#InterSystems IRIS

NB. Please be advised that PKI is not intended to produce certificates for secure production systems. You should make alternate arrangements to create certificates for your productions.
NB. PKI is deprecated as of IRIS 2024.1: documentation and announcement.

In this post, I am going to detail how to set up a mirror using SSL, including generating the certificates and keys via the Public Key Infrastructure built in to InterSystems IRIS Data Platform. I did a similar post in the past for Caché, so feel free to check that out here if you are not running InterSystems IRIS. Much like the original, the goal of this is to take you from new installations to a working mirror with SSL, including a primary, backup, and DR async member, along with a mirrored database. I will not go into security recommendations or restricting access to the files. This is meant to just simply get a mirror up and running. Example screenshots are taken on a 2018.1.1 version of IRIS, so yours may look slightly different.

Hi Friends,

I have a requirement to convert pdf from URL to Base64 format. I have created one utility method and used in the DTL.

Working fine for small pdf files , we got one pdf with size 4MB , this method is failing (creating corrupted base64 content).

Could you please suggest me the way to convert big pdfs?

set encodedData = ""
set request=##class(%Net.HttpRequest).%New()
    do request.Get(httpUrl)
    if request.HttpResponse.StatusCode = 200
    {
//set len = request.HttpResponse.Data.SizeGet()
    set content = request.HttpResponse.Data.Read()
    set encodedData = $system.Encryption.

I am reading file values by position with comma-separated string and it gives me incorrect values on the below line because there is a comma within double quotes within a string.

I would like to remove any text that has quotes with object script or alternatively separate each value with pipe-delimited so that I can return position 8 as code and position 9 as a description

s line = file.

The concept of low code development is getting more and more important across all industries. Everybody who is starting to get into low code programming, will inevitably come across Node-RED. InterSystems IRIS is renowned for its interoperability and so should be accessible via Node-RED.

For those who have not heard of Node-RED yet: Node-RED is a Low-Code programming application, which is based on so called nodes that are connected with wires. Nodes process incoming messages and forward them to the next connected node.

Hello,

I am currently having the experience activating prometheus for iris db.

This environment that I speak uses IKO as a base.

I need to put 3 notes in the iris service area.

Are they:

annotations:
   prometheus.io/path: "/monitor/metrics"
   prometheus.io/port: "52772"
   prometheus.io/scrape: "true"

I'm not finding this possibility in the IKO documentation.

Has anyone had this experience and can help us with this challenge?

 Below is the current configuration we made, however, it did not create the annotations we need

apiVersion: intersystems.

Hi Team,

Can you please help me to develop EDI X12 to XML and XML to EDI X12 conversion in IRIS 2021.1 for EDI 204, also known as Motor Carrier Load Tender?

Also, suggest flow for how to achieve this kind of functionality in InterSystems IRIS. If you are able to provide some Videos/Documents on the EDI X12 interface for 204 then it would be very helpful for me.

Thanks,

Harshdeep Acharya

I am having an issue where a routine that is changed is at times still running the old version of code.  The routine is compiled after the change.
I am wondering if it is possible that the routine code is still in the routine buffer cache.  Is there a way to force a flush or reload of the buffer for a given routine?

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a network protocol for transmitting files over TCP/IP connections in a network (including the Internet) configured to transfer files via this protocol. In an FTP transaction, a file sender is called a local host. A file receiver involved in FTP is a remote host, and it is usually a server. Although many file transfers can be conducted using Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), FTP is still commonly used to transfer files behind the scenes for other applications, such as banking services.

Hi,
I need to do a DELETE and then do some INSERT transactions on a linked table and don't want the DELETE and need to be able to ROLLBACK the DELETE if any of the INSERT transactions fail.
I have tried Object Script transaction processing (TSTART, TCOMMIT and TROLLBACK) and the SQL transaction processing (START TRANSACTION, COMMIT and ROLLBACK), but neither work.
Could I be doing something wrong in the way I am implementing these, or do does transaction processing simply not work for linked table?
Thanks for any advices, in advance.

With $Property is possible to dynamically get and set values on property of an instanced class and with $ClassMethod is possible to invoke methods from a class. I would like to know: Is there an elegant way to do Write and Set dynamically on variables without using Xecute?

Easy, easy, I'm not promoting a war against the machines in the best sci-fi way to avoid world domination of Ultron or Skynet. Not yet, not yet 🤔

I invite you to challenge the machines through the creation of a very simple game using ObjectScript with embedded Python.

I have to say that I got super excited with the feature of Embedded Python on InterSystems IRIS, it's incredible the bunch of possibilities that opens to create fantastic apps.

Let's build a tic tac toe, the rules are quite simple and I believe that everyone knows how to play.

Folks!

Could you please share any best practices on how to debug Embedded Python code?

Given I have the following class method:

ClassMethod HideShip() As %Status [ Language = python ]
{
    import iris
    shipsgl=iris.gref(iris.cls(__name__)._GetParameter("BoardStorage"))
    shipsgl.kill()
    from random import Random
    board=iris.cls(__name__)._GetParameter("BoardRange")
    x=random.randint(0,board+1)
    y=random.randint(0,board+1)
    shipsgl.set([x,y],1)
}

And when I run it shows the following error:

USER>d ##class(eshvarov.sample.SeaBattle.GamePython).

Hello.

Our scenarios need to persist messages in the orchestrator. Our Iris Orchestrator is an ephemeral pod with no persistent disks running on AWS EKS in multiple AZ.

We want to know if the iris orchestrator has:

- AWS EFS Support
- Integration with AWS SQS
- Sharing to the same AWS EBS.

I just wrote up a quick sample to help a colleague load data into IRIS from R using RJDBC, and figured it's worth sharing here for future reference.

Ultimately it was pretty simple, aside from IRIS not liking "." in column names; the workaround is to just rename the columns. Someone better at R than me could probably provide some generic approach. 

# Need a valid value for JAVA_HOME prior to calling library(RJDBC)
Sys.setenv(JAVA_HOME="C:\\Java\\jdk-8.0.322.

Hi -

I'm looking for some help in getting an OS level application on my server to startup from a csp page and I'm just missing something.

I have a routine (and I've tried the same code from an instance method, with the same results) that will launch an application at the OS level using the $zf(-100,keywords,program,parms) from a terminal session, but it won't/doesn't seem to work when I call the code from a #server() call from my webpage. I don't know if there is some combination of keywords or perhaps a different version of the $zf() call that should/would work.

I am trying to get the Apache Web Gateway with Docker running on a development RHEL 8 machine so I do not have to config the Web Gateway and Apache apart from each other. I noticed the Apache Web Gateway docker image is using IRIS Community Edition. However when I try to run the docker image with podman I am running into issues with the IRIS setup. I was wondering if someone could help me. When I get the image to run I am seeing the following errors...

We will receive an ORM message in Business Service in Iris. From that ORM, an ADT^A31 message will be generated and sent out to the EMR before the ORM message is sent out. The ORM message has to wait until Iris receives an acknowledgement from the EMR indicating the ADT message was received. Then, the ORM message will be sent to the EMR. What do I need to set up to hold the ORM message until the acknowledgement is received? 

Thank you!

Hi, devs!

Consider you have an arbitrary global with an unknown amount of indexes.

How to print all the values to the terminal with Embedded Python?

Introducing a new component driver for Deltanji source control, which enables highly granular management of InterSystems Interoperability Productions with tight integration into the management portal

InterSystems Interoperability Productions are defined in a single monolithic class definition. A production can contain many hundreds or thousands of configuration items. This presents a problem if multiple developers are working on different Business Processes within the same production simultaneously. Simultaneous development is almost inevitable for large productions containing many configuration items. 

Hey Community, 

New video is already on InterSystems Developers YouTube channel: 

⏯ Using the DTL Editor in InterSystems IRIS to Transform X12 Messages

Basically the title, I couldn't find anything concrete in the documentation regarding this. The documentation states 'The user-defined ^ZMIRROR routine allows you to implement your own custom, configuration-specific logic and mechanisms for specific mirroring events, such as a failover member becoming primary.' I didn't see any more details on what exactly those mirroring events are besides a failover member becoming primary, which I wasn't sure if that included a DR async becoming primary.

I have a string below and I want to read the  value of the first href with ObjectScript

Hi Friends,

I have created an object script class method to anonymize live hl7 messages with some info masking.

To anonymize files ,  I need to place live messages in d://input folder and need to execute the below command in the Intersystems terminal

do ##class(prashanth.tool.HL7Annonymiser).processFilesInDir("D:\Input\")

ANONYMIZED files will be generated in D:\output\"  folder.

everything is working fine.

Hi folks!

I'm working with a global via Embedded Python as a class method. I init the handler for a global via:

gl=iris.gref("^Global")

What is the way to check the value at index ^Global("x","y")? E.g.:

In ObjectScript I'd do the following:

set result=$data(^Global("x","y"))

How do I do the same in Embedded Python?

I checked the documentation, but haven't found an answer.
