We have a custom FTP Service , and custom FTP adapter . Customization is just to find a duplicate file and for giving specific dynamic file spec pattern.
While running and polling for files, we are getting this error. Could you please help ? What's the issue and how to resolve it ?
ERROR <Ens>ErrFTPListFailed: FTP: Failed List for <FileName> (msg='Cache error in 'readResponse': <READ>zreadResponse+4^%Net.FtpSession.1',code=426)
I searched to see if there was a previous question on this, but I didn't quite find anything. Please link if you think this has been answered before (I have a feeling it has): what are the barriers to source control using Cache 2018 and Studio?
I'm trying to figure out how to create a local repository but I can't access the folder structure in the USER namespace for my local instance. If I could, it would be as simple as navigating there in Git Bash and doing a 'git init' and then I can push changes to a remote repo for control.
Hi Developers,
We want to sum up the results of 2020 and meet 2021 together with you!

This was a very unusual, strange, dangerous, online year. A year full of politics, courage, diseases and deaths, new life-changing technologies, and innovations.
This was a unique year for the Developer Community too – for the first time we had a 100% virtual global summit, we introduced series of online contests and we are doing regular online meetups – this is all new and all this is already a part of our life.
This year we introduced the Japanese and the Portuguese Communities in addition to the English and the Spanish ones, and we are waiting for the Chinese community to join!
We have a webserver which is using a port different to 443 for HTTPS communication. I can connect from the terminal session but not via the EnsLib.HTTP.OutboundAdapter.
the example used in Terminal:
set httprequest=##class(%Net.HttpRequest).%New()
set httprequest.Server="appserver"
set httprequest.Port="4999"
set httprequest.Https=1
set httprequest.SSLConfiguration="app server"
do httprequest.SetHeader("Custom","cust")
set httprequest.ContentType="application/json"
do httprequest.EntityBody.CopyFrom(jsonfile)
do httprequest.Post("/FHIR/Bundle")And this is my method using the EnsLib.
How to convert date and time into CCYYMMDDHHMMSS format??
For example the date and time format is 12/10/2019 21:41
Hi All,
In earlier cache version, I can see full data values in SQL management portal.
But IRIS restricted the view only to 100 chars.
"If the data in a field is longer than 100 characters, the first 100 characters of the data are displayed followed by an ellipsis (...) indicating additional data." - From Documentation.
Is there a way to change this behavior ? I would like to see all the values in the particular SQL field.
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
I am trying to delete a HL7 standard schema i created by mistake however when i select delete in Studio i get the following:
.png)
The xml is as below:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <Category name="WYT.2.4" std="1">...
i then remove the std so it becomes:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <Category name="WYT.2.4">...
Then i get the error:
.png)
I have also tried exporting and importing the schema with the std part removed but still get an error.
We have IRIS 2020.1.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Graham
A simple question: View Global Data page shows globals always in ascending subscript order. Very often I need to see latest page, is there any trick for this?
Update: I mean to see last subscripts in Management Portal, not using the code
I have a transformation that the incoming schema is an XML file and I will need to write multiple HL7 transactions. Is there anyway to do this?
Hi
We receive an HL7 order message into our integration engine containing OBX segments. I would like to create a PDF file and take the values from all instances of OBX-5 in the message and write them to that PDF file, which I would then like to embed into an outgoing message to another system.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Frances

Hi Community,
Learn how to use validation tools in InterSystems IRIS to assess and validate the behavior of a production:
There are couple of options to do this.
1. You can extend your class &JSON.Adaptor, it will do it for you with inbuilt logicaldtodisplay methods
2. Create another request class and do your transformations
3. Before calling the json convert to stream methods, transform the object's field with a ZDT.

I have implemented a web service that inherit from %SOAP.WebService
It exposes classes with string properties :
Class Employee Extends (%RegisteredObject, %XML.Adaptor) [ ProcedureBlock ]
{
Parameter XMLNAME = "Employee";
Parameter XMLSEQUENCE = 1;
Property FirstName As %String(MAXLEN = "", XMLNAME = "FirstName") [ Required ];
Property LastName As %String(MAXLEN = "", XMLNAME = "LastName") [ Required ];
...Here is the issue: those properties are filled from a huge Caché database which contains forbidden XML characters (usually control characters in the 0-31

Hi all,
I added an additional shard node to an existing shard by accident.
After the add, it can not be removed and query from the master shard now fails. I did not find any data from shard master in the shard node.
How to recover it and remove the shard node from the shard master?
Thanks.
Hi guys.
That time I'll show you a way to use a machine learning model implemented using IntegradeML as source for an IRIS analytics cube dimension.
Creating the ML model:
Execute this SQL in order to create a new ML model using IntegratedML SQL extension:
CREATE MODEL AppointmentsPredection
PREDICTING (Show)
FROM (SELECT
Canal,
CreacionDate,
CreacionHora,
Edad,
Especialidad,
Latencia,
ReservaDate,
ReservaHora,
Sexo,
Tipo
FROM dc_myapp_model.MedicalAppointments
Now, you can train you model:
TRAIN MODEL AppointmentsPredection FROM dc_myapp_model.The question has come up several times and I saw mixed answers and no quick example
My personal preference is using CPIPE device as you get back exactly the output you will get at the command line interface of your OS .
The tricky thing is to stop reading in time.
The example just displays what you normally see in your console.
it becomes useful if you look for things that you can't get from any $system.whatever()
e.g.
- your servers IP address or addresses depending on your configuration.
Hi developers!

Good day, Developer Community!
As you know we have Company listings on Open Exchange. It lets publishing Open Exchange applications on behalf of companies so one can check which solutions in certain industries are being provided by companies.
Sometimes people are also looking for qualitative and proven implementation or consulting services on InterSystems products: IRIS, Caché, Ensemble, or HealthShare.
And recently we introduced a new option on Open Exchange to list the services your company provides related to InterSystems technology: implementation, consulting etc.
How to do that?
Open your company profile in the Services tab and create a service. Choose the type of service and give a description of what the service is about and why it is worth ordering it. Instructions.
Then publish the service by sending it for approval.

The InterSystems IRIS has two major paths to a digital service: API/Web Service into Interoperability module and multimodel Database/Analytics. Each of them has your security configuration.
To do API security you apply an OAuth or JWT plug-in to the API endpoint. So in the Admin Portal, API producer and consumers get the keys to authenticate the API and consume it. The Admin Portal allows you configure RBAC policies too.
To do WS security the best strategy is to use SAML. In the inbound/outbound SOAP message, include X.
Did you know that you can get IRIS Analytics features as an REST API?
In this article I'll show some endpoints of IRIS Analytics Business Intelligence REST API, used in my project iris-analytics-notebook to create a pivot table component in Angular.
