Put the InterSystems FHIR Server to work at the HL7 FHIR Connectathon in Baltimore last weekend, posting bundles, getting all RESTy with resources, and interrogating the Vulcan Implementation Guide We straddled the Real World Data (RWD) and Schedule of Activity (SoA) projects for Vulcan IG folks moving the ball forward connecting clinical research and healthcare data.

This is a self contained class that can be run from the Intersystems Task Scheduler which records peak usage details for databases and licenses built up throughout the day and retaining 30 days history.

To schedule the task to run every hour:  

d ##class(Metrics.Task).Schedule()

You can also specify your own start time, stop time, and run interval:

d ##class(Metrics.Task).Schedule(startTime, stopTime, intervalMins)

Metrics are stored in ^Metrics in the namespace that the class resides in/is run from.

I've installed the latest version of IRIS using Minimal settings as I'm just looking for some basic IDE without connecting to anything.

After install, I see all the files in the Intersystems folder, however there is no "IR" in the system tray. I don't see any executables to launch either. System restart did not populate the system tray either.

Is there any other way to launch Studio?

Hi Friends,

In my production already we have business components (business service , process, operations) and all are working fine.

Now I have change the package structure of few classes and want to update the references in settings for Business components in Management portal.

As this class field is read only , Any other way to update the class reference, instead of creating new business component?

Hi Friends ,

Here I have imported object script cls classes form local file to studio , As a result new package created and all the cls files showing inside the package.

Now When I comple newly imported classes , it is thows compilation error because , each cls is already compiled in source system.

I'm trying to send a message into a production on change a persistent object. 

And when I change an object using SQL - I get an error, 
when change the object using objectscript - I get  a message (but not an error or exception) 
But the most interesting - everything works fine (the object has been changed, and business service receives data) 

Persistent class

Class Demo.

I have migrated one project from CACHE to IRIS that contains lot of classes that inherit from BI (Business Intelligence).

Usually it looks like this : 

Class User.Foo Extends (%Library.Persistent, %XML.Adaptor, %BI.Adaptor)
{
}

I was wondering if there is an equivalent of those classes in IRIS, and, if not, if there is a workaround that would allow me to at least le me compile those classes.

I tried to create an empty class like that : 

Class %BI.Adaptor
{
}

But I got the following error in Studio : 

5883    Item '%BI.Adaptor' is mapped from a database that you do not have write permission on.

⏯ Working with ObjectScript Classes in VS Code for Client Side Editing

I cloned iris-interoperability-template for my app interoperability-test. I wanted to develop an app to test interfaces in Interoperability productions.

I have never run a container in Docker Desktop. I always run containers in AWS. My first problem was that I got an error when I tried to build the image using docker-compose. The error was about BuildKit. I worked around the error by building the image with a docker build command relying on DOCKER_BUILDKIT environment variable:

DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build --progress=plain --no-cache --tag testint .

Next I updated docker-compose.

Hi all. Today we are going to install Jupyter Notebook and connect it to Apache Spark and InterSystems IRIS.

Note: I have done the following on Ubuntu 18.04,  Python 3.6.5.

Introduction

If you are looking for well-known, widely-spread and mainly popular among Python users notebook instead of Apache Zeppelin, you should choose Jupyter notebook. Jupyter notebook is a very powerful and great data science tool. it has a big community and a lot of additional software and integrations.

Great news, the extension to Docker Desktop for InterSystems Container Registry is now publicly available for everyone.

It is already available in the marketplace in Docker Desktop. It was published today, and it requires restarting Docker Desktop to see it.

Let's consider these two ways of passing an obj to a function:

//var is a structured obj
(1) do ..methodX(var)
(2) do ..methodX(.var)

In c++ if we pass an obj by reference like in (2) we save a lot in computation because we are not copying the whole object, and when the object is modified within the function it is modified also for everyone.

In this case does (2) achieve any better performance than (1)? Is passing with the "." save any computation? the object is copied anyway?

Is there a simple way of passing obj to a function?

I am trying to pull the status of operations in health connect. I'm successfully pulling if it's enabled/disabled, but I'm not getting access to where the current item status is held (for example, items in error). I found "##class(EnsPortal.Utils).ItemStatuses", but I can't retrieve data from that. Is this data readily accessible via another means?

Thank you!

On the Latest GlobalSummit 2022, InterSystems Introduced Cloud SQL. So, you may have lightweight InterSystems IRIS with access to SQL only. Well, what if you would still need some Interoperability features in the cloud as well? There are various solutions on the market nowadays, which offer a bunch of integration adapters out of the box and can be extended with support from the community. Some time ago, I've implemented an adapter for the Node-RED project, which can be deployed manually everywhere you want. Now I would like to introduce a new integration with my recent discovery, n8n.io

n8n.io is a workflow automation platform, that supports over 200 different integrations out of the box and from a community, and now including InterSystems IRIS.

In this article, I’d like to tell you about a startup Nanteo which is one of the first batch of startups at InterSystems FHIR startup incubator —  Caelestinus. 

Who are we and what do we do? 

Now that IRIS 2021.1 is available as a preview version, I would like to demonstrate a "new" feature. The Java Gateway has been around for a while now but in 2021.1 it has new skills. External Language Servers are available for Java, DotNet, and Python. Here is a quick - very quick - demo of using the External Java Server. Please don't focus solely on what this demo is doing but rather on what is happening in this demo. First, I acquire a gateway connection oref. This gateway connection is connected to the External Java Server - one of the External Language Servers.

set java = $system.external.

Hello everyone, I’m a French student that just arrived in Prague for an academical exchange for my fifth year of engineering school and here is my participation in the interop contest.

I hadn’t much time to code since I was moving from France to Prague and I’m participating alone, so I decided to make a project that’s more like a template rather than an application.

I wanted to participate since my field (Data Science and AI) is not often linked with sustainability and the contest was a way for me to express myself in this important subject that is sustainability and Environnement.

I am happy to share with you my first experience of using a docker container version of IRIS for Health to explore your interest in using or having a trial by taking the advantage of a docker container that is lightweight, and easy to deploy. This cookbook will go through the implementation steps using the GitHub repository called ENSDEMO written by Renan Lourenco.

Steps for setting up an IRIS for Health Community Edition docker container environment

1. Docker up and running
2. Download the docker image

docker pull containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/irishealth-community:2022.2.0.304.

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:
