Using the Java Gateway to speed development

InterSystems IRIS includes dynamic object gateways for Java, .NET, and (now) Python.  These gateways allow your IRIS application to use libraries in these languages, removing the need to create everything from scratch in ObjectScript.

In this example, we use the iTextPdf and Apache PdfBox libraries to read a text file and produce a basic PDF from it.  These libraries are deep and rich PDF controls, so a little bit of development could produce an example application that produces far more compelling results for your needs.

InterSystems is offering  a new and easy challenge as part of Global Summit 2020. As you know IRIS Data Platform 2020.4 and IRIS for Health 2020.4 are now in preview release. We are looking to improve the developer experience in migrating from earlier 2020 container release(s) of these products  to the 2020.4 preview release.
We invite you to complete a survey and get 7000 points on Global Masters🎁

Migrate from Java Business Host to PEX

With the release PEX in InterSystems IRIS 2020.1 and InterSystems IRIS for Health 2020.1, customers have a better way to build Java into productions than the Java Business Host. PEX provides a complete set of APIs for building interoperability components and is available in both Java and .NET. The Java Business Host has been deprecated and will be retired in a future release.

Advantages of PEX

• Allows developers to create any Production component in either Java or .

Hi Developers!

Here're the technology bonuses for the InterSystems Interoperability Contest that will give you extra points in the voting:

• Business Process BPL or Business Rule DTL Usage
• Custom Interoperability Adapter Usage
• Production EXtension(PEX) Java or .NET usage
• Workflow Engine usage
• ZPM Package deployment
• Docker container usage

See the details below.

It's a wrap!    All of the focus sessions have aired now.  Of course, all of our 102 pre-recorded focus sessions are available on-demand now, so you can watch any and all of them, even if you missed the opportunity for live Q&A.

Speaking of live Q&A - we've had 6 live sessions, and these too are available for you to watch.  I wrote about this, and how your questions make us better, in a separate blog article. 

Smart Factory Starter Pack   One highlight that got a lot of attention today was the release of the InterSystems IRIS Smart Factory Starter Pack on OpenExchange.

Hi All,

Can you please guide me on how to restore the .cbk file from the 2015 Cache version into the 2017 version or any other versions of Cache or IRIS software? I have a new instance on my server. It's an entirely new server. I have a .cbk backup file.  I want to restore the backup file into a new namespace which one I will create on my new server.  When I am trying on ^DBREST utility, I am getting "This is not a Cache Backup File" this error. 

Please advise on this. It's a bit urgent.

Thanks,

Arun Kumar. 

We've just finished the second day of focus sessions - with a LOT of great content!  With parallel tracks, it's hard to keep up - but one advantage of a virtual conference is that you can watch anything you missed on-demand!

In yesterday's blog (Highlights of Day 1), I covered most of the special announcements such as InterSystems IRIS Adaptive Analytics and the FHIR Accelerator Service, so time to turn to a few broader strategic themes today.

I am trying to configure IRIS using python. The first task I wanted to do it change the journal directory. I cannot figure out the right way to work with the Config.Journal class with python. I can get the text to query the current setting.

returnValue = dbnative.classMethodValue("Config.Journal","GetList")
print(returnValue )

But I don't see a straightforward way to parse the $List returned by GetList() I was hoping there was an easier way.

How do I

1. Query configuration parameters?

2. Set configuration parameters?

Using python?

The second week of Virtual Summit 2020 kicked off with the first day of focus sessions. We covered a LOT of great content - 38 sessions across a wide range of subjects. I thought it would be valuable to recap and review some of the bigger announcements and talking points.

 IntegratedML  Following the announcement of global availability for IntegratedML, this week highlights IntegratedML in multiple sessions.

Newbie Warning...

I have a DTL which accepts HL7 2.3:ORU_R01 And Transforms to Custom Request Target

the target request contains  an array of a custom class named OBXobj with some %string properties which  Extends (%RegisteredObject, %XML.Adaptor)

in the DTL i have a for each loop which should copy OBX segments to the the request.

the DTL test tools works and builds a XML with the OBX info.

when running the Production i get NULL in the Object.

see attached images

1. Test

2. Message sent.

3. Transformation

Whats my problem?

Thanks!

Hello,

In Atelier IDE, there is option to import source from XML, how to do this from VS Code?

Thanks

I'm attempting to extract some very large messages from Interoperability/Ensemble, and I'm just not getting something right ...

The closest I've come to getting something useful is this:

ClassMethod GetHL7Msg(pId As %String) As %Stream.TmpCharacter [ SqlName = GetMsg, SqlProc ]
{
    Set tHl7 = ##class(EnsLib.HL7.Message).%OpenId(pId,,.tSC)
    Throw:$$$ISERR(tSC) .GetErr(-400, "HL7 Message with ID "_pId_" Not Found.")
    Set tMsg = ##class(%Stream.TmpCharacter).%New()
    Set tSC = tHl7.OutputToLibraryStream(.

Propose sequence and logic in IRIS

• to convert HL7 V2 message to FHIR/CDA * to convert JSON/XML to FHIR/CDA * to convert HL7 SIU message to FHIR/CDA.

I don't know execute witch one? 

Hi Developers and Interface Engineers!

I'd like to share with you how you can help your organization today obtain a better understanding of key message processing metrics (i.e. average message processing times, number of inbound messages, number of outbound messages, etc.)! Given the embedded IRIS database powering integration, you already have all the data you need -- you just need to put the data to use and present them in a user-friendly format!

Hello every one, 

I am a rookie and i am willing to gain some experience on IRIS for Health by doing some development. 

I went through the website and found only an online development environment. 

But I want to take it a step further ahead bu downloading the software for my own and trying something new. 

But, unfortunately I did not find a link to download the IRIS for Health.

I would be pleased if there is any one who has the link to help me out with it. 

Hoping to hear soon. 

Regards. 

Stay Blessed. 

Stay Safe. God Bless. 

Hello Developers!

Previously, I shared with you all a handy operational analytics dashboard you can build to visualize key message processing metrics, such as number of inbound/outbound messages, average processing times, etc.

This time around, I’d like to walk you through an enhanced log monitor using a workflow many of you are already familiar with – working with alerts as messages inside a production, creating routing rules to filter and route alerts, and using pre-built components like the email adapter to send notifications at a granular level.

Is there an undocumented class method that will output the FQDN?

$SYSTEM only reports the part of the name concatenated with the namespace. Checking $SYSTEM.INetInfo doesn't provide the full DNS name, only a partial value that matches $SYSTEM.

I can do a call out to the OS to get that value which seems to be the only way I can get the value.

GA releases are now published for the 2020.3 version of InterSystems IRIS, InterSystems IRIS for Health, and InterSystems IRIS Studio!

A full set of containers for these products is available from the WRC Software Distribution site, including community editions of InterSystems IRIS and InterSystems IRIS for Health. In addition, all containers are also available from the new InterSystems Container Registry. This article explains how to use the registry.

The build number for these releases is 2020.3.0.221.0.

I have a class that has 2 different cursors for different queries, audit1 and audit2. which are in 2 different methods. The first query runs fine, but the second one generates a 102 error.

Is there an issue with having more than 1 cursor in a class?

Has anyone seen this before?

Hi i have rules and i want to log them to analyse what rules executed , I want to add in the log Msg Controller Id, MRN, Value coming in the message, and my customize text telling whats wrong with this field... i have like 50 rules and at the end i can check the log table and found like 20 entries so it means 20 data issues are there for a given message control id. any advice how to to do it

Hi,

Does anyone have a simple code snippet to encode and upload a raw text to Azure Blob?

I'm looking for any  reference documents on migrating about 3 TB of data from DB2 to IS IRIS Healthshare..  I've looked through the IS  documentation  and SQL gateway, or TSQL are some of the methodologies mentioned , was wondering  if anyone had done this type of migration before, and can provide any pointers.

InterSystems has corrected a defect that can cause a build-up of orphaned processes consuming system resources. In extreme cases, this can cause a system to become unresponsive.

This defect affects the following versions:

• Caché and Ensemble 2018.1.4
• InterSystems IRIS and InterSystems IRIS for Health 2019.4, 2020.1, and 2020.2
• HealthShare Health Connect (HSAP) 15.032 built on Ensemble 2018.1.4
• HealthShare Health Connect 2020.1

No other InterSystems product versions are affected by this issue.  Specifically, earlier versions of Caché and Ensemble, Health Connect 2019.1 and 2019.1.

Hi

can I have two business services listening on same port ?

so let’s say

service a port 51000

service b port 51000

this way we don’t need to open port every time we add new service
