Hi,

I'm trying to get a property from a class but I get an error:

SET status=##CLASS(Backup.Task).LastRunStatus
^
<CLASS PROPERTY>
 

Can someone please tell me the correct way to get the property?

The property is dexcribed here:

https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/documatic/%25CSP.Documatic…

Thanks in advance.

The IKO allows for sidecars. The idea behind them is to have direct access to a specific instance of IRIS. If we have mirrored data nodes, the web gateway will (correctly) only give us access to the primary node. But perhaps we need access to a specific instance. The sidecar is the solution.

Building on the example from the previous article, we introduce the sidecar by using a mirrored data node and of course arbiter.

Hello Community,

Is it possible to track or determine where the global variable was set (routine or class) in a form of like label+offset^routine?

Hello,

I am new to InterSystems FHIR server implementation and in process of evaluating it. (R5)

I try to create a Task referencing a CarePlan resource as above.

I got the following error message and I wonder what could be the mistake as it used to work against another FHIR server implementation. (the referenced CarePlan resource does not exist but I guess that in this case the error code would be different?)

Hello,

Please we need some help in connecting IRIS to SAP RFC.

We would appreciate if anyone has a detailed documentation for it. 

Thank you

In this article, exceptions are covered.

Working with Exceptions

Instead of returning a %Status response, you can raise and throw an Exception. You are then responsible for catching the exception and validating it. IRIS provides five main classes to handle exceptions effectively. Additionally, you can create custom exception class definition based on your needs.

These exceptions are different from %Status, so you can't directly/efficiently use the exception object with $SYSTEM.OBJ.DisplayError() or $SYSTEM.Status.DisplayError(). Instead, use the DisplayString() method to display the exception

You may encounter errors during any point of program execution, and there are several ways to raise and handle these exceptions. In this article, we'll explore how exceptions are handled efficiently in IRIS.

One of the most commonly used return types is %Status, which is used by methods to indicate success or failure. Let's begin by discussing %Status values.

Working with %Status

The %Status return type is used to represent errors or success.Many system methods return %Status when an error occurs.

At the moment we're creating multiple BPLs are using a router (or another BPL) to direct to these based on a unique key modulo the amount of BPLs available, e.g. if we have 3 BPLs created.
Message key = 1 mod 3 + 1 -> BPL02
Message key = 2 mod 3 + 1 -> BPL03
Message key = 3 mod 3 + 1 -> BPL01
FIFO only matters in that each messages for each key is processed in order.
What we were considering doing is increasing the pool size to 3 and programmatically creating a BPL on each thread that processes messages that would be directed to it, rather than having to create multiple BPLs into the production.

Hello,

When setting up a new web app in iris (iris is in a container) iris complains that a WSGI framework is not installed. I have installed python into the container as well as both flask and django via the python virtual environment (see second screenshot) and the python language server is running

Is this the wrong way to install flask? How do I get the container version to recoginize that flask is installed?

When removing a segment in DTL for hl7 using foreach the segment doesn't actually get removed and leaves a blank segment.

Dear Community,

I am trying to convert a base64 encoded string to a pdf. I have tried a lot of possible ways, but never succeeded. I am able to decode the base64 using $System.Encryption.Base64Decode but I am not able to convert it and store this in a path.

Can anybody help me out here?

Thanks.

Hi,

I have Objectscript routine stored in an external Linux file which I've called /my/home/DisplayDB.int

This file does not include any Class definitions and is simply a set a Object script routines. I think this is called INT objectscript

The file looks like this:

set db=##class(Config.Databases).DatabasesByServer("",.dbList)
for i=1:1:$LENGTH(dbList,",") {
  set dbName= $PIECE(dbList,",",i)
  write dbName,!
}

How do I load and compile the Objectscript code?
Do $system.OBJ.Load("/my/home/DisplayDB.int", "ck")
How would I run the code?
do ^DisplayDB
Thanks in advance for any help

All pods are assigned a Quality of Service (QoS). These are 3 levels of priority pods are assigned within a node.

The levels are as following:

1) Guaranteed: High Priority

2) Burstable: Medium Priority

3) BestEffort: Low Priority

It is a way of telling the kubelet what your priorities are on a certain node if resources need to be reclaimed. This great GIF below by Anvesh Muppeda explains it.

If resources need to be freed, firstly pods with Best Effort QoS will be evicted, then those with Burstable, and finally those with Guaranteed.

I build a simple text string from an HL7 message in the DTL.  What target message type and Business Operation should I use to write the text to a file?

I have VS Code with extensions connected to IRIS for Health. One top-level ObjectScript package is not displayed in the workspace for this namespace. This package exists in the namespace and is visible in SMP. If I create a new class with a different top-level package name (package that didn't previously exist) it will immediately appear in the workspace.

Is there any debug logging I can enable to look for errors or do any other troubleshooting?

Forgot to mention: the missing package is custom, not a system package.

In a containerized environment, you can manage your container time via the TZ variable or via the /etc/timezone and /etc/localtime directories:

environment:
      - TZ=Europe/Paris

volumes:
    - "/etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro"
    - "/etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro"

My main goal of this article was to prove the use of InterSystems IRIS for Health for REST FHIR interoperability between multiple applications. In this use case, some initiating application makes a REST call to IRIS for Health (which is merely a passthrough for REST calls) to retrieve FHIR data from an Oracle Health R4 FHIR repository. Ideally, it simplifies the syntax for calling the Oracle Health APIs. 

In this article, I will demonstrate a means for implementing a REST Dispatch Class in InterSystems IRIS, where multiple endpoints can have an optional number of arguments, and all endpoints

Application demonstration

After successfully running the iris image vector search application, some data needs to be stored to support image retrieval as it is not initialized in the library.

Image storage

Firstly, drag and drop the image or click the upload icon, select the image, and click the upload button to upload and vectorize it. This process may be a bit slow.

This process involves using embedded Python to call the CLIP model and vectorize the image into 512 dimensional vector data.

ClassMethod

Is it possible to get the length of queue for a production using Python code?

I'm using embedded Python at the moment.

I'd like to use the Python external language server later - the Python external server will not start in my environment.

If it is possible to query the production queue length programmically, please advise how?

It would also be nice to show the number of messages processed per second, if IRIS keeps track of this.

I am currently experiencing frustration with trying to Authenticate an Active Directory account through JDBC as the Hospital System moves from OnPrem SQL Server to using Azure SQL Server with Microsoft Entra Authentication.

Microsoft cannot give me a straight answer of what is required from a JDBC standpoint to authenticate from a Linux environment.

I am working with WRC, but we are both struggling to find the specific answer for JDBC.If I use my local desktop and JDBC to connect through DBeaver I don't have an issue.

We connect to MS SQL Databases using the Microsoft JDBC Driver 12.2 using the following URL

jdbc:sqlserver://<server>:<port>;database=<database name>;trustServerCertificate=true;integratedSecurity=true;authenticationScheme=NTLM;domain=osumc;authentication=NotSpecified

They want to migrate the databases to the Azure Cloud and in doing so we need the Authentication to change to go through Microsoft Entra. I was given the following URL

jdbc:sqlserver://<server>:<port>;user=<user>;password=<password>;encrypt=true;trustServerCertificate=true;hostNameInCertificate=<certificate>;loginTimeout=30;Authenti

Not sure there are many that connect to MS SQL to execute queries, stored procedures, etc, but our Healthsystem has many different MS SQL based databases we use within the Interoperability environment for various reasons.

With the push to moving from on-prem to the Cloud we ran into some difficulties with our SQL Gateway connections and knowing how to config them to use Microsoft Entra for Active Directory Authentication.

There are many articles out on the web, but there was not one that could give us the full answer to what we needed to do, and Microsoft wasn’t much help.
I figured I would

We now get to make use of the IKO.

Below we define the environment we will be creating via a Custom Resource Definition (CRD). It lets us define something outside the realm of what the Kubernetes standard knows (this is objects such as your pods, services, persistent volumes (and claims), configmaps, secrets, and lots more). We are building a new kind of object, an IrisCluster object.
