Technology Strategy

When I started this project I had set myself limits:
Though there is a wide range of almost ready-to-use modules in various languages
and though IRIS has excellent facilities and interfaces to make use of them
I decided to solve the challenge "totally internal" just with embedded Python, SQL, ObjectScript
Neither Java, nor Nodes, nor Angular, PEX, ... you name it.
The combination of embedded Python and SQL is preferred. ObjectScript is just my last chance.

I was especially impressed how easy reading an HTTPS page with Python was.
On the other hand, I left Unit Test and Global M

We've implemented SAML authentication for our application where we are the service provider and various other entities are the identity providers. We've done successful connections with several identity providers including Okta, Duo Mobile, Ping Identity, and Azure. Validating the SAML response with signed assertions has been working great. Now, I am trying implement support for the SAML assertions in the response being encrypted for a new identity provider and struggling to understand procedurally how to go about this. From the sample XML below, I assume I need to decrypt the <CipherData> ele

Last week at the InterSystems Global Summit, we announced our new Foreign Tables capability, which was introduced as an experimental feature with the 2023.1 release earlier this year. We're now inviting you to join the Early Access Program for Foreign Tables and kick the tires on this new capability, so you can let us know whether it suits your needs and what capabilities we should prioritize next.

So what are Foreign Tables, really? -- In case you don't have the time or popcorn to watch this nice overview video, Foreign Tables help you project data to IRIS SQL that is physically stored els

Hey Developers,

Watch this video to learn about InterSystems TrakCare Innovation Toolkit which is a free download that enables TrakCare users to quickly access their data in standard HL7® FHIR® format, making the system of record a system of transformation:

InterSystems has corrected a defect that causes increased process memory usage.

Specifically, the increased consumption of local process partition memory occurs when executing $Order,  $Query, or Merge on local variables.  While this will have no detrimental impact for most running environments, environments that support a large number of processes or closely limit Maximum Per-Process Memorycould be impacted.  Some processes may experience <STORE> errors.

The defect exists in 2023.1.0.229.0 but it is reposted as 2023.1.0.235.1 with the fixes included, to expedite the correction without clie

Who has never been through in the following situation:

I have an application/global configuration that is not and cannot be mapped to a class, but it is necessary to provide a stored procedure so that a report tool using ODBC/JDBC or even using the resultset of IRIS itself, can access the data and generate the report.

In IRIS we have a functionality that allows us to create a query that can be accessed internally and also be exposed as a stored procedure, with our own logic. That functionality is Custom Class Query.

To define a Custom Class Query we must follow these steps (which we can m

Does IRIS products have capability to generate dynamic HL7 message

Good morning,

I was wondering:

Given the following scenario where we have a string where each two items are being splitted by "|" as follows: "squadName|initialLetter"

"Alfa|A|Bravo|B|Charlie|C|Delta|D|Echo|E|Foxtrot|F|Golf|G|Hotel|H|India|I|Juliett|J|Kilo|K|Lima|L|Mike|M|November|N|Oscar|O|Papa|P|Quebec|Q|Romeo|R|Sierra|S|Tango|T|Uniform|U|Victor|V|Whiskey|W|X-ray|X|Yankee|Y|Zulu|Z"

And we would need to generate a String structure like:
 

[
    {
        "number": "number 1",
        "squad": "Alfa",
        "answer": [
            {
                "initialLetter": "A"

Hi Community!

Just want to share with you an exercise I made to create "my own" chat with GPT in Telegram.

It became possible because of two components on Open Exchange: Telegram Adapter by @Nikolay Solovyev and IRIS Open-AI by  @Kurro Lopez 

So with this example you can setup your own chat with ChatGPT in Telegram. 

Let's see how to make it work!

Written in reply to community post for can Python create HL7 Message dynamically.

Pre-requisites and setup

Use an integration enabled namespace.
Note: USER namespace is not enabled for interoperability by default.
If following suggest create a new interoperatibility namespace to explore functionality.

# Switch to
ZN "[Interoperability Namespace Name]"

# Launch interactive Python shell:
Do $SYSTEM.Python.Shell()

Script start

#Load dependencies

import datetime as dt
import uuid

# Cache current time in CCYYMMDDHHMMss format
hl7_datetime_now=dt.datetime.now().strftime('%Y%m%d%H%M%S')

Hi folks!

Is it possible to use Environment variables for production settings?

E.g. I have a telegram adapter for which I need to setup token(part of the production below):

<ItemName="shvarov.i14y.ChatOperation"Category="Reddit"ClassName="Telegram.BusinessOperation"PoolSize="1"Enabled="true"Foreground="false"Comment=""LogTraceEvents="false"Schedule=""><SettingTarget="Adapter"Name="SSLConfig">default</Setting><SettingTarget="Adapter"Name="Token">"some-telegram-token"</Setting></Item>

Is it possible to point the expression for Token setting "some-telegram-token" which will

Could someone direct to any E2E Test Automation solutions for IRIS Data platform product? either proprietary or open source also works

Is there not a way to use the Red Hat 8 install package to do an `irisinstall`? If not, how does one get the IRIS Community .tar.gz file for "Red Hat 9"?

I am having code like this,

set args = []

set resultSet = ##class(%SQL.Statement).%ExecDirect( , sql_whereClause, args)

Instead of placing args[1],args[2] etc into the above I want to pass the whole args at a time if it possible.?

We often get questions about recent and upcoming changes to the list of platforms and frameworks that are supported by the InterSystems IRIS data platform.  This update aims to share recent changes as well as our best current knowledge on upcoming changes, but predicting the future is tricky business and this shouldn’t be considered a committed roadmap. 

With that said, on to the update…

As we said yesterday... our EMPI can receive data from multiple sources, REST, HL7 messaging, etc. But it is possible that the standard fields are not enough and we want to expand the patient information to help discriminate and uniquely identify them. How could we customize patient data? Modifying the standard classes to our liking? NOOOOO!!!! Well, a little yes, but not like crazy, because if we modify standard classes carelessly we may find that in a future update we lose all these modifications.

Customization of patient data

Muy bien, continuemos con la configuración de nuestro EMPI en e

Hello,

I would like to get a list of all globals that have been read or written during a given context. In Portal, there are counters in dashboard that give the number of read/write to globals in general.

What I am looking for : 

- some handler (eg: like $ZTRAP) that will be called everytime something is read/written to a global.

- to activate a "global log mode" in Portal that will dump some information to a file (like ^ISCSOAP for SOAP requests).

I understand this is something that can considerably slow down IRIS, but it's intended to be used only for debbuging and under no load.

As la

I have a repository on github. I wanna setup that repo into my local IRIS instance and also I want to work on different branch and commit those back to the same repo. 
Please help me through this. 
I also have a .DAT file which i think contains code and data and not .git folder. So how can i sync that to my git repo for further development.

Hi, 

Getting the following error when activating a foundation namespace(FHIR Server). Anyone had this issue before:

how can i use git for versioning while working in IRIS. 
I am having directory that i created while working in iris. How can i manage version control using git in this case.

Is it possible with vscode terminal or with a normal terminal in mac.

Is there a reason why calling %ExecDirect() (or %Execute) won't set the %SQLCODE of the result set to 100 even when the query returns no data?

Here is the code in question with a bit of contrivance to force the issue:

set statement = ##class(%SQL.Statement).%New()
set result = ##class(%SQL.Statement).%ExecDirect(statement,"select top 0 0 from Example.Testing")
w result.%SQLCODE

The %SQLCODE is set to 0 in this case. The same happens if I use %Prepare and %Execute, e.g.

set statement = ##class(%SQL.Statement).%New()
set status = statement.%Prepare("select top 0 0 from Example.Testing")
set

Hi there,

Please, could anyone tell me how can I set up VSCode terminal to IRIS terminal? I already saw this working in a video with docker version from IRIS Community. I have the Intersystems Extension Pack and IRIS Community locally installed.

Thanks

Hi folks!

Those who actively use unittests with ObjectScript know that they are methods of instance but not classmethods.

Sometimes this is not very convenient. What I do now if I face that some test method fails I COPY(!) this method somewhere else as classmethod and run/debug it.

Is there a handy way to call the particular unittest method in terminal?  And what is more important, a handy way to debug the test method?

Why do we have unittest methods as instance methods?

Since SELECT ... FOR UPDATE is implemented in many RDBMS as a method of explicit row lock acquisition, I think there are many cases where this function is used.

This syntax is not an error for InterSystems products, but it does not acquire row locks as expected.

This article will show you how to achieve equivalent functionality.

DECLARE CURSOR C1 IS
SELECT Name FROM Person WHERE Name LIKE 'A%' FOR UPDATE
OPEN C1
LOOP FETCH C1 INTO name　
... show name
... EXIT the LOOP when finished
END LOOP
CLOSE C1

The above SQL statement can be substituted with the followi
