Over time, while I was working with Interoperability on the IRIS Data Platform, I developed rules for organizing a project code into packages and classes. That is what is called a Naming Convention, usually. In this topic, I want to organize and share these rules. I hope it can be helpful for somebody.

Disclaimer: This guide is a good fit for Interoperability projects. When you have integrations, data flows, when you use IRIS for ETL processes, etc. Overall, when your code is combined with Productions. If you are using the IRIS Data Platform just as a backend, for example, the project str

The company I'm working for is in the process of starting to use the %UnitTest framework, and we are experiencing some errors in the code with some existing logic.  Long story short, it looks like the best way to handle the issue would be to recognize we're executing the job as a part of a unit test.  Is there any sort of variable or property that can be checked to confirm the process is indeed executing a unit test?  A lot of our legacy methods NEW virtually all variables at the top of the method so se

Hi All,

First I want give a Shout Out to @Theo Stolker  and @Rupert.Young. Because they helped me with the solution.

 When you're using the EnsLib.SQL.Snapshot as a Property in the Response Message to return Snapshot data (,e.g.: from Business Operation to Business Process,) the Snapshot data won't be cleaned with the Purge messages task/service.

The data will be stuck in the global: ^Ens.AppData. You can find it with this query in System>Globals:  ^Ens.AppData("EnsLib.SQL.Snapshot",

Hi everyone,

I'm dealing with a situation where LOAD DATA operations — especially large batches with data inconsistencies — are consuming a lot of disk space. I've noticed that the same error messages are being repeatedly logged in the %SQL_Diag.Result and %SQL_Diag.Message tables, which is significantly increasing the size of the database.

One idea was to move these diagnostic tables to a separate database with a configured size limit, but before going down that path, I'd like to ask:

Is there a simpler or more efficient way to handle this?
For example:

• Can we limit the number of repeate

Hello,
I am currently facing the task of retrieving or sending HL7 messages from a web API. Since we only send HL7 messages via internal sockets, web APIs are relatively new to me.
The following is my plan for the new interface:
I have created a new custom business service that periodically sends requests to a business process. In this business process, the HTTP request (HTTP.GenericMessage) is then created from scratch. The special feature is the "Authorisation" header field, where a signature is inserted, which consists of a base64-encoded hash value. The request is then sent to the API via a b

Environment:
    Targeted *.inc file (with hundreds of defined macros) is in use throughout the application and included into every class declaration.
    Statement "set a = $$$TestIf(3)" is included into a classmethod with no other code in. Expected output 5
Same macro options in *.inc:
    #define TestIf(%arr)    if %arr>0 QUIT 5
    #define TestIf(%arr)    if (%arr>0) {QUIT 5}
Issue:
    failure to compile class with the same error on all tried definition options as:

HTTP and HTTPS with REST API

Hello

The HTTP protocol allows you to obtain resources, such as HTML documents. It is the basis of any data exchange on the Web and a client-server protocol, meaning that requests are initiated by the recipient, usually a Web browser.

REST APIs take advantage of this protocol to exchange messages between client and server. This makes REST APIs fast, lightweight, and flexible. REST APIs use the HTTP verbs GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, and others to indicate the actions they want to perform.

When we make a call to a RESt API, what actually happens is an HTTP call. The API receives this call and according to the requested verb and path, the API performs the desired action. In the case of the Iris implementation we can see this clearly in the URLMap definition area:

Introduction

In InterSystems IRIS 2024.3 and subsequent IRIS versions, the AutoML component is now delivered as a separate Python package that is installed after installation. Unfortunately, some recent versions of Python packages that AutoML relies on have introduced incompatibilities, and can cause failures when training models (TRAIN MODEL statement). If you see an error mentioning "TypeError" and the keyword argument "fit_params" or "sklearn_tags", read on for a quick fix.

Root Cause

• scikit-learn updated to version 1.6.0, deprecating fit_params.
• scikeras is no longer updating the "

Hi, 

We very much appreciate the interest in the Developer Community for IRIS Vector Search and hope our technology has helped many of you build innovative applications or advanced your R&D efforts. With a dedicated index, integrated embeddings generation, and deep integration with our SQL engine now available in InterSystems IRIS, we're looking at the next frontier, and would love to hear your feedback on the technology to prioritize our investments.

If you used Vector Search already and could spare 10 minutes of your busy schedule, here's a brief survey on your use of the technology so far

InterSystems IRIS Community Edition HAOS Add-On

Run InterSystems IRIS inside of Home Assistant, as an add-on.  Before you dismiss this article possibly under the guise that this is just a gimmick, Id like you to step back and take a look at how easy it is to launch IRIS based applications using this platform.  If you look at Open Exchange, you will see dozens of dozens of applications worthy of launching while they are basically hung out to dry as gitware, and launchable if you want to get into a laptop battle with containerd or Docker.  With a simple git repo, and a specification, you can now build your app on IRIS, and make it launchable through a marketplace with limited hassle to your end users.  Run it along side Ollama and the LLM/LAM implementations, expose anything in IRIS as a sensor or expose an endpoint for interaction in your IRIS app to interact with anything you've connected to HAOS.  Wanna restart an IRIS production with a flick of a physical switch or Assisted AI? You can do it with this add-on, or your own, right alongside the home automation hackers.

The first part of this article provides all the background information. It also includes links to the DATATYPE_SAMPLE database, which you can use to follow along with the examples.

In that section, we explored an error type ("Access Failure") that is easy to detect, as it immediately triggers a clear error message when attempting to read the data via the database driver.

The errors discussed in this section are more subtle and harder to detect. I’ve referred to them as “Silent Corruption” and “Undetected Mutation”

Let’s start with “Silent Corruption”:

What is TLS?

TLS, the successor to SSL, stands for Transport Layer Security and provides security (i.e. encryption and authentication) over a TCP/IP connection. If you have ever noticed the "s" on "https" URLs, you have recognized an HTTP connection "secured" by SSL/TLS. In the past, only login/authorization pages on the web would use TLS, but in today's hostile internet environment, best practice indicates that we should secure all connections with TLS.

Why use TLS?

So, why would you implement TLS for HL7 connections? As data breaches, ransomware, and vulnerabilities continue to rise, ever
