Hi folks,

I am announcing a new package I have loaded on the OEX, which I am also planning on entering into the contest this month.

In a nutshell, what it offers you are the following.

  • Base classes to use on Persistent (table) classes for InterSystems IRIS to keep record history  
  • These classes enable the historizing of persistent class records into another persistent class when touched.  
  • This provides for a full history of any record. 
  • It allows for record rollback to a specific version.  
  • It can automatically purge old history records.

Do you need it?

Have you ever had the scen

Messages.log file contains lots of useful information about IRIS. Sometimes the file gets big, and it is not easy to get to the data I am interested to review. It would be nice to jump to a specific date and time we suspect a problem may have started.

Whenever I need support from InterSystems, WRC will ask to send them messages.log file. Dependent on where IRIS is deployed, it may be cumbersome to obtain messages.log file for sending it to InterSystems.

My team works on deploying IRIS containers in Kubernetes in the cloud. We have jump servers we log in to so we can connect to the bast

Hi! recently I have to apply api-key validation to a web app with a lot of endpoints and I'm going to tell you how I did it in a centralized way.

I'm going to explain you how we can apply in a generic way (or not) api-key validation to all the endpoints of our web app.

For this feature I take as a template the class Base.cls of this repository iris-rest-api-template

I modified a bit this class to be able to check api-key security. The idea is that in your features you copy this class in your projects and you extend it for your own implementations.

First I did was add a new

Hi Community,

In the first part, we describe all packages, used libraries and REST services.

Now, I would like to add some details about converter and validator services.

By default, OpenAPI-Suite sends an HTTP request to converter.swagger.io if the specification version is less than 3.0 and another HTTP request to validator.swagger.io to simplify the structure of the specification document.  

Although the usage of online utilities is convenient, in some cases it could be better to have our own instance of the converter and validator.  For example, if OpenAPI-Suite is provided on a server in an organisation for ObjectScript developers, it may be preferable to avoid requests to external services (privacy, avoid request rate limits). 

Just run: 

docker run -d -p 8085:8080 --name swagger-converter swaggerapi/swagger-converter:latest
docker run -d -p 8086:8080 --name swagger-validator-v2 swaggerapi/swagger-validator-v2:latest

Hi Community,

Please read this when you have the time and keep an open mind. Also, you are welcome to tell me it is a terrible idea.

The main reason for this post

If you look at NPM, it has 1.3 million packages. Now ask yourself, is this an achievement or a nightmare?
How many of those packages are no longer supported?
How many of those packages break compatibility on version changes?
How do you know which one to use?

I just released an update of the gj :: codeSpex extension containing a new feature - Exclusions.

There's now a short video demonstrating how exclusions can help you focus on the packages you're less familiar with. The video also illustrates how with the ObjectScript Class View extension you can easily explore the inheritance of your classes.

Both extensions are members of the DX Jetpack, my entry in the 2023 Developer Tools contest. Voting closes very soon, so if you like what I've created please encourage me to do more by VOTING FOR ME here.

I've been trying for a while now to get OS authentication working on IRIS running on Ubuntu 20.04 and subsequently 22.04. I have the following authentication methods enabled for %Service_Terminal:

  • Operating System
  • Password
  • Operating System Delegated Authorization

And i have these options selected in Authentication/Web Session Options:

But when logging in via iris session <instancename> I am always prompted for a username and password. I am logged into the operating system with a username that matches my IRIS username, and the same configuration and login method works fine on Red Hat

Overview

With the gradual improvement of hospital information construction, there are more and more business interfaces in hospitals. Due to the influence of various factors (network, consumer system, etc.), the data processing of business interface may cause excessive message accumulation and even the situation of interface card congestion, which affects the normal business development in the hospital. Therefore, the monitoring of the queue of business interface components becomes more and more important.

Hi folks!

I'm playing with IRIS interoperability at the moment and it turned out that Data Transformation cannot be the element of production by itself.

It can be called either from data rule or from business process.

But why? 

What if I just want to change the message with the transformation and transfer the message somewhere else? Why the overhead with Rule or Business process?
