Announcing gj :: locate.  A simple extension for VS Code that will help you get to the source of your errors.

In VS Code, using either the Serenji extension or the basic InterSystems objectscript extension, this small add-on will open the appropriate class or routine and position you at the exact line where an error occurred.

No more tedious counting of lines to find <UNDEFINED>zCredit+206^Ledger.Invoice.1.  Instead, with gj :: locate you can get there with just a couple of clicks.

This 20 second video tells it all:

 

Download now and enjoy getting to the source of your errors.

Question Utsavi Gajjar · Apr 15, 2021

Hello Everyone,

We are currently in process of implementing REST APIs using IRIS and we are also looking at using Intersystems API Manager. 

Our aim is to implement a Microservices Architechture where Services are small in size,  bounded by contexts, autonomously developed, and independently deployable. 

We are following a spec first approach where we are first defining the API specs into Swagger Hub and using IRIS API Management Service to build the REST classes i.e. the Specification class, Dispatch class and Implementation Class.

You may think it isn’t too difficult to get from label+offset^routine to the actual source line responsible for the error.  For an expert it isn't that hard... most of the time.  But there are enough oddities and special rules that even an expert can get it wrong, whilst spending a lot of time trying to get there.

gj :: locate is the latest tool from George James Software – it debugs any error, class or routine by converting the location of an error in compiled .int code to the corresponding location in your source, and then taking you right there.

Image this scenario…

Question Mike Yackanich · Apr 16, 2021

I am attempting to POST a Bundle containing a resource to an ISC-based Resource Repository. Documentation says "batch" interaction is fully supported - so I assume this is possible.

I post to the FHIR base URL, but I get the following back: " The requested URL /customfhir/r4 was not found on this server."

The bundle I use to post to create a patient resource is very simple (see below). I am using a request.method of POST because I want the Resource Repo to create a new fhir resource id.

I'm using Postman to generate the request.

Question Rick Prichett · Apr 14, 2021

Getting the error "ERROR #9406: Unexpected format for value of field, alternateId, using class base mapping" in the trace. I have it defined as:

Class CDSM.MemberAPI.Response2 Extends (%Persistent, %XML.Adaptor, %JSON.Adaptor) [ Language = objectscript ]
{ Property alternateId As %String;

  Property benefitPlanId As %String;

and the reply is sending:

[
    {
        "alternateId": "",
        "benefitPlanId": "FLSN4444",

Is there a way to handle the empty fields in the reply that is sent back?

Question Marlin Mixon · Apr 14, 2021

Is there a way to automatically transform Object Script arrays to Python lists?  This code results in a list of arrays

Iter0 =  dbnative.iterator("HS.Data.OIDMapD")
for subscript, value in Iter0.items():
    print(f"subscript={subscript}, value={value}")

Here is the result:

subscript=1, value=2.16.840.1.113883.3.86ISCInterSystems Corporation

I suppose it would be too hard to parse this into a list, I was just wondering if there was a function provided to make it convenient and proper.

Thanks,

Marlin Mixon

Question James Hipp · Apr 14, 2021

Hello,

I believe that the Perl and Python bindings that exist on Cache / Ensemble do not exist on IRIS for Health 2020.1 ... is that correct?

 

Is there any similar documentation and samples (like below) , that show an example of how to run a basic Perl or Python script that connects with ODBC or whatever the recommended way?

Question Cindy Fawcett · Apr 12, 2021

I am working with InterSystems API Manager product and I'm trying to solve an authentication problem.  In our implementation, API Manager accepts basic authentication.  One of the endpoints accepts OAuth2.  The request coming into API Manager is FHIR and needs to have basic auth in the header.  The OAuth token is passed to API Manager as a parameter.  I want to send FHIR to the endpoint with a Bearer Token in the header instead of the basic auth that came into API Manager.  Has anyone used a transformation plug-in to solve a similar issue?

Question Rick Prichett · Apr 11, 2021

In this case I am trying to just send a simple error to the log in the event the try is not successful.  Have tried a few ideas I have found on the forum but none have worked as of yet.  

 

   try {
          // Write facility Details to cloned message
      set newPV139 = (FacilityNPI1 _"^" _FacilityName _"^" _ServFacility _"^" _FacilityTIN _"^" _FacilityAddressLine1 _"^" _FacilityCity _"^" _FacilityState _"^" _FacilityZip _"^" _CountyName _"^" _FacilityPhone)
      set newPV139insert = newrequest.SetValueAt(newPV139, "PV1:39(1)")
            } 
                 catch exception {

            }

Question Utsavi Gajjar · Apr 9, 2021

Hello,

I am trying to figure out if we can extend a business process in IRIS. My Use Case is that I am developing RESTful Interfaces and my each REST Interface needs to go through certain processes before getting to the actual action.  

e.g. I have 2 REST Interfaces, GetPatient and GetEncounter. Both of these need to invoke "GetToken" Business Operation to go to the Authentication server to get an authentication token before they go ahead and hit the Business Operation to Get the data i.e. Patient or Encounter.

The InterSystems IRIS can be extended using Java or .NET components and its frameworks inside Object Script source code.

I created an application called OCR Service It built with Docker and installs Google Tesseract inside docker instance configured with english and portuguese dialects, but is possible install more than other 100 dialects. Google Tesseract can receive images and return text extracted from it, using OCR. The results are very good with the trained dialects. But you can train Tesseract to read car plates and any other textual patterns and load it to extract text.

In Studio you could open a class directly via it's name, without having to traverse the package tree with multiple clicks until arriving at the desired class.

You would Ctrl + O or (File -> Open) and be able to simply type in the class name, for example:

You press Enter, and viola - the class is opened.

How do you achieve this in VSCode?

Hi, everyone, 

We in InterSystems Learning Services are compiling and reviewing different non-InterSystems materials for learning various technologies. To this end, can I ask:

-What are your favorite learning resources (books, courses, etc) that have helped you with the development and implementation of the FHIR standard and why do you like them? 

Thanks, Jamie Kantor

Question David Foard · Mar 29, 2021

We are seeing performance issues in purging objects/tables that have parent-child relationships defined. Due to the number of child objects we're seeing very long duration to purge a single parent and all child tables. Is there a better way to do this and get a more performant purge task? I was thinking to purge the child tables individually first and then delete the parent is one way. Is there any other approach?

AWS launched their first generation of Amazon EC2 A1 instances last year, powered by Arm-based AWS Graviton processors. At AWS re:Invent 2019, Amazon announced the second-generation AWS Graviton2 processors and associated Amazon EC2 M6g instance type, boasting up to 40% better price performance over current generation Intel Xeon based M5 instances.

The AWS Graviton2-based M6g instances are currently in preview, and InterSystems jumped on the opportunity to measure their performance with the InterSystems IRIS Data Platform.

March 23, 2021 – Alert: Potential Data Integrity Issue with Mirror Dejournaling

InterSystems has corrected a defect that can cause data inconsistency issues on non-primary mirror members in extremely rare circumstances. This defect affects all released versions of InterSystems products.

If the defect occurs, it happens silently during normal operation on a mirrored system. The result of this defect is that a mirror member fails to dejournal a subset of journal records, which then leads to data inconsistency across mirror members. This affects both failover and async members.

Introduction

InterSystems has recently completed a performance and scalability benchmark of IRIS for Health 2020.1, focusing on HL7 version 2 interoperability. This article describes the observed throughput for various workloads, and also provides general configuration and sizing guidelines for systems where IRIS for Health is used as an interoperability engine for HL7v2 messaging.
