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/

Import from DC-PT, @Edilson Eberle Carvalho

We have some *.mac routines and we need to preserve their source,
as these routines have intellectual authorship and can only be used per session
with the right to use (they cannot be viewed or edited).
The question: how to keep only the routine object in the IRIS namespace,
without interfering with its execution?

Trying to check date in DTL.

Want to throw a custom error not the default one from the $ZDTH. It does in the try as will write "Error" when testing the DTL but the actual error not showing. Report errors is turned on. I also tried the THROW logic from best practices but that doesn't work either. $SYSTEM.Status.DisplayError(status) does display what the error should be returned.

Since we reached two important milestones for Go developers working with InterSystems IRIS:

Now it’s time to see everything working together.

To demonstrate how easily Go developers can adopt InterSystems IRIS, I took an existing production-grade open-source project — the RealWorld Example App — which showcases a full-stack Medium.com-style clone implemented with Go Fiber, GORM, and SQLite.

RealWorld Example App

With just a few configuration tweaks, I swapped out SQLite for gorm-iris, keeping everything else unchanged. The result?
A fully functional Go + Fiber application powered by InterSystems IRIS — no code rewrites, no ORM gymnastics, just a different database backend.

You can find the complete working demo here: github.com/caretdev/golang-fiber-iris-realworld-example-app

Using Cache 2017.2 sever as my target.

I have a x64 Ubuntu client setup going. This is NOT server. Just client.

I have the Linux Ubuntu x64 ODBC driver gzip file.

ODBC-2018.1.5.659.0-lnxubuntux64.tar.gz is all I could find. Someone posted it in another post.

I can connect to a test sever that does NOT use SSL. That works pretty easily.

But I have A server with SSL enabled. With Windows Cache ODBC drivers I can use SSL just fine.

This is what my SSLDefs.ini file on the Windows machines look like and it works just fine.

I was using VSCode to edit a DTL because it seemed easier to copy/paste code from parts of the DTL I was editing. I tried to add <sql> tag and code to call a SELECT statement, but when I compiled I got the following error...

ERROR <Ens>ErrInvalidDTL: Invalid DTL

> ERROR #5490: Error running generator for method 'GetSourceDocType:osuwmc.Epic.MFN.DTL.EpicMFN949002Normalization'

Hi everyone,

I am trying to create a treeMapChart in IRIS BI that will then be displayed on my DeepSeeWeb dashboard. In the IRIS BI User Portal, this is an example of what my treeMapChart looks like:

I know there is a huge amount of rectangles in this graphic - I care most about the common components (the largest boxes) but I still want all of the boxes to show. However, it projects to my DeepSeeWeb dashboard as the following:

Tasks to production

Hi guys,

Would like to replace our scheduled Tasks to instead run in a production, so basically the same code running in OnTask () to be instead called in a Business Service (I guess) and use the Interval filed to specify the iteration, so with adapter would be suitable in this case, and I noticed the Schedule filed as well but not sure how to use it?

Thanks

Hello Developers,

I have MacBook Pro M3 and I'm new to the IRIS for Health setup / installation with all pre-requisite / requirements so someone could please help me with detailed instructions on how to setup IRIS for Health (HL7 & FHIR) from scratch along with SQL Server? I have Windows 11 installed in parallel desktop if that's required and complete installation / setup is not possible on MacBook.

Thank you in advance.

Hi everyone,


I'm currently testing out IRIS 2024.3 for a new project, and it's been running smooth for the most part. However, I noticed that when running some heavier analytical queries, the memory usage spikes more than I expected, even when result sets aren’t that large.

I’ve gone through the basics (buffer sizes, query plans, etc.), but I’m wondering if there are any new tweaks or recommended settings in 2024.3 specifically for managing memory better during these peak loads.

Anyone else run into something similar or have tips to fine-tune this?

Hello,

When setting up a new web app in iris (iris is in a container) iris complains that a WSGI framework is not installed. I have installed python into the container as well as both flask and django via the python virtual environment (see second screenshot) and the python language server is running

Is this the wrong way to install flask? How do I get the container version to recoginize that flask is installed?
