#InterSystems IRIS

Developer Preview releases are now available for the 2022.2 version of InterSystems IRIS, IRIS for Health, and HealthShare Health Connect.

 This is the first in a series of releases that are part of the developer preview program. Future preview releases are expected to be updated biweekly and we will add features as they are ready.  This program allows us to get feedback on capabilities and enhancements as they're available.  You'll see below a list of enhancements that are targeted for 2022.2.  Some these are not included in the first developer preview.  Look for those over the coming weeks.

We recently migrated to IRIS. Before, the CACHE.EXE executable could be invoked from a batch file directly : 

C:\InterSystems\Cache\bin\cache.exe -s C:\InterSystems\Cache\mgr -U %SYS

This will display the following in console : 

Node: DESKTOP-8H4B321, Instance: CACHE

USER>

Additionally, the pipe instruction can be used to redirect some commands directly

echo write 50 | C:\InterSystems\Cache\bin\cache.exe -s C:\InterSystems\Cache\mgr -U %SYS

I am looking for the same thing in IRIS.

@Ming Zhou asked a great question in https://community.intersystems.com/post/how-get-all-properties-defined-… and the answer sums up exactly why ObjectScript is my favorite.

When I'm first describing ObjectScript or IRIS to someone I always explain that you can write a class, compile it, get a table, and work with your data from an object or relational perspective - whichever is most natural.

I am trying to pass %request.Data from my rest dispatch class to a production so that I can use it in by business operation.  I have created a message that has a property:

Property urlParameters As %String [multidimensional];

to get the data to the production. I am new to intersystems and multidimensional arrays/globals

dispatch class:

Kill parameters
Merge parameters = %request.Data
Set genericRequest = ##class(Core.API.V1.Msg.GenericRequest).%New()
Set genericRequest.

Hi, I tried the following exercise from the IRIS documentation. I updated the username, password and IP address, but receiving this error;

A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. --->

I can use the same credentials and IP address to connect ok via VSCode to my local IRIS...

Any pointers much appreciated.

Has anyone here been successfully populating a %Persistent object from calling %LoadFromMemory() with a temp. global?

I have tried using Sample.Person in the SAMPLES namespace. It worked EXCEPT that I have no way to set the id into that Sample.Person objec.

SAMPLES>Merge array(1) = ^Sample.PersonD(1)
 
SAMPLES>Set obj = ##class(Sample.Person).%LoadFromMemory(1,.array)
 
SAMPLES>zw obj
obj=1@Sample.Person  ; <OREF>
+----------------- general information ---------------
|      oref value: 1
|      class name: Sample.

I think it's a known fact that Populate Utility has very limited functionality. It supports only one language and one country. The list of possible values does not have so many options. 

There is a kind of tool that now can help with it, named Faker. It has implementations in different languages, including Python. Since IRIS has now had the Embedded Python feature, Python faker can be implemented in IRIS.

Hi All,

I am preparing for InterSystems IRIS Core Solutions Developer Specialist Certification. I have completed the desired syllabus. Does anyone have any questions dumps. I have already completed the practice paper on Intersystems website.

This formation, accessible on my GitHub, will cover, in half a hour, how to read and write in csv and txt files, insert and get inside the IRIS database and a distant database using Postgres or how to use a FLASK API, all of that using the Interoperability framework using ONLY Python following the PEP8 convention.

This formation can mostly be done using copy paste and will guide you through everystep before challenging you with a global exercise.
We are available to answer any question or doubt in the comment of that post, on teams or even by mail at lucas.enard@intersystems.com .

Hey Community, 

In this webinar, we’ll discuss how you can now easily integrate Apache Kafka within InterSystems IRIS data platform, including via interoperability productions and programmatically via API calls, as both a producer as well as a consumer of Apache Kafka messages:

Hi Community,

I'm building a browser only code editor for IRIS. Here is a video demonstration. It's still very much "work in progress", more updates to come. I will also add it to ZPM soon.

Is there a way to access a SOUNDEX function from ObjectScript?  There is such a function in the multivalue basic dialect and also one used by Patient Index.

I'd like to to assign a value to a variable, depending on the results of a condition. The equivalent of what can be done in c++ with the following:

(a>b) ? a=1:a=0;

Or in python:

a = 1 if a>b else 0

This makes the code much more readable and compact.

In objectscript it would be:

if (a>b){
    a=1
} else{
    a=0
}

Hey Developers,

We're pleased to invite you to join the next InterSystems IRIS 2020.1 Tech Talk: DevOps on June 2nd  at 10:00 AM EDT! 

In this InterSystems IRIS 2020.1 Tech Talk, we focus on DevOps. We'll talk about InterSystems System Alerting and Monitoring, which offers unified cluster monitoring in a single pane for all your InterSystems IRIS instances. It is built on Prometheus and Grafana, two of the most respected open source offerings available.

Next, we'll dive into the InterSystems Kubernetes Operator, a special controller for Kubernetes that streamlines InterSystems IRIS deployments and management. It's the easiest way to deploy an InterSystems IRIS cluster on-prem or in the Cloud, and we'll show how you can configure mirroring, ECP, sharding and compute nodes, and automate it all.

Finally, we'll discuss how to speed test InterSystems IRIS using the open source Ingestion Speed Test. This tool is available on InterSystems Open Exchange for your own testing and benchmarking. 

I would like to introduce my new project for the Globals Contest. A very new view for the globals browser

Hey Community,

Hello, everyone!

InterSystems IRIS has a menu called Interoperability.

It provides mechanisms to easily create system integrations (adapters, record maps, BPMs, data conversions, etc.) so different systems can be easily connected.

A variety of operations can be included in the data relay process, as examples we can cite: to connect systems that are not normally connected, data can be received (or sent) according to the specifications of the destination system. Also, information can be acquired and added from another system before sending the data.

I am going to take the IRIS Core Solutions Developer Specialist Certification at Global Summit on Monday.  Anyone got any tips or suggestions?

Thanks

Only a few days to go until the Global Summit! George James Software will be on hand to talk about any projects you may have on the horizon, such as application development, data and platform migration, system integration, training, and support – we can work with you to find practical and maintainable solutions that support the growing needs of your organization. 

We're also running a User Group Session on Wednesday, July 22nd at 12pm. It's a great opportunity to find out more about our tools and ask us (and current users!) any questions.

InterSystems and the developer community around ZPM have been working together to take ZPM to the next level, building it into IRIS and making it a tool that can not only manage 3rd-party code, but key parts of InterSystems' products. You can hear a lot more on this topic at Global Summit 2022, and attend an experience lab to get hands-on. 

As a developer, you can also join the ongoing discussion about some final key design issues we are exploring with the community.

Hello everyone,

I would like to know if it is possible to connect to a REST API through production, without having to write a class that extends %CSP.REST. Is there a GUI based way where I can configure my GetRest and then use EnsLib.REST.GenericService and EnsLib.REST.GenericOperation to configure my production and perform transformations? 

Hi, is there a method that can retrieve both the filename and archive path?

I can get the path to the file ok i.e. set sPath = pInput.Filename and I can get the archive path i.e. set tArchivePath = ..Adapter.ArchivePath
