Hi developers!

There is a very neat variable in IPM ${ipmdir} that lets packages be installed on a particular IRIS server and ensures that the data and resources they bring don't mess around as ${ipmdir} variable during the installation transforms into:

iris installation dir/ipm/package_name/version/whatever_you_install_here

It is very convenient, e.g., to bring some data and resource files that can be useful during the installation setup, e.g., via FILECOPY. Indeed, suppose you bring some csv_file, e.g. titanic.csv via FILECOPY as:

<FileCopy Name="data/titanic.csv" Target="${ipmdir}data/titanic.csv"/>

or even the whole folder of data in the source code repo into the package:

<FileCopy Name="data/" Target="${ipmdir}data/"/>

And in the case of Iris in Docker it resides in:

/usr/irissys/ipm/package_name/1.0.0/data/titanic.csv

This is all great, but is there any way for the installed code to determine the location of the data files? It'd be neat to let the installed app know somehow where is the data that came with it? Could it be the method in the IPM client that will resolve ${ipmdir} for the app?

I need to connect IRIS to a third-party FHIR server which in turn is connected to Keycloak.

For machine-to-machine communications, client credentials grants should be used. I don't know why exactly but the FHIR server requires access tokens to contain the "openid" scope, otherwise it returns 401 (unauthorized).

The operations manager in our company was using structured logging in IRIS to tail information to an on-prem monitoring tool and started to get concerned with the ever-growing size of the output file. He just leaned across the aisle here and informed me that the output file has no mechanism for rolling this file over at a certain point for archival or disposal. Sure enough, I can't find any documentation to refute this.

Hi Community,

Let's meet at the online meetup with the winners of the InterSystems "Bringing Ideas to Reality" Contest! It's a great opportunity to chat with the InterSystems experts team and our contestants.

Winners' demo included!

Recently, we implemented some Java-based services using JDBC. And some time ago, I refactored some legacy PHP programs that used "csession" for communication between systems to use PDO with ODBC.

This raised a question for me about how license management is done in this scenario.
Is a license used per pool? Or per connection? How is this management done?

Anyone else is passing through this issue?

Since last week when I create a new class definition, It is created without the full name into the signature class and I have to put it by myself.

I thougth that should be any configuration about the language patterns, but I didn`t found it.



Thank you all

Within Provider Data Management, I wanted a way to capture the Code Table mapping errors thrown by HSPD.MDM.FlowControl.Process into a Workflow Task for someone to work. However, because HSPD.MDM.FlowControl.Process can get overwritten during the upgrade process, I cloned it into another Business Process so we can use Workflow Tasks to troubleshoot mapping errors.

For example, I'm creating a customer at front end interface. I want to list down all the routines and child sub routines that are called at backend in mumps/cache. What's the best way to do it?

One of the newest features of .Net core 10 with C# 14 is the file-based apps. This feature allows you to execute C# code in a simple .cs file without the need to create a solution, a project, or any of the related structure.

For example you can create a script.cs file using the notepad with the content:

Console.WriteLine(“This is a script in c#.”);

Then in the command line or the terminal you execute the command:
