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.

What is IRIS ApiPub?

IRIS ApiPub is an Open Source project whose main goal is to automatically publishRESTful APIs created with Intersystems IRIS technology, in

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. Please confirm the '_Ensemble' user is enabled and is assigned the '%All' role.

_Ensemble already has the %ALL

If one of your packages on OEX receives a review you get notified by OEX only of YOUR own package.   
The rating reflects the experience of the reviewer with the status found at the time of review.   
It is kind of a snapshot and might have changed meanwhile.   
Reviews by other members of the community are marked by * in the last column.

I also placed a bunch of Pull Requests on GitHub when I found a problem I could fix.    
Some were accepted and merged, and some were just ignored.     
So if you made a major change and expect a changed review just let me know.

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.
The process runs fine for some thousand objects, but

Hello Hello,

I am building a patient room door signage for a customer who has Trakcare already deployed. The app will reflect patient's data upon admission in the hospital (eg. name, male/female, doctor, mrn,  special diet, etc...)

When the patient is discharged, "something" will tell the app that the patient was discharged and the screen will be reset.

Appreciate any kind of direction and help.

Thank you!

In the sample below, an image file is encoded into a Base64 string in a class property, saved, decoded again with Base64, and restored to another file.

【Usage class】

Class User.test Extends %Persistent

Property pics As %GlobalBinaryStream;

【When importing】

On Linux, use the iris command to execute a routine or method from a shell and get the return value.

For more information,  please refer to the document "About Instance Connections".

An example of a command is as follows.

iris terminal instname [arguments]

The return value of a shell script can be specified using a special variable using the Terminate() method of the %SYSTEM.Process class when the process ends, rather than by specifying an argument in the QUIT or RETURN command that is specified when a routine or method ends. Use the method of returning a value to $?.

Is it possible to have a single MUMPS variable representing all subscripts for a global? For example, if I have an ^ABC global and the ^ABC(1,2) node exist, is it possible to have a variable TEMP so that ^ABC(TEMP) would represent ^ABC(1,2)? TEMP="1,2" obviously does not work since it is interpreted as a single subscript, not two subscripts.

Developing a Full-Stack JavaScript web app with Caché requires you to bring together the right building blocks. In the previous part, we created a basic front-end React application. In the second part of this article series I will show how to choose the right back-end technology for your application. You will see Caché allows you to use many different approaches to link your front-end to your Caché server, depending on your application's needs. In this part we will set up a back-end with Node.js/QEWD and CSP/REST. In the next part we will enhance our basic web app and connect it to Caché using these technologies.

Hello,

I have a method in an operation wich return a list of %String (listId).
I call it multiple time in a Business Process and want to have all the lists I get put into one.
Not having "set context.listIdProcess = callresponse.listId" , but a way to add the elements of listId in context.listIdProcess.

There is an other way than append each element of the list?

Thanks for yours answers,

Hi All! If you have looked into Health Connect Cloud at all, you may know that the cloud-native environment presents a few differences from traditional deployments of InterSystems integrations. If you've taken a classroom course at InterSystems, you may have used "in" and "out" folders in productions to simulate receiving and outputting HL7 messages.

Configuring Secure File Transfer in Health Connect Cloud shows how this is achieved in a cloud environment where you can't simply create an "in" and "out" folder on your local server. Let me know if you have any questions!

I'll need to maintain access to the data for an approximately 10 year retention period.

Are you preparing to use VS code for the first time? Just make sure you have enough privileges.

Have you defined your Iris server in your VS Code settings, and still get the following error?

VS Code accesses Iris/HealthConnect using the web application /api/atelier. If you do not have permission (i.e. you are using an LDAP user to connect and the web application is not configured to support LDAP), this is the reason why you couldn't connect.

you will also notice a 'Login Failure' entry in the audit database, with the reason for it.

I've been running my review collections on OpenExchange now for more than 3 years.
I explained the principle I apply in a past article. 
These reviews are the first step of the quality check in OEX.

My personal Credo
My expectation of OEX  (expressed in extreme) is to see it rather as
a collection of jewels, than just a flea market.

I start this discussion encouraged by @Evgeny Shvarov in his recent comment 

The quality of Open Exchange is very important, of course!and improve the average quality of projects.
