DP-439207 - AIX JSON Unicode Parsing Issue

A bug has been identified in InterSystems IRIS 2024.3.0 on AIX instances that affects the parsing of JSON Unicode strings. The issue arises when either the %FromJSON() or %FromJSONFile() method

Hi Guys,

Not sure what I'm missing here, I'm using to download files that starts with MTC_88 from S3 bucket using AmazonS3 inboundAdapter as below, but I'm not getting anything and I'm sure there thousands of files that starts with MTC_88 

and the log is not getting any errors?

Thanks

 JSON Web Token (JWT) Authentication

Hi Everyone,

I would like to share the code and step-by-step instructions/or guideline for generating a JWT (JSON Web Token) signature, as well as how to test it using Postman / HealthConnect.

JWT is an open standard (RFC 7519) that defines a compact, URL-safe method for securely transmitting information between parties in the form of a JSON object.

Structure of a JWT:

A JWT consists of three parts, separated by dots (.):

1. Header: The header contains about the token, specifying its type and the signing

Hi all,

As part of the development an API to know what is the instance of IRIS is connected, I've found some methods to know information about the server that can help you.

Get the server name: $SYSTEM.INetInfo.LocalHostName()

Get the server IP: $SYSTEM.INetInfo.HostNameToAddr($SYSTEM.INetInfo.LocalHostName())

Get the instance name: $PIECE($SYSTEM,":",2)

So, I have created the following code as BS class:

Class St.Common.Api Extends (%CSP.REST, Ens.BusinessService)
{
{

XData UrlMap [ XMLNamespace = "http://www.intersystems.com/urlmap" ]
{
<Routes>
	<Route Url="/check" Method="GET" Call="Check

When batch inserting data into a table via SQL, I can use the %NOCHECK keyword to avoid checking foreign key integrity.  This would be appropriate for cases when the inserted data has been verified by some external process.

However, when inserting via objects, I don't see a way to get the same behavior.  Are there any workarounds that use objects for this?

For this case, I have a tool (Tier 2 CCR) for loading many objects into a namespace.The referential integrity of these objects has already be confirmed in a source namespace.

Hi,

I've a list of running scheduled task in task manger and would to crate a tasks to monitor if any of my tasks has stopped running, is there a function to check tasks status?  

Thanks 

Prompt

Firstly, we need to understand what prompt words are and what their functions are.

Prompt Engineering

Hint word engineering is a method specifically designed for optimizing language models.
Its goal is to guide these models to generate more accurate and targeted output text by designing and adjusting the input prompt words.

Core Functions of Prompts

• Improve content matching: By accurately expressing your needs, AI can generate high-quality content that better meets expectations
• Efficiency and time optimization: A clear prompt can directly obtain the desired answer, reducing the time for

Now it is possible ask your IRIS server using an AI Chat or compose other agent applications to get:

1. List the server metrics
2. Return intersystems iris server information
3. Save the global value Hello to the global name Greetings
4. Get the global value Greetings
5. Kill the global Greetings
6. List the classes on IRIS Server
7. Where is intersystems iris installed?
8. Return namespace information from the USER
9. List the CSP Applications
10. List the server files on namespace USER
11. List the jobs on namespace %SYS

To do it, get and install the new package langchain-iris-tool

If one of your packages on OEX receives a review you get notified by OEX only of YOUR own package.   
The rating reflects the experience of the reviewer with the status found at the time of review.   
It is kind of a snapshot and might have changed meanwhile.   
Reviews by other members of the community are marked by * in the last column.

I also placed a bunch of Pull Requests on GitHub when I found a problem I could fix.    
Some were accepted and merged, and some were just ignored.     
So if you made a major change and expect a changed review just let me know.

We are receiving the report in text format and it has special characters like ', - like that in the text. Source system is using the UTF8 encoding format hence the text is showing as ' � ' . Is there a way to convert the utf8 to actual character in the DTL.

Thank you,

As an IT and cloud team manager with 18 years of experience with InterSystems technologies, I recently led our team in the transformation of our traditional on-premises ERP system to a cloud-based solution. We embarked on deploying InterSystems IRIS within a Kubernetes environment on AWS EKS, aiming to achieve a scalable, performant, and secure system. Central to this endeavor was the utilization of the AWS Application Load Balancer (ALB) as our ingress controller. 

However, our challenge extended beyond the initial cluster and application deployment; we needed to establish an efficient and

Is there a way to use a property of the type %Persistent class in a %ZEN.Component.page class?
Example:

The property can be set in a Method like this:

InterSystems FAQ rubric

You can use the WriteToConsoleLog method of the %SYS.System class to write any message to the console log.

The following is an example:

%SYS>write##class(%SYS.System).WriteToConsoleLog("xxxxx log message",0,0)
1

For details on the parameters that can be specified in the WriteToConsoleLog method, please refer to the following document:

Hello interface engineers and app developers,     

Did you know that you can use Python in productions or integrations?

The production configuration user interface is low-code, but in many projects, you may reach a point where you need to write some code. As discussed in the Integration Architecture course, business processes are full of places for inserting code, specifically the BPL editor (for BPL business processes) and the DTL editor (for data transformations).

😯 As of InterSystems IRIS 2025.1, both Python and InterSystems ObjectScript are supported in the BPL and DTL editors.
