As it says in documentation %ZEN.Auxiliary.jsonProvider been deprecated. We been using it's functions like %ConvertJSONToObject, WriteJSONFromObject etc. Is there any replacement?
A customer wants to create an IRIS for Health business rule via the graphical editor, and then to execute that rule in ObjectScript without the context of an interoperability production. Is this possible, and if so, how?
It can sometimes be useful to list or export all of the subclasses that are derived, directly or indirectly, from a given class. In Studio, the Class -> Derived Classes menu option will show such a list, but I'm not aware of a built-in API for programmatically exporting their source code.
Yesterday I wrote some code for exporting derived classes, and I'm thinking about cleaning it up and putting it on Open Exchange. But if there's a simple way to do this that someone has already figured out, I'd be happy to know about that (and help others find that solution) rather than reinventing the wheel.
Hello again everyone.
In our previous article we saw how to configure our EMPI to receive FHIR messages. To do this we installed the FHIR Adapter that InterSystems made available to us that configured a REST endpoint to which we could send our FHIR message. We would then get the message and transform it to a %String that we would send via TCP to the output of our EMPI configured in our HSPIDATA namespace.
Alright, it's time to see how we retrieve the message, transform it back to a %DynamicObject and parse it to the class used by the EMPI to store the information.

As previously announced at Global Summit 2022, InterSystems will discontinue shipping or installing an Apache-based web server (often referred to as the private web server or PWS); this change is currently planned for InterSystems IRIS 2023.2.
With this new approach, you have full control to choose which web server best suits your purposes, and how you configure, maintain, and update it. A key benefit of this change is that you will no longer have to wait for an updated kit from InterSystems to get the latest version, which is important especially in security vulnerability situations.
Hey Developers,

Starting in version 2021.1, InterSystems IRIS began shipping with a python runtime in the engine's kernel. However, there was no way to install packages from within the instance. The main draw of python is its enormous package ecosystem. With that in mind, I introduce my side project zpip, a pip wrapper that is callable from the iris terminal.
What is zpip?
Hi all,
We are doing a SQL server upgrade to SQL server v.15 from a legacy server which had v.10 . I have our Cache server as a linked server int order to pull data from our system. When building out the ROWSPEC, I have my fields typed as %String with various lengths with one field having a max length of 15000. The SQL server is trying to interpret this as a text data type instead of varchar(n). Text is a depracated data type since SQL server 2008.
Hi Community,
I'm pleased to announce DEVBOX, the code anywhere IDE for IRIS.
Please watch the video and let me know what you think. Would you use it?
All the best,
Sean.
Our LDAP authentication is set to a specific servername, we would like to use LDAPS and a virtual name pointing to our load balancer.
Hi devs!
How one can understand the classnames of request and response messages of a given operation?

E.g. when I build the data transformation, how do I know which message will come to the operation?
Suppose you have routine ^A loaded in your partition in programmer mode and you call routine ^B. Routine ^B finds the value of $ZU(96,9) which should be the calling routine.
But $ZU(96,9) now returns null, as does $SYSTEM.Process.CallingRoutine()
Works on 2018.1.7 but not 2018.1.8
$ROLES= %All on both systems
More precisely I have line label ZZPP in ^%ZLANGC00 which needs to identify the original routine in the partition and do some work on it. When I type ZZPP I get nothing on the later version. Here's the line of code:
ZZPP New RTN Set RTN=$ZU(96,9) QUIT:RTN="" WRITE !
Now the Classes/Rutines/DeepSee files will be automatically exported to the working directory after saving or compiling and files will be automatically deleted .
Installation
To install isc-dev , you just need to download and import the file isc-dev.xml from last release.
Some ways to import isc-dev .xml file:
- Go to Management Portal -> System Explorer -> Classes -> Import and select the XML file.
- Drag the file over Studio.
- Terminal command:
NS>do $system.OBJ.Load("yourpath/isc-dev.xml","ck")
- Get it from Package Manager Client:
NS>zpm
zpm: NS>install isc-dev
How to enable this feature:
- After importing the class in the target namespace, run the following method to set up the working directory:
NS>do ##class(dev.code).workdir("/path/to/your/working/directory/src/")
- Go to Management Portal -> System Administration -> Configuration -> Additional Settings -> Source Control.
- Select the target namespace and set the
dev.FileManExtensionclass as the main one and save it. - Try to create a new class in the studio and save/compile it
- Enjoy!
InterSystems FAQ rubric
It can be obtained by using the Size query of the system-provided %SYS.GlobalQuery class.
See the sample code below for usage examples.
*Please check the class reference for specifying columns and parameters.
set dir="C:\intersystems\iris\mgr\user" // IRIS.DAT(or CACHE.DAT) folder
set rs = ##class(%ResultSet).%New("%SYS.GlobalQuery:Size")
do rs.Execute(dir) // You can also specify a mask with the 3d parameter
while (rs.Next()) {
set gname= rs.Get("Name") // global name
set gsize= rs.Get("Used MB") // global size (MB)
write gname," : ",gsize,!Hi Community,

I have a question about how to modify a XData Block programmatically . Assume i have a impl.cls and there is a XData Block (like XData OpenAPI [ MimeType = application/json ]) in the impl.cls. In other class, can i write a fucntion to modify the context in the XData Block?
Ps: The document already show how to read the XData blcok, if i want to insert something into the block and save it back, how can i do this programmatically (eg write a method and read the block from other class, write something into the block and save it ) ??
Thanks

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out why I'm unable to iterate through a dynamic array and access the nested objects.
Using the NHS PDS FHIR API in the NHS sandbox environment, I'm querying the PDS endpoint using a sample NHS Number to retrieve a patient's demographics. My Business Operation reads the response data and passes it back to my Business Process where I intend on iterating through certain nested objects. The data present in these nested objects will decide what happens next in the process.
In the JSON snippet below, I'm attempting to access the values of code and display.
Is it possible to hide certain properties in a class from displaying in the BPL visual editor, if you want to prevent drag and drop from accessing them or otherwise controlling or restricting their behavior?
Virtual document messages, such as EnsLib.HL7.Message, have hidden fields, such as Source, that do not show, presumably since the field list is rebuilt from the document schema. Setting the flag Internal, or XMLPROJECTION = "NONE" doesn't do it. Trying to follow the Virtual Document precedent to rebuild or edit the field list seems like a heavy list.
The extended maintenance releases of InterSystems IRIS, InterSystems IRIS for Health, and HealthShare Health Connect 2023.1.1 are now available. This release provides bug fixes for the previous 2023.1.0 releases.

⏯ Projecting Data into InterSystems IRIS with Foreign Tables
I have several 1GB journals from a LIVE server that I would like to inspect (eg: check which globals have been updated over the time).
Is there a simple way to view those journals using another IRIS instance ? (eg: local installation).
I have been tempted to put those files directly into the journal folder of my local installation and restart the system, however I am concerned that the transactions they contains will be restored and will corrupt the local database.
I have checked documentation but couldn't find anything.
Hi Community,

Hi All,
I am trying to fetch resultset using the below code -
set rs = ##class(%ResultSet).%New("Simple.Person:ValidateAge")
do rs.Execute()
it is giving me error while the same code I run it through iris terminal worked fine.
I want to understand that problem behind this. Also how can I check the possible methods that I can use on 'rs' somewhat dir() does in python.
Hi Developers, I am glad to announce Git for InterSystems IRIS, my first submission to OpenExchange and part of the current Developer Tools Contest.
Git for InterSystems IRIS is a source control package that aims to facilitate a native integration of the Git workflow with the InterSystems IRIS platform. It is designed to work as a transparent link between InterSystems IRIS and a Git-enabled code directory that, once setup, requires no user interaction. A detailed description can be found on GitHub.
I am looking forward to learn what you think about this approach. Does it make sense?
