This series of articles would cover Python Gateway for InterSystems Data Platforms. Execute Python code and more from InterSystems IRIS. This project brings you the power of Python right into your InterSystems IRIS environment:

• Execute arbitrary Python code
• Seamlessly transfer data from InterSystems IRIS into Python
• Build intelligent Interoperability business processes with Python Interoperability Adapter
• Save, examine, modify and restore Python context from InterSystems IRIS

The plan for the series so far (subject to change).

s txt(1)="1"

s txt(2) = "2"

s txt(3)="3"

...

s txt(n)="n"

 Instead of hardcoding "d ..write(txt1(1),txt(2),txt(3))"

Is it possible to write code to generate the input parameters to do d ..write(txt1)...txt(n))?

ClassMethod write(Arg... As %String)

{

  s cnt = $GET(Arg, 0)

}

In the previous part of this series, we saw how to define a basic portlet. Now we will look into making this portlet reference a web page that will enhance our dashboard experience.

In this example, we will be embedding a Developer Community article along side a couple of widgets displaying information related to the number of views on the Developer Community articles. This example is not hosted on the Community Analytics server, but if it was we could see the view counts going up as we interacted with the page.

Why use this?

In a real case, perhaps you have an embedded page from an external web site showing the current Emergency Room wait times for Hospitals in your area. This portlet can be used along side widgets from your Emergency Room showing how many people are waiting, how many doctors are active, and how many people are being treated. As other Emergency Room wait times grow, you can possibly expect your volume to increase as well. This can help you make decisions on how to allocate resources.

I am having trouble configuring the environment in eclipse have download eclipse  for java script and web developers  followed the video but could not connect to the server I have my Apache server 7.0 added to the java environment and I can start and stop the server through eclipse IDE but when I fire atelier and add server I get the above error any help please .This is the first time I am trying to use the plug in through eclipse .

Hi, 

As we announced at our Global Summit in October, we are developing dedicated connectors for a number of third-party data visualization tools for InterSystems IRIS. With these connectors, we want to combine an excellent user experience with optimal performance when using those tools to visualize data managed on InterSystems IRIS Data Platform.

What is a portlet?

The simple answer is: a custom widget. A portlet can exist by itself on a DeepSee dashboard, it can be used along side standard DeepSee widgets, or along side other portlets. The rendering of the custom widget is completely user defined. This means you can embed a web page, create a form to perform any sort of action needed based on the data on your dashboard, use third party charting libraries, or simply display data from outside of a DeepSee cube.

How to get started

I need  to ran a task on a specified days (once a month but a different day each month).

How can I do that in Task Manager?

Hi Community,

The new video from Global Summit 2019 is already on InterSystems Developers YouTube:

⏯ The Value of Developing with Containers

If you work with anything other than English, you would earlier or later encounter the characters from the title or just plain ??????????.

Encodings are usually known, but sometimes you just get gibberish and need to make sense of it.

In this cases $zcvt is your friend, the three argument form specifically.

But there are a lot of options. So here's an utility script to check how the text would look like in different encodings:

Zn "%SYS"
Set Text = "ÍàØâàÞæØâë"
Set Ref = ##class(Config.NLS.Locales).OpenCurrent(.Sc)
Write "Locale name: ",Ref.Name, !
Do Ref.

Hot on the heels of the QEWD-JSdb announcement, QEWD-baseline provides a ready-to-run baseline environment for developing REST APIs.

The QEWD-baseline repository (https://github.com/robtweed/qewd-baseline) includes a fully-detailed tutorial on how to build RESY APIs using QEWD and the QEWD-JSdb database (running of course on IRIS).

https://github.com/robtweed/qewd-baseline/blob/master/REST.

ObjectScript has at least three ways of handling errors (status codes, exceptions, SQLCODE, etc.). Most of the system code uses statuses but exceptions are easier to handle for a number of reasons. Working with legacy code you spend some time translating between the different techniques. I use these snippets a lot for reference. Hopefully they're useful to others as well.

///Status from SQLCODE:
set st = $$$ERROR($$$SQLError, SQLCODE, $g(%msg))  //embedded SQL
set st = $$$ERROR($$$SQLError, rs.%SQLCODE, $g(rs.%Message)) //dynamic SQL
///Exception from SQLCODE:
throw ##class(%Exception.

Hi Community,

This week we have two new videos from Global Summit 2019. Please welcome:

1.   An ML Toolkit for InterSystems IRIS: Co-Innovation in Healthcare

Hi,

   I've heard from two different sources the SMP (or parts of it) and for sure the DTL front end (in studio? via SMP?) have been rewritten to be more modern.  But on a latest IRIS Community download everything looks the same to me.  Am I missing something or is this Marketting Spin?

  ^{Hopefully I won't get banned for this post aswell......}

Olá pessoal,

Compartilho material de um curso desenvolvido por mim, espero que possa ajudar a comunidade.

Want to see how IRIS can be used in a radically-new way, as a JavaScript-based Multi-model database?

Take a look at QEWD-JSdb: https://github.com/robtweed/qewd-jsdb

Full instructions on how to try it out on the AWS IRIS Community Edition are included in the repository.

Hi folks,

how do people run iris-community edition nowadays? It seems there are some incantations needed that are not documented here: https://hub.docker.com/_/intersystems-iris-data-platform/plans/222f869e-567c-4928-b572-eb6a29706fbd?tab=instructions

When I follow these, I am only getting an error:

(tasks)  ⚙ fhaupt@lamia  ~/projects/iris  docker run --name iris --rm  -p 9091:51773 -p 9092:52773 --volume /Users/fhaupt/projects/iris/external:/durable --env ISC_DATA_DIRECTORY=/durable/iris store/intersystems/iris-community:2019.4.0.379.0

Hi Developers!

For those who want to participate in the Advent of Code 2019 and code with ObjectScript in IRIS, I created a very simple but handy Github Template.

Use the green button

to copy template in your own repo, clone the repo and run in the repo folder:

docker-compose up -d

you will get InterSystems IRIS 2019.4 Community Edition running with the template classes to load input data from files and Day1 solution.

This is also set up to start crafting solutions of Advent of Code 2019 and edit, compile and debug ObjectScript with VSCode addon.

Happy coding with Advent of Code 2019!

BridgeWorks is pleased to announce a VDM, v9.1.0.1.

I have a problem connecting IRIS to Atelier Webapplication.

IRIS Version: IRIS for UNIX (Red Hat Enterprise Linux for x86-64) 2019.1.1 (Build 609U) Thu Sep 12 2019 22:40:26 EDT

 When I try to access Atelier API  ( i.e. Webbrowser ) then I can not authorize.

Here is what it looks like:

URL: http://localhost:52773/api/atelier

I put in the valid credentials of a user with a %Developer Role but I am not able to authorize.

The api/atelier web application is enabled in the Management Portal.

I have this bevhavior only with the ReadHat Community Unix version of IRIS.

Has the Cache install been replaced with IRIS? Sorry if this is a silly question. I remember downloading Cache before and using Cache studio. I can't seem to find a download for that anymore, just IRIS? I did grab that and I'm able to connect Studio to what I need.

If there is still a Cache download, where can I find it?

Thanks!

Hi Community,

We are pleased to invite you to the InterSystems Meetup in Moscow on December 10, 2019! 

InterSystems Moscow Meetup is a pre-New Year meeting for users and developers on InterSystems technologies. The meetup will be devoted to the InterSystems IRIS Data Platform.

Please check out the agenda:

Hi Developers,

The new video from Global Summit 2019 is already on InterSystems Developers YouTube:

⏯ Showcase: InterSystems IRIS Directions

I have a class that inherits from %Library.CachePopulate and when I try to compile that class in IRIS I get an error does anyone out there know if this has been decapreated or the equivalent class please, in 2018.2 I can see the class in the documentation but in IRIS there is no reference to it

¡Hi everybody!

As you likely are aware, the new version of InterSystems IRIS for Health (I4H) it's already available in Docker Hub. It's the Community version and is free and fully functional. There have been comments about it in other articles and posts,... so today I won't add anything about features. Here I want to explore "the mistery about the disappearance, or better, absence of our persistent data when we run a container with the durable option"  (I didn't find a terrifying font to emphasize the thriller... post editor is not terrific for styling ) .

Hi Developers,

New video, recorded by @Stefan Wittmann, is already on InterSystems Developers YouTube:

🗣 Multi-Inheritance in a Multi-Model Environment

Currently, many of you has some knowledge about CachéQuality (which is being renamed to objectscriptQuality) for analyzing objectscript code using the rules we have predefined. Probably you have tested it and have found too many warnings in your projects. I'm sure there are issues which are really important for you and some others which you would like to dismiss.

We have more than 90 rules to test different code situations and warn about a problem or a possible bug in code.

InterSystems has corrected a defect that can cause shadowing to fail with an access violation. In rare cases, the defect can cause memory corruption, leading to unpredictable behavior. 

Note: The defect does not affect mirroring.

This defect affects:

• InterSystems IRIS 2019.1.1 and 2019.3
• IRIS for Health 2019.1.1 and 2019.3
• HealthShare Health Connect 2019.1.1
• HealthShare Health Connect (HSAP) 15.032 on 2018.1.3
• Caché and Ensemble 2018.1.

In time for InterSystems Global Summit 2019 we at George James Software are pleased to offer a cloud-hosted evaluation environment where you can work with Serenji in Visual Studio Code, editing and debugging ObjectScript in a sandbox running InterSystems IRIS 2019.3 Community edition.

You can do it all from your web browser. Nothing will be installed on your workstation, nor will any settings have to be changed on it.

To take Serenji for a test drive please visit https://georgejames.com/dc-gitpod

Some time ago I developed an application that tackled a familarial problem faced by many developers when required to update multiple UAT or PRODUCTION sites with the latest Software patches that have been developed and tested on your DEV server and now need to be deployed to multiple sites running that software.
