November 19, 2021 - Advisory: Apache Web Server provided with InterSystems kits – Vulnerability reports

InterSystems kits include an Apache web server, which provides a convenient way for customers to interact with the Caché/IRIS Management Portal without needing to install an external web server; however, this web server should never be used for production instances, and customers must install a web server that fits their specific needs and security/risk requirements.

Recent tests have noted some security issues with the currently included Apache web server.

Hi,

I am getting Failed to fetch error while calling FHIR accelerator service - API Development service

Thanks

I have just created a new Global Master Topic, "IRIS Cheatsheets". IRIS has introduced a lot of new functionality, especially in scripting languages, FHIR R4 support, enhanced Interoperability Tools, and IRIS Analytics. Having spent 35 years working on Windows-based PC's and Laptops, I have surprisingly little knowledge of Linux, Docker and Git. Furthermore, I have written almost every application and Interface in ObjectScript with splatterings of SQL, .Net, and Java Gateways and the most basic knowledge of WinSCP, Putty, SSH. All that changed when I received my first Raspberry Pi.

Hi,

I want to activate encryption and I also generated encryption key but Encrypt database option is disabled. How to enabled this option?

Thanks

We have CSP deployed using CACHE and after research, though it's still supported, CSP isn't recommended for production.  What is Intersystems recommended direction?

Advisory: Discontinued Technologies and Features | InterSystems Developer

EnsLib.HL7.Adapter.TCPInboundAdapter has a Connected property that I assume is set to the state of the connection session with the remote host; i.e. 1 when Connected, 0 when not. I'm assuming this is the property the Production Configuration web page uses to display the state of the service (green for Connected, red for not Connected, etc.).

How can I interrogate the value of that property of an active service, via a method running in separate process?

(It really seems like I should know this, but I'm just not finding the right magical incantation)

Hello, Complete novice here.

For some reason one of my productions can't be stopped, it only goes to the suspended state. This is an issue because now I'm not able to start any of my other productions. How can I force the suspended production to stop? I have tried Do ##class(Ens.Director).StopProduction() in the terminal, but I get an error the class doesn't exist.

How can I fix this issue?

Hi Developers! As part of an internal company hackathon at InterSystems, I'd love community feedback on a few topics. Feel free to chime on any/all of these via comment or direct message to me.

1. If you were to launch a new application/project, what problems would you need to solve right off the bat? What technologies would you use? Why?
2. What are the most common and repeated problems that you find yourself solving?
3. Where in InterSystems' technologies do you spend most of your time?
4. In a solution you have recently implemented, how were your time/efforts allocated? (e.g.

Hi,

I am getting below error while starting local IRIS for health instance

below is the error in windows application event log 

Thanks

InterSystems is very pleased to announce the 2021.1 release of InterSystems IRIS Data Platform, InterSystems IRIS for Health and HealthShare Health Connect, which are now Generally Available to our customers and partners.

The enhancements in this release offer developers more freedom to build fast and robust applications in their language of choice, both server-side and client-side. This release also enables users to consume large amounts of information more effectively through new and faster analytics capabilities.

Good morning -

As we're starting to create more custom message classes to represent out JSON-based integrations, I was pondering how to implicitly grant SELECT privileges to a specific Security Role so they can utilize Message Viewer to search through the message history.

So if all of our custom JSON message classes are under OurParentPkg.Messages.REST.* (e.g., OurParentPkg.Messages.REST.AddPatientRequest and OurParentPkg.Messages.REST.AddPatientResponse), is there a method to ensure that our analysts can be granted the SELECT permission to anything created under OurParentPkg.Messages.

Does InterSystems have any best practices for deploying IRIS into Kubernetes? For example one question we have is should IRIS have a dedicated AKS cluster or can it be added to an existing cluster?

October 26, 2021 – Alert: Missing Locks after ECP Database Server Restart or Failover

InterSystems has corrected a defect that can violate application locking guarantees in a distributed cache cluster (ECP configuration), which can lead to application integrity issues. This defect affects:

• All major releases and maintenance versions of InterSystems IRIS and InterSystems IRIS for Health, starting with 2020.1.

Hey community, how are you doing?

How do you exercise your creativity? How do you test new ideas?

Over the years I have always thought about creating new things, modifying existing ones, experimenting, testing, breaking (it always happens), building again, starting over.

The contests promoted by InterSystems are an excellent source of motivation, obviously, the prizes bring a lot of attention and this you cannot deny. But not just prizes/rewards, they also give us a creative challenge, an opportunity to create, reimagine, test, experiment.

InterSystems Global Summit (or Virtual Summit this year) is traditionally a time of big announcements, and I'm sure our friends from InterSystems have quite a lot of new and exciting things to share with us this year. Here at Banksia Global, we have a big announcement for you as well. Please meet our new website built to make IRIS-based software distribution a breeze: ZpmHub.com!

Quite a complex scenario we are trying to solve but should be able to understand.

We're developing a task executer that runs on a server with a certain timezone.

The tasks run every day at a defined time, but in different timezones.

We're saving in database at what time we want to execute the task, and in what timezone (don't go to the save in UTC pitfall, as with DST it will be at different times)

What I want to do if when opening a task from the database, convert 02:00 Europe/Madrid, either to UTC or to local (server) time.

I've found the class HS.Timezone.Server.

When start docker in VSCode:

C:\Git\ESKLP2\ESKLP>docker-compose build --no-cache
ERROR: The Compose file '.\docker-compose.yml' is invalid because:
Unsupported config option for services.iris: 'init'

Why? Please, help

Hi All,

Hopefully someone can help me with this question.

I've got a FHIR adapter service defined as described here:

FHIR Interoperability Adapter
 

The web application is running:

This works well when asking the FHIR metadata I get a nice 200 response:

But when I want to request patient data I need to send the Access Token in the Request:

This gives a 401 error and I don't see any message at the InteropService (HS.FHIRServer.Interop.Service).

It looks like that the webapplication doesn't like the Authorization header:

How can I make sure that the webapplication just ignores the Autorization header?

Hey Developers,

This week is a voting week for the InterSystems Interoperability contest! So, it's time to give your vote to the best solutions built with InterSystems IRIS.

🔥 You decide: VOTING IS HERE 🔥

How to vote? Details below.

In the last years the data architecture and platforms focused into Big Data repositories and how toprocess it to deliver business value. From this effort many technologies were created to process tera and petabytes of data, see:

The fundamental piece to the Big Data technologies is HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System). It is a distributed file system to store tera or petabytes of data into arrays of storages, memory and CPU working together.

Hi Community,

The InterSystems IRIS has a good connector to do Hadoop using Spark. But the market offers other excellent alternative to Big Data Hadoop access, the Apache Hive. See the differences:

Source: https://dzone.com/articles/comparing-apache-hive-vs-spark

I created a PEX interoperability service to allows you use Apache Hive inside your InterSystems IRIS apps. To try it follow these steps:

1. Do a git clone to the iris-hive-adapter project:

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

2. Open the terminal in this directory and run:

$ docker-compose build

We need to use SOAP API for some webservice. I created the request/response & operation classes via the SOAP wizard. Prior to making the invokeMethod, 

..Adapter.InvokeMethod

i need to set a custom HTTP header as part of the SOAP call. Can you please let me know how i can set that. That Adapter ( EnsLib.SOAP.OutboundAdapter) class does not have methods for setting HTTP headers.

Thank you,

Ravi
