Hello,

I need a way to securely store credentials in IRIS that are used to access third-party APIs. These credentials include different clientId/secret pairs that I don't want to expose. While I know that it's possible to define Production Credentials in Ens.Config.Credentials, I understand that they are stored in plain text.

Does anyone have an idea of how to securely store credentials in IRIS? For your information, I am using IRIS with docker-compose and I am wondering if using HashiCorp Vault together with IRIS could be the solution. Has anyone used Vault before with their IRIS installations?

Here’s our Q2’2024 quarterly platforms update.  If you’re new to these updates, welcome!  This update aims to share recent changes as well as our best current knowledge on upcoming changes, but predicting the future is tricky business and this shouldn’t be considered a committed roadmap. 

With that said, on to the update…

I want to customized retry frequency of transaction so that 503 error can be prevented while pushing FHIR bundle to the LFS.

How do I achieve this?

Reference the following algorithm to increase the retry interval of IRIS transaction

An exponential backoff algorithm retries requests exponentially, increasing the waiting time between retries up to a maximum backoff time. The following algorithm implements truncated exponential backoff with jitter:

1. Send a request to the Cloud Healthcare API.
2. If the request fails, wait 1 + random-fraction seconds, then retry the request.

I created a Dotnet api to connect with IRIS database to do some task.
"InterSystems.Data.IRISClient.dll" (NativeAPI) is used in dotnet api to connect IRIS.
I used following code in dotnet to open and close the IRIS connection.

Open Connection
---------------------------
IRISConnection iRISConnect = new IRISConnection();
IRISCommand command = new IRISCommand();
iRISConnect.ConnectionString = "Server=xxxx.com; Port=1972; Namespace=aaa; Password=yyyy; User ID=xxxxxx;";
IRIS NativeAPI = IRIS.CreateIRIS(iRISConnect);
iRISConnect.Open();

Connection Close
--------------------------

Hi Community,

Let's meet at the online meetup with the winners of the Vector Search, GenAI and ML Contest. It's a great opportunity to chat with the InterSystems Experts team and our contestants.

Winners' demo included!

Date & Time: Thursday, May 23, 12 pm EDT | 6 pm CEST

I created %ZSTART, having just learned about it. I included some minimal code to test it, as follows:
%ZSTART
SYSTEM
         WRITE "SYSTEM.",!
         QUIT
JOB
         WRITE "JOB.",!
         QUIT
LOGIN
         WRITE "LOGIN.",!
         QUIT
CALLIN
         WRITE "CALLIN.",!
         QUIT

Now Terminal still works as normal, and sure enough I get "LOGIN" displayed, but when I start Studio I get an error message such as the following. I wonder what Caché ODBC has to do with it.

Continuing with the series of articles on voice file management, we are going to see how we can convert text into audio and receive the file with the chosen voice.
We will also explore how a service from OpenAI can help us analyze a text and determine the mood expressed in it.
Let's analyze how you can create your own voice file and how it can “read” your feelings.

Hi Community,

It's time to announce the winners of the Vector Search, GenAI and ML Contest! 

Thanks to all our amazing participants who submitted 15 applications 🔥 

Just wonder if I could have some ways adding a percentage of weekly delta over the previous one on the top of each stacked bar in a bar chart widget like the one below.

Hi Team,

I am trying to use the inbuilt class: EnsLib.HL7.Service.FileService to pass through an HL7 ADT message as a part of an HL7 to FHIR transformation. We have a client requirement, where we are receiving an NTE segment as a part of the ADT message. I am trying to map the NTE segment to an OBX Segment. I need to implement a counter for OBX segment whenever a NTE segment is found and map the NTE fields to the new OBX segment

How do I implement the counter for OBX?

Thanks

Santosh

Current triage systems often rely on the experience of admitting physicians. This can lead to delays in care for some patients, especially when faced with inexperienced residents or non-critical symptoms. Additionally, it can result in unnecessary hospital admissions, straining resources and increasing healthcare costs.

We focused our project on pregnant women and conducted a survey with friends of ours who work at a large hospital in São Paulo, Brazil, specifically in the area of monitoring and caring for pregnant women.

Hi Developers!

We are happy to present the bonuses page for the applications submitted to the Vector Search Programming Contest!

Introduction

With the rise of Gen AI, we believe that now users should be able to access unstructured data in a much simpler fashion. Most people have many emails that they cannot often keep track of. For example, in investment/trading strategies, professionals rely on quick decisions leveraging as much information as possible. Similarly, senior employees in a startup dealing with many teams and disciplines might find it difficult to organize all the emails that they receive. These common problems can be solved using GenAI and help make their lives easier and more organized.

Hello Community,

Hi, I was working with %sStream.FileBynary and following the doc when I find an info that I'm not sure of.
In the part of the doc where it talks about saving streams, it does not precise where it is saved.
I tried to fill my stream, then rewind, then set the file and finally saved.
And it puts in my default directory with the temporary name.
If I do a zwrite of my stream, I get these properties about the file and directory.
(StoreFile) = "zKc2m8v1.stream"
(NormalizedDirectory) = "C:\InterSystems\Community\mgr\user\stream\"
I figured it was maybe because I used a relative path while using LinkToFile.

Hi,

I'm trying to get an Ensemble 2017.1 environment to make a https connection to a webservice, but currently seeing SSL handshake errors. A fare bit of troubleshooting later, this looks to be related to SNI support, as the webservice I'm trying to hit will only take connections from clients that have SNI support, and has had TLS.v1 enabled for the troubleshooting. Testing this on 2017.2 versions and above the connection works fine, but on 2017.1 and below am seeing handshake errors.
