Hi folks!

We have a bunch of templates on OEX that provide a handy foundation for building a particular application with IRIS.  And the basic principle of each and every template is that we take vanilla IRIS images, load code, and files into the image using Dockerfile, and create a new docker image as a solution. And then we develop running this image and rebuilding it when returning to development.

Some developers ask me why we need to build the docker image to work with the code. Indeed, if at the end of the day I need to develop a ZPM package and not a docker image why don't run the vanilla image and load the code and everything in it? 

The problem I have with the building image approach is that often I can wait a lot to build an image and it fails on some Objectscript problem in the source that I cannot fix as the image is not building. and 

Any thoughts? How do you develop with docker?

Hi Developers,

Python has a large and powerful ecosystem that contains thousands of libraries and packages available, especially in data science.

Therefore, I wanted to have a first try in using a recent feature of IRIS called Embedded Python, to simply import a python library called datetime, generate data with a timestamp component and persist it in InterSystems IRIS for Health Data Platform. The same will work on IRIS Data Platform as well.

Hi ,

I am trying to transform CSV file into SDA3 format by using Studio code. I am getting "No Stream contained in StreamContainer Request" Error at the business operation after converting CSV file to SDA3 Format but not able to generate the file in business operation 

I have a production that takes in an HL7 message thru a business service. The business service passes the incoming HL7 message to a business process that calls a transform to transform the HL7 message to a message class. After the transform is finished, the business process uses a code block to pass the object created by the transform to a method class that processes the data in the object. What would be the correct syntax for passing in the object to the class method?

In the business process, the source for the transform is the request and the target is context.SurgeryData  where context.

Where is there documentation for syntax used for setting condition in a BPL <if>?   

e.g.    "D55^Z73^7" [ context.PIDAssigningAuthorityID

Hello,

I'm looking for a way to write a stored procedure or something to return a ResultSet with Embedded Python.

My goal is the following:

I have a Goal table with a Text field that is free text.

CREATETable Goal (
    Idint,
    TextVARCHAR(5000)
);

I would like to create a procedure that returns all the entities (in the iKnow sense) in a new Entity column.

Python code, i would like to use :

import iknowpy

engine = iknowpy.iKnowEngine()

# Row to parse
text = 'This is a test of the Python interface to the iKnow engine. another sentence to test this program with.'
engine.

Let's meet the Team! These are the people that make the magic happen ✨

Welcome to the next chapter of my CI/CD series, where we discuss possible approaches toward software development with InterSystems technologies and GitLab.

Today, let's talk about interoperability.

Issue

When you have an active interoperability production, you have two separate process flows: a working production that processes messages and a CI/CD process flow that updates code, production configuration and system default settings.

Clearly, CI/CD process affects interoperability. But questions are:

• What exactly happens during an update?
• What do we need to do to minimize or eliminate production downtime during an update?

Trying to identify which records in the %SYS.Audit table are fails.

Eg, as user "WORKER", I run an attempted a grant, the terminal returns:

SQL> GRANT SELECT ON newschema.patients TO COORDINATOR
[S1000][Iris ODBC][State : S1000][Native Code 112]
[libirisodbc35.so]
[SQLCODE: <-112>:<Access violation>]
[Location: <ServerLoop>]
[%msg: <User WORKER does not have required privileges to grant the privilege(s)>]
[ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLExecute
 

but the record in the audit table gives

Description: "SQL GRANT Statement"

EventData: "GRANT SELECT ON newschema.

As the title says, when I use the "Go To Definition (F12)" option, it opens the definition in read only mode. Is there some way to either directly make the go to option editable or can i turn the read only version into an editable version? I end up needing to open the file directly and then manually going to the method definition myself.

For quite some time InterSystems IRIS supports such thing as Merging CPF. So, with help of this it should be possible to define only desired changes in configuration. And get them applied even with vanilla Docker image. 

And I though it could be useful when used with Dockerfile. Use this way to configure IRIS during docker build instead of using Installer manifest.

Hi Guys,

I'm able make a request through the browser with no issues as below: 

Hello guys,

I'm trying to install HealthShare on a virtual machine. The original language of this virtual machine was Russian, unfortunately I don't speak Russian hehehehe.
So I changed the original language to English, but when I installed HealthShare the portal was in English, but the terminal was in Russian and during installation it doesn't show me any option to select the language.

1. Language configurated in the virtual machine.

2. Terminal with russian text.

I tried to convert the system to English, and this worked for the terminal.

Hello,

i receiving several mails via "EmailInboundAdapter” and sending via "EmailOutboundAdapter"

Now Microsoft will force OAuth 2.0 for Outlook365-Mails and want to drop POP3 basic authentication permanetly at Oct/1 2022. All have to use OAuth 2.0 then.

IRIS documentation is very tiny for OAuth 2.0: https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cl…

A new paramter for a token is defined for "%Net.POP3.Connect()". But the token got only on authenication calls using ClientID and ClientSecret (last one valid for maximum 24 months).

While the documentation of configuring authentication with Kerberos for IRIS on Linux servers is sparse, for docker i found no docs at all. Assuming I would be able to adapt the requirements from linux to docker (on linux host) I had no success at all. Has anyone successfully done this?

Even with "do ^REDEBUG" set to FFFFFFFF the log did not help much, I always get "Kerberos error getting initial credentials with password; KDC reply did not match expectations". Since I moved the iris.

If I'm using an objectgenerator, is there a way to check the compile flags and have it behave differently based on which flags are set?

And as a tangent, is there a list somewhere of what compile flags there are?

Hey Community,

Summer (or winter ) is over and it's time to reflect on what's been going on here, in the Developer Community... To make it easier to follow the main novelties and news we've decided to create seasonal catching-up posts!

What does it mean? Read on!

Is it possible to tell the program to read commands & other inputs from a file and when it reaches end of file

return control back to the physical terminal?

Following "Adding Custom HL7 FHIR packages to the HL7 FHIR server" at https://learning.intersystems.com/course/view.php?id=1721 I'm able to create an FHIR extension of type string as well as a search parameter.

However, I need to create an extension as well as a search parameter of type Reference. And this is not working.

Did anyone successfully add an extension and search parameter of type Reference?

Hi,

My routine contains embedded SQL including this:

Hi Community,
In this article, I will introduce Python Flask Web Framework. Together we will create a minimal web application to connect to IRIS and get data from it.
Below you can find the steps we will need to follow:

• Step 1 : Introduction to Python Flask Web Framework
• Step 2 : Installation of Flask module
• Step 3 : Creation of web application using Flask
• Step 4 : Use of HTML Templates 
• Step 5 : Installation of IRIS Python Native module
• Step 6 : Establishment of a connection with IRIS 
• Step 7 : Transferring data from IRIS to Flask and displaying it

So Let's start with step 1

Step1-Introduction to Python Flask Web Framework 

Flask is a small and lightweight Python web framework that provides useful tools and features that make creating web applications in Python easier. It gives developers flexibility and is a more accessible framework for new developers since it allows to build a web application quickly using only a single Python file. Flask is also extensible and doesn’t requires a particular directory structure or complicated boilerplate code before getting started.

For more details please view Flask Documentations

In this article I'll show you how you can easily convert between many different document formats, these to be precise:

• in: html, odt, doc, docx, rtf, sdw, txt...
• out: html, odt, docx, rtf, pdf, txt, tex, xhtml...

and many more, check out this table. We'll use LibreOffice as a conversion engine.
