Hello everyone! This is my first post into the developer community and one that I hope is fairly simple to answer. In our environment we currently have 3 different Test environments for testing before migrating code to our Prod environment. Currently we are working on establishing a source control method using Git in house which has been a bit of a struggle. We have also had developers that had used different test and migration methods in the past which has caused some issues with keeping the different test environment in sync.

Been testing out the Production Validator toolkit, just to see what we can/not do with it. Seems really interesting and there seem to be some use cases for it that can really streamline some upgrades (or at least parts of upgrades) but I was running into so many hurdles with the documentation. I am curious if anyone else has used it.

Hi Community!

I'm super excited to be your on-the-ground reporter for the biggest developer event of the year - InterSystems Ready 2025!

As you may know from previous years, our global summits are always exciting, exhilarating, and packed with valuable knowledge, innovative ideas, and exciting news from InterSystems. This year is no different. But let's not get ahead of ourselves and start from the beginning.

Pre-summit day was, as usual, filled with fun and educational experiences. Those who enjoy playing golf (I among them) got up at the crack of dawn to tee off before the sun got too high up. Here's our dream team in action:

I'm sure most of you are familiar with utility %SYS.MONLBL that is crucial when analysing code performance bottlenecks. It allows you to select a number of routines that you want to monitor at runtime and also specify what process(es) you want to watch. BUT, what if you do not know exactly, what process would execute your code? This is true with many web based (CSP/REST) applications today. You want to minimize the resource utilization on your production system that needs analysis. So, how about doing a small tweak?

1. Define an INC file with these macros:

We recently changed the 'UserID" property in a "User" class from type of %String to be %Library.Username. This is for better consistency across our codebase regarding MAXLEN limit.

%Library.Username is a system wrapper datatype which extends %String and has a MAXLEN of 160. This change should have minimal/no impact on code behavior. However, we found that some SQL query cannot return expected rows after the change. Query will return empty values even if the entry is in the table.

Google Forms is the most popular solution on the market for collecting data, answering questionnaires and quizzes. So, it is the ideal solution for collecting patient data and responses in a practical way, without the need to expand or develop systems. In this article, I will detail how to create an account on Google Cloud, register the application that will consume the Google Forms API, generate the service user necessary to consume the API and finally perform actions to create new forms and collect data filled in them in an automated way in embedded Python and IRIS.

I have VS Code with extensions connected to IRIS for Health. One top-level ObjectScript package is not displayed in the workspace for this namespace. This package exists in the namespace and is visible in SMP. If I create a new class with a different top-level package name (package that didn't previously exist) it will immediately appear in the workspace.

Is there any debug logging I can enable to look for errors or do any other troubleshooting?

Forgot to mention: the missing package is custom, not a system package.

Hi,

I'm trying to create a user with access to the HS namespaces management portal.
I'm having trouble identifying the correct resource to assign to the user. I'm testing various resources, but every time I go to the HS management section, a blank page appears, and the Home button disappears.

I'm confused about the differences between a namespace and a database.

I understand that a database is a single IRIS.DATA file in a directory in the os hosting IRIS.

What is the difference between a namespace and a database?

Can I write data into a database without specifying a namespace?
If so how do I write to a particlar DB in objectscript?

Does a database have to be in a namespace?
Can a database be in more than one namespace?

Can a namespace have only one 'routine' database and only one 'data' database?

Hello Community,

I'm trying to import WSDL service descriptions from Gematik (https://www.gematik.de/) to allow communication with the german TI infrastructure using the TI connectors webservice interface over a IRIS healthconnect SOAP operation. For import I'm using the SOAP Wizard Add-Inn from Studio.

I have a business service which is responsible for some batch operations with an SQL table. The process is generally slow but it is possible to scale the performance using multithreading and/or parallel processing and logical partitioning (postgres):

Hey, So the title pretty much describes the question:
Where and How can i see the Stream that contains the response back to the client of a CSP application.

When the request is being processed and finished we return a response to the client - We do that by writing the data to a stream and that stream is sent back to the client.
I wanted to know how i can access the point right before that Data is actually written to the client back (meaning the place where the response is actually being send back, the last point of contact).
