Hi,

We're working on new capabilities to help you build Agents and AI applications faster with InterSystems IRIS. In order to better understand which entry points and development methodologies would help you most, we've created this brief survey: Building AI solutions with InterSystems IRIS.

Filling it in should not take much more than 5 minutes, and your feedback on this exciting topic will help us fine tune our designs and prioritize the right features.

Thanks in advance!

What are best practices for JSON transformation in IRIS interoperability? This is for a non-healthcare use case, so any tools we happen to have around FHIR might not be available. The motivating use case is trimming down a verbose and needlessly complex REST API response to feed to an LLM - trying to reduce token usage and maybe get better results from less noisy data.

I need to read first six characters from the filename we process in healthconnect, then need to insert these six characters in MSH-6 in the same HL7 message. (please note each file can have multiple HL7 messages with multiple MSH segments)

Is something can be done when first process the file, then insert first characters MSH-6?

Please advice if this is an easy fix.

In this final part of our introduction to Window Functions, we will explore the remaining functions that have not been covered yet. You will also discover performance tips and a practical guide to help you decide when (and when not) to use window functions effectively.

1. Offset and Positional Value Functions

Overview

These functions reference values are calculated from other rows relative to the current row, or they are extracted from the first, last, or nth values within a window.

Use IRIS Load Data in VSCode

The Load Data utility it is an excellent tool to load data from CSV/TXT files into an IRIS SQL Table, but it is required send the target file to the IRIS server and write the Load Data sentence to ingest the file content. Now it is possible select a file in VSCode, set the table destination and submit the request. The vscode-load-data utility will send the file to the IRIS server and run the Load Data command to you! Very simple:

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know how to export projects via VSC?

I opened the project through the "InterSystems Tools" plugin (command is "Edit Code in Project") and I can correctly work on it.

However, when I try using the "ObjectScript" plugin to export the project (right click on the project -> "Export Project Contents")

This message appears and it is not possible to export the project:

Within Provider Data Management, I wanted a way to capture the Code Table mapping errors thrown by HSPD.MDM.FlowControl.Process into a Workflow Task for someone to work. However, because HSPD.MDM.FlowControl.Process can get overwritten during the upgrade process, I cloned it into another Business Process so we can use Workflow Tasks to troubleshoot mapping errors.

In this article, we will discuss all the debugging tools included in the Microsoft Visual Studio Code IDE.

What will be covered:

  • Breakpoints
  • Watch window
  • Call Stack

Let's start by learning about debugging requirements!

Prerequisites

There are two plugins (extensions) for debugging ObjectScript:

The first is part of the InterSystems ObjectScript Extension Pack. The second is Serenji, a standalone plugin that provides an editor, file manager, and debugging functionality. Both plugins can be installed from the plugin store. To activate key functionality, Serenji requires a license. For this article, we'll use the InterSystems ObjectScript Extension Pack to reduce the learning curve. After you've mastered the basics, you can consider purchasing a paid license for Serenji.
