Software deployment is all of the activities that make a software system available for use. The general deployment process consists of several interrelated activities with possible transitions between them.

Hi developers!

There is a very neat variable in IPM ${ipmdir} that lets packages be installed on a particular IRIS server and ensures that the data and resources they bring don't mess around as ${ipmdir} variable during the installation transforms into:

iris installation dir/ipm/package_name/version/whatever_you_install_here

It is very convenient, e.g., to bring some data and resource files that can be useful during the installation setup, e.g., via FILECOPY. Indeed, suppose you bring some csv_file, e.g. titanic.csv via FILECOPY as:

<FileCopy Name="data/titanic.csv" Target="${ipmdir}data/titanic.csv"/>

or even the whole folder of data in the source code repo into the package:

<FileCopy Name="data/" Target="${ipmdir}data/"/>

And in the case of Iris in Docker it resides in:

/usr/irissys/ipm/package_name/1.0.0/data/titanic.csv

This is all great, but is there any way for the installed code to determine the location of the data files? It'd be neat to let the installed app know somehow where is the data that came with it? Could it be the method in the IPM client that will resolve ${ipmdir} for the app?

We have created a CSP application in the path /csp/ourapp. Due to some session handling issues, we created a new web application /csp/ourapp/hl7mapping that points to the sane namespace, and we now access the CSP pages using this new URL. This works fine in the local system.

After deploying the app to server, we are facing issues around compiling CSP pages.

 

We noticed that following compilation command works for CSP files located under the physical path /csp/ourapp, but it does not compile the CSP files placed under /CSP/ourapp/hl7mapping.

do $SYSTEM.CSP.

Hello,

I have a problem with the deployment. When I deploy using the Ens.Deployment.Deploy class, I no longer receive the logs in the terminal. However, the deployment went well, I see it in the history on the portal.

It works on our environment, but not on the client's.

 

Set tSC = ##class(Ens.Deployment.Deploy).DeployCode(chemin_"GESL_SVCCLI_DEPLOY_CPT-243_V4_0.xml","SVCCLI.ProdClient",1,chemin_"GESL_SVCCLI_DEPLOY_CPT-243_V4_0_rb.xml","L",chemin_"GESL_SVCCLI_DEPLOY_CPT-243_V4_0.log",1,1)

 

Thank you 🙂

Hi developers!

While developing web apps the security practice I consider safe and convenient is to create a special Role (e.g. equal application name) which contains security resources which application will need (SQL tables, priviledges, database access, etc) and assign it to the Web Application.
So the user gets this role once it loggs in to the application (via password, no password or delegated).

Convenient, right?

So, the question is, when I deploy the app as an IPM module what should I put as a database access?

Hello Developers,

I have MacBook Pro M3 and I'm new to the IRIS for Health setup / installation with all pre-requisite / requirements so someone could please help me with detailed instructions on how to setup IRIS for Health (HL7 & FHIR) from scratch along with SQL Server? I have Windows 11 installed in parallel desktop if that's required and complete installation / setup is not possible on MacBook.

Thank you in advance.

Rushi
