Introduction Visual Studio Code (VS Code) is a free source code editor made by Microsoft for Windows, Linux, and macOS. It provides built-in support for JavaScript, TypeScript, and Node.js. You can add extensions to provide support for numerous other languages including ObjectScript. The InterSystems extensions enable you to use VS Code to connect to an InterSystems IRIS server and develop code in ObjectScript. The Visual Studio Code Documentation is an excellent resource on VS Code, so it is a good idea to be familiar with it. Development in ObjectScript involves both your local client machine and an InterSystems IRIS server. Because both resources are required, workflow is different from that typical for many languages. Source code files are edited on the client, and saved to the local disk where they can be managed with a Version Control System. In addition, source files are exported to an InterSystems IRIS server, where they can be compiled, run, and debugged. Below is the list of VSCode extensions: 1 - InterSystems Server Manager Extension InterSystems Server Manager is a Visual Studio Code extension for defining connections to InterSystems servers. These definitions can used by other VS Code extensions when they make connections. Installation Open VSCode and click on Extensions Icon Type intersystems in the search field to find these extensions in the Marketplace, as illustrated in the following screenshot:Click on Install, Once installed InterSystems Icon will appear in the sidebar. Click on it 1.1 Define Connections to IS Server Click on Add Server (+ icon) Enter the name of the server e.g "Local Instance", description (Optional), Hostname or IP address, Port of Web server, and Username. The first time you expand a server in the tree VS Code displays a modal dialog asking for your permission: 1.2 View Server Tree Server Manager displays connection definitions as a tree on an InterSystems Tools view: In this tree, you can: Launch the InterSystems Management Portal, either in a VS Code tab or in your default browser. List namespaces. Add namespaces to your VS Code workspace for viewing or editing source code on the server, including web application (formerly CSP) files, with the ObjectScript extension. Tag favorite servers. Set icon colors. Focus on recently used connections. Add new servers, and edit existing ones. 1.3 Launching Management Portal When you hover over a server entry in the tree two command buttons let you launch InterSystems Management Portal. The first button uses VS Code's Simple Browser feature, which creates a tab alongside any documents you may have open. The second button opens Portal in your workstation's default web browser. 1.4 Amending and Removing Servers From a server's context menu, or from Server Manager's top-right '...' menu, choose Edit Settings. This opens VS Code's Settings Editor and filters its contents. Click on Edit in settings.json link The Server can be added, modified, or deleted by modifying the settings 2 - InterSystems ObjectScript Extension This extension provides language support for Visual Studio Code. Before installing this extension you must install InterSystems Server Manager Extension as it has a dependency on it.Just click on the Install button to install the Extension. 2.1 View/Edit code Once installed, Follow below steps to view/edit code in Namespace Now we can Add/Modify code from the VSCode editor. Click on the Add New file icon to add a new class 2.2 Save and Compile Code While saving, the system will compile and save the code to the server 2.3 Code completion Upon writing code, this extension will provide a code completion option 2.4 Intellisense Support This extension provides Intellisense support for commands, system functions, and class members 2.5 Code highlighting Select any text from the code and the system will highlight all the related appearances 2.6 Debug code Click beside the code line number to add a breakpoint, and click Debug on the top of the method signature 2.7 Direct Access This extension provides Direct access to edit or view server code in the VS Code Explorer via isfs and isfs-readonly FileSystemProviders. Server-side source control is respected. 2.8 Go to definition support Go to definition for ObjectScript classes, class members, macros, routines, routine labels, and embedded SQL tables, fields and class methods and queries invoked as SQL procedures. 3 - InterSystems Language Server Extension Language Server is meant to provide the language-specific smarts and communicate with development tools over a protocol that enables inter-process communication.Before installing this extension you must install InterSystems Server Manager and InterSystems Objectscript Extension as this Extension has a dependencies on it. 3.1 Semantic token-based coloring Semantic token-based coloring for InterSystems ObjectScript classes, routines and CSP files, with support for embedded languages like SQL, Python, HTML, XML, Java, JavaScript and CSS. 3.2 Embedded Language Support Provide support for embedded languages like SQL, Python, HTML, XML, Java, JavaScript and CSS. 3.3 Hover information for ObjectScript commands Hover information for ObjectScript commands, system functions, system variables, classes, class members, macros, preprocessor directives, UDL keywords, Parameter types, Storage definition keywords, and embedded SQL tables, fields and class methods and queries invoked as SQL procedures. 3.4 Override Class Members To override inherited class members, Right click and select the Override Class members option. Select the class member type for override from the list. e.g select class member type "Method"Search/select %OnNew methodEnter desired code 3.5 Code Completion (ObjectScript/XML) Code completion for ObjectScript classes, class members, system functions, system variables, macros, include files, package imports, preprocessor directives, UDL keywords, UDL keyword values, UDL Parameter types and UDL Storage definition keywords. Code completion for properties referenced using instance variable syntax (i%PropertyName) must be triggered manually using Ctrl-Space with the cursor immediately after the i% 3.6 Method Signature Help Signature help for ObjectScript methods and macros that accept arguments. 3.7 Code Linting Code linting for ObjectScript and UDL that checks for the following: Syntax errors, including for embedded languages. References to local variables that are undefined. Classes and routines that don't exist in the database. Invalid UDL Parameter types. Mismatches between declared UDL Parameter types and the assigned value. Classes, Methods, Parameters and Properties that are Deprecated. $ZUTIL functions that are deprecated or have been superseded. 3.8 Folding Ranges The extension supports Folder Ranges for the following: ObjectScript code blocks (If/ElseIf/Else, Try/Catch, For, While, etc.) UDL class members ObjectScript routine labels UDL descriptions ObjectScript documentation comments (/// in first column) XML tags in XData blocks Storage XML tags JSON in XData blocks %DynamicObject and %DynamicArray ObjectScript preprocessor code blocks Multi-line macro definitions Dotted Do blocks Embedded code blocks (SQL, HTML, JavaScript) 3.9 Code refactoring Wrapping a block of ObjectScript code in a Try/Catch block. In the same way, we can Extract a block of ObjectScript code from an existing method to a new method 3.10 Type Hierarchy Provider for ObjectScript classes to show subclasses and superclasses in a hierarchical tree view: NOTE : The best way to install and use these extensions is by installing the "InterSystems ObjectScript Extension Pack" which installs a set of the above extensions.Click on install from the extensions to install a set of 3 extension packs. Thanks Hi Muhammad, great article! Do you know by chance how to switch from an instance to another through the ObjectScript extension? I have a local folder where I'm setting up a Docker instance, but the folder is linked to my IRIS local instance and it is not possible to unlink them even by doing Toggle connection or Refresh connection. Of course, I would like to connect to my containerized instance instead. Thanks :) Hi @Pietro.DiLeo,I appreciate your feedback. did you try by modifying the server settings? Hi @Muhammad.Waseem, in the end I found a solution modifying the settings.json file, which contained all the info about my connection If you use server side editing, you can have as many servers/namespaces as you need in Explorer. In many environments server side editing in much more convenient. Thanks @Enrico.Parisi, this is interesting. I'm going to check it out

Hi guys, Apparently, I'm doing something wrong. Opened the InterSystems IRIS Cloud SQL, clicked on View Purchase Options and got an error: Something tells me that contacting AWS customer support won't help. What should be my steps to get access to it to try it out? For me it took a few days to solve a bit different issue, but only with InterSystems, that had to fix something on their site. I’d recommend contacting them through iservice, probably they can help @Benjamin.DeBoe please take a look Please open an iService ticket to request assistance, referencing your AWS account details. Can't even log in there - I get asked for a login and password in a loop 😭🤣 It doesn't seem to work for the Developer Community moderators' accounts.

For some time I have been planning to do some type of proof of concept with the Workflow functionality, which, like so many other functionalities present in IRIS, tends to go quite unnoticed by our clients (and for which I say mea culpa). That's why I decided a few days ago to develop an example of how to configure and exploit this functionality by connecting it with a user interface developed in Angular. To avoid a very long article and make it more accessible, I am going to divide it into 3. In this first article I will present the functionality of Workflow as well as the example that we are going to solve. The second article will go into detail about the configuration and implementation of the production that will be responsible for managing the Workflow. Finally we will show how to access the information available in our Worflow through a web application. InterSystems IRIS Workflow Engine What better way to explain what this Workflow functionality is than to copy the description given in the IRIS documentation. A workflow management system automates the distribution of tasks among users. Automating the distribution of tasks according to a predefined strategy makes task assignment more efficient and task execution more responsible. A typical example is a help desk application that accepts problem reports from customers, sends the reports to members of the appropriate organizations for action, and, once the problem is resolved, reports the results to the customer. InterSystems IRIS Workflow Engine provides a much higher level of functionality than traditional, stand-alone workflow management systems. Where do we find the Workflow functionalities in our IRIS? Very simple, from the Management Portal: Let's briefly explain each of the available options before getting into the example project. Workflow Roles This option refers to roles in which we will classify the users who will use the functionality. The definition of role is somewhat confusing, I particularly prefer to see it more as types of tasks that we can create from our production. The name assigned to these roles must match the names of the Business Operations that we will later declare in our production to create tasks associated with said roles. Workflow Users IRIS users who can be assigned to different tasks will be associated with one or more roles. Users must be registered with IRIS. Workflow Tasks List of tasks created in the system with their associated information. From this window, tasks can be assigned to the different users corresponding to the task role. What are these tasks? Very simple, the tasks are instances of the EnsLib.Workflow.TaskRequest class, the object of this type will be sent from the Business Process in which it has been generated to a Business Operation of the class EnsLib.Workflow.Operation and with the name of the role that we have previously created. This action will in turn create an instance of the EnsLib.Workflow.TaskResponse class. The Business Operation will not return a response until the CompleteTask method of the TaskResponse class instance is executed. Workflow Worklist Similar to the previous functionality, it also shows us a list of tasks with the information associated with them. Workflow example The project that you can find associated with this article presents a simplified example of a solution to a typical problem of health organizations such as the treatment of chronic patients. These types of patients require continuous control and strict monitoring for which in many cases the professionals involved in care do not have the most appropriate means. In the example we are going to see how we can monitor patients with hypertension. We will assume that patients take their blood pressure daily with a blood pressure monitor that will send the reading to the server on which our InterSystems IRIS is installed. In the event that the blood pressure reading exceeds 140 systolic and 90 diastolic values, the patient will be informed that the blood pressure must be taken a second time after a certain time and, if the reading exceeds the limits again, both the patient and the doctor will be informed of the situation so that they can decide what action to take. To do this, we will divide this task flow into two stages: Stage 1: Receiving daily blood pressure reading. Reception in the production of HL7 message with blood pressure measurements. Checking the existence of the user in the system (and creating it if it does not exist), subsequently registering the user in the roles involved in the workflow. Extraction of blood pressure data and comparison with the alert criterion. If the data exceeds the alert criteria: Creation of a task for the patient informing them of the situation and requesting a new blood pressure measurement. Creation of automatic task to manage the second blood pressure reading. If the data does not exceed the alert criteria, the process is closed until the next reading is received the next day. Stage 2: Reception of second reading after the first reading exceeds the alert values. Reception of the HL7 message with the second data reading. Pending automatic task recovery. If blood pressure levels exceed the alert criteria: The automatic task is closed indicating the warning status. A manual task is created for the doctor reporting the patient's situation. A manual task is created for the patient alerting them to the situation and that their doctor has been informed. If levels do not exceed alert criteria: The automatic task is closed indicating that there is no danger. In the next article we will go into more detail on the design of our flow chart in charge of reflecting what was stated above. User interface As you have seen in the attached screenshots, the user interface that InterSystems IRIS provides for task management is, to say the least, quite spartan, but one of the advantages we have with IRIS is that we can create our own API REST to manage our task flow in a very simple way, we will discuss this point in our last article. To offer a friendly interface to users, we have developed a small web application in Angular using Angular Material that will allow us to create an interface simulating a mobile application. This mobile application will connect to InterSystems IRIS using JSON Web Tokens and will make HTTP requests to a specific web application published in IRIS, in such a way that the actions taken by the different actors on the tasks are reflected in the defined task flow. In the next chapter... After this introduction to the Workflow functionality, in our next article we will show how to implement the task flow necessary to solve the example that we have presented using a BPL, we will configure the entire production and we will see what the main classes involved in the Workflow are like (EnsLib.Workflow.TaskRequest and EnsLib.Workflow.TaskResponse). Thank you all very much for your attention! Thank you @Robert.Cemper1003 for your kind review! Great app, @LuisAngel.PérezRamos ! There is a set of other apps on OEX that are intended to improve the UI experience. Here is the API by @Eduard.Lebedyuk , Frontend 1 and Frontend 2 by @Sergei.Sarkisian , I'm not sure though which is preferrable?

InterSystems worked closely with the Red Hat Insights team to implement a curated set of recommendations for system administrators to ensure the best experience running InterSystems IRIS on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). Included with all RHEL subscriptions, the Insights service proactively identifies potential issues with monitored platforms and applications running on RHEL. Through our joint collaboration, Insights now watches for common scenarios that decrease the performance of IRIS in most cases and offers an InterSystems-approved recommendation for consideration. Ten recommendations are currently implemented and can be found under the “InterSystems” topic within the Insights Advisor service. Advisor recommendations help in areas including: Performance Tuning Guidance. We provide best practices for configuring HugePages, Transparent HugePages (THP), swappiness, shmmax kernel parameters, and more. Product Compatibility. Insights highlights which versions of InterSystems products are encouraged to be used to provide the best experience. Journaling and High-availability Configuration Suggestions, like Write Image Journaling (WIJ) drive mapping, identifying an arbiter to support automatic failure, or enabling FreezeOnError for better integrity and recoverability of InterSystems IRIS database. Every recommendation contains details about the detected RHEL version, InterSystems IRIS instance information, and system-specific step-by-step instructions to remediate the detected issue. Links to the InterSystems documentation are also provided for further reference. Enable Insights with InterSystems today. Registering your systems with Red Hat Insights is very straightforward and typically requires only a single command to be executed. Alternatively, the Red Hat registration assistant application can be used to complete the necessary steps based on your setup. Analysis of InterSystems IRIS workloads does not require additional steps and is enabled once systems are registered with Insights. Specific recommendations can easily be turned off if they are not applicable to your environment. Head to Red Hat Insights to learn more about the service and get started with the registration assistant. Talk with Red Hat experts at InterSystems Global Summit 2024. Red Hat will be exhibiting at InterSystems Global Summit June 9-12 and available to discuss Insights and other Red Hat capabilities. Great article! Thanks for sharing it with our Community :) This is great!!!!!!

In our previous article we presented the general concepts as well as the problem that we wanted to solve by using the task engine integrated in InterSystems IRIS, in today's article we will see how we configure an interoperability production to provide a solution. Workflow Engine Configuration First we are going to define the roles of the tasks that we are going to manage, in our example we are going to define two types: AutomaticBloodPressureRole: to create automatic tasks that will have no intervention from the user. ManualBloodPressureRole: to create those tasks that the user must manually validate. It will not be necessary to assign users to these roles since we will do it later as we go along as we receive HL7 messages from different patients. We also do not need to add IRIS users to the Workflow since we will do it by code from production. Production setup For our example we are going to create a production within a NAMESPACE created ad-hoc and which we have called WORKFLOW. It will be in this production where we will include the business components that we need. Let's start by explaining the simplest components: Business Services HL7_File_IN: responsible for collecting HL7 files from a specific server path that will simulate receiving messaging from a medical device. Business Operations AutomaticBloodPressureRole:component of the class EnsLib.Workflow.Operation, with the name of one of the defined roles that we will use to generate in our Workflow the tasks that will not involve direct interaction with the user. ManualBloodPressureRole: similar to the previous Business Operation, but in this case the tasks we generate will require the user to intervene directly to close them. Let's now see in detail the Business Process that will manage the flow of information and the creation and management of the tasks involved in our cycle. Workflow.BP.BloodPressurePlan This Business Process is of the BPL type and will be responsible for creating the tasks involved in patient care and capturing the response, both from the patient and from the medical device that will send the information related to blood pressure levels. Start of the process: In this part the flow does the following: Checking user: checks the user received in the received ADT^A08 message and if it exists, continues moving through the flow, otherwise it creates the user in IRIS and assigns it to the roles defined in the workflow. To assign users to the role, it runs the following command: /// Workflow user creation set sc = ##class(EnsLib.Workflow.UserDefinition).CreateUser(username) /// Assigning Workflow user to the role set sc = ##class(EnsLib.Workflow.RoleDefinition).AddUserToRole(role, username) Get automatic task: Since in this flow we are going to manage both automatic and manual tasks, we must check if there are pending automatic tasks for the user for the patient received. This is relevant since if there are pending automatic tasks it means that we have had a previous reading whose values exceed normal levels. We will do the checking directly on the TaskResponse table where all the created tasks are saved, the query will be as follows: &sql(SELECT ID INTO :taskId FROM EnsLib_Workflow.TaskResponse WHERE TaskStatus_AssignedTo = :username AND TaskStatus_IsComplete = 0 AND %RoleName = :role) Getting count of OBX: we retrieve the number of OBX segments from our HL7 message. Check OBX values: we go through the OBX segments and extract only the data related to blood pressure. Pending tasks?: As we said in point 2, we check if we have a pending automatic task or not. First blood pressure reading: In this part of the flow we will deal with those messages that are not generated by a first reading that exceeds the defined maximum blood pressure levels. Check pressure: We check if blood pressure levels exceed pre-established limits; if they do not, the process will conclude without the need to do anything else. Otherwise it will be necessary to create the necessary tasks. Create manual task: The blood pressure has exceeded the defined safety levels, so it will be necessary to create a manual task in which we will inform the patient of the situation, indicating that they must take a second reading. Let's see the configuration of this activity. We will invoke the Business Operation ManualBloodPressureRole which will be in charge of generating the task by passing it a message of type EnsLib.Workflow.TaskRequest. We will define the actions that the patient can perform separated by commas in callrequest.%Actions, in this case we have only defined the "Accept" action. We configure the message that will be shown to the patient in callrequest.%Message. We assign the patient the created task by defining her username in callrequest.%UserName. Finally we will indicate a subject or title in callequest.%Subject and a priority (between 1 and 3) in callrequest.%Priority. Create auto task: similar to the previous activity configuration, but this time we will send it to the Business Operation AutomaticBloodPressureRole. This task will be the one that will be kept waiting for the patient's second blood pressure reading and will be the one that will cause any new message received by production for this patient not to generate new tasks by obtaining a false in the Pending task? activity. Wait for tasks: This activity will keep the task flow on hold until the task and manual are completed, that is, until the patient closes the alarm created by ManualBloodPressureRole and the IRIS production receives a second message from the medical device. Check if warning: We will get to this activity once the previous pending tasks have been closed. At this point we will check if the closing of the automatic task has received a new reading with levels that exceed the maximum configured blood pressure values (the task will be closed with a warning action) or not. If the measurement is less than the maximum values, the process will conclude. If the measurements exceed the maximum values, you will move on to the next activity. Warning task for doctor: A manual task is created to inform the doctor assigned to the patient that the patient may be suffering a crisis. Warning task for patient: we inform the patient with a new manual task that his doctor has been informed of the situation. Second blood pressure reading This part of the flow will only be accessed when there is a previously created automatic task that has not been completed. Check pressure: We again validate for the message received whether the blood pressure values exceed the limit or not. Close normal task: If the levels do not exceed the maximum values, we will close the pending task with the CompleteTask method provided by the EnsLib.Workflow.TaskResponse class that our task instantiates. The parameter used will indicate the action taken, in this case we will indicate that it is a false alarm by passing the value FalseAlarm, we could define any other one we want. Close warning task:Same as in the previous case, with the difference that in this case the action that we pass to the Workflow engine will be Warning and that it will be the value that the "Check if warning" activity that we have seen previously will check. As you can see in the following diagram (it is not literal but you can get an idea of how it will work), our task flow will work with 2 "threads" or "processes": The first thread/process will remain open in case it is necessary to wait for a second reading and it will be the second thread/process that will cause the reactivation of the first open thread upon receiving said second reading, thus concluding the defined task flow. Conclusion As you can see, configuring a task flow in a BPL is quite simple, and you can simulate automatic and manual tasks without much complication. In the next and last article we will see how users can interact with their tasks from an external application. Thank you all for your attention!

Hi Community, Play the new video on InterSystems Developers YouTube: ⏯ Using LLMs with InterSystems IRIS Interoperability Productions @ Global Summit 2024 When we think of Large Language Models (LLMs), we usually think of chatbots like ChatGPT. These mimic human communication and are great for interacting with humans. But what if we have a different use case, such as a requirement for machine- readable output? Prompt engineering allows us to influence the output of the model. This video uses examples (e.g. sentiment analysis) to show how you can use InterSystems IRIS Productions, Embedded Python, and REST APIs to realize your own LLM-based applications. This can be done either by using self-hosted models to achieve maximum data protection or by using web services to gain access to the most powerful models currently available. 🗣 Presenter: @Andreas.Schuetz, Sales Engineer, InterSystems Enjoy watching, and expect more videos! 👍
