Question: can a business process with pool size > 1 invoke external programs in parallel via $ZF(-100)?

We have a production that takes HL7 (ORU_R01) messages in and produces a PDF from each one for onward transmission to a document store.

The PDF creation is implemented in a business process which transforms the HL7 to XML, saves the XML to the filesystem, then calls Apache FOP (the version distributed with Ensemble) via $ZF(-100) to produce the PDF, which is stored on the filesystem.

Hello, 
A customer whose Ensemble code contains lots of hardwired API URL calls is running into issues because of the IRIS instance name insertion in the URL path since IRIS v 2024.1.

What are the best solutions to revert to the previous URL path or automatically and dynamically rewrite this path (Apache mod_rewrite ? Proxies ?). Any examples ? 
Thanks for your help,

Is there a wizard to override pieces of class (parameters, properties, methods, etc.) like there is in Studio? I can't find this functionality anywhere. If it's not there, it's certainly a piece I'll sorely miss as we transition to VS Code.

Hello everyone,

I'm currently working on getting familiar with OAuth2, following this article. Since Part 2 involves using PKI, I decided to implement it as outlined in the article. However, I've run into an issue that I can't seem to resolve, and my searches on Google haven't yielded any useful results.

Here's a brief overview of what I've done so far:

Configuring the PKI Server:

• Navigated to: System Administration > Security > Public Key Infrastructure > Configure Local Certificate Authority Server.
• Filled in all the required fields and saved the configuration.

I use the following code to loop trough all globals : 

set name=""
for
{
   set name=$order(^$GLOBAL(name))
   quit:name=""
   write name,!
}

However this is really slow : about 1second per node. 

I ran debugger, and it seems most of the time is spend in "%SYS.GD Visible" function. There is a comment that says : 
"Sees if globals in dataset are visible to our namespace"
This function loop on a global named  ^mtemp which contains lot of records (10K or more).
I have cleared global, hoping it has been filled by another process but it's not (it seems to be filled by %SYS.

Hi Experts Can you advise how to setup a nic for VIP ?

Can you confirm that using this command is the correct

ip addr add *.*.*.*/2 dev nic?

then configure the VirtualAddressInterface in iris.cpf

restart and end enable in the smp?

thank you in advance

Dear All,

I am currently part of a team that is developing an application using Microsoft PowerApps as the front end and IRIS as the backend.  Effectively that frontend screens, which are house and an Azure serve, call a series of REST interfaces exposed by IRIS from a physical Microsoft server.  During the development stage we have not had any security in place but now we need to secure the application using a single sign on.  PowerApps relies on Microsoft Entra for its security both LDAP and OAuth.  Has anyone in the community connected IRIS to Microsoft Entra?

Hello, I am total newbie when it comes to ObjectScript (just started going through the tutorial).  We have a task where we have to update the port number for 75-100 items (say for half of the items in our production).  Going through the documentation and other community posts it looks like we could utilize class method 'ApplySettings' in Ens.Production.  But we are running into an issue.  Below is what we currently have.  When we hard code the item, it works.  But, if we store the item in a variable and try it pass it through.  Then it doesn't work.  We are also not seeing an error.

Hey,

since our instance of iris is just utilized during working hours, I would like to simply copy all data via FTP from the server to a NAS during the night.

Are there reasons against this approach?

Are there batch examples of how to stop and start the database?

Thank you in advance!

Erik

Accessing an Azure cloud storage to upload/download blobs is quite easy using the designated %Net.Cloud.Storage.Client class API methods, or using the EnsLib.CloudStorage.* inbound/outbound adaptors.

Note that you'll need to have the %JavaServer External Language Server up and running to use the cloud storage API or adaptors, since they both use the PEX framework using the Java Server.

Dear ladies and gentlemen, in the last month I've improved my Tool Caché Monitor... but first: the name

The name Caché Monitor was chosen to reflect the close integration of the tool with the Caché database. The established name Intersystems Caché will likely be completely replaced by InterSystems IRIS Data Platform in the foreseeable future I think. So a rebranding step became necessary. In order to be less closely tied to a product name in the future, a new name has been chosen to be more neutral: SQL Data Lens

Suppose you have an application that allows users to write posts and comment on them. (Wait... that sounds familiar...)

For a given user, you want to be able to list all of the published posts with which that user has interacted - that is, either authored or commented on. How do you make this as fast as possible?

Here's what our %Persistent class definitions might look like as a starting point (storage definitions are important, but omitted for brevity):

Class DC.

I have an application that is called by terminal in local cache environment. The application basically has two processes that runs and does the below call to retrieve files and sub-directories in separate folders.    When the main process starts, it jobs off and calls the second process that gathers all files in a directory by using a window dir and file command that pipes the results to a file.  The main process continues on and does the same thing but from a different folder.  When checking out what was retrieved by the secondprocess, there were directories and files missing.   When I run this as just one process it works properly.    I am running this on a 2017 license cache instance.   I have also tried this on IRIS instance and got the same results.  Could you please advise me what is causing the window directory to not work properly when running the processes at the same time?

I am leveraging the cloud storage adaptor to upload objects to an S3 bucket.  I now need to add Tags to the object, but I don't see any mechanism within IRIS to allow adding of Tags.

Is that functionality currently available?

Hi Community,

⏯ Introducing Managed Solution for Asset Management @ Global Summit 2023

Welcome to the Q3’2024 quarterly platforms update.  We have some news on the AIX front to encourage better security, along with our usual round of OS version updates. 

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. 

Wondering if gherkin (or even cucumber) can be used with IRIS software for testing?

InterSystems FAQ rubric

Temporary globals stored in the IRISTEMP/CACHETEMP databases are used when a process does not need to store data indefinitely, but requires the powerful performance of globals. The IRISTEMP/CACHETEMP databases are not journaled, so using temporary globals does not create journal files.

The system uses the IRISTEMP/CACHETEMP databases for temporary storage and are available to users for the same.

For more information about temporary globals and the IRISTEMP database, see the following document:
Temporary Globals and the IRISTEMP Database

The globals used as temporary are:

Hi fellows,

How can I query all Patient SDA from a Regestry and export to file? Exist some table when I can query all Patient?

To export, I found the class HS.SDA3.QuickXML and method ToQuickXMLStream, but I can't find a table where query all Patient, by update date for example.

Thanks in advanced!

Hi Guys

I'm getting  syntax error using && operator in using JS in my Zen page, the || works fine!?

Thanks

The first developer preview of InterSystems IRIS 2024.3 and InterSystems IRIS for Health 2024.3 has been posted to the WRC developer preview site.  Containers can be found on our container registry and are tagged latest-preview.

This is a very early build in the release cycle and there aren’t any “highlight” worthy features that are complete.  They’ll start to arrive in future preview releases.

Initial documentation can be found at these links below.

If anyone has experience debugging Embedded Python or has insight into why an ObjectScript method when called from a Python method would not work but would work when called directly via ObjectScript or in a Python shell, your help would be appreciated! 

We have an ObjectScript ClassMethod called GetTemplateString() which takes in a templateName of String type and uses the template name to get the template object, access the Code, and read the code into a templateString. The string version of the Code is returned.

Any who has encounter the same error can please share your experience?

Trying to launch management portal and encountered "Server availability error". Port 57772 is open, IIS admin service and world wide web publishing service are running. checked firewall and no issues.

Hi

I've more than 100 classes that are packed like  CRD.Health.MyClass so I've defined the global mapping as CRD*, but now I would like to map some of the classes (CRD.Health.SomeClass) to different database so how can I exclude it from my current mapping to be in the new one because if I map it in the new database it will still conflict with the old mapping?

Thanks     

Today we have an unusual code golf: build a program (using only printable ASCII characters, tabs and newlines) that prints out exactly the characters in the printable ASCII space (characters 32 to 126) that don't appear in your program's source code (in any order, however many times you want).

As usual, the goal is to produce the shortest code to do this.

My (admittedly not very good, but does the job!) entry:

Class ascii.ascii {

ClassMethod ascii()
{
    set x="!#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<>?

Traditional Caché Objectscript has the multi-dimensional array as its main form of complex data structure and the $order command as the main means of traversing said data structures. But newer versions of Caché ObjectScript also have data structures that are direct parallels of what languages such as JavaScript provide, in the form of %DynamicObject and %DynamicArray. These have an easy to use iterator feature via the %GetIterator method, and even a handy built-in literal syntax for constructing new objects.
