Many programming languages use the try-and-catch construct to handle runtime errors gracefully. If the code within the try block encounters an error, it will throw an exception to the catch block, where the error handling occurs.

It's been a while (and everyone is well-rested after Advent Of Code!) so let's run another round of Code Golf.

Your task is navigating in a grid-like labyrinth in a clockwise spiral pattern. As it traverses the matrix, it collects characters, revealing a secret message.
Your challenge: find the shortest, most elegant code to decode this spiral cipher.
Input:
1. A multidimensional string array with comma separated characters (n x n)
2. Starting coordinates X and Y

Output:
The decoded message as a single string

Maintenance Releases 2023.1.5 & 2024.1.2 of InterSystems IRIS, IRIS for Health, & HealthShare HealthConnect are now available

Introduction

As AI-driven automation becomes an essential part of modern information systems, integrating AI capabilities into existing platforms should be seamless and efficient. The IRIS Agent project showcases how generative AI can work effortlessly with InterSystems IRIS, leveraging its powerful interoperability framework—without the need to learn Python or build separate AI workflows from scratch.

Hi Guys,

We are planning to move our system from windows to Linux and I never used Linux before and all I know that is another operating system, so the new server has Linux which looks like just terminal session like Dos and as I ran "uname -r" command to check for the version in it shows some like "6.1.112-124.190.amzn2023.x86_64".

So for the available IRIS distribution and can only found versions for Ubuntu and Red Heat, so do I have to either install one of them to be able to install & run IRIS?

Hello,

So i want to use the INSERT OR UPDATE command so i can update a COUNTER for a given name:

INSERT OR UPDATE myTable
SET name='Omer', counter = counter + 1;

as you can see with the above code - if the row is non-existent then we get an error because COUNTER is NULL!
I tried the following to fix this but all have failed:

Hi Community,

In this article, I will introduce my application iris-RAG-Gen .

Iris-RAG-Gen is a generative AI Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) application that leverages the functionality of IRIS Vector Search to personalize ChatGPT with the help of the Streamlit web framework, LangChain, and OpenAI. The application uses IRIS as a vector store.

Application Features

• Ingest Documents (PDF or TXT) into IRIS
• Chat with the selected Ingested document
• Delete Ingested Documents
• OpenAI ChatGPT

Hey Community,

More than 1000 applications are already available for everyone to download on the InterSystems Open Exchange.

And now it's time to announce the best developers and the most downloaded apps of 2024!

Let's take a closer look at our heroes and their apps:

When we create a FHIR repository in IRIS, we have an endpoint to access information, create new resources, etc. But there are some resources in FHIR that probably we wont have in our repository, for example, Binary resource (this resource returns a document, like PDF for example).

I have created an example that when a Binary resource is requested, FHIR endpoint returns a response, like it exists in the repository.

Hi, I'm working on a large extraction from a database and need to parallelize the processes during the extraction.

Here's what happens:

1. The user starts the extraction from.
2. Several jobs are started using the Job <Method> instruction.

At the end, the user expects to find a document containing the results of all the extractions. What I'd like to do is start a new job that checks whether the previously started jobs have finished or are still working and consequently produce the document.
