I enjoy the challenge of being in a contest. Currently I participate in InterSystems IRIS with REST API Programming Contest. My idea for this contest was to create an app to help me keep track of tasks for my Status Reports. I started with the template provided by Evgeny Shvarov. I created a persistent class for Tasks and a REST Dispatch class. I defined my URL map and I even figured out how to test my REST app using Postman. I felt proud of myself for a little while.

⏯ System Alerting and Monitoring Made Easy

When I describe InterSystems IRIS to more technically-minded people, I always start with how it is a multimodel DBMS at its core.

In my opinion that is its main advantage (on the DBMS side). And the data is stored only once. You just choose the access API you want to use.

• You want some sort of summary for your data? Use SQL!
• Do you want to work extensively with one record? Use objects!
• Want to access or set one value and you know the key? Use globals!

Hi Developers!

We are having a series of InterSystems IRIS Online Programming contests this year!

This announcement is for current and all future online contests. 

Below you'll find the judgment rules for the IRIS Contest.

Hi Developers!

Today we launched the second programming contest on InterSystems IRIS, the landing.

The topic is the REST API.

And we introduced a few technology bonuses.

Here I want to provide details on what application eligible, what are the technology bonuses and how to collect all of them.

Here we go!

Simple problem:

1. I leave a long-running command in terminal
2. Switch to another task(s)
3. Remember that I need to check on my command after a few hours

Is there any way to force terminal to the foreground after current command ends?

This is Windows with cterm/iristerm although Putty/Kitty solution would also be nice.

Hi,

Do you have any experience in inserting a panda dataframe into SQL IRIS Table? The dataframe.to_sql method uses sqlalchemy and it seems no dialect is available for IRIS.

thanks, Blaise

One of the things I want from VSCode is to have a familiar Studio look.

Thankfully VSCode is easily customizable so you can choose any color for any element.

Here's what I got so far:

To get the same look add to your settings.json:

"workbench.colorTheme": "Default Light+",
"editor.tokenColorCustomizations":{
    "textMateRules": [
        {
            "scope": "entity.other.attribute-name.objectscript_class",
            "settings": {
                "foreground": "#000000"
            }
        },
        {
            "scope": "string.quoted.double.

Hi Community,

We're pleased to invite you to join the upcoming InterSystems IRIS 2020.1 Tech Talk: Data Science, ML & Analytics on April 21st at 10:00 AM EDT!

In this first installment of InterSystems IRIS 2020.1 Tech Talks, we put the spotlight on data science, machine learning (ML), and analytics. InterSystems IntegratedML^TM brings automated machine learning to SQL developers. We'll show you how this technology supports feature engineering and chooses the most appropriate ML model for your data, all from the comfort of a SQL interface. We'll also talk about what's new in our open analytics offerings. Finally, we'll share some big news about InterSystems Reports, our "pixel-perfect" reporting option. See how you can now generate beautiful reports and export to PDF, Excel, or HTML.

Hi, i have installed Prometheus as solution to monitor IAM, Iris & Docker, someone have experience using something like : 

https://github.com/Lusitaniae/apache_exporter

this use mod_status, but i'm not sure if possible activate this on containers, ideas ?

I want monitor WebGateways on Prometheus, finally have a full Grafana based monitor for all systems.

Hi!

I believe the simplest is (to work with csv delimited by ";"):

set file = ##class(%File).%New( "data.csv" )
    set sc = file.Open( "R" ) 
    if $$$ISERR(sc) quit    ; or do smth

    while 'file.AtEnd {
        set str=file.ReadLine() 
        for i=1:1:$length( str, ";" ) {
            set id=$piece( str, ";" ,i ) 
            write !, id  // or do smth
        }
    }
    do file.Close()

Possible options:

different variants of error handling with sc code.

Embrace while loop into try/catch block.

And what's yours?

Hi Developers,

Please welcome another "Coding Talk" video specially recorded for the second IRIS Programming Contest: 

⏯ How to Build, Test and Publish ZPM Package with REST Application for InterSystems IRIS

Download  MX  into folder  C:/mx   (if Windows)

Create the REST application MX in IRIS namespace USER:

• USER> do ^%REST …………
• USER> do $System.OBJ.ImportDir(“c:/mx”,”vmx.ro”,”ck”,,1)
• USER> do $System.OBJ.ImportDir("c:/mx","rest.xml","ck",,1)

Prepare excel sheet - place on it mx-formulas and mumps-commands:

To connect excel correctly, you must first specify the server address and port in MX_CONFI.xlsb sheet 'connections'. Port see in ^|"%SYS"|%SYS("WebServer","Port").

Run MX.XLSB. Commands written on sheet created a test global on the server and the interface buttons.

This is the first in a pair of articles on SQL indices.

Part 1 - Know your indices

What is an index, anyway?

Picture the last time you went to a library. Typically they have books sorted by subject matter (and then author and title), and each shelf has an end-plate with a code describing the subject of its books. If you wanted to collect books of a certain subject, instead of walking across every aisle and reading the inside cover of every book, you could head straight for the bookshelf labelled with your desired subject matter and choose your books.

Hello Guys,

Can someone help me?

I'm triggering a Rest Services, my JSON is a String variable(Request.JSON), when I pass it on EntityBody.Write, WS returns me the 403 error.
When I pass Obj = {} it responds by saying that no Data has been sent.
So, my problem is to set the "Obj" with the String variable, I should convert it, correct? But how do I do this? My JSON is all in this variable.

MyCode:

        Set Dados = ##class(%Net.HttpRequest).%New(),
            Dados.Authorization = pBearer _ Request.Token,
            Dados.ContentType = "application/json"
 
        $$$TRACE(Dados.

Some weeks ago, I was reading a book by Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow, The Grand Design. At a certain point, trying to define why do we exist? , why do we use the models we use in physics?, ...those kind of things you know... they pointed at the Game of Life example invented by the mathematician John Coward in 1970... Basically he wanted to show that a system with really basic fundamental laws (Physics) could evolve and "live" to become a more complex system (Chemistry) in which "something" (humans) could work out its own model and complex rules to explain its reality… the rules for this deterministic model that he exposed were so basic that I thought it could be funny to implement them in ObjectScript when I had some spare time... there are others implementations in JavaScript and other languages... but not in ObjectScript... and that had to be corrected!!… so here you are!

Hello,

Recently I have been required to work with a method called ExportToStream.

The situation asks me to export a UTF-8-encoded JSON as a XML to be imported on old releases. Here's how I attempted to fulfill this request:

do $System.OBJ.ExportToStream("path/to/my/json/file.json", .stream,,,"UTF8")

The file is indeed encoded as UTF-8 and although the XML header denotes that it has been exported as UTF8:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF8"?

Hello all,

I'm new to the Intersystems development world and I've been trying to figure out how to make a REST API using ObjectScript. I found a tutorial that I've been following that has been great and I'm trying to translate what I've learned to live data.

My question is "Is there a way I can set a variable inside of a class so when I call a routine that variable will be recognized?" I'm capable of setting the variable in a terminal session and then calling the routine and everything will be work great! I will get the data I want returned.

Hi,

Is there a way to hide a property in Data Transformation UI in Interoperability for IRIS?
I would like the property not to appear in the list of available properties to set.

Thanks,
