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,

⏯ Saving on Storage

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

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.

I am trying to connect to IRIS deployed on AWS EC2 instance using JDBC connection string but I am getting connection refused. Username :_SYSTEM.

Even the management portal URL is not opening for me

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

Hello,

I'm using a ComplexBatchFileService to retrieve and process a 425 Mo File ( lines ) 

At some point the Business Service is in failure , and displays this error : 

ERREUR #5002: Erreur Cache: <FILEFULL>%SaveData+18 ^CFAO.EOS.MasterFilePR.PMP.RM.ART1.Record.1 ^CFAO.EOS.MasterFileE50F.RecordD(535405931),e:\eos\
+
ERREUR #5002: Erreur Cache: <ROLLFAIL>%TRollBack+10 ^%occTransaction

Do you have any idea about the cause of this error ? ( i have checked the iris databases disk space and it's not full )

Thank you in advance.

Hi Community,

Let's meet together at the online meetup with winners of InterSystems Grand Prix contest!

A great opportunity to have a discussion with our Experts on InterSystems technology. Our winners' demo included!

Date & Time: Friday, June10, 2022 – 11:00 AM EDT

Hello all,

I was looking at some code of a business service of which the author is unknown. It's very simple in what it does; it extends from Ens.BusinessService and has a method that performs SendRequestSync() to a business process. However, I noticed that the business service lacks an OnProcessInput() method. Rather, it uses a method called General() which has the same sort of signature/structure that OnProcess input does--pInput as [Custom Message Class], Output pOutput as [Custom Response Class]. 

The method works as observed in a message trace but I am not sure why.

Motivation

This project was thought of when I was thinking of how to let Python code deal naturally with the scalable storage and efficient retrieving mechanism given by IRIS globals, through Embedded Python.

My initial idea was to create a kind of Python dictionary implementation using globals, but soon I realized that I should deal with object abstraction first.

So, I started creating some Python classes that could wrap Python objects, storing and retrieving their data in globals, i.e., serializing and deserializing Python objects in IRIS globals.

How does it work?

Like ObjectScript%DispatchGetP

While reviewing our documentation for our ^pButtons (in IRIS renamed as ^SystemPerformance) performance monitoring utility, a customer told me: "I understand all of this, but I wish it could be simpler… easier to define profiles, manage them etc.".

After this session I thought it would be a nice exercise to try and provide some easier human interface for this.

The first step in this was to wrap a class-based API to the existing pButtons routine.

I was also able to add some more "features" like showing what profiles are currently running, their time remaining to run, previously running processes and more.

The next step was to add on top of this API, a REST API class.

With this artifact (a pButtons REST API) in hand, one can go ahead and build a modern UI on top of that.

For example -

Good Morning SMEs,

I am a .NET developer and new to using this IRIS Component. We are using InterSystems.Data.Clients ADO.NET component to connection to IRIS, I am able to open the connection but when i called Close, ADO.NET code showing connection is closed state in .NET code but in IRIS side it showing as connection is still open. The will close only after recycling apppool or closing IISExpress/calling application

Here are the steps I used to open the IRIS connection.

IRISADOConnection conn = new IRISADOConnection(connString);
IRISReference pError = new IRISReference("");
conn.Open();

⏯ IntegratedML Update from the Field

In the good old days (tm) determining the size of the data, streams, and indices for a class/table was easy - you just ran %GSIZE and check D, S, and I globals respectively.

However, nowadays sharding, optimized global names, and indices in separate globals produce %GSIZE output looking like this:

            Global Size Display of /irissys/data/IRIS/mgr/irisshard/
                              1:35 PM  Dec 02 2020

          IRIS.Msg       1     IRIS.MsgNames       1     IRIS.SM.Shard       1
       IS.DGoWeK.1   24359       IS.DGoWeK.2       3       IS.DGoWeK.3    2810
       IS.DGoWeK.4

For our WSDL the portType value is being suffixed with "Soap" at the end.

When i update the the SERVICENAME parameter. in the Service I can update the start of the portType value. Is there a way to prevent the suffix being added?

WSDL segment

<portType name="BillingDocumentRequestConfirmation_OutSoap">
<operation name="BillingDocumentRequestConfirmationOut">
<input message="s0:BillingDocumentRequestConfirmationOutSoapIn"/>
<output message="s0:BillingDocumentRequestConfirmationOutSoapOut"/>
</operation>
</portType>
<binding name="BillingDocumentRequestConfirmation_OutSoap"

You may have seen my series of articles on GlobalToJSON closing with Embedded Python.
And to me, Embedded means inside a Class and not PEX or other external variants.
The first variants showed that ePy is not an ultimate requirement. ISOS/COS may do it as well.
Here I try to position ePy inside IRIS.
