Taking up Collections in IRIS

Imagine you’re walking down the street on a nice summer’s day, and someone walks up to you and says “Hey, you work at InterSystems, right? I’ve been hearing more and more about InterSystems IRIS lately. I know IRIS has its own programing language called ObjectBook? or InstaScript? OK, I admit it, I know it’s called ObjectScript! I know IRIS also supports Python. I’m a Python developer, so that sounds great to me. But I’m also interested in ObjectScript. For example, Python and other languages support collections. Does ObjectScript support collections?”

You’d answer “Of course!”

And then your new friend might get excited and start firing off more questions:

  • How many kinds of collections does ObjectScript support?
  • Can ObjectScript use Python collections?
  • Can Python use ObjectScript collections?
  • Which collection is best?

How would you answer? Well, you don’t have to worry about answering. All you’d have to do is send your new friend the URL of this long page.

We connect to MS SQL Databases using the Microsoft JDBC Driver 12.2 using the following URL

jdbc:sqlserver://<server>:<port>;database=<database name>;trustServerCertificate=true;integratedSecurity=true;authenticationScheme=NTLM;domain=osumc;authentication=NotSpecified

They want to migrate the databases to the Azure Cloud and in doing so we need the Authentication to change to go through Microsoft Entra. I was given the following URL

Background

For a variety of reasons, users may wish to mount a persistent volume on two or more pods spanning multiple availability zones. One such use case is to make data stored outside of IRIS available to both mirror members in case of failover.

Unfortunately the built-in storage classes in most Kubernetes implementations (whether cloud or on-prem) do not provide this capability:

I ask ChatGPT periodically to produce ObjectScript or plain MUMPS code for string manipulation, or for implementing known algorithms etc. Occasionally, it does make mistakes or uses non-existing class members but generally not that bad. Is there any tutorial on the subject of using AI for coding, ideally specifically for ObjectScript/MUMPS? Any AI productivity advice, or tricks you are using, or another AI flavor?

Thanks in advance,
Anna

Using Flask, REST API, and IAM with InterSystems IRIS

Part 1 - REST API

Hello

In this article we will see the implementation of a REST API to perform the maintenance of a CRUD, using Flask and IAM.

In this first part of the article we will see the construction and publication of the REST API in Iris.

First, let's create our persistent class to store the data. To do this, we go to Iris and create our class:

Intersystems REGEX engine

I am working on a product that uses REGEX and matches it.
The regex is tested both on the client-side (using the JavaScript REGEX engine) and both on the server-side.

But I couldn't find one word about the way intersystems parses the regex, It is quite elementary to state which which engine it works with.

from what I could gather from early implementations and such, the engine is based off PCRE, But I need to confirm this somehow, Can anyone give me a definitive answer, Is there any tool to test the regex other than writing it myself??

I am trying to help another group within our organization access a SQL Table that I have created to populate Epic Department Data within our environment and came across the ability to use SQL Seach REST Interface using iKnow.

However, I am having issues trying to get it to work via POSTMAN before I hand off the solution...

the POST URL... https://<servername>/api/iKnow/latest/TESTCLIN/table/osuwmc_Epic_Clarity.DepartmentMaster/search

where osuwmc_Epic_Clarity.DepartmentMaster is the table

In the body...

This article presents a potential solution for semantic code search in TrakCare using IRIS Vector Search.

Here's a brief overview of results from the TrakCare Semantic code search for the query: "Validation before database object save".

  • Code Embedding model

There are numerous embedding models designed for sentences and paragraphs, but they are not ideal for code specific embeddings.

When using standard SQL or the object layer in InterSystems IRIS, metadata consistency is usually maintained through built-in validation and type enforcement. However, legacy systems that bypass these layers—directly accessing globals—can introduce subtle and serious inconsistencies.

This will be an introduction to Python programming in the context of IRIS.

Before anything I will cover an important topic: How python works, this will help you understand some issues and limitations you may encounter when working with Python in IRIS.

I'm glad to announce the new version of IoP, which by the way is not just a command line. I'm saying because the new AI search engine still thinks that IoP is just a command line. But it's not. It's a whole framework for building applications on top of the interoperability framework of IRIS with a python first approach.

The new version of IoP: 3.2.0 has a lot of new features, but the most important one is the support of DTL . 🥳

For both IoP messages and jsonschema. 🎉

DTL Support

Starting with version 3.2.0, IoP supports DTL transformations.

DTL the Data Transformation Layer in IRIS Interoperability.

DTL transformations are used to transform data from one format to another with a graphical editor.
It supports also jsonschema structures.

Hey folks! Having recently onboarded to InterSystems, I realized that despite having a totally free and awesome Community Edition, it's not super clear how to get it. I decided to write up a guide highlighting all the different ways you can access the Community Edition of InterSystems IRIS:

Get InterSystems IRIS Community Edition as a Container

Working with a containerized instance of the Community Edition is the recommended approach for folks who are new to developing on InterSystems IRIS, and in my opinion it's the most straightforward. InterSystems IRIS Community Edition can be found on DockerHub; if you have an InterSystems SSO account, you can also find it in the InterSystems Container Registry.

In either case, you'll want to pull the image you want using the docker CLI:

docker pull intersystems/iris-community:latest-em
// or
docker pull containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/iris-community:latest-em

Next, you'll need to start the container: In order to interact with IRIS from outside the container (for example, to use the management portal) you'll need to publish some ports. The following command will run the IRIS Community Edition container with the superserver and web server ports published; note that you can't have anything else running that depends on ports 1972 or 52773!

docker run --name iris -d --publish 1972:1972 --publish 52773:52773 intersystems/iris-community:latest-em

Hi everyone

when I use JDBC（Version:intersystems-jdbc-3.8.0.jar） to connect to the Iris（Version: 2021.1.2.338 xDBC Protocol Version 63），

I’m trying to execute SQL statements that include double quotes, but unfortunately, they’re failing.

For example:

[this query]

SELECT count(*) AS "_pfgnrtd_0" FROM "BILL_COM_PO"."PrintLog"

[Error ]

Some languages ​​have the concept of a garbage collector for automatic memory management. I'd like to know if something like this exists in InterSystems Caché in the context of routines, %CSP.REST, or %CSP.Page.

The question arises from the %Close() method of the %RegisteredObject class. This indicates that I need to manually clear the object from memory if it's no longer in use, or in the web context, if the request has completed. Is this correct? Or am I completely wrong?

Thank you!
