The XData (https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=GOBJ_XDATA) is a powerful feature to set documentation and metadata information for classes and methods. The %CSP.REST class uses XDATA to mapping REST calls (https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=GREST_csprest), so in this article you will see how to use XData into your apps as code, not only as documentation.

When you write XData comments/definitions, the IRIS store it into %Dictionary.ClassDefinition (for classes) %Dictionary.MethodDefinition (for methods).

Hi

Hi Community,

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

In this webinar, we’ll do a quick tour of the new LOAD DATA feature, also chime in on packaging global data or file data with ZPM, and run a data-generation script as part of a method in the zpm install. 

As always, our experts will answer the questions on how to develop, build, and deploy datasets using InterSystems IRIS.

Date & Time: Tuesday, December 28 – 10:00 AM EDT

Hi,

In a Business Operation i have the following code.

I need the identity of the latest row inserted in a table in MSSQL.

i Have the following code:

---------------------------------------------------------

set insertmaster= "INSERT INTO dbo.dataMasterArchive(deviceToPatientLogID) values (?)"

set tSC = ..Adapter.ExecuteUpdate(.nrows1,insertmaster,pRequest.deviceToPatientLogID)                                
$$$ThrowOnError(tSC)

set sql ="SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY()"
set tSC = ..Adapter.ExecuteQuery(.tResult,sql)
$$$ThrowOnError(tSC)

set maxID = tResult.Get(1)

------------------------------------------------

Hi

I'm using a class which extends %XML.Adaptor adaptor and I want to create an XML file with multiple namespaces, like the following:

<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
</soap>

However, I don't see how to do this with the code I have. So far, I have

Class GMMHTIE.Docman.Messages.Request.RequestWrapper Extends (%Persistent, %XML.Adaptor){ Parameter XMLNAME = "soap:Envelope";
 Parameter NAMESPACE = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
 Parameter XML

I need iterate multiple times the same ResultSet. How can I do a rewind on it?

let there be less <UNDEFINED> or <SUBSCRIPT> Errors in my life.

Hi all

We are looking into automating worklist report SQL queries that we run manually on InterSystems IRIS platform but we would like to have them run on a Java application.

This means we must have a way to get our java application to talk to IRIS in order for those queries to run. Please advise on how to go about this?

Currently IRIS only supports up to version 4.5 of .NET. Are there plans to support the latest versions, such as .NET 6 and also NET Core 3?

SAM only makes Management Portal connections to http.

Has anyone figured out how to get to the SMP through SAM when the instance server is setup for https:

Hi folks!

While browsing tables in Management Portal is there an easy way to open a related class (e.g. to see its documentation)?

There is a Documentation dropdown but the Class Documentation button is disabled.

Thanks!

Just wanted to give visibility to a place in GitHub where everybody can publish Enhancement Requests, Ideas and Innovations that would be great to have in our InterSystems Technology ecosystem.

If you want to add your enhancement request, or take a look and see if there is already there and vote for it, contribute, etc..., click on this link. That doesn't guarantee that Product Management decides to go on that direction, they have to balance many things to decide our products roadmap, but having the direct input from our Community is invaluable.

Come on! Go for it and make your suggestions!

What about having your IRIS REST APIs scanned every push you did and being reported on possible vulnerabilities? This is what I am going to show you in this article.

Recently, we had the Security Contest with amazing applications and examples showing how to improve security on your IRIS solutions. One of such examples was the zap-api-scan-sample, made by me and my colleague Henrique Dias. Our application shows how to use the OWASP ZAP API scanner to perform security tests on your REST APIs OpenAPI definitions generated by IRIS.

Now, we did an improvement on such example, using ZAP GitHub Action

Have you tried the InterSystems learning platform lab for IRIS IntegratedML? In that lab you can train and test a model on a readmission dataset and be able to predict when a patient will be readmitted or not, or calculate its probability of being readmitted.

You can try it without any installation on your system, all you have to do is start a virtual lab environment (Zeppelin) and play it around!

In this article we’ll use this lab to briefly introduce you to IntegratedML, presenting you the problem to be handled, how to use IntegratedML to create a readmission prediction model, as well as some

I installed a community version of Intersystems IRIS in a Large AWS EC2 instance to do some testing.  I installed SAM and when I try to "Add a new cluster" I receive the following:  "ERROR #5005: Cannot open file '/config/prometheus/isc_tmp_yml_file.yml'"

Dear Community Members,

Has someone built some kind of Adapter (or other related components) to interact with Couchbase?

Something sharable?

What connection method did you choose - for example REST API / .Net or Java SDK?

Thanks!

Hello all,

I'm "playing" a little bit with IRIS as document database, as it seems really simple to use.

So far, creating a database and inserting documents is fine. Creating a Property so it can be indexed seems very useful and it works well when this property is created at the very beginning. But here my "problem": whenever a new property is added, how can the values be recalculated and inserted, so indices can be correctly updated? 

So far, I've only found as a solution opening and saving the documents :'( This is ok for a POC, but what when millions of documents are stored?

Millions of professionals use a wonderful tool, spreadsheets, for engineering calculations and financial analysis. It attracts a user-friendly interface and clear data organization. Cell formulas provide rich opportunities for automating calculations. No programming is required. (For example, Microsoft Excel)

But in order to expand the scope of the tool, it is necessary to increase the dimension of the tables and the speed of calculations.It is necessary to create a single, common database for a group of users.Cell formulas should be able to do everything.

Hi folks!

I'm curious if it is possible to change the class method to another class?

I call a method of a system class  to generate another class. But there is a bug/feature in a library class, so I need to tweak a bit the generated method, e.g. add additional parameter and change the line to "if" the parameter.

I hope to do this programmatically after class generation and change the code in a way I like.

What are the options?

Hi there,

Does anyone have an example of the method used to run an SQL query and generate the view in a Mumps routine.   I have several SQL queries created from a vendor that need to be converted and the corresponding view referenced.  I cannot seem to find any examples in IDX routines or in the  IRIS/Cache documentation.  Any help is appreciated.

The 2021.2 release of the InterSystems IRIS Data Platform includes many exciting new features for fast, flexible and secure development of your mission-critical applications. Embedded Python definitely takes the limelight (and for good reason!), but in SQL we've also made a massive step forward towards a more adaptive engine that gathers detailed statistical information about your table data and exploits it to deliver the best query plans. In this brief series of articles, we'll take a closer at three elements that are new in 2021.2 and work together towards this goal, starting with Run Time Plan Choice.

It's hard to figure out the right order to talk about these (you can't imagine how often I've reshuffled them in writing this article!) because they fit together in such a nice way. As such, feel free to go on a limb and read these in random order .

This is the third article in our short series around innovations in IRIS SQL that deliver a more adaptive, high-performance experience for analysts and applications querying relational data on IRIS. It may be the last article in this series for 2021.2, but we have several more enhancements lined up in this area. In this article, we'll dig a little deeper into additional table statistics we're starting to gather in this release: Histograms
