#Databases

Hi Team, 

Can I please check if anyone has built a simple web interface for maintaining custom SQL lookup class.  

We have a simple persistent class in HealthShare which is used for storing Pathology test codes. Test codes in this lookup class is used for message filtering and applying additional logic when processing pathology results/orders. 

We want to make this class available to external users from pathology (not the usual management portal users) to maintain so that they can add/edit/delete test codes as required.

At the moment, we have 10 HealthShare instance servers (5 x mirrored pairs), where we implement an External Backup approach, using the freeze/thaw commands against whichever server of the pair is the backup mirror member, to complete a VM level backup. These backups are stored to a disk within our control, to purge as required. This approach allows us to deliver a zero downtime backup approach.

I am working on a tool that configures an instance to use a common default routine database across all custom Namespaces. For instances that already have distinct default routine databases for their Namespaces, this would involve a step of merging over all code from the current default routine databases to the new "super" routine database. This should be done in such a way that only merges contents in the default routine database (not mapped databases) and is able to detect/exclude contents that already exist in the target database.

I would like to learn about the binary and document reference FHIR Resources. For the PDF data stored in those resources. But I think Binary Resource for the Document PDF stored in FHIR, so this resource is best for it. So sometimes Large PDF 15-page (~35md) data converts into base64 then data length is ~50 lac charecters length of base64binary data. this data store in Binary Resource on data field https://www.hl7.org/fhir/R4/binary.html follow this url this resource used in my case. so it's support the 50 lac charecter of the base64 length? This resource can be Insert into IRIS?

We currently have Business Operation that we built to use the EnsLib.SQL.OutboundAdapter so we can make Microsoft SQL Server Stored Procedure calls. The BO is attached to a Java Gateway Service.

Some of our MS SQL Databases have moved from being OnPrem to Azure Cloud. We have started seeing where we are receiving errors on the BO saying that we cannot connect to the Azure Database, but we never receive a Disconnect from the Azure Database.

Hi, I'm wondering what are the diferences between a method or classmethod with the language set at tsql and a querry writen in sql.
If anyone know if there is some difference and what they are, I would be glad to learn. 😊

We’re building out a data lake in IRIS 2025.1 that aggregates data across multiple business systems and departments. I’m trying to establish best practices for schema design and separation.

Right now, I’m thinking of using a separate schema for each distinct system of record feeding into the data lake - for example, one schema per upstream source system, rather than splitting based on function (e.g. staging, raw, curated). The idea is that this would make it easier to manage source ownership, auditing, and pipeline logic, especially when multiple domains are contributing data.

Hello my friends,

I have a problem with logi report, 

in my store procedure,  I create code like this?

$ListToString(%DLIST(DISTINCT (ARCIM_Desc)),'<br/>') as "ARCIM_Desc", -> this is the problem

$ListToString(%DLIST(DISTINCT (MRDIA_ICDCode_DR)),'<br/>') as "MRDIA_ICDCode_DR", -> it's works fine

as you see there's a <br/> in the display of the report

I have no idea about this, maybe someone can help me fix this problem ?

Thank You

Best Regards,

Steven Henry

Hello my friends,

I have a problem with Objectscript, why the value of address become like this ?

everything works fine except the Address,

this is my code, do I need something to make this into real address ? should I put something in my code ? 

 set paper=obj.PAADMPAPMIDR.PAPMIPAPERDR

            if '$isobject(paper) continue

            set Address=paper.PAPERStName

thank you for your help

Best Regards,

I have notified that on several servers the IRISTEMP database is reported as only a few GB in size while on the disk where it's located, the IRIS.DAT file is much bigger (eg: 3GB reported in Portal (including free space) while file on the disk file is 121GB). The last modification date of IRIS.DAT is recent so I'm not looking into a location no more in use.

Is there an explanation for that difference in size ? 

I know temporary databases are special in a way they are not always stored on the disk, here is what InterSystems says about it :

Changes to temporary globals are not written to disk.

I have a database that is 2TB in size (from a LIVE system).

I would like to defragment it but I have some questions. I took a look at official documentation but it does not help.

• Is is possible to get a measurement about how much database is fragmented ? (eg: a percentage). Most operating systems are able to give a an indication about how much a filesystem is fragmented before any operation.
• The database is on a LIVE server, the IRIS service is restarted every night (around 1AM). Because of that I can't run defragment continuously. I don't think it will be able to complete under 24 hours.

Hello,
I have created this script that does lot of writes to a single global. DB write performance is much slower than expected (compared to another similar systems).

set"..."//fill it with something

I have notified the following : 

• CPU usage does not reach 100% on a single core (eg: 25% of total CPU usage should be seen on a 4 cores system). Instead, much lower CPU usage is shown (with some drops to 0% from time to time). It looks like process has to wait for I/O completion before proceeding. Removing the set

I have created a New Database/Namespace within our TEST environment on both the Primary and Backup of the mirror. When I go to create the database/namespace on the DR node I am getting "Cannot open file '/ensemble/TEST/iris.cpf_...." while the cpf file that it references does not exist. Anyone have any clue to why this might be happening?
