Note from Author
Since writing this article InterSystems has introduced native support for the OpenTelemetry standards with IRIS 2025.1.  Whilst this article helps to articulate how IRIS and Python can be used to extend IRIS's native capability, if you are specifically looking to implement OpenTelemetry, please head to this article developed by my colleague @Luis-Ángel.Pérez-Ramos:

Question Peter Vangelov · Sep 19, 2024

we are trying to access a windows file server from our file adaptor, which has been setup using a Linux CIFS mount
The mount requires a user/password to access the files on the windows server. How do we get the integration engine
to pickup the right username/password?

Question Alan Watts · Sep 16, 2024

We have an ObjectScript application that runs in Cache' and IRIS. Our typical installation involves a .zip file containing several files necessary for the installation and operation of the application. Steps are: expand the .zip file to a folder that will not be used by the application. Do ^%RI for the installation routines in the production namespace. Do the Installation routine. We have a customer that is trying to do a silent installation. He does not want to have to respond to any prompts on the installation. We do have a silent option for the Installation routine and that is working well.

Question Colin Brough · Aug 15, 2023

We need to generate a PDF file from an HL7 message as it passes through an Ensemble production. Looking for examples, tutorials, documentation aligned to our scenario.
We are currently using Ensemble (so can't use InterSystems Reports at the moment). Thinking Zen reports...
We can get from HL7 to XML OK, following Introduction to InterSystems Health Connect - YouTube (see c.1:11:00-1:13:00)

Question Colin Brough · Oct 5, 2023

Is there a difference in outcome between the two screengrabs below?

In both cases, when  certain conditions are met, a transformation is called and the output sent on to two targets. In the first case we surmise the transformation is called twice, and the output of the first run sent to the first target, the output of the second run to the second target. In the second case we surmise the transformation is called once, and the output duplicated and sent to the two targets.

Question Thomas Vessiere · Sep 17, 2024

Hello.

I have a business process with an "ASTM" class : 

Inside this process i have a business rule. Inside this rule i want to get a specific field inside the message :

So i will use the same logic for HL7 messages. Here is the "path" to the segment and the field : 

So i will use this inside the routing rule like i did for HL7 messages. 

i have tried MUCH prefix like "ASTM" "X12" "ESI.X12" ..... I only got errors like << PROPERTY DOES NOT EXIST >> 

Can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong ?

Thanks.

Thomas.

IRIS Health Monitor is part of System Monitor (see here).
The intention is to further process the captured sensor reading in order to identify the "health" of a system by checking the sensor reading values against pre-defined Base, Min and Max absolute values, and alert accordingly. Additionally,  instead of absolute values, you can create Charts (which can be different for different periods of a day), that contain a learned minimum and maximum value after a time spent by the system (at least 24 hours) analysing sensor readings.

What is Journaling?

Journaling is a critical IRIS feature and a part of what makes IRIS a reliable database. While journaling is fundamental to IRIS, there are nuances, so I wrote this article to summarize (more briefly than our documentation which has all the details) what you need to know. I realize the irony of saying the 27 minute read is brief.

Hi Developers!

Recently we launched InterSystems Package Manager - ZPM. And one of the intentions of the ZPM is to let you package your solution and submit into the ZPM registry to make its deployment as simple as "install your-package" command.

To do that you need to introduce module.xml file into your repository which describes what is your InterSystems IRIS package consists of.

This article describes different parts of module.xml and will help you to craft your own.

I will start from samples-objectscript package, which installs into IRIS the Sample ObjectScript application and could be installed with:

zpm: USER>install samples-objectscript

It is probably the simplest package ever and here is the module.xml which describes the package:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Export generator="Cache" version="25">
  <Document name="samples-objectscript.ZPM">
    <Module>
      <Name>samples-objectscript</Name>
      <Version>1.0.0</Version>
      <Packaging>module</Packaging>
      <SourcesRoot>src</SourcesRoot>
      <Resource Name="ObjectScript.PKG"/>
    </Module>
  </Document>
</Export>

Hello Community,

In this article, I will outline and illustrate the process of implementing ObjectScript within embedded Python. This discussion will also reference other articles related to embedded Python, as well as address questions that have been beneficial to my learning journey.

As you may know, the integration of Python features within IRIS has been possible for quite some time. This article will focus on how to seamlessly incorporate ObjectScript with embedded Python.

During testing the added Multi-Namespace feature I met a challenge
that required intervention. This simple request created 1000 lines of output.

USER>do^rcc.find
----------------
 
enter search string [$ZU] <blank> to exit:
          Verbose? (0,1) [0]:
          Force UpperCase? (1,0) [1]:
 
enter code type (CLS,MAC,INT,INC,ALL) [ALL]:
 
select namespace (ALL,%SYS,DOCBOOK,ENSDEMO,ENSEMBLE,SAMPLES,USER) [USER]: all
  • As for the verbose variant you my run a log on your terminal to keep the result in details
  • though a real summary was still missing.

Question Charles TETU · Sep 12, 2024

Hi there,I'm discovering IRIS and I need to POC the solution, with a constraint: containerization.I'm used to deploy my apps in a Swarm cluster, and all my bind volumes are written on a GlusterFS volume.The problem here, when I start my stack, the first log is:[WARN] ISC_DATA_DIRECTORY is located on a mount of type 'fuse.glusterfs' which is not supported, consider a named volume for '/iris_conf'And of course the deployment fails.Any idea? How can I provide my data on all my cluster nodes? I read this article: https://community.intersystems.com/post/deploying-sharded-cluster-docke…

I have a DOS batch file that calls *.scr script to back up an existing routine and upload the newly updated one.

I have a backup folder setup in C:\Users\[username]\Backup\ on each server, some with more recent versions of cache. The *.scr script calls on the command:  $SYSTEM.OBJ.Export(routine,path) .
