Course: Managing InterSystems Servers

When: July 10-14, 2023 9am to 5pm US Eastern Time (ET)

Where: In-person only at InterSystems Headquarters in Cambridge, MA.

In this article, I will share the theme we presented at the Global Summit 2023, in the Tech Exchange room. Me and @Rochael Ribeiro 

In this opportunity, we talk about the following topics:

• Open Exchange Tools for Fast APIs
• Open API Specification
• Traditional versus Fast Api development
• Composite API (Interoperability)
• Spec-First or Api-First Approach 
• Api Governance & Monitoring
• Demo (video)

Open Exchange Tools for Fast APIs

As we are talking about fast modern APIs development (Rest / json) we will use two Intersystems Open Exchange tools:

The first is a framework for rapid development of

The Telegram Adapter for InterSystems IRIS serves as a bridge between the popular Telegram messaging platform and InterSystems IRIS, facilitating seamless communication and data exchange. By leveraging the capabilities of the Telegram API, the adapter allows developers to build robust chatbots, automate tasks, and integrate Telegram with InterSystems IRIS applications.

The most common scenarios where the Telegram Adapter can be used include:

1. Real-Time System Notifications: Sending immediate notifications about specific events occurring in the system.

Unable to run iris terminal as well as on management portal I am getting permission error.

ERROR in page definition:
Error #940: Insufficient privilege for operation

I already have created a User - irisusr and group - irisusr

if I am running sudo iris terminal IRIS command then it open terminal But earlier it was working fine.

Had an issue on Friday where a vendor added an additional field in the middle of a row of one of our record maps. This threw the mapping off when I take the record and try to map it into HL7 and caused massive amounts of errors in our EMR because the data was wrong.

Is there a way that I can add validation on the Business Service to say if the fields are off to fail, stop, and alert on the Business Service?

Hey Developers,

Watch this video to learn how to leverage InterSystems IRIS Natural Language Processing to analyze patient portal messages and improve patient engagement:

⏯ Use Natural Language Processing to Drive Patient Engagement @ Global Summit 2022

Excuse if this is obvious to Python programmers but for those crossing over from ObjectScript this may be a useful tip.

The scenario is developing some Embedded python commands.

Testing out functionality is being confirmed via the shell:

$SYSTEM.Python.Shell()
 
Python 3.9.5 (default, Mar 14 2023, 06:58:44) [MSC v.1927 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type quit() or Ctrl-D to exit this shell.
>>>

When Python evaluates an expression in the shell, it prints the result of the expression to the terminal.

>>> 1 + 2

3

It is quite easy to accidentally evaluate and print out values

>>> iris.cls("%Dictionary.M

I am unable to connect to InterSystems ODBC client. I am seeing the following error:

[Cache ODBC][State : S1000][Native Code 417] Access denied.

$cnx = new PDO("odbc:Driver={InterSystems ODBC};Server=<IP>;Uid=<id>;Pwd=<password>;");

Am i doing anything wrong?

Although, I can successfully connect and retrieve data in MS Excel using ODBC connection where I have configured my DSN and all

Hi,
i got 2 server with iris instances on them:

srv1
irisinstance1 port 51773/52773
irisinstance2 port 51774/52774

srv2
irisinstance3 port 51773/52773
irisinstance4 port 51774/52774

Both of them have apps published on an external apache on port 443 and i would like to publish irisinstance1 and irisinstance2 on port 443 of srv2.

Something like https://srv2/mgmt1/csp/sys/UtilHome.csp and similar to mgmt2.

I've tried with proxypass without luck.

How can i do that? Is there a guide?

Thanks!

How do I determine the size of an X12 message within the Rule Editor?  I should add this is for HealthConnect or Ensemble.

The FullSize property always shows 122, and the FullSizeGet method isn't available within the Rule Editor.

Our vendor can't handle messages over 500,000 characters, so I need to write those to another queue for later processing, and to get the interface into they're system from crashing.

Thanks,

If one of your packages on OEX receives a review you get notified by OEX only of YOUR own package.   
The rating reflects the experience of the reviewer with the status found at the time of review.   
It is kind of a snapshot and might have changed meanwhile.   
Reviews by other members of the community are marked by * in the last column.

I also placed a bunch of Pull Requests on GitHub when I found a problem I could fix.    
Some were accepted and merged, and some were just ignored.     
So if you did a major change and expect a changed review just let me know.

I want to connect IRIS system as it has all the database tables. on top of that I am creating a REST API in python. How can I connect to IRIS DB. here is my example code for connection

def connect():

connection_string = "localhost:1972/USER"

username = "_SYSTEM"

password = "SYS"

conn = iris.connect(connection_string, username, password)

after this connection is created but how can I get tables data. Please let me know more about how we can integrate IRIS database into a python REST API.

I am working with a REST API JSON Response that contains a list of integers (departmentids).

JSON Response:

{
"status":"ACTIVE",
"departmentids":[
72
],
"subscriptions":[
{
"eventname":"LabResultAdd"
},
{
"eventname":"LabResultUpdate"
},
{
"eventname":"LabResultClose"
}
]
}

I am having trouble getting that to parse into my custom message structure using the %JSONImport method.

Here is my custom message class (pResponse):

I am trying to set up VS Code so that it will connect to a new server running IRIS 2023.1, and I can't seem to get the setup to accept my errors. I enter all the requested information, and at the end I receive a message:

Failed to store server '$(name)' definition.

Source: InterSystems Server Manager (Extension)

I've submitted a bug log with VSCode, but then I noticed the source, and figured it might be related to the extension instead of the program, and was wondering if others have received this message. The VSCode is 1.79.1, for the record.

Thanks as always.

Hello and welcome to the Developer Ecosystem Spring News!

This spring we've had a lot of online and offline 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!

Hi, I spend most of my time on VsCode and I love the dark theme.

But when I go to the InterSystems Community it's all white and I can't read anything.

Is it possible to have a dark theme for the community?

An interim idea to bring more dark to the docs with different font.

Process:

• In Firefox web browser address bar navigate to: "about:support"
• Look for label "Profile Folder", and click on the corresponding "Open Folder" button.
• Drill-down / Open sub-folder called Chrome.
• Create file here called: userContent.css

Content of file:

@-moz-document domain(docs.intersystems.com) {
:root {
 --iscbluelightest:#0c0405 !important;
 --iscbluelight:#91331f !important;
 --iscblue:#ccc96a !important;

One of the most common needs of our clients is the creation of REST services that allow access to the information present in IRIS / HealthConnect. The advantage of these REST services is that it allows the development of custom user interfaces with the most current technologies taking advantage of the reliability and performance of IRIS in the back-end.

In today's article we are going to create a web service step by step that will allow us to both store data in our database and later consult them.

Hi guys,

How can I get the list of printer in client Zen page?

We currently use an ActivexObject call "MSDesign.WebLabel" to get the list of printer loaded in a dropdown in our Zen pages:

        webControl = new ActiveXObject("MSDesign.WebLabel");
                  if (webControl!=null) printers = webControl.getPrinters();
and this will give us a list of printers available in client machine but this does work in Edge or Chrome, is there a tool or simple code that I can use to get me the list of printers available?

Thanks
