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:

for01

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

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,

Hi, Community!

👩‍⚕️If you need to access clinical data at scale, the InterSystems Bulk FHIR Coordinator can help!

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/.

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

#924.94

Is there any way to record commands? Currently I need to add:

But it would be way better if I could just see what's being executed.

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.

Today, we will assemble the Nervous System

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

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

I get this error:

#8 11.30 Building dependency graph...
#8 12.69 ERROR! Could not find satisfactory version of isc.rest in any repositories. Required by: iris-budget 0.0.1: ^2.0.0

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!

Hey Community!

We're happy to share a new video from our InterSystems Developers YouTube:

I am working on a new project oliverwilms/iris-budget
based on intersystems-community/iris-fullstack-template: This template shows you how to build, test and deploy a simple full-stack application using InterSystems IRIS REST API

I do not understand why I get this error:

[INFO] ...started InterSystems IRIS instance IRIS
[INFO] Executing command /docker-entrypoint.sh iris-after-start ...
[INFO] Create namespace: USER
[ERROR] module 'iris' has no attribute 'system'

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:

importimportimport{

Running it produces the following output:

{

To debug the connection set  to 1, all communication would be logged to the same global.

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.

Hi Community,

Here we have requirement to process messages min 10 sec delay. Current time it is taking my businessProcess is less than 1 sec.

To implement this requirement , I need to sleep 10 sec in business process custom code.

Could somebody help me to implement delay in BusinessProcess.

Thanks,

Prashanth

Hey everyone,

I'm just seeking some guidance and confirmation on what I'm doing for my production health monitoring.

We utilize Grafana to have reporting/monitoring dashboards and I have made a REST API to query the health of our productions. I believe I have everything figured out except for one thing that I'm uncertain about and that is the Production Item Color indicators:

Is there an easy way of being able to figure out the status of an item with the legend above? Ideally, I'd like to have this data in my JSON response.

Hey everyone.

I have a web service which is receiving XML as a stream, and I'm intending to then correlate the stream into an object. Unfortunately I am hitting a road block where the sender places a large chunk of the XML within a cdata block which is then causing the correlate of %XML.Reader to not work.

Hello everyone. I'm currently working on how to implement a solution that makes it possible to include within the response of a BusinessOperation the "RetryCount" for each message.
For Example, we have this message that was retried twice:

This is an HL7.message going through a specific business operation, we did not create a custom one: we used the default implementation EnsLib.HL7.Operation.TCPOperation. This operation should automatically handle retries (infinetely waiting on a response).

Hi,
I need to create a bundle of synthetic data in order to populate FHIR servers (not mine).

Can I use a predefined ids, or is it possible the one of the servers will not allow using my IDs and replace them with it's automatic numbering?

Hello Team,

I am trying to duplicate the production flow in the Ensemble 2018 but after doing all the steps (like copying same class file, adapter file, process class file) as production, still the flow is not working. The error is that it is not reaching the operation (which is supposed to store the data), it gets stuck in the processes. Additionally, I am also trying to add a logic where in OUL message if the value of code 20061 > 30mg, it should automatically send another order back to service (OML).
