How to get the software

Hi all!

I'm sharing a tool for data ingestion that we have used in some projects.

DataPipe is an interoperability framework for data ingestion in InterSystems IRIS in a flexible way. It allows you to receive data from external sources, normalize and validate the information and finally perform whatever operation you need with your data.

Model

In first place, you need to define a model. A model is simply a class that extends from DataPipe.Model where you need to implement some methods:

Hi is there a simple way to export everything related to a production and import in another instance?

For example exporting a production saving db, ns, mapping, webapp related, resources, roles and so on

Hi,

I need to add a large number of users to TrakCare.

Is there a programatically way of adding users to TrakCare using ObjectScript?
If so, can you please send me an example.

Thanks 

 InterSystems announces its second developer preview, as part of the developer preview program for the 2023.1 release. Many updates and enhancements have been added in 2023.1 and there are also brand-new capabilities, such as production-ready support for Columnar Storage, ability to use Bulk FHIR, and support to MacOS 13 Ventura. Some of these features or improvements may not be available in this current developer preview.

Dear community members!

A very common problem of our users is to use an external database as data source in an IRIS production. As many of you already know, we have two ways to connect directly to an external database, the first one is using an ODBC connection, the second is using JDBC.

In our example we are going to create a connection using JDBC, and we are going to build a simple Docker's project, in this way you will be able to modify the example as you wish.

The code is available from this URL: https://github.com/intersystems-ib/workshop-sql-jgw

Hi:

I don't understand how to use this open exchange item for auto creating deleting items. I think it assumes knowledge in the steps of how to use it which i don't get. 

Added the code into dev on  SRFT.Utility.DeleteHelper.OnDeleteSuper and SRFT.Utility.DeleteHelper.AddHelper  

current class is 

Class Messages.XML.GenericWif.fileparameters Extends (%Persistent, %XML.Adaptor)
{

Property revisionnumber As %String;

Property primarylink As Messages.XML.GenericWif.primarylink;

Property additionalindexes As Messages.XML.GenericWif.additionalindexes;

} 

Hi we have started to get rid of orphaned data and would like to soon compact and truncate the database as will have about 40gb free to return to filesystem after the few weeks of running the new task. 

The idea would be to do this on the shadow server first of mirror rather than primary. 

Is there any reason this is a bad idea? Considering this needs done on both servers of mirrored db? As idea would be to do this on shadow server before we failover to the server a few days afterwards. And do the same for the month afterwards. 

We are looking for Innovators!

We invite early stage startups to join Caelestinus digital health and FHIR startup incubator for the season 2023!

InterSystems periodically updates our software release policies and practices to adjust to customer needs.

We're now changing our maintenance release cadence in order to be more predictable for customers and partners, and tweaking a few other areas.

This article summarizes the release cadence for our Data Platforms products and recent changes to it, and announces a few new updates.

Why change?

In our latest episode of Data Points, @Brenna Quirk and I had a conversation with @Benjamin De Boe about the all-new columnar storage feature in InterSystems IRIS. Benjamin tells us a bit about what columnar storage is, why it's important for InterSystems IRIS users running analytical queries, and how you can learn more. Take a listen!

InterSystems Supported Platforms Update Feb-2023

Welcome to the very first Supported Platforms Update!  We often get questions about recent and upcoming changes to the list of platforms and frameworks that are supported by the InterSystems IRIS data platform.  This update aims to share recent changes as well as our best current knowledge on upcoming changes, but predicting the future is tricky business and this shouldn’t be considered a committed roadmap.

We’re planning to publish this kind of update approximately every 3 months and then re-evaluate in a year.  If you find this update useful, let us know!  We’d also appreciate suggestions for how to make it better.

With that said, on to the update…

InterSystems has corrected an issue that can cause InterSystems IRIS® and Caché to not take advantage of large pages for shared memory on Windows, even though these products report that large pages are allocated. This can have detrimental effects on system performance.

The issue results from a change in Windows 10 that requires modification of InterSystems IRIS® and Caché. Note that this issue also affects all InterSystems products that are based on InterSystems IRIS® or Caché. The issue occurs on the following versions of Windows:

            Windows 10 (version 1703 and above)

Hi guys,

I'm working on a project with my client.
They have a visit table which has about 7,000,000 records. The table is used in a random search page witch holds 20+ conditions to be combined.
The table is defined as below:

Hi Community,

This article is a continuation of my article about  Getting to know Python Flask Web Framework   

In this article, we will cover the basics of topics listed below:

1. Routing in Flask Framework
2. Folder structure for a Flask app (Static and Template)
3. Getting and displaying data in the Flask application from IRIS.

So, let's begin.

Overview

With the gradual improvement of hospital information construction, there are more and more business interfaces in hospitals. Due to the influence of various factors (network, consumer system, etc.), the data processing of business interface may cause excessive message accumulation and even the situation of interface card congestion, which affects the normal business development in the hospital. Therefore, the monitoring of the queue of business interface components becomes more and more important.

Schematron is a rule-based validation language for making assertions about the presence or absence of certain patterns in XML documents. A schematron refers to a collection of one or more rules containing tests. Schematrons are written in a form of XML, making them relatively easy for everyone, even non-programmers, to inspect, understand, and write

1. Overview

With more and more hospital applications built, business interface data processing may be affected by a variety of factors (network, consumer systems, etc.), there is an excessive accumulation of messages or even cause interface lag, affecting the routine performance of hospital IT systems , so the monitoring of the business interface components queue is increasingly important.

While current Intersystems IRIS platform's built-in queue monitoring  only displays real-time queue information for interface components, which is limited in providing the queue data information needed by hospitals. The queue monitoring component program is based on the Intersystems IRIS platform and can monitor all interface components and display component queue information within 24h of the component, as well as query component historical queue data by setting a time period to better meet the needs of current in-hospital applications.

Does anyone happen to have a sample Configuration (CPF) Merge file that includes Action parameters setting up authentication methods (e.g. Password, Kerberos) for certain Services and Web Applications (e.g. via the ModifyService or Modify/CreateApplication AutheEnabled property)?

Thanks!

Hi Community!

I want to share with you mi first Open Exchange application.

It's a tool to made our developments easier. It's a micro service in a IRIS docker that help us in our new features giving us a way to add short links in our SMS, Email campaigns and for links of the different stores for our apps.

It's very easy to use it.

Simply clone this repo:

https://github.com/daniel-aguilar-garcia/cos-url-shortener.git

Open the folder in VSCode and start the docker.

After that you can create short link version of any link via api request. For example with Postman:

If you want to know more about a new project or generate a new way to see your project, the better way is using mindmaps or markdown documentation. The IRIS Connections allows to you generate the mindmap for your classes and get your classes documentation in a markdown file.

IRIS Connections installation

If you want to install using ZPM:

zpm:USER>install iris-connections

If you want to install using Docker:

1. Clone/git pull the repo into any local directory:

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

2. Open the terminal in this directory and run:

$ docker-compose up -d --build

When you need to know the impact on a change in your project, it is very useful to see class dependencies in a network diagram. The IRIS Connections project allows you to see it.

We have created a number of REST adapters that extend %CSP.REST and these have been working fine.  However, we are now facing a problem with a new one where very large XML documents are being posted.  This is the pattern we are following:

Set inMsg = %request.Content.Read()

Set tSC = ##class(Ens.Director).CreateBusinessService("Epro_ItkHttp",.tBusinessService)

Set tSC = tBusinessService.ProcessInput(inMsg, .tBusinessServiceOutput)

However, when the %request is particularly long, it is being truncated, and working with %XML.Reader then fails in the business service class.

At InterSystems, we believe in the responsible disclosure of recently discovered security vulnerabilities.  We provide timely information to our customers, while keeping it out of the hands of people that may misuse it. We also understand each customer has different requirements related to the resolution of security issues.

As we start 2023, we have made two significant changes to our approach to security vulnerability corrections that I’d like to highlight:

1. Security vulnerability patches will be included in every release
2. Improved customer notification

Python has become the most used programming language in the world (source: https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/) and SQL continues to lead the way as a database language. Wouldn't it be great for Python and SQL to work together to deliver new functionality that SQL alone cannot? After all, Python has more than 380,000 published libraries (source: https://pypi.org/) with very interesting capabilities to extend your SQL queries within Python. This article details how to create new SQL Stored Procedures in InterSystems IRIS Database using Embedded Python.
