Hi Developers,

You asked for it – we did it!

We are introducing a new voting engine and algorithm to InterSytems Contests which you can try with the current contest – starting next Monday!

Hello,

We are working with a vendor who only accepts JSON as payload. We are currently still on Cache/HealthShare, not IRIS. Since we have to send Continuity of Care Documents, this raises issues with Long Strings (some CCDs can be quite large and in addition to that, they have to be b64-encoded which increases their size even more).

My question is: if we were to go on IRIS and use %JSON.Adapter, storing the encoded Stream in an object's Stream property, would calling %JSONExport() on this object produce the desired JSON? Or would we have to call %JSONExportToStream()?

We need the answer in

Hello community,

I need to know what permissions or resources, apart from read for the tables, a user would need to view the catalog via ODBC? The ODBC user can run queries sucessfully but cannot get the catalog from the DB via ODBC. Whereas a a user with %All can fetch the catalog.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Juergen

Hello,

I'm testing IRIS 2020.4 Preview with preview key.

I've access to the management portal but I can't connect with Studio.

This is my docker-command : docker run --name my-iris --detach --publish 9091:51773 --publish 9092:52773 --volume C:\Docker\iris_external:/external –-volume C:\Docker\iris_durable:/durable –-env ISC_DATA_DIRECTORY=/durable/irissys containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/iris:2020.4.0.524.0 --key /external/iris.key --password-file /external/password.txt

I notice that Caché Direct is disabled by the license.

Can someone help me out ?

Is IRIS DTL, Adapter, Production or ObjectScript class have a function to transform an arbitrary XML to JSON?

Hey Developers,

Please welcome the new video by @sween on InterSystems Developers YouTube:

QEWD is assumed by most people to only integrate with IRIS (or Cache) via a connection through IRIS's high-performance C interface.  This requires QEWD (and its Node.js environment) to be installed and configured on the same machine as IRIS.

I'm frequently asked if QEWD can run on a separate server (or servers), and access IRIS (or Cache) over a network connection.  The answer is yes it can, but the information on how to set it up in this way has been admittedly a bit tricky to discover.

So I've now rectified that, and pulled together all the information you need into one place, if you want to

Hi-

I have a need to store a password in an object property of a User object.   

What would be best practice for data type assigned to the "Password" property and securing that password against prying eyes, both just browsing the global as well as via SQL?  Better yet, how can I prevent a specific property from being projected to SQL?

Thanks

Hi Community!

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

On this webinar, we’ll demo the iris-analytics-template and answer the questions on how to develop, build, and deploy Analytics applications using InterSystems IRIS.

Date & Time: Monday, December 7 — 12:00 PM EDT

Speakers:  
🗣 @Carmen Logue, InterSystems Product Manager - Analytics and AI

Hi, we suddenly noticed that one of the edge storage increased by 30% and it was due to ERROR globals which was throwing repeated error for 7 days and it consumed 35GB space. Is there a way to log the storage of edge production on daily basis and compare the increase in storage with previous day and if increase is 5% more than trigger an email to system admit to look why the storage increased suddenly. 

Is it possible see the execution plan of a SQL sentence in IRIS?

Like this:

explain plan for
select  e.ename,r.rname
from    employees  e
join    roles       r on (r.id = e.role_id)
join    departments d on (d.id = e.dept_id)
where   e.staffno <= 10
and     d.dname in ('Department Name 1','Department Name 2');

That returns this:

If you are looking for a slick way to integrate your IRIS solution in the Amazon Web Services ecosystem, server less application, or boto3 powered python script, using the IRIS Python Native API could be the way to go. You don't have to build out to far with a production implementation until you'll need to reach out and get something or set something in IRIS to make your application do its awesome sauce, so hopefully you will find value in this article and build something that matters or doesn't matter at all to anybody else but you as that is equally important.

Hello,

I like to know if we need to have the message in a file to process a Record Map?

I am working with Interoperability Production that processes files /messages using Record Maps. My team was asked to redesign the solution for deployment in AWS. We use containers. We had problems with having multiple containers processing files from the same directory. We are considering Amazon Simple Queue Service instead of having files on a shared file system.

Has anybody migrated a Record Map to a Schema Definition to validate a message as a Virtual Document as I have seen with X12 messages?

Is IRIS supports imap to integrate with email server?

In Oracle database, the synonym is an alternative name for objects such as tables, views, sequences, stored procedures, and other database objects.

You generally use synonyms when you are granting access to an object from another schema and you don't want the users to have to worry about knowing which schema owns the object.

Is IRIS SQL sintax has something like this: (oracle sintax)

CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM suppliers
FOR app.suppliers;

This first CREATE SYNONYM example demonstrates how to create a synonym called suppliers. Now, users of other schemas can reference the table called suppliers

Hi Community,

Those of you who run and support older-style legacy systems on IRIS may be interested in learning about and trying out a new framework I've built on top of my colleague Chris Munt's mg_web technology (details at https://github.com/chrisemunt/mg_web).

There are quite a few older-style and legacy applications out there whose useful life can be extended by making their functionality available as REST APIs.  To make this something that can be done quickly and easily, using modern, industrial-strength web servers, I've created what I'm calling mgweb-server:

GA releases are now published for the 2020.3 version of InterSystems IRIS, IRIS for Health, with IntegratedML!

This is the first InterSystems IRIS release that includes IntegratedML, a new feature that brings "best of breed" machine learning to analysts and developers via simple and intuitive SQL syntax. Developers can now easily train and deploy powerful predictive models from within IRIS, right where their data lives. Documentation for IntegratedML is available as a User Guide. Virtual Summit 2020 features a number of sessions and an Experience Lab featuring IntegratedML, see overview here.

InterSystems has corrected a defect that may cause Windows Telnet processes that are secured using SSL/TLS to hang indefinitely; this may then cause an instance to become unresponsive. This defect is present only on Windows platforms.

This defect affects:

• Caché and Ensemble 2018.1.4
• HealthShare Health Connect (HSAP) 15.032 built on C/E 2018.1.4
• InterSystems IRIS and InterSystems IRIS for Health 2020.3

The problems caused by this defect can occur only when the instance is running Windows Telnet.

How InterSystems solutions handle C10k connections? ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C10k_problem )
For example, I want to create a social network on InterSystems platform.
In the scenario client (browser) => CSP Gateway => Cache can the Cache handle a large number of clients at the same time?
Quick analysis shows that CSP Gateway for each request opens a new TCP connection to Cache SuperServer (port 1972) allocating CSP session and license slot.
SuperServer has no queues or pools, and TCP connections are expensive (in terms of system resources).
Is there any real-world projects or tests/results?
