Hello to all the Cache Experts out there and Happy Friday!

The company I work for uses Cache 2017.1.3 and we have been seeing intermittent errors in the Cache Error Trap when an SQL query runs.   The error message looks like the error is occurring within the cached query routine that Cache auto-generates.  Unfortunately, when I pulled up the routine in the SMP System Explorer, I only found an obj version, so was unable to look at any code.

Here is the error:    Note:  the .cls375 part will be different based on the different SQL queries that run, since that part of the cached query routine n

This will be a short article about Python dunder methods, also known as magic methods.

What are Dunder Methods?

Dunder methods are special methods in Python that start and end with double underscores (__). They allow you to define the behavior of your objects for built-in operations, such as addition, subtraction, string representation, and more.

Some common dunder methods include:

• __init__(self, ...): Called when an object is created.
  • Like our %OnNew method in ObjectScript.
• __str__(self): Called by the str() built-in function and print to represent the object as a string.
• __repr__(self):

Hi Guys,

I'm running : IRIS for UNIX (Ubuntu Server LTS for x86-64 Containers) 2024.3 (Build 217U), and I have https web request call to connect and get data from external server ( https://myserver.com/api/gap/...etc) but I'm getting this error: "fetch failed unable to verify the first certificate".

I'm guessing that could be an issue with the certificate and our system admin mentioned that shouldn't be any issues with the certificate because I actually can remotely access IRIS management portal from my machine using https protocol, so I'm looking for a second opinion or maybe a direction to

Hi all,

I’m working on a data transformation in IRIS where I need to calculate the difference in hours between two timestamps stored as %TimeStamp.

Example:

Set startTime = "2024-07-12 08:30:00"
Set endTime = "2024-07-12 15:15:00"

I’d like to calculate the number of hours (with decimals, like 6.75) between them. What's the recommended way to do this in ObjectScript? I’ve seen examples using $ZDATETIME, but I’m not sure if that’s the cleanest approach.

Any suggestions or best practices would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Jhonn Marie

Challenge 1 - Simple but no simpler

A developer aspires to conceive an elegant solution to requirements.
Pattern matches ( like regular expressions ) can be solved for in many ways. Which one is the better code solution?
Can an AI postulate an elegant pattern match solution for a range of simple-to-complex data samples?

Consider the three string values:

• "AA"
• "BB"
• "CC"

The expression: "2 Alphabetic characters" matches all these values and othe

⏯️ Healthcare AI Agent Platform

An AI Agent Platform specifically built for the healthcare industry that requires no technical background to utilize. By simply defining a goal or initiative, a swarm of AI agents will conduct operations to achieve the stated end goal and measure their own efficacy along the way to continuously improve. Healthcare organizations today are facing a myriad of challenges that impact financial and clinical performance. These problems are well known, and there is a general consensus on how many of them can be alleviated with AI. However, healthcare organizations face unique challenges in implementing AI:

• HIPAA/Regulatory compliance - Data quality & accessibility - Embedding AI into current clinical workflows, i.e. integrating AI in such a way that it does not require clinicians to re-orient their processes. It should complement existing workflows, not disrupt them.
• Implementation cost/high technical barrier of entry – staff needed to build and maintain AI processes can become expensive
• Ambiguous ROI calculation – careful considerations must be made to properly measure and understand the efficacy of AI integrations. InterSystems is uniquely positioned to address these challenges, enabling healthcare organizations to implement AI with minimal burden.

You can check the free disk space at any time using the system utility class: SYS.Database and query: FreeSpace.

Here's how to try it in the IRIS terminal (go to the %SYS namespace and then run it):

zn"%SYS"set stmt=##class(%SQL.Statement).%New()
set st=stmt.%PrepareClassQuery("SYS.Database","FreeSpace")
set rset=stmt.%Execute()
do rset.%Display()

The output result example is as follows:

*In the command execution example, all databases are located on the same disk, so the free disk space (DiskFreeSpace) returns the same value.

System Default Settings is a great mechanism, and we use some custom code to deploy it in our pipeline after environment specific changes have been applied to the content. However, we are trying our best to reduce the amount of custom code we use in our system that does not relate directly to the business. For CI/CD, this means we are trying to leverage IPM for the heavy lifting.

Is there a method for handling System Default Settings in IPM that I am just overlooking? If not, what would be a good approach that would not invol

Are you curious about how to run Python scripts directly in your InterSystems IRIS or Caché terminal? 🤔 Good news it's easy! 😆 IRIS supports Embedded Python, allowing you to use Python interactively within its terminal environment. 

How to access the Python Shell?

To launch the Python shell from the IRIS terminal, simply run the following command:

do##class(%SYS.Python).Shell()

This opens an interactive Python shell inside the IRIS terminal. From here, you can write and run Python code just as you would in a normal Python environment.

Exiting the Shell:

>>> quit()

This will exit the Py

Hello Community
I was running code in the terminal and attempted to interrupt its execution. During that process, I encountered an application error with a log entry dated 01/06/1841, the date seems unusual.

We have messages that are in a queued state for various reasons and when we do a manual shutdown of the instance, they are moved to a Suspended state. I thought I saw in the documentation somewhere a setting to make sure these messages stay in a queued state and not suspend them. Can someone confirm and point me in the correct location for that documentation, as I am trying to ensure that if we do have to manually shutdown a instance, someone doesn't have to remember to go back in and check for suspended messages and resubmit them?

Thanks

Good morning everyone,
In the facility we're working in, we have two separate installations for testing and production. In the test environment, we have production processes running properly, and we need to replicate production processes and settings in the production environment. Until now, when we move from a test environment to a production environment, we currently export the test classes, import them into production, and manually configure the production environment by connecting Services, Processes, and Operations and configuring the settings. We tried exporting the production environment

Modules what a topic! We don't have this notion in ObjectScript, but it's a fundamental concept in Python. Let's discover it together.

What is a Module?

I see modules as an intermediate layer between classes and packages. Let see it by example.

A bad example :

# MyClass.py
class MyClass:
    def my_method(self):
        print("Hello from MyClass!")

When you try to use this class in another script, you would do:

# class_usage.py
from MyClass import MyClass # weird, right?

my_instance = MyClass()
my_instance.my_method()

Why this is a bad example?

First because file names should be in snake_c

Hi,

I tried to create a client for Google Cloud Storage using a private endpoint.

like this:

S client=##class(%Net.Cloud.Storage.Client).%New()

S sc=client.CreateClient("",2,credentialsFile,"",.out,privateEndpoint)

But privateEndpoint seems not to be used when trying to send blob from a file:

D sc.UploadBlobFromFile(bucketname,blobname,filename)

We can see at the firewall that the client still tries to use the public endpoint for GCS.  

Even if the private endpoint is definitely reachable.

When we allow the public endpoint in the firewall then it is working as expected.
