An updated developer preview of InterSystems IRIS 2024.2 and InterSystems IRIS for Health 2024.2 has been posted to the WRC developer preview site.  This release contains a few noteworthy changes:

• Containers – we skipped containers for the previous preview, but we’re including them this time.  In a future preview, we’re planning to switch these to use the Ubuntu 24.04 base image.
• Ubuntu 24.04 support – this preview includes support for the brand-new Ubuntu 24.04 operating system.  We will be dropping support for Ubuntu 20.04 in a later preview.

Geographic use of vector search

The basic idea is to use Vectors in the mathematical sense.
I used geographic coordinates. These are of course only 2-dimensional
but much easier to follow as vectors in text analysis with >200 dimensions.

The example loads a list of worldwide capitals with their coordinates
The coordinates are interpreted as vectors from geographic point 0°N/0 W
(some very wet spot in the Gulf of Guinea, >400 km from the African Coast)
Finding common directions from that spot is a quite theoretical case.
So adjustment to your preferred starting point is implemented.

The OpenAPI Specification (OAS) defines a standard, language-agnostic interface to HTTP APIs which allows both humans and computers to discover and understand the capabilities of the service without access to source code, documentation, or through network traffic inspection. When properly defined, a consumer can understand and interact with the remote service with a minimal amount of implementation logic. While for SOAP based APIs there is a special wizard in InterSystems IRIS that cuts down orchestrations development time, not all APIs used in integrations are SOAP. That's why @Jaime Lerga suggested to add a wizard similar to the SOAP wizard to generate a REST client from OpenAPI specification. Implementation of this idea cuts down the development time of the REST API orchestrations with InterSystems IRIS. This idea is one of most popular ideas on the InterSystems ideas. This article, the third in the "Implemented Ideas" series, focuses on the OpenAPI Suite solution developed by @Lorenzo Scalese.
 

I have just started working on cache and I am trying to push code from a tfs repo to a cache server namespace. I know that from you vscode you just can compile and that would reach the namespace. But I want this process to be automated , like a ci/cd pipeline that gets triggered only from a kube container. Is there any documentation which I can follow. We are still using cache not IRIS

Hello All,

Visual studio code doesn't allow debugging of code or running of code as far I can see. Since I am new, could someone guide me on this. 

Thanks 

Hello!

Trying to configure tortoise GIT in Linux System

NAME="Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server"
VERSION="7.9 (Maipo)"
My steps

1. Enable [write-access](http://docs.intersystems.com/ens20151/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?K…) to CACHELIB database via the Management Portal. (This is required for csp-page with settings import.)
2. Import project in %SYS:

    %SYS> do $system.OBJ.ImportDir("/arch/cache-tort-git-master/","*.xml","ck",,1)

3. Now you can disable write-access to CACHELIB.
4. In Management Portal select the new %SourceControl.

I am attempting to configure an inbound service that utilizes the EnsLib.SOAP.GenericService class. This service receives HL7-v3 content wrapped in SOAP requests. Despite reading the documentation on configuring SOAP services, I am still confused.

In my current configuration item "Fr_Centrak_RTLS", I have ‘Enable Standard Requests’ checked, ‘Pool Size’ set to 0, and the port is unspecified.

I have also configured a web application with the following details:

My challenge is determining the correct URL address for sending SOAP traffic to this service.

I have an angular UI communicating with a iris rest api. Now I need to authenticate (to federated) before accessing the UI, and for a better solution  as the users are using the healthshare clinical viewer 2023, find a way to use the clinical viewer authentication / user to go to the UI.

The angular way would be to do an angular guard and have a function 'am I authenticate to federated', but I never found a function like this and how to get my username.

Hi, please let me know where i find details on Objectscript internal implementation - is it an interpreted language ? - compiled into binary code (how - which compiler/toolchain ?) ? - support of LLVM ? thanks a lot Frank

I need to convert dd/mm/yyyy --> yyyymmdd

example

Input = 25/03/1988

expected Output = 19880325

⏯ Container Lifecycle - When is Your App Ready to Accept Work @ Global Summit 2023

Question for folks who have connected to an External FHIR repository outside of IRIS. Within the HS.FHIRServer.Interop.HTTPOperation there is not an option to include TLS or an OAuth authentication when connecting to an external Repository. So then how is that piece done if you need to Authenticate against an OAuth Server before you are able to access the data or call the Web Services/REST calls?

I am trying to setup a OAuth2.0 configuration to connect to a server within our Network using OAuth2.0. My previous attempt worked, however forgot to capture the steps before I had whipped the System so please bear with me. 

I have an SSL/TLS Client configuration setup as we use the setup for our LDAP configuration. 

When I go through the following steps within the Terminal, I am getting the following error...

%SYS>kill ^ISCLOG
%SYS>set scope="openid fhirUser"
%SYS>set jwt = ##class(%SYS.OAuth2.Authorization).GetAccessTokenJWT("EpicFHIRPOC","1fd8f5cc-18ee-4eff-990d-4606037b932e",scope

Hi Community,

InterSystems Certification Program officially changed exam delivery platforms from Questionmark to Certiverse on May 6, 2024. We have made this decision in hopes of providing a better experience for our certification candidates. To take an exam on this new platform, you will be required to sign in with an InterSystems account, the same one that is used for the Developer Community, Online Learning, etc. If you do not have one, please register for an account.

Find more information about Taking InterSystems Exams on Certiverse here, and reach out to certification@intersystems.

On IRIS version 2024.1.0.262.0 I have a table that store streams as %GlobalCharacterStream.
But depeding on the blob being saved I get the error: [Error: <<MAXSTRING>]

I had that with Caché, but to solve that I'd just enable the long strings on the page System Administration > Configuration > System Configuration > Memory and Startup > Enable Long Strings.
But for Iris I can't find that configuration, I looked on every config page from the portal and couldn't find it.

Btw this blobs are stored on Caché and the system using IRIS is reading from Caché and saving on IRIS.

Hi Community,

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

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

Most examples I've seen so far in OEX or DC left the impression that VECTORs
are just something available with SQL with the 3 Functions especially around VECTOR_Search.
* TO_VECTOR()
* VECTOR_DOT_PRODUCT ()
* VECTOR_COSINE ()
There is a very useful summary hidden in iris-vector-search demo package.
From there you find everything you need over several links and corners.

Hey Community,

Here is a digest of the Developer Community videos on InterSystems Developers YouTube Channel in April 2024:

Hi, 

I'm new to IS and the HL7 transformations using the DTL.  I need some clarification on the foreach action.

I want to iterate over IN1 segments, and output only segments that contain certain allergy types in IN1-2 with foreach.  Inside the foreach block, I check for allergy type "FA" in IN1-2 and, if found, send the segment with only the required fields (fields #1, #2, #3, and #5 to be exact).

Introduction

Accessing Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) buckets programmatically is a common requirement for many applications. However, setting up and managing AWS accounts is daunting and expensive, especially for small-scale projects or local development environments. In this article, we'll explore how to overcome this hurdle by using Localstack to simulate AWS services. Localstack mimics most AWS services, meaning one can develop and test applications without incurring any costs or relying on an internet connection, which can be incredibly useful for rapid development and debugging. We used ObjectScript with embedded Python to communicate with Intersystems IRIS and AWS simultaneously. Before beginning, ensure you have Python and Docker installed on your system. When Localstack is set up and running, the bucket can be created and used. 

Hey Developers,

⏯ Understanding HL7 FHIR Profiles

Did you know that you can get JSON data directly from your SQL tables?

Let me introduce you to 2 useful SQL functions that are used to retrieve JSON data from SQL queries - JSON_ARRAY and JSON_OBJECT. 
You can use those functions in the SELECT statement with other types of select items, and they can be specified in other locations where an SQL function can be used, such as in a WHERE clause

The JSON_ARRAY function takes a comma-separated list of expressions and returns a JSON array containing those values.

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.

I am trying to locate a method that would allow me to differentiate between InterSystems preinstalled/system namespaces and "our own" namespaces. I am interested both in Cache and Iris answers if they are different. Yes, I can list what to disregard, like if not HSLIB or if not DOCBOOK but hoping for a more universal and elegant answer.

In our previous article we presented the general concepts as well as the problem that we wanted to solve by using the task engine integrated in InterSystems IRIS, in today's article we will see how we configure an interoperability production to provide a solution.

Workflow Engine Configuration

First we are going to define the roles of the tasks that we are going to manage, in our example we are going to define two types:

• AutomaticBloodPressureRole: to create automatic tasks that will have no intervention from the user.

Hello community!

As you know, InterSystems will be one more year at the J On The Beach conference, which will take place from May 8 to May 10 in Torremolinos, Málaga.

And we're especially looking forward to seeing you because we know you're going to love what we have in store:

BPL from 10,000 feet

BPL stands for Business Process Language.
This is an XML format for describing complex information orchestration interactions between systems.
InterSystems Integration engine has for two decades, provided a visual designer to build, configure, and maintain, BPL using a graphical interface.
Think of it like drawing a process flow diagram that can be compiled and deployed.

An example: Make a cup of tea

BPL components are added to Integration productions like any other built-in or custom business component.
