Hey Community,

We want to hear from you! Give us your feedback on the past InterSystems Security programming contest! Please answer some questions to help us improve our contests.

Hello everybody,

after updating from 2018.2.1 to 2021.1 we observe a change in the behaviour of the Messagebank Enterprise Monitor.

In 2018.2.1, when clicking on a specific line inside the configured systems the system dashboard opened, giving insights about queue counts and error conditions.

Hey community, how are you all doing?

What if you could check if your REST application is susceptible to some vulnerability? What if you could check if any known attacks affect your application?

With these issues in mind, we've brought our sample application using the ZAP testing tool. A way to quickly, conveniently provide tools for developers to validate security issues in an accessible manner practically.

I need to store an equivalent of the SNN (Social Security number). I need it to be encrypted and I'll have to be able to search for it once stored.

For what I've seen my options are: 

- SHAHash from the %system.encryption library. Simple and easy to implement. My question is, might collisions be a problem? We are talking about a 10 millions entry.

- AES encryption. In this case I'd like to know if there is a standard way for key management in the InterSystems environment.

I can eventually get a certificate for this project to use other encryption function as well.

Open to suggestions.

Hi Dev Community,

I have a persistent Document class that has a FileName string property and another Question class that has an optional one-to-many relationship with Document.

I'm trying to add a SqlComputed property to the Question class (docFileName) where docFileName = Document.FileName if there is a related Document or an empty string if there isn't one. 

I'd prefer the property to be SqlComputed so that if Question.Document changes, Question.docFileName will automatically update.

Does anyone know the syntax for accessing the properties of a related object in the SqlComputeCode?

Thanks!

Hi contestants!

We've introduced a set of bonuses for the projects for the Interoperability Contest 2021!

Here are projects that scored it:

The InterSystems IRIS has a great audit system. It is responsible for auditing system events, but you can use it to audit your applications (great feature).

The audit system is based into event concept. The events can occur with IRIS or in an application. So, we have two type of events to the audit system:

1. System events: events occured into the InterSystems IRIS components (database, interoperability, analytics and core);

Want a commercial grade FHIR® Implementation included in your micro service ecosystem and barely have enough time to fill out your Health plan elections?

Here is a quick way to invite the InterSystems® FHIR®Accelerator Service to your Kubernetes Microservice party for immediate use. The solution uses Nginx proxy ninja moves to get the job done. Though rustic and bound to create some technical arguments, I am pretty happy with the results until this community tells me otherwise, so FHIR® away as they say but it would be great if you heard me out first.

Is there any way (on a Window machine) to rename an installed instance?  I installed my instance as 20201 and now I've upgraded in place to 2020.4 and I would like to change the instance name to be 20204, but I'm not sure how/where/or-even-if-possible to rename the instance.

Am I out of luck, or is this possible?

Thanks

I would like to demonstrate how you can create monitoring of Production with Node-RED, and get a dashboard like this.

Hi,

Is there way to set up an automated batch job in the Management Portal to execute an SQL query.  Also, how can the related view be exported.  I have executed the SQL queries and see the view and created files manually.   I could not find any related documentation on the batch processes, but I thought batch or automated jobs could be set up via the Management Portal.  Any information is appreciated...

Thanks

Welcome to day 3 of Virtual Summit 2021!  We have incredible content available to you this year and I'd just like to bring your attention to the 4(!) sessions that we have on Embedded Python.

Hey Developers,

When looking at system performance and capacity planning I need to know what processors a server is running.

In ^SystemPerformance Linux systems report Intel processors explicitly, for example:

processor	: 0
vendor_id	: GenuineIntel
cpu family	: 6
model		: 79
model name	: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2673 v4 @ 2.30GHz
stepping	: 1
microcode	: 0xffffffff
cpu MHz	: 2294.685

Its pretty obvious this is a Broadwell E5-2673 v4 processor, and I can get the specifications and enough details to look at the SPECint rating and other information, for example:

Intel reference

We are migrating servers

Trying to create IRIS ODBC connection in new window 10 machine, but getting an error "TCP connect() timed out." 

In old server windows server 2012 - IRIS ODBC connection was already existed, working fine. if I create new/test with IRIS connection is fine.

Only issue in new server (windows 10), I am not sure why I am getting error. Can any one help.

I added Firewall outbound port, still it is not working.

Hi,

Is there a way to filter in a routine for a type of filtering column in Excel.  I can apply exclusion logic, but wondered if there was some type of method that accomplished a type of filter.

Thanks

Looking at my old articles recently. I saw an undeservedly forgotten program that can significantly increase the security of your system by not allowing the user to use old passwords when changing.

To meet the requirements of section 8.2.5 PCI DSS "Prohibit the use of old passwords", a small application has been implemented that will be launched by the system when a user tries to change a password and check if it was used before.

You can install the program from the terminal and from the management portal interface

Hi all, 
I'm using a snippet I found from Scott Roth to extract, decode, and save a PDF from a HL7 message and save it to a specified file path, but I'm running issues with the following error:

My approach was to a create a utility function accessible from a DTL like this:

If a have a string " Happy new year   " and I want to trim (remove blank spaces from the begin and the end, not other places into the string), what is the object script function to get "Happy new year"?

Hi, Community!

Open Exchange (OEX) is getting more and more popular and more and more developers consider publishing their apps in the public package managerregistry.

This is really great!

So the topic of thoughtful naming convention is getting more important and even critical.  Let's discuss?

I recently published the "appmsw-docbook" module for deploying the solution not by individual programs, but by the entire database. This solution allows you to deploy a project without source codes.

Having received feedback, I decided to improve it significantly. Replaced zip archive with tgz, which will allow not using external system-dependent archivers.

InterSystems IRIS is a Data Platform with a lot of features. These features and relevant topics about IRIS is represented in the periodic table elements.

I would like to watch a webseminar about debug objectscript techniques into vscode to rest api, productions and embedded python, specially using docker instances and remote servers.

Developing the project zpm "install isc-apptools-lockdown" implemented the ability to set the security level not only to lockdown, but also to minimum and normal.

Increasing security settings

You can replace the shared password if the password of the predefined system users has been compromised

USER>do ##class(appmsw.security.lockdown).ChangePassword("NewPass231",##class(appmsw.security.lockdown).GetPreparedUsers())

Apply Security settings to "LockDown"

USER>do ##class(appmsw.security.lockdown).SetSecurityLevel("lockdown","NewPassword123")

or equivalent

Good evening Intersystems Community,

I want to participate in the Advent of Code 2020 and followed the installation instructions in "The Advent of Code 2020 contest ObjectScript template" (https://openexchange.intersystems.com/package/aoc2020-objectscript-temp…).

Unforunately I get "Error: Invalid Community Edition license, may have exceeded core limit." at the step "docker-compose build".

I think I already found a way to tell docker to use less cores (docker run --cpus 2), but I can't figure out how to integrate that into "docker-compose build".

I would really appreciate any advice, thanks!
