I am hoping someone can let me know if I've gone down a dark path or not:

• I'm using the record mapper to create a business service that waits for a .txt file and sets pipe delimited data to the mapper's record class
• That record (essentially the raw data) is sent to a business process 
  • OnRequest() is implemented where it opens or creates an instance of the target object and validates and transforms and sets the data to the target object as needed; the response is that target object.

InterSystems announces its sixth preview, as part of the developer preview program for the 2023.2 release.  This release will include InterSystems IRIS and InterSystems IRIS for Health.

Highlights

Many updates and enhancements have been added in 2023.2 and there are also brand-new capabilities, such as Time-Aware Modeling, and enhancements of Foreign Tables (but still as an experimental feature). Note that some of these features or improvements may not be available in this current developer preview.

Another important topic is the removal of the Private Web Server (PWS) from the installers.

I am trying to write a class method to return the value of a object element.  Input to method is the object and element. I am not getting a value returned. What am I missing?

ClassMethod GetObjectFieldValue(pObject As %DynamicAbstractObject, pField As %String) As %String
{
    quit:pObject="" ""
    quit:pField="" "" set tResponse=""
    set tResponse = pObject.

Hi all,

 I'd like to start playing around with some simple Angular app with IRIS REST Api but I'd like to do so in the best way possible, did you have any best practices and/or VSCode setup to make life easier? 

Keep in mind I've never developed an Angular APP before, so also some simple example will be really useful.

Tnx.

Hi, I'd like to ask if it is possible to use an arbitrary JSON as a DTL source. Can the IRIS DTL editor parse JSON of arbitrary structure and display it as a tree?

Does InterSystems has CDS Hook implementations? if yes, where I could get the details.

Hi Community!

🎆 We're stoked to share the fantastic news with you! Our ❤️‍🔥 InterSystems Developer Hub ❤️‍🔥 is up and running and ready to welcome its users! 

One of our development Ensemble instances is misbehaving. We suspect we'll just need to reinstall it - which would be a hassle. Before we do, we wanted to check we weren't missing some kind of easy fix. The symptoms we are seeing:

1. A Cache process is running at 100% CPU on one core of the server - its the TASKMGR process
2. That Cache process resumes at 100% on Ensemble restart, and indeed after server reboot
3. There might be evidence of corruption in the task schedule: there's a "next scheduled date" of 1840-12-31 00:05.

In response to a community question asking to view Request and Response message types in Production settings..

A community helper class was implemented should people need this. ( alwo.EnsHelper.HostRequestResponseInfo )

Install

zpm install alwo-enshelper

The code may serve as an example, to project bespoke configuration into Production settings.

Usage

Business Service

Class myService extends (Ens.BusinessService, alwo.EnsHelper.HostRequestResponseInfo)
{
  ...
}

Business Process

Class myBusinessProcess extends (Ens.BusinessProcess, alwo.EnsHelper.

ObjectScript is a powerful language used in InterSystems products like InterSystems IRIS, enabling developers to build robust applications. To enhance the ObjectScript development experience, the OwnObjectScriptExtension is a Visual Studio Code extension that provides a range of tools and features. In this article, we will explore how the OwnObjectScriptExtension can improve your ObjectScript development workflow.

I have created a global say ^myglobal and entered some data. I am storing the name of global in databases and fetching the name based on some criteria. I am getting "^myglobal" in return from databases but i am not able to fetch the data I stored in the global. 

I tried set var = result.global which gives me "^myglobal" in var. Doing WRITE var will return "^myglobal" and not the data i stored in this global.

As it says in documentation %ZEN.Auxiliary.jsonProvider been deprecated. We been using it's functions like %ConvertJSONToObject, WriteJSONFromObject etc. Is there any replacement?

A customer wants to create an IRIS for Health business rule via the graphical editor, and then to execute that rule in ObjectScript without the context of an interoperability production. Is this possible, and if so, how?

It can sometimes be useful to list or export all of the subclasses that are derived, directly or indirectly, from a given class. In Studio, the Class -> Derived Classes menu option will show such a list, but I'm not aware of a built-in API for programmatically exporting their source code.

Yesterday I wrote some code for exporting derived classes, and I'm thinking about cleaning it up and putting it on Open Exchange. But if there's a simple way to do this that someone has already figured out, I'd be happy to know about that (and help others find that solution) rather than reinventing the wheel.

Hello again everyone.

In our previous article we saw how to configure our EMPI to receive FHIR messages. To do this we installed the FHIR Adapter that InterSystems made available to us that configured a REST endpoint to which we could send our FHIR message. We would then get the message and transform it to a %String that we would send via TCP to the output of our EMPI configured in our HSPIDATA namespace.

Alright, it's time to see how we retrieve the message, transform it back to a %DynamicObject and parse it to the class used by the EMPI to store the information.

Strong technical experience with InterSystems Cache Objects, XSLT is a must for this position.
Experience in CACHE/MUMPS technology.
Experience in IHE XCA, XDS.b profiles, CCDA exchange.
Experience in HL7 v2 messaging.
This position is good thru 2023 and very good possibility of extension if budget gets approved.
This position is for Pacific time hours.

We have several temporary open positions for InterSystems Application Developer.  If you are interested, please drop your resume to pbrown@cybercodemasters.com
 

As previously announced at Global Summit 2022, InterSystems will discontinue shipping or installing an Apache-based web server (often referred to as the private web server or PWS); this change is currently planned for InterSystems IRIS 2023.2. 

With this new approach, you have full control to choose which web server best suits your purposes, and how you configure, maintain, and update it. A key benefit of this change is that you will no longer have to wait for an updated kit from InterSystems to get the latest version, which is important especially in security vulnerability situations.

Hey Developers,

Enjoy watching the new video on InterSystems Developers YouTube:

I want to fetch value from a global without being limited by the namespace.  Is there any way of referencing the values from a global to a different namespace?

Starting in version 2021.1, InterSystems IRIS began shipping with a python runtime in the engine's kernel. However, there was no way to install packages from within the instance. The main draw of python is its enormous package ecosystem. With that in mind, I introduce my side project zpip, a pip wrapper that is callable from the iris terminal.

What is zpip?

Hi all, 

We are doing a SQL server upgrade to SQL server v.15 from a legacy server which had v.10 . I have our Cache server as a linked server int order to pull data from our system. When building out the ROWSPEC, I have my fields typed as %String with various lengths with one field having a max length of 15000. The SQL server is trying to interpret this as a text data type instead of varchar(n). Text is a depracated data type since SQL server 2008.

Hi Community,

I'm pleased to announce DEVBOX, the code anywhere IDE for IRIS.
Please watch the video and let me know what you think. Would you use it?
All the best,
Sean.

Our LDAP authentication is set to a specific servername, we would like to use LDAPS and a virtual name pointing to our load balancer.

Hi devs!

How one can understand the classnames of request and response messages of a given operation?

E.g. when I build the data transformation, how do I know which message will come to the operation?

Suppose you have routine ^A loaded in your partition in programmer mode and you call routine ^B. Routine ^B finds the value of $ZU(96,9) which should be the calling routine.

But $ZU(96,9) now returns null, as does $SYSTEM.Process.CallingRoutine()

Works on 2018.1.7 but not 2018.1.8

$ROLES= %All on both systems

More precisely I have line label ZZPP in ^%ZLANGC00 which needs to identify the original routine in the partition and do some work on it. When I type ZZPP I get nothing on the later version. Here's the line of code:

ZZPP New RTN Set RTN=$ZU(96,9) QUIT:RTN=""  WRITE !

Now the Classes/Rutines/DeepSee files will be automatically exported to the working directory after saving or compiling and files will be automatically deleted .

Installation

To install isc-dev , you just need to download and import the file isc-dev.xml from last release. Some ways to import isc-dev .xml file:

• Go to Management Portal -> System Explorer -> Classes -> Import and select the XML file.
• Drag the file over Studio.
• Terminal command:

NS>do $system.OBJ.Load("yourpath/isc-dev.xml","ck")

• Get it from Package Manager Client:

NS>zpm
zpm: NS>install isc-dev

How to enable this feature:

• After importing the class in the target namespace, run the following method to set up the working directory:

NS>do ##class(dev.code).workdir("/path/to/your/working/directory/src/")

• Go to Management Portal -> System Administration -> Configuration -> Additional Settings -> Source Control.
• Select the target namespace and set the dev.FileManExtension class as the main one and save it.
• Try to create a new class in the studio and save/compile it
• Enjoy!

It can be obtained by using the Size query of the system-provided %SYS.GlobalQuery class.

See the sample code below for usage examples.
*Please check the class reference for specifying columns and parameters.

 set dir="C:\intersystems\iris\mgr\user" // IRIS.DAT(or CACHE.DAT) folder
 set rs = ##class(%ResultSet).%New("%SYS.GlobalQuery:Size")
 do rs.Execute(dir) // You can also specify a mask with the 3d parameter
 while (rs.Next()) { 
   set gname= rs.Get("Name") // global name
   set gsize= rs.Get("Used MB") // global size (MB)
   write gname," : ",gsize,!
