Hello. I was asked to base64-encode files such as Word documents (which contain images) and then post them to a Jira server. I found code to base64 encode a file here:

https://community.intersystems.com/post/encoding-base64-stream-chunk-si…

It seemed to work, but when someone tried to open the Word document, the images inside could not be displayed.

In this article we are going to see how we can use the WhatsApp instant messaging service from InterSystems IRIS to send messages to different recipients. To do this we must create and configure an account in Meta and configure a Business Operation to send the messages we want.

Let's look at each of these steps in more detail.

Setting up an account on Meta

This is possibly the most complicated point of the entire configuration, since we will have to configure a series of accounts until we can have the messaging functionality.

Here you can read the official Meta documentation.

Data for InterSystems products (table row data, object instance data) is stored in global variables.
The data size of each global can be obtained by clicking the properties of the global you want to view from the Management Portal > System > Configuration > Local Database > Globals page, and then clicking the Calculate Size button on the Global Attributes page that appears.
To display the data sizes of globals in a namespace, you can call ^%GSIZE utility on the terminal.
The method of execution is as follows.

From time to time we develop an Ensemble Production with simple SQL Inbound data from external databases, we need to develop a few new classes. There are at least:

• 1 Ens.Request class with the fields captured from the SQL ResultSet
• 1 Business Service class using SQL Inbound Adaptor, and in the OnProcessInput(), copy the relevant field data from ResultSet to the new Ens.Request, and call either ..SendRequestSync() or ..SendRequestAsync().

Let's say, if these codes can be generated automatically in order to make the entire development more "low

There are often questions surrounding the ideal Apache HTTPD Web Server configuration for HealthShare.  The contents of this article will outline the initial recommended web server configuration for any HealthShare product. 

As a starting point, Apache HTTPD version 2.4.x (64-bit) is recommended.  Earlier versions such as 2.2.x are available, however version 2.2 is not recommended for performance and scalability of HealthShare.

I am actually new to IRIS, and we are DevOps/PowerShell/Ansible team. We want to achieve certain administration tasks like updating Memory, Heap size, Lock size etc., in Management Portal through PowerShell. Is there any way i can achieve this without out logging in into Management portal. Off course, we have namespace, user id and password details. We have installed ODBC drive and able to update tables in the IRIS database. I have seen updating information in management portal getting updated in cpf file but vice versa i am not aware. i did not try though.

Hi,

Hi have problems to import globals, this is a testing only.

From Caché (v.2012, very older, 8 bits character, Latin1 encode) I created a file exporting globals, file *.gof with de web system utilities,.

When  I import these globals to Iris (v2024.1  16 bits character), the restore utility show this error:

Importar a namespace FENIX.

In Index types, I can see "Extent Index", Please tell me in detail about it

InterSystems FAQ rubric

If you want to run an OS executable file, command, or a program created within an InterSystems product when the InterSystems product starts, write the processing in the SYSTEM^%ZSTART routine. (The %ZSTART routine is created in the %SYS namespace).

Before you write any code in SYSTEM^%ZSTART, make sure that it works properly under all conditions.

If the ^%ZSTART routine is written incorrectly, or if it is written correctly but the command does not return a response or an error occurs during processing, InterSystems products may not be able to start.

Hello,

With my team, we're evaluating the different streams existing in order to find good pratices for our project using InterSystems IRIS. In doing so, we found that there exists different forms of the same stream with the %Stream.FileBinary and %Stream.FileBinaryGzip classes. We think that the %Stream.FileBinaryGzip takes less space to be stored, but is there other diferences between these two classes and what would you recomend to use ? Is it the same thing for %Stream.FileCharacter and %Stream.FileCharacterGzip ?

Thanks for your help,

Hi Developers!

Welcome to the 14th edition of the InterSystems Ideas news!! This time, you can read about the following:

​​​​✓ Hints & Tips for the participants of the 3rd InterSystems Ideas Contest

✓ Brand new Ideas Portal landing page

✓ Recently implemented ideas

I'm scraping my way through some code that's been around for a while, and came across the use of $ZTRAP and (dear GOD) GOTO for trapping and handling errors.

In an effort to "modernize" it and make it, I don't know, less M-ish (sorry old-timers!), I'm replacing it with Try/Catch blocks.

Some questions:

1. Is this a dumb idea?
2. Anything I should look out for?
3. Did I hurt anyone's feelings?

And if the answer to number 3 is Yes, my deepest apologies ... I love you guys! 🤩

Hi Community,

I seek your assistance for below scenario.

Scenario-1: How to add filter or where clause while displaying data with listing fields ( I have not used Custom SQL listing to display this data).

For below table, I have created a Cube Student and I have created listing fields of the columns mentioned in the table. Also I have created the pivot and  I am able to create the same table as shown below.

Now in another pivot, if I want to display all same detail with Student marks greater than 82. How to do that. Basically I want to know how to apply filter when using listing fields in a cube.

Hi Guys,

Not really familiar with how to secure URLs and using SSLs, but we currently looking to change our url from http:/www to https:/www so my understanding is once we get a certificate its a matter of creating a new SSL/TLS configuration and assign the certificate to it, then what how to apply it in out URL, or do we have to do this in IIS?   

Thanks

What causes the ![CDATA[ in a string field?

<QueryParameters><![CDATA[showportalonly=1&leaveunprocessed=0&limit=5000]]></QueryParameters>

Hello community,

I guess this one will be easy to answer, but trial and error took me too long meanwhile, so I thought it might better to ask the experts.

I would like to get rid of %all rights for routine use at our productive environment. The things, that we have to do in routine are:

- Open productions and start / stop components
- Read messages and message logs
- Search and resend messages
- Deploy new Applications
- Edit settings and default settings
- Read database tables

All in all, it is quite equal to everything but System Administration.

I receive request xml object as 

pRequest =

<getURL>
<Url1><![CDATA[https://test/cs/icdfg?&RevisionSelectionMethod=LatestReleased&allowInte…;
</getURL>

I need to send this to a stream

 Set XmlStream = ##class(%Stream.GlobalCharacter).%New()
 
 // how do I send my pRequest into XmlStream ??
 
 Do httpRequest.EntityBody.CopyFrom(XmlStream)

Hi Developers!

This is the second post on the resources for Developers. This part is about Open Exchange

Using Open Exchange to Learn InterSystems

InterSystems Open Exchange is a applications gallery of tools, connectors, and libraries which InterSystems Developers submit to share the experience, approaches and do business. All the applications are either built with InterSystems data platforms or are intended to use for development with InterSystems data platforms.

If you are a beginner developer you can take a look at applications in Technology Example category. All the applications in this category come with open source code repositories, so you are able to run the samples and examples in a docker container with IRIS on your laptop or in the cloud IRIS sandbox. Examples:

I would dearly love to avoid manually creating a SEF or XSD file to get the X12 832 (4010) schema into IRIS, but I have been hard pressed to find either downloadable resources or commercial options. The typical recommendation, edi-dev, seems to just do tooling that will help create SEF files, but no longer sells actual SEF files.

Anybody got any good resources that might have these schema files?

Thanks for any help!

Cordially,

Jonathan

Is there any way to include a CSP page within a CLS?
Example: #Include file.csp 

Context: I work with a legacy that most screens are built using only CLS. I'm trying to change this by separating the frontend layers to be built only with CSP and backend layers using CLS. I improvised a method that injects an iframe to render the CSP in CLS through that iframe, but I'm still not happy. I need to know if there is any way to include this CSP using some specific resource for this.
