How do I write DDL script for collection properties?

For example I want to create the following class:

Class SQLUser.Person {

Property Name As %String;

Property FavoriteColors As list Of %String;

}

My DDL script looks like this:

CREATE TABLE Person (Name varchar(50), FavoriteColors ???)

Hello,

I have a problem generating QR code in Caché now.

After executing the code

set Status=##Class(%SYS.QRCode).GenerateImage(P0,,.DataURI)

(variable P0 contains data for QR code)

an error is displayed now:

"<NOTOPEN>zGenerate+27^%SYS.QRCode.1",,,,,,,,

("$^zGenerate+27^%SYS.QRCode.1 +1","$^zGenerateImage+4^%SYS.QRCode.1 +1"

This error occurs only on two servers, on the others the code works fine.

When calling the method, I do not specify any external file that should be opened.

Thank you for the answers.

How do you iterate over the array of namespaces returned in the result byref from the call below?

DO ##class(%SYS.Namespace).ListAll(.result)

Running "zw result" displays the namespaces (as individual subscripts in result) in the Terminal but I want to be able to programmatically iterate through each namespace name. 

The documentation for ListAll() mentions here that result will be a local array name passed by reference. Is there a way to turn it into a dynamic array?

Hi,

I want to write a program to:

- list all defined namespaces

- for each namespace, the databases making up the namespace

Python would be ideal but ObjectScript is OK.

Would someone know how to do this?

Thanks

Hi Guys,

below is a running a URL in a browser to connect and get live advertising packets data from Cassia AC server which keeps the connect live and keep going and population data. 

So now I'm doing the same in the below code but the issue I'm not getting anything and it gets stuck at Get(HttpURL) line because it hanging on that live connection I guess and not outputting, so how can I get the HTTP request to exit and get me only a snapshot of that data, maybe something like 20 sec worth of data?

I have an application that is requires an Encoded HL7 message sent over SOAP over HTTPS using SSL/TLS... the Response that is return is also encoded, which I know how to Decode but not sure when I Decode the response how to Extract the HL7 message to send back to the router.

How do I capture the Routing Source System and parse the encoded message back into an HL7 format that would show on the trace viewer?

Below is an example...where I get the response and want to send it back to FeederScottRouting as an HL7 message that can be tied to the Parent ID of the sending request message?

We have a vendor that is requiring that the HL7 sent to them is sent as an Encoded message inside a SOAP request but is sending back an HL7 message as the response. 

When the WSDL built the response, it was expecting an encoded message back. I updated the Request and Business Operation to expect an EnsLib.HL7.Message, however I am not sure how to handle the HL7 ACK to post it back to the sending message so it will not cause an Orphan message, and to parse it back correctly in the trace viewer.

When I do a $$$LOGINFO on the pResponse, I get back...

My intention is to show how simple it is to generate a lookup table taking into account the information received in our HL7 messaging. The HL7 message lookup table provided by IRIS is certainly sufficient for most of the searches we want to perform, but we always have that special field in our HIS, LIS, RIS, etc. that we'd like to search by. But that's in a segment outside of that lookup table. That field forces us to generate a specific search using the expanded search criteria. We'll likely have many messages, and we'll also have to filter by date and time so we don't timeout.

Description

This is a template for a Flask application that can be deployed in IRIS as an native Web Application.

Installation

1. Clone the repository
2. Create a virtual environment
3. Install the requirements
4. Run the docker-compose file

git clone
cd iris-flask-template
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
docker-compose up

Usage

The base URL is http://localhost:53795/flask/.

Endpoints

• /iris - Returns a JSON object with the top 10 classes present in the IRISAPP namespace.
• /interop - A ping endpoint to test the interoperability framework of IRIS.
• /posts -

Here's a sample code to display JSON or dynamic object.

It shows how to iterate over object, get property values and their paths.

This effect doesn't depend on:

Hello, dear members of our developer community!

In today's article, we're going to take a look at one of the latest remote monitoring features that have been added to the product for our IRIS instances. I'm talking about OpenTelemetry support.

Before we start with some intermediate and advanced topics, I would like to sum up some more general points. They are subjective, of course, so I will be happy to discuss them if you have other opinion or better arguments for any of them.

The list is not comprehensive and this is intended, cause I will cover some topics in future articles.

Tip 1. Follow official styleguide

Angular is quite strict in terms of limiting the possible architecture of an application, but there are still many places in it that allow you to do things your own way. The imagination of the developers is limitless, but so

1. A Motivating Example

Embedded Python has been around for a while. You probably followed the tutorials and learned about it. However, if you've tried to combine Python and ObjectScript in real development work, you probably ran into situations where you get an error message like this:

USER>Do##class(MyClass).SomeMethod()

ERROR #5002: ObjectScript error: <PYTHON EXCEPTION> *<class 'ZeroDivisionError'>: division by zero

It's a long string for limited information. All we know from this message is that a Python error occurred where (a) the error type is ZeroDivisionError; and (b) the erro

Two big changes for the TestCoverage open source tool: Embedded Python support, and a new UI

Previously, TestCoverage could only track unit test coverage for code written in ObjectScript. It would ignore code written in other languages like Python in the coverage statistics.

As more and more IRIS application code is being written in Embedded Python instead of just ObjectScript, it's critical that TestCoverage can include coverage results for Embedded Python code. Customers (through the TestCoverage GitHub issues) as well as others in InterSystems have expressed intere

We are glad to announce that DBeaver has supported InterSystems IRIS out-of-the-box since version 7.2.4. You don't need to configure it manually anymore, just find the IRIS icon in the Connections list. 

Hey everyone,

I'm diving deeper into Caché ObjectScript and would love to open a discussion around the most useful tips, tricks, and best practices you’ve learned or discovered while working with it.

Whether you're an experienced developer or just getting started, ObjectScript has its own set of quirks and powerful features—some well-documented, others hidden gems. I’m looking to compile a helpful set of ideas from the community.

Some areas I’m especially interested in:

• 💡 Clever use of %INCLUDE, macros, and preprocessor directives
• ⚙️ Best practices in class-based development using %Pers

If you're migrating from Oracle to InterSystems IRIS—like many of my customers—you may run into Oracle-specific SQL patterns that need translation.

Take this example:

SELECT (TO_DATE('2023-05-12','YYYY-MM-DD') - LEVEL + 1) AS gap_date
FROM dual
CONNECT BY LEVEL <= (TO_DATE('2023-05-12','YYYY-MM-DD') - TO_DATE('2023-05-02','YYYY-MM-DD') + 1);

In Oracle:

• LEVEL is a pseudo-column used in hierarchical queries (CONNECT BY). It starts at 1 and increments by 1.
• CONNECT BY LEVEL <= (...) determines how many rows to generate.
• The difference between the two dates plus one gives 11, so the qu
