InterSystems and the developer community around ZPM have been working together to take ZPM to the next level, building it into IRIS and making it a tool that can not only manage 3rd-party code, but key parts of InterSystems' products. You can hear a lot more on this topic at Global Summit 2022, and attend an experience lab to get hands-on. 

As a developer, you can also join the ongoing discussion about some final key design issues we are exploring with the community.

Hello to all my fellow Cache Experts.   Quick question about the MONLBL output that identifies performance issues.  There is a metric value output by MONLBL called "Obtain [NEW] connection to Cache".   Supposedly that metric captures the time taken between the request reaching the CSP Gateway and a connection to Cache being reserved for the purpose of servicing the request.   All of that being said, if that metric value is high for many requests, such as 19.x seconds, then can anyone tell me what that metric really means and how to improve (lower) the new connection to Cache time.

Hi All,

I am trying to install IRIS Health CE on a Ubuntu VM, so I can test IAM with it.

Hi All,

I am taking a look at some legacy coding as it seems to be generating an error when processing the messaging. The message being process contains a PDF which we are transforming into a stream and sending to another system.

I have noticed this issue only occurs with PDFS that are roughly 2800kbs in size or above. All other PDFS process fine. 

The error that it is generating is proDOCMAN BPL Error: 5002 : Cache error: <MAXSTRING>zS2+72^pacDOCMAN.proDOCMAN.Thread1.1

proDOCMAN being the name of the process.

I am trying to connect to IRIS deployed on AWS EC2 instance using JDBC connection string but I am getting connection refused. Username :_SYSTEM.

Even the management portal URL is not opening for me

Hello everyone,

I would like to know if it is possible to connect to a REST API through production, without having to write a class that extends %CSP.REST. Is there a GUI based way where I can configure my GetRest and then use EnsLib.REST.GenericService and EnsLib.REST.GenericOperation to configure my production and perform transformations? 

Hi Community:

We've just added two new sessions and a panel discussion (Take a look below.)  And if you haven't registered yet, there's still time.

Hi Community,

I clipped this final list of sessions (with two new ones co-presented with AWS) out of the draft Global Summit Conference Guide. Take a look.

Also, it's not too late to REGISTER >

So out of the nearly 70 sessions, which do you think are the most popular?

Hi ,

We have inbound HL7 message we want to transform. Is it possible to copy inbound NTE segments at ORC level to PID group level in the transformed messages? I see functions  for insert / append / set etc but they appear to be related to specific properties / fields of segments as iodised to the entire segment.

thanks

Hi,

Any suggestion on how to compare dates? Below is my code but it does not seem to work.

USER>w $zdate(zdateh(x,8),1) > $zdate($zdateh(y,8),1)

When I set x to "06/01/2022" and set y to "04/01/2022" gives me an output of 1

When I set x to "09/01/2019" and set y to "04/1/2022" still gives me an output of 1

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi, is there a method that can retrieve both the filename and archive path?

I can get the path to the file ok i.e. set sPath = pInput.Filename and I can get the archive path i.e. set tArchivePath = ..Adapter.ArchivePath

Hello,

I'm using a ComplexBatchFileService to retrieve and process a 425 Mo File ( lines ) 

At some point the Business Service is in failure , and displays this error : 

ERREUR #5002: Erreur Cache: <FILEFULL>%SaveData+18 ^CFAO.EOS.MasterFilePR.PMP.RM.ART1.Record.1 ^CFAO.EOS.MasterFileE50F.RecordD(535405931),e:\eos\

ERREUR #5002: Erreur Cache: <ROLLFAIL>%TRollBack+10 ^%occTransaction

Do you have any idea about the cause of this error ? ( i have checked the iris databases disk space and it's not full )

Thank you in advance. 

Hey Community,

So let's meet the winners...

Hi all.

I have a transform that I am calling from within an objectscript process, and I need to pass it a few values. I have in the past done this using the aux property, however I have got away with only needing to pass in a single value, so I have not had to worry about passing in anything other than a string container.

Hi,
I am looking to define an architecture combining both IRISforHealth's FHIR server and HAPI's MDM capabilities. Is there anyone who has already implemented this type of solution?
The goal is to implement a single patient repository for multiple hospitals, so HAPI MDM is really interesting.
From what I've seen, some of the issues may be around compatibility between Caché and Hybernate.

Thanks

Hello all,

I was looking at some code of a business service of which the author is unknown. It's very simple in what it does; it extends from Ens.BusinessService and has a method that performs SendRequestSync() to a business process. However, I noticed that the business service lacks an OnProcessInput() method. Rather, it uses a method called General() which has the same sort of signature/structure that OnProcess input does--pInput as [Custom Message Class], Output pOutput as [Custom Response Class]. 

The method works as observed in a message trace but I am not sure why.

I have been asked if we can capture the FHIR request and responses.

My first thought was to look at the ODS NameSpace to see if there was already a table with this info being written to.

There are a couple of tables that looked promising HS_FHIRServer_Interop.Request and HS_FHIRServer_Interop.Response. However, they did not pan out.

Is there a table which is capturing the request and responses by chance?

Hello everyone! Don't miss the Developer Community Post Digest for May 2022.

Motivation

This project was thought of when I was thinking of how to let Python code deal naturally with the scalable storage and efficient retrieving mechanism given by IRIS globals, through Embedded Python.

My initial idea was to create a kind of Python dictionary implementation using globals, but soon I realized that I should deal with object abstraction first.

So, I started creating some Python classes that could wrap Python objects, storing and retrieving their data in globals, i.e., serializing and deserializing Python objects in IRIS globals.

How does it work?

While reviewing our documentation for our ^pButtons (in IRIS renamed as ^SystemPerformance) performance monitoring utility, a customer told me: "I understand all of this, but I wish it could be simpler… easier to define profiles, manage them etc.".

After this session I thought it would be a nice exercise to try and provide some easier human interface for this.

The first step in this was to wrap a class-based API to the existing pButtons routine.

I was also able to add some more "features" like showing what profiles are currently running, their time remaining to run, previously running processes and more.

The next step was to add on top of this API, a REST API class.

With this artifact (a pButtons REST API) in hand, one can go ahead and build a modern UI on top of that.

For example -

Good Morning SMEs,

I am a .NET developer and new to using this IRIS Component. We are using InterSystems.Data.Clients ADO.NET component to connection to IRIS, I am able to open the connection but when i called Close, ADO.NET code showing connection is closed state in .NET code but in IRIS side it showing as connection is still open. The will close only after recycling apppool or closing IISExpress/calling application

Here are the steps I used to open the IRIS connection.

IRISADOConnection conn = new IRISADOConnection(connString);
IRISReference pError = new IRISReference("");
conn.

Hi Community,

Just got this schedule finalized (and you are the first to see it.

what class or API I shall be using to execute a piece of sql to another server from one server? From within cache itself not java or python or any other languages.

Anything like $System.SQL.%Connect(...) ?
