As we keep updating our software, we often realize that we require more and more modern solutions. So far, only one major piece of our software relies on reading barcodes in documents and images. Since Cache did not have a means of reading barcodes in the past, we have always achieved our goals by using a Visual Basic 6 application. However, it is no longer an ideal solution because it is currently complicated to maintain it. IRIS also lacks this capability, but it has recently got an option that makes up for it: embedded Python!
Speeding Up Antibiotic Resistance Detection with InterSystems IRIS
Antibiotic resistance is a critical health challenge, requiring rapid detection to inform effective treatments. We worked on developing a solution that leverages InterSystems IRIS vector database technology that would quickly identify resistance genes in DNA.
Summary: if you concatenate filenames into /STDOUT and /STDERR in a $zf(-100) call, quote them.
I hit an <ILLEGAL VALUE> error from the following that initially stumped me. This was part of a unit test that worked perfectly fine on Windows, but when CI ran on Docker it failed:
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.
We hope you know that when you have an interesting idea about InterSystems products or services, you should publish it on the Ideas Portal. And those Developer Community members who implement the proposed ideas are added to the "Hall of Fame". Want to get accepted to the InterSystems Ideas Hall of Fame? Read on to learn how you can get on the list.
IAM - InterSystems API Manager is a great tool for monitoring your traffic. If you are trying to use it in your Kubernetes cluster you may have tried doing a deployment similar to this one:
To synchronize other files required for your application (CSP files, images, documents, etc.) between the two servers that make up the mirror set follow one of the approaches:
Place those files on a shared disk by introducing a NAS or similar device
Or use file sync software to synchronize files between two servers.
I have recently been deploying an IRIS for Health image on a Docker with a preconfigured Webgateway image and I have come across the problem of the SSL configurations that allow us to connect to the IRIS instance using HTTPS and going through our Webgateway.
Until now I had always deployed IRIS for Health with a Community license, which still has the Private Web Server installed, so I only needed to configure the Webgateway connection with the deployed IRIS instance:
If you like Java and have a thriving Java ecosystem at work into which you need to incorporate IRIS, it's not a problem. Java External Language Gateway will do it seamlessly, almost. This gateway serves as a bridge between Java and Object Script in IRIS. You can create objects of Java classes in IRIS and call their methods. You just need a jar file to do this.
The InterSystems IRIS for Health v2024.3 is already availableas a Developer Preview for some time, and I wanted to highlight new support related to FHIR Search that was introduced.
I want to share with you the lastest app that I have uploaded to the Open Exchange "IrisGoogleChat".
IrisGoogleChat is a utility for InterSystems IRIS that allows seamless message integration with Google Chat using Cache ObjectScript. This application provides a set of tools to configure Google Chat Channels, create messages powered by moods generated with AI and send them to a Google Chat Channel.
By default, the order of columns in a table is determined automatically by the system. To change the order, explicitly set the order for each property using the property keyword SqlColumnNumber when defining the class.
🌍 Inclusion & Innovation in Education 🌍 Our project reimagines learning for all students, with a focus on accessibility and interactive experiences. Built with the goal of making education engaging and inclusive, the tool is designed to support students of all abilities in learning complex material in an intuitive way.
💡 What It Does This educational app transforms lesson presentations into interactive study sessions:
Auditing is a critical capability ensuring the security of your server, and for quite a while ago we have included the ability to audit SQL statements run on the server.
With v2024.3 out already we're providing finer-grained options for defining these events to audit.
The rise of Big Data projects, real-time self-service analytics, online query services, and social networks, among others, have enabled scenarios for massive and high-performance data queries. In response to this challenge, MPP (massively parallel processing database) technology was created, and it quickly established itself. Among the open-source MPP options, Presto (https://prestodb.io/) is the best-known option. It originated in Facebook and was utilized for data analytics, but later became open-sourced.
