Hello IRIS community,

InterSystems Certification is currently developing a certification exam for InterSystems IRIS SQL professionals, and if you match the exam candidate description given below, we would like you to beta test the exam! The exam will be available for beta testing starting May 19, 2025.

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?

I attended Cloud Native Security Con in Seattle with full intention of crushing OTEL day, then perusing the subject of security applied to Cloud Native workloads the following days leading up to CTF as a professional excercise. This was happily upended by a new understanding of eBPF, which got my screens, career, workloads, and atitude a much needed upgrade with new approaches to solving workload problems.

So I made it to the eBPF party and have been attending clinic after clinic on the subject ever since, here I would like to "unbox" eBPF as a technical solution, mapped directly to what we do in practice (even if its a bit off), and step through eBPF through my experimentation on supporting InterSystems IRIS Workloads, particularly on Kubernetes, but not necessarily void on standalone workloads.

eBee Steps with eBPF and InterSystems IRIS Workloads

Hi Team,

I am converting xml message into HL7 message but the input XML message contains pdf which is converting into base 64 and getting mapped to OBX:5.5 in HL7 message and sending it to downstream

In Downstream service i am using normal HL7 TCP class EnsLib.HL7.Service.TCPService but the message looks like below i am not sure why stream is taking as another segment in HL7 message,

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks,

Smythee

When trying to build a custom container, I'm getting a <LICENSE LIMIT EXCEEDED> during the build process.

Will this stop the container for building? Do I need a license in order to build a custom container?

Hello all,

We have our system with AutoParallel enabled:

USER>w ##class(%SYSTEM.SQL.Util).GetOption("AutoParallel")

But whenever I try to run any sql the autoparallel does not work. For example, this simple query:

When I force it with %PARALLEL we can see it will effectively run in parallel:

Hello, I want to create PDF from HTML source. I found pandoc. I installed pandoc on IRIS container image. I created Interoperability production. I have setup REST service to receive HTML file in request body. I call pandoc command pandoc -o output.pdf input.html from a BPL process. I copy output.pdf file stream into response body. I save the response at the source. I get a file named output.pdf but it does not load in Acrobat. I suspect I am doing something wrong with headers (accept-encoding?) or maybe do I need to base64 encode the pdf file to transfer it via REST?
