InterSystems Reports version 23.2 is now available from the InterSystems Software Distribution site in the Components section. They are labeled InterSystems Reports Designer and InterSystems Reports Server and are available for Mac OSX, Windows or Linux. insightsoftware elected to move from a numerical number plan to a year-based numbering plan in 2023 so there are no versions 20 through 22; versions increase from Version 19 to Version 23. Note that the reports Server docker image will be available at a later date from the Container Repository. This new release brings along some great enhancements included with our partner insightsoftware's Logi Report Version 23.2 including: Increased functionality in the page report template editor, Report Studio, for additional editing from the Reports Server. This is part of a long term strategy to enable report designers to make modifications to the reports using permissions-based access to editing on the Reports Server. Additional bookmark management in the "My Bookmarks" folder, such as running bookmarks directly or viewing the parameter and filter information. Bookmarks allow customers to save their filters and parameters for easy access to their customized view of a shared report. For more information about these features and others, see this feature update from insightsoftware. For more information about InterSystems Reports, see the InterSystems documentation and learning services content.

Thank you for all of your hard work ... it's amazing to see how far this ecosystem has come in the past couple of years :) Thanks for your constant supportive feedback, Ben! 😊 Awesome! So many interesting things!

While starting the development with IRIS we have a distribution kit or in case of Docker we are pulling the docker image and then often we need to initialize it and setup the development environment. We might need to create databases, namespaces, turn on/off some services, create resources. We often need to import code and data into IRIS instance and run some custom code to init the solution. And there plenty of templates on Open Exchange where we suggest how to init REST, Interoperability, Analytics, Fullstack and many other templates with ObjectScript. What if we want to use only Python to setup the development environment for Embedded Python project with IRIS? So, the recent release of Embedded Python template is the pure python boilerplate that could be a starting point for developers that build python projects with no need to use and learn ObjectScript. This article expresses how this template could be used to initialize IRIS. Here we go! Ok! Creating Database and Namespace Often we need to create database and namespace. This could be done with merge cpf functionality of IRIS, and here is the merge file that does the thing: [Actions] CreateResource:Name=%DB_IRISAPP_DATA,Description="IRISAPP_DATA database" CreateDatabase:Name=IRISAPP_DATA,Directory=/usr/irissys/mgr/IRISAPP_DATA,Resource=%DB_IRISAPP_DATA CreateResource:Name=%DB_IRISAPP_CODE,Description="IRISAPP_CODE database" CreateDatabase:Name=IRISAPP_CODE,Directory=/usr/irissys/mgr/IRISAPP_CODE,Resource=%DB_IRISAPP_CODE CreateNamespace:Name=IRISAPP,Globals=IRISAPP_DATA,Routines=IRISAPP_CODE,Interop=1 ModifyService:Name=%Service_CallIn,Enabled=1,AutheEnabled=48 ModifyUser:Name=SuperUser,PasswordHash=a31d24aecc0bfe560a7e45bd913ad27c667dc25a75cbfd358c451bb595b6bd52bd25c82cafaa23ca1dd30b3b4947d12d3bb0ffb2a717df29912b743a281f97c1,0a4c463a2fa1e7542b61aa48800091ab688eb0a14bebf536638f411f5454c9343b9aa6402b4694f0a89b624407a5f43f0a38fc35216bb18aab7dc41ef9f056b1,10000,SHA512 Merge cpf contains Actions which in this case create dabasases IRISAPP_DATA and IRISAPP_CODE for data and code respectively, the related IRISAPP namespace to access it and the related resources %IRISAPP_DATA and %IRISAPP_CODE" to manage the access. This Merge cpf also enables Callin service to make Embedded python work via ModifyService action: ModifyService:Name=%Service_CallIn,Enabled=1,AutheEnabled=48 The last action is an example how you can securely set user's password, using ModifyUser action: ModifyUser:Name=SuperUser,PasswordHash=a31d24aecc0bfe560a7e45bd913ad27c667dc25a75cbfd358c451bb595b6bd52bd25c82cafaa23ca1dd30b3b4947d12d3bb0ffb2a717df29912b743a281f97c1,0a4c463a2fa1e7542b61aa48800091ab688eb0a14bebf536638f411f5454c9343b9aa6402b4694f0a89b624407a5f43f0a38fc35216bb18aab7dc41ef9f056b1,10000,SHA512 The password hash here can be generated via another docker image from InterSystems, e.g. with the following line called in a terminal (learn more about passwordhash): docker run --rm -it containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/passwordhash:1.1 -algorithm SHA512 -workfactor 10000 merge command is could be called in Dockerfile like this: iris merge IRIS merge.cpf && \ Other types of merge actions and different settings available for IRIS could be found in documentation. Running an Arbitrary Init Code Another popular use case is to run an arbitrary custom code to load data, init variables and load code from the repository e.g. in a form of IPM package. Usually in IRIS templates there is a special file iris.script that contains such a code in form of ObjectScript. I kept the iris.script file in the repository just to demo how it have been used with ObjectScript. In this python template you can find the example of such init code in a iris_script.py file. Let's see what's there: import glob import os import iris import pandas as pd from sqlalchemy import create_engine from iris import ipm # switch namespace to the %SYS namespace iris.system.Process.SetNamespace("%SYS") # set credentials to not expire iris.cls('Security.Users').UnExpireUserPasswords("*") # switch namespace to IRISAPP built by merge.cpf iris.system.Process.SetNamespace("IRISAPP") # load ipm package listed in module.xml #iris.cls('%ZPM.PackageManager').Shell("load /home/irisowner/dev -v") assert ipm('load /home/irisowner/dev -v') # load demo data engine = create_engine('iris+emb:///') # list all csv files in the demo data folder for files in glob.glob('/home/irisowner/dev/data/*.csv'): # get the file name without the extension table_name = os.path.splitext(os.path.basename(files))[0] # load the csv file into a pandas dataframe df = pd.read_csv(files) # write the dataframe to IRIS df.to_sql(table_name, engine, if_exists='replace', index=False, schema='dc_demo') The code is rather self-explanatory and it has the demo of changing namespaces, loading repo code in form of IPM module, importing csv files that contained in /data folder of the repo using sqlalchemy lib. What Does the Template do? Basically this template provides examples how can Embedded Python by used with IRIS. 1. Calling Python From ObjectScript To demo it we have several ObjectScript classes in the repo. To test the approach open IRIS terminal and run: IRISAPP>d ##class(dc.python.test).Hello() World this test demoes how you can use functions in sample.py code in IRIS using Embedded Python. 2. Refer to IRIS from python To test this you can run irisapp.py that performs different operations with IRIS database. To run all the test start terminal session in docker: # attach to the running IRIS container docker-compose exec iris bash # run the script $ irispython ./python/irisapp.py 3. Building Python Flask REST API that works with IRIS There is also an example of REST api in python made with Flask that you could use in your applications that you can find in /python/flask/app.py. To start Flask REST api do: $ docker-compose exec iris bash # irispython /python/flask/app.py Then you can test the server at http://localhost:55030/. And here are two examples on how to add a new record in IRIS and read a record: POST http://localhost:55030/persistentclass Content-Type: application/json Accept: application/json { "test": "toto" } Result: json { "id": 1, "test": "toto" } GET http://localhost:55030/persistentclass/1 Accept: application/json Result: json { "id": 1, "test": "toto" } 4. Deployment The deployment of the solution to IRIS systems can be performed via IPM. For that purpose we have an IPM module.xml that will deliver ObjectScript and Python files to a target IRIS system from an IPM Registry you will publish module at. Thanks a lot to @Guillaume.Rongier7183 and @Dmitry.Maslennikov who helped a lot to create the template and make "Pure Python" approach possible. There are more "radical" approaches in organizing such templates - here is the "no dockerfile" and "no objedctscript" sample by @Dmitry.Maslennikov , here is "embedded python" template by @Guillaume.Rongier7183. 💡 This article is considered as InterSystems Data Platform Best Practice.

Welcome to the Q4’2024 quarterly platforms update. I hope that your 2024 has been incredible and that 2025 is even better. If you’re new to these updates, welcome! This update aims to share recent changes as well as our best current knowledge on upcoming changes, but predicting the future is tricky business and this shouldn’t be considered a committed roadmap. With that said, on to the update… InterSystems IRIS Production Operating Systems and CPU Architectures Red Hat Enterprise Linux Previous Updates We’ve completed minor OS certification for RHEL 9.4 & 8.10 on IRIS 2024.1 without incident. Upcoming Changes The next major update for RHEL will be RHEL 10 which is expected in Q2 of 2025. Short-term-supported 9.5 & 8.11 were released earlier this month, and we’ve started minor OS certification on IRIS 2024.1. Further reading: RHEL Release Page Ubuntu Previous Updates We’ve completed minor OS certification for Ubuntu 22.04.3 on IRIS 2024.1 without incident Upcoming Changes We’re currently doing minor OS certification on Ubuntu 24.04.1. So far, so good. Further Reading: Ubuntu Releases Page SUSE Linux Previous Updates SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP6 was released in May. The release notes can be found here. General Support from SUSE for Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP3 came to an end on 12/31/2022, but extended security support will continue until December, 2025. Further Reading: SUSE lifecycle Oracle Linux No updates Further Reading: Oracle Linux Support Policy Microsoft Windows Recent Changes Windows Server 2025 was released earlier this month and we’ve begun the process of adding support for the platform. Upcoming Changes Microsoft has pushed back the anticipated release date for Windows 12 to sometime in 2025. We’ll start the process of supporting the new OS after it’s been released. Further Reading: Microsoft Lifecycle AIX Recent Changes IRIS 2024.3 and up will only support OpenSSL 3. NOTE: This means that 2024.2 is the last version of IRIS that has both OpenSSL 1 and OpenSSL 3 kits. In IRIS 2023.3, 2024.1, & 2024.2, we provided two separate IRIS kits – one that supports OpenSSL 1 and one that supports OpenSSL 3. Given the importance of OpenSSL 3 for overall system security, we’ve heard from many of you that you’ve already moved to OpenSSL 3. Further Reading: AIX Lifecycle Containers Previous Updates We changed the container base image from Ubuntu 22.04 to Ubuntu 24.04 with IRIS 2024.2 We’re considering changes to the default IRIS container to, by default, have internal traffic (ECP, Mirroring, etc) on a different port from potentially externally facing traffic (ODBC, JDBC, etc). If you have needs in this area, please reach out and let me know. InterSystems IRIS Development Operating Systems and CPU Architectures MacOS Upcoming Changes Apple has released MacOS 15 and we are planning support for it in IRIS 2025.1 InterSystems Components Previous Updates InterSystems API Manager 2.8.4.11 & 3.4.3.11 have been released. If you’re using IAM, please upgrade soon. InterSystems Reports 24.1 has been released. Caché & Ensemble Production Operating Systems and CPU Architectures Previous Updates A reminder that the final Caché & Ensemble maintenance releases are scheduled for Q1-2027, which is coming up sooner than you think. See Jeff’s excellent community article for more info. InterSystems Supported Platforms Documentation The InterSystems Supported Platforms documentation is the definitive source information on supported technologies. IRIS 2024.1 Supported Server Platforms IRIS 2023.1 Supported Server Platforms IRIS 2022.1 Supported Server Platforms Caché & Ensemble 2018.1 Supported Server Platforms … and that’s all folks. Again, if there’s something more that you’d like to know about, please let us know.

Interoperability of systems ensures smooth workflow and management of data in today's connected digital world. InterSystems IRIS extends interoperability a notch higher with its Embedded Python feature, which lets developers seamlessly integrate Python scripts into the IRIS components, like services, operations, and custom functions. Why Embedded Python in IRIS?Embedded Python brings the flexibility of Python into the powerful world of InterSystems IRIS and provides the following: Access to Python Libraries: Leverage popular libraries such as pandas, NumPy, and requests for advanced data processing.Ease of Use: Python simplifies the implementation of complex logic.Efficient Interoperability: Develop services, operations, and transformations directly within IRIS, reducing the need for external tools.Below is the code I tried to implement for a python business operation: from iris import irisnative class SamplePythonOperation: def on_message(self, request): # Connect to IRIS conn = irisnative.createConnection("localhost", 1972, "USER", "_SYSTEM", "SYS") iris_obj = irisnative.createIRIS(conn) # Log the request message iris_obj.set("Received: " + request.get("MessageText"), "MyApp", "Log") # Process the request response = "Hello, " + request.get("MessageText") return {"Result": response} Embedded Python in InterSystems IRIS allows developers to leverage the flexibility of Python with the robustness of IRIS for interoperability solutions. In transforming data, building APIs, or integrating external systems, traditional expectations are that Embedded Python is a revolution for modern applications. Use Embedded Python today, and discover new avenues of seamless interoperability! wow, nice article, can you provide more information about how you register this python class into a production ? for the more, can you tell me what is the difference between embedded python and irisnative, i'm a bit confused. Thanks! Yes I can tell you that. For registering a class into a production, Navigate to Interoperability > Productions. Open or create a new production. Add a new Business Operation. Select the Python Adapter. In the Settings, specify your Python class name The adapter will invoke the method of the Python class whenever the operation receives input.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ And the difference between them is- Embedded Python runs natively within InterSystems IRIS, allowing you to build and integrate IRIS components like services or operations directly using Python. In contrast, irisnative is an external Python library for connecting to and interacting with an IRIS database from outside the IRIS environment, such as standalone scripts or external applications. Thanks, but i can't find the Python Adapter do you mean EnsLib.PEX.BusinessOperation or IOP.BusinessOperation. Next if Embedded Python runs natively on iris, why i have to declare a connection as you mention in your example ? Does this work best ? from iop import BusinessOperation class HelloWorld(BusinessOperation): def on_message(self, request): self.log_info("Hello World") Yes, You're right. Sorry for the confusion. By saying Python adapter, I meant EnsLib.PEX.BusinessOperation and also you're perfectly correct about the declaration too. irisnative is unnecessary for local interactions. I'm just trying things on iris so don't take me for an expert😄. Your code is correct and I would like to add that - 'from EnsLib.PEX import BusinessOperation' would be the best.

In the previous article. Practices of class members and their execution within embedded Python. We will now turn our attention to the process of switching namespaces, accessing global variables , traversing and routine executions within embedded Python. Before proceeding to the other functions. let us briefly review the execute function within the iris package. This function is exceptionally beneficial for executing the arbitrary ObjectScript functions and class invocation. >>> b = iris.execute('return $Piece("test^aaaa","^",2)')>>> b'aaaa'>>> b = iris.execute('return $Extract("123456",2,5)')>>> b'2345'>>> b = iris.execute('return $Length(123456)')>>> iris.execute('write ##Class(%SYSTEM.SYS).NameSpace()')LEARNING>>>>>> b = iris.execute('return ##Class(%SYSTEM.SYS).NameSpace()')>>> b'LEARNING' Let us begin! 4. Switch Namespaces Switching namespaces during execution is often necessary. However, unlike in IRIS, direct switching of namespaces within embedded Python is not feasible. Therefore, it is essential to utilize existing class definitions or to create a wrapper method to facilitate the switching of namespaces. ClassMethod SwitchNM() [ Language = python ] { import iris print(iris.cls('%SYSTEM.SYS').NameSpace()) print(iris.system.Process.SetNamespace("USER")) try: iris.cls('User.EmbeddedPython').pyGetTemplateString() except RuntimeError as e: print("Wrong NameSpace",e) } 5. Global To utilize the capabilities of global for data traversal or to retrieve information from legacy global systems directly, rather than through SQL or objects within embedded Python, one can access it directly by employing the gref function from the iris package. To set or get global values, the gref function can be utilized to establish a reference to the global variable and directly assign values within Python. iris.gref class gref(builtins.object) | InterSystems IRIS global reference object. | Use the iris.gref() method to obtain a reference to a global | | Methods defined here: | | __delitem__(self, key, /) | Delete self[key]. | | __getitem__(self, key, /) | Return self[key]. | | __len__(self, /) | Return len(self). | | __repr__(self, /) | Return repr(self). | | __setitem__(self, key, value, /) | Set self[key] to value. | | __str__(self, /) | Return str(self). | | data(self, key) | Given the keys of a global as a list, returns the state of that. | Example: x = g.data([i,j]) sets x to 0,1,10,11 0-if undefined, 1-defined, 10-undefined but has descendants, 11-has value and descendants | | get(self, key) | Given the keys of a global as a list, returns the value stored at that node of the global. | Example: x = g.get([i,j]) sets x to the value stored at key i,j of global g. | | getAsBytes(self, key) | Given the keys of a global as a list, returns a string stored at that node of the global, as bytes. | Example: x = g.getAsBytes([i,j]) sets x to the value stored at key i,j of global g, as bytes. | | keys(self, key) | Traverses a global starting at the specified key, returning each key in the global. | Example: for key in g.keys([i, j]) traverses g from key i,j, returning each key in turn. Optional second argumenent 1 or -1, if -1 reverses the returned order | | kill(self, key) | Given the keys of a global as a list, kills that node of the global and its subtree. | Example: g.kill([i,j]) kills the node stored at key i,j of global g and any descendants. | | order(self, key) | Given the keys of a global as a list, returns the next key of the global, optional second argument 1 or -1, if -1 returns the previous key. | Example: j = g.order([i,j]) sets j to the next second-level key of global g. | | orderiter(self, key) | Traverses a global starting at the specified key, returning the next key and value as a tuple. | Example: for (key, value) in g.orderiter([i,j]) traverses g from key i,j, returning the next key and value. Optional second argumenent 1 or -1, if -1 reverses the returned order. | | query(self, key) | Traverses a global starting at the specified key, returning each key and value as a tuple. | Example: for (key, value) in g.query([i,j]) traverses g from key i,j, returning each key and value in turn. Optional second argumenent 1 or -1, if -1 reverses the returned order. | | set(self, key, value) | Given the keys of a global as a list, sets the value stored at that key of the global. | Example: g.set([i,j], 10) sets the value of the node at key i,j of global g to 10 | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Static methods defined here: | | __new__(*args, **kwargs) from builtins.type | Create and return a new object. See help(type) for accurate signature. 5.1 Set global values ClassMethod SetGlobal() [ Language = python ] { import iris #create a global reference g = iris.gref('^mygbl') g[1],g[2]='Mon','Tue' g["95752455",1]=iris.execute('return $LFS("Ashok,55720,9639639639,test@gmail.com",",")') g["85752400",1]=iris.execute('return $LB("Test","9517539635","t@gmail.com")') g["test","c1"]=iris.execute('return ##Class(MyLearn.EmbeddedPython).executeAndGetResult()') # method wil return some listbuild values # declare values by using set function g.set([3],'Wed') g.set([3,1,1],'Test multilevel') } 5.2 get global valuesFetch the global values from python directly by using the subscripts or get method. ClassMethod GetGlobal() [ Language = python ] { import iris #gets a global reference g = iris.gref('^mybgl') # get values print(g[3,1,1]) print(g.get([2,1])) print(g["95752455",1]) } 5.3 Traversal order - Traversing the global is essential for collecting multiple level of data's from global. This embedded Python order functions similarly to the $Order command, utilizing the order function from the iris.gref. Initially, it is necessary to establish a reference to the global entity that requires traversal. Single subscript level traversal ClassMethod DollarOrder() [ Language = python ] { import iris g = iris.gref('^MyLearn.EmbeddedPythonD') # I use my persistent class global key = '' while True: key = g.order([key]) if key == None: break print(f'{key} {g.get([key])}') } Multi subscript level traversal global zw ^mygbl^mygbl(1)="Mon"^mygbl(2)="Tue"^mygbl(3)="Wed"^mygbl(3,1,1)="Test multilevel"^mygbl(85752400,1)=$lb("Test","9517539635","t@gmail.com")^mygbl(95752455,1)=$lb("Ashok","55720","9639639639","test@gmail.com")^mygbl("test","c1")=$lb("Test","8527538521","pylearn@gmail.com") ClassMethod DollarOrderMultiLevel() [ Language = python ] { import iris g = iris.gref('^mygbl') key1= '' while True: key1 = g.order([key1]) if key1== None: break key2 = '' while True: key2 = g.order([key1,key2]) if key2 == None: break value = g.get([key1,key2]) print(key1,key2,value) } query - query function from the iris.gref similarly $query. This function is collects all the global values in to tuples. the tuple result contains the id(s) in list and values is the next tuple. You can refer the below tuple sample tuple ex: zw ^mybgl^mybgl(1)="Mon"^mybgl(2)="Tue"^mybgl(3)="Wed"^mybgl(3,1,1)="Test multilevel"^mybgl(95752455,1)=$lb("Ashok","55720","9639639639","test@gmail.com") Python tuple : ( [ids], data)(['1'], 'Mon')(['2'], 'Tue')(['3'], 'Wed')(['3', '1', '1'], 'Test multilevel')(['95752455', '1'], '\x07\x01Ashok\x07\x0155720\x0c\x019639639639\x10\x01test@gmail.com') ClassMethod DollarQuery() [ Language = python ] { import iris g = iris.gref('^mygbl') key = g.query()#this will return tuples of all the subscripts for x in key: print(x) # output (['3', '1', '1'], 'Test multilevel') } data - this data function Check whether the given subscript is exist in the global and return the $data values by using the data function ClassMethod DollarData() [ Language = python ] { import iris g = iris.gref('^mygbl') key1= '' print(g.data([1])) } 6. Routines Furthermore, it is essential to implement the class members. We must execute the routines as part of the implementation for legacy codebase systems and other related situations. Consequently, there exists a dedicated function within the iris library package that allows for the invocation of routines from embedded python through the use of the routine function. myirispython.mac myirispython w 123 qir1 w "running ir1" qadd(p1,p2) public{return p1+p2}sub(p1,p2) s c= p1-p2 ClassMethod RunRoutines() [ Language = python ] { import iris iris.routine('^myirispython') iris.routine('add^myirispython',1,2) # same as write $$add^myirispython(1,2) } Additionally, you can execute the routine by using execute function as well. iris.execute('do ^myirispython') note: If the routine is not found >>> iris.routine('^myirispythonT')Traceback (most recent call last): File "<input>", line 1, in <module>RuntimeError: Routine not found Will continue the other topics in the next article. Great articles. Thanks for sharing. Why are you using Language Tag and not "pure" python script ? It's so much convient to work with native python script than python code in cls classes. Hello @Guillaume.Rongier7183 Thanks for the feedback! I go over your pretty useful article. I just write python code inside the ObjectScript itself by using language mode because of it's small code snippets. I actually facing some issues while writing IRIS in native python script. From my pervious community question. First I install this intersystems_irispython-3.2.0-py3-none-any.whl in python and there is no cls, execute, routine, gref, ref or other IRIS script functions available. As you recommend from the post. I install the official driver https://github.com/intersystems-community/intersystems-irispython/releases/download/3.8.0/intersystems_iris-3.8.0-py3-none-any.whl file and I could use the IRIS functions for embedded python cls, execute, routine, gref, ref etc... However, I got this ImportError: DLL load failed while importing pythonint: The specified module could not be found." error while executing the .py scripterror while executing my script script is nothing but simple class method invocation. import iris def Execute_Classmethod(): print(iris.cls('MyLearn.EmbeddedPython').test1()) Execute_Classmethod() anyway when I keep my native python scripts under "IRISinstalldirectory\mgr\python" and import my code as module and it's working because it's running inside the IRIS not using the python "driver" ClassMethod CallPyscripts() { set ap = "mypyap" set pyImport = ##class(%SYS.Python).Import(ap) set builtin = $SYSTEM.Python.Builtins() do builtin.help(pyImport) write pyImport.irisversion,! write pyImport."Execute_Classmethod1"() } #__init__.py import iris from .irisembdpyth2024 import * irisversion = iris.execute('return $zv') # irisembdpyth2024.py file import iris def Execute_Classmethod1(): print(iris.cls('MyLearn.EmbeddedPython').test1()) Hello Ashok, this is a great article, thanks for sharing it! However, I would like to ask how to create an oref using a property index. For example, considering the class: Class User.Test Extends %Persistent { Property Code As %String(MAXLEN = 50) [ Required ]; Index CodeIdx On CodeIdx [ Unique ]; } In ObjectScript I can use the following syntax to open the oref using its ID: set obj = ##class(User.Test).CodeIdxOpen(ID) In the same way I can use the CodeIdxDelete or CodeIdxExists as well. I was wondering how to obtain the same result in Embedded Python. Hello @Pietro.DiLeo AFAIK, There is no direct execution of the IndexKeyOpen and other generated methods in python. We can write a wrapper method to run those methods. Class pylearn.NewClass2 Extends %Persistent { Property Code As %String(MAXLEN = 50) [ Required ]; Index CodeIdx On Code [ Unique ]; ClassMethod RunCode() [ Language = python ] { import iris iris_obj = iris.cls(__name__).GeObjByIdx("CodeIdx","A212") print(iris_obj.Code) } ClassMethod GeObjByIdx(IndexName, ID) { Return $ClassMethod(,IndexName_"Open",ID) } } Thanks for the clarification Ashok! I solved in a similar way. It would be good in a future version to have the possibility of executing generated methods too.
