior file content is lost.

What is the proper syntax top open a file in "Append" mode?

I will deploy this code in Linux. Is there a different syntax to open a file in Linux versus Windows?

Thanks,

There are many projects which work on InterSystems products, and they are not always written only in ObjectScript. I think some of you working with different programming languages and already have some experience with other editors, and hope you already have a favourite online editor. 

My current choice is VSCode, whereas you may already know I have added an extension to support ObjectScript.

The 2019.2 version of InterSystems IRIS Studio is now Generally Available!

InterSystems IRIS Studio 2019.2 is the first release of our cross-product Studio development tool.  It can connect to InterSystems IRIS servers and also to Caché/Ensemble servers, and behaves appropriately for each.  This helps developers that want to work across both sets of products as well as those that want do develop against containerized IRIS using Studio.

Hi Dev Community,

My team is currently working on a project where we need to post pdf documents to a 3rd party REST API.

The API specifies a field in the JSON request message to contain the 'physical content' of the file as an array of bytes, example of the JSON request as follows - data truncated for readability purposes:
