I'm a huge sci-fi fan, but while I'm fully onboard the Star Wars train (apologies to my fellow Trekkies!), but I've always appreciated the classic episodes of Star Trek from my childhood. The diverse crew of the USS Enterprise, each masterminding their unique roles, is a perfect metaphor for understanding AI agents and their power in projects like Facilis. So, let's embark on an intergalactic mission, leveraging AI as our ship's crew and  boldly go where no man has gone before!  This teamwork concept is a wonderful analogy to illustrate how AI agents work and how we use them in our DC-Facilis

I use $SELECT() in Architect to aggregate various data conditions into a single dimension.

I have a data table like this: id, user, userData1, userData2...

Finishing my previous example for multiple IRIS instances, I tried
to compose a local single instance version.  The step from the external
Python app to a version using embedded Python seemed to be obvious.
This was a wrong assumption, as some Python libraries just refused installation
into my local Windows-based environment.

Hi all,

I’m working on a data transformation in IRIS where I need to calculate the difference in hours between two timestamps stored as %TimeStamp.

Example:

Set startTime = "2024-07-12 08:30:00"
Set endTime = "2024-07-12 15:15:00"

I’d like to calculate the number of hours (with decimals, like 6.75) between them. What's the recommended way to do this in ObjectScript? I’ve seen examples using $ZDATETIME, but I’m not sure if that’s the cleanest approach.

Any suggestions or best practices would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Jhonn Marie

Profiling CCD Documents with LEAD North’s CCD Data Profiler
Ever opened a CCD and been greeted by a wall of tangled XML? You’re not alone. Despite being a core format for clinical data exchange, CCD's are notoriously dense, verbose, and unfriendly to the human eye. For developers and analysts trying to validate their structure or extract meaningful insights, navigating these documents can feel more like archaeology than engineering.

Hi!
I have question about MDX functionality in context of IRIS Analytics.

How does IRIS MDX distinct selection works? Is there any restruqtion when analyzing strings? Like special symbols or length?
Here is an example
I have this data:
 6 rows and 2 of them unique
Then we create data cube based on this model and examine it with Analyzer
 
Detailed listing 
6 rows an ONE unique string. Which is obviously not true. 
This happed only with string with symbols in it
My task is to get the right amount of unique strings

Hence the question: is there a way to do that?
The goal is to get data (from half a thousand to 3-4 thousands lines) from DB, calculate standart deviation  then use it as logical condition in analyzer. 
For example IF std > custom_value = show_the_result ELSE null
There is a STDDEV(MDX) method  used in Analyzer but it is a measure and it can not be used as logical condition (correct me if i am wrong)

Data Analysis

This is the sequel to Data Collection. If you have not had a chance to go through and install that you should first do that.

What is provided here is the analysis for the collection of that data that was collected earlier.

In much the same way as was done in that repository you will need to import the xml that makes up this repository.

Starting at the topmost level there is a task:

InvestigateInfoTask

This task will allow us to set parameters that we will be monitoring. They are as follows:

Hi Community,

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out because I have encountered an issue with a new dimension I created, named "Region," and I could use your assistance in resolving it.

The problem is that when I open the cube analyzer, the "Region" dimension does not populate data as expected. Instead, it merely displays the text "sourceRegion," which I specified as an expression in the architect. 

Hello all,

Currently I am trying to create a pivot table based on a cube with several calculated measures that perform a distinct member count, as in https://docs.intersystems.com/iris20231/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls… . However, when I add these measures as the columns of the pivot table, the resulting row generation step can take a long time (at least five minutes). This includes row generation when performing drill-downs.

Hello community, I need to solve a complex but trivial issue.

Given:

Two tables "Comment" and "Post". Each one contains an "Author" field, which is essentially a user ID. In these tables, each user ID represents an author. The goal is to count all participants together and then group them by month, language, and other metrics.

The question is how to do this within the IRIS ecosystem. Is it even possible to take two tables, get distinct data from them and then combine into one cube?

Power BI

Connecting to a Data Source

To connect to AtScale, we will use the SQL Server Analysis Services database. Let's open it in the Power Query editor. To do that, select Transform Data on the Home.

In the window that appears, go to the Home, expand New Source and select Analysis Services.

How can I create a calculated member in Analyzer using MDX for the following logic?

WHEN 'F' THEN 'FEMALE'
WHEN 'Female' THEN 'FEMALE'
WHEN  'M' THEN 'MALE'
WHEN 'Male' THEN 'MALE'
WHEN 'U' THEN UNDIFFERENTIATED'
WHEN 'UN' THEN UNDIFFERENTIATED'
WHEN 'Undifferentiated' THEN UNDIFFERENTIATED'
ELSE 'OTHER'
END

I built a dashboard to show hourly instrument capacities based on a term list. The term list consists of the TestInstrumentID and the number of tests that instrument can perform in 1 hour. The calculation works correctly and the data is accurate but periodically if you go to check the dashboard the percentages all get changed to 100% across every hour. If you check it later or add an additional site to the filter then the percentages correct themselves. I don't know what's causing this or how to troubleshoot it because it does calculate correctly but is not consistent. 

Hey Developers, 

New video is already on InterSystems Developers YouTube channel:

⏯ Creating Pivot Tables with InterSystems IRIS Business Intelligence

Is there a way to add/substract from a pivot variable?

I have this MDX:

SELECT
  NON EMPTY [DateOfSale].[Actual].[YearSold].&[$variable.Year] ON 0,
  NON EMPTY [Product].[P1].[Product Name].Members ON 1
FROM [HOLEFOODS]

And with pivot variable Year equal to, say, 2016 it works:

Now I want to add previous year  first with one pivot variable and one explicit reference. It also works:

SELECT
  NON EMPTY
  {
    [DateOfSale].[Actual].[YearSold].&[$variable.Year],
    [DateOfSale].[Actual].[YearSold].&[2015]
  } ON 0,
  NON EMPTY [Product].[P1].[Product Name].Members ON 1
FROM [HOLEFOODS]

Is there a way in BI (DeepSee) to compare current value, to a value of a previous year?

For example I can hardcode this explicitly:

But I want in a widget to filter by year (1st column) and get the value for a previous year in a next column. YTY would be even better.

What MDX functions should I use? Examples?

Dear Folks,

I have recently studied deepsee and developed few dashboards needed for our web app users. I am trying to embed them in our existing web app which uses angular with delegated user access. I need to embed the native IRIS dashboard into it. ( I can't use Highcharts or any other js tools). 

How do I setup the dashboards to work with delegated authentication (Without providing access to management portal or other parts) ? Also should I use the default csp/{Namespace}/_DeepSee.UserPortal.DashboardViewer.zen? or any other web application URL ?

Thanks

Hi community, 

 The question that I have , it's very simple. I developed a pivot that contains two rows, the first it's a date and the other another field. I need to orde by date in descending order and I can´t find where I can do this. I saw that it's a option Sort members, but it's based  in a condition of the measures. 

Can someone help me with this. 

Thanks in advance. 

Hi everyone,

It's the bottom of the 9th inning, but I have a few more plays to make in our technical World Series 

Hi guys!

I'd like to present you my new project: iris-analytics-notebook, a notebook approach to use IRIS analytics capabilities.

Project description

In past few years, notebooks tools like Jupyter are gaining popularity due its natural way to express ideias.

An almost unipresent tool for data scientists, notebook can also help to improve the impact of analytics tools for all sort of users.

This project is my attemp to implement a simple notebook system, combining IRIS Analytics capabilities, with a custom notebook system - largelly inspired by Jupyter notebooks.

With this project you can:

Hi InterSystems Community,

Is there a way to have a logarithmic axis in a DeepSee widget?

Thanks,

Reid

Preview Mode was added to InterSystems IRIS Business Intelligence to give designers a quick view of what their resulting Pivot Table will look like without needing to wait for the results to fully execute. This can be beneficial when designing pivot tables because if you are dragging and dropping elements to see how they look/work in your pivot table and seeing if they have the desired data. Since you are exploring and designing, you don't necessarily care about the results at the moment, but you would still like to see how your table looks with the changes you have made.

What is %SQLRESTRICT

%SQLRESTRICT is a special %FILTER clause for use in MDX queries in InterSystems IRIS Business Intelligence. Since this function begins with %, it means this is a special MDX extension created by InterSystems. It allows users to insert an SQL statement that will be used to restrict the returned records in the MDX Result Set. This SQL statement must return a set of Source Record IDs to limit the results by. Please see the documentation for more information.

Why is this useful?

This is useful because there are often times users want to restrict the results in their MDX Result Set based on information that is not in their cubes. It may be the case that this information may not make sense to be in the cube. Other times this can be useful when there is a large set of values you want to restrict. As mentioned before, this is not a standard MDX function, it was created by InterSystems to handle cases were queries were not performing well or cases that were not easily solved by existing functions.

This post provides further detail on the suggestions from the DeepSee Troubleshooting Guide about what to do if a user is not able to view a listing in a DeepSee cube, but instead sees errors like this:

ERROR #5540: SQLCODE: -99 Message: User <username> is not privileged for the operation [zfindStatement+118^%SQL.DynamicStatement.1:<namespace>] (8)

How do I best create a filter in DeepSee to restrict query results for the current login, that is where the results are filtered by a Dimension compared to the ObjectScript special variable $USERNAME or an ObjectScript expression that restricts what the current user is allowed to see?

Why log in to view pivot tables when you can have them delivered directly to your inbox? Are you in need of automated reporting for InterSystems IRIS Business Intelligence? Pivot Subscriptions is your solution: a tool for subscribing to scheduled email reports of pivot tables inside InterSystems IRIS Business Intelligence (previously known as DeepSee).

I have this fact table

And the cube which is pretty much 1:1.

I have build an MDX:

SELECT NON EMPTY [Measures].[Error] ON 0,NON EMPTY [CheckTime].[H1].[Minute].Members ON 1 FROM [CHECKCUBE]

Which produced this chart in DeepSeeWeb (there's obviously more data, but you get an idea):

However, I want to add a Marker - if it equals 1 then I need some indication on the chart, so the graph should look like this:

Is there a way to do that in DeepSee or DeepSeeWeb?

I want to have a generic PercentOfAll measure that can be used for any dimension of the cube. This PercentOfAll should act like Count, but instead of showing the number of rows in a cell, it will show the percentage  (100*number of rows for that member/all rows) .It should not matter what dimension is being viewed. Ex

There are a total of 100 rows in the source class.

I am building a cube based on a source class, which I  will call,  Family.Dad 

In the class definition for Family.Dad, there is a relationship, offspring  As Child  [ Cardinality = children, Inverse =  father]

In the class definition for Child, there is a relationship called father As Dad  [ Cardinality = parent, Inverse =  offspring]

In the actual data, a dad can have many children, but a child can only have 1 dad.

Using DeepSee, I am trying to analyze to answer questions such as how many dads have children called Joseph ( Ex dad.offspring.GetAt(x).Name) etc .
