A few weeks ago I posted an announcement about a JavaScript-based interface for our mg_web WebServer interfacing addon module. mg_web isn't just restricted to use by JavaScript developers though. Many readers will be ObjectScript developers who are more used to using CSP as their web gateway. Some may even have much older legacy WebLink-based applications (and be wondering how to support them given that IRIS does not support WebLink).
As an IT and cloud team manager with 18 years of experience with InterSystems technologies, I recently led our team in the transformation of our traditional on-premises ERP system to a cloud-based solution. We embarked on deploying InterSystems IRIS within a Kubernetes environment on AWS EKS, aiming to achieve a scalable, performant, and secure system. Central to this endeavor was the utilization of the AWS Application Load Balancer (ALB) as our ingress controller.
The %CSP.Login class is the utility class provided by InterSystems IRIS to do custom login pages. If you want to control your IRIS application authentication UI, you must extend %CSP.Login and override some methods according to your needs. This article is going to detail those methods and what you can do with them. In addition to that, you will get an explanation of the delegated authentication mechanism provided by ZAUTHENTICATE.mac routine.
You can hide the source by exporting/importing only the *.obj that is generated after compiling the source program.
The command execution example specifies EX1Sample.obj and EX2Sample.obj, which are generated by compiling EX1Sample.mac and EX2Sample.mac, as export targets and exports them to the second argument file.
After moving to another namespace, I am using the exported XML file to perform the import.
You can set individual error pages for the following Web Gateway error messages/system responses:
server error
server busy
server unavailable
server timeout
connection closed
Settings are made on the Web Gateway Management screen ([Management Portal] > [System Administration] > [Configuration] > [Web Gateway Management] > [Configuration] > [Default Parameters]).
In the Error Page section of the Default Parameters menu, set the filename of the html page to display or the URL to redirect to when an error occurs.
In the WRC, we often see customers raise questions regarding a new Web Gateway setup where the Management Portal half-loads, but doesn’t show images. This article will explain why this error occurs, as well as how to fix it. This explanation is focused on the Web Gateway serving InterSystems IRIS instances, but the same explanation should apply to the CSP Gateway serving Caché instances as well.
In this article I'll cover testing and debugging Caché web applications (mainly REST) with external tools. Second part covers Caché tools.
You wrote server-side code and want to test it from a client or already have a web application and it doesn't work. Here comes debugging. In this article I'll go from the easiest to use tools (browser) to the most comprehensive (packet analyzer), but first let's talk a little about most common errors and how they can be resolved.
Messages.log file contains lots of useful information about IRIS. Sometimes the file gets big, and it is not easy to get to the data I am interested to review. It would be nice to jump to a specific date and time we suspect a problem may have started.
Suppose you have developed your own web app with InterSystems technologies stack and now want to perform a captcha validation on the client side in order to determine whether or not the user is human and make it safer. There are some modern frameworks to address the captcha issue, however most part of them needs internet access to generate codes and sometimes are complex to implement. Take this as basic example considering that image recognition has gotten too good. That's why you nowadays you tend to see more pattern recognition captchas than mere reading ones. (I.e.
This post is a introduction of my open exchange iris-fhir-client application.
iris-fhir-client can connect to any open FHIR Server by using embedded python with the help of fhirpy Library. Get Resource information by terminal and by using CSP web application.
ZPM is a great tool. You can compose a large WebApplication following the existing examples. But differently, to Classes, Routines, Macros, or Globals I found no direct way to deploy a few additional CSP pages directly into an existing Namespace without touching the existing content.
A side issue was to find a solution that is independent of WIN or Linux directories.
This concept may be known to some, but I just found it very useful and I would like to share as it may help someone else.
If you are working with CSP or Zen you sometimes come across the need to use embedded JavaScript. Suppose you are working with some loops, which use < or > as shown in example below:
Recently, I needed to create templates for newsletters. I couldn't find any tools, so I decided to use the CSP (Caché Server Pages) to build the templates.
Let's figure out how to make a newsletter similar to Weekly OEX Digest.
So, one day you're working away at WidgetsDirect, the leading supplier of widget and widget accessories, when your boss asks you to develop the new customer facing portal to allow the client base to access the next generation of Widgets..... and he wants you to use Angular 1.x to read into the department's Caché server.
There's only one problem: You've never used Angular, and don't know how to make it talk to Caché.
This guide is going to walk through the process of setting up a full Angular stack which communicates with a Caché backend using JSON over REST.
IRIS Interoperability Productions formerly known as Ensemble are fun to work with. Yes, I really think my work is fun. I have seen File Passthrough Services and File Passthrough Operations come in handy. At one point we placed test messages in files, then we utilized a File Passthrough Service with Inbound File Adapter to send the contents of the file as a Stream to a File Passthrough Operation with Outbound TCP Adapter.
One useful feature of our REST framework is the ability for a dispatch class to identify request prefixes and forward them to another dispatch class. This approach of modularizing your URL map will improve code readability, enable you to easily maintain separate versions of an interface, and provide a means to protect API calls that only certain users will be allowed to access.
