Recent versions of IRIS come with Lite Terminal available from VSCode. It's a websocket server, with JSON messaging. Here's how to connect to it from Python:

import websocket
import argparse
import requests
import json


defterminal(host, port, namespace, username, password, command, secure):
    session = requests.Session()
    r = session.get(f"http{"s"if secure else""}://{host}:{port}/api/atelier/", auth=(username, password))
    cookies = session.cookies.get_dict()
    ws = websocket.WebSocket()
    ws.connect(f"ws{"s"if secure else""}://{host}:{port}/api/atelier/v8/%25SYS

We use the Caché JDBC Gateway to Oracle and SQL servers to directly invoke their stored procedures from Ensemble. Getting quick, inline data results back are typically handled within the Functions.Library class as a function to wrap the query and format the return appropriately.

But what about more elaborate stored procedures made for posting data without log-jamming a Router?  The operations to construct those data pipelines can get tedious, especially when changes are needed.  What follows is a code generator to make a new Ensemble Message class from a SQL Stored Procedure that is compatibl

Hey everyone,

I'm just seeking some guidance and confirmation on what I'm doing for my production health monitoring.

We utilize Grafana to have reporting/monitoring dashboards and I have made a REST API to query the health of our productions. I believe I have everything figured out except for one thing that I'm uncertain about and that is the Production Item Color indicators:

Is there an easy way of being able to figure out the status of an item with the legend above? Ideally, I'd like to have this data in my JSON response. I did toy around with the idea of doing a bunch of checks like "i

Hi developers!

In a method I need to return a result as a dynamic object aka JSON Object. And here is my logic:

Classmethod Planets() as%DynamicObject {

 set val1="Jupiter"
 set val2="Mars"// this doesn't work! cannot compile
 return {"value1":val1, "value2":val2}

}

So I need to do the following:

Classmethod Planets() as%DynamicObject {

 set val1="Jupiter"
 set val2="Mars"
 set result={}

 set result.value1=val1

 set result.value2=val2

 return result

}

The second case works. Maybe I'm preparing the Dynamic Object in the wrong way? Can we just use variables insi

Hey everyone.

I have a web service which is receiving XML as a stream, and I'm intending to then correlate the stream into an object. Unfortunately I am hitting a road block where the sender places a large chunk of the XML within a cdata block which is then causing the correlate of %XML.Reader to not work.

The structure of my xml is along the lines of:

<abc><def>010203</def><ghi>040506</ghi><jkl><mno><pqr>070809</pqr><stu>101112</stu></mno></jkl></abc>

Hello everyone. I'm currently working on how to implement a solution that makes it possible to include within the response of a BusinessOperation the "RetryCount" for each message.
For Example, we have this message that was retried twice:
This is an HL7.message going through a specific business operation, we did not create a custom one: we used the default implementation EnsLib.HL7.Operation.TCPOperation. This operation should automatically handle retries (infinetely waiting on a response). I found out each Business Operation has this property :

Hello Team,

I am trying to duplicate the production flow in the Ensemble 2018 but after doing all the steps (like copying same class file, adapter file, process class file) as production, still the flow is not working. The error is that it is not reaching the operation (which is supposed to store the data), it gets stuck in the processes. Additionally, I am also trying to add a logic where in OUL message if the value of code 20061 > 30mg, it should automatically send another order back to service (OML). So the flow will be, Device -> Service->Processes->Operation(DB Store)->Process(ACK and di

Hello, I am trying to get some fields from HL7 message and create a file using BPL.  The values I need are in a repeating segment (AIG).  Even in the repeating segment, I just want the iteration that has a certain field (AIG:3 populated).  With the help of documentation and community posts, I was able to create the BPL to loop through all of AIG and create the file.  But when I try to narrow the results even further (AIG:3 present), the process gets stuck.  I am not sure I am missing anything or have anything incorrectly set up.  Also, since the process gets stuck, it doesn't even seem to hit

IRIS can use a KMS (Key Managment Service) as of release 2023.3.  Intersystems documentation is a good resource on KMS implementation but does not go into details of the KMS set up on the system, nor provide an easily followable example of how one might set this up for basic testing.

The purpose of this article is to supplement the docs with a brief explanation of KMS, an example of its use in IRIS, and notes for setup of a testing system on AWS EC2 RedHat Linux system using the AWS KMS.  It is assumed in this document that the reader/implementor already has access/knowledge to set up an AWS EC2 Linux system running IRIS (2023.3 or later), and that they have proper authority to access the AWS KMS and AWS IAM (for creating roles and polices), or that they will be able to get this access either on their own or via their organizations Security contact in charge of their AWS access.

Hi,

I want to consume an API that provides HL7 messages. To achieve this, I have thought of the following workflow:

I have created a business service that periodically triggers a business process. The trigger request is forwarded to a business operation. There, a %Net.HttpRequest is assembled from scratch and then sent to the API endpoint. The corresponding HttpResponse then contains several HL7 messages encoded in UTF-8 in the message body. To further process the HL7 messages, the operation sends the HttpResponse back to the business process as EnsLib.HTTP.GenericMessage.
