TL;DR: you can try the chatbot created with IRIS Flow here; if you'd like to understand how it was created, read this article.

If you prefer, you can follow the tutorial within this article in this video:

Introduction

Sometime ago, Henrique, Henry and I started the IRIS-Megazord project to join several of our projects and introduce IRIS Flow - a tool for creation of automation flows supported by the IRIS Interoperability framework.

Hi folks!

Suppose I have a production in which I added a few components and I want to export its components into files for source control. How do I do that?

I know that there is an option for manual export in VSCode. But how can I make it programmatically?

Thanks!

Hi,

Over time I have created an house-automation solution based on IRIS:
90% of my code is pure ObjectScript, with the most recent 10% being the use of Python libraries for specific tasks.
All of the above being terminal based up to now.
I would like to expose some configuration options / parameters via a very simple web page, to be serviced with the IRIS private web service (so I don't want to use an external Webserver just for this..)

My question:
how should I approach the creation of this simple, one page, web

I deployed online demo here:

https://production-monitor.demo.community.intersystems.com/csp/user/EnsPortal.ProductionConfig.zen?PRODUCTION=dc.Demo.Production#

I updated several settings (File paths and URLs) and I switched Dispatch class to dc.rest.GenericService.

I resent the message from File Service. I saw messages received by both Auth and Api services.

Api process does not (yet) return the desired response. More to come ...

This is the sixth in a series of releases that are part of the developer preview program for 2022.2 Future preview releases are expected to be updated biweekly and we will add features as they are ready.  Many updates, fixes and enhancements  have been added in 2022.2, in SQL management, cloud integration, Kafka and JMS adapters, the SQL Loader, and other areas. Please share your feedback through the Developer Community so we can build a better product together.

The Early Access Program (EAP) is still active for the Columnar Storage.

I'm after some more in-depth information about how the embedded python is implemented with regards to how it works when a python method is called from a CSP page. Will it run in the same Windows process? Will there be any issues with multitasking (considering python doesn't seem very good at this)?

Also, is there a performance penalty to pay for running embedded python vs "using IRIS APIs from Python". 

Another question is what python interpreter the embedded python is using? Is it an Intersystems one or the regular c.python? Version?

Excited to go Python!

I am  building a DTL to transform from a JSON/XML to a custom message. The DTL works fine, but I wants to move some part of the data transformation to another DTL and calls it using the <subtransform> action from the main DTL.

to define 

I have the  <subtransform class='ADT.DTL.SDAToPatientIdentifierInfo' targetObj='target.PatientIdentifierInfo.()' sourceObj='source.{Patient.Extension.PatientIdentifiers(k1)}' />

when I am testing this subtransform I am getting the following for each identifier in the message.

<PatientIdentifierInfo>
    <PatientIdentifier xsi:nil="true" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.

Hello All,

We are looking at taking the HealthShare Health Connect HL7 Interface Specialist certification exam, does anybody know if there is a test/example exam available?  I found practice exams for the some of the other certifications but not for this exam?

Thanks

Date and Time is an important factors in our life. Because all applications are engaging based on Date/Time. But our world is split into multiple time zones. if our product is launched in the world, to maintain the history of events we are definitely required to convert all times to our local time or UTC ( Coordinated Universal Time ). As I know, many known programming languages of C#, JavaScript, Java, etc., provided the library to convert the date and time. i.e with a time zone name we can be able to convert without knowing the UTC offset.

TZ database doesn't exist in InterSystems products.

I recently started to study interoperability and I found the official documentation very helpful in understanding how it works, though I still had some trouble implementing it myself. With the help I got from my coworkers, I managed to create a Demo of a system and learn through practice. Because of that, I decided to write this to help others with "getting their hands dirty" and share the help I got.

Hey Community, 

This demonstration shows how complex data message flows are handled within a healthcare integration solution. See how to use a business process to receive and transmit messages between applications:

In addition to the new supported platforms (Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and RHEL 9), Community Edition limits will soon be updated to:

• Maximum cores: 20
• Maximum connections: 8 

NOTE: These limits aren't available yet for the latest developer preview build 2022.2.0.322.0. It's expected to the Developer Preview 7, to be released by next week.

I am new to using containers. I am working on trying to specify some of the SAM settings and wondered how to access the terminal while IRIS is running in a Container. Can someone help me out?

Hi,
We have a large number of tables with an even larger number of Queries and Class Methods within them and we wish to add the SqlProc keyword to all of them.
Does anyone know if there is a simple way to do this other than by pasting [ SqlProc ] to each method/query? i.e. placing a keyword at the class level rather than a method/query level.

Hi,

I have this arrangement of mirror

Node 1: Primary

Node 2: Failover

Async member is DR server

There is also an arbiter on another server

I want to make 'Node 2' primary as 'Node 1' is to be taken down for some scheduled maintenance work.

I know that I can issue 'iris stop' on 'Node 1' and 'Node 2' should takeover as Primary.

Questions

1. Is this a reliable recommended way? I have had cases in the past when the Failover node did not take over as Primary

2. Is there a better way of promoting Failover to Primary?

Currently what I have is:

set now = $now()
set ts = $zdt(now,-2) _ "." _ $p(now, ".", 2)

Docs state (for -2 dformat):

Fractional seconds in the input value are permitted, but ignored.

Hi everyone!

I am recruiting on a fully remote Intersystems Developer.  This role will be a long term contract to begin with high likelihood of extensions or conversion permanent.  Please check out the job description down below and feel free to send me an email with your resume: Spencer.Frey@insightglobal.com 

The Healthcare Integration Developer is responsible for designing, developing, and deploying the complex near real-time and real-time data interoperability solutions using Healthcare industry-standard data formats/specifications (HL7, FHIR, EDI, etc.).

Hi, 

I have a problem when starting the docker container that the collation is standard US

sample:

docker run --name iris1 -d --publish 1972:1972 --publish 52773:52773 containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/iris-community:2022.1.0.209.0 --check-caps false

After the installation I like to import existing classes and globals but it failed due to an collation error 

We usually use DEUW = German3 

if I change it manually - in the management portal / NLS. -  to DEUW it works fine.

Consider the simplest possible CSP file upload/download page - you upload a file, it's saved in the database, and the file is immediately re-download via %CSP.StreamServer:

Class DC.Demo.CSPUpload.Page Extends (%Persistent, %CSP.Page)
{

Property stream As %CSP.BinaryStream [ Required ];

ClassMethod OnPage() As %Status
{
	&html<<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
		<input type="file" name="file" />
		<input type="submit" />
	</form>>
	quit $$$OK
}

ClassMethod OnPreHTTP() As %Boolean [ ServerOnly = 1 ]
{
	#dim %request As %CSP.Request
	#dim %response As %CSP.

Hi 

I try to create an ODBC connection to MariaDB using SQL Gateway Connection. It works when testing with isql command at OS level but in the SQL Gateway Connection test is failed as this message :

Connection failed.
SQLState: () NativeError: [2002] Message:

And another way try to testing with this command

d $SYSTEM.SQLGateway.TestConnection("MariaDBodbc")

I got the error message look like this :

INST01:USER>d $SYSTEMSQLGateway.

Hi folks!

It's not an innovation, but often I saw not a very informative Error page for CSP apps and got it for myself. Something like that:

Hey Developers, 

Meet the new video on InterSystems Developers YouTube channel:

⏯ Creating Complex Decision Logic with InterSystems IRIS

In the previous articles, we learned the basics of using IMAP protocol to handle messages from mailboxes in an e-mail server. That was cool and interesting, but you could take advantage of implementations created by other ones, available in libraries ready to use.

One of the improvements to the IRIS data platform is the ability to write Python code alongside ObjectScript in the same IRIS process. This new feature is called Embedded Python. Embedded Python lets us bring to our ObjectScript code the power of the huge Python ecosystem’s libraries.

Credentials for a Productions are stored as plain text in ^Ens.SecondaryData.Password and exposed as plain text via SQL table Ens_Config.Credentials which is not ideal as only admins should know the credentials.

I can create my own adapter etc... to store and use encrypted passwords but does anyone know if there is a standard way to do this in a Production?

Alternatively, am I missing how to secure this so the production can run and someone can monitor and operate a production without access to the SQL table or global?

Note sure if anyone would know this. But I presented my team with a Proof of Concept of running SAM to monitor our IRIS Development and Test Clusters.  In talking with them we would like additional OS metrics that aren't provided by what is built into SAM. Looking at more OS detail I found node_exporter from Promethus. I added node_exporter to our server that we want to monitor, but then tried to config isc_prometheus.yml to use node_exporter.
