Just curious what the process is for debugging either a .py file that is uploaded to a specific namespace/location or a python classmethod defined in a .cls file.

My method can be run via the "Debug" breadcrumb but it doesnt hit breakpoints it just runs without a debugger. Also objectscript methods debug correctly

Hey everyone.

I came across some issues when setting up Freeze and Thaw batch scripts for use with VMWare in a Windows ecosystem, and I wanted to share what I found in the hopes it can help others. This was undertaken in an environment using Healthconnect 2019.1.x.

IRIS not up (2)

It seems that the sample script from the documentation in my my case would tell me that the environment was not running (despite it running). To correct this, I provided the filepath to the Mgr location as so:

c:\InterSystems\HealthConnect\bin\irisdb -s"C:\InterSystems\HealthConnect\Mgr" -U%%SYS ##Class(Backup.General).

Hi all,

I have a passthru REST setup using EnsLib.HTTP.GenericService and EnsLib.HTTP.GenericOperation. Works well.

I am adding some logic to the Operation and for some scenarios I want to return an HTTP 40x response status code.

I create an httpResponse object within the Business Operation, but I can't figure out how to set the http response status code that is returned to my Posstman client that initiated the request. I set StatusCode=400, and StatusLine and ReasonPhrase properties - but when the ultimate requestor (Postman) receives the response back it is a 200 status code.

Hey everyone.

As I have been working with IRIS (nee Caché) for some time now, I decided to take a look at how I manage things like functions and scripts that may not belong to a single namespace or environment, but should still have a home.

I have taken to creating a github repo where I can keep track of a single .cls of "general functions" that I can then drop into an environment when required.

I have an operation using $ZF this operation ran and did not error but the job has been active and it can not be stopped I have tried stopping it from the front end and through the terminal using ##class(ENSLIB.Job).%New() Stop method. Now my production will not update even if I add a new item to the production I cannot update the item is there a way to force stop  this job.

I have a scenario where I send a GET request to a broker and receive a FHIR response. When I attempted to use the built-in InterSystems functions to convert this FHIR response into SDA, the transformation failed—likely because it is not a standard FHIR request.

How should I handle this situation? Is there a recommended approach to processing FHIR responses in this context?

Additionally, if I manage to convert the FHIR response into a request format, I noticed that the broker sends a Task resource.

I understand that InterSystems provides functions to facilitate transactions between FHIR and HL7 via the SDA segment. My question is:

• Does this transformation only work when InterSystems receives FHIR requests and converts them into HL7, or does it also support responses?
• Specifically, if our operation sends a GET request to a broker and receives a FHIR response, does InterSystems support transforming this response into an SDA segment automatically?
• Or should we manually parse and modify the response to handle it according to our needs?

What would be the best approach in this scenario?

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.

apiVersion: intersystems.

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().

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. 

i.e. 

MSH|^~\&|SendingSystem|ReceivingSystem|202301241000||ADT^A01|12345|P|2.4
EVN|S|202301241000

PD1|PatientAddress^Street^City^State^Zip
PV1|I|INPATIENT|BED123|DoctorID|202301241000|202301241000

This blank segment to be removed

I read the notes and thought it might be about swizzling at https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?

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,

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.

Hello I try to implementing this service, and try to convert HL7v2, FHIR on both sides.
