Hey Community,

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

Here are the Key Questions of January chosen by InterSystems Experts within all Communities:

For some build scripting with the InterSystems Package Manager, I'd like to first uninstall a package with `zpm "uninstall"` and then load it from disk using `zpm "load"`. That way anything that got deleted from the source will also be deleted from IRIS. 

The problem is that `zpm "uninstall"` takes in a module name and I only have the directory path to the package source. Is there a way to get the module name for an installed IPM module given the source path? It's okay  to assume that it has previously been installed from that same directory with `zpm "load"`.

Hi Community,

As you may know, this year's Spanish Technical Articles contest will be in May. I am going to make a series of articles to support you in the creation of your articles, giving tips and tricks. Perhaps they will be useful for the contest you have active in this community as well.

As you may know, one of the bonuses or extra points you can receive is to add a video tutorial to your article. You may not even know how to approach this issue, no problem! I'm here to give you some tips that you can apply not only to the creation of these videos, but to any other.

I have an Iris Intersystems instance that works with Apache server  on Windows 11 machine. Are there any clear and simple instruction or documentation  that explain how to migrate from Apache server to Nginx server?

Hi beloved members of the Community!

It is very common in the daily life of IRIS or Health Connect users that it is necessary to install new instances or update the ones they already have and in many cases it is not these same users who carry out the installation, but rather systems personnel who often do not take into account the particularities of the assignment of permissions necessary for the installation.

Hi,

I running an SQL so I can find the databases with the largest amount of free space. This is in case I can compact the databases.

However SQL cannot find the SYS.Database table.

Can someone please explain how to fix?

When debugging a routine in vscode which requires input to a READ, there doesn't appear to be any way to enter the input.  If the routine is running in a terminal with vscode attached then input can be done there, but can it be done with no attached process?

FHIR repositories, applications and servers typically serve clinical data in small quantities, whether to return data about a patient, their medications, vaccines, allergies, among other information. However, it is common for a large amount of data in FHIR/JSON format to be requested to be used to load into Data Lakes, identifying study cohorts, population health, or transferring data from one EHR to another. To meet these business scenarios that require large extractions and loads of data, it is recommended to use the FHIR Bulk Data Access feature provided by HL7 institution.

Hi all! Here I would like to share how we use vector search and GenAI with InterSystems technology. As an example, I'll describe BG-AppealAI project, which our company submitted to the InterSystems Vector Search, GenAI and ML Contest. BG-AppealAI application can write an appeal if you upload an insurance contract and the insurance company’s letter with a refusal to pay medical expenses. Of course, we are aware that at the moment AI has not reached such a level as to create ready-made legal documents. However, it's already possible to create tools to serve as assistants for specialists or o

We are trying to create a JWT in order to get oauth2 token from login.microsoftonline.com and then use that token to get key/secret from an Azure Key Vault.

It seemed like it would be quite straightforward by using the Create method of class %Net.JSON.JWT

But already trying to set the first header parameter alg PS256 as specified by https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity-platform/certificate-c… becomes a problem. Just to test, I do this:

}

and then using that and an arbitrary claims as parameters in Create method gives this

Hi, this post was initially written for Caché. In June 2023, I finally updated it for IRIS. If you are revisiting the post since then, the only real change is substituting Caché for IRIS! I also updated the links for IRIS documentation and fixed a few typos and grammatical errors. Enjoy :)

In this post, I show strategies for backing up InterSystems IRIS using External Backup with examples of integrating with snapshot-based solutions. Most solutions I see today are deployed on Linux on VMware, so a lot of the post shows how solutions integrate VMware snapshot technology as examples.

Using Flask, REST API, and IAM with InterSystems IRIS

Part 3 – IAM

InterSystems API Manager (IAM) is a component that allows you to monitor, control, and manage traffic from HTTP-based APIs. It also acts as an API gateway between InterSystems IRIS applications and servers.

Hi Community,

Hi Folks!

Using Flask, REST API, and IAM with InterSystems IRIS

Part 2 – Flask App

Flask is a web development microframework written in Python. It is known for being simple, flexible, and enabling rapid application development.

Installing Flask is very simple. Once you have python installed correctly on your operating system, we need to install the flask library with the pip command. For REST API consumption, it is advisable to use the requests library. The following link provides a guide to installing flask: https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/stable/installation/

In this article we will see the implementation of a REST API to perform the maintenance of a CRUD, using Flask and IAM.

In this first part of the article we will see the construction and publication of the REST API in Iris.

Are there any known problems or other suggestions?
