Hi Community,

I have a problem I am hoping someone can help with - I have created a front-end with HTML/CSS/JS in a CSP page in Iris Studio. I am trying to use objectscript on the back end to connect to a SQL Server Database (with valid credentials), and execute a stored procedure.

I have a fileList variable that is a stored as a comma separated string through a user input textBoxContainer. This is to be used as a parameter in the stored procedure called @Docs

Hello,

When setting up a new web app in iris (iris is in a container) iris complains that a WSGI framework is not installed. I have installed python into the container as well as both flask and django via the python virtual environment (see second screenshot) and the python language server is running

Is this the wrong way to install flask? How do I get the container version to recoginize that flask is installed?

XDBC memory leaks

I have a business service that actively reads data from a remote Postgres database. OnProcessInput opens a XDBC (actually JDBC) connection, executes an SQL query, fetches several thousand rows, iterates the resultset, and closes the connection. On each iteration I also need to update each source row in the remote database using PreparedStatement.

In other words, in every OnProcessInput call I have a long running SELECT statement and several thousands small UPDATE statements.

The problems I'm facing are:

Hi everyone,

I am trying to create a treeMapChart in IRIS BI that will then be displayed on my DeepSeeWeb dashboard. In the IRIS BI User Portal, this is an example of what my treeMapChart looks like:

I know there is a huge amount of rectangles in this graphic - I care most about the common components (the largest boxes) but I still want all of the boxes to show. However, it projects to my DeepSeeWeb dashboard as the following:

Vector Search Performance

Test Objectives

InterSystems has been testing Vector Search since it was announced as an “experimental feature” in IRIS 2024.1. The first test cycle was aimed at identifying algorithmic inefficiencies and performance constraints during the Development/QD cycle. The next test cycle used simple vector searches for single threaded performance analysis to model reliable, scalable and performant behaviour at production database scale in IRIS, and performed a series of comparative tests of key IRIS vector search features against PostgreSQL/pgvector. The current test cycle models the expected behaviour of real-world customer deployments using complex queries that span multiple indices (vector and non-vector) and run in up to 1000 concurrent threads. These tests will be run against IRIS, PostgreSQL/pgvector, and ElasticSearch

Hello,

One of our clients has a 'Notes' class with over 3 million records. We have a report that pulls data from this table that was taking about an hour to run. Our test environment (which has a copy of the production database) runs the same report query in 1 second.

We attempted to purge and rebuild indices which made an improvement (down to 15 minutes) but still not great.

Hi all,

I'm working on a requirement to loop through all encounter streamlets(SDA) to identify specific encounters based on an encounter extension property for a patient fetch request. However, this current process is time-consuming, and we need to create indexes for that property to quickly retrieve the expected results without going through all the encounter streamlets of a patient.

I would appreciate help on how to achieve this, as I couldn't find any documentation explaining how to create indexes on a SDA element.

Thanks in advance.

I have created a New Database/Namespace within our TEST environment on both the Primary and Backup of the mirror. When I go to create the database/namespace on the DR node I am getting "Cannot open file '/ensemble/TEST/iris.cpf_...." while the cpf file that it references does not exist. Anyone have any clue to why this might be happening?

Trying to start investigating an error we are seeing with multiple of the same messages getting sent to the same vendor. We receive an HL7 message with an RTF embedded from our EMR, send it through a DTL to just update the Patient Class, and then send it onto the Operation which is TCP.

We are starting to see this error message...
