InterSystems Reports version 23.2 is now available from the InterSystems Software Distribution site in the Components section.  They are labeled InterSystems Reports Designer and InterSystems Reports Server and are available for Mac OSX, Windows or Linux.  insightsoftware elected to move from a  numerical number plan to a year-based numbering plan in 2023 so there are no versions 20 through 22;  versions increase from Version 19 to Version 23.  Note that the reports Server docker image will be available at a later date from the Container Repository.

When installing IRIS, all the system AUDIT events are not enabled.

What is the fastest way to activate all events?

I'm looking for an efficient way in DBeaver to filter system tables (ex: belonging to a schema starting with "%").

By using a user with the %All role, DBeaver shows us a long list of system schemas, which forces us to go down the list before accessing the user tables.

I have a problem. Occasionally, I am getting locked out of IRIS because of password failures. However, the failures aren't necessarily related to my password.  We are using VSCode, and I have installed one or two proposed APIs for use with the software (because that's just how I am; I want to learn the new stuff).

Today, I had that problem again. The step that caused the problem was most likely when I was trying to switch the branch I was using and updating within VSCode. Let's say I was switching from branch "1A" to branch "2B".

When creating the db using the Properties array, if I use a literal like "/iris/db/<instance name>/<directoryname>" it's created in the correct directory.

       set Properties("Directory")="/iris/db/InstanceName/DirectoryName"

but when it's executed with a variable, as in the example below,  it gets created in /iris/sys/<instance name>/mgr/

      set directoryPath="/iris/db/InstanceName/DirectoryName"
      set Properties("Directory")=directoryPath

 Is there any reason string literals work and variables do not?

Hello All,

How do I generate my own method for all properties in my class definition like auto-generated methods PropertyGet(), PropertySet(), PropertyGetStored().

Thanks.

You can see the free available space for the database using the radio button "Free Space View" in Management Portal: System Operation > Databases.

And it can be obtained programmatically by the FreeSpace query of the system class SYS.Database.

It sometimes happens that due to an adverse event the AUDIT database (IRISAUDIT) has grown to such proportions that the disk it resides on is full and the daily purge cannot be expected to reclaim disk space.

As IRISAUDIT is a system database required at startup, there is no question of attempting to restart IRIS after simply deleting IRIS.DAT from the <IRIS ROOT>/mgr/irisaudit/ database, nor of hot swapping, by system manipulations trying to dismount, replace, remount, since it is simply not possible to dismount it.

I cannot get any further hint from the error message in red in this screenshot. Is there any clue or details about the connection failure that I could look for?

InterSystems has also released IRIS as containerized deployments. This post is to demonstrate how InterSystems IRIS and applications those rely on IRIS a backend can be packaged into an image and be run in other machines in containers and how simple it is to do that.

A container runs image/s which have all the necessary executables, binary code, libraries, and configuration files. And the images can be moved from one machine to another, and  an images repository like Docker Hub can simplify that process.

I have used an application from Open Exchange for this demo.

It can be obtained using AllFields query of %SYS.ProcessQuery class.

For the details, please refer to the document Process (Job)【IRIS】／Process (Job).

An example of execution in the terminal is as follows.

Hi,

I don't found how to get params send by a GET REST query (not in url but by request param).

this is config of the call in postman

I try to get %request.Data, doesn't work : Data is undefined

I try to get %request.GetCgiEnv("Data"), doesn't work, return ""

I do ZW %request and see that my parameter is present in cgi parameters, but I don't now how to access it.

Why I'm not getting OS level environmental variable in the IRIS for below actions:

CentOS termial:

[root@]# export TEST="test"
[root@]# echo $TEST
test
[root@]# iris session MYIRIS

Node: myiris01, Instance: MYIRIS

Username: User
Password: ********
NSPACE>s test = $SYSTEM.Util.GetEnviron("TEST")

NSPACE>w test

Hi,
For a REST application, when a user connects, I have to write a message in an application log.
The login is processed by the /login routine by default.

How can I add a process to the login process?
Is there a callback ?
Should I create a login method in my class that extends %CSP.REST ?
I'm not sure and can't find information in the documentation ?

Hello guys,

I want to move a development IRIS for Health database to another server. I will do this manually for specific reasons. If I simply copy the /mgr folder along with all the files (.DAT, .GBK, etc.) and configure it in the new server, will it work?
Best regards.

Hello, 

I have a .NET based web application and would like to front end it with an Iris4Health server, ie possible using the CSP or web application url's to reoute to the requests into the docker container. Kinda of like a reverse proxy but using Iris for health. Is the external language server a good use for this or is that only for direct interaction with I4H? 

I know you can create a custom container with the app copied into it, but not sure if that is the best way.

Any suggestions on how I could accomplish this would be appreciated. 

Hi, 

I'm currently looking to deploy a production with readymade auditing functionality. I can currently call user defined audit entries using  $SYSTEM.Security.Audit() but I'm finding to display these posts properly I need to create User-Defined Audit Events on the management portal, otherwise they are displayed as "UserEventOverflow"/"AddedUnknownUserEvent" .

We have this intermittent issue with a particular supplier message , just wondering if anyone has further insight around the two errors we get when we see this. 

We use the out of the box TCP hl7 adapter. 

We first seem to get this incomplete hl7 message resulting in an error like 

Discarding leftover input 'MSH|

This is not unexpected as the final obx has not dot the description of OBX:2.2 ect. 

OBX|53|TX|NCDAC^

The next message will have the error

Hi Team,

Is there any way to take a clone object of executed query result of %SQL.Statement 

Set statement= ##Class(%SQL.Statement).%New()
Set pre = statement.%Prepare("Select * From TableName")
Set  result = = SQl.%Execute()
Write result.%ConstructClone(,.cc) ; ConstrcutClone was overridden in the class %SQL.StatementResult

I can loop result.%Next() multiple times if clone was taken from the object

Hi Community,

Whenever I insert a decimal value with trailing zero(ex:12.0000) value in my JSON object dynamically through %Set method. It truncates the trailing zeros. However If I use literal constructors { } It working as expected.  So, In my case the JSON will be generated dynamically. I can't go with "Curly Bracket { } " and the JSON schema not string as well.
Is there any way to fix this?

    set json = { "decimal": 12.000}
    zw json
    set json1= ##Class(%DynamicObject).%New()
    do json1.%Set("decimal", 12.000) ; this is consider as string
    do json1.

Hi,

i'm starting to try to switch to VS Code with ISC integration plugins.
Everything seems fine until i get to and environment with CCR enabled. I can't open any class in RW and i don't know how to check the class out.

Is it supported? What do i need to do to use it?

Thanks

InterSystems IRIS Adaptive Analytics version 2023.2 is now available from the InterSystems Software Distribution site.  This new release brings along some great enhancements included with our partner AtScale's Version 2023.

If you hold the InterSystems HL7 Interface Specialist certification, you can potentially get recertified and have your certification expiration date extended by five years by beta testing our new InterSystems HL7 Interface Specialist Recertification project. The project includes hands-on exercises to validate core skills for developers who use InterSystems products to build and test HL7 v2.x productions. During the beta period, which extends until October 31, 2023, anyone who holds the credential is eligible to try the project, and the standard $150 fee is waived for candidates.

We are about to embark on a development where we'll be taking HL7 messages and generating PDF reports from them. We are wanting to future proof our development efforts within the constraints of our currently deployed platform and future upgrade options. We are currently running on Ensemble 2018, though an upgrade to Iris is anticipated - at some indeterminate point in the future. We are aware of Zen Reports and InterSystems Reports (Logi) as technology options, but are also unclear on some details. A roadmap and guidance from those who've done this kind of thing before would be great!

I successfully setup a REST web application with JWT enabled, which is fantastic.  My next configuration 'challenge' is to add 2FA to this REST app.  First question first - is this possible with the OpenAPI generated /login?  The end goal is to build out a SPA (React) using /login for the JWT and adding the Auth bearer token for api calls.  I'd like to prevent the token generation until the 2FA is satisfied - or generate the token, but test if the 2FA is satisfied before allowing calls forward.  Hope that's clear.

※Use this method if you want to compare databases that have been replicated using mirroring, shadowing, or some other mechanism.

You can use the DATACHECK utility to compare global variables. Please refer to the document below.

Routine comparisons use the system routine %RCMP or the Management Portal.

Below is how to use it in the Management Portal.

Hello,

I have a EnsLib.HL7.Operation.FTPOperation that uses SFTP protocol and public/private key to connect to an external vendor moveitcloud.

Issue: The vendor is planning to enable Multi Factor Authentication for this file transfer account.

Question: Have you configured a SFTP operation to use Multi factor Authentication? If not, is there another way?

Thank you,
