I am running into an error trying to send an Alert Email to test the functionality of IRIS HealthShare Health Connect  2022.1 compared to Cache HealthShare Health Connect 2018.1.3. I was trying to send an Alert email, when I am getting the following error on my EMailAlert operation which is using EnsLib.EMail.OutboundAdpater.

I verified the message to the EMailAlert was populated, so what could be throwing this error...

I'm trying to update the hosts file on Windows in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

I know that in Linux if you update the hosts file, you sometimes need to restart the Network Manager for the changes to take effect.

So my question is that is there a similar thing that we need to do on Windows or do the changes take effect as soon as the file is saved?

Sync operation in registry is not receiving any request from ODS. I have tried to synchronize from Registry management however, sync operation doesn't receive any request.

HSODS>w ##Class(Ens.Director).StartProduction()

09:51:49.297:Ens.Director: Production 'HSODSPKG.FlashGatewayProduction' starting...
09:51:49.472:...GatewayProduction: Table synchronization state: Waiting

09:52:19.493:...GatewayProduction: Table synchronization state: Waiting
09:52:34.504:...GatewayProduction: Table synchronization state: Waiting

It is clear how to get the request header value with a specific name:

Class My.RestController Extends %CSP.REST
{

ClassMethod processRequest() As %Status
{
    #dim request as %CSP.Request 
    set request = %request
    set h = ##class(%REST.Impl).%GetHeader("...")
    ...    
    return $$$OK
}

But I can't figure out how to enumerate ALL the request headers (and also get all values).

This is a  rather personal view of the history before Caché.
It is in no sense meant to compete with the excellent books from Mike Kadow discussed in an earlier article.
We have different histories and so this is meant to create a different perspective of the past.

The whole story started in 1966 at MGH (Mass.General Hospital) on a PDP-7 Ser.#103
with 8K of memory (18-bit words) [ today = 18K byte ]  as a spare system.

"Serial Number 103 - was located in the basement of the now demolished Thayer Building,
currently [2014] the site of the Cox Cancer Center at MGH.

InterSystems is putting more emphasis on promoting our Early Access Program (EAP), in which users volunteer to work with new software before it becomes generally available. In fact, we will once again be promoting the program at Global Summit.  

The software could be a full InterSystems IRIS release, but is usually focused on a new capability about which we want to collect feedback. The terms and requirements for joining an Early Access Program vary with the the software being evaluated.

Signing up is really simple. Go to this link and fill out the form.

Do you want to get updates for the EAPs?

I have a client who' recently acquired a business that was running software that uses InterSystems IRIS as the database back end.  In the process of preparing to have my company's software installed the client formatted the hard drive of his server, wiping out his data.  I can't convert the data to MS SQL without a functioning database.  He had a backup on an external drive, which I have copied down to my local machine.  I loaded up  a virtual machine with Windows 10 Pro, I installed Docker and IRIS.  I started searching for explicit instructions for restoring the .

The Jupyter Notebook is an open source web application that can be used to create and share documents that contain live text, code, equations and visualizations. It is maintained by the people at Project Jupyter.

Jupyter name comes from the core supported programming languages that it supports: Julia, Python, and R.
It allows users to write code in "cells," which are blocks of code that can be executed individually or together. This makes it easy to test and debug code, as well as to organize and present complex analyses.

Migrating data to another system takes two steps.

1. Migrating class definitions

To migrate the class definition to another system, export it to a file in XML format or UDL format (extension .cls).

The export procedure in Studio is as follows.

Tools > Export

> Select multiple classes you want to migrate with the [Add] button

> Check [Export to local file]

> Confirm that the file type is XML, enter a file name, and click [OK].

After this, import the exported XML and UDL files in the studio on another system. The import procedure in Studio is as follows.

How to translate below code from C to COS?

void encode_value (unsigned char value, unsigned char *tx)

{

 tx [1] = ((value & 0xf0) >> 4) + 0x20;

tx [0] = (value & 0x0f) + 0x20;

}

unsigned char decode_value (unsigned char *rx)

{ unsigned char temp_value = 0; temp_value = (rx [1] - 0x20) << 4;

return (temp_value + rx [0] - 0x20);

Our team has had success creating and publishing Power BI reports using an ODBC connection to an IRIS database, but there have been concerns about the responsiveness of these reports.

As an attempt to improve responsiveness, I'm trying out the "DirectQuery" connection using the InterSystems IRIS connector available in our version of Power BI Desktop (September 2021). 

The version of IRIS I'm connecting with is "IRIS for Windows (x86-64) 2022.

Hi Community!

I think everyone keeps the source code of the project in the repository nowadays: Github, GitLab, bitbucket, etc. Same for InterSystems IRIS projects  check any on Open Exchange.

What do we do every time when start or continue working with a certain repository with InterSystems Data Platform?

We need a local InterSystems IRIS machine, have the environment for the project set up and the source code imported.

So every developer performs the following:

1. Check out the code from repo
2. Install/Run local IRIS installation
3. Create a new namespace/database for a project
4. Import the code into this new namespace
5. Setup all the rest environment
6. Start/continue coding the project 

If you dockerize your repository this steps line could be shortened to this 3 steps:

1. Check out the code from repo
2. Run docker-compose build 
3. Start/continue coding the project 

Profit - no any hands-on for 3-4-5 steps which could take minutes and bring head ache sometime.

You can dockerize (almost) any your InterSystems repo with a few following steps. Let’s go!

Hi Guy,

when running a query on properties with by default it shows  VALUELIST, how can get  DISPLAYLIS, in my class methods not SMP? 

Thanks

Is it possible to stop and start a production from the command line?

If so please tell me the command and hopefully a link to the documentation for such a function.

I understand that you can have only one production per namespace; namespace has to be enabled for production.

Thanks

Let's say you have Python including variable-length arguments methods. How can you call it from ObjectScript? 

def test1(*args):
  return sum(args)
  
def test2(**kwargs):
  a1 = kwargs.get("a1",None)
  a2 = kwargs.get("a2",None)
  return a1+a2

You can call this "a.py" from ObjectScript as below.  For **kwargs argument, create Dynamic Object in ObjectScript and put it into methods with <variablename>... (3 dots) format. 

    set a=##class(%SYS.Python).Import("a")
    write a.test1(1,2,3)   ;; 6
    set req={}
    set req.a1=10
    set req.a2=20
    write a.

InterSystems has corrected a defect that can cause corruption of databases and journal files on AIX systems with IBM POWER8 or later POWER processors. This defect can be triggered only when database or journal encryption is in use.

I am wondering if anyone has created a custom dashboard that can be accessed outside of the Ensemble environment.  What I am looking to do is create a dashboard accessible from a person's computer, on the same company network as Ensemble, that can display information regarding specific services, operations, processes, queues, etc.  I don't want to give a user access to Ensemble, just allow them to display a page in their browser to give them the information they need to make sure their processes are running.

Hi *.*,

I am new to IRIS, IKO and IAM. I have read through a lot of the documentation, but I need clarity on some things that I can't find in the documentation.

• Which Load Balancer does IKO use on the ingress?
  Can it be set to use another one? e.g. nginx-kubernetes + GCP LoadBalancer?
• On a multi-compute and multi-data instances deployment, how do you get to the Management Portal of each instance?
  i.e. The load balancer is the only point of entry into the cluster exposing 1972 and 52773, so how do I route to the individual instances?

Hi everyone,

Before delving too deeply, I was wondering if anybody else had already looked into or had developed a tool that extracts all the elements of a production into a spreadsheet, global, array, object etc.  i.e. the Services, Processes and Operations within a production, and pulled particular properties/settings of those elements into a table - such as Ports, IP, Class, Adaptor, Timeout etc.  ideally I want to present into a web page but if you have a different outputanything that exists will be helpful.
