Being interoperable is more and more important nowadays. InterSystems IRIS 2022.1 comes with a new messaging API to communicate with event streaming platforms like Kafka, AWS SQS/SNS, JMS and RabbitMQ.
This article shows how you can connect to Kafka and AWS SQS easily.
We start with a brief discussion of the basic concepts and terms of event streaming platforms. 

Event streaming platforms purpose and common terms

Event streaming platforms like Kafka or AWS SQS are capable to consume a unbound stream of events in a very high frequency and can react to events.

Machine Learning

Machine Learning is a mandatory technology to build advanced data analysis and automate manual activities with excellent efficiency.

One of the most important tasks of dashboards is, on the one hand, to help you perceive data in an aggregated form, and, on the other hand, not to lose the depth of immersion in the data if you need this. One of the tools that help us achieve this result is drill down. It enables us to display several hierarchical levels of data, from aggregated to detailed.
Our task is to make an analytical dashboard that will be able to drill down by time periods:  from months to weeks and days in each chart.

Is there a way to compare the value in a source field against all of the values in a repeating field?  For example, we have multiple DG1 target segments populated.  Is there an easy way to check a source DG1 segments against all of the target DG1 segments?  I didn't know if there is a wild card I can use for the comparison.

Hi!

I have a question regarding SQL insert/update from the mananger portal's SQL window.

I am trying to do an insert with a value that contains multiple spaces ($32) between two words. This is needed for a comparative reason. But the spaces are automatically trimmed away all the time. How should I write to keep these?

Example:

Insert into TableA
(MyColumn) Values('xxxx    yyyy')

then the spaces are trimmed away and it becomes: 'xxxx yyyy'

But I want to keep the spaces. How do I get around the problem?

How do I detect that sync mirror backup is caught up to primary? Or at least close to caught up.

I'm executing the code on a backup.

Many password requirements can be enforced using a password validation routine which is available to implement in System Management Portal. But how about this one:

Check that at least 50% of the characters changed from old password to new password.

We need to have access to the old password to check this, currently password validation routine only gets the new password.

We can create a new form to update the password where user must enter the old password and new password. I think I can block users from changing the password the usual way by having a password routine reject all passwords.

I am trying to investigate whether the SAM component will give us metrics that we are looking for when it comes to # of messages, etc... I have IRIS 2022.1 running on Red Hat 8, but noticed that SAM was bundled as a docker-compose image. REL 8 doesn't install docker off the bat, but has podman which reading podman 3 versions and later, I should be able to call docker-compose.yml images. After installing Apache and making some modifications to docker-compose.yml, I tried executing the start.sh script after verifying podman was running and podman-compose was installed.

After almost four years on hiatus, my CI/CD series is back! Over the years, I have worked with several InterSystems clients, developing CI/CD pipelines for different use cases. I hope the information presented in this article will be helpful to someone.

This series of articles discusses several possible approaches toward software development with InterSystems technologies and GitLab.

We have an exciting range of topics to cover: today, let's talk about things beyond the code - namely configurations and data.

Previously we discussed code promotions, and that was, in a way, stateless - we

I have a SOAP web service on an IRIS system. From within the code of the WebMethod I would like to log the remote IP address of the client. Is there any way to get access to the client's IP address from the ObjectScript code in the SOAP service? This will save me some headaches correlating logs from IRIS with web server logs.

Hi all

I'm testing migrating our existing installers (without ZPM) using the docker dev template as a basis with a commercial image and licence key.

So far everything builds as I expect, but the one issue I have is the production doesn't apply itself automatically.

In my iris.script I have custom installer that uses this manifest below but it does not observe the last three steps

<NamespaceName="${DataNamespace}"Create="no"><Invokename="Credentials"Class="GOJ.IrisApp.Install.ApplicationLayer"Method="AddCredentials"CheckStatus="1"><Argname ="Namespace"Value="${DataNamespace}" />

AtScale pulls data from the IRIS database. 

The AtScale product forms a virtual OLAP cube on the intermediate layer, which external applications can access using standard SQL and MDX (Multidimensional Expressions) languages. The solution includes three main components.

Design Center is used for designing OLAP cubes, forming links between metadata and dimensions of a virtual cube.

I am aware that we have 5 License Units on Community Edition. But I have issues figuring out how it's working.

I have Community Edition

USER>write $system.License.KeyCustomerName()
InterSystems IRIS Community

Freshly started system, only terminal session open, so, only one license units used, and 4 left. As expected

USER>write $system.License.LUConsumed()
1
USER>write $system.License.LUAvailable()
4

Quote from documentation - $SYSTEM.License.MaxConnections() returns the maximum number of connections a user can make while consuming one license unit. 

USER>write $system.License.MaxConnections()

I am trying to avoid parsing the SDA3 stream in each process. I am doing some section wise validation in different processes so i need to pass the SDA3 to each process.

When i pass that SDA3 stream that takes a lot of space in HD and takes a lot of time to parse the SDA3 object.

Is there any way that once i parse that SDA3 i can pass the same object to other processes, and i can save my storage and process that fast.

I cannot pass this by default to other process as non persistent object cannot be passed to another job(as per my finding).

Any leads will be great.

Hi all

I have a pair of servers configured as a mirror, each server sits in a separate data centre.

I have noticed that occasionally, the primary will report that the backup is disconnected in the Mirror Monitor, and I believe this to be due to connection conditions between the two data centres.

What I want to do is log the status of both servers from the primary on a regular basis using a service. I know %System.Mirror can return the status of the current member, but how can I log the get the status of the other member as well?

Has anyone had any success reading barcodes from PDFs or images in a Cache/IRIS application? I've been looking at some possible solutions for this, including the open source ZXing libraries. I know we have the ability to create them in Zen and Intersystems Reports, but as far as I know, there's nothing built in to actually read data from a barcode. If anyone has suggestions on how to go about this, I'd love to hear them.

In our specific case, we print reports with a Code 128 barcode on them.

I have a problem with the recent update 4.9.4 of the WebTerminal.

This message appeared after the loading of the page :

New update is available. Click here to install it now. Changelist:

So I installed the new version. Unfortunatly, after refreshing the page, I have this message again and again :

Please, refresh the web page to start a new session.

Hi,

I have a question about deleting journals at the OS level(Linux) without corrupting the IRIS DB or it’s mirror copies.

The reason for deleting journals is the filesystem it lives on frequently fills up. 

I don't have enough disk space to further expand the journal filesystems.

When the journal filesystem fills up then the application stops.

I have the following IRIS nodes(mirror status)

LIVETC01            Backup

LIVETC02            Primary

LIVEDR                Async Copy        **OFFLINE**

ARBITER

LIVEDR is currently offline but IRIS software has been installed.

I am doing a HL7 data transformation with object script but need to only write a substring from the first "(" of the NTE-3 field to the end.

example

Input: NTE|1|||Some text (HI) (321)|ABC

Desired Output: NTE|1|||(HI) (321)|ABC

Basically I'd like to delete "Some text  ".

If I were writing a shell script I would use sed 's/^.*(/(/' with perhaps a modification to get only the first.

I use the function wizard but can't seem to get the right code.
