The Zachman Framework™ is an ontology - a theory of the existence of a structured set of essential components of an object for which explicit expressions is necessary and perhaps even mandatory for creating, operating, and changing the object (the object being an Enterprise, a department, a value chain, a “sliver,” a solution, a project, an airplane, a building, a product, a profession or whatever or whatever).

Hello everybody

I'm trying to send a XML file in a form-data like this, but is not working. Can anyone help me with the code?

This is my code:

Set HttpRequest = ##class(%Net.HttpRequest).%New()
Set RootMIMEPart = ##class(%Net.MIMEPart).%New()
Set BinaryMIMEPart = ##class(%Net.MIMEPart).%New()

Set stream = ##class(%FileBinaryStream).%New()

Set stream.Filename = pRequest.file
Do stream.LinkToFile(pRequest.file)

Set BinaryMIMEPart.Body = stream

// I already used "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", "application/xml", "application/x-object" in Content-Type

Do BinaryMIMEPart.SetHeader("Con

I have a workstation with a CACHE instance up and running.

On that same workstation there is also an instance of IRIS (fresh install). I would like to migrate manually the CACHE database to IRIS (ideally, all globals, routines and classes).

What I tried is to copy C:\InterSystems\Cache\mgr\CACHE.DAT to C:\InterSystems\IRIS\mgr\IRIS.DAT (after shutting down both instances) but it does not work.

I got the following message :(112) The service for the IRIS instance did not start.

Is there a better way ? (eg: using Portal or some API from command line).
I was thinking about exporting all code f

Hi,

I've started active use ISC VS Code extensions about a half year ago, seem to be used to use, and started to enjoy them :)

We were happy enough not to use, while used Studio Source Control menu to run some internal code checkup procedures. Is there any functional equivalent for this in VS Code: can I add custom menu items that should be backed with ObjectScript code to be started on server?

In this article, we will run an InterSystems IRIS cluster using docker and Merge CPF files - a new feature allowing you to configure servers with ease.

On UNIX® and Linux, you can modify the default iris.cpf using a declarative CPF merge file. A merge file is a partial CPF that sets the desired values for any number of parameters upon instance startup. The CPF merge operation works only once for each instance.

Our cluster architecture is very simple, it would consist of one Node1 (master node) and two Data Nodes (check all available roles). Unfortunately, docker-compose cannot deploy to several servers (although it can deploy to remote hosts), so this is useful for local development of sharding-aware data models,  tests, and such. For a productive InterSystems IRIS Cluster deployment, you should use either ICM or IKO.

Good morning -

As we're starting to create more custom message classes to represent out JSON-based integrations, I was pondering how to implicitly grant SELECT privileges to a specific Security Role so they can utilize Message Viewer to search through the message history.

So if all of our custom JSON message classes are under OurParentPkg.Messages.REST.* (e.g., OurParentPkg.Messages.REST.AddPatientRequest and OurParentPkg.Messages.REST.AddPatientResponse), is there a method to ensure that our analysts can be granted the SELECT permission to anything created under OurParentPkg.Messages.REST w

Hello all,

I'm trying to setup the JDBC Gateway Server so customers can connect to IRIS remotely using JDBC and not ODBC. But I'm facing a problem connecting, as our system department tells me IRIS is using the loopback address (127.0.0.1) and that makes remote systems cannot connect to port 53773 (the default port for that).

So, I would like to change this 127.0.0.1 host for the hostname but I cannot see where to do it:

Anyone with experience here to help me? :-)

Thanks a lot

I have created FHIR server and now, I want to make an SDA file from the HL7 ADT message, and then make FHIR from SDA.

I have an issue where a Windows Reserved word, in my case CON, is causing an error when used as part of a JSON Get operation.  In this case CON is the user identifier (the full identifier is CON.SURNAME) of a person and I am trying to read the employee record using a web service provided by the payroll system.

Is there a way I can get around this, some sort of encoding that would enable the inclusion of this identifier.  I can't just change the identifier has it is used extensively across systems.

October 26, 2021 – Alert: Missing Locks after ECP Database Server Restart or Failover

InterSystems has corrected a defect that can violate application locking guarantees in a distributed cache cluster (ECP configuration), which can lead to application integrity issues. This defect affects:

• All major releases and maintenance versions of InterSystems IRIS and InterSystems IRIS for Health, starting with 2020.1.0

The defect can only occur when an application server successfully performs ECP recovery after a restart or failover of the data server, as follows:

• If processes running on the applicat

Hey community, how are you doing?

How do you exercise your creativity? How do you test new ideas?

Over the years I have always thought about creating new things, modifying existing ones, experimenting, testing, breaking (it always happens), building again, starting over.

The contests promoted by InterSystems are an excellent source of motivation, obviously, the prizes bring a lot of attention and this you cannot deny. But not just prizes/rewards, they also give us a creative challenge, an opportunity to create, reimagine, test, experiment. And the beauty of it all is that you are free to do

Hey Community,

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

👉 Quick survey: InterSystems Interoperability Contest Survey

InterSystems Global Summit (or Virtual Summit this year) is traditionally a time of big announcements, and I'm sure our friends from InterSystems have quite a lot of new and exciting things to share with us this year. Here at Banksia Global, we have a big announcement for you as well. Please meet our new website built to make IRIS-based software distribution a breeze: ZpmHub.com!

Quite a complex scenario we are trying to solve but should be able to understand.

We're developing a task executer that runs on a server with a certain timezone.

The tasks run every day at a defined time, but in different timezones.

We're saving in database at what time we want to execute the task, and in what timezone (don't go to the save in UTC pitfall, as with DST it will be at different times)

What I want to do if when opening a task from the database, convert 02:00 Europe/Madrid, either to UTC or to local (server) time.

I've found the class HS.Timezone.Server.Service but doesn't sol

Hey Developers,

Hello everyone,

I would like to know what is the best terminal emulator in your opinion? I am using MobaXTerm, but  i'm having some difficulties with the charset configuration. 

Best Regards.

Hello everyone!

Me and @Henrique.GonçalvesDias proposed a new way to visualize messages in IRIS Interoperability in a recent update of MessageViewer. In such an update, we tried to give users a visualization based on a UML sequence diagram. You could get more information on the previous article.

In order to get all the hard geometry calculations needed to draw such a diagram done, we used the amazing mermaid JS open source library. And what I’d like to share with you in this article, is how to use this library. I’ll focus just on the sequence diagram, but be aware that such a library lets yo

Interoperability Read Only access

In companies, most of the time, we have test, stage and production environments.

It is very common that we, the developers, do not have the right to modify or touch the production directly because all the modifications must be traced in a versioning tool and tested before a production release.

However, a read access to the production (especially to the traces) can allow us to better understand a possible bug.

That's why I propose this ZPM module that creates a new role in IRIS that allows access to the productions and this only in read-only with access to the visual traces.

In the last years the data architecture and platforms focused into Big Data repositories and how toprocess it to deliver business value. From this effort many technologies were created to process tera and petabytes of data, see:

The fundamental piece to the Big Data technologies is HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System). It is a distributed file system to store tera or petabytes of data into arrays of storages, memory and CPU working together. In addition of the Hadoop we have other components, see:

In a Big Data project the first step is create the data ingestion, integration, transforma

Hi Community,

The InterSystems IRIS has a good connector to do Hadoop using Spark. But the market offers other excellent alternative to Big Data Hadoop access, the Apache Hive. See the differences:

I created a PEX interoperability service to allows you use Apache Hive inside your InterSystems IRIS apps. To try it follow these steps:

1. Do a git clone to the iris-hive-adapter project:

$ git clone https://github.com/yurimarx/iris-hive-adapter.git

2. Open the terminal in this directory and run:

$ docker-compose build
