Hi Community,

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

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

I though this is a pretty cool way of installing webterminal in an environment where I had Management Portal / Visual code access, but I had no terminal access. zpm was already present. otherwise you could add it in the same class.

1. Create the following class file
2. Compile. This will take a while, and then you will see the output from zpm!
3. You can now open the webterminal by opening http://your-host/terminal/

Class Theo.Util.Webterminal Extends %RegisteredObject
{

/// Description
ClassMethod install() As %Status [ CodeMode = objectgenerator ]
{
    zpm "install webterminal"
}

}

It is probably somewhere in the doc. So hard to search. Hope InterSystems going to AI on their community/support data. 

How to see a meaningful value in management portal - sql explorer. For instance
Class MySetting Extends %Persistent{
     Property Name As %String;

Class MyObj Extends %Persistent{
    Property Setting As MySetting;

When browsing MyObj in management portal (just select * from MyObj - lazy to do a join), I will see 1,2.. values in the Setting column. I would like to see the Name. I do not want index MySetting with Name as primary as the name can change

Thank for your comment.

Hey Community,

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

Hi Community, 

We'll show you the recent changes to InterSystems HealthShare Clinical Viewer and what is coming next:

I recently had the need to monitor from HealthConnect the records present in a NoSQL database in the Cloud, more specifically Cloud Firestore, deployed in Firebase. With a quick glance I could see how easy it would be to create an ad-hoc Adapter to make the connection taking advantage of the capabilities of Embedded Python, so I got to work.

Preparing the environment

To start, we need an instance of the database on which we can perform the tests. By accessing the Firebase console, we have created a new project to which we have added the Firestore database.

Hi all,

I have a situation where I am writing to global from different processes - let's call it an Event Queue.
There is then a different process that uses $order to read through the data - the PubSub processing BP.

Sometimes the writing of this global will form part of a transaction that also insert data into other tables, using tstart and tcommit.
If there is some issue, it will roll back, and the entry written to the global will also roll back.

Hi all,

I want to share a quick little method you can use to enable ssl with a self signed certificate on your local development instance of IRIS/HealthShare. This enables you to test https-specific features such as OAuth without a huge lift.

1. Install OpenSSL

Windows     : Download from https://www.openssl.org or other built OpenSSL Binary. 

Debian Linux: $ sudo apt-get -y install openssl

RHEL        : $ sudo yum install openssl

2. Create a self-signed certificate pair.

Say I've been developing a web application that uses IRIS as the back end. I've been working on it with unauthenticated access. It's getting to the point where I would like to deploy it to users, but first I need to add authentication. Rather than using the default IRIS password authentication, I'd like users to sign in with my organization's Single Sign On, or some other popular identity provider like Google or GitHub. I've read that OpenID Connect is a common authentication standard, and it's supported by IRIS. What is the simplest way to get up and running?

Introduction

There is a Link Procedure Wizard option within the Management Portal (System > SQL >Wizards > Link Procedure) which I had reliability issues with so I decided to use this solution instead.

Problem

You need to query an external SQL database to use the response within a namespace. This guide is assuming that you already have a working stored procedure in SSMS although you could instead use a SQL block within the operation. Stored procedures in SSMS are preferred to maintain integrity, Embedded SQL can get very confusing if you have a complicated SQL statement.

Visual Studio Code releases new updates every month with new features and bug fixes, and the March 2024 release is now available. 

I am currently adding a field to our Existing messaging from Epic, however there might be a possibility I need to back load data into the Ancillary system. While I have the previous messages that can be sent, they do not have this additional field that I am adding to the message.

I can do a lookup against Epic Clarity SQL Database; however, I don't want to throw a wrench into the workflow if the system cannot connect to the Epic Clarity SQL Database.

• What is the best solution for this?

Hi,

I am trying to connect to another server using  %Net.HttpRequest.

I keep getting this error  : SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unsupported protocol.

My guess is that the site I am reaching for uses TLS1.3 which is not supported in 2016, But I cant right now ask my client to upgrade.

Is it possible to override this ? install some kind of a patch or a more recent version of openssl on the server ?

Thanks

InterSystems FAQ rubric

The Web/CSP Gateway management page is typically configured so that it cannot be accessed from client machines.

To access from any client, do the following:

1. Launch a browser from a system with access to the Web/CSP Gateway management page and access the Management Portal.
2. Under Management Portal > System Administration > Configuration > click CSP Gateway Management.
3. Click Default Parameters that appear in the left pane of the page that appears.
4. Enter *.*.*.* in the system management machine and press the Save Settings button.

For example, I have two timestamp values ('2024-04-01 10:00:00', '2024-04-01 11:30:30'). I would like to find the difference between these two timestamps, and I need the result in hours:minutes:seconds (hh:mm:ss) format.

Expected Output: 01:30:30

Note: I need an SQL query command. I should not use ClassMethod, Function, or Stored Procedure.

Could anyone please provide me with an SQL query for my question?

Hi Guys,

I'm converting our system from Ensemble 2014 to 2018 and we do have Security package of classes in deployed mode in our 2014 (eg. Users, Role, ...etc) which doesn't exist in our newly installed 2018, so how can I include those classes in 2018?  

Thanks

Hi Community,

A report that I need to create - I need to write a class method that will execute a few queries and save the data to a class and then return the data in a result set that can be used in the Logi report as a Stored procedure.

I can create the class method that is a Stored procedure and do the queries and manipulate the data, however I am having an issue at the end of the method to return the fields back as a result set.

Hi Guys,

After converting from Ensemble 2014 to 2018 and ran my application I get the below error message:

MSDS.ZEN.Component.imageclickbuttom exits and compiles fine and also compiled the Zen page extending the class successfully  but still getting the error so not sure why I'm still getting the error!?

Thanks

Hi Guys,

I've upgraded from Ensemble 2014 to 2018 and copied all classes across, ran Upgrade & CompileAll and looks fine, but when trying to search on dataCombo I get the below error  

here is the definition of the Combo

<dataCombo id="dcLoc" enclosingStyle="font-size:14px;padding-bottom:5px;" placeholder="Choose Locations" controlClass="textLogin" valign="middle"  buttonImage="images/expand-v2.png" buttonImageDown="images/expand-v2.

After running many tests to kick the tires calling Python from COS (which worked fine) in any directory,  I encountered problems when trying to access Python libraries like Numpy from any OTHER namespace.   I saw some other posts about this but the resolution seems unclear.   When I run the test program method numpytest below in %SYS it works just fine.  If i run the Python method in any other namespace I get: 

PITT>do ##class(test.python).numpytest()
DO ##CLASS(test.python).

Hello,

I am trying to find or locate all Intersystems business components using a particular class. Like I want to find component is using abc.test.cls class.

I know that you can use Do $SYSTEM.SQL.Schema.ImportDDL() to insert sql files into IRIS however I was wondering if there is a way that I can upload .sqlite files into iris? I have about 20 .sqlite files that I need to get into my database. I tried using the ImportDDL method but it said "SKIPPING non-SQL SOURCE:"

In The Business Process and the Business Operation, I am using the following code to get the value of TimeCreated and TimeProcessed 

BP:

%Ensemble("Process").%PrimaryRequestHeader.TimeCreated

%Ensemble("Process").%PrimaryRequestHeader.TimeProcessed

BO:

..%RequestHeader.TimeCreated

..%RequestHeader.TimeProcessed

But I am trying to use ..%RequestHeader.TimeCreated in Business Service it is not storing any value.

How to get the value of TimeCreated and TimeProcessed in Business Service?

Hello

I am trying to convert some old rest classes using the OpenApi spec (e.g. %REST.Impl)

Say I want to return a 401 in my impl.cls for api and I can define the status code as follows, e.g.

 Do ..%SetStatusCode("401")
 Do ..%SetContentType("application/json")

However the api client will see this as 401 OK which is not right.

In the past, I could just create a rest class that extends from %CSP.REST and return as follows:

Set%response.Status = ..#HTTP401UNAUTHORIZED

This will return 401 Unauthorized, which what I expect to see reported in the api
