InterSystems has made the decision to stop further development of the InterSystems Cloud Manager and label it as deprecated as of the InterSystems IRIS 2023.3 release.  InterSystems will continue to support existing customers using the technology, but it is no longer recommended for new deployments.

Customers in the cloud who are interested in deploying and managing an IRIS deployment with many systems are encouraged to consider Kubernetes and the InterSystems Kubernetes Operator, which has very similar functionality to ICM.

Hello community,

I want to iterate through a defined collection/list of numbers for example 1,3,4,5 in my DTL.

Something like

When analyzing data, there is often a need to look at specific indicators more thoroughly and to highlight sections of information of particular interest to a user.

 For instance, examining the data dynamics for specific regions or dates can help us uncover some hidden trends and patterns that will allow us to make an informed decision about our project in the future.

To conduct such a detailed data analysis, the most effective thing to do would be to use the "fractional analysis" method or drill-down analysis.

Hello! I just had a quick question for anyone out there with more experience on deploying Ensemble productions.

I'm currently trying to export my Ensemble production WITH the Business Partners so I don't have to rebuild or add to that table after I import my Ensemble Production. I know that this is a small thing and doesn't actually affect anything in the production in terms of performance, but I like to have it for better documentation.

I've tried including it in my export, but I'm unable to find it and I'm wondering if there is something obvious that I'm missing?

Hello everyone!
I have manually created a REST-service that receives incoming HTTP-GET calls together with an URL-map. As shown below:

XData UrlMap [ XMLNamespace = "https://www.intersystems.com/urlmap" ]
{
<Routes>
<Route Url="/testGet" Method="GET" Call="Handler" />
</Routes>
}

ClassMethod Handler(req As %Stream.Object) As %Status
{
set Class = ##class(Ens.Request).%New()

set status = ##class(Ens.Director).CreateBusinessService("TestService", .instance)
set status = instance.OnProcessInput(Class, .response)

if $ISOBJECT(response)
{
         write response.

I have some code that fire this kind of request very often : 

set request = ##class(%Net.HttpRequest).%New()
set request.Server = ... //always the same 
set request.Location = ... //always the same 
do request.EntityBody.Write(...) //this is different from one request to another
do request.Post() 

If it was called in a loop I could move the HttpRequest instantiation outside, unfortunately this is not the case.

Until a couple of days ago the most downloaded bookmark extension for VS Code, Bookmarks by Alessandro Fragnani, wasn't able to handle the isfs file references that the InterSystems ObjectScript extension uses when you are operating in a Studio-like way and editing classes & routines directly in a namespace.

In support of our efforts at George James Software to facilitate migration from Studio I raised the issue with Alessandro and helped him resolve the incompatibility.

It's a feature of ObjectScript (perhaps widely known, perhaps not) that if you open the same object ID multiple times, you end up with the same OREF. For example:

USER>set obj1 = ##class(Sample.Person).%OpenId(1)
 
USER>set obj2 = ##class(Sample.Person).%OpenId(1)

USER>w obj1,!,obj2
1@Sample.Person
1@Sample.Person

Generally speaking, this is an important feature - you won't end up accidentally modifying the same record via multiple paths and losing some of the changes.

I'm using a customised IRIS Community Edition Docker Container: Node.js has been added and the Native API for Node.js directory moved to a node_modules folder in /home/irisowner.

I think there have been articles published here before but I'm struggling to find them:

I'd like to be able to create my own customised version of the official IRIS Community Edition Container, eg with Node.js and a number of modules pre-installed.  So, for example, can I create my own Dockerfile that begins with something like:

         FROM containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/iris-community-arm64:2023.2.0.227.0

and then I can add my own stuff to it?

... or is there another recommended approach?

Any info appreciated

Is there any solution to how to purge the usage of the connection in Community Edition?

I have a working portal, where can't do even any simple SQL Query

Why?

Other namespace services are running normally, and the namespace production cannot be restarted 

Introduction

Data analytics is a crucial aspect of business decision-making in today's fast-paced world. Organizations rely heavily on data analysis to make informed decisions and stay ahead of the competition. In this article, we will explore how data analytics can be performed using Pandas and Intersystems Embedded Python. We will discuss the basics of Pandas, the benefits of using Intersystems Embedded Python, and how they can be used together to perform efficient data analytics.

Good morning
Thank you for taking the time to read this issue.

In interoperability environments, in what way is it recommended to monitor and detect changes in Web Production components between environments, for example between Pre-Production and Production, or even between alternate Nodes of Production Mirrors?

We ask this question in order to find out what are the best practices, and what is the most methodical, systematic, simple, robust and secure way to perform this monitoring.

Terminal garbled code, how should I handle it

I recently started work on trying to Tighten Security in our Development Instance of IRIS that is running based on recommendations from our Audit as you might of seen from my other posts. I am currently trying to get into the Private Web Gateway Manager within IRIS as CSPSystem, but when I attempt to sign in nothing happens. 

I went through and reset the password in the CSP.ini and within IRIS for CSPSystem. I made sure it had the new GatewayRole per suggested 

https://docs.intersystems.com/healthconnect20231/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?

When making a synchronous request to a custom business process and there's an error and  0 is returned, it seems that the response is not sent back to the custom business service.  Rather, a Ens.MessageHeader with IsError=1 is returned without a message body (which would normally be the response object).

I tried using ##class(Ens.MessageHeader).%OpenId($$$JobCurrentHeaderId).IsError to check the error status but I keep getting the node that $$$JobCurrentHeaderId compiles to is undefined.  There's clearly a Ens.MessageHeader object being sent back to the process, but I can't access it.

Hello everyone,

Is there a way to prettify the JSON streams in the incoming HTTP messages so that they are more readable in Visual Trace?

The HTTP messages sent by many software aren't prettified and are displayed like this in the Visual Trace:

On the other hand, other software like Postman prettify the messages and they are displayed in this way:

I know there is a JSON Formatter class, however what I would like is an automatic setting that automatically prettifies the JSON displayed in the Visual Trace without having to go through code.

Is there anything similar? 

Introduction

We are in the age of the multiplatform economy and APIs are the "glue" in this digital scenario. Since they are so important, they are seen by developers as a service or product to be consumed. Therefore, usage experience is a crucial factor for its success.

In order to improve this experience, specification standards such as the OpenAPI Specification (OAS) are increasingly being adopted in the development of RESTFul APIs.

I am trying to lock down security within our Development environment per requirements from a Security Audit that was done earlier this year. I need to try to limit access at a public level, access to cache users, and exposure.

I installed IRIS with the Lockdown method, and have configured my web applications, services, resources, etc.

When I go into my namespace, I am constantly presented with the following error when I try to start or stop an Object...

Cannot login as IRIS manager.

I am currently debugging a piece of code relying heavily on macros. I am using breaks in the method to then check the values of macros and object properties as I go. However, any time I invoke a macro within a break I get an error. To get around this I am converting the macro calls into the underlying code. Some of these macros have messy translations and this is somewhat time consuming. Is there an easier way to access macros from within a break?

We currently have a couple of Shell scripts we have written to EnableConfigItem from a Unix (Red Hat) command line, so we can control when a Service/Operation is running via the cron in Unix. We do this by calling

:>iris session xxxxx

using _system user.

During our Security audit it was mentioned that we need to lock down some of the cache users. 

• So, has others written scripts to make IRIS calls via command line?
  • If so, what is the consensus of using a Cache user vs using say a LDAP service account?

• Or what have you used in the past to ensure that the password is not hardcoded anywhere?

Hello Community,

I am working on creating a FHIR bundle with Practitioner resources inside of a BPL business process. Data source is a cache database table containing business partner data objects.
Part of the implementation is a loop over all new or updated data objects. For each element a SAP call is made to retrieve more information and add it to the target resource. As there was no last run on first start, approx. 130000 objects are initially to be exported. After the first run, there would not be more than 100 to be updated on each run.
