#InterSystems IRIS

According to the WHO, The top global causes of death, in order of total number of lives lost, are associated with three broad topics (source: https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/the-top-10-causes-of-death):

1. Cardiovascular (ischaemic heart disease, stroke),
2. Respiratory (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lower respiratory infections) and
3. Neonatal conditions – which include birth asphyxia and birth trauma, neonatal sepsis and infections, and preterm birth complications.

I created an application that's provides real data (without personal data) for some of these top 10

I'd like to share an example on how the new Embedded Python feature in IRIS helped me in my daily routines.

While I’m participating in the iris-kaggle-socrata-generator project with Henrique Dias, I got to unzip datasets from Kaggle in order to import them.

Such a task was easily achieved by using the zipfile lib in Python (this code was copied from this stackoverflow):

Method UnZip(pZipFileName As %String, pExtractToDir As %String) As %DynamicArray [ Language = python ]
{
    import zipfile
    import iris
    with zipfile.ZipFile(pZipFileName, 'r') as zip_ref:

I'm happy to share with the community a web server log dataset from our longtime customer, an operating company.

Their webserver operates on Apache webserver and contains data which can be useful to analyse a load and search engines activity.

After installing the project, you will get the data for a few months that can show a typical load and activity of clients, robots and also you can see how it depends on day of week, holidays and time of a day.

The Cube is also included in package.

So you can use my previous project (Promjet-Stats) and see dataset in dashboards.

To make that you shoud install

A full cycle project, from initial data initialization, daily update products from the official website, a service for sending a course on request and receiving a schedule for any period.

After installing the project, we will get a table of ruble exchange rates against the main currencies of the world established by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation for 2016-2021. Launching the product service with default settings will allow you to receive daily new exchange rates for the current day. If necessary, you can load the missing data with the product service by changing the parameter CountD

II try to explore the new SQL LOAD DATA  feature in SQL comparing it to SQL INSERT

I'm stuck at this point:  INSERT INTO <table> (columns...) VALUES  (.....)
allows having not just simple column references but also ALL Standard SQL FUNCTIONS (at least)
example:  

INSERT INTO Test (ShortName,DOB)VALUES  (SUBSTRING(Name,1,4),TO_DATE(displayDate,'MM-DD_YYY')) 

This works perfectly. 
BUT the same VALUE clause applied to LOAD DATA  fails in various ways:

LOAD DATA FROM FILE '/irisrun/repo/LoadSQL.txt'
INTO Test (ShortName)  VALUES (SUBSTRING(Name,3,4))
USING {"from":{"file":{"header":"1"}}}

Hi community,

Prediction is a critical to the Maternal healthcare. The Health Dataset Application (https://openexchange.intersystems.com/package/Health-Dataset) has 10 real health datasets to predict the most important diseases and health problems, including Maternal Risk.

This article detail the steps to predict Maternal Risk using the InterSystems IRIS IntegratedML. This is a technology of InterSystems to do predictions using SQL Commnands! Great!

Follow these steps:

1. Clone/git pull the repo into any local directory

$ git clone https://github.com/yurimarx/predict-maternal-risk.git

2. Open

Hello. I'm having problems migrating a java application that is running with cache 2018 to Iris
The application uses json generated by the cache to receive it as a string in java.

Basically an instance of the "%ZEN.proxyObject" class
On Iris I've been trying to convert this '%ZEN.proxyObject Object to an instance of the %GlobalBinaryStream class and I need to get it via reference.
But I haven't had success yet. I Just found example with primitive dataTypes via reference and I need a Streams.
Has anyone done something like that?
This is my cache class example:

ClassMethod Login(ByRef streamReturn As %

Hi Everyone,

Has anyone tried to write down a function in a routine that list all of possible function inside the routine? I can only think of iterating through the routine line one by one and differentiate between function and function definition. Is there any existing function that can be utilised? I think it should work similar to how

do function^routineName 

works. I could not find the source for how "do" works, but I believe do will look at the list of function in the routine, and if it finds it, it will call the function, but if it does not find it, it will give an error?

Can someone

If you develop in IRIS you are confronted with two major phenomena:

• an incredibly fast and excellent designed data storage engine
• a scripting language to work on this storage engine, actually named ObjectScript 

Hello community,

I'm trying to validate a HS.FHIRServer.Interop.Request received from an HS.FHIRServer.Interop.Service, which looks more or less like this example

It is quite intuitive to gain access to basic properties like

$$$TRACE("Request Method: " _ pRequest.Request.RequestMethod)

But when I try to get access to the AdditionalInfoItems (especially the 'ClientAddr' element) simplicity is over.

As $$$TRACE("Request contains " _ pRequest.Request.AdditionalInfo.Count() _ " Info items.") results in printout of a correct number of elements, a for loop

for tCount=1:1:pRequest.Request.AdditionalInf

Hi, everyone!

I want to share a personal project that started with a simple request at work: 

Is it's possible to know how many Caché licenses we are using? 

Reading other articles here in the community, I found this excellent article by  David Loveluck 

APM - Using the Caché History Monitor
https://community.intersystems.com/post/apm-using-cach%C3%A9-history-monitor

So, using David's article, I started using Caché History Monitor and to show all that information. 

When facing the question: Which cool tech should I use? 

My decision was CSP, simple and powerful, so the customer that I'm working for

I have csv date file with date values like this "4/10/2021" for April 10, 2021. I defined a table with this property: Property TranDate As %Library.Date.

I capture error

[SQLCODE: <-104>:<Field validation failed in INSERT, or value failed to convert in DisplayToLogical or OdbcToLogical>] [Location: <ServerLoop>] [%msg: <Field 'dc_data_finance.transact.TranDate' (value '4/10/2021') failed validation Field ...

I do not really want to change TranDate to %String. How can I import "4/10/2021" into %Date property?

Hi folks!

Sometimes we need the docker image of the InterSystems IRIS solution we build to be published on some docker registry. The cases could be:

1. Deploy it then in Kubernetes cluster
2. Let your pal run the image of your public repo without building it locally.

You can push the image to Docker Hub Registry or Github Registry.

In this very short article, I provide a way how to do it automatically on every push to your GitHub repository.

Hi Community,

In a hard work of data curation and data quality, the Health Dataset application deploy to you the above datasets.

These datasets can be used in your ML applications/models, AutoML and analytics projects. See more details here:

Installation

1. Clone/git pull the repo into any local directory

$ git clone https://github.com/yurimarx/automl-heart.git

2. Open a Docker terminal in this directory and run:

$ docker-compose build

3. Run the IRIS container:

$ docker-compose up -d

4. Do a Select to the HeartDisease dataset:

SELECT 
age, bp, chestPainType, cholesterol, ekgResults,

Hello developers, I'm a newbie to Intersystems technologies and I started to work with Caché and Ensemble, and to be more specific I'm working with systems integration. In a scenario where I need to develop new software from scratch, would it be better to develop this new software using REST APIs? Does anyone have any recommendations about courses?

I read under Topics and Rules of InterSystems Datasets Contest:

• Class naming convention. Start the class names with: dc.data.your_name.class. E.g. if there is a dataset on trading data the class names could be: dc.data.finance.transaction, dc.data.finance.instrument.

I created a class “dc.data.finance.transaction”.I expected that it would not compile, because I remembered “Date” was a reserved word in SQL, and one of its properties was named “Date.”  To my surprise, the class compiled successfully.

I have a csv file with 13 columns.

The header row is:

"Date","Check","Merchant","Category","SubCategory","Memo","Credit","Debit","Bill Pay","Debit Card","Account","Balance","Status"

The first data row is:

"","","","","","","","","","","Cash","56",""

I have created a SQL table to LOAD DATA into. When I ran

LOAD DATA FROM FILE '/irisrun/repo/data/finance-transactions-08-Jan-2022_08-25.csv' into dc_data_finance.transact

I got Cash into “Account” property (correct) and I saw 56 in “Status” property. I want to skip the “Balance” column. I updated my LOAD DATA statement to:

LOAD DATA FROM FILE

I use Microsoft Query via Excel to query an Intersystems database. 

Since upgrading from CACHE to Intersystems, lots of reports fail to refresh twice - by which I mean I can open the report (which may have several separate queries) and query the database once, and then it will refuse to reconnect.

I get:
[IRIS ODBC][State : S1000][Native Code 417] .... Access denied

If I then close and reopen excel, I can run the query again.

If I test the odbc connection between refresh attempts, the connection is successful.

To make matters more confusing, this happens on almost all devices, but not a few high

Is there some generic way to output a %SQL.StatementResult to CSV?

Hello Everyone,

In October 2021 we asked for input from the IRIS community regarding exam topics for our InterSystems IRIS System Administration exam. We will close the window for providing feedback on the exam topics on Wednesday, January 12, 2022. Thus, if you would like to have your say in what topics are covered on the exam, this is your last chance!

Extra perk for US-based, non-InterSystems employees: To show our appreciation for helping us validate our exam design, we will offer the first 20 volunteers that complete the survey a $50 gift card. The gift card is a Tango Card that can be

Hi Developers

As you know it's very easy to publish a package to the Developers Community registry. 

But how to test it before publishing?  How to be sure that everything you introduced into module.xml is installed properly?

See the step-by-step instruction below!

For those of you who might be new to IRIS, and even those who have used Cache or IRIS for some time but want to explore beyond its usually-assumed boundaries and practices, you might want to dive into this detailed exploration of the database engine that is at its heart, and discover just what you can really do with it, going way beyond what InterSystems have done with it for you. 

You'll discover that it's actually a hugely powerful yet incredibly simple storage engine that allows you to model any kind of database you wish, once you understand and master its simple, basic principles.

We’ve already considered how to run an IRIS-based application in GCP Kubernetes in Deploying InterSystems IRIS Solution into GCP Kubernetes Cluster GKE Using CircleCI. Additionally, we’ve seen how to run an IRIS-based application in AWS Kubernetes in Deploying a Simple IRIS-Based Web Application Using Amazon EKS. Now, let’s look at how to deploy an application to the Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).

What is the correct data type for decimal numbers precision 5?

I tried %Numeric with Scale 5, but not worked, see:

The "Download Caché Evaluation" at the top of this forum takes the user to a page that only allows her to download versions of IRIS. What am I missing here? Does IRIS encompass Caché? I've wandered around both on the main website and in the Developer Community site looking for a way to only get Caché... Very frustrating.

I appreciate any help you all can provide. Thanks!

Is it possible to call java programs inside SQL statements, like the new LOAD Data, or is this just internal?

Hi Team,

I want to generate HL7 based on passing the HL7 version in InterSystems IRIS.
If there is any possibility to implement in InterSystems IRIS or not?
If yes, then give a solution regarding for same.

Hi Devs!

Recently, I needed to create templates for newsletters.
I couldn't find any tools, so I decided to use the CSP (Caché Server Pages) to build the templates.

Let's figure out how to make a newsletter similar to Weekly OEX Digest.

Weekly OEX Digest

There are strict requirements for HTML email messages.
Basic requirements:

1. The page should be static;
2. You have to use inline styles for mailer compatibility (so much code);
3. Use custom fonts, some images, etc., is not allowed

CSP is well suited for this task because it allows you to do the complete generation on the server-side and produce a
