Many programming languages use the try-and-catch construct to handle runtime errors gracefully. If the code within the try block encounters an error, it will throw an exception to the catch block, where the error handling occurs. Today we will dive into the ObjectScript implementation of this construct and discuss some ways to clean things up.

ObjectScript Implementation Basics

To get started, we will first look at the basic structure of the try/catch block:

try{
    //some code here
}
catch ex{
    //some error handling here
}

I added a Response Message Class to a call in the Business Process Designer.

When i click on Response Actions or on Response Builder i get a message

"You must specify a response message class in order to add or edit response actions."

no matter which response message i choose i always get the above warning.

how do i fix this?

Thanks

Hi Guys,

I've the below databinding on a combobox and the issue that the binding is coming with the display value of my levels so eg. I'm getting normal instead of 1 which mean the combobox in my form is not showing, so how get the binding to bring the VALUELIST rather then DISPLAYLIST ?  

Property Level As %String(DISPLAYLIST = ",Normal,Dangerous,", VALUELIST = ",1,2,3");
 

<combobox dataBinding="levels" label="levels :" dropdownHeight="130px" dropdownWidth="230px">
  <option value="1" text="normal"/>
  <option value="2" text="dangerous"/>
  <option value="3" text="Extreme"/>
  </combobox>

Thanks

Is it OK to load files (UDL format in my case) using the $system.OBJ.Load() function from multiple processes ? 

In other words ,is that function thread safe ?

Hi everyone, My name is Emmanuel Katto. What performance tuning techniques have you found most effective when working with InterSystems IRIS? Any specific metrics to monitor?

I look forward to your tips/suggestions.

Thanks in advance!

Best,

In ObjectScript you have a wide collection of functions that return some value
typically:

set variable = $somefunction(param1,param2, ...)

There is nothing special about that.
But there is a set of functions that I classify as LEFT SIDED 
The specialty of them is that you can use them also on the left of the equal operator 
as a target in the SET command:

set $somefunction(param1,param2, ...) = value

The reason to raise that subject is that with IRIS 2024.1 there is after may years  a "new kid on this block"

Hi,

We see a lot of TCPIP connection error for few of the components not sure if it is a network glitch at the source/target or is it with us. And most of the times these errors are very transient and vanish on their own and the connection gets re established and the messages get processed. Here is the error we mostly see

ERROR <Ens>ErrTCPTerminatedReadTimeoutExpired: TCP Read timeout (30) expired waiting for terminator SegTerminatorAscii=13, on |TCP|50007|10620, data received =''

We continue with this series of articles on LLM and RAG applications and in this article we will discuss the red boxed part of the following diagram:

In the process of creating a RAG application, choosing an LLM model that is appropriate to your needs (trained in the corresponding subject, costs, speed, etc.) is as important as having a clear understanding of the context you want to provide. Let's start by defining the term to be clear about what we mean by context.

Hi there, 

I'm hoping that someone may be able to point me in the right direction to get started with working with files in Intersystems. I am currently trying to build an interface that will consume a text file containing a list of IDs (one per line) and then write those IDs to an external database. I am comfortable working with the database end but have not worked with files/Stream containers etc yet.

Hi, I'm working on a large extraction from a database and need to parallelize the processes during the extraction.

Here's what happens:

1. The user starts the extraction from.
2. Several jobs are started using the Job <Method> instruction.

At the end, the user expects to find a document containing the results of all the extractions. What I'd like to do is start a new job that checks whether the previously started jobs have finished or are still working and consequently produce the document.

Hi Team, we are going to deliver a speech on a developer forum where most developers hv not used our tech before but using other database and integration technologies , Pls give us some key points on why they should adopt us and the benefits you can get, especially if you change your tech stack from others to IRIS.

Hello everyone,

I'm working with a class generated by OpenAPI in InterSystems IRIS, specifically impl.cls. In one of the classmethods of this class, I need to switch to the %SYS namespace to access system-level functionalities and then switch back to the original namespace.

I tried using the following commands:

new $namespace
set $namespace = “%SYS”

However, these give an error when executed. Is there a proper way to change namespaces programmatically within a classmethod and gain access to the %SYS namespace? Any best practices or example code snippets would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Hello,

Since version 1.93 of VS Code, the “import and compile” process has been very slow (more than an hour).
Have you encountered this issue and do you know how to resolve it?

Thank you,

In the business world, every second counts, and having high-performing applications is essential for streamlining our business processes. We understand the significance of crafting efficient algorithms, measurable through the big O notation.

Nevertheless, there are numerous strategies to boost the performance of systems built on the IRIS Data Platform. These strategies are equally crucial for optimizing overall efficiency.

Let's join the journey for a sneak peek into the tips for making IRIS Data Platform work better, where every little trick will help your applications shine.

1. Using Indexes

Is there a simple way to compare Stream data between two objects?

We have used $ZCRC to create a checksum and that seems to be work.
We have also read each line of the streams and compared them and that seems to work too.

We just think there has to be a simpler way than looping through all the lines of the stream.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

This demo program is used to show how a custom FHIR profile can be employed to validate data compliance. The custom FHIR implementation guide was developed based on FHIR Version R4, and in this example implements the Organization resource extension to validating data compliance.

Installation

This is a consequence of work being done by the VS Code team to improve Find in Explorer.

Symptoms without proposed APIs:

Note the continual clock badge and progress bar.

With proposed APIs enabled you will require v2.12.9-beta.4 or later, otherwise the find runs but returns no results.

See https://github.com/intersystems-community/vscode-objectscript/issues/14… for more information.
