#InterSystems IRIS

I'm trying to set up VS Code for ObjectScript using the instructions found here I've got both Cache 2018.1.2.309.0 and IRIS 2020.1.0.215.0. When I try to connect to either one of them the connection fails, and I get a notification in the bottom right corner that says "Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0". I've checked the JSON settings file that VS Code uses, and they're fine and formatted properly. All of the settings I've entered are correct. I suspect that there's a response coming back from the server that VS Code is expecting to be JSON, but isn't.

At the heart of IRIS and Cache is a very interesting database architecture that we, at M/Gateway Developments, refer to as "Global Storage".  If you ever wanted to know more about the fundamentals and capabilities of this underlying database, you might want to read a major analysis we've put together:

https://github.com/robtweed/global_storage

Amongst other things you'll discover that:

- Global Storage provides the underpinnings of a full multi-model database, something we refer to as "Universal NoSQL", though, as you already know from IRIS and Cache, it also supports relational too.

Hello,

I was wondering if InterSystems has support for the following standards built into IRIS or Health Connect / Ensemble:

1.        Healthcare FHIR(Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resource) Protocol

2.        Enterprise Resource Planning OAGIS (Open Applications Group Integration Specification) Protocol / Supply Chain Management GS1-EPCIS (Electronic Product Code Information Services)

3.        Education, Certification, Credentials FERPA CEDS (Common Education Data Standards) Protocol

4.

What is Data Fabric?

“It is a set of hardware infrastructure, software, tools and resources to implement, administer, manage and execute data operations in the company, including, acquisition, transformation, storage, distribution, integration, replication, availability, security, protection , disaster recovery, presentation, analysis, preservation, retention, backup, recovery, archiving, recall, deletion, monitoring and capacity planning, across all data storage platforms and enabling application use to meet the company's data needs company". 

I am pleased to announce the availability of InterSystems Container Registry. This provides a new distribution channel for customers to access container-based releases and previews. All Community Edition images are available in a public repository with no login required. All full released images (IRIS, IRIS for Health, Health Connect, System Alerting and Monitoring, InterSystems Cloud Manager) and utility images (such as arbiter, Web Gateway, and PasswordHash) require a login token, generated from your WRC account credentials.

Hello everyone,

I have a question, I am trying to use xecute command, but something wrong happen when i was using the command, and i don't know why hahahaha.
I created a file .mac with this code:

label(test) public{
       set routine="variable"
       set call="write routine,!"
       xecute call
       quit
}

But when i run the command, show me this message error:

<UNDEFINED>label+3^tstFJR3 *routine

After that i changed the code to:

label(test)
      set routine="variable"
      set call="write routine,!"
      xecute call
      quit

Java Business Host is now retired

With the release of PEX in InterSystems IRIS 2020.1 and InterSystems IRIS for Health 2020.1, customers have a better way to build Java into productions than the Java Business Host. PEX provides a complete set of APIs for building interoperability components and is available in both Java and .NET.

The Java Business Host has been removed from InterSystems IRIS and InterSystems IRIS for Health as of their 2020.4 releases.  Customers using the Java Business Host are encouraged to migrate to PEX.

Hey Developers,

Enjoy watching this new video on InterSystems Developers YouTube:

⏯ Demo of REST APIs defined in Swagger, built with InterSystems IRIS interfacing with a SQL backend

Let's imagine if you would like to write some real web application, for instance, some simple clone of medium.com. Such sort of application can be written using any different language on the backend side, or with any framework on the frontend side. So many ways to do the same application, and you can look at this project. Which offers a bunch of frontends and backends realizations for exactly the same application. And you can easily mix them, any chosen frontend should work with any backend.

Let me introduce the same application realization for InterSystems IRIS on a backend side.

Hello there developers,

As I started to install the IRIS for community editing I came across this interface. (Image attached below)

Is there a major difference in these 2 types of installations and is there a place where I can refer with regard to this in detail please? 

Please let me know. 

Thank you in advance. 

Hello Community,

On the installation process of the IRIS Community Edition I came across an interface as below (image attached.)

I would like to know what it means, what is the use of it, what it is and where can i know more on this? 

I tried the documentation page but was not successful in finding anything regarding it. 

I would like to know more on it please. 

Hoping to hear soon. 

Regards. 

We use the Category drop-down for other IT analysts to quickly see interfaces related to their application/group.  This drop0down fails to work (IDs get out of sync with Config Item IDs) if the Production is compiled.    There is no fix available (development was started, but stopped in favor of other items).

Has anyone else run into this issue?  Any custom work-arounds?

Example:

Thanks.

Hi Team,

Can you please provider some example how to Create ACK/NACK for HL7 ORU ?

Thanks,

Hi Community,

We're pleased to invite you to the upcoming webinar in Spanish called "Learning ObjectScript from scratch"!

Date & Time: May 25, 4:00 PM (CEST)

Speaker: @David Reche, Manager of the Dev Community in Spanish

The webinar is aimed at:

Images for other languages are often build using multistage build process.

What about InterSystems IRIS?

Consider this Dockerfile:

FROM irishealth-community:2020.4.0.524.0 AS builder

# Load code into USER and compile
# Adjust settings, etc.

FROM irishealth-community:2020.4.0.524.0

# replace in standard kit with what we modified in first stage

COPY --from=builder /usr/irissys/iris.cpf /usr/irissys/.
COPY --from=builder /usr/irissys/mgr/IRIS.DAT /usr/irissys/mgr/.
COPY --from=builder /usr/irissys/mgr/user/IRIS.DAT /usr/irissys/mgr/user/.

The advantage of this approach is the image size.
The disadvantage is that on a final stage developer must know/remember all the modified places in the builder image.
But otherwise is this approach OK for InterSystems IRIS?
Have anyone tried to build IRIS images this way?

In this article we are going to show the results of the comparision between IRIS and Postgress when handling Astronomy data.

Introduction

Since the earliest days of human civilization we have been fascinated by the sky at night. There are so many stars! Everybody has dreamed about them and fantasized about life in other planets.

Astronomers have been identifying and classifying stars since many centuries ago. There are star catalogues compiled in Mesopotamia and Egypt from the 2nd millennium BC [1]. In modern times there have been two main catalogues: Hipparcos [2] and Gaia [3].

If I have an online backup running and a snapshot backup is run whereby a freeze/thaw is done, will the online backup be affected ?

Hi developers!

I have an existing CSP app and I want to add a role to it. How can I make it programmatically?

We are running a restore of a mirrored database on the secondary mirror member via the DBREST restore procedure.

Since it is run from an interactive session, if the session times out or the vpn is severed, the restore is affected..... is there a way to run the restore in a background process instead ?

Hello,

I am trying to find out if it is possible to decode the Azure access token in IRIS. Has anyone ever tried this before? I need to decode the token to extract the "Scope" details in order to verify the scope to make sure client is permitted to do the request they have done.

If you could point me to any information, that'd be great. 

Thank you.

Hey developers,

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

👉 Quick survey: InterSystems Developer Tools Contest Survey

Hey community,

The InterSystems Developer Tools contest is over. Thank you all for participating in our exciting coding marathon!

And now it's time to announce the winners! 

A storm of applause goes to these developers and their applications:

As per the documentation, this is supposed to delete the contents of the lookup table, but it is deleting the table as well.

https://docs.intersystems.com/latest/csp/documatic/%25CSP.Documatic.cls…

Delete the contents of the lookup table pTable.

Purpose: I need to use a temporary Data lookup table within a DTL for repetition count of a key field. 

Steps:

Initialize - s tmpTable = ##class(Ens.Util.LookupTable).%New()

Lookup & add new entries - 

..Lookup("myTempTable",sThisPhone)

In this 3-part series of articles, is shown how you can use IAM to simply add security, according to OAuth 2.0 standards, to a previously unauthenticated service deployed in IRIS.

In the first part, was provided some OAuth 2.0 background together with some IRIS and IAM initial definitions and configurations in order to facilitate the understanding of the whole process of securing your services.

Needing to know how to define a property that can either be sent in my response as
