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.

Not sure there are many that connect to MS SQL to execute queries, stored procedures, etc, but our Healthsystem has many different MS SQL based databases we use within the Interoperability environment for various reasons.

With the push to moving from on-prem to the Cloud we ran into some difficulties with our SQL Gateway connections and knowing how to config them to use Microsoft Entra for Active Directory Authentication.

SharePoint/ SPO API with intersystems

As part of the Open Exchange competition Salford Royal (Dean White and Mark O'Reilly) developed a REST API for sharepoint as a template that works but can also be a starting point to your own Rest Applications

Prerequisites

This is using the v1 REST sharepoint API you need a tennant id, client id, client secret and tennant name

Setup

Configure an OAuth server

The code in the middle is the tennant ID

In our previous article, we have explored the most common Kubernetes components:

  • We started with the pods and the services we needed to communicate with each other.
  • Then, we examined the Ingress component used to Route traffic into the cluster.
  • We also skimmed through an external configuration using ConfigMaps and Secrets.
  • Afterward, we analyzed Data persistence with the help of Volumes.
  • Finally, we took a quick look at pod blueprints with such replicating mechanisms as Deployments and StatefulSets (the latter is employed specifically for such stateful applications as databases).

In this article, we will explore Kubernetes architecture and configuration.

InterSystems FAQ rubric

There is no need to recompile the routines after the version upgrade, but since the version update overwrites %SYS, user-created INT and OBJ format routines (*.INT,*.OBJ) in %SYS will be deleted. Therefore, you need to be careful.

MAC, INT and OBJ routines with the following names are not deleted.

%Z*.INT, %z*.INT, Z*.INT,z*.INT
%Z*.OBJ, %z*.OBJ, Z*.OBJ,z*.OBJ

Please note that classes/CSPs need to be compiled after upgrading.

  • The idea of this package is to compare the performance of columnar storage inside IRIS without wrapping it to some foreign platform that is not my world
  • In addition, I do not want to measure network performance between 2 containers, but inside a closed IRIS environment that I have fully under my control
  • Even the use of SMP or some other browser-based presentation has some influence that I want to avoid.

Presenter: Louise Parberry
Task: Reduce the need for skilled developers to define and normalize data from outside sources
Approach: Use the Ensemble Record Mapper and other tools to automatically define comma-delineated and fixed-width data structures

If you need skilled software developers to define and normalize data coming from business partners or customers, you probably have a backlog of unsatisfied requests. The record mapper and other tools allow analysts to define comma delimited and fixed width data structures without needing a developer and this session explains how this can be incorporated into an application to create an efficient and effective way to clear that backlog.

Content related to this session, including slides, video and additional learning content can be found here.

HL7 -> SDA -> FHIR -> Personal Growth

I have a large tree outside my window. Here in Phoenix, Arizona, USA it's still warm and sunny so our plants are still covered in lush foliage despite so many other places in the full throws of Autumn. My desk is oriented such that I can look out at the tree throughout the day.

The InterSystems IRIS data platform underlies all InterSystems applications, as well as thousands of customer and partner applications across Healthcare, Financial Services, Supply Chain, and other ecosystems. It is a converged platform, providing transactional-analytical data management, integrated interoperability, and data integration, as well as integrated analytics and AI. It supports the InterSystems Smart Data Fabric approach to managing diverse and distributed data.

FHIR SQL Builder: step by step

The FHIR standard establishes a powerful but flexible data model that can smoothly adapt to the complexities of operational healthcare data management. This flexibility comes at the cost of a data model with many tables and relationships, even for simple data such as the patient's record of telephone numbers, addresses, and emails. It would easily require querying 4 different tables. However, FHIR SQL Builder eliminates this problem, allowing you to create visual projections (mappings) in web wizards.

Hi, Community!

In the previous article, we introduced the Streamlit web framework, a powerful tool that enables data scientists and machine learning engineers to build interactive web applications with minimal effort. First, we explored how to install Streamlit and run a basic Streamlit app. Then, we incorporated some of Streamlit's basic commands, e.g., adding titles, headers, markdown, and displaying such multimedia as images, audio, and videos.

Later, we covered Streamlit widgets, which allow users to interact with the app through buttons, sliders, checkboxes, and more. Additionally, we examined how to display progress bars and status messages and organize the app with sidebars and containers. We also highlighted data visualization, using charts and Matplotlib figures to present data interactively.

In this article, we will cover the following topics:

Why to use it

This app offers an easy interface to analyze storage:

  • Filter by database (namespace), global name, used size, or allocated size;
  • View a sum of the used and allocated sizes for the filters applied;
  • Export the table to JSON, CSV, or XML.

How to use it

Follow the instructions on the README file from the GitHub repository, and configure the settings to connect to your instance.

native-api-py-demo

native-api-py-demo

This is a demo of IRIS Native API for Python, which uses Python to call the Object Script method and flow the message in production. Python obtains the message after flow and the message in global, and uses ZPM Package deployment.

Firstly, we need to install the Native API package

Enter on the command line

pip install intersystems_irispython-3.2.0-py3-none-any.whl

We have a rule to disable a user account if they have not logged in for a certain number of days. IRIS Audit database logs many events such as login failures for example. It can be configured to log successful logins as well. We have IRIS clusters with many IRIS instances. I like to run queries against audit data from ALL IRIS instances and identify user accounts which have not logged into ANY IRIS instance.

Character-Slice Index

A recent question from @Vivian Lee reminded me of a rather ancient example.
It was the time when DeepSee's first version was released.
We got Bitmap Index.
And we got BitSlice Index: mapping a numeric value by its binary parts.
So my idea: Why not indexing strings by their characters?
The result of this idea was presented first in June 2008.
IKnow wasn't publicly available at that time.
