#InterSystems IRIS

In theprevious article, we looked at one way to create a custom operator that manages the IRIS instance state. This time, we’re going to take a look at a ready-to-go operator, InterSystems Kubernetes Operator (IKO).Official documentation will help us navigate the deployment steps.

Hi Community,

We are pleased to invite you to the upcoming webinar in Spanish:

➡️ Developing a chatbot with Google Dialogflow, Telegram and InterSystems IRIS

Date & Time: February 2, 4:00 PM (CET)

During the webinar:

Sometimes it is necessary to execute commands from the shell of the host operating system, where your ObjectScript program is located, to launch programs, operating system services, schedule crontasks, among other activities. For this, the language has a utility procedure called $ZF(-100). See:

$ZF(-100,flags,program,args)

Where flags is the type of command you want to execute. In our case, the flag is "/ SHELL", to execute shell commands on the host operating system.

Program is the name of the program or service to be executed.

Args are execution arguments passed to the program.

Is it possible to move data from i2b2 (https://community.i2b2.org) to IRIS (for example to Health Connect 2019) platform?

Does anybody have such experience?

I need to do some nifty string manipulation on a source property. I will not be able to do it with the functions available(with the knowledge that I have of what is available). Could I call a ClassMethod to do this for me? This is what I want to do: The source property is "myemail@myemaildomain.co.uk". I need to add the text "test" to the beginning of that string. "testmyemail@myemaildomain.co.uk". That should be simple enough, but then I have to do this as well, "testmyemail@myemaildomaintest.co.uk". Note the additional "test" added after "myemaildomain".

For the benefit of those who want to use the Document Database (DocDB) capabilities within InterSystems IRIS, and specifically the REST API it provides, I put together a Postman Collection that provides samples for several basic calls.

For example:

Hey Developers, 

Our next community session from Virtual Summit 2020 is already on InterSystems Developers YouTube:

🏆 Best Applications of InterSystems Programming Contest Series 🏆

This is a first attempt to use Embedded Python in IRIS
The Python code is adapted from solutions for Advent of Code 2020 contest.
Test data are all input to my personal challenge.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have git and Docker desktop installed.

Installation

Clone/git pull this repo into any local directory

$ git clone https://github.com/rcemper/try_embedded_python  

I just need to know if I can test a Virtual Document to a flat file transformation using the Test facility in the Tools tab of the Data Transformation Builder.

There is an example in Ensemble(ENSDEMO namespace), but that is for a Virtual Document to Virtual Document. I need to know the syntax in the Input box.

Hi InterSystems Community!

The ObjectScript language of InterSystems IRIS has the ability to extend classes using a very interesting feature called XData.

It is a section in your class that can be used to create custom definitions to be used within the class itself and also externally.

To create one or more XData definitions for your class is very easy, see the example:

Hi community,

How Can I get a list fo the classes from a package and for each item of the list the XData content?

Hi, 

I'm trying to read a TIF file using ObjectScript. 

I know that it is possible to achieve using python or R, but I don't know how to do it using ObjectScript.

If anyone has done it before and has some advice, I really appreciate it. 

Best Regards,
Henrique

How to get the computers OS version

Does anybody know if there is an easy way to know if the execution of the command $System.SQL.PurgeForTable went well/wrong?

The documentation describes that a string is returned, but in fact there is a nice Quit "" in the code.

Maybe inside PurgeForTable^%apiSQL there is any process variable set when it goes well/wrong?

Thank you very much!

Hi guys,

In our clients environment, multiple sources will connect to one DB (all through JDBC connections) and perform various operations. Sometimes they found some data was deleted without  reason.  Thus they want some feature like SQL Server Database Audit Specifications that can log who at what time with which IP deleted data in a specific DB.

I've checked IRIS Audit but I didn't  find feature about  that . How can we audit and log  delete  of a known DB? The deletions might be performed by delete statament or truncate table stattement.

Thanks.

Hi team.

Does anyone has any idea on how to send an encrypted / secure Print from IRIS ( which is hosted on AWS ) to a printer ( which is an on-premise device ).

Thanks

Hi all, By using VS code, I want to copy multiple files to local directory, then sync them to server, but I can't find where local directory is stored? In Atelier IDE, I could open a view of server and can copy the code to the project, then code is saved in the local directory. When I copy multiple files to the local directory -> choose sync in Atelier -> the code will be synchronized to the server How to do this from VS Code? Thanks!

Hi Developers,

We're pleased to invite all the developers to the upcoming InterSystems Multi-model contest kick-off webinar! The topic of this webinar is dedicated to the Multi-model contest.

On this webinar, we will demonstrate the APIs for each data model in action.

Date & Time: Monday, January 11 — 10:00 AM EDT

Hi Community,

In this article I compared the features of the main leaders in the ODBMS gartner quadrant - 2019. See the list sorted by number of existent features.

1. InterSystems IRIS 2020.3 - 59 features (https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls)
2. Oracle Database 21c - 54 features (https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/index.html)
3. Microsoft SQL Server - 45 features (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/sql-server/?view=sql-server-ver15)
4. AWS Aurora - PostgreSQL - 34 features (https://docs.aws.amazon.

Since I'm just starting to use this aspect of IRIS I can't tell if this is a bug or some kind of nuance.  If I run a single column query like this, I get results:

However if I try to retrieve using a DISTINCT or GROUP BY, I get no results:

And again except with a GROUP BY, with no results:

If I add in some other columns I still get no results HOWEVER, if I add in a date column, I now get results:

What am I missing here?  Is this by design and if so, what governs whether a return set is returned or not?  I did purge my query cache in case something was happening there but it did not fix this.

Tiny web application that allows you to anonymize CSV files. Based on InterSystems IRIS®

Version: store/intersystems/iris-community:2020.3.0.221.0

Application

Sample CSV where Date of Birth and Sex will remain untouched, while the rest should be anonymized.

The application recognizes the header columns and allows the user to chose which ones to ignore.

After processing.

Setup

Make sure you have Docker up and running before starting.

Option 1

Recommended in case you just want to get the application up and running.

We released a new version of ZPM (Package Manager)

New in ZPM 0.2.10 release:

1) FileCopy

Added some improvements to already existing tag FileCopy

Example of module.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Export generator="Cache" version="25">
  <Document name="test-binary.ZPM">
    <Module>
      <Name>test-binary</Name>
      <Version>0.0.1</Version>
      <Packaging>module</Packaging>
      <SourcesRoot>src</SourcesRoot>
      <FileCopy Name="lib" Target="${libdir}my-lib"/> <!-- Copies content of lib folder to target -->
      <FileCopy Name="somefile.jar" Target="${libdir}my-lib"/> <!-- Copies just desired file to target -->
    </Module>
  </Document>
</Export>

DataGrip is a multi-engine database environment targeting the specific needs of professional SQL developers, DataGrip makes working with databases an enjoyable and productive experience.

To work with InterSystems IRIS from DataGrip you'll need to add InterSystems JDBC driver first (once per DataGrip) and after that add all your InterSystems IRIS connections.

Part 1: Add InterSystems IRIS JDBC Driver

1. Go To File → DataSources

2. Go to + → Driver

3. Set Driver properties:

• Name: InterSystems IRIS
• Class: com.intersystems.jdbc.IRISDriver

In 2020 we implemented HealthConnect as our HL7 interface engine.  Having completed this, we are currently evaluating whether it would be beneficial to migrate our managed file transfers from our current MFT software, MOVEit to HealthConnect.  I am interested in hearing from any InterSystems customers who have previously used MOVEit and currently using HealthConnect for file transfer managment.  Any feedback would be appreciated.

Hi Community,

We're pleased to invite you to the online meetup with the winners of the InterSystems Analytics Contest!

Date & Time: Monday, January 4, 2021 – 10:00 EDT

What awaits you at this virtual Meetup? 

• Our winners' bios.
• Short demos on their applications.
• An open discussion about technologies being used, bonuses, questions. Plans for the next contests.

I have an SQL text index defined like this

Index TextIndex On (Text) As %iFind.Index.Basic(IGNOREPUNCTUATION = 1, INDEXOPTION = 0, LANGUAGE = "en", LOWER = 1);

If I run a query like this:

SELECT
Text
FROM Post
WHERE %ID %FIND search_index("TextIndex",'ABC')

I get 20 results with posts containing the term ABC.

But each post can contain the term several times.

Is there a way to get a total count of ABC term?

Is there a way to get a count of ABC term in each Post?

Under the previous python binding method (Cache) it was possible to pass in parameters, execute a class query,  and fetch the result sets. I have been unable to find a way to do this via PYODBC or the Native API (perhaps I am just missing something).

My work around is to create a SQLquery string and execute it through a cursor. I would much prefer to simply execute the debugged and more secure class queries that already exist and and have been precompiled. 

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,

Sinon

 We are using Native .NET API from IRISProviderCore21 package, inside .NET Core app, and having issue when trying to call function that takes instance of the class as parameter. The server is IRIS 2020.1.0.217.1

 In a nutshell, the code looks like this:

            // Create instance of the parameter class, proxy object

            var paramObject = iris.ClassMethodObject("MyParameterClass", "%New") as IRISObject;

           paramObject.Set("property", "value");

           var irisResult = iris.
