Hey community, how are you doing?

How do you exercise your creativity? How do you test new ideas?

Over the years I have always thought about creating new things, modifying existing ones, experimenting, testing, breaking (it always happens), building again, starting over.

The contests promoted by InterSystems are an excellent source of motivation, obviously, the prizes bring a lot of attention and this you cannot deny.But not just prizes/rewards, they also give us a creative challenge, an opportunity to create, reimagine, test, experiment.

Hello everyone!

Me and @Henrique.GonçalvesDias proposed a new way to visualize messages in IRIS Interoperability in a recent update of MessageViewer. In such an update, we tried to give users a visualization based on a UML sequence diagram. You could get more information on the previous article.

In order to get all the hard geometry calculations needed to draw such a diagram done, we used the amazing mermaid JS open source library.And what I’d like to share with you in this article, is how to use this library.

Hey Developers,

See the details below.

Hi contestants!

We've introduced a set of bonuses for the projects for the Interoperability Contest 2021!

Here are projects that scored it:

Interoperability Read Only access

In companies, most of the time, we have test, stage and production environments.

It is very common that we, the developers, do not have the right to modify or touch the production directly because all the modifications must be traced in a versioning tool and tested before a production release.

However, a read access to the production (especially to the traces) can allow us to better understand a possible bug.

That's why I propose this ZPM module that creates a new role in IRIS that allows access to the productions and this only in read-only with access to the visual traces.

Hi Community,

The InterSystems IRIS has a good connector to do Hadoop using Spark. But the market offers other excellent alternative to Big Data Hadoop access, the Apache Hive. See the differences:

Source: https://dzone.com/articles/comparing-apache-hive-vs-spark

I created a PEX interoperability service to allows you use Apache Hive inside your InterSystems IRIS apps. To try it follow these steps:

1. Do a git clone to the iris-hive-adapter project:

$ git clone https://github.com/yurimarx/iris-hive-adapter.git

2. Open the terminal in this directory and run:

$ docker-compose build

I work as an Integration Engineer for United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).I work on a Health Connect production which processes many RecordMap files.I do not fully understand RecordMaps and I wanted to develop an application for the Interoperability contest where I could learn more about working with RecordMaps.I browsed InterSystems documentation for inspiration on how to start.I was happy to find CSV Record Wizard.I had created a CSV file for my Analytics contest entry.I wanted to use it to test the CSV Record Wizard.It was not obvious how to use it.

I want to start this project and wants to know the best practices, you guys using to arrange the project. I have done lot of mvc projects and API's in c#. But Intersystems is new to me. Please give me some suggestions like how can I Arrange the objects. Like for eg. Where can I store the productions objects like services,process and operations. will that be like under each resouces folder name? and what are the base classes, and how can I store them? basically please give me some idea about how Can I arrange them . 

Thank you

Hi,

I am getting below error while starting production
ERROR <Ens>ErrException: <CLASS DOES NOT EXIST>zgetProductionItems+29^Ens.Director.1 *HS.FHIRServer.Interop.Service -- logged as '-' number - @''

Thanks

In my Business Operation I need to execute a bookkeeping method every X seconds.

How can I do that?

There are two workarounds (I dislike both):

1. Execute bookkeeping on process start - but there might be no requests at all
2. Create a BS that sends messages to BO every X seconds - it makes production more complex and also queues might not guarantee that the method is executed on schedule.

Thoughts?

Hi,

How to import production from online lab to local windows 10 instance?

Thanks

I have attached a document that describes the product I have developed called NiPaRobotica Pharmacy.This is an interface I developed that accepts Pharmacy Dispense Requests and converts the line items on the order into dispense dialogues which it sends to pharmacy robots.I deployed the interface into 3 Hospital pharmacies two of which had 6 robots that were arranged in such a way that the dispense chutes channelled medications to desks by the pharmacists sitting in windows serving 1200 patients a day.The robots cut the average waiting time from 2 hours down to one hour.

Alerts are automatic notifications triggered by specified events or thresholds being exceeded.

InterSystems Documentation

I have a Business Service connected to a machine with ~100 sensors. BS receives sensor values once a second.

Several conditions determine if a Business Service should raise an alert (it's a list of: sensor id > threshold).

I have three questions:

1.  Should I write these conditions as a business rule and call this rule from the Business Service, and if the rule returns 1 call SendAlert? Or is there some other way to do that?
2. Business Rule returns a reason for the rule

Hello, 

We have a simple BS that Extends Ens.BusinessService with an ADAPTER = "EnsLib.File.InboundAdapter";
The "incoming" folder has more than 4M files, so we get the following error:
ERREUR <Ens>ErrException: <STORE>zFileSetExecute+38 ^%Library.File.1

Is there any simple workaround this ?

I heard about Message Bank when we started redesigning a Health Connect production to run in containers in the cloud. Since there will be multiple IRIS containers, we were directed to utilize Message Bank as one place to view messages and logs from all containers.

How does Message Bank work?

I added Message Bank operation to our Interoperability Production. It automatically sends messages and event logs to the Message Bank.

Resending Messages

The Message Bank provides an interface for portal user to resend messages from the Message Bank portal.
