How to check if the password is strong enough, so it will not be cracked very fast? And how to make a strong password?

I've developed a tool that may help with this. You can find it on OpenExchange. Install it with zpm

zpm "install passwords-tool"

This module will install just one class caretdev.Passwords, which contains a few helpful methods in it

Secure Password

To get a secure password it's usually enough to use letters in upper and lower case, digits, and special symbols, and it should be at least 8 symbols long.

I'm looking for guidance on how best to normalize Height and Weight values to standard units. For example, to accept height as Feet/Inches, Inches, and Centimeters from various sources, but always display Feet/Inches in Clinical Viewer, etc.

If anyone has done this before, please share details of how it was implemented. Things I'd be specifically interested in:

1. Did you normalize on ingestion into the Edge Gateway, or on consumption by an Access Gateway or API?
2. Using what configuration settings, code hooks, callbacks, etc.?
3. How did you implement recognition of the source coding

Let's consider you would like to efficiently store your historical data in a similar structure than the one used for your current data, but without sharing the same physical storage (ie : not in the same global). What is the most efficient way to do it ?

Below a simple class of your current data : 

Class data.current.person Extends (%Persistent, %Populate)
{
Parameter DEFAULTGLOBAL = "^on.

If one of your packages on OEX receives a review you get notified by OEX only own YOUR package.  The rating reflects the experience of the reviewer with the status found at the time of review.  It is kind of a snapshot and might have changed meanwhile.

• Provide request body

Is it possible? How?

Can you please provide ORM Sample HL7  for Version 2.8.2?

Also, give me all the HL7 Versions supported list for ORM message type.

Hey Community,

Enjoy watching the new video on InterSystems Developers YouTube channel:

Hi Developers!

Suppose you want to create your ObjectScript library to be distributed via ObjectScript Package Manager. And there is an obvious question: what is the naming convention on the packages and class names?

Naming packages and classnames

There is already some accepted practice with package managers and we will follow the best practices in this field. The most reasonable and simple looks the approach with having company as the first package then project as the second and then classes and subpackages of the project.

Hi developers!

As you probably noticed in IRIS 2021 the names of globals are random.

And if you create IRIS classes with DDL and want to be sure what global was created you probably would want to provide a name.

And indeed you can do it. 

Use WITH %CLASSPARAMETER DEFAULTGLOBAL='^GLobalName' in CREATE Table to make it work. Documentation. See the example below:

Python is 31 today ; let’s celebrate it 🎂 

And special thanks to Guido van Rossum 

Creating REST API using InterSystems ObjectScript is very easy, but some recipes can help you into this process:

1) To create your REST API extends %CSP.REST and Go to System Administration > Security > Applications > Web Applications > Click the button Create New Web Application and set the Name, REST Dispatch Class with your package and classname and choose the Allowed Authetication Methods. See this example:

 

Edit Web Application

2) Configure your REST API using ZPM configuration. To do this follow this sample (watch the tag <CSPApplication>):

Hi Community,

•  Use of Python plotting from IRIS

•  Use of Jupyter Notebook

•  Introduction to Data Science, Data Plotting and Data Visualization.

•  QR Code generator from python.

If one of your packages on OEX receives a review you get notified by OEX only on YOUR package.
It reflects my experience with the status I found at the time of my review.

After invoking a SOAP call in a SOAP Outbound Adapter Operation, how do we get the header information? For example, the HTTP 200 response code.

In SoapUI we can read the header information, but we're trying to view it in Production.

In the class HS.Util.Zip.Operations the OnInit method does a get value for ZipUtility, ZipCommand, UnZipCommand.

What is not clear in documentation is where/how those key/values are set.  Any assistance would be appreciated.

Method OnInit() As %Status
{
                If (##class(HS.Registry.Config).GetKeyValue("\ZipUtility\ZipCommand")="") || (##class(HS.Registry.Config).

This post provides guidelines for configuration, system sizing and capacity planning when deploying IRIS and IRIS on a VMware ESXi. This post is based on and replaces the earlier IRIS-era guidance and reflects current VMware and InterSystems recommendations.

Last update Jan 2026. These guidelines are a best effort, remember requirements and capabilities of VMware and IRIS can change.

I jump right in with recommendations assuming you already have an understanding of VMware vSphere virtualization platform.

Hello everyone. I present this project to the contest. The export module is essential in many of my projects and is often used in all my product servers.

I have implemented various scenarios in the invoke attribute initialization module, both maximalistic with many additional projects to demonstrate in GCR , and minimalistic to install natively in production instance

zpm "install appmsw-sql2xlsx -Dzpm.demo=none"

To demonstrate the possibilities, I used the fileserver and csvgen projects.

Hi Community, we continue to gather feedback about Data Loading & Packaging. In particular, we're interested in hearing your impressions on some of the new capabilities added with InterSystems IRIS 2021.2  We'll be using this feedback to improve InterSystems IRIS, so please feel free to share any details and feedback:

>> Link to the survey (14 questions, 5 min) <<

Note: this is the same survey we already published during the contest, on Global Masters and Discord. If you already participated, you don't have to do it again. Thank you for the feedback! 

Hey developers!

Sometimes we need to insert or refer to the data of classes directly in globals.

And maybe a lot of you expect that data structure of global with records is:

^Sample.Person(Id)=$listbuild("",col1,col2,...,coln).

And this article is a heads up, that this is not always true, don't expect it as granted!

Hi all,

I am trying to use a %Status property on some of my Response classes. If the execution of a service goes wrong, I set the %Status property on Response with the value $$$ERROR($$$GeneralError, "pre-defined error message"). 

When I check the visual trace for this message and look for the %Status (property "status_code" on the image), it is displayed like this:

If I select to display the Body of the Response, I get the 'readable' form of %Status:

According to the documentation, this is expected as %Status properties are encoded in base64 during Projection to XML.

UPDATE:  Developer Preview 7 has been released.

Update 7 includes a number of stability improvements over previous updates and support for support for all of the planned 2022.1 features.  If you notice any problems at all, now's the time to let us know.  The docker pull commands below have been updated with the latest build numbers.  Enjoy!

Hey Developers, 

In this video, you will learn how to use VS Code with Python: 

⏯ Using VS Code with Python

Hello fellows, I need you wisdom.

In my organization we code in ObjectScript and .int everyday. When I joined nobody knew barely nothing about classes and their use was almost only for storage definition purpose. During my self-learning in caché I discovered the object oriented programming and class developing was possible in caché and started to code in .cls . Being something self-taught, I may have some basic doubts I'd have missed in my documentation readings.

Installed the IRIS in my local machine but not able to launch management portal.

LS,

Is there a samples on how to create the OAuth2 server from code? Now trying:
 

I am using a Gradle Project for testing APIs, but I need to connect to the database.

I already put this on the dependencies:

And I'm trying to use this way:

But I'm keep getting this error: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.intersys.jdbc.CacheDriver  

Is there any place that I can put a JAR file? Because the project has no lib folder (I already tried to add it, but it doesn't work).
