Question phillip jack · Apr 2, 2022

Hi Team,

I would like to save the array subscript with in double quotes 

eg sub1=111,sub2=444 (these values are dynamic)

set array(sub1,sub2)=""

It will be saved as array(111,444)=""

but I want to save it as array("111","444")=""

I am trying to save it from the class like """"_sub1_"""" but its not displaying as expected.

Kindly do the need full.

Thanks in Advance

image Before this project, I built zpm packages almost by hand. I edited the module.xml file, inserted resources into it and copied the resources to disk, then checked the correctness of the assembly. I was tired of it and I decided to make this work easier for myself.

I present to the contest zpm-generate-ui resource manager, which represents the ui for selecting packages, classes, globals and web applications for creating zpm… modules, for subsequent export to the current registry or repository for deployment in the same or another instance.

Generate module.

Question Tom Bruce · Mar 30, 2022

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.

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.

Question Lewis Houlden · Mar 22, 2022

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.

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.

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 Official RB Omo · Mar 15, 2022

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.

Question Robert Cemper · Mar 11, 2022

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.
