While starting with Intersystems IRIS or Cache, developers often encounter three core concepts: Dynamic Objects, Globals & Relational Table. Each has its role in building scalable and maintainable solutions. In this article, we'll walk through practical code examples, highlight best practices, and show how these concepts tie together.

1. Working with Dynamic Objects:

Starting out with ObjectScript, it is really exciting, but it can also feel a little unusual if you're used to other languages. Many beginners trip over the same hurdles, so here are a few "gotchas" you'll want to watch out for. (Also few friendly tips to avoid them)

NAMING THINGS RANDOMLY

We have all been guilty of naming something Test1 or MyClass just to move on quickly. But once your project grows, these names become a nightmare.

Hello All,

I have used github (outside of IRIS) for many many years and have no problem with it. Also used SVN and other source control systems.

I have a conceptual problem understanding the ISC github links and how they work via VSCode.

https://github.com/intersystems/git-source-control

Our server is on Linux.

What I've done:

1. On Linux Server - d ##class(SourceControl.Git.API).Configure()

I created a Custom Search Table that extends EnsLib.HL7.Search Table. I saved, compiled, and rebuilt the index however when I go into Message Search to try to use the Search Table, within the conditions the proper fields are not showing up that was defined. It is showing the fields from EnsLib.HL7.SearchTable. I did a build index on both EnsLib.HL7.SearchTable and OSU.HL7.SearchTable.

I had a need for a Filter, but did not want to recreate the wheel by creating another Data Lookup Table, so instead I created a Linked Table that points to a MS SQL Table outside of IRIS.

Once I had the Linked Table, I created a Class Method Function that would query the Linked Table and return a 1 if a result came back.

Hi Everyone,

So after @Ariel Glikman posted a custom operation example, I'm stuck on another dilemma, and here it is:

I have a need to create a specific Search Table outside of the EnsLib.HL7.SearchTable specifically for HL7 MFN messages in HealthShare Provider Directory.

Our Code is created in a different namespace then the main HSPD namespace and is mapped within the HSPD namespace mapping.

I created a copy of EnsLib.HL7.SearchTable, named OSU.HL7.SearchTable what all needs mapped to make this new search table available in HSPD namespace?

I have a vendor that only wants results on patients that arrive to the ED via EMS/Ambulance. The value I need for filtering is in the PV2;38.

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.

New to HealthShare, I wanted to know if there was a way to modify the locations-card within the Provider Directory? I am not seeing a reference to where the Cards are stored within the documentation.
