Reviewing a client console log, I am finding the message:

Terminal disconnect: The specified network name is no longer available.
 

This message is repeated in the log dozens of times per day over the last month. The client has not raised a concern and our monitoring has not detected any issues with client ops. The client is not aware of any recent changes with their apps. I am not familiar with this message and whether this message is benign or whether there is any action required,

We are currently using different iterations of Ens.Director.EnableConfig items to start/stop objects within the Interoperability Namespace. We are looking for ways to minimize our downtime as we move from AIX to a new section of our Network and Red Hat Servers.

Besides using Ens.Director.EnableConfig item and waiting for a response, or just disabling the objects through the Namespace class file, is there a quicker way to stop Services and Operations to ensure the TCP disconnect is sent to those endpoints so we can move the networking rules to ensure they point to new servers?

Let me introduce my new project, which is irissqlcli, REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop)  for InterSystems IRIS SQL

InterSystems FAQ rubric

You can use the system routine ^DBSIZE to estimate the backup file size (see also Note 1).

^DBSIZE estimates the file size of full, cumulative, and differential backups of the databases selected in the database backup list.

The database backup list is created from [System Administration] > [Configuration] > [Database Backup] > [Database Backup List] in the Management Portal.

For more information, please refer to the document below.

Estimate backup size with ^DBSIZE [IRIS]

Estimate backup size with ^DBSIZE

An execution example is as follows.

I'm trying to write an ObjectScript function that sorts version numbers to help learn ObjectScript. This is all I can think of after staring at VS Code for a while, but I don't know where to go with it. Can someone please help out with a tip? The goal is to take something like ["1.4.5", "0.5.3", "6.3.2", "1.2.4"] and turn it into ["0.5.3", "1.2.4", "1.4.5", "6.3.2"]

ClassMethod SortVersion(input As %String[]) As %String[] {
    Set sorted = []

    for i=1:1:input.%Size() {
        Set version = input.Get(i)

        Set major = $NUMBER($PIECE(version, ".

Several steps should be done in order to secure the connection through xDBC clients to an IRIS Server instance using TLS. Most of the information can be obtained from the documentation about TLS on IRIS here, about configuring the security layer for encrypted connections. In the next paragraphs we will cover an step-by-step guide on how to configure and test the connection using SQL Clients apps using ODBC and JDBC.

Curious if anyone has modified the HL7 TCP/IP Service and adapter class to receive an HL7 message, ACK it, and just dump it straight to a file? I don't want the messages in the engine at all - just receive and dump. Has anyone done this before and have code you're willing to share?

Thank you very much in advance!

Hello everyone,

I am looking for a sort of REST interoperability adapter that can forward REST calls within HealthConnect. If necessary, we need to adjust the requests or responses.

For Fhir calls, we use the FHIR Interoperability Adapter. This works perfectly; a message comes in as HS.FHIRServer.Interop.Request, and a message HS.FHIRServer.Interop.Response goes out. I can make adjustments as needed to both the request and response. I am looking for the same functionality, but then for non-FHIR REST calls.

When I create a web application, the requests come in as %CSP.

In this article, we will establish an encrypted JDBC connection between Tableau Desktop and InterSystems IRIS database using a JDBC driver. While documentation on configuring TLS with Java clients covers all possible topics on establishing an encrypted JDBC connection, configuring it with Tableau might be a little bit tricky, so I decided to write it down.

Securing SuperServer

Before we start with client connections, you need to configure SuperServer, which by default runs on port 1972 and is responsible for xDBC traffic to accept encrypted connections.

Hi Developers,

This April, you've posted 65 new questions on the Developer Community: 

Heading to the InterSystems Global Summit 2023, June 4–7? Attendees can sign up for a free certification exam attempt! See the full exam schedule and registration details.  

Is there any ObjectScript or a basic function that takes a string and separates it into words + punctuation/spaces array/list? Just not to reinvent the wheel. Say, process "It is a test, after all" into "It", space, "is", space, "a", space, "test", ", ", "after", space, "all". Or something to that effect.

I am trying to get SDA3.Container object from a Stream object like following code:

Method HandleECRUpdateRequest(pRequest As CUSTOM.CORE.Message.ECRUpdateRequest, ByRef pResponse As Ens.Response) As %Status
{

               Set tContainer=##Class(HS.SDA3.Container).%New()
               $$$ThrowOnError(tContainer.InitializeXMLParse(pRequest.ContentStream, "SDA3"))
              
               Set tEventDescription=tContainer.EventDescription

But it tContainer seems to be empty. The tEventDescription is set to empty. I need work on the whole HS.SDA3.

I need to list the calls from all business service/processes (DTL, BPL and code)  - either to another business process or a business operation. i assume this is possible, as they can draw the lines on a production diagram so imagine there must be a way to do it but im scratching my head.    Any help appreciated...

I did some experiments on my local machine and found out that IRIS seems to associate each request (eg: CSP request) to a dedicated process named IrisDB.exe

This process has 3 threads, and one of them seems to be the main working thread (that will the handle request).

If I spawn many concurrent requests, the number of IrisDB processes on my local machine will grow (to make sure each request can be handled in parallel).

It seems there is a limit : it will create no more than 64 processes to handle requests (eg: even if 100 concurrent requests are send to IRIS).

Hey Developers,

Enjoy watching the new video on InterSystems Developers YouTube:

⏯ Breaking Data Silos Through Strategic Healthcare Partnerships @ Global Summit 2022

Creating your own commands or shortcut is one of the strongest features of ObjectScript
If you create your own Language Extensions to ObjectScript you mostly have to find the
proper %ZLANGC00 or %ZLANGV00 or %ZLANGF00 and add the extensions manually.

A few utilities do it already automatically (ZPM, ZME, ..)
This utility allows you to add your extensions also programmatically.

• eg. at first run, or during installation I found this quite useful for my Docker-based demos as it all happens at start time.

This package includes a demo example to visualize the operation of this

In this article we are going to demonstrate the great potential that IRIS/HealthConnect makes available to all its users with the use of Embedded Python and we are going to do it by developing a small production that will allow us to recognize and identify the faces present in a JPG file from some images that we will use as a reference.

Project configuration:

Let us begin! We have published the entire application in OpenExchange so that you only need to download and deploy it in Docker as you can read in the associated README file.

Hey Community,

Here is a digest of the Developer Community videos on InterSystems Developers YouTube Channel in April 2023:

I deployed the IRIS container on my Mac M1 Docker Desktop Kubernetes cluster:

I limited the container 1.5Gb memory:

In the "merge.cpf" file I constrained IRIS memory usage aspects:

Now I load-test the container by multiple installing  and uninstalling the %ZPM package:

• install ZPM (zpm-installer.routine and execution):
