The preview release of InterSystems HealthShare Health Connect 2019.1 is now available! Kits and container images are available via WRC's preview download site. InterSystems HealthShare Health Connect version 2019.1 is the first version of InterSystems HealthShare Health Connect synchronized with InterSystems IRIS, and includes many new features and capabilities, most notably: FHIR STU3 Support Java Business Hosts Managed File Transfer (MFT) Containerized and cloud deployment New interoperability capabilities that speed configuring and troubleshooting of productions These are detailed in the draft documentation and release notes for InterSystems HealthShare Health Connect (Note that the Health Connect documentation is currently available only to registered healthcare customers via an SSO login.) Preview releases allow our customers to get an early start working with new features and functionality. They are supported for development and test purposes, but not for production. This preview release does not provide an upgrade from earlier versions of InterSystems HealthShare Health Connect; if you are interested in testing the upgrade process, please contact your InterSystems representative. We noticed that SAMPLES DB appears to be missing, was this intentional? Are you planning to add it in the official release? Also, will there separate notification on build releases with list of fixes? Thank youYuriy The IRIS-based products don't ship a SAMPLES database. Instead there's a documented procedure for setting up your own, then fetching the samples you want.

I am unable to connect to InterSystems ODBC client. I am seeing the following error: [Cache ODBC][State : S1000][Native Code 417] Access denied. $cnx = new PDO("odbc:Driver={InterSystems ODBC};Server=<IP>;Uid=<id>;Pwd=<password>;"); Am i doing anything wrong? Although, I can successfully connect and retrieve data in MS Excel using ODBC connection where I have configured my DSN and all If you're using InterSystems IRIS try this connection string (replacing values with appropriate): "Driver=InterSystems ODBC Driver;Host=127.0.0.1;Port=56772;Database=USER;UID=myUsername;PWD=" and for Caché/Ensemble try (driver name could be InterSystems ODBC): "Driver=Cache ODBC Driver;Host=127.0.0.1;Port=1972;Database=USER;UID=myUsername;PWD=" If the problem persist, check Audit log. i got the same error message, have you solved the problem?

Hi Community! We're pleased to announce that that InterSystems IRIS Community Edition is available on the Docker Store! InterSystems IRIS Community Edition is the no-cost developer edition designed to lower the barriers to entry to get started with IRIS. Now that it is listed on the Docker Store, running an IRIS Community instance is as easy as - docker run -d -p 52773:52773 store/intersystems/iris:2019.1.0.511.0-community For more on running IRIS in containers check out our Documentation or one of the many Community posts on the topic! Confirming that! Really great news, Joe! What are the limitations of Community edition? One limitation I can see straight away is that this version only includes outdated files for Node.js (ie the iris*.node files). All I see is iris610.node and iris700.node. Is there a reason why the Node.js version 8 and version 10 interface files haven't been included? What a wonderful news There's a section about Community Edition limitations in the document at https://irisdocs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=ACLOUD#ACLOUD_limitsHere's a screenshot of what it currently says:A big disappointment for me is the exclusion of namespace mapping. Those of us who create tools for the InterSystems world commonly use namespace mapping to make our tools available in the users' namespaces. See Evgeny's article here I downloaded IRIS Community edition (store/intersystems/iris:2019.1.0.510.0-community) and was able to create package and global mappings without any issues. I was able to create the mappings, but they don't seem to work for me. Not even after an IRIS restart.I'm using the %ALL pseudo-namespace. I created these mappings (no restarts):Ens* global mapping for ENSLIB -> USERDeepSee* global mapping for ENSLIB -> %ALLEns* package mapping for ENSLIB -> USERHere's the result: I notice that your mappings get code from ENSLIBMy use-case is a bit different.Can you create a new database and namespace pair called XYZ and then define a %ALL mapping so that the globals ^XYZ and the routines XYZ* and the package XYZ get fetched from your XYZ namespace from all other namespaces, e.g. USER ?I'd expect mappings to ENSLIB to work, otherwise the "Ensemble" features of IRIS would be broken in Community Edition.It seems to me that those are allowed but mappings we define to our own databases get ignored. Yeah, apparently only DeepSee and Ens packages/globals can be mapped successfully.Tried random package and it didn't show up even after mapping to %ALL. Thanks, Rob!Introduced your issue here. Please share more requests and feedback there Thanks, John!Your feedback is filed here. Also here. I beat you to it! This is a restriction in the Community Edition and it is what is meant byAll InterSystems IRIS functionality is included except the following:Namespace mapping...You can create mappings and activate configurations which contain mappings if that is useful for some purpose (eg. building a configuration for someone else) however all mappings which do not involve a system database are ignored.

InterSystems has corrected a memory leak in applications that pass by reference to a formal parameter that accepts a variable number of arguments. This problem exists for: InterSystems IRIS Data Platform – all currently released versions InterSystems IRIS for Health – all currently released versions HealthShare Health Connect 2019.1.0 If this defect occurs, the process partition will eventually be exhausted, resulting in a <STORE> error. The defect occurs if application code calls a subroutine passing an argument by reference to a parameter that accepts a variable number of arguments using the … syntax. For background on these topics and more examples of code that uses them, see the “Variable Number of Parameters” and the “Passing By Reference” sections in the “Callable User-defined Code Modules” chapter of Using ObjectScript in the documentation (Docs.InterSystems.com). Here is an example to demonstrate the defect: test // CDS3148 test set (var1,var2,var3)=0 do sub(var1,.var2,var3) quit sub(arg1,args…) quit USER>for i=1:1:1000 { do ^test } write $S 268301128 USER>for i=1:1:1000 { do ^test } write $S 268276552 USER> This subroutine call would also demonstrate the defect: do sub(var1,var2,.var3) But this one would not: do sub(.var1,var2,var3) The correction for this defect is identified as CDS3148. It will be included in all future product releases. It is also available via Ad hoc distribution from the InterSystems Worldwide Response Center (WRC). If you have any questions regarding this alert, please contact the Worldwide Response Center.

Scott!Want to invite you to participate in the Second Developer Community Contest!Hope we will not show errors in leaderboard this time :)

# InterSystems Data Platforms and performance - Part 5 Monitoring with SNMP In previous posts I have shown how it is possible to collect historical performance metrics using pButtons. I go to pButtons first because I know it is installed with every Data Platforms instance (Ensemble, Caché, …). However there are other ways to collect, process and display Caché performance metrics in real time either for simple monitoring or more importantly for much more sophisticated operational analytics and capacity planning. One of the most common methods of data collection is to use SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). SNMP a standard way for Caché to provide management and monitoring information to a wide variety of management tools. The Caché online documentation includes details of the interface between Caché and SNMP. While SNMP should 'just work' with Caché there are some configuration tricks and traps. It took me quite a few false starts and help from other folks here at InterSystems to get Caché to talk to the Operating System SNMP master agent, so I have written this post so you can avoid the same pain. In this post I will walk through the set up and configuration of SNMP for Caché on Red Hat Linux, you should be able to use the same steps for other \*nix flavours. I am writing the post using Red Hat because Linux can be a little more tricky to set up - on Windows Caché automatically installs a DLL to connect with the standard Windows SNMP service so should be easier to configure. Once SNMP is set up on the server side you can start monitoring using any number of tools. I will show monitoring using the popular PRTG tool but there are many others - [Here is a partial list.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_network_monitoring_systems) Note the Caché and Ensemble MIB files are included in the `Caché_installation_directory/SNMP` folder, the file are: `ISC-CACHE.mib` and `ISC-ENSEMBLE.mib`. #### Previous posts in this series: - [Part 1 - Getting started on the Journey, collecting metrics.](https://community.intersystems.com/post/intersystems-data-platforms-and-performance-%E2%80%93-part-1) - [Part 2 - Looking at the metrics we collected.](https://community.intersystems.com/post/intersystems-data-platforms-and-performance-%E2%80%93-part-2) - [Part 3 - Focus on CPU.](https://community.intersystems.com/post/intersystems-data-platforms-and-performance-%E2%80%93-part-3-focus-cpu) - [Part 4 - Looking at memory.](https://community.intersystems.com/post/intersystems-data-platforms-and-performance-part-4-looking-memory) # Start here... Start by reviewing Monitoring Caché Using SNMP in the [Caché online documentation](http://docs.intersystems.com/latest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=GCM_snmp). ## 1. Caché configuration Follow the steps in _Managing SNMP in Caché_ section in the [Caché online documentation](http://docs.intersystems.com/latest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=GCM_snmp) to enable the Caché monitoring service and configure the Caché SNMP subagent to start automatically at Caché startup. Check that the Caché process is running, for example look on the process list or at the OS: ps -ef | grep SNMP root 1171 1097 0 02:26 pts/1 00:00:00 grep SNMP root 27833 1 0 00:34 pts/0 00:00:05 cache -s/db/trak/hs2015/mgr -cj -p33 JOB^SNMP Thats all, Caché configuration is done! ## 2. Operating system configuration There is a little more to do here. First check that the snmpd daemon is installed and running. If not then install and start snmpd. Check snmpd status with: service snmpd status Start or Stop snmpd with: service snmpd start|stop If snmp is not installed then you will have to install as per OS instructions, for example: yum -y install net-snmp net-snmp-utils ## 3. Configure snmpd As detailed in the Caché documentation, on Linux systems the most important task is to verify that the SNMP master agent on the system is compatible with the Agent Extensibility (AgentX) protocol (Caché runs as a subagent) and the master is active and listening for connections on the standard AgentX TCP port 705. This is where I ran into problems. I made some basic errors in the `snmp.conf` file that meant the Caché SNMP subagent was not communicating with the OS master agent. The following sample `/etc/snmp/snmp.conf` file has been configured to start agentX and provide access to the Caché and ensemble SNMP MIBs. _Note you will have to confirm whether the following configuration complies with your organisations security policies._ At a minimum the following lines must be edited to reflect your system set up. For example change: syslocation "System_Location" to syslocation "Primary Server Room" Also edit the at least the following two lines: syscontact "Your Name" trapsink Caché_database_server_name_or_ip_address public Edit or replace the existing `/etc/snmp/snmp.conf` file to match the following: ############################################################################### # # snmpd.conf: # An example configuration file for configuring the NET-SNMP agent with Cache. # # This has been used successfully on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and running # the snmpd daemon in the foreground with the following command: # # /usr/sbin/snmpd -f -L -x TCP:localhost:705 -c./snmpd.conf # # You may want/need to change some of the information, especially the # IP address of the trap receiver of you expect to get traps.

The following examples show you other ways of configuring # the agent so that you can change the community names, and give # yourself write access to the mib tree as well. # # For more information, read the FAQ as well as the snmpd.conf(5) # manual page. # #### # First, map the community name "public" into a "security name" # sec.name source community com2sec notConfigUser default public #### # Second, map the security name into a group name: # groupName securityModel securityName group notConfigGroup v1 notConfigUser group notConfigGroup v2c notConfigUser #### # Third, create a view for us to let the group have rights to: # Make at least snmpwalk -v 1 localhost -c public system fast again. # name incl/excl subtree mask(optional) # access to 'internet' subtree view systemview included .1.3.6.1 # access to Cache MIBs Caché and Ensemble view systemview included .1.3.6.1.4.1.16563.1 view systemview included .1.3.6.1.4.1.16563.2 #### # Finally, grant the group read-only access to the systemview view. # group context sec.model sec.level prefix read write notif access notConfigGroup "" any noauth exact systemview none none After editing the `/etc/snmp/snmp.conf` file restart the snmpd deamon. service snmpd restart Check the snmpd status, note that AgentX has been started see the status line: __Turning on AgentX master support.__ h-4.2# service snmpd restart Redirecting to /bin/systemctl restart snmpd.service sh-4.2# service snmpd status Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status snmpd.service ● snmpd.service - Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Daemon.

I use the free iReasoning MIB Browser. You will have to load the ISC-CACHE.MIB file into the client so it knows the structure of the MIB. The following image shows the iReasoning MIB Browser on OSX.  ## Including in Monitoring tools This is where there can be wide differences in implementation. The choice of monitoring or analytics tool I will leave up to you. _Please leave comments to the post detailing the tools and value you get from them for monitoring and managing your systems. This will be a big help for other community members._ Below is a screen shot from the popular _PRTG_ Network Monitor showing Caché metrics. The steps to include Caché metrics in PRTG are similar to other tools.  ### Example workflow - adding Caché MIB to monitoring tool. #### Step 1. Make sure you can connect to the operating system MIBs. A tip is to do your trouble-shooting against the operating system not Caché. It is most likely that monitoring tools already know about and are preconfigured for common operating system MIBs so help form vendors or other users may be easier. Depending on the monitoring tool you choose you may have to add an SNMP 'module' or 'application', these are generally free or open source. I found the vendor instructions pretty straight forward for this step. Once you are monitoring the operating system metrics its time to add Caché. #### Step 2. Import the `ISC-CACHE.mib` and `ISC-ENSEMBLE.mib` into the tool so that it knows the MIB structure. The steps here will vary; for example PRTG has a 'MIB Importer' utility. The basic steps are to open the text file `ISC-CACHE.mib` in the tool and import it to the tools internal format. For example Splunk uses a Python format, etc. _Note:_ I found the PRTG tool timed out if I tried to add a sensor with all the Caché MIB branches. I assume it was walking the whole tree and timed out for some metrics like process lists, I did not spend time troubleshooting this, instead I worked around this problem by only importing the performance branch (cachePerfTab) from the `ISC-CACHE.mib`. Once imported/converted the MIB can be reused to collect data from other servers in your network. The above graphic shows PRTG using Sensor Factory sensor to combine multiple sensors into one chart. # Summary There are many monitoring, alerting and some very smart analytics tools available, some free, others with licences for support and many and varied functionality. You must monitor your system and understand what activity is normal, and what activity falls outside normal and must be investigated. SNMP is a simple way to expose Caché and Ensemble metrics. I was asked a couple of questions offline, so the following is to answer them: _Q1. In your article, why do you say it is necessary to change information strings in snmpd.conf? (ie. syslocation/syscontact)?_ A1. What I mean is that you should change syslocation and syscontact to reflect your site, but leaving them as the defaults in the sample will not stop SNMP working using this sample `snmpd.conf`file. _Q2. you also mention basic errors you made in configuring it, which were these? It might be helpful to mention the debugging facilities for snmp `(^SYS("MONITOR","SNMP","DEBUG") )` as well?_ A2. One problem was misconfiguring the security settings in `snmpd.conf`. Following the example above will get you there. I also spun my wheels with what turned out to be a spelling (or case) error on the line `agentXSocket tcp:localhost:705`. In the end I figured out the problem was to do with agentX not starting by looking at the logs written to the `install-dir/mgr/SNMP.log` file. Caché logs any problems encountered while establishing a connection or answering requests in the `SNMP.log`. You should also check `cconsole.log` and the logs for snmpd in the OS. On Windows, iscsnmp.dll logs any errors it encounters in %System%\System32\snmpdbg.log (on a 64–bit Windows system, this file is in the SysWOW64 subdirectory). As pointed out in Fabian's question more information can be logged to the SNMP.log if you set ^SYS("MONITOR","SNMP","DEBUG")=1 in the %SYS namespace and restart the ^SNMP Caché subagent process. This logs details about each message received and sent. Thanks for the questions MO BTW Although I have not tried implementing - due to high number of Healthcare applications using Caché I thought it may be of interest that Paessler PRTG has developed new sensors for monitoring medical equipment that communicate via HL7 and DICOM.https://www.paessler.com/blog/2016/04/13/all-about-prtg/ehealth-sensors-know-what-is-going-on-in-your-medical-it I've installed PRTG on a windows 10 system... enabled SNMP services... I've configured SNMP Service to Community "public" destination "127.0.0.1"... PRTG is able to see and graph the system statistics... OK.Then I imported ISC-Cache.mib with Paesler MIB Imported, OK, and "Save for PRTG Network Monitor"... everything seems fine, but, then, where is supposed to be? When I go to PRTG NM I cannot see anyhing related to Caché ... no clue about the library that I supposedly just imported... S of SNMP means Simple... so I'm pretty sure I'm missing something really basic here, but I don't know how to go on. Found... I just got to go to add sensors to a group, windows type and snmp library... there it is the oidlib I had just imported!! When using containers (IRIS) how do use the host to proxy the snmp calls? is there a way to have the container use the hosts ip (and port 705) to do its reporting? Hi Jay, for the docker run command look at the --net=host flag. Also SAM might be of interest to you. See the recent announcement and a user case I hope it's helpful do we hv a similar topic for Cache on windows？Thx！
