Here’s a special thread where you can tell a bit about yourself — because connecting and learning more about each other is what makes this community great 💬✨

We had a similar discussion on our old Global Masters platform — you might remember! We’re excited to bring that networking opportunity back to the community.

Having been inspired with Shared code execution speed question/discussion, I dare to ask another one which is annoying me and my colleagues for several weeks.

We have a routine called Lib that comprises 200 $$-functions of 1500 code lines total. It was noticed that after calling _any_ function of another rather big routine (1900 functions, 32000 lines) the next call of $$someFunction^Lib(x) is getting 10-20% slower than previous call of the same function. This effect doesn't depend on:

Let's suppose two different routines use one and the same chunk of code. From the object-oriented POV, a good decision is to have this chunk of code in a separate class and have both routines call it. However, whenever you call code outside of the routine as opposed to calling code in the same routine, some execution speed is lost. For reports churning through millions of transactions this lost speed might be noticeable. Any advice how to optimize specifically speed?

Hi Developers,

We’ve got great news — the Developer Community has a new, smart, and proactive helper:

🤖 Developer Community AI Bot a.k.a. @DC AI Bot 🤖

Powered by the same IRIS Vector Search technology as the DC AI assistant, our new @DC AI Bot takes it a step further:

👉 it automatically scans every newly posted question — and, if it finds a relevant answer, leaves a reply right in the comments.

Hi IRIS experts!

I have a parameter in a class that stores a global name:

Parameter GlobalName = "^AGlobal";

then I'm trying to call it as:

set gn=$name(..#GlobalName)

to use it later as:

set @gn@("index")="value"

But! I'm having syntax at set gn=$name(..#GlobalName)

What am I doing wrong?

  1. I like the Application Error Log functionality a lot. However, it becomes time consuming to inspect it date by date and directory by directory on a multidirectory server. Ideally, I would use an existing error class to write a custom error report by date, selected namespaces, etc. Does such a system class actually exist? Not that I found. The detail level on the screenshot below is enough.

I seem to remember making this work before, but I'm not having any luck digging up examples.

I've defined some custom properties for a business operation that could definitely benefit from having popup descriptions available in the Production Configuration. I have triple-slash comments before each property that do just that in the source. I thought those provided the text for the popup descriptions when clicking on the property name, but apparently not.

Any thoughts?

I have an application that is requires an Encoded HL7 message sent over SOAP over HTTPS using SSL/TLS... the Response that is return is also encoded, which I know how to Decode but not sure when I Decode the response how to Extract the HL7 message to send back to the router.

How do I capture the Routing Source System and parse the encoded message back into an HL7 format that would show on the trace viewer?

I have created a New Database/Namespace within our TEST environment on both the Primary and Backup of the mirror. When I go to create the database/namespace on the DR node I am getting "Cannot open file '/ensemble/TEST/iris.cpf_...." while the cpf file that it references does not exist. Anyone have any clue to why this might be happening?
