Hi
So, I have a zen toolbar and I've figured on how to populate with menu items. How do I add a hyperlink to menu items - I've been all over the support docs, and don't seem to be able to find anything.
Also, I see that this component is marked as deprecated - is there a recommended replacement?

Hello,
I am getting the following error , and not sure how to get passed this.
We have removed storage on the classes , did a clean compile and still we get the error below on some of the classes
Compile FAILURE
ERROR! Storage on class [ MyClass] modified by storage compiler, developer should have run ^build to make sure all storage is updated correctly and saved to Perforce
Any Idea how to resolve this or what to look for ?

Hi:
Are these all depreciated in 2022.1? Our tasks don't run as can't find it and using a search of the docs they are last recorded against 2021.1?

There isn't any line in release notes to note that these no longer exist.
If one of your packages on OEX receives a review you get notified by OEX only own YOUR 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 am trying to split a HL7 message (RDE O11) into several messages depending on how many RXC segments there are in the message (Two RXC segments would need to two separate HL7 messages)
I have seen a couple of posts regarding this but am struggling with my BP using ObjectScript, the idea is to take the receiving message and split this before passing it onto another BP
Here is my code so far
Class BDROWA.Transform.OVMO Extends Ens.BusinessProcess [ ClassType = persistent ]
{Method OnRequest(pRequest As EnsLib.HL7.Message, Output pResponse As Ens.Response) As %Status
{Set RXCCount = pRequest.Get
In toolbar, by default, all items show on one line and when menu items do not fit on visible part of screen, invisible items hide and appear two buttons - last item and previous item.
I want, in that case, items, which do not fit on visible part of screen, go on second line. In other words, I want all items to be visible.
Is it possible to configure toolbar for behavior I want?

You may know it but IRIS is a database with the ability to execute code.
The code execution part is called an Application Server.
Today IRIS supports natively two languages: ObjectScript and Python.
Executing code is good, knowing how to organize it is better.
Organizing code is software architecture, not everyone has the desire or knowledge to create such a solution.
To do this, many programming languages offer what we call Frameworks.
These frameworks help us (the developers) to architect our code, to organize it, to foresee scalability, to foresee the dissociation between technical logic and
Hi folks!
We have a bunch of templates on OEX that provide a handy foundation for building a particular application with IRIS. And the basic principle of each and every template is that we take vanilla IRIS images, load code, and files into the image using Dockerfile, and create a new docker image as a solution. And then we develop running this image and rebuilding it when returning to development.
Some developers ask me why we need to build the docker image to work with the code. Indeed, if at the end of the day I need to develop a ZPM package and not a docker image why don't run the vanilla image and load the code and everything in it?
The problem I have with the building image approach is that often I can wait a lot to build an image and it fails on some Objectscript problem in the source that I cannot fix as the image is not building. and
Any thoughts? How do you develop with docker?
Hi Developers,
Python has a large and powerful ecosystem that contains thousands of libraries and packages available, especially in data science.
Therefore, I wanted to have a first try in using a recent feature of IRIS called Embedded Python, to simply import a python library called datetime, generate data with a timestamp component and persist it in InterSystems IRIS for Health Data Platform. The same will work on IRIS Data Platform as well.
Hi ,
I am trying to transform CSV file into SDA3 format by using Studio code. I am getting "No Stream contained in StreamContainer Request" Error at the business operation after converting CSV file to SDA3 Format but not able to generate the file in business operation
I have a production that takes in an HL7 message thru a business service. The business service passes the incoming HL7 message to a business process that calls a transform to transform the HL7 message to a message class. After the transform is finished, the business process uses a code block to pass the object created by the transform to a method class that processes the data in the object. What would be the correct syntax for passing in the object to the class method?
In the business process, the source for the transform is the request and the target is context.SurgeryData where

Hello,
I'm looking for a way to write a stored procedure or something to return a ResultSet with Embedded Python.
My goal is the following:
I have a Goal table with a Text field that is free text.

Welcome to the next chapter of my CI/CD series, where we discuss possible approaches toward software development with InterSystems technologies and GitLab.
Today, let's talk about interoperability.
Issue
When you have an active interoperability production, you have two separate process flows: a working production that processes messages and a CI/CD process flow that updates code, production configuration and system default settings.
Clearly, CI/CD process affects interoperability. But questions are:
- What exactly happens during an update?
- What do we need to do to minimize or eliminate production downtime during an update?
Trying to identify which records in the %SYS.Audit table are fails.
Eg, as user "WORKER", I run an attempted a grant, the terminal returns:
SQL> GRANT SELECT ON newschema.patients TO COORDINATOR
[S1000][Iris ODBC][State : S1000][Native Code 112]
[libirisodbc35.so]
[SQLCODE: <-112>:<Access violation>]
[Location: <ServerLoop>]
[%msg: <User WORKER does not have required privileges to grant the privilege(s)>]
[ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLExecute
but the record in the audit table gives
Description: "SQL GRANT Statement"
EventData: "GRANT SELECT ON newschema.patients TO COORDINATOR"
Is there any indication in

As the title says, when I use the "Go To Definition (F12)" option, it opens the definition in read only mode. Is there some way to either directly make the go to option editable or can i turn the read only version into an editable version? I end up needing to open the file directly and then manually going to the method definition myself.
For quite some time InterSystems IRIS supports such thing as Merging CPF. So, with help of this it should be possible to define only desired changes in configuration. And get them applied even with vanilla Docker image.

And I though it could be useful when used with Dockerfile. Use this way to configure IRIS during docker build instead of using Installer manifest.
Hi Guys,
I'm able make a request through the browser with no issues as below:
Hello guys,
I'm trying to install HealthShare on a virtual machine. The original language of this virtual machine was Russian, unfortunately I don't speak Russian hehehehe.
So I changed the original language to English, but when I installed HealthShare the portal was in English, but the terminal was in Russian and during installation it doesn't show me any option to select the language.

1. Language configurated in the virtual machine.

2. Terminal with russian text.
I tried to convert the system to English, and this worked for the terminal.
Hello,
i receiving several mails via "EmailInboundAdapter” and sending via "EmailOutboundAdapter"
Now Microsoft will force OAuth 2.0 for Outlook365-Mails and want to drop POP3 basic authentication permanetly at Oct/1 2022. All have to use OAuth 2.0 then.
IRIS documentation is very tiny for OAuth 2.0: https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cl…
A new paramter for a token is defined for "%Net.POP3.Connect()".But the token got only on authenication calls using ClientID and ClientSecret (last one valid for maximum 24 months).
While the documentation of configuring authentication with Kerberos for IRIS on Linux servers is sparse, for docker i found no docs at all. Assuming I would be able to adapt the requirements from linux to docker (on linux host) I had no success at all. Has anyone successfully done this?
Even with "do ^REDEBUG" set to FFFFFFFF the log did not help much, I always get "Kerberos error getting initial credentials with password; KDC reply did not match expectations".
If I'm using an objectgenerator, is there a way to check the compile flags and have it behave differently based on which flags are set?
And as a tangent, is there a list somewhere of what compile flags there are?
