InterSystems has corrected two defects that affect online backup of very large databases. Backups taken via external methods, such as snapshots or direct file copies, are not affected. These defects exist in all released versions of all InterSystems products.

The first defect only affects databases with more than 2³¹ blocks. It results in a degraded database after restoring from an online backup. For example, databases that have a block size of 8 KB (the default) are only affected if they are larger than 16 TB. The correction for this defect is identified as RJF437.

The second defect affects d

Note (October 2022): yape has been deprecated and replaced by YASPE, there is no more development on yape.

Note (June 2019): A lot has changed, for the latest details go here

Note (Sept 2018): There have been big changes since this post first appeared, I suggest using the Docker Container version, the project and details for running as a container are still in the same place  published on GitHub so you can download, run - and modify if you need to.

If I set up a Mirror and add a new database to the mirror, do I need to create the new database on every single member of the mirror or will it automatically appear on Mirror members? How about HSCUSTOM database, which already got created when installing IRIS?

Preview releases are now available for the 2020.2 version of InterSystems IRIS, IRIS for Health, and IRIS Studio!

The build number for these releases is 2020.2.0.196.0.

Container images, components, and evaluation license keys are available via the WRC's preview download site.

Community Edition containers can also be pulled from the Docker store using the following commands:

• docker pull store/intersystems/iris-community:2020.2.0.196.0
• docker pull store/intersystems/irishealth-community:2020.2.0.196.0

As promised, here is Part 2 of our interview with Russ Leftwich! In this half, Adam Coppola talks with Russ about some of the InterSystems technologies that play a part in the concepts from Part 1, as well as some specific discussions about modern FHIR applications. After the interview with Russ, we were also joined by Jenny Ames to talk about the upcoming FHIR Dev Days. Check it out, and make sure to go subscribe to Data Points!

After I loaded the intersystems/iam:0.34-1-1 image in local, I am trying to do the next step of configuration.

2) Configure your InterSystems IRIS instance

  2a) Enable the /api/IAM web application
  2b) Enable the IAM user
  2c) Change the password for the IAM user

Do we need to change these settings in iris.cpf file? any inputs where we have to configure? I have IRIS 2019.1.1 installed in my machine.

Thanks,

Hi Developers!

We are going to establish a series of InterSystems IRIS Online Programming contests this year.

In March we started with ObjectScript CLI and here is the schedule of topics for the next few months:

• April - InterSystems IRIS with REST API
• May - InterSystems IRIS Native API application: use Python, JS, .NET, Java native APIs in your application to use IRIS
• June-July - InterSystems IRIS AI/ML solutions. IntegratedML as a bonus
• August - InterSystems IRIS for Health FHIR application
• September - InterSystems IRIS Full-stack application: IRIS as a server and UI on any framework and any form: and web, desktop, mobile UI
• October - Interoperability solutions for InterSystems IRIS and InterSystems IRIS for Health
• November - Analytics Solution using InterSystems IRIS
• December - Multi-model solution using InterSystems IRIS

All applications should be runnable with InterSystems IRIS in a docker container.

I am trying to install IAM in my local and I downloaded IAM-0.34-1-1.tar.gz and extracted. I went to the location where iam_image.tar is available and run below command in the command prompt. 

C:\ESB\HC\IAM-0.34-1-1.tar\IAM-0.34-1-1\IAM>docker load -i iam_image.tar

Purpose

Over the Easter Weekend I touched on some deep learning classifier for Covid-19 Lungs.  The demo result seems fine, seemingly matching some academic research publications around that time on this topic. But is it really "fine "? 

Recently I happened to listen to an online lunch webinar on "Explainability  in Machine Learning", and Don talked about this classification result at the end of his talk:

Hi There,

I have Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2019 installed and tried to setup the entity framework as per Using Entity Framework with InterSystems IRIS Data Platform (https://learning.intersystems.com/course/view.php?id=1046)  tutorial but I can't see the ISC data source in MS Visual Studio's Data source section. Does this mean that MS VS Community 2019 is not supported with the Entity Frmawork?

Hello,

We have a Service which behaves differently even though two equal Soap UI XML requests are being sent, from different systems.

When it is being sent from the other system, our Service's log shows:

ERROR <Ens>ErrGeneral: invalid HTTP version'xmlns:ges="http://XXX.XXXXXXXXX/GestionPacientes">'  

When we send the same XML message from SoapUI, it is being processed by our system.

We have checked that the service's NAMESPACE is: "http://XXX.XXXXXXXXX/GestionPacientes"

How could we debug further this behaviour?

We have read:

I have a Staging table i want to populate by running a Stored Procedure  and then query the same table with some sort of SQL inbound Adapter.

is this possible or do i need to create a separate service for this?

InterSystems has corrected a defect that can result in data integrity issues on systems using mirroring.

This defect affects:

• All currently released versions of InterSystems IRIS and IRIS for Health, except 2020.1
• Caché and Ensemble versions beginning with 2011.1.1
• All HealthShare products based on the above Data Platforms versions

This defect is more likely to be encountered in IRIS and IRIS for Health 2019.4. It is highly unlikely to have occurred on deployed systems running any other version.

The issue can only occur in a situation that meets all of the following conditions:

I am trying to create a simple example of allowing binary (tiff) files to be selected and uploaded asynchronously to an IRIS for Health back-end.   I have managed to write the HTML and Javascript which works great with regular text / ascii files, but fails with binary files.

If you have used one of these utilities on a database, InterSystems recommends that you perform an integrity check on it. This will identify any data corruption that has occurre

Hi Everyone,

I've been working on deploying an IRIS for Health environment in EKS. There is a video session in the InterSystems learning portal about this feature but I have not succeeded in finding the proper documentation and resources to use this in my Kubernetes cluster.

Has this been deprecated/discontinued? Any idea where can I find the resources? Should I stick to StatefulSets instead of using the IrisCluster resource type provided by this operator?

Loading your IRIS Data to your Google Cloud Big Query Data Warehouse and keeping it current can be a hassle with bulky Commercial Third Party Off The Shelf ETL platforms, but made dead simple using the iris2bq utility.

Let's say IRIS is contributing to workload for a Hospital system, routing DICOM images, ingesting HL7 messages,  posting FHIR resources, or pushing CCDA's to next provider in a transition of care.  Natively, IRIS persists these objects in various stages of the pipeline via the nature of the business processes and anything you included along the way.  Lets send that up to Google Big Query to augment and compliment the rest of our Data Warehouse data and ETL (Extract Transform Load) or ELT (Extract Load Transform) to our hearts desire.

A reference architecture diagram may be worth a thousand words, but 3 bullet points may work out a little bit better:

• It exports the data from IRIS into DataFrames
• It saves them into GCS as .avro to keep the schema along the data: this will avoid to specify/create the BigQuery table schema beforehands.
• It starts BigQuery jobs to import those .avro into the respective BigQuery tables you specify.
