#InterSystems IRIS

Hi Community,

New video is already on InterSystems Developers YouTube:

⏯ Fast & Efficient Provisioning & Testing with InterSystems Cloud Manager

We have in our company a task that use many times a job command, and we receive this message "<LICENSE ALLOCATION EXCEEDED>". I thought that a new license is consumed only when we acess with another IP address the database.

Can anyone explain this to me?

Have you ever seen those vaccum compressed towels, that look like a pill and after you add water became a towel?

That's our challenge for today. As usual shortest solution wins.

Task

You will receive an integer number and you will return a new number where each digit is repeated a number of times equals to its value.

Input:

42

Output:

444422

Note:

• Input is only made of digits [0-9]
• Zero returns an empty string
• Use this code to check the result length
• You also can use this test case here

Hi,

I am using container to run IRIS. In my file service I defined following path:

How can I copy file to container location?

Thanks

Introduction
Several resources tell us how to run IRIS in a Kubernetes cluster, such as Deploying an InterSystems IRIS Solution on EKS using GitHub Actions and Deploying InterSystems IRIS solution on GKE Using GitHub Actions. These methods work but they require that you create Kubernetes manifests and Helm charts, which might be rather time-consuming.
To simplify IRIS deployment, InterSystems developed an amazing tool called InterSystems Kubernetes Operator (IKO). A number of official resources explain IKO usage in details, such as  New Video: Intersystems IRIS Kubernetes Operator and InterSystems Kubernetes Operator.

In this article, we’ll look at one of the ways to monitor the InterSystems IRIS data platform (IRIS) deployed in the Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). The GKE integrates easily with Cloud Monitoring, simplifying our task. As a bonus, the article shows how to display metrics from Cloud Monitoring in Grafana. 

Note that the Google Cloud Platform used in this article is not free (price list), but you can leverage a free tier. This article assumes that you already have a project in the Google Cloud Platform (referred to as <your_project_id>) and have permission to use it. 

Hi All,

I have created a REST class in which have the Parameter HandleCorsRequest = 1;

I can able to access the API using Postman, but not with my web application. It throws the below error.

Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'http://localhost:52773/IrisVSCode/app/test' from origin 'null' has been blocked by CORS policy: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

Please note that I have tried all option which are mentioned on following URL:

Hello All,

InterSystems Certification has redesigned their IRIS Integration certification exam, and we again need input from our community to help validate the topics. Here's your chance to have your say in the knowledge, skills, and abilities that a certified InterSystems IRIS Integration Specialist should possess. And, yes, we'd like to hear from you Ensemble users as well!

Hi developers, 

We've incorporated VS Code's support for multiple concurrent debug sessions and consoles into the latest release of Serenji. 

So if you're working with processes that relate or are dependent on each other, you can now debug them together. Just launch a second Serenji debug session (F5) whilst the first one is still active. 

This short video below shows how it works. We hope you find this feature useful!

Hello everyone, 

InterSystems Certification has redesigned their IRIS System Administration certification exam, and we again need input from our community to help validate the topics. Here's your chance to have your say in what topics are covered on the InterSystems IRIS System Administration Specialist exam! And, yes, we'd like to hear from you Caché admins too!

The most recent release of Serenji features our innovative gj::locate technology. It was a standalone tool we originally created for a Developer Community contest earlier this year, but we've incorporated it into our debugger after some great feedback from developers. 

It works by navigating you directly to the source of your server-side errors in just a couple of clicks - enabling you to quickly fix errors without the need to count tedious lines of code.

Hi.

What is the best/right way to unlock the object in ObjectScript after the lock was acquired by %OpenId class method? Setting the opened object to null (Set object="") doesn't release the lock.

Regards,

Matjaž

I have a requirement which comes down to evaluating two fields, if they are both empty then provide a default value.

If one is empty but the other has a value, then set the empty one to the field with a value.

The screenshots are not the actual fields, I was just using the dtl and fields to prove out the solution.

When I saved and compiled in the Management Portal I got an error, but it still compiled.

I then went to studio and opened the dtl, using view-->other code then compiled and did not get the error.

Wondering if this is a true error or just an anomaly?

Hi, 

I'm trying to connect to IRIS with .NET 4.5 and I see is quite different from Cache Method.

I have a connection and I can invoke a Method but I can't get %Stream.GlobalCharacter value as Class property and I can't use it in a ByRef parameter. With Cache we had the Intersystems.Data.CacheTypes namespace to use this "special" types. 

Is there any documentation to use the %Stream.GlobalCharacter as class property and ByRef Param?

Thanks!

Hello,

I'm experiencing a recurrent problem that I haven't found the way to solve, so I'm coming here with the hope somebody can give me a new approach.

To make it short: we are creating categories on-demand to be able to place the maximum numbers of workers in memory, avoiding the limits established by system categories. But from time to time, one of this creation fails and system is no able to start the queue. The error we are getting is:

ERREUR #7823: Invalid work queue manager category supplied 'User.65733'.1<INVALID OREF> 

The code is very simple:

s ^%SYS("WQM","MaxActiveWorkers","User.

Hi developers, 

Serenji 3.2.0, the latest version from George James Software, was released last week and our current users have been enjoying trying out the new features (which you can find more about here). 

If you're thinking about trying Serenji for the first time, we've made it easier to get set up by adding a walkthrough on the VS Code Welcome page. It takes you through: 

• Setting up the server components.
• Selecting a server namespace.
• Saving and extending your workspace.
• Requesting a debug license (don't forget we offer a free 30 day trial!) 

We've also added prompts and guidance throughout VS Code to open and add Serenji folders to your workspace and when going to run and debug code. 

This is just one of the ways we've enhanced the Serenji debugger to make straightforward and easy to use - so all you need to do is focus on your code. 

I want to restore to a certain point in time through the Journal log, and I can't find relevant information in the help documentation.  Can someone help me?   

very thankful

Hi!

We're doing a small data integration project at our university and I've run into a problem.

I'm trying to make a counter that records the amount of messages (a simple .txt file transfer) that pass through a process and dumps that amount into a text file (preferably with a timestamp) every 10 minutes or so.

What I've gathered it's possible to do it via SQL query but linking that query into a process is something I haven't found any info on.

Are there any semi-beginner friendly ways to do this?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Team,

I want to consume(call) third-party API by passing JSON as a request from Iris.

is there a command line  function I can use to export the user file.  The names off all the  user in Health Share or Health Connect.  Export it into some type of flat file?

I'm trying to install IRIS 2021.1 in the Ubuntu 18.04 but all the time I got the message below:

Starting installation
Starting up InterSystems IRIS for loading...
Invalid ownership for ./irisdb
InterSystems IRIS is already up!
Status code is 1
InterSystems IRIS failed to start.
Check /mnt/WinData/InterSystemsLinux/mgr/messages.log for more details.

Has anyone had the same problem?

I tried to install with root as well but the problem persist.

Thank you all.

Benjamin De Boe wrote this great article about Universal Cached Queries, but what the heck is a Universal Cached Query (UCQ) and why should I care about it if I am writing good old embedded SQL?  In Caché and Ensemble, Cached Queries would be generated to resolve xDBC and Dynamic SQL.  Now in InterSystems IRIS embedded SQL has been updated to use Cached Queries, hence the Universal added to the name.  Now any SQL executed on IRIS will be done so from a UCQ class.

Why did InterSystems do this?  Good Question!  The big win here is flexibility in a live environment.

Hello,

We upgrade from CACHE 2016 to IRIS 2021 and when we try to start a production gives the error behind.

I think the error could be that the Ens.Director is deprecated on IRIS 2021, is this possible?

The latest release of Serenji by George James Software introduces zero configuration debugging, so it's ready to go in just one click - no matter where you are or what you're doing, your on-the-spot debugger is ready to go. 

We have introduced a host of new features to enhance the debugging experience so you can focus on identifying and fixing errors, without losing focus by spending time setting up a launch configuration. 

Check out the new features in our release notes. 

If you've already started using Serenji 3.2.0 let us know how you're getting on! 

When overwriting the Read method (that has a %CacheString return type) on a new class that inherits %Stream.FileCharacter class, returns an error about incorrect return type, must be Binary, even if it matched the real signature.

Looking at the compile global information we can see:

^oddCOM("%Stream.FileBinary","m","Read",42)="%Library.Binary"

After further investigation we realise that there is a generator method looking at the OdbcType class definition.

Setting LONGVARCHAR results in:

^oddCOM("User.CStream","m","Read",42)="%Library.String"

We found out recently that when compiling an objectscript class that has a java projection, using the -d flag, it ignores it for the projection part:

After talking with intersystems luckily the've provided a solution that will be included in the next release:
