Hi developers!

I'm testing vibecoding with ObjectScript and my silicon friend created a code-block that got me thinking "what's wrong"?

Here is the piece of code:

for i=0:1:(json.%Size()-1) {

set p = json.%Get(i)

if (p="value1")!(p="value2") {

quit1
}

AI wanted to quit from a method with a return value. Good intention, but bad use of the command.

And ObjectScript compiler compiles this code with no error(?) (syntax linter in VSCode says it's a syntax, kudos @Brett Saviano ).

But in action, it produces <COMMAND>, of course.

Wanted to share with you as this is a good case where return comma

Hi Developers!

Currently I have 2000+ lines in a class, and I think it's a lot already? What are the best practices? 

if 10K lines OK? How do you cope with it? Please share?

Greetings,

As a long time Cache developer is there a way to get a copy of the Cache Studio that supports IRIS 2024.3? I do not have a WRC account? I need Studio just to experiment, not to build commercial software.

Thank you,

Using the InterSystems Bulk FHIR Coordinator to Extract Clinical Data

We use local containers  a lot for evaluation and development with Health Connect and other IRIS based applications.

When evaluating Podman Desktop on Windows as replacement for Docker Desktop, we are experiencing an issue with the durable %SYS:

The only way it works is when we use a named volume which then is located inside the WSL-Podman-Machine under /var/lib/containers/storage/volumes/... 
With Docker Desktop we could simply bind-mount a folder inside our workspace, and could browse the folders inside the durable %SYS, this does not work with podman, IRIS won't start because of security

When I build docker containers my build log usually looks like this:

Hello Team,

I am currently working with the CD Ruby machine, which is connected through DIGI. When I click on the “Test Link” option on the instrument, I can see the following behavior in Wireshark logs:

Ensemble sends an ACK (06) after receiving ENQ (05), followed by EOT (04) (somewhat like above photo). However, when another ENQ is received, Ensemble does not send an ACK in response. As a result, the instrument displays a failure message.

Also attaching the Ensemble settings:

I am using a TCP service with an inbound adapter configured for the ASTM protocol.

In the previous article, we examined how we can use the %CSP.Request and %CSP.Response classes to test a REST API without having the API fully set up and accessible across a network with an authentication mechanism. In this article, we will build on that foundation to perform some simple unit testing of one of our REST API methods.

The unit testing framework requires a couple of setup steps before we can use it.First, we have to ensure that the unit testing portion of the management portal is enabled so we can review the results of our tests.

We are attempting to "Repoint" old class data to new class data to save disk space and data redundancy across multiple tables. This works to a point.  In essence the two classes are sharing the same data / Index / stream globals.  But if an ID in the Old_Class is opened, a property is modified, and saved the property that is in the New_Class (but not in the Old_Class) is NULLed / blanked.

Simplified explanation of data and what’s occurring.

Intersystems IRIS Productions provide a powerful framework for connecting disparate systems across various protocols and message formats in a reliable, observable, and scalable manner. intersystems_pyprod, short for InterSystems Python Productions, is a Python library that enables developers to build these interoperability components entirely in Python.Designed for flexibility, it supports a hybrid approach: you can seamlessly mix new Python-based components with existing ObjectScript-based ones, leveraging your established IRIS infrastructure.

Welcome to the finale of our journey in building MAIS.

• In Part 1, we constructed the agnostic "Brain" using LiteLLM and IRIS.
• In Part 2, we designed the "Persona", mastering Dynamic Prompt Engineering and the ReAct theory.

Now, the stage is set. Our agents are ready, defined, and eager to work. However, they remain frozen in time. They require a mechanism to drive the conversation, execute their requested tools, and pass the baton to one another.

Hi,

I'm having a problem with %JSON.Adaptor and "list of" binding.

For exemple, this class with a property "oazisCode As list of %String".

Class User.ADGroup Extends (%Persistent, %JSON.Adaptor)

{
/// Code interne
Property code As %String;

/// Libellé
Property text As %String(MAXLEN = "");

Property oazisCode As list Of %String;

}

The first time call to %JSONImport works properly

s r = ##class(User.ADGroup).%New()
s json = {"code": "123", "text":"456", "oazisCode": ["1","2"]}
d r.%JSONImport(json)
w r.oazisCode.Size
2

If I call %JSONIMport a second time with another json , the

I was having trouble with some dimension based calculated members defined in Analyzer.  They would work and then not work.   At one point I had two identical calculated measures, same code, same specification and one would work and one would not.  I was trying to set them up in "shared storage", that checkbox in the calculated member dialog that should allow the measures to be used across multiple pivots. 

My hypothesis to the inconsistent behavior of the calculated members was that their definitions were somehow being mangled behind the scenes when the Analyzer logged the "shared code" to

Hi communauty

I've two columns in my table and the type must be interval of integer values for example : age must be interval between [2 and 6] years and wigth between [10 and 30 ] Kg , how can i define them when creating my table?

thank's

Hi all,

I've created a method to calculate the age of a person, or the age of a process, contract or other stuff as you want.

/// Calculate the age from date of birth and other date (by default shoud be today)./// <b>dateOfBird</b> Date of birth in cache format.ie./// <b>day</b> Date to calculate to.

Hello All,

No matter what I try in Business Process Logic (BPL), I am unable to calculate the patient's age in days or years.

Has anyone ever built logic in a Business Process (BPL) to calculate a person's age in days?

Thank you!

Why do these clauses affect SQL performance?

select ID from some_table where row_status in ('I','U') order by ID limit 5 - makes the query infinite select top 10 ID from some_table where row_status in ('I','U') order by ID - the same select ID from some_table where row_status in ('I','U') order by ID - is fast

Actually there are no rows in the table having row_status 'I' or 'U'.

I asked Gemini and it recommended me rewrite the query as

select ID from table where row_status in ('I','U') order by ID || '' limit 5,

and this helped, but I have never encountered a similar problem with any other

I want to implement isc-rest in my new project iris-budget/module.xml at master · oliverwilms/iris-budget

I get this error:

In this article, I aim to demonstrate a couple of methods for easily adding validation to REST APIs on InterSystems IRIS Data Platform. I believe a specification-first approach is an excellent idea for API development. IRIS already has features for generating an implementation stub from a specification and publishing that specification for external developers (use it with iris-web-swagger-ui for the best results). The remaining important thing not yet implemented in the platform is the request validator. Let's fix it!

Recent versions of IRIS come with Lite Terminal available from VSCode. It's a websocket server, with JSON messaging. Here's how to connect to it from Python:

import websocket
import argparse
import requests
import json


defterminal(host, port, namespace, username, password, command, secure):
    session = requests.Session()
    r = session.get(f"http{"s"if secure else""}://{host}:{port}/api/atelier/", auth=(username, password))
    cookies = session.cookies.get_dict()
    ws = websocket.WebSocket()
    ws.connect(f"ws{"s"if secure else""}://{host}:{port}/api/atelier/v8/%25SYS/t

We use the Caché JDBC Gateway to Oracle and SQL servers to directly invoke their stored procedures from Ensemble. Getting quick, inline data results back are typically handled within the Functions.Library class as a function to wrap the query and format the return appropriately.

But what about more elaborate stored procedures made for posting data without log-jamming a Router?  The operations to construct those data pipelines can get tedious, especially when changes are needed.  What follows is a code generator to make a new Ensemble Message class from a SQL Stored Procedure that is compatible
