1. Overview

With more and more hospital applications built, business interface data processing may be affected by a variety of factors (network, consumer systems, etc.), there is an excessive accumulation of messages or even cause interface lag, affecting the routine performance of hospital IT systems , so the monitoring of the business interface components queue is increasingly important.

While current Intersystems IRIS platform's built-in queue monitoring  only displays real-time queue information for interface components, which is limited in providing the queue data information needed by hospitals. The queue monitoring component program is based on the Intersystems IRIS platform and can monitor all interface components and display component queue information within 24h of the component, as well as query component historical queue data by setting a time period to better meet the needs of current in-hospital applications.

Does anyone happen to have a sample Configuration (CPF) Merge file that includes Action parameters setting up authentication methods (e.g. Password, Kerberos) for certain Services and Web Applications (e.g. via the ModifyService or Modify/CreateApplication AutheEnabled property)?

Thanks!

Hi Community,

I need to find a good way to queue messages and then send them later by document type where document type is an HL7 attribute of the message.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Mike

I am trying get the Unix time stamp  in milliseconds

set epochSecond= $ZDATETIME($ZTIMESTAMP,-2)*1000

but the result is not accurate as $ZDATETIME ignoring /truncating  the fraction of the seconds and the milliseconds calculation is not accurate with fraction seconds

for example

set epochSecond= $ZDATETIME($ZTIMESTAMP,-2)

1675830682

when its converts to the milliseconds

it became 1675830682000. not the accurate fractional seconds. 

My target system looking for the milliseconds time stamp to authenticate. 

Could you please help with steps to return the unix timestamp in milliseconds

Thanks

How to stop a task plan when it starts incorrectly and continues to execute due to disk space and other reasons, which may cause system failure

Hello guys,

i try to call a Operation within 3 foreach loops. 

When i try to do this, i always get the following error: 

I dont get any Errpr when i log my request message at this time i want to call a operation. 

Everything works and i get no error. But when i try to call the operation i get this error.

Then i tried to call a operation in the first Level (not in a ForeachLoop) it works. 

I simply call the operation with the RequestMessage from my Service.

When i now try to copy this call into the third Level (within 3 foreachloops) Then i also get this error.

I dont know what i am doing wrong...

Hello, friends who are developing IRIS. I recently participated in the InterSystems Developer Tools Contest. This time, I made a tool based on the idea described in an article I published earlier as a template for quick query of messages. Currently, you only need to establish entity classes in IRIS, Then record the message corresponding to the entity class in the specified lookup table, and all the key fields generated in the message can be inverted indexed (the concept in ElasticSearch), which is convenient for quick query. The following is the design idea of my program.

So, I know that I can return a SQL Error message from my SQL Procedure written in ObjectScript, with code like this

$ cat <<EOF | irissqlcli iris://_SYSTEM:SYS@localhost:1972/USER
CREATEorREPLACEPROCEDUREtest()
LANGUAGE OBJECTSCRIPT
{
 SET %sqlcontext.%SQLCODE = 400SET %sqlcontext.%ROWCOUNT = -1SET %sqlcontext.%Message = "test error message"
};

CALLtest();

EOF
[SQLCODE: <-400>:<Fatal error occurred>]
[Location: <SPFunction>]
[%msg: <test error message>]

But I did not find how to do it with Python. I can't find %sqlcontext variable available there

Hi all,

In the days when I was still using studio, the indentation character of choice was tab, due to misalignment of code when using non-monospaced fonts.

In VSCode when I create new class files, this defaults to 4 spaces. Where and how do I set the default indentation for ObjectScript class files?

Also, with python it should be spaces. So what is recommended when doing python script inside objectscript classes?

Thank you.

Hi Team , 

Can I please check if anyone has encountered SOAP authentication error when trying to submit a certificate signing request or when trying to get certificate .

I configured a local CA server without SMTP configuration and I configured a local CA client. These steps worked okay.

Then I tried to Submit Certificate Signing Request to Certificate Authority server and I am getting the following error :

Similar error is appearing when I try to use the Get Certificate(s) from Certificate Authority server option

Hi Community
In this article, I will demonstrate the functionality of my app iris-geo-map
 

IRIS Geo Map application is a tool to visualize geographic data by generating interactive maps by using Embedded Python functionality. Application is using Folium Python library

I copied a 5 MB messages.log file to AWS where I have iris-log-viewer app deployed. I ran the test to see how it takes in IRIS code to import the lines into a persistent table:

IRISAPP>set m5mb="/home/irisowner/irisdev/messages.old_20221231.log"

IRISAPP>

IRISAPP>do ##class(otw.log.irislogreader).Test1(m5mb)
Test1 begins at 02/05/2023 12:49:30
ReadLogLines
/home/irisowner/irisdev/messages.old_20221231.log

As my entry into InterSystems Developer Tools Contest happening now I have been working on an alternative to the Console Log Viewer web page provided as part of InterSystems IRIS Management Portal. Console log is a file called messages.log. It is what InterSystems support asks me to send to them when I open a support ticket. Working on IRIS containers deployed in the cloud it is not straight forward to copy the messages.log file to a place where I can attach it to an email. Iris-log-viewer app provides a Download link to download messages.log from any browser. 

Hey Community,

Here is a digest of the Developer Community videos on InterSystems Developers YouTube Channel in January 2023:

Hi Community!

I want to share with you mi first Open Exchange application.

It's a tool to made our developments easier. It's a micro service in a IRIS docker that help us in our new features giving us a way to add short links in our SMS, Email campaigns and for links of the different stores for our apps.

It's very easy to use it.

Simply clone this repo:

https://github.com/daniel-aguilar-garcia/cos-url-shortener.git

Open the folder in VSCode and start the docker.

After that you can create short link version of any link via api request. For example with Postman:

If you want to know more about a new project or generate a new way to see your project, the better way is using mindmaps or markdown documentation. The IRIS Connections allows to you generate the mindmap for your classes and get your classes documentation in a markdown file.

IRIS Connections installation

If you want to install using ZPM:

zpm:USER>install iris-connections

If you want to install using Docker:

1. Clone/git pull the repo into any local directory:

$ git clone https://github.com/yurimarx/iris-connections.git

2. Open the terminal in this directory and run:

$ docker-compose up -d --build

When you need to know the impact on a change in your project, it is very useful to see class dependencies in a network diagram. The IRIS Connections project allows you to see it.

I developed iris-log-viewer on a work laptop using an older version of IRIS. My messages.log file has nearly 10k lines. I noticed it takes a couple of seconds to read messages.log file line by line, import each line into a persistent class, and display messages on my screen. I wonder if Python can speed up the process.

I developed EmbeddedPython class. Initially I imported a python script file to read messages.log file in Python. Later I figured out how to write a Python classMethod where I invoke IRIS classMethod to import one line at a time while reading messages.log.
