Hi all,

Does anyone know of a way for a business host (specifically an operation) to check whether the production it's running in is trying to shut down?

Cheers,

Otto

Hey Community,

It's time for the new batch of #KeyQuestions from the previous month.

Here are the Key Questions of September chosen by InterSystems Experts within all Communities:

Good morning, everyone

I purchased an HP LaserJet M101-M106 printer, and I'm trying to print via the Windows cache device, but I can't get it to work.
I can send it, but it doesn't print.
Physical device name: |PRN|HP LaserJet M101-M106
Type: Other
Subtype: P-DEC
Open Parameters: “W”

Could someone help me with what might be happening?

Otherwise, thanks

Davidson

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:

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 made a major change and expect a changed review just let me know.

Hi all,

When passing on the content of a file in a REST API call, I need to put the original file name in an HTTP header. As it happens, some file names have non-8-bit characters in them ("å", "ö", and the like), and these arrive garbled on the other side. Does anybody know the correct way to encode them (assuming they should be encoded at all)?
$zconvert(filename, "O", "UTF8") does not appear to be it. I'm leaning towards $zconvert(filename, "O", "URL"), but leaning isn't good enough.
Thanks,
Otto

I try to add custom setting in BPL process by adding parameter SETTINGS = "Scope" and property Scope As %String. But how do I access instance property in BPL process? I get error that method or property Scope is not found.

Hi Community,

A new GenAI-supported tool is coming to the online documentation and learning sites! What will it be called?

Take a 5-minute survey and share your reactions to possible names!

We've recently made available a new version of InterSystems IRIS in the Vector Search Early Access Program, featuring a new Approximate Nearest Neighbor index based upon the Hierarchical Navigable Small World (HNSW) indexing algorithm. This addition allows for highly efficient, approximate nearest-neighbor searches over large vector datasets, dramatically improving query performance and scalability.

Hi all,

I'm wondering if it is possible to call a Business Operation from other Business Operation.

I have a BO that writes logs into a database, using a personal message. I can create a set obj=##class(MyLogs).%New() but the BO has all parameters about connection.

Is it possible?

Best regards.

Managing InterSystems Servers – In-Person  October 28-November 1, 2024

Hi folks!

Often, when we develop commercial solutions, there is a necessity to deploy solutions without source code, e.g., in order to preserve the IP.

One of the ways how this can be achieved is to use InterSystems Package Manager.

Here I asked Midjourney to paint an intellectual property of software:

How this can be achieved with IPM?

In fact, this is very simple; just add the Deploy="true" clause in the Resource element in your module.xml manifest. Documentation.

I decided to provide the simplest possible example to illustrate how it works and also to give you a development environment template to let start building and deploying your own modules without source code. He we go!

Hi,

I try to create a tab delimiter file with bold header, when I convert the file into Microsoft Excel, it has a bold header.  The file can be in text or CSV exension.

Thank you.

We have Webterminal around for quite a while, but it was limited, not all features worked there. There was no shell support or the latest feature as embedded Python support. There are some issues with tools that require programmer mode. Basic Authorization, not as handy as simple login page, where you could have options to add own login page, in case if you would wish to change the way how to login to the application, such as using SSO.

With the original iris terminal, wrapped into a web form, using most used in the web world xterm.js, used in tools like VSCode as well, with some magic from Python, which helped with interprocess tty. We can get the the terminal in the web, in the full capacity.

There are many applications for working with HL7 V2 messages, but the tools for working with XML in IRIS Management Portal and Cache Studio are limited. While plenty of external utilities and IDEs work with XML messages and even C-CDA documents, there is a compelling case for being able to test directly against the IRIS C-CDA framework. 

Testing within the IRIS environment provides the necessary context: 

Hello,
Can I receive a 30 day full test license?

If several application servers are connected using ECP, and one of them create many locks, so many that lock table became full :

Should we expect only that application server to be impacted ? (usually, when lock table is full the system became instable). Or, are other application servers going to be impacted the same way ? (because that lock table is synchronized and maintained in sync across all servers)

Hi Community, 

We’ve missed Global Masters, and we’re sure you have too!

🚀 Global Masters is Relaunching on October 3, 2024!

On 2024-08-29, the team released Language Server v2.6.0, which includes more improvements for code completion (aka intellisense). That means that #dim, while still useful, is hardly necessary anymore. That's a good thing in my opinion.

I have been trying to track down an issue we are seeing in our TEST environment with Memory usage.

We have Several BP's for years now that take a HL7 message, parse it apart, and make calls to a Custom EnsLib.SQL.OutboundAdapter to have it execute Insert/Select/Update/Delete stored procedures against a MS SQL Database via JDBC connection. We are using Microsoft's JDBC 12.2 driver to do this.

What we are seeing is that IRIS.WorkQueue globals are being defined for these calls but then the IRIS.WorkQueue is not being cleaned up and taking up large amounts of Memory.

This is for IRIS For Health 2024.2.0

We are migrating away from the .NET Gateway and trying to use the python integration instead.

I followed the instructions to install IRIS

Then I installed python following the IRIS documentation indicating that python should be installed globally.

I set up the PythonRuntimeLibrary and PythonRuntimeLibraryVersion options under System->Configuration->Advanced memory settings and when I run the shell function, I get python:

Hello

I am writing a simple routing interface that picks up files from a share using File.InboundAdapter.

I am then using PassthroughService and passing it to a router.

The Router is using Ens.StreamContainer to then get the filename.  I have then used contains to pick out part of the filename.

and then pass it to another simple passthrough operation to another share.

I've got a select statement bringing back one value, I want to combine all rows into one comma delimited string. So for example:

SELECT First Name

FROM mydb.People

I get a list of names:

John

Fred

Sarah

Carl

Jane

Julie

Instead of having 6 rows in the result, I want one row, with one cell that has "John,Fred,Sarah,Carl,Jane,Julie"

Is there a way to do that?
