My VSCode folder was set up to connect to a namespace, but the namespace was deleted. I tried changing the namespace from the menu but it fails (could not retrieve list of namespaces), but I do get the following error message:

This server does not have specified namespace 'FEAT-1-MY-FIRST-ISSUE'.

You must select one of the following: %SYS, CICD-DEMO, CUSTOMER, HSCUSTOM, HSLIB, HSSYS, PERSONAL, PHONEBOOK, USER.

Check your server details in Settings (gitlab-cicd-dev[FEAT-1-MY-FIRST-ISSUE]).

Hi,

I recently moved to a Mac M2. I was already using VSCode on my intel-based Mac, and used the plug "objectscriptQuality for VSCode". It installs nicely, but it does not seem to do anything, not even an error. I installed the same java version (but ARM based) as on my old machine so that prerequisite is met. Also set the path to java in VSCode.

Any clues/has anyone got this working on a Mac based on Apple silicon M1/M2 chips?

Thanks.

Dear All ,  As per the title, 

I was tasked to upgrade an old legacy system to run on Windows 11. 

I am having a problem with Cache mostly.

I have the version: VERSION 5.0.14 , BUILD 5702 , OBJECTS 5.0.5702.0 I would like to know if there is a way to run it on windows 11 somehow.

I know I am asking for a LOT.  Unfortunately, the provider of the suit is long gone, and I can't keep it on windows XP.  Let me know if there is an alternative way to get it up to date even with the lowest / more recent version. 
Thank you in advance for your time.

Could it possible to create view with external db table with local persistant table and to access it?

please suggest any thoughts on it..

⏯ Understanding the Structure of HL7 FHIR Resources

Hi Team,

I am trying to use the inbuilt class: EnsLib.HL7.Service.FileService to pass through an HL7 ADT message as a part of an HL7 to FHIR transformation. We have a client requirement, where we are receiving an NTE segment as a part of the ADT message. However, the inbuilt schema structure of the  HL7 ADT message does not support an NTE segment out of the box. We are getting an error message stating "Unrecognized segment".

Please advise, how do we bypass this error?

Thanks

Hi developers!

Just want to share an old but always relevant best practice on namespaces changing @Dmitry Maslennikov shared with me (again).

Consider method:

classmethod DoSomethingInSYS() as %Status

{

set sc=$$$OK

set ns=$namespace

zn "%SYS"

// try-catch in case there will be an error

try {

// do something, e.g. config change

}

catch {}

 zn ns    ; returning back to the namespace we came in the routine

return sc

}

And with new $namespace the method could be rewritten as:

classmethod DoSomethingInSYS() as %Status

{

set sc=$$$OK

new $namespace

set $namespace="%SYS"

// do something

return sc

}

So! The difference is that we don't need to change the namespace manually as it will be back automatically once we return the method.

and we don't need try-catch (at least for this purpose) too.

Hello all !!! I have a question: i heard it is possible to write Object Script code for Intersystems in VSCode. How it is possible to connect the InterSystems terminal to VSCode terminal ? I heard there should be a special docker. Currently i am trying to run a simple code which will communicate with the user through the terminal but it throws an error. thank you in advance for the answer !

I'm facing an issue while converting an ORU_R01 HL7 message to XML, specifically with the <pidgrpgrp> kind elements. When I use the getvalueat() method before conversion, the XML includes the <pidgrpgrp> and other <grp> elements, but when I don't use the getvalueat() method, the XML is generated without these <grp>elements.

I've attempted to debug the issue using zwrite on the HL7 message before and after calling getvalueat(). Before calling it, the content appears different, and after calling it, the content shows buildmap=1, etc.Please see the xml generated in 2 cases.

[Background]

InterSystems IRIS family has a nice utility ^SystemPerformance (as known as ^pButtons in Caché and Ensemble) which outputs the database performance information into a readable HTML file. When you run ^SystemPerformance on IRIS for Windows, a HTML file is created where both our own performance log mgstat and Windows performance log are included.

Hello all,

If we have a global structured something like this:-

1. ^test(1)="Dave^Engineer"
2. ^test(2)="Bethan^Manager"
3. ^test(2,"transferred")="2024-01-04"
4. ^test(3)="James^Administrator"
5. ^test(4)="Sophia^Marketing Executive"
6. ^test(4,"transferred")="2023-11-20"

It is fairly straightforward to map, and from a reading perspective everything works fine, but when inserting/saving the "transferred" node is created even if the 'transferred' field is not set. Is there a way to populate the node only if the field mapped to it is set?

Thanks

Is it possible to use a variable instead the actual class name when calling a class method?

Ex.

s var = "MyPackage.MyClass"

d ##class(var).Main()

Can someone please tell me like how we can retrieve SuperSessionID in classMethod ??

(for SessionID i now the syntax [Set SessionID = ""_$get($$$JobSessionId)]  but for SuperSessionID i don't know.)

Now i want to use SuperSessionID instead of SessionID,  outside the package. 

Also one confirmation that "SessionID keeps same in entire message flow or it varies ?? i heard that SessionID may change in diff instances."

please explain me which ID keep unique (SessionID or SuperSessionID)  ??

I want to filter the message base upon that only...

Hi,

I am using embeded python to utilize some pythonic library but i got a problem on my hand.
One of the python function i am using return multiple values

in python you would do something like that :

val1, val2, val3, = function(params)

In COS I got something like that :

lib = ##class(%SYS.Python).Import("lib")
val1 = lib.function(params)

And I don't know how to get the second and third values.
Is there a way to get them?

Have successfully installed the Intersystems ObjectScript Extension Pack (version last updated 2024-03-26) in VS Code version 1.88 and when creating a new Class (in a New File of type ObjectScript-class) I am presented only with the following snippets:

When watching the Intersystems training videos (I am fairly new to IS) I notice there are far more options provided. For example from the video "Creating a Custom HL7 V2 Search Table" the following snippets are presented:

Is there an additional extension I am missing or possibly a configuration setting?

If you have system tables implementing the "VERSIONPROPERTY" functionality, you may encounter error 5800. This article explains how this error occurs and provides solutions to resolve the issue.

When version checking is implemented, the property specified by VERSIONPROPERTY is automatically incremented each time an instance of the class is updated (either by objects or SQL).

For example:

ClassMethod RunVersionChange() As %Status
{
    Set sample = ##class(dado.TblSample).%OpenId("42")
    Write !,"VERSIONPROPERTY value: "_ sample.VersionCheck
    
    Do sample.

Hi Developers!

With InterSystems IRIS Cloud SQL recently becoming Generally Available, some of you may have had a chance to try it out. Or maybe you used it for your contest entry or during the EAP period. We're curious to learn what YOU think of it. So, have you already tried the new service InterSystems IRIS Cloud SQL? 

We have launched a new Ideas Portal category dedicated to this database-as-a-service (DBaaS) where we're looking for your ideas on how we can improve InterSystems IRIS Cloud SQL. 

Or share your experience with the service in the comments to this post. 

Hello,

I have my server setup a resource server.  When a user calls our API they submit a bearer token as authorization and in our dispatch class AccessCheck() we validate the JWT using ##class(%SYS.OAuth2.Validation).ValidateJWT(). 

If I include a scope to check in that method I get the error Scope check may only be done on requesting client and I'm not sure what this means. The method works without include the scope and will let me know if I have an unsigned token or an expired token.  

I noticed that the implementation of the method calls Set token=##class(OAuth2.AccessToken).

Hi community,

I'm calling to a API that it is retrieving the content of a file as Content of response. I'm catching the binary but I need to convert this Stream to a Base64 string.

I'm trying to convert a %Stream.GlobaBinary to a Base64 string using the following code, but it doesn't work.

do stream1.Rewind()
set response = ""
while 'stream1.AtEnd {
    set temp=stream.Read(4000)
    set temp=$systemEncryption.

I'm currently making some changes to legacy code and I've noticed that it uses "i $i("  all over the place. Testing in terminal seems like this does the same thing as "do $i()". Is there a difference between these two (and if not is there some interesting history around this)?

Hi, 

I'm trying to send alerts in Ens.Alert process to a teams channel. 

I have already created a production that transforms the incoming alerts and send to a set of user's email but I also wanted to sent it to the teams channel

Any thoughts around this?
