Hi,

I recently needed to setup an SSL/TLS configuration in IRIS that supported mutual authentication (where the server IRIS is establish a connection to is verified, and, where IRIS is in turn verified by the remote host).  After a bit of research and getting it done, I thought it worthwhile to just go over the process I went through in order to potential help others, and save you some time .

I had in hand, Certificate and Private key for my IRIS instance, that was initiating the connection, and needed to ensure that this was setup correctly.

I'm running reviews on Open Exchange since April 2021.
I have seen excellent packages, good ones, and some that made me feel just lost.
And I started to recognize contributors also by their style and organization of the submitted packages.

Hi folks!

Is there any templating engine for ObjectScript similar to Jinja?
Or is there any way to use csp's built-in tools to do this?

Ideally, I want to input the template and data into the function and get the ready to use html in the output.

Hi,

InterSystems learning section is down since yesterday

When it will be up and running OR is there any alternate available?

Thanks

Hello, are there any alternative choices for creating forms with a different tool and then integrating them with Intersystems? I want to use Angular to construct forms and integrate the code with Intersystems. Is there anyone out there who might have an idea?

Pouring The Coffee: Creating and scheduling a task

Don't you wish a fresh, hot cup of coffee could be waiting for you right when you get into the office? Let's automate that!

Cache and IRIS come with a built-in Task Manager, which should have a familiar feel to those used to using the Windows task scheduler or using cron on Linux. Your user account will need access to the %Admin_Task resource to use it, and you can access it in the management portal under System Operation -> Task Manager. When first installed, there are roughly 20 types of task that you can schedule.

The Learning platform is not working today for me.
I'm having the following error:
An error occurred while processing your request.

Reference #30.ed7b0660.1637582264.40212533

Running HealthConnect 2021.1 on RedHat Linux 8.4.

I've configured IRIS/HealthConnect with an external web server to support TLS encryption. It's installed on the same server as IRIS, but is a different instance and version of Apache httpd. That all works as expected.

I would also like to keep the "private" web server available, but I'm having an issue with using the fully-qualified domain name in the URL vs. just the hostname itself.

If I use http://servername:52773/csp/sys/UtilHome.csp to log on, all is well.

If I use http://servername.domain.name.tld:52773/csp/sys/UtilHome.

Could anyone help me?
I'm a beginner with this technology

November 19, 2021 - Advisory: Apache Web Server provided with InterSystems kits – Vulnerability reports

InterSystems kits include an Apache web server, which provides a convenient way for customers to interact with the Caché/IRIS Management Portal without needing to install an external web server; however, this web server should never be used for production instances, and customers must install a web server that fits their specific needs and security/risk requirements.

Recent tests have noted some security issues with the currently included Apache web server.

Hi,

I am getting Failed to fetch error while calling FHIR accelerator service - API Development service

Thanks

I often get this message when trying to attach to the routine second time. The only way I was able to fix this is by restarting the Cache server.

Then I can do debugging once, but second time, the error pops up again. Very annoying. Is there a way to fix that without restarting the server ?

Thank you

I'm attempting to use the .NET Entity Framework provider that is provided by InterSystems (see: https://docs.intersystems.com/latest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=GBMP_eframe).  In our environment, the "Support Delimited Identifiers" option is turned off and we are not allowed to turn it on without significant testing effort.  When this setting is off, the SQL that is generated by the Entity Framework provider is not considered valid and therefore the provider doesn't work (it DOES work, however, when this setting is turned ON).

Do you know of any way to work around this issue?

I want to switch between different DSNs in business operations to query different servers, but the DO ..Adapter.DSNSet("DSNName") code will report a 15-second connection timeout error when switching DSNs. What should I do?

Hey Community, 

New video is already waiting on InterSystems Developers YouTube: 

⏯ Nora, A Virtual Assistant for Clinicians: Innovation with Microsoft Teams & Northwell Health 

See the latest news from Learning Services, including:

• New custom paths for Implementation Partners
• Learning paths in system administration, healthcare analytics, and VS Code development
• Documentation feedback options

Intersystems recently announced a partnership with unqork. I would like to know if someone already used this tool, or another tool, and how was the experience. Is there within the intersystems ecosystem (partners) any low-code tool that generates COS? Tks

A permanent job opportunity has arisen for a Caché/Ensemble /Iris developer with at least 2 years experience. My client is a specialist resource provisioner of developers for high profile clients in the finance,  healthcare, retail, distribution and credit business that are mainly based in central London. My client is looking for a highly-motivated individual who thrives in an environment where problems are open-ended.

At the recent virtual conference I saw the demonstration on being able to run Python within ObjectScript and run ObjectScript within Python thanks to a feature called Language Bridge.  Is this available now? If so, am I able to install it?  I am currently running HealthShare 2020.1.  I have a little bit of experience using Irisnative with Python but was intrigued with the more seamless-looking features offered by the Language Bridge.

Thanks for any insight.

I'd like to bring your attention to my two Virtual Summit sessions, even though they're not HALF as cool as Embedded Python.

Git & GitLab for Shared Development Environments details the newly-released git-source-control package (see also on the Open Exchange) which provides a new best-of-breed solution for server-side IRIS/Git integration, especially for shared remote development environments. (I need to write up a post about this package specifically and plan to do so soon.

I am trying to create a scheduled task but get not implemented error when I try to run it.

I have just created a new Global Master Topic, "IRIS Cheatsheets". IRIS has introduced a lot of new functionality, especially in scripting languages, FHIR R4 support, enhanced Interoperability Tools, and IRIS Analytics. Having spent 35 years working on Windows-based PC's and Laptops, I have surprisingly little knowledge of Linux, Docker and Git. Furthermore, I have written almost every application and Interface in ObjectScript with splatterings of SQL, .Net, and Java Gateways and the most basic knowledge of WinSCP, Putty, SSH. All that changed when I received my first Raspberry Pi.

Hey everyone,

We're pleased to welcome @Duan Haihua as our new Chinese Moderator in the Developer Community Team!

For all docker versions we have direct download links.

Like on our repository or on docker hub :

• https://containers.intersystems.com

• https://hub.docker.com/search?q=intersystems&type=image

However, there is no direct link to download the installable (non docker) versions.

I propose you these two scripts to solve this need, the first one is with the wget command, the other one in curl.

Wget :

wget --delete-after --keep-session-cookies --save-cookies cookies.txt \

Hi All,

I'm having a strange issue where doing a .setValue on a ZEN datacombo is updating it with the value as-is, not the corresponding display value. Eg, if I connected it to query that returns two columns: ID,Name, and do a setValue(ID), I would expect the text in the datacombo to update showing Name. Instead it updates show ID, which I only want to use internally.

However, if I click on the dropdown, showing all the valid Names, select one, it works fine, showing Name (with the ID retrievable by getValue() as normal).
