Hi all. Yesterday I tried to connect Apache Spark, Apache Zeppelin, and InterSystems IRIS. During the process, I experienced troubles connecting it all together and I did not find a useful guide. So, I decided to write my own.

Introduction

What is Apache Spark and Apache Zeppelin and find out how it works together. Apache Spark is an open-source cluster-computing framework. It provides an interface for programming entire clusters with implicit data parallelism and fault tolerance. So, it is very useful when you need to work with Big Data.

Hi ,

I have a code written in cache  sql and trying to understand it, below is the code , can anyone help me understand what does that mean 

ex - !! dosage_unit !!

SELECT (CASE WHEN (order_description IS NULL OR (order_description='')) THEN '' ELSE (order_description) END) !! (CASE WHEN (dosage IS NULL OR dosage_unit IS NULL OR (dosage='') OR (dosage_unit='')) THEN '' ELSE (', ' !! dosage !! ' ' !! dosage_unit !!

Thank You in advance.

Good Day;

looking at disabling Telnet - on Windows - Cache 2012,2017. The security scans don't need it on network.

But still leave users able to use `Terminal - direct - on the box should be fine.

am posting here for quick refs (as this is a common security vulnerability out there).

Hi everyone,

I have a javascript function in *.js file. This function has to access to variable set by server.

I've tried setting the variable in *.js like this;

function dummy(){

var myText = '#(myText)#';

}

However it seems like the webserver doesn't understand this coding convention. The js file sent back to client set myText in dummy() with the hard-value #(myText)#. It's not the value of myText variable in server side.

I know I can achieve this by putting dummy() directly in csp file. However I have to put dummy() in separated file, so that other files can use it.

Hello,

Has anybody successfully taken a recordmap business service to business operation integration and converted it into a Batch pipeline?  I am trying to wrap my head around the documentation (https://cedocs.intersystems.com/latest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=EGDV_recmap_batch) and cant seem to get this to the finish line, what I end up with is publishing a batch record with exactly one record in it in real-time while when I really want to excersise the RollOver limit of about 50 records.  I have no requirement for fancy headers or trailers, just multiple records.

Hi, 

I know there are several alternatives, but I would like to find the easiest & simpler ones to store data coming in Json format from post requests and also allowing me to do SQL queries. 

I want to have a property called favouriteColors. I want to store a few colors, and I want to be able to do queries to get top favorite colors, etc.

I am using the SOAP Wizard in Studio to try to read in a WSDL file that is physically on our HealthShare server.    I keep getting the same error:

As I am not trying to connect via HTTP ( and I don't see anywhere to add an SSL connection), I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

Any suggestions & solutions gratefully accepted.

Hi,

I was wondering if there were any guides, similar to the ones for an upgrade, that walkthrough at a high/medium level the process for migrating an Ensemble Instance.

I am presuming that the general flow would be to install a fresh instance in the target environment, and migrate items over.. but any specific order? gotchas? things to avoid? Some things that should/shouldn't be im/exported (ie, must be manually migrated) ?

Doing some googling I found this page, and i have confirmed I don't need Endian xlation or DB Extent

Does anyone have an anonymize script for SDA?

Hi All

When performing an update transaction on  patient data in GUI Apex 5.8 cache2017, we randomly get a ‘Database Connection Lost’ error. Subsequently the application quits and the incomplete transaction is rolled back.
 

We have confined its not a network issue as we can still query the database using CHUI Apex when these events occur.

so any input appreciated.

Someone have experience consuming special wss ?

I need generate this values on Iris :

you can see an example here : 

https://github.com/Axway/axway-open-docs/blob/master/conversion_outputs/apigw_polref/content_sign_message.md

for any help,  Thanks in advance

Has anyone tried using the TCPKeepAlive function?  I've been reading the documentation on this and it might be what I need to use.  Any examples of how this is being used?  thanks!

I have a C string and I need to build a $lb from it.

This code works fine for strings shorter than 254 characters:

char *str = "some string";
int len = strlen(str);
int add = 2;
char *list = malloc(len + add + 1);
char lenChar = len + add;
sprintf(list, "%c\x01%s", lenChar, str);

Thought maybe someone can share the code for longer strings?

The client part of the code for this game is on the MS Excel sheet and consists of:

1. m-commands  for random arranging ships on the playing field  (21 cells)
2. m-command to enable on-click m-trigger on all 100 cells of the playing field (1), red font
3. m-trigger (1), red font

The server part of the code (vmx.ro) is installed onсе, it not change depending on the task, is the same for IRIS, CACHE, 16, 8-bit encoding, any applications, games, reports.  The server side creates and maintains ‘virtual excel’ in M.

Hi Community,

⏯ Durable Data Storage with Containers

Hello all!

As we ObjectScript developers have been experiencing, preparing an environment to run CI related tasks can be quite the chore. This is why I have been thinking about how we could improve this workflow and the result of that effort is IRIS-CI.

See how it works here.

Quickstart

1.Download the image from the Docker Hub registry:

docker pull rfns/iris-ci:0.5.3

2. Run the container (with the default settings):

docker run --rm --name ci -t -v /path/to/your/app:/opt/ci/app rfns/iris-ci:0.5.3

Notice that volume mounting to /path/to/your/app? This is where the app should be.

I am attempting to pragmatically create a bunch of roles and then assign the appropriate resources to that role.

Currently, the only ways to add resources to a role are to:

1. Do through Management Portal

2. Go through ^SECURITY (add resource one at a time)

My Intention would be to do the following: do ^SECURITY Role Setup Edit Role When prompted for resources to add, be able to use *

Additionally, I was thinking that an additional method can either exist (that I seem to can't find) or create a new method called AddResources: ##Class(Security.Roles).

In my Data Transformation, the Target class needs to create a new List of objects (ListOfObj), depending on some conditions of Source class (Source/Target are completely distinct/different classes).

I experimented with Lists of 'primitive' data types (ListOfDT), and I could add new %String items (as an example) to a List of %String property, with "append" action in DT.

Does anyone have an example, or guidance, how to create new Lists of Objects in data transformation?

For example, if I have a 'container' class like this, it works:

Class Json.SalesOrderContainer Extends (%RegisteredObject,%XML.

Looks like the $get is actually trying to use the property getter instead of evaluating the GetAt as a method first.
Should this be considered a bug?

i want to achive a function like that:

"1.2.3"   ->   tmp(1,2,3)=""

"1.2.3.4"   ->   tmp(1,2,3,4)=""

"1.2.3.4..."   ->   tmp(1,2,3,4,...)=""

thx :)

Introduction

Despite the fact that InterSystems has long recommended using external backup tools, many users have opted to use the internal Online Backup facility, which is included in all distributions of InterSystems products (IRIS Data Platform, Caché, etc.). The reasons why are quite obvious:

    Hi, 

   I  like to validate some use cases and have the following question. I am relatively new to IRIS. Perhaps someone can help:

   1. I have a global m[x,y,z,f] distributed across multiple sharded instances
   2. I know that i can set assign computed SQL expressions to class variables using Objectscript 
   3. Is there a possibility in Globals API to do the same ? Set f = x + y as a computed expression in the global  m[x,y,z,f]  ?

       a.  We would want to use the global API to change f programmatically using code

       b.

Is there a way to query the database structure?  In SSMS there are queries for finding tables with a column with a certain name (using LIKE).  And there is the redgate tool SQL Search.  But I'm not sure how to go about looking for columns that have say a value of 'PATID' and returning all tables that match.  Does anyone know?

Allow a question from a newbie 

1. Lets assume we have a global (matrix) [X,Y,Z] that is distributed across sharded nodes
2. Matrix size doesnt matter, but lets assume it holds 500 GB for the moment
3. I want to return all rows where f(x,y,z) is true. f() is an arbitrary function, i.e. f = x + 20(y*y) > z

Questions
Q1. Can such a computation (in ObjectScript) be moved and distributed from the client to the different sharded nodes for parallel processing
Q2. Where is that documented (incl. perhaps an example and performance measurements)
 

Thanks a lot
Frank

Maybe I haven't seen anything about it in the documentation, but why isn't there a way to list all the Resources from the %SYS namespace from a class rather than through ^SECURITY

Thinking maybe something like this: 
##Class(Security.Resources).ListAll(.result)

In one of my class, I use Stream.Read() method of the %Stream.Object class.

• Method OnRequest(request As Ens.StreamContainer, Output response As %Library.Persistent) As %Status
• {
•    SET sc=$$$OK
•    SET strRequest=request.Stream.Read(,.sc)
• ​​   $$$TRACE($L(​​strRequest))
• ....  

The Trace value gives 32,000. But the Read() method of the %Stream.Object class specifies 32,656 by default.

1. Method Read(ByRef len As %Integer = 32656, ByRef sc As %Status) As %CacheString
2. {
3.    Set len=0,i%AtEnd=1,sc=$$$OK
4.    Quit ""
5. }

Why ?

Best Regards.

Hi developers!

Suppose you have a Github repository with ObjectScript classes but without a Docker environment.

Recently I published a repository with a set of files that form a universal Docker and VSCode environment to let you either import and run your repository in InterSystems IRIS Community Edition on Docker or turn your repository into Docker and VSCode environment for InterSystems IRIS Community Edition.

So in one sentence:

Unpack these files in your folder and you have the Docker and VSCode environment for your InterSystems IRIS ObjectScript application!

See the details below.
