Question Victor Paredes · Jan 7

Hello,

We are accessing an InterSystems Cacha database from Microsoft SQL Server using a linked server over ODBC (ODBC35). Queries are executed using OPENQUERY.

On the SQL Server side, there is a linked server property called Query Timeout. By default it is set to 0 (no timeout). We are considering setting it to 15 seconds and would like to understand how Cache behaves in this scenario.

Specifically, I would like clarification on the following points:

I have a new project to store information from REST responses into an IRIS database. I’ll need to sync information from at least two dozen separate REST endpoints, which means creating nearly that many ObjectScript classes to store the results from those endpoints.

Could I use ChatGPT to get a headstart on creating these classes? The answer is “Yes”, which is great since this is my first attempt at using generative AI for something useful. Generating pictures of giraffes eating soup was getting kind of old….

Here’s what I did:

Hello
How to hide a table completely in pdf generation when a row is empty?
A table has style with borders
<table group="services" removeEmpty="1" style="border:1px solid black;">
     <item field="TotalSum" suppressEmpty="1" />

     <item field="TotalAvSum" suppressEmpty="1" />
 </table>
With 
removeEmpty="1" and  suppressEmpty="1"  all data are hidden when a row is empty but top and bottom borders are remain on the page.
How to hide also table's top and bottom borders when a data row is empty?

Sometimes it is more convenient, more efficient, and more secure, to limit FHIR Searches per pre-defined "Lists" of Resources.

Since v2025.1 we support several List-related features in our FHIR Server.

I will highlight these here, and provide some samples.

Motivation

I didn't know about ObjectScript until I started my new job. Objectscript isn't actually a young programming language. Compared to C++, Java and Python, the community isn't as active, but we're keen to make this place more vibrant, aren't we?

I've noticed that some of my colleagues are finding it tricky to get their heads around the class relationships in these huge projects. There aren't any easy-to-use modern class diagram tool for ObjectScript.

I have tried relavant works:

Hi Everyone!

We have an existing process (running in FIFO order), all business hosts having pool size=1.

Currently we are reading records from a file (one record at a time) then that record goes to business process for further processing and finally through the business operation. As of now we are using synchronous call in our existing code. Before processing the last record we are using hang of 50 seconds because we need to initiate a batch once the processing of last record is finished.

This process is taking too much time for a file having 0.1 million records (max records in a file).

Question Evgeny Shvarov · Jan 4

Hi Developers!

Sometimes we need to deal with classes/tables where the primary key and the IdKey are something that is maintained by yourself.

What is the proper way to generate a new ID in case where ID is a %BigInt?

Property id As %Library.BigInt

Are there any system methods to provide it?

There is data already imported via SQL, so there is no last ID stored in ^myclassD, so I cannot do $I(^myclassD).

Thinking of:

set newid=$O(^myclassD(""),-1),newid=$I(newid)

What do you think?

Hello community!
I have a small challenge for you :)

One of customers is sending quite a lot of messages between interoperability components, which mix standard request content and streams representing serialized JSON objects. As these JSON streams can be quite long (but not too long, just couple hundreds of characters) they would appreciate if the JSON content of stream was displayed in a nice-to-read way, using syntax highlighting by message trace view.

Time for another round of code golf!

Develop a function that performs a two-step encryption process on a given string:

  • First Step: Reverse Cipher

    • Reverse the entire input string.
    • Relocate the last character of the original string (now the first character of the reversed string) to the end.
  • Second Step: Alphabetic Index Binary Encoding

    • For each alphabetic character, determine its zero-based index in the lowercase alphabet (a-z).
    • Replace odd-indexed characters with '1' and even-indexed characters with '0'.
    • Preserve non-alphabetic characters unchanged.

Question Damiano Porrovecchio · Jan 6

Hi everyone,

I am currently setting up InterSystems API Manager (IAM) 3.4.3.11 using Docker. The installation is successful, the license is active, and I can access the Manager (port 8002).

I am now trying to secure the Administration Portal using basic-auth. I've found some documentation stating that I should:

  1. Go to the Teams section in the UI.
  2. Click on Invite Admin to create the first user.
  3. Only then, enable KONG_ENFORCE_RBAC and KONG_ADMIN_GUI_AUTH in the docker-compose.yml.

Defining my first REST API within InterSystems using iris-rest-Api-template as a basis and I am seeing if someone could provide me some guidance to see if I can make it work.  

In some of my other posts, I have been trying to come up with a way for our Enterprise Application Development team which works with .Net to build Applications to make a REST call to our instance of InterSystems to query some of the Cache Tables we have defined. 

Using the iris-rest-api-template, I have created the osuwmc.DataLookup.REST.Base.cls

Hey everyone.

I have been taking a look at the External Language Server functionality to hook into some Dotnet functions, and I am hitting a bit of a wall.

Based on the example in the documentation here I can get the same result doing:

ENV>Set netGate = $System.external.getDotNetGateway()
ENV>Set netProxy=netGate.new("System.DateTime",0)
ENV>Write netProxy.Now,!

However, if I then try another system class, I get an error:
