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.
https://github.com/grongierisc/iris-healthtoolkit-service/
I download this service and tried run docker-compose but after that I get some error.

Iris Healthtoolkit Service

Easy to use HL7v2 to FHIR, CDA to FHIR, FHIR to HL7v2 as a Service.

The aim of this project is to provide an REST API that can convert easily various health formats. Post the desire format in the REST body, get the answer in the new format.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hi,

A SFTP server on which we connect has increased its security level by disabling the use of the ssh-rsa algorithm
Since then, SFTP connections with ssh keys are no longer made through Intersytems but through tools such as FileZila and Putty. Looking at the Logs I see that the generated ssh key of type RSA supports other modern algorithms such as rsa-sha2-256 / rsa-sha2-512 . I wanted to know if the Intersystems SFTP client supports modern algorithms?

The question I have is if I run an External backup this library rotuine is called:
##Class(Backup.General).ExternalFreeze()

Is there a command I can run that shows me the Iris system is frozen due to the call to ##Class(Backup.General).ExternalFreeze()?

If the system is frozen I cannot sign into Iris terminal session.

I backup the IRIS server using Veeam. Veeam calls the "freeze" script, snapshots the server in VMWare, then calls the "thaw" script.
Veeam then backs up the VMWare snapshot.

I have had cases where Iris was frozen and I'm guessing this could be caused by a call to ##Class(Backup.

Hi,

I'm using embedded Python as follows:

AUMHTESTTC01:%SYS>do ##class(%SYS.Python).Shell()
Python 3.6.15 (default, Sep 23 2021, 15:41:43) [GCC] on linux
Type quit() or Ctrl-D to exit this shell.
>>> import iris
>>> mirror=iris.cls('SYS.Mirror')
>>> pri=[]
>>> alt=[]
>>> status=mirror.GetFailoverMemberStatus(pri,alt)
>>> print(status)
1
>>> print(pri)
[]
>>> print(alt)
[]
>>> exit()

However the equivalent ObjectScript works:

%SYS>set sc=##class(SYS.Mirror).GetFailoverMemberStatus(.pri,.alt)
%SYS>zw pri
pri=$lb("SERVERA.FOO.BAR.ORG/STAGE","SERVERA.foo.bar.

I'm working on some code that would benefit from being able to see whether or not a project file has been saved in Studio.
I can see when I make changes, that the project name has an asterisk added to it:

In searching for it, however, I haven't been able to find any methods or calls to access the property/check that controls that asterisk.
My question is whether anyone out there knows if that is accessible and if so then how can it be accessed.
I'd like to add a check in my code that enforces that the project file must be saved prior to proceeding with the intended action.

In the previous article. Practices of class members and their execution within embedded Python. We will now turn our attention to the process of switching namespaces, accessing global variables , traversing and routine executions within embedded Python.

Before proceeding to the other functions. let us briefly review the execute function within the iris package. This function is exceptionally beneficial for executing the arbitrary ObjectScript functions and class invocation.

I inherited some legacy MUMPS / ObjectScript code. A code review identified an exclusive NEW and that is not allowed per our coding standards.

The original code contains:

RUN(CALL,DRVNAME)
 S $EC=""
 S ^TMP($J,"RMPV","DRVNAME")=DRVNAME
 N TMPFILE,OLDIO
 S OLDIO=$IO
 I $G(^TMP("RMPV","SILENT"),1) S IOP="NULL",%ZIS=0 D ^%ZIS I '$G(POP,1) U IO
 D INIT^@DRVNAME
 D  ; scope variables
 .N (DUZ,CALL) ; Protect %response
 .S IOF="""""",IOM=80,U="^"
 .

In your Interoperability Production you could always have a Business Operation that is an HTTP client, that uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication, but you had to customize the Operation for this authentication methodology. Since v2024.3, which was lately released, there is a new capability, providing new settings, to handle this more easily.

Hello everyone! This is my first post into the developer community and one that I hope is fairly simple to answer. In our environment we currently have 3 different Test environments for testing before migrating code to our Prod environment. Currently we are working on establishing a source control method using Git in house which has been a bit of a struggle. We have also had developers that had used different test and migration methods in the past which has caused some issues with keeping the different test environment in sync.

Hi,

I want to use IRIS Report Designer please anyone knows do we have community edition and where we can get license for it - Thanks.

The IKO documentation is robust. A single web page, that consists of about 50 actual pages of documentation. For beginners that can be a bit overwhelming. As the saying goes: how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. Let's start with the first bite: helm.

What is Helm?

Helm is to Kubernetes what the InterSystems Package Manager (IPM, formerly ObjectScript Package Manager - ZPM) is to IRIS.

It facilitates the installation of applications on the platform - in a fashion suitable for Kubernetes.
