InterSystems IRIS is a Complete Data Platform
InterSystems IRIS gives you everything you need to capture, share, understand, and act upon your organization’s most valuable asset – your data.
As a complete platform, InterSystems IRIS eliminates the need to integrate multiple development technologies. Applications require less code, fewer system resources, and less maintenance.

There is a popular package "WebTerminal". It is excellent in most situations.
Except:

  • running system commands in your operating shell is not so easy
  • as it communicates to the IRIS host over HTTP and WSS it consumes 2 connections
    • With only 5 connections in the community license (and the "Grace Period of CSP")
    • you can hit the limits rater fast: 2 Webterminals + 1 SMP and you are done
  • WebCommand is a pure CSP page consuming just 1 single connection
  • WebCommand allows multiple ObjectScript command lines running in sequence
  • With $ or !

One of the crucial business dimensions is the dimension “Where”. It is necessary to know where a customer was born or where he lives. Where will the order be delivered? Where have there been more sales, and where can we sell more? Where are our stores located? From Where is the customer accessing our e-commerce? These and other principal questions use the “Where” dimension. Today the best service to provide geographic accuracy and quality for these data is Google Maps. Taking advantage of the Python support of the new IRIS (2021.2+), we can use the Geocoder library (https://geocoder.

You have read about OAuth2 / OpenID Connect but you don't know how to use it? Have you ever needed to implement Single Sign-On (SSO) or secure web services based on tokens? Did you have to add authentication / authorization to your web applications or services and you didn't know how to start?

What about a step by step example where you can set up an authorization server, a client and a resource server? Here you can find an example where you will configure InterSystems IRIS instances to act as each one of these OAuth2 roles.

Question Sean Connelly · May 23, 2022

I want to embed the DTL editor in a third party web application.

If I open up the DTL editor then the full management portal banner is displayed.

http://localhost:52773/csp/healthshare/user/EnsPortal.DTLEditor.zen?DT=Foo.NewDTL1.dtl

If I open the same DTL in studio then I get just the editor, the banner is not displayed.

The DTLEditor page has the property studioMode that controls the banner display, but its not obvious how this is set.

Q. Is there a way to control that property without extending and shimming the page?

Q. Could there be a URL parameter or header that controls that value?

Q.

Colleagues, hello!

In this article, I will tell you how we reduced the report generation time from 28 minutes to 1 minute. Let me tell you how we achieved this.

I hope that if necessary you will be able to reproduce the same results for yourself. Useful links will be inside this post, so read to the end.

Let's start.

Report

We are reporting for a company using Adaptive Analytics and InterSystems Reports Server. Previously, this report was generated in the form of screenshots from DeepSee. In general, it was not bad, but it took a lot of time and did not look very readable.

We need to send some coordinates to a spaceship through a laser beam. To do that we have to encode it, and beam it out into space. Your mission is to implement the encoder with a compression standard. As usual shortest solution wins.

Task

You will receive a string of comma-separated integers and you will return a new string of comma-separated integers and sequence descriptors.

Question David Little · May 17, 2022

So it appears that this feature is still missing in 2022.1 (https://docs.intersystems.com/iris20221/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls…).

Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas on how to create Namespace Package Mappings on deployment in a 'neat' way during automated deployment?

  I really like the ability to use merge cpf on deployment of our servers, but this one missing action is kind of holding me back.  Appreciate if anyone else has encountered this and how they approached it.

Cheers.

This package offers a utility to export an XLarge Global into a JSON object file and to show
or import it again. In a previous example, this all was processed in memory. But if this is a
large Global you may either experience <MAXSTRING> or an <STORE>  error
if the generated JSON structure exceeds available memory.
 


Academic refers to the structure created.

Question Michael Davidovich · May 18, 2022

Continuing on the journey of implementing %UnitTest, @Timothy Leavitt's Test Coverage package, and automated testing with Jenkins.

My question today: why do we utilize a unit test root directory?  

I've been defining packages and classes to write unit tests as I've been developing and I run the tests on the command line or using a routine file that is setup as a debug target which has been working great.  I use DebugRunTestCase() to do this (so the classes aren't deleted).

Hi

I have a few Zen pages, one of which is implementation of %CSP.StreamServer which I'm using to download a PDF file, however, any file downloaded is 5Kb smaller than the original. This is the code I'm using:

Class GMECC.DocmanConnect.Pages.downloadGPNotOnHub Extends (%ZEN.Component.page, %CSP.StreamServer)
{
    ClassMethod GetId()
    {
        Quit$Get(%request.Data("filepath",1))
    }

    ClassMethod OnPreHTTP() As%Boolean
    {
        set filepath = %request.Get("filepath")
        
        set tFs=##class(%Stream.FileCharacter).%New()
        set tFs.

I ran into an interesting ObjectScript use case today with a general solution that I wanted to share.

Use case:

I have a JSON array (specifically, in my case, an array of issues from Jira) that I want to aggregate over a few fields - say, category, priority, and issue type. I then want to flatten the aggregates into a simple list with the total for each of the groups.

The InterSystems Iris Fhirserver running on a Raspberry Pi Raspberry running as a FHIRserver

Raspberry running as FHIRserver

About a year ago I wrote some articles about the installation of the HAPI FHIRserver on a  Raspberry Pi. At that time, I only knew the basics of the FHIR standard, little about the technology behind FHIR-servers and not much more about the Raspberry. By trying, failing, giving up and trying again I learned a lot.
