InterSystems will end support for using the VxFS filesystem with InterSystems IRIS and label it as deprecated as of the release of InterSystems IRIS 2023.3.  InterSystems will continue to support any existing customers using the technology, but it is no longer recommended for new deployments.

VxFS had only been supported on SUSE Linux.  Impacted customers are encouraged to migrate to XFS or another supported filesystem.

Customers with questions should reach out to their account team or contact me directly.

I'm dealing with a situation that leaves in doubt what I understand about CACHE.WIJ (C:\Roche\CobasInfinity\HealthShare\mgr).. 
Journal files store records already written to the base.. and CACHE.WIJ records not yet written to the base..
theoretically, the data contained in CACHE.WIJ is temporary... until the record is written to the base (consequently generating journal).
The question arose because I have a .WIJ file from 03/10/2023 (modification date) with approx. 4GB.. theoretically the WIJ does not should it be written/modified every day? because the system is in full use, with continuous tra

Information on properties defined in a class can be obtained using the following system classes:

%Dictionary.ClassDefinetion

%Dictionary.PropertyDefinition

The code description example is as follows.

Class ISJ.Sample
{
ClassMethod getPropInfo(classname As %String)
{
    set cls=##class(%Dictionary.ClassDefinition).%OpenId(classname,,.status)
    if $$$ISERR(status) {
        write "Specified class does nt exist",!
        quit
    }
    set x=cls.Properties
    for i=1:1:x.Count() {

Following the documentation to insert into tableA from tableB in the SQL query box from the Management Portal :

INSERT INTO tableA (col1, col2)
SELECT col1, col2
FROM tableB

This straightforward query raises the following error :

Could someone help me decipher this error message ? Thanks for your help.

I have a sub class that calls a method in the parent class it is derived from.

However in the below code a <NO CURRENT OBJECT> error is thrown.

Set propertyValue = $PROPERTY($THIS,name)

Using the debugger  I can see $THIS is returning the name of the subclass as it should and name is the correct property name (worth noting some properties are defined in the superclass not the subclass).

Why is this error ocouring and how can I fix it?

In this series of articles, I'd like to present and discuss several possible approaches toward software development with InterSystems technologies and GitLab. I will cover such topics as:

• Git 101
• Git flow (development process)
• GitLab installation
• GitLab Workflow
• Continuous Delivery
• GitLab installation and configuration
• GitLab CI/CD
• Why containers?
• Containers infrastructure
• CD using containers
• CD using ICM
• Container architecture

In this article, we would talk about building your own container and deploying it.

I was attempting to find a solution to grant clients anonymous access to certain API endpoints while securing others within my REST API. However, when defining a Web Application, you can only secure the entire application and not specific parts of it.

I scoured the community for answers but didn't find any exact solutions, except one recommendation to create two separate web applications, one secured and the other unsecured. However, in my opinion, this approach involves too much work and creates unnecessary maintenance overhead. I prefer to develop my APIs spec-first and decide within the spe

Hi Guys,

We currently for reason I'm getting too many locks in the system (around 990 locks) and is making the system slow

most of these locks are on globals 

I have a method that sets values in some globals every minute which I guess will place a lock on each one and expecting the system would just automatically release them afterward, use to be fine before but for some reason now the list of locks keeps growing, so is there way to just release the lock after setting values in my globals  because I don't need them locked anyway?

Thanks

End of support for CentOS

CentOS will no longer be a supported development platform as of the release of InterSystems IRIS 2023.3. 

CentOS had been a supported development platform to give developers a free-to-use equivalent to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) for IRIS development.  As you're probably aware, Red Hat made significant changes to CentOS which moved it to being “upstream” of RHEL. This means it has bugs & features not yet included in RHEL, which can cause problems for developers building on the platform.

Developers using CentOS are encouraged to take advantage of Red Hat’s free

Hi community, 

I created a business operation class using the FTP Outbound Adapter, and it works when configured for SFTP but when I try to use it for FTPS, it does not work as expected.  The connection is established, it creates the file on the destination server but then is disconnected in the middle of the transfer and the PutStream returns 0 and never seems to finish the write of the file.  Anyone have any idea of what's happening or any steps I can try to troubleshoot?  

Thanks in advance.

Hi Friends,

We have a requirement to read pdf text in ensemble object script code. As object script doesn't have direct solution , i tried to implement python code , but

iris 2020 , there is no support for python in object script.

so I have found one java utill using pdfbox api.

Now I have created jar and want to register into iris and want to make a call to mymethod to read pdf text.

please help me to way forward to achieve it.

I am making a POST request to an API. In the case of an error, I don't know what parameters the response JSON will contain (they will change depending on the error). I am converting the response stream to an object but then I need a way to loop through all the properties and access their values. The following code is making the POST request, reading the response, and trying to add all the error messages to an array. But I can't iterate over the properties of the tProxy.errors object because it is a %ZEN.proxyObject. Is there a better way to do this?

Set tSC=..Adapter.Post(.tHttpResponse, , tP

Effective documentation is a cornerstone of software development, aiding in code comprehension, maintenance, and collaboration. By harnessing the power of Doxygen and the ObjectScript filter I've created, you can generate rich static documentation from your source code. This approach does not require a running IRIS instance and thus is a good choice in situations when access to IRIS is not possible. Static documentation may be provided to end-users as-is, together with the source code.

Introduction

I searched through the community to find solutions targeting static documentation generation b

Hello,
First of all thanks for your help.

We have developed a REST Operation. We wonder how could we face that String do have a character limit.

We just need to convert httpRequest.HttpResponse , which is a stream , because $isobject(response.Data) returns 1; which has a JSON inside it, and we need to convert it to a Ens.Response.

This response is structured as same as the JSON's properties: 

Class Mensajes.Response.Radiologia.CConcertados.BusquedaOrdenesNEGRINResponse Extends Ens.Response
    {

    Property data As list Of EsquemasDatos.CConcertadostoPACS.Radiologia.BusquedaOrdenes;

Hi, How can I get an instance of stream which is a successor of %Stream.Object in a method that handles a REST POST request?

This returns a variable of type %CSP.Stream which is totally useless, because %CSP.Stream does not inherit from %Stream.Object

Will it hurt anything if I disable the user that installed IRIS, within IRIS? Does this cause a problem with background processes running or with the restart? I know the _Ensemble user is used to start/stop/restart objects within IRIS, just didn't see anything in the documentation about the user that installed IRIS.

Thanks

Saw the other day an article with the usage of the %ZEN package when working with JSON and decided to write an article describing a more modern approach. At some recent point, there was a big switch from using %ZEN.Auxiliary.* to dedicated JSON classes. This allowed to work with JSONs more organically.

Thus, at this point there are basically 3 main classes to work with JSON:

• %Library.DynamicObject - provides a simple and efficient way to encapsulate and work with standard JSON documents. Also, there is a possibility instead of writing the usual code for creating an instance of a class like

set obj = ##class(%Library.DynamicObject).%New()

it is possible to use the following syntax

set obj = {}

• %Library.DynamicArray - provides a simple yet efficient way to encapsulate and work with standard JSON  arrays. With arrays you can use the same approach as with objects, meaning that yu can either create an instance of the class

set array = ##class(%DynamicArray).%New()

set array = []
