#InterSystems IRIS

I am working on a setup using the iris docker image (iris:2020.4.0.547.0).  I need the timezone to be a different timezone than the host.  Is there a way to do that by passing in an options / variable? 

Hi, I’m using $ZDATETIME to return the following

• USER>w $ZDATETIME($zdth($zstrip("2022-03-29T15:10:00+0100","<>W"), 3,5),3)
• Output: 2022-03-29 15:10:00

I would like to return just the YYYYMMDDHHMM i.e. stripping out the seconds.

 Does $ZDATETIME have an option for this?

Hi,

The company I work for has one software application that uses an IRIS database, with almost all the others using SQL databases.

On a SQL database, we can create local tables and create views. These are invaluable when it comes to reporting, and everyone here is quite up to speed with using SSMS to create functions, stored procedures, etc.

However, when it comes to IRIS, no-one seems to know anything.

InterSystems IRIS Business Intelligence allows you to keep your cubes up to date in multiple ways. This article will cover building vs synchronizing. There are also ways to manually keep cubes up to date, but these are very special cases and almost always cubes are kept current by building or synchronizing.

What is Building?

The build starts by removing all data in the cube. This ensures that the build is starting in a clean state. The build then goes through all records specified by the source class.

The PDF version (when you click article title, the link to the pdf it is showed) allows you click and go to the article. Enjoy!

I have a rather simplistic JSON Object of this structure: 

{"id":<someid>,"value":<some string>,"details": 
 [{"id":<someid>,"value":<some string>,"details": 
  [{"id":<someid>,"value":<some string>,"details":  
   [{"id":<someid>,"value"}
   ,{"id":<someid>,"value"} 
   ,{"id":<someid>,"value"} ]
  ,[{"id":<someid>,"value":<some string>,"details":  
     [{"id":<someid>,"value"}
    ,{"id":<someid>,"value"} ] ]
 ,{"id":<someid>,"value":<some string>} ] } 
   

The depth and number of depth elements are variable.
It's a finger snip to work it down with  %DynamicObject.

What is Selective Build?

Selective Build is a BI feature in InterSystems IRIS (introduced in version 2020.1). Selective Build allows you to build specific elements of your cube while keeping your cube online.

What is special about Selective Build?

Before getting into the details of Selective Build, a brief recap of the different phases during a regular cube build is important.

I am having trouble formatting %Time to a JSON format. I have tried configuring the parameter "FORMAT" of my property but that didn't work. For some reason, it keeps putting a Z and the end of the time. 

Property:

Property TimeCollected As %Time(FORMAT = "2");

Setting the Property through a custom function which is used in the DTL:

set convertedDateTime= ##class(Ens.Util.Time).

Let's assume that we have already connected a data source to Adaptive Analytics, created a project and added tables there.

Now we will prepare Adaptive Analytics for work. First, we need to select data from tables, to make it available for the future report. To do this, we need to create dimensions from the columns of the tables. Dimensions are usually created to break down our data into categories, such as what city the user lives in, or what month a purchase was made in.

Hi Community,

We are pleased to invite all the developers to the upcoming InterSystems Globals Contest Kick-off Webinar! The topic of this webinar is dedicated to the Globals contest.

In this webinar, we’ll show you how to deal with Globals to implement different data models and sophisticated indexes. As always, our experts will answer the questions on how to develop, build, and deploy Globals solutions using InterSystems IRIS.

Date & Time: Monday, March 21 – 11:00 AM EDT

IMPORTANT NOTE InterSystems no longer provides a separate InterSystems Reports Server container. To run containerized InterSystems Reports Server, use Logi Reports Server container and your InterSystems Reports Server license. Documentation.

InterSystems Reports is powered by Logi Report (formerly named JReport), a product of Logi Analytics. InterSystems Reports is supported by InterSystems IRIS and InterSystems IRIS for Health. It provides a robust modern reporting solution that includes:

• Embedded operational reporting which can be customized by both report developers and end users.
• Pixel-perfect formatting that lets you develop highly specific form grids or other special layout elements for invoices, documents, and forms.
• Banded layouts that provide structure for aggregated and detailed data.
• Exact positioning of headers, footers, aggregations, detailed data, images, and sub-reports.
• A variety of page report types.
• Large-scale dynamic report scheduling and distribution including export to PDF, XLS, HTML, XML, and other file formats, printing, and archiving for regulatory compliance.

InterSystems Reports consists of:

• A report designer, which provides Design and Preview Tabs that enable report developers to create and preview reports with live data.
• A report server which provides end users browser-based access to run, schedule, filter, and modify reports.

From InterSystems documentation.

This article focuses on the Server part of InterSystems Reports and provides a guide on running Report Server in containers while persisting all the data.

I have created a package that offers a utility to load a Global into JSON object and reverse     
to create a Global from this type of JSON object. Efficient refers to the structure created.
Only Globals nodes containing data are presented in the generated JSON object.

This example demonstrates the difference you may experience when you write to
Gllobals directly from Embedded Python compared to native ObjectScript.

To make this demo useful I start 2 background jobs that simply write sequentially
to a dedicated global. A common control method signals for a synchronous start.
Similar a common stop & view interrupts data feeding.

That's the principle process:

As 2 jobs run in parallel the probability of just using sequential blocks is reduced.
During the development of this demo, I detected that the JOB command has problems
with ClassMethods in Embedded Python.

InterSystems has corrected a defect that causes incorrect ObjectScript routine compilation.

This defect exists only in the recently released 2021.1.1 version of:

            InterSystems IRIS Data Platform

            InterSystems IRIS for Health

            HealthShare Health Connect

InterSystems recommends that 2021.1.1 not be used. Incorrect routine compilation occurs silently and can cause unpredictable logic execution. 2021.1.1 versions have been removed from distribution channels.

It sounds strange though it's embarrassing.

I have a class with ClassMethods written in ISOS and Embedded Python.

The ClassMethods written in ISOS start in the Background as usual. No problems

But my 

ClassMethod setPy() [ Language = python ]
{
import iris, datetime, time
- - -

Just fails the JOB command with (even 15 sec) timeout and $ZC=0
This is not funny
My actual workaround:
I created a ClassMethod in ISOS, that does an elegant JobStart
and this ClassMethod only runs the Embedded Python ClassMethod.

Could anyone please explain why Caché has a %STARTSWITH function while it supports ANSI SQL "LIKE"?

thank you very much.

Hi Community,

I DTL I am assigning value to %TimeStamp type praport named BirthDate.

18001225  converted to 1800-12-25T00:00:00  but giving below error

ERROR #7208: Datatype value '1800-12-25T00:00:00' is not a valid timestamp format
> ERROR #5802: Datatype validation failed on property 'xxx.xxx.xxxx.xxxxx:BirthDate', with value equal to "1800-12-25T00:00:00"

20000612   converted to 2000-06-12T00:00:00  is not giving any error

Please help me to resolve this. 

* We did not define the variable type as %TimeStamp   , this persistence class created based on XSD.

The GA release is now published for the 1.5 version of the InterSystems API Manager (IAM).

The container for IAM, including all relevant artifacts to upgrade from earlier versions of IAM can be downloaded from the WRC Software Distribution site in the Components area.

The build number for this release is IAM 1.5.0.9-4.

InterSystems API Manager 1.5 makes it easier to manage your API traffic, integrate with your environment and onboard users of your APIs. It has many new capabilities, including:

• Improved User Experience
• Introducing new Developer Portal tools
• Support for Kafka connectivity

Myself and the other Technology Architects often have to explain to customers and vendors Caché IO requirements and the way that Caché applications will use storage systems. The following tables are useful when explaining typical Caché IO profile and requirements for a transactional database application with customers and vendors.  The original tables were created by Mark Bolinsky.

In future posts I will be discussing more about storage IO so am also posting these tables now as a reference for those articles.

How do I use the LOAD DATA command as described here.

I have the following LOAD DATA statement:

LOAD DATA FROM FILE 'E://Temp/Values.txt'

into PARIS.UAGU_MNDOOUT1 (AHSU_ID, AHSU_UAG_ID)

Where do I run it? It doesn't work in the SQL Gateway, in the terminal, in an embedded SQL command.

What am I missing?
