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.

Hi Community,

We're pleased to invite you to the upcoming webinar in Spanish called "Exploring the new Embedded Python feature of InterSystems IRIS"

Date & Time: March 30, 4:00 PM CEST

Speaker: @Eduardo Anglada, Sales Engineer, InterSystems Iberia

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.

thank you very much.

Hi Community,

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?

The InterSystems Kubernetes Operation (IKO) version 3.3 is now available via the WRC download page and the InterSystems Container Registry.

IKO simplifies working with InterSystems IRIS or InterSystems IRIS for Health in Kubernetes by providing an easy-to-use irisCluster resource definition. See the documentation for a full list of features, including easy sharding, mirroring, and configuration of ECP.

IKO 3.3 Highlights:

• Support for 2021.2 and 2022.1 editions of InterSystems IRIS & IRIS for Health
• Support for Kuberentes 1.21
• Deploy common System Alerting and Monitoring (SAM) configurations as part of your irisCluster
• InterSystems API Manager (IAM) can now also be deployed and managed as part of the irisCluster
• Automatic tagging of mirror pair active side, so a service can always point to the active mirror member.

Hello

I have trouble capturing the value from a stored procedures output variable from an MS SQL Database.

In the database querywindow of MS SQL manager, the procedure is called as:
declare @return As varchar (100)
Execute TheProcedure @return. @return then contains string of content.

From HC I call the procedure:

set RetValue = ""
set Inparm = "@return"
set Outparm = ## class (% ListOfDataTypes).% New ()

SET SQLQuery = "exec TheProcedure ?"
(have also tried
"{call TheProcedure (?)}"

SET tSC = ..Adapter.ExecuteProcedure (, .Outparm, SQLQuery, "o *", Inparm)
set RetValue = outparm

This is the fourth part of the series of articles on migrating from the main databases on the market to InterSystems IRIS. In this part, the procedures for migrating from Microsoft SQL Server will be detailed. As described in previous articles, there are currently a few options to do the migration, but the two most popular options include the use of DBeaver (https://openexchange.intersystems.com/package/DBeaver) or SQLGateway. The first one will be demonstrated in this article, and the second one in an excellent article by Robert Cemper, DB Migration using SQLgateway (https://community.

Hey InterSystems Community!
This is probably far-fetched - is there a way to get notified/get a piece of code triggered whenever the state of a global changes?

Now what could I possibly want with that? Quite simple! I would like to forward the content of a global (in this case the "FSLog" global written by the FHIR implementation) while adding timestamps to it - to create some sort of file-based logging for it.

Hey community! How are you doing?

I hope to find everyone well, and a happy 2022 to all of you!

Over the years, I've been working on a lot of different projects, and I've been able to find a lot of interesting data.

But, most of the time, the dataset that I used to work with was the customer data. When I started to join the contest in the past couple of years, I began to look for specific web datasets.

I've curated a few data by myself, but I was thinking, "This dataset is enough to help others?"

So, discussing the ideas for this contest with @José.

Hi Community,

We are not using github or any source safe till now. We have ensemble hl7 interfaces (business services, processes, operations)available in production. Now we want to deploy these interfaces to a brand new cloud server with iris instance.

Here in current production we have studio access but new cloud server iris we have only vscode access.

I have exported all the classes from current production using  Studio and  I have exported xml file with me.

How to import this exported file into VS CODE to deploy classes in a new cloud server?

I want to be able to view generated items from visual studio code. In Studio there was an option in the open dialog:

Specifically, I added a namespace to my workspace for editing (Using InterSystems Server Manager) and I want to be able to access the generated items in this namespace.

The Documentation team in InterSystems Learning Services is happy to announce the new InterSystems IRIS Server Migration Guide!

Have you ever wanted to copy, move, or clone an instance of InterSystems IRIS to a new server? Maybe the operating system on the old server is no longer supported, or maybe you want to add a new member to an existing mirror. Migrating your application databases is easy, but what about your tasks, users, roles, resources, and other security settings? What do you need to migrate, and how best to do it?

Calling  InterSystems.XEP.Event.Store(object[]) issues an unnecessary debug console line "Elapsed server write time:..." which is polluting the console window.
Traced it to a IRIS.xepSSNDFinish

Is there any way this can be disabled?

Thanks!

Hello,

Can anyone help on the below point? It will very helpful for me.

Copy exact same data from IRIS Instance 2019.1 to IRIS 2021.1 with the Identity column from the IRIS database.

Can an IRIS RESTful api implement mutual authentication?

If so, can you point me to the documentation.

Thanks

Does any one could tell me how can I access the target properties from inside SQL in DTL Subtransform? For example, if I use the following statement:

SELECT ID INTO :target.SetIDPID  FROM firstlook.person WHERE  FirstName = 'Paul' - as said in documentation :

  SELECT Name INTO :target.Name FROM MainFrame.EmployeeRecord WHERE SSN = :source.SSN AND City = :source.Home.City

I get an Error: ERROR <Ens>ErrException: <PROPERTY DOES NOT EXIST>

But if I pass the value for a variable "SetIDPID" I can use it in a set action without any problem: 

SELECT ID INTO :SetIDPID  FROM firstlook.

Hello everyone!

I am writing a SQL CALL (using JDBC) to a stored procedure that outputs a structured object (Oracle Object).

Since Caché 2017 the SQL engine has included new set of statistics. These record the number of times a query is executed and the time it takes to run.

This is a gold mine for anyone monitoring and trying to optimize the performance of an application that includes many SQL statements but it isn’t as easy to access the data as some people want.

This article and the associated sample code explains how to use this information and how to routinely extract a summary of daily statistics and keep a historic record of the SQL performance of your application.

What is recorded?

Function as a service (FaaS) is a category of cloud computing services that provides a platform allowing customers to develop, run, and manage application functionalities without the complexity of building and maintaining the infrastructure typically associated with developing and launching an app. Building an application following this model is one way of achieving a "serverless" architecture, and is typically used when building microservices applications.

Wikipedia

FaaS is an extremely popular approach to running workloads in the cloud, allowing developers to focus on writing code.

This article will show you how to deploy InterSystems IRIS methods in a FaaS way.
