Hey Community!

We're happy to share the next video in the "Code to Care" series on our InterSystems Developers YouTube:

⏯  How Project BEST Transforms FDA Adverse Event Reporting with FHIR

We are receiving an ORU message and the vendor is requesting that we append a new OBX segment at the end of the message and I wanted to reach out to see what options might be available. 

So far, I tried the append action in the DTL editor with a single OBX-3 field but it seems to be appending to the field directly instead of creating a new OBX. I've started looking into if whether I could use a function but wanted to first check with the experts on the Discussion here in case there's an easier way to accomplish this. Thank you. 

I am trying to replicate a REST call that I am able to make via a Postman call within a EnsLib.REST.GenericOperation.

It's been a while since I have messed around with trying to make external REST calls. When I execute my REST call, tSC is coming back with an error and I am trying to pinpoint why. I tried turning on ISCLOG = 5 but when calling the REST Operation from the Testing tool it is not logging anything to the ISC log.

How do we see the RAW request being sent out to verify that my request is formatted properly?

Hi group,

I am trying to take the InterSystems HL7 Interface Specialist certificate test. 

So is this an open book test? is there any Lab involved with vm?  I did the search but I am not able to find such information.

I am trying to find out more information before I actually take the test.

Thank you

Hi,

I've been working on a very basic Interoperability production in my computer. I followed one of the examples in the courses and created a TEST.FileRouterRoutingRule, but when trying to edit this rule, it takes me to the Rule Editor Login Page, where I can't get in (Not even with the _SYSTEM credentials) - Is this functionality unavailable in the community edition?

It helps to remove special characters, such as non-utf-8 characters either control characters or unicode characters from text that is not printable or can't be parsed by downstream systems.

There is also $C(32) in this condition; sometimes NBSP appears in the text and it will not be recognized by TIE, but downstream it displays as "?".

In order to avoid the NBSP issue, the if condition is replaced with a space in order to prevent the error.

Unicode characters only Remove:

Class Test.Utility.

 Hello IRIS Fans and Welcome to IRIS iRacing!

Here were going to take 3 laps of your time and demonstrate how I wired up my Racing SIM to IRIS for "As Real Time as It Gets" Metrics reporting.  I missed the window for the contest, which happens quite often, but I still ended up 3rd I think in the demo race in the video below.

Technical Salad

Below are the technical ingredients for this demonstration for a salad you can post on Instragram.

We have classes in a Production environment that are causing us some issues - example attached.

When we export them from the production environment the XML contains a snippet like the following:

<UDLText name="T">
<Content><![CDATA[
//Property any As list Of %XML.String(XMLNAME = "any", XMLPROJECTION = "ANY") [ SqlFieldName = _any ];

]]></Content>
</UDLText>

When imported and compiled into an Ensemble instance this class works as expected.

When viewed/edited in a development environment we run into issues - the presentation is similar with both Studio and VS Code.

Hi Community!

We know that every developer has small side projects — apps where you experiment with new technologies, test ideas before implementing them in bigger solutions, or just build something fun for the sake of curiosity.

Hello Community,

I have a queue that I need to traverse and perform operations on. To distribute the workload across multiple processes, I used a Work Queue Manager do process and I'm not expecting any status from it So, I skipped Sync / WaitForComplete in my implementation

Hi all,

I'm reviewing an older Cache routine and came across this line of code: from file ^ZDBKCRON

S $ZT="^%ETSDK"

Error trap

/home/oper/script/cache_db_backup -t        # Daily CacheDB Backup

 produced the following output:

 <NOROUTINE> *%ETSDK
<ERRTRAP>

-----------

From what I understand, this is setting up an error trap, but I'm not entirely clear on how it works, especially in modern InterSystems IRIS environments.

Could someone please help explain:

1. What exactly does this line do?
2. Is %ETSDK a standard system routine? I can't find it in our environment.

I cloned @Yuri Marx's langchain-iris-tool repo and modified docker-compose yaml per this post:

Hello everyone,

I am using a class that inherits from %RegisteredObject and %JSON.Adaptor to generate a JSON string from its instances.

However, one of the properties in my class is of type %Library.DynamicObject, as in the example:

Class Faces.Option Extends (%RegisteredObject, %JSON.Adaptor)
{ 
Property legend As %String;
Property xAxis As %Library.DynamicObject; 
}

When calling %JSONExportToString() on an object of this class, the JSON generated for the xAxis property is incomplete or malformed. It seems the default %JSON.Adaptor doesn't correctly handle properties of type %Library.

Hi devs!

Suppose I have an instance of a persistent class:

Set person = ##class(dc.Sample.Person).%OpenId(1)

Class is an ancestor of %JSON.Adapter.

How can I convert it to dynamic object with the properties that person.%JSONExport() provides?

{"Name":"Elon Mask","Title":"Associate Accountant","Company":"InterSystems","Phone":"799-933-5569","DOB":"1926-12-11"}

Couldn't find a right method. 

set dynObj = ##class(%ZEN.Auxiliary.altJSONProvider).%ObjectToAET(person) works, but adds id and classname, which I don't want to be added:

zw dynObj
dynObj={"_class":"dc.Sample.

Hey Community,

It's time for the new batch of #KeyQuestions from the previous month.

I have a Linux server that has multiple instances installed on it (according to my documentation).

What is the best command to show:

- what instance are installed?

- what instances are running?
I did run 'iris list' but it shows only one instance.

Can anyone please help me which function i can use to handle this error.

The Good Old Days

The %Library.DynamicObject class has been in IRIS since before it became IRIS. If you have been using it since the Cache days, you may want to brush up on some of its changes.

In Cache 2018, the %Get method only had one argument. It was the key to retrieving from the JSON, meaning that if your JSON object called myObj, it would look like the following:

Hi,

If I map all globals with (*) to a database1, then would like to map specific only some globals eg. MYGLOB* to be located in a different database2, which mapping will override the other, so would all globals that starts with MYGLOB*  be placed in database1 or 2?

Thanks

He knows what you think, with just a few questions he is able to guess the character you have thought of.

Do you dare?

In a project I'm working on we need to store some arbitrary XML in the database. This XML does not have any corresponding class in IRIS, we just need to store it as a string (it's relatively small and can fit in a string).
Since there are MANY (millions!) of records in the database I decided to reduce as much as possible the size without compressing. I know that some XML to be stored is indented, some not, it varies.
To reduce the size I decided to minify  the XML, but how do I minify an XML document in IRIS?

One of the challenges of creating a DICOM message is how to implement putting data in the correct place. Part of it is by inserting the data in the specific DICOM tags, while the other is to insert binary data such as a picture - In this article I will explain both.

To create a DICOM message, you can either use the  EnsLib.DICOM.File class (to create a DICOM file) or the  EnsLib.DICOM.Document class (to create a message that can be sent to PACS directly). In either case, the SetValueAt method will allow you to add your data to the DICOM tags.

Hello, we are currently using the Cache Database released in January 2018.

There are no specific classes or SQL mappings in the namespaces where data is stored.

Only a few routines(.mac) and stored data are in the global area.

In this case, when accessing the Cache DB through Java, is it essential to write SQL mappings or wrapper classes? The reason I ask is that our team doesn't have advanced developers who specialize in Cache.

Alternatively, is it possible to directly call pre-existing routines from Java?

I apologize for the translation;

Hi, Community!

🐍Great news—you can now use Python to customize your productions and add custom code!

Using Embedded Python in the BPL and DTL Editors

Hi Guys,

How can I use this same objectscript principle in embedded python to get the value of each field in my loop? 

  s sql="SELECT ID, Name, Age FROM Sample.Person WHERE Age="_Myage    

     Set RS=##class(%ResultSet).%New()

    Set Ret=RS.Prepare(sql)

    Set Ret=RS.Execute()

    While RS.Next()

    {

         Set name=RS.GetData(2)

}

it should be similar to this example which lists the whole row but how can I get the value of each field or if I can use GetData?  

Thanks

I ran into a situation where VS Code consumed all available web sessions and was unable to get to the Management Console to clear them. I was able to establish a terminal session, though.

Is there a method or routine available through the IRIS terminal that allows one to clear web sessions? I've searched the administration and class documentation and haven't found a solution.
