Question Scott Roth · Mar 10

How can I create a Task that tells a Ens.BusinessService to execute its SQL query using the EnsLib.SQL.InboundAdapter?

So far I have come up with

Class OSU.Workday.TerminationsTask Extends %SYS.Task.Definition
{

Parameter TaskName As STRING = "OSU - Workday Termination Update";

Method OnTask() As %Status
{
    try{
        // Call BusinessService
        set tSC = ##class(Ens.Director).CreateBusinessService("OSU.DataSource.Workday.TermService",.tService)

        if $IsObject(tService){
            set inputMessage = ##class(Ens.StringContainer).

Question Anderson Negreli · Mar 3

I am currently managing environments running InterSystems IRIS and Caché on Windows servers.

I’m reviewing storage optimization best practices and I have a question regarding a specific Windows drive setting: "Allow files on this drive to have contents indexed in addition to file properties."

Based on my research, everything indicates that it is better to disable this option, especially on drives used by databases. However, I couldn't find a specific "official" stance in the documentation explicitly mentioning this checkbox.

in C++ program with #include iris-callin.h..  The program terminateswhen it tries to execute IRISSECURESTARTA with exit code -1073741515.

const char *username="user", *password="xyz",*exename="Test_Callin";
int termflag = IRIS_PROGMODE|IRIS_TTNONE|IRIS_TTNEVER;

rc = IRISSECURESTARTA(&pusername, &ppassword, &pexename, termflag, timeout, NULL, NULL);

Note: the %Service_Callin setting is Enabled.

Question Enrico Parisi · Feb 19

I need to reproduce a table (in fact a view, but let's start with a simple table 😊) in IRIS as the currently used in Oracle.

I need to expose/project one column to JDBC as CLOB, in my class I have the corresponding property defined as:

Property GlobStream As %Stream.GlobalCharacter;

In JDBC this column is projected as LONGVARCHAR, this is compliant with the documentation but I need to project it as CLOB.

In addition, I'm no expert in JDBC but wit seems that LONGVARCHAR has a Maximum Length 32,700 characters in JDBC, not quite enough for an arbitrary stream.

Greetings,

As a long time Cache developer is there a way to get a copy of the Cache Studio that supports IRIS 2024.3? I do not have a WRC account? I need Studio just to experiment, not to build commercial software.

Thank you,

Everardo

Question joseph caroè · Feb 11

Hello everyone. I'm currently working on how to implement a solution that makes it possible to include within the response of a BusinessOperation the "RetryCount" for each message.
For Example, we have this message that was retried twice:

This is an HL7.message going through a specific business operation, we did not create a custom one: we used the default implementation EnsLib.HL7.Operation.TCPOperation. This operation should automatically handle retries (infinetely waiting on a response).

I have always struggled with Iterating through a JSON response to pull out certain fields into a Data Class Structure to use to populate fields in a DTL. So I defined the whole structure for the following JSON, with the base structure extending Ens.Response, %XML.Adaptor, and %JSON.Adaptor.

Question Jainam Shah · Jan 25

I've modified the class file, but messages still arrive as a single line (e.g., "H|.../rQ|.../rL") instead of separate lines in the ASTM service. The <ENQ>..<EOT> header looks correct, logs show no errors, and the service receives messages fine. Is there an Ensemble 2018.1 engine setting (like line terminator handling or TCP framing) to fix the line splitting? ​

Question Evgeny Shvarov · Jan 18

Hi folks!

How can we handle JSON boolean types in IRIS?

I'm having a UI sending me a JSON payload as:

{

  "id": 1,
  "strprop": "string",
  "boolprop": true

}

The class is 

MyPackage.MyClass Extends (%Persistent%JSON.Adaptor)

{

strprop as %String;

boolprop as %Boolean;

}

And I'm trying to update an instance of a MyPackage.MyClass and I'm getting a datatype-related error, something like %JSONImportInternal+269...

How am I supposed to deal with booleans in JSON with IRIS and ObjectScript? Any best practice advices?

We are a group of interface analysts in a healthcare setting, running IRIS for Health 2024, having upgraded over time from an old ENSEMBLE environment.  We have been working on a wish list of development goals, but are having trouble finding the correct, best practice method/path for getting to what we envision.

Current state:  We run IRIS for Health on a Redhat 8 virtual machine.  We run Interoperability productions (IE.cls) out of 6 namespaces.  We have a dev/test box and a production box.

Question Dmitrii Baranov · Dec 21, 2025

I have a business service that actively reads data from a remote Postgres database. OnProcessInput opens a XDBC (actually JDBC) connection, executes an SQL query, fetches several thousand rows, iterates the resultset, and closes the connection. On each iteration I also need to update each source row in the remote database using PreparedStatement.

In other words, in every OnProcessInput call I have a long running SELECT statement and several thousands small UPDATE statements.

Question Michael Davidovich · Apr 17, 2025

I have see this discussed on the community but I'm not quite finding an answer. 

I have a method that is called in the OnPreHttp() method of a CSP page.  That method returns a dynamic object and a set a new variable to the %ToJSON method of the object so I can use it in my JavaScript code later to init a table of data (using the #(variable)# syntax).  This creates a MAXSTRING error.  So I changed it to return a %Stream.TmpCharacter.  But if I call Read($$$MaxStringLenght) I only get part of the data.

I was trying to see if we could connect to another Server, we use to execute external scripts using %Net.SSH.Session.

TESTCLIN>set sshSession = ##class(%Net.SSH.Session).%New()

TESTCLIN>set user = <omitted>

TESTCLIN>set host = <omitted>

TESTCLIN>set privateKey = "/nfs/data/ssh/<omitted>"
TESTCLIN>set publicKey = "/nfs/data/ssh/<omitted>.pub"
TESTCLIN>Set statusConnection = sshSession.Connect(host)

TESTCLIN>set statusAuth = sshSession.

Question Evgeny Shvarov · Jan 4

Hi Developers!

Sometimes we need to deal with classes/tables where the primary key and the IdKey are something that is maintained by yourself.

What is the proper way to generate a new ID in case where ID is a %BigInt?

Property id As %Library.BigInt

Are there any system methods to provide it?

There is data already imported via SQL, so there is no last ID stored in ^myclassD, so I cannot do $I(^myclassD).

Thinking of:

set newid=$O(^myclassD(""),-1),newid=$I(newid)

What do you think?

Question Scott Roth · Jan 2

Defining my first REST API within InterSystems using iris-rest-Api-template as a basis and I am seeing if someone could provide me some guidance to see if I can make it work.  

In some of my other posts, I have been trying to come up with a way for our Enterprise Application Development team which works with .Net to build Applications to make a REST call to our instance of InterSystems to query some of the Cache Tables we have defined. 

Using the iris-rest-api-template, I have created the osuwmc.DataLookup.REST.Base.cls

Class osuwmc.DataLookup.REST.Base Extends %CSP.

There is a Master Table within IRIS that I am populating from Epic but want to share it with our Enterprise Application Development Team (Web). As a test I was able to use _SYSTEM from postman to execute the following.

Host: xxxxxxxx
Content-Type: application/json

I have been struggling sometime with trying to take a FHIR Bundle Response, extract the "entry.resourceType", extract the MRN and Name from the Patient FHIR Response...

Going through learning.intersystems.com, it suggested that I try using fhirPathAPI to parse and search my response for certain values, however I am not sure my syntax is correct. Using the AI code, it suggested to set my tree = "Bundle.entry.resource.resourceType"

ClassMethod Transform(source As HS.FHIRServer.Interop.Response, target As osuwmc.Epic.FHIR.DataStructures.

Question Scott Roth · Jul 2, 2025

I was wondering if anyone had a way to automate creating the Query String for a FHIR Request?

Using HS.FHIRServer.Interop.Request in my development I have to specify the following...

I was wondering.... if my source had variable number of fields if there was a way to automate the build for the QueryString when doing a Patient Search?

I am trying to replicate a way to use FHIR as a way to query the EMR instead of using a MS SQL Stored Procedure that is populated via HL7 ADT to query.

Question Scott Roth · Oct 22, 2025

I am looking for a way to capture Data Quality issues with the Source data that is populating HealthShare Provider Directory. 1 way is to use Managed Alerts, but since it could be multiple Providers and different messages it seems silly to alert on every message that has the error. Instead, I was thinking of using the Workflow Engine so it could populate a Worklist for someone to review and work.

Looking over the Demo.Workflow Engine example, I am not comprehending on how to send a task to the Workflow manager to populate the worklist from a DTL.

Question Scott Roth · Oct 24, 2025

According to the Documentation  EnsLib.Workflow.TaskRequest has the following fields...

  • %Action
  • %Command
  • %FormFields
  • %FormTemplate
  • %FormValues
  • %Message
  • %Priority
  • %Subjext
  • %TaskHandler
  • %Title
  • %UserName

I want to be able to capture the Source, Session ID, and any other Identifiers outside of the Error so it will show up on the Task List.

I am struggling how to build a csp template for me to be able to capture additional fields to send to the Workflow

Question Evgeny Shvarov · Dec 29, 2025

Hi Developers!

Consider I have a persistent class derived from %Persistent and I want it to be derived from %JSON.Adaptor to enjoy all the JSON features.

Can I do it programmatically? 

So, it'd be wonderful to have a method in some util class that makes it happen? Something like:

Do ClassUtil.AddAncestor("MyPackage.MyPersistentClass","%JSON.Adaptor")

Any ideas?

I built a BP, that every time that a message is received from a BS, it executes 

 set isAuth=##class(%SYS.OAuth2.AccessToken).IsAuthorized("EpicFHIRPOC",,,.accessToken,.idtoken,.responseProperties,.error)
 if 'isAuth {
        set tSC=##class(%SYS.OAuth2.Authorization).GetAccessTokenClient("EpicFHIRPOC", "*",, .error)        
         set isAuth=##class(%SYS.OAuth2.AccessToken).IsAuthorized("EpicFHIRPOC",,,.accessToken,.idtoken,.responseProperties,.error)
    }

To save time, I was thinking of just creating a BS that goes out and gets the Authorization Token every hour.
