Hey, community! 👋

We are a team of Stanford students applying technology to make sense of climate action. AI excites us because we know we can quickly analyze huge amounts of text.

As we require more reports on sustainability, such as responsibility reports and financial statements, it can be challenging to cut through the noise of aspirations and get to the real action: what are companies doing

That’s why we built a tool to match companies with climate actions scraped from company sustainability reports.

In this post, we’ll show you how to implement this tool as a chatbot interfacing with an

Hi. I am struggling to understand the meaning of different elements of an order in my hospital's EHR.

Page: EPR > All Orders

Question: What is the difference between Start Date and Date Executed and Order End Date? If an order was started on Monday and executeed on Tuesday.. does this mean the patient received the order on Monday or Tuesday? and what is End date?

Also, how do I interpret order status? What is the difference between discontinued, verified, and executed?

Also, some  orders have a green / red / yellow bar to their left, that continues as a line under that row. What does that mean?

I have been trying to get to grips with the new dot Net Gateway used in IRIS as the import of the DLL to construct proxy classes is no longer supported in IRIS I have a third party DLL that when I try to instantiate throws an error complaining about the class not instantiated as it does not support parameterless constructor .I am using this new

Hello everyone

I have a question about the maximum number of active license users for CACHÉ.

When I run the command: Do $System.License.ShowCounts()

I get the following return:

1 Current active users
3 Maximum active users
0 CSP users currently active
1 Maximum active CSP users
0 CSP sessions currently in 'grace period'
1 Maximum CSP sessions in 'grace period'

I couldn't find it in the documentation, but I want to know if "3 Maximum active users" is the maximum number of users who have used the license since the period I installed the CACHÉ instance or since another period. Could you help me?

ISCLOGs are a useful debugging tool provided with IRIS that can help you troubleshoot many different issues. For more information about creating these logs, please see the following IRIS documentation: "Logging".

This log is written to the ^ISCLOG global stored in the %SYS namespace. Each global node is a separate event, with additional information sometimes logged to the subnode.

Each entry consists of a list containing the following fields: ID, Category, LogLevel, Message, Namespace, Process ID, Routine, SessionID, Tag, and, TimeAdded. For more details about the different fields, please refer

Hello everyone

For those interested, here is an implementation example I used in one of my projects to interoperate with MongoDB using the pymongo package.

iris-mongodb

Interoperates with MongoDB (via pymongo package) with InterSystems IRIS (including outbound adapter)

Remember to import pymongo package.

implementation example for testing here

NAMESPACE> do ##class(custom.python.pymongo.test).TestMongoDBCrud()

for interoperability, use the following adapter in your business operation:

Parameter ADAPTER = "custom.python.pymongo.outboundAdapter";

Parameter INVOCATION = "Queue";

Hi - Recently I have been investigating an annoying situation whilst editing ObjectScript classes or routines in VSCode.

What was happening to me was, as I was typing in lines of code into my class (for example, adding a new Method, or changing the Class signature, or a block of code),  this would quickly get syntax checked, re-formatted, and compiled - inevitably, (since I would be mid-way through my typing), this would generate compilation errors.

Knowing that I was mid-way through adding code, I could simply dismiss this message, however, this soon got very annoying, and conditioned me to

I have an old .NET 4.5 project, working with database InterSystems.Cache. The project is deployed on a Windows server. Data is retrieved using the InterSystems.Data.CacheClient.dll library.

But now I'm planning migration of the project to .NET 8 to container with linux centos.

How can I get data from InterSystems.Cache in this case?

As I understand it, InterSystems.Data.CacheClient.dll is only for the .NET framework.

The InterSystems.Data.IRISClient.dll library recommended for the more modern InterSystems.IRIS database throws an error 'InterSystems Iris Provider is not compatible with Cache xDBC

Question John Hotalen · Feb 27, 2025

Dear Fellow Cache Gurus:   I would like to know if there is either any built-in Cache Date/Time function or an easy way to include a timezone abbreviation such as EST, PST, MST, etc... within the Cache Date/Time formats.

I read through the Cache Documentation but could not find anything to achieve this.

So if I do the following command:   $ZDateTime($H,1,4,,,4,,,,,"InvalidDate"), then I get an output like this:   02/27/2025 11:10AM

But I am looking for the output to be formatted like this:    02/27/2025 11:10AM EST

Any feedback, suggestions, etc....

I am building a web application that uses JWT for authentication. I would like to pass the token in cookies instead of the Authorization header.
Is there a way to intercept the request and check the token from the cookies instead of the header? I tried overriding the OnPreDispatch() method and adding it to my dispatch class, but it seems like it never gets executed, as the response returns "Unauthorized" before reaching it.

ClassMethod OnPreDispatch(pURL As%String, pMethod As%String, ByRef pContinue As%Boolean) As%Status
{
        Set token = %request.Cookies.Get("JWT-TOKEN")

In the world of APIs, REST is very extended. But what happens when you need more flexibility in your data-fetching strategies? For instance letting the client to choose what fields is going to receive. Enter GraphQL, a query language for your APIs that provides a flexible alternative to REST.

In this post, we will:

  • Compare REST and GraphQL.
  • Dive into the basics of GraphQL: Queries, Mutations, and HTTP.
  • Build a simple GraphQL server implementation using Graphene, SQLAlchemy, and Flask over data in InterSystems IRIS.
  • Explore how to deploy your GraphQL server as a WSGI application in IRIS.

By extending %XML.Adaptor, we can use

Parameter XMLIGNORENULL   

to handle empty tags in output xml file from %Persistent. But this parameter only applies to %String property. What if a class has other types of properties, like %Stream (for holding large chunk of data). What is the recommended handle if we cannot use XMLIGNORENULL here?

Context: In change control, exported .xml file is important to make diff between versions. To correctly handle edits on a previously null property (for example, the first edit to store value in "Data" field), we need XMLIGNORENULL to be "inputonly" so that our
