Hi fellow developers in InterSystems IRIS!

I'm often being asked, especially related to technical bonuses we encourage for every Open Exchange contest why do we constantly give bonuses for Docker, IPM and ObjectScript Quality pass.

In fact, this is very easy to answer.

Last Chapter: Creating a REST client to get Tracks from Spotify REST API - Part3 Get some data (e.g. Artists)

Git link: https://github.com/ecelg/InterSystems-IRIS-as-a-Spotify-REST-client

OK we create a method to get data and lets try to get some Tracks 😁

Now open a terminal and test the code

Run the following line

w ##class(rest.utli.requestUtli).getdata("Spotify","/search","offset=5&limit=10&query=Shape%20of%20you&type=track&market=SG")

ooooo no seems there is huge among of data returns.....😥

I would like to know what information can be found in 1 track....🤔 how about only query 1 track?

Recently, I come up an idea in my mind that how can I put my playlist on IRIS.🧐

At the same time, I was told to pay for my Spotify subscription💸💸... ooo.. how about to get some data from the Spotify API... so I started to do study about it.

Like most of the development, let's start from Documentation of  the API https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api

In order to get the data, i am required to request an access token from for the token endpoint URL.🧐

I recently met an ages old issue related to code maintenance:

• You have access to your IRIS server just over ODBC/JDBC
• no VSCode access, no Studio access
• no (Web-)Terminal access

But you need to take a look on Classes or Routines or Globals !!
Anyhow SQL is your friend.

• First you need a simple table as temporary text store.

CREATEGLOBALTEMPORARYTABLE  arcc.txt (line VARCHAR(32000))

Not a thrilling action.

• Next you export your code to local file and import it to your table

I have a unique index on two properties in a class, and I want to open the instance by index key with one of the two properties is set to the empty string. Is this possible to perform?

Take the example class here

Class TestIndex
{

Property Mandatory as TestClass [Required];Property Alternate as TestClass;Property AltOrEmpty As%String [ Calculated, Required, SqlComputeCode = {Set {*} = $Case({Alternate},"":$c(0),:{Alternate})}, SqlComputed ];
Index AlternateMandatory on (Mandatory, AltOrEmpty) [ Unique ];
}

And example data as

Hello everyone,

I hope you're doing well!

I wanted to share that a new JDBC driver version has been added to the iris-driver-distribution repository on GitHub. The filename is intersystems-jdbc-3.10.1.jar.

However, I noticed that the commit message doesn’t provide much information about the IRIS version this driver is associated with. Could anyone clarify if this is a final release? Is it production-ready? Additionally, are there details about the bugs it addresses or the new features it introduces?

Last Chapter: Creating a REST client to get Tracks from Spotify REST API - Part2 Save and Refresh Token

Git link: https://github.com/ecelg/InterSystems-IRIS-as-a-Spotify-REST-client
 

Ok, now I am pretty sure i have a valid token for making query.😀

Shall we try to query something from the API.

Again, its time to go through the API document https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/tutorials/getting-started

Search for Request artist data

the suggested code is like the following

Last Chapter:  Creating a REST client to get Tracks from Spotify REST API - Part1 Check out token

Git link: https://github.com/ecelg/InterSystems-IRIS-as-a-Spotify-REST-client

Ok... Now we can check out a token but it will be expired in 3600 seconds.

There are 2 questions come up🤔

1. How to save this token????🙄

2. How to refresh this token????🤨🤔 

Lets come back to the API document https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/tutorials/getting-started

Base on my understanding, this piece of API do not have a token called refresh_token, as a result, we can assume the logic like following

Hi!

Suppose I have full access to InterSystems IRIS database instance A and want to export a consistent part of the data and import it into another InterSystems IRIS instance B. Classes are equal.

What are the most general and convenient options for me?

TIA!

Hello,

I'm trying to customize error handling in the overriden HS.FHIRServer.Storage.JsonAdvSQL.Interactions::Search method. It is clear how to add to the resultset a valid FHIR resource (pseudocode):

Hello everyone,

I want to share my experience configuring an IIS server to enable secure HTTPs access to HealthShare/HealthConnect.

After installing the “WebServerGateway” and completing the initial setup, I encountered a few issues. Specifically, when trying to log into HealthConnect using HTTPS, the logo didn’t appear, and clicking any buttons didn’t trigger any response. See screenshot below:

Today, we take a moment to shine the spotlight on one of the true pillars of the InterSystems Developer Community, @Alberto Fuentes.

Hi Developers,

🎄 Christmas cheer is in the air, and we decided to try something new for the last programming contest of the year. Welcome the 

🏆 Bringing Ideas to Reality Contest 🏆

Submit an application that implements an idea from the InterSystems Ideas Portal that has statuses Community Opportunity or Future Consideration and requires doing the actual programming 😉

Duration: December 2 - 22, 2024

Prize pool: $14,000

Can you please share few more on the implementation details on how to use sda transformation from FHIR. I found a lot of resources online but would be great if I can get some videos on the same. Thanks!!!

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a tool that can be used as a base to create an interface that allows a non-technical user to easily forward messages. 

The idea is that the user can find an already sent HL7 message and forward it by modifying specific fields of the message without needing any technical knowledge.

An example would be something similar to the Ensemble search engine, but with a less technical and much more intuitive approach and that only allows changing 1 or 2 fields. 

Hello Community,

I'm trying to import WSDL service descriptions from Gematik (https://www.gematik.de/) to allow communication with the german TI infrastructure using the TI connectors webservice interface over a IRIS healthconnect SOAP operation. For import I'm using the SOAP Wizard Add-Inn from Studio.

The WSDL files can be found here: https://fachportal.gematik.de/fileadmin/Fachportal/Downloadcenter/Schemata-_und_WSDL-Dateien/Schema-_und_WSDL-Dateien/OPB3.1_Schemadateien_R3.1.2_Kon_PTV3_20191002.zip

Hello,

It looks like command D ^%G from webterminal does not respect parameter "Screen size for paging"

In this example it should show only 2 results and ask for more, as it does in a pure terminal session

From webterminal

I'm trying to use embedded python code that receives an Iris %Stream.GlobalBinary and uses image manipulation library PIL.

Because PIL can't work with IRIS %Stream, I need to convert the image to python bytes.

This process seems to have very bad performance compared to writing to a file and then loading it from a file in python.

Is there a better way to send a stream into python? The conversion code I'm using is below.

Thanks.

defiris_stream_to_bytes(stream):
	stream.Rewind()
	s = ""whilenot stream.AtEnd:
		r = stream.Read(1024)
		s += r
	b = bytearray()
	b.extend(map(ord, s))
	return b

Hi Developers!

We are happy to present the bonuses page for the applications submitted to the InterSystems "Bringing Ideas to Reality" 2024 Contest!

Recently, I needed to run WebGateway on an additional port but with a twist - this port should publish only one web application.
At first, I thought about configuring Web Gateway to allow only specific web applications (~urls), but Web Gateway configuration is per Apache configuration:

LoadModule csp_module_sa "/opt/webgateway/bin/CSPa24.so"
CSPModulePath "/opt/webgateway/bin/"
CSPConfigPath "/opt/webgateway/bin/"

And while LoadModule has two allowed contexts, server config and virtual host, the csp module must be loaded once in the server context.

But we can use two VirtualHosts and here's how:

I have started working on utilizing Epic on FHIR about a month ago.

Creating a Public Private Key Pair

mkdir /home/ec2-user/path_to_key
openssl genrsa -out ./path_to_key/privatekey.pem 2048

For backend apps, you can export the public key to a base64 encoded X.509 certificate named publickey509.pem using this command...

openssl req -new -x509 -key ./path_to_key/privatekey.pem -out ./path_to_key/publickey509.pem -subj '/CN=medbank'

The InterSystems platforms have always offered dynamic documentation of the packages and classes in a namespace, a feature known informally as Documatic. But what if you need to publish this class reference information on a website without requiring the site to be connected to an IRIS server containing the actual classes?
