I want to send requests from custom BP with timeout and be able to understand that timeout event happened.

I thought that I need to implement OnTimeout method in my process (in either caller or callee), however it seems like OnTimeout  is never called.

Let's say we have this parent process:

Class Timeout.Parent Extends Ens.BusinessProcess [ ClassType = persistent ]
{
Method OnRequest(pRequest As Ens.StringContainer, Output pResponse As Ens.StringContainer) As %Status {
    set sc = ..SendRequestSync("Timeout.Child", pRequest, .pResponse, 5)
    if ($$$ISOK(sc) && ('$isObject(pResponse

Hi all!

I'd like to share the code we used in a hands-on session in the last InterSystems Iberia Summit (Spain) about developing a simple Angular app using InterSystems IRIS as backend.

Hi,

Do you have any experience in server side pagination with IRIS using Angular on the client side?
Any idea on a typical SQL request on the server side?

Thanks!
Blaise

iKnow by Benjamin De Boe

The iKnow Natural Language Processing technology was originally developed in Belgium and then acquired by InterSystems in 2010. In February 2020, InterSystems published the technology to open source, expanding the possible use cases for it beyond embedded use from the InterSystems IRIS Data Platform. iKnow is open to community contributions to enhance the engine, language models and interfaces for use in-text exploration, information extraction, and machine learning use cases.

Dear Community, 

We're pleased to invite you to "ConferencIA", a conference about data and AI, which will take place on February 20 in Madrid, Spain!

At the event, both InterSystems experts and external thought leaders will share success stories and real projects, where AI is already a reality.

This error is sometimes seen while viewing a listing in InterSystems IRIS Business Intelligence:
ERROR #5540: SQLCODE: -99 Message: User <USERNAME> is not privileged for the operation (4)  

As the error suggests, this is due to a permission error. To figure out which permissions are missing/needed, we can take a look at the SQL query that is generated. We will use a query from SAMPLES as an example.

SELECT TOP 1000 %ID, DateOfSale, Outlet->City, %EXTERNAL(Channel) AS Channel, Product->Name AS Product, UnitsSold, AmountOfSale AS Revenue, (Discount * 100) || '%' AS Discount, Comment FROM HoleFo

Dear Community,

 We're pleased to invite you to the InterSystems Benelux Symposium 2020, which will take place from February 11th to 12th in Antwerp, Belgium!

Fastest Path to Possible - With Digital Innovation

Ladies and gentlemen, good news for our town.

It finally happened  - M was put in the cell.

And feels great there. Maybe it not a prison but an Excel cell.

Being there, he leads the whole M-gang. As well as conditional formatting in EXCEL.

Close integration of excel with the database provides a new convenient design tool.

Interactive reports, input forms, diagrams are generated only by m-commands in cells, without classical programming.

More detailed on https://github.com/mx-alex/MX

We will monitor the development of the situation and answer your questions.

best wishes

Alex

There is a special Query for reporting, it takes one cell of Excel. Example :

?$$omQuery 113^oPeat | Country   Country:Province   Date   Product:Date   Date:Product:-zr   | tn EURO | zrzr| | if Date'<%XD81,Date'>%XD82 |  set zrzr=zr,EURO=summa

The omQuery sets the structure and content of the required documents as well as filters and data processing procedures.

In one request, up to 9 reports are created, with subtotals by group. (5 here , 3 with:subtotals )

All issued documents retain the interactivity property - any manipulations with cells are displayed in excel and in virtual m-excel s

If you had the opportunity to change something in the IRIS Interoperability Message Viewer, what would you do?

Our company is in the process of converting our software for use in Intersystems IRIS and one of the major sections of the software makes use of a custom statically-linked C library using the $ZF("function-name") functionality. During this, I found out that the process for setting up the C library to be used within the database platform has changed significantly between Cache and IRIS.

If you have used or still use the C Callout Gateway with Cache, then you will know that in order for Cache to be made aware of any functions provided in a custom C library to be used with $ZF("function-name"),

Hi developers!

Just want to check with you on best practices for that.

You collaborate for InterSystems IRIS repository. You fork it, then make changes, commit, push, pull request, discuss(if any), your PR is accepted.

What's next? 

Do you delete the repository you forked in?

In Episode 4 of Data Points, we welcome @Benjamin De Boe to the pod to discuss some of the things you can do to optimize your SQL queries in InterSystems IRIS. We've all heard — either from ourselves or from others — the "this runs too slowly" complaint. I thought Benjamin did a great job walking through many of the things within IRIS you can look at with your queries to see what can be improved.

Any recommendations - From COS, From .net?

Hi Developers,

Enjoy watching the new video on InterSystems Developers YouTube:

⏯ SQL Performance: Need for Speed

   try{

            Quit tSC

}

On compiling the above, I get an error saying "QUIT argument not allowed : 'tSC' ".

• When I replace Quit tSC with Return tSC, it compiles
• On replacing Quit tSC with Quit $$$OK, I get the error: QUIT argument not allowed : '1'
• On replacing Quit tSC with Quit, it compiles
• A 'Quit tSC' statement outside of the try-catch block does not cause a compile-time error.

The reason this happens is

Preview Mode was added to InterSystems IRIS Business Intelligence to give designers a quick view of what their resulting Pivot Table will look like without needing to wait for the results to fully execute. This can be beneficial when designing pivot tables because if you are dragging and dropping elements to see how they look/work in your pivot table and seeing if they have the desired data. Since you are exploring and designing, you don't necessarily care about the results at the moment, but you would still like to see how your table looks with the changes you have made.

I need to convert an array with an unknown number of indices to a JSON string for transmission (which is why it isn't possible to iterate through it using $ORDER). Does ObjectScript provide functionality to convert an array to a JSON string?

Edit 1: As Joel mentioned, the array is subscripted and has an arbitrary structure like:

a(1)="a"
a(3,4)="b"
a(3,6)="c"
a(5,6,7)="d"

which needs to be converted to

{"1":"a", "3":{"4":"b","6":"c"}, "5":{"6":{"7":"d"}}}

I had considered using a combination of $Query (to traverse the array) and $Order (to retrieve property names) but was wondering

In a HTTP operation, which extends Ens.BusinessOperation, EnsLib.REST.Operation, one can read the component's AlertGroups property by simply referring to it with "..":

set AlertGroup =  ..AlertGroups//Do something with AlertGroup

"AlertGroups" is a property of Ens.Host. The above however  does not work in a business process which Extends Ens.BusinessProcessBPL which extends Ens.BusinessProcess which extends Ens.Host. Can this property be read from inside the business process and what would the syntax be? 

As the end result I would like to include the component's AlertGroups prope

Hi Developers,

Conversion Sequence step 4 (see table below)

Over the last few months, we have made changes to InterSystems IRIS to make it easier for you to move from Caché/Ensemble (C/E) to InterSystems IRIS. The most significant adjustments are the re-introduction of non-Unicode databases and the in-place conversion. InterSystems IRIS now fully supports non-Unicode databases with all the functionally that already exists with Caché. The in-place conversion supports an upgradelike process to install InterSystems IRIS right on top of your existing C/E deployments. We call it a “conversion” because it transform

I wanted to share each of the first three episodes of our new Data Points podcast with the community here — we previously posted announcements for episodes on IntegratedML and Kubernetes — so here is our episode on InterSystems IRIS as a whole! It was great talking with @Jenny Ames about what sets IRIS apart, some of the best use cases she's seen in her years as a trainer in the field and then as an online content developer, and more. Check it out, and make sure to subscribe at the link above — Episode 4 will be released next week!

Hi Developers!

Another way to start using InterSystems ObjectScript Package Manager is to use prebuilt container images of InterSystems IRIS Community Edition and InterSystems IRIS for Health Community Edition.

We deploy this IRIS images on DockerHub and you can run it with the following command:

docker run --rm -p 52773:52773 --init --name my-iris -d intersystemsdc/iris-community:2019.4.0.383.0-zpm

Launch a terminal with:

docker exec -it my-iris iris session IRIS

And install zpm-module as:

USER>zpm 

zpm: USER>install objectscript-math

[objectscript-math] Reload START

[objectscript-math] Reload SUCCESS

[objectscript-math] Module object refreshed.

[objectscript-math] Validate START

[objectscript-math] Validate SUCCESS

[objectscript-math] Compile START

[objectscript-math] Compile SUCCESS

[objectscript-math] Activate START

[objectscript-math] Configure START

[objectscript-math] Configure SUCCESS

[objectscript-math] Activate SUCCESS

zpm: USER>

And use same commands for InterSystems IRIS for Health using the tag: intersystemsdc/irishealth-community:2019.4.0.383.0-zpm

The images are being published on IRIS Community Edition and IRIS Community Edition for Health repositories of Docker Hub.

We will update tags with every new release of IRIS and ZPM.

Happy coding!

I was searching for the most simple way to connect from visual studio code to my local instance via terminal without having to change any window.

I know this can also be achieved via telnet but seems a bit overhead if you're in your local machine.

For me the simplest sollution is to open a terminal window in VS Code, navigate to the /bin folder of your instance installation and run .\csession.exe INSTANCENAME

For simplicity you can just include your /bin folder in your path so you don't even need to navigate there

In fact if you've added some remote instances as remote conexions on your
