BPL from 10,000 feet

BPL stands for Business Process Language.
This is an XML format for describing complex information orchestration interactions between systems.
InterSystems Integration engine has for two decades, provided a visual designer to build, configure, and maintain, BPL using a graphical interface.
Think of it like drawing a process flow diagram that can be compiled and deployed.

An example: Make a cup of tea

BPL components are added to Integration productions like any other built-in or custom business component.

Hi Guys,

I never ran a Compact & truncate process before and we do have a 4.6TB database with 1.9TB free space available that I would like to recover 

but when trying to compact first it did ask me to target in MBs and not sure what this is, does it mean that I need enough space to move all my 4.6TB database to ? and given that system is running live does the Compact or Truncate process stop or affect our system from been used from our clients and any idea how long such process would take to finish (minutes or hours) ?  

Thanks

Hi Guys,

My Cache.dat has a expanded a lot and some globals occupy a lot of disc space with just junk data so I would like to kill some globals and shrink the cache.dat file because I'm running out of disk space?
So is there a way to do that without having to do it through the Truncate & Compact databases?

Thanks  

Hi, I hope this post helps.

The bottom line: MAXLEN is relevant mostly for odbc/jdbc connections and you need to specify an appropriate value within your  tables (classes), otherwise the data might be truncated when you query it, or even fail when you try to insert data.

Long story:

the sql GUI in the portal is very lenient in reference to the MAXLEN  , for example you can insert data into a table where there is data longer then the size of a column, if you're using fhir sql the columns in the tables are mostly MAXLEN =50 even if there is much larger data, additionally if you create a table

Hi Guys

Two of the HC servers I manage (a mirrored pair) have lost the ability to debug code, and I am unsure as to why this has happened. Clearly something has changed, as the other three are working just fine.

When I select a Class Method as debug target, add a few break points and run it, I get the following Output

Debugger executing '##class(InPhase.Test.CanUpdate).TestBIU()'
Executing ##class(InPhase.Test.CanUpdate).TestBIU()

Program has terminated.

⏯ Introducing Smart Data Services @ Global Summit 2023

A few weeks ago I posted an announcement about a JavaScript-based interface for our mg_web WebServer interfacing addon module.  mg_web isn't just restricted to use by JavaScript developers though.  Many readers will be ObjectScript developers who are more used to using CSP as their web gateway.  Some may even have much older legacy WebLink-based applications (and be wondering how to support them given that IRIS does not support WebLink).

This article aims to provide some more information on mg_web and to explain why it's worth a look for ObjectScript developers.

hi there,

I recently created a shell script to run the integrity check.

I used this as reference - Introduction | InterSystems IRIS Data Platform 2023.3

I found the example from above url having a line - "

kill ^IRIS.TempIntegrityOutput(+$job)

it isn't working when I used in a script. it returns the pid of my iris session instead.

I had to simplify the example to run following lines instead - 

Do CheckList^Integrity(,,,,5)
do Display^Integrity(,1,)
 

script runs fine and can see integrity check results as expected.

however, the output seems cumulative, and output includes all historical

Technical surprises using VECTORs
>>> UPDATED

Building my tech. example provided me with a bunch of findings htt I want to share.
The first vectors I touched appeared with text analysis and more than 200  dimensions.
I have to confess that I feel well with Einstein's 4 dimensional world.
7 to 15 dimensions populating the String Theory are somewhat across the border.
But 200 and more is definitely far beyond my mathematical horizon.

When using something like BeyondCompare when working with production class exports, the XData block "items" content very rarely if ever wind up in the same order making Beyond compare a total mess.

Is there a way of either sorting it on the export, or would I have to find (or write) some XSLT-based tool to go into the exported class and sort all the items? Does anyone know of a tool like that available?

Thanks!

Hi Everyone,

We are using SQL based KPI's to display reports in IRIS dashboards. We have applied the filter functionality in these SQL based KPI reports.

I need your help for below scenario.

Below is my full report. Filter is applied on Name and Subject Name in this report.

Now I have used filter on Name and selected values 'Virat' and 'Big Show'

2 entries were displayed from 5 records.

Now when I look in Subject Name Filter, it still display all the distinct values of Subject Name.

I want this to display only Chemistry and Social (as Name filter got applied).

While performing the IRIS upgrade on our backup test server I noticed the following error in the messages log after restarting IRIS:

Stumped on this one, I logged a WRC and looked at some things with support but was not able to resolve the issue.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi

I've installed Ensemble 2018 then enabled IIS from Win features, then realized that CSPGateway doesn't exit so I downloaded and installed CSPGateway-2018 from WRC.

so now I'm trying to set up a Website application and facing some issues, and I think IIS and CSPGateway in inetpub are not connecting or synchronising properly but mostly is accessing Web gateway via IIS my understanding is that I can access using the following url http://machinename/csp/bin/Systems/Module.cxw  using my machinename or IP but it's not happening.

I can access the gateway from Managment portal with this url http

⏯ Identifying Structured and Coded Data in HL7 FHIR Resources

Is there a way to exclude specific members from a class when exporting to an XML or UDL file? Bonus question: is there a way to import from that file without overwriting those members that were excluded?

The use case is to export an interoperability production class without the ProductionDefinition XDATA. We plan to source control the production items through the Ensemble Deployment Manager, but we still need to export any custom code in the class definition itself.

I am receiving an XML input to my router and in the routing rule I need to traverse through the xml data , apply a for loop and fetch data.

How can I do that ?

Input :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Input>
   <data>
      <Ids>
         <Id>
            <Type>A</Type>
            <Value>123</Value>
         </Id>
         <Id>
            <Type>B</Type>
            <Value>456</Value>
         </Id>
      </Ids>
   </data>
</Input>

I would like to read 123 from above xml in a rule ..

Hello Community,

I'm executing the same query with same  column name but in different case. An unique cached query generated while query executed first time. The query preparser only normalize the keywords and send to the SQL engine generates the Hash. Eventually use the cached query next use.

Now my question, The hash values are same for both of the queries. Then why it creates two cached queries.

Query1: select * from MyLearn.Test where Name['Kev1'

Query2: select * from MyLearn.Test where NamE['Kev1'

Thanks!
