#InterSystems IRIS

Hi guys,

Mostly the title.  Let's say my commands are stored in a text file "inFile".  Here was my best guess:

<dir to iris> console IRIS2018 <inFile

For reference, here's an example of the analogous structure that works on Cache:

C:\InterSystems\Cache2018\bin\cache -s C:\InterSystems\Cache2018\mgr -U <namespace to start as> <inFile

I think the problem is this:  When the Cache prompt is started, it opens in the same terminal as the line that started it, so passing inFile to standard input effectively types out inFile's lines as login info or commands in Cache.

Did you know that Caché (and now InterSystems IRIS) has available parser for ObjectScript ?

Well, technically, lexer. It hides under the name of %SyntaxColor class. This class provides API to the DLL used by Studio to do syntax highlighting. As a result if works only under Windows.

It was mentioned in an earlier version of the IRIS documentation that IRIS and Cache should not be installed on the same physical server (port clashes?).

I can't see this warning in the current version of the documentation.

Could someone clarify if this has been resolved in the latest release of IRIS?

I bet that not everyone familiar with InterSystems Caché knows about Studio extensions for working with the source code. You can actually use the Studio to create your own type of source code, compile it into interpretable (INT) and object code, and sometimes even add code completion support. That is, theoretically, you can make the Studio support any programming language that will be executed by the DBMS just as well as Caché ObjectScript. In this article, I will give you a simple example of writing programs in Caché Studio using a language that resembles JavaScript. If you are interested, please read along.

Have a great weekend!

Hi Community!

I'm pleased to share the announcement that InterSystems IRIS Data Platform is available on Amazon Web Services marketplace!

Hi,

I need to route a message synchronously to multiple targets using a routing rule.

In IRIS I built a general routing rule set, made up of a couple of rules. For one Rule in particular, and based on a common condition, I want to send the incoming message to 2 different targets. (no transformation is used)

I can select, in the single SEND action, multiple target names, or, I can create consecutive SEND actions, one after the other, each sending to their specific target.

Hi,

How Can I get sentiment analysis (positive or negative attribute) from a source or entity from iKnow REST API?

Hi Community!

Consider I have InterSystems IRIS server in a cloud and want to introduce a DR server for it.

Are there any requirements for DR server for InterSystems IRIS if it is in a cloud?

Should it be the same subnet? One private cloud?

Can DR server be placed on another cloud, say Primary on Google Cloud and DR on Azure? Are there any caveats/concerns?

Hi All!

I asked previously about the DR server in the cloud but actually, I'm curious about the backup server to use as analytics server more than for recovery in DR case.

There is a recommended practice to use an async mirror as a server for BI (InterSystems Analytics, DeepSee)

The question is if I have PRIMARY in the cloud (AWS, Google, Azure, etc) "how far" should async mirror member be placed? Same cloud, same private cloud or it doesn't matter at all for analytics purposes?

(Originally posted on Intersystems CODE by @Iain Bray) The following code snippet converts all indices in a package to bitmap indices. The subroutine "test" runs the code:

The data model of your solution based on InterSystems platforms constantly changes over time. But what do you do with the data that was entered before? Back then, the data was valid, but what’s happening to it now after a number of data model changes? The answer to this question can be provided by the IDP DV tool that checks the property data of persistent and serial classes according to the types of these properties. In case any discrepancies are found, the tool generates a detailed error report for the user.

Containers

With the launch of InterSystems IRIS Data Platform, we provide our product even  in a Docker container. But what is a container?

The fundamental container definition is that of a sandbox for a process.  

Containers are software-defined packages that have some similarities to virtual machines (VM) like for example they can be executed. 

Containers provide isolation without a full OS emulation. Containers are therefore much lighter than a VM.

Hi

Totally new to IRIS and Cache.

Trying to evaluate it and work out how we could use it.

As a standard application database. Object or relational etc. does not matter. 

Issue is ObjectScript.

So:

1) Can we develop, maintain and use an IRIS database and never use ObjectScript i.e. use only Java, Python, C++ interfaces etc. (exactly which one does not matter)? Would that make designing and using the IRIS database more prone to inefficiency and error?

2) Can we import an existing Cache database into IRIS and convert its ObjectScript code into Java, Python whatever?

Hey Developers!

New session recording from Global Summit 2018 is available on InterSystems Developers YouTube Channel:

Using Blockchain with InterSystems IRIS

Here I’ll walk you through the process of creating a simple Node/Express API and connect it to a InterSystems IRIS instance.

I won't go into much detail about how to work with any of the technologies I will mention in this tutorial but I will leave links, in case you want to learn more.

The objective here is to give you a practical guide on how to set up and connect a node.js back-end API to IRIS.

Before we get our hands dirty, make sure you have Node.js running on your machine. So I'll check:

Version 8.12.0 is the current LTS (Long Term support) version of node.js.

The following code provides information about software builds. Read the original description below for information about the different methods:

Continuing on with providing some examples of various storage technologies and their performance profiles, this time we looked at the growing trend of leveraging internal commodity-based server storage, specifically the new HPE Cloudline 3150 Gen10 AMD processor-based single socket servers with two 3.2TB Samsung  PM1725a NVMe drives.  

(Originally posted on Intersystems CODE by @Eduard Lebedyuk, 10/12/15) The following code snippet outputs all filenames in the file path "dir" in the Cache/IRIS terminal. The class method "test" runs the code:

Class eduardlebedyuk.filenamesInDir Extends %RegisteredObject
{
	classmethod test() {
		// replace dir with file path you want
		set dir = "D:\directory" 
		set dir = ##class(%File).NormalizeDirectory(dir)
		set file=$ZSEARCH(dir_"*")
		while file'="" {
			write !,file
			set file=$ZSEARCH("")
		}
	}
}

This code snippet contains the class method "test" which sends an HTML email. Change the literal strings in the method to customize the email's from address, to address, subject, and body:

Class objectscript.sendEmail Extends %RegisteredObject
{
	classmethod test() {
		set m=##class(%Net.MailMessage).%New()
		set m.From="user@company.com"
		 
		set m.IsHTML=1
		 
		do m.To.Insert("user@company.com")
		set m.Subject="Sent by IRIS mail"
		set m.Charset="iso-8859-1"
		do m.TextData.Write("<HTML><HEAD><TITLE></TITLE>"_$char(13,10))
		do m.TextData.Write("<META http-equiv=Content-Type content=""text/html; charset=iso-8859-2""></HEAD>"_$char(13,10))
		do m.TextData.Write("<BODY><FONT face=Arial size=2>Test <B>Test</B></FONT></BODY></HTML>")
		set s=##class(%Net.SMTP).%New()
		set s.smtpserver="mail.company.com"
		set status=s.Send(m)
	}
}

Hi all,

We are moving to IRIS our productions, and everything seems to go fine. But we are facing a problem because we are using the object %Library. CacheObject in some classes, and IRIS doesn't seem to recognize it. At the IRIS documentation (https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/documatic/%25CSP.Documatic…) the object is effectively removed, and I can't find the equivalent.

Has anyone faced this? Which is the new object in IRIS? 

Hi,

We have a few projects and some of these projects share code "libraries". Some of which are persistent classes that are used by multiple systems. All these are currently deployed on Ensemble. We want to move some of the smaller ones to the cloud and make use of IRIS.

The challenge is that once we synchronise the code to IRIS from Atelier, then IRIS changes the storage definitions, which then creates changes to the files. We do not want to commit all these changes to git as it will happen again once someone synchronises with Ensemble.

This code snippet uses %ZEN.Auxiliary.jsonSQLProvider. The namespace and string of SQL can be edited for different situations. The class method "test" runs the code:

Class eduardlebedyuk.passQuestionParams
{
	classmethod test(pValue = 50) {
		s ns = $Namespace
	    zn "samples"
	    s tSQL = "SELECT ID, Name FROM Sample.Person WHERE Id > ?"
	    s tPR = ##class(%ZEN.Auxiliary.jsonSQLProvider).%New()
	    s tPR.sql = tSQL
	    s tPR.%Format = "tw"
	    s tPR.maxRows = 100
    s tParam = ##class(%ZEN.Auxiliary.parameter).%New()
    s tParam.value = pValue
    d tPR.parameters.SetAt(tParam,1)
  
    d tPR.%DrawJSON() 
    //d ##class(%ZEN.Auxiliary.jsonSQLProvider).%WriteJSONFromSQL(,,,,,tPR)  //same thing
    zn ns
}

}

Care must be taken, as with any platform or deployment model, to ensure all aspects of an environment are considered such as performance, availability, operations, and management procedures.  Specifics of each of those areas will be covered in this article.

Hi all. We are going to find duplicates in a dataset using Apache Spark Machine Learning algorithms.

Note: I have done the following on Ubuntu 18.04, Python 3.6.5, Zeppelin 0.8.0, Spark 2.1.1

Introduction

In previous articles we have done the following:

• The way to launch Jupyter Notebook + Apache Spark + InterSystems IRIS
• Load a ML model into InterSystems IRIS
• K-Means clustering of the Iris Dataset
• The way to launch Apache Spark + Apache Zeppelin + InterSystems IRIS

In this series of articles, we explore Machine Learning and record linkage.

Hello everyone,

i want to create an iris document database with Atelier with some properties, where i can import my JSON formatted data from an API to the database which i created. Right now i know how to import my local JSON formatted data to my created database:

Class User.Classtest

{

ClassMethod getFile() as %Status

{

               set filename = "/home/student/Downloads/own_scrobble.json"

               IF $SYSTEM.DocDB.Exists("db.Streamingdatabase") {

                              SET db = ##class(%DocDB.Database).%GetDatabase("db.

I'm new to Iris, trying to follow this guide ( https://community.intersystems.com/post/k-means-clustering-iris-dataset ) about using clustering. I've followed all instructions until showing the data. At that point, `dataFrame.show()` fails with `java.sql.SQLException: Access Denied`.

I'm using IRIS 2018.12.609.0 on Windows 10 Pro 64 bits. Python is 3.6.6, PySpark is 2.3.1, installed from Anaconda (Python 3.6.6 |Anaconda, Inc.| (default, Jun 28 2018, 11:27:44) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32).

The following class method "test" contains code that can create a new class, create new properties for classes, or create new methods for classes. "test" runs all three of these processes once, and the code that performs each action is labelled by comments in the method:

ClassMethod test() As %Status
{
	set sc = $$$OK
// Create a class
set class = ##class(%ClassDefinition).%New("MyClass")
set class.Description = "This is my test class"_$c(13,10)_"testing %ClassDefinition"
set class.Super = "%Persistent"

// Create a property and add it
set property = ##class(%PropertyDefinition).%New("MyClass.MyProperty")
set property.Type = "%String"
set property.Description="This is a property"
set sc1 = class.Properties.Insert(property)
do:$$$ISERR(sc1) $system.Status.DisplayError(sc1)
set sc = $$$ADDSC(sc, sc1)

// Create a method and add it
set method = ##class(%MethodDefinition).%New("MyClass.MyMethod")
set method.ReturnType = "%Integer"
set method.FormalSpec = "x:%Integer,y:%Integer=10"
set method.Description = "Return product of x and y"
set method.CodeMode = "code"
set method.Code = " new result"_$c(13,10)_" set result=x*y"_$c(13,10)_" quit result"
set sc2 = class.Methods.Insert(method)
do:$$$ISERR(sc2) $system.Status.DisplayError(sc2)
set sc = $$$ADDSC(sc, sc2)

// Save the class definition
set sc3 = class.%Save()
do:$$$ISERR(sc3) $system.Status.DisplayError(sc3)
set sc = $$$ADDSC(sc, sc3)

return sc

}
