Inspiration

Mitigating climate change is only possible through a patchwork of collective action. The future of our planet will be determined by our ability to change previous destructive corporate processes radically. However, companies often struggle to find concrete solutions and actions to reduce their carbon footprint while advancing their business goals.

We partner with Race to Zero to create a climate action ma

Introduction

As the health interoperability landscape expands to include data exchange across on-premise as well as hosted solutions, we are seeing an increased need to integrate with services such as cloud storage. One of the most prolifically used and well supported tools is the NoSQL database DynamoDB (Dynamo), provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS).

The challenge for IRIS implementations, as it relates to Dynamo and other modern web services, is that there is no native support for interacting with Dynamo and AWS within ObjectScript. Fortunately, we can utilize ObjectScript’s support for emb

Hello, dear colleagues.

I need to connect to a remote JavaGateway from an Ensemble service.

I am trying to use the EnsLib.JavaGateway.Service with a remote host where the JVM is running.

I can successfully ping the remote Java Gateway from EnsLib.JavaGateway.Service, and Ensemble reports that the service status is OK.

There are no network issues, and all necessary ports are accessible.

My requests work without any problems when I specify localhost in EnsLib.JavaGateway.Service. However, when I specify a remote JVM, I get the following error:

#5023: Error Java-gateway: Connection

Using SQL Gateway with Python, Vector Search, and Interoperability in InterSystems Iris

Part 3 – REST and Interoperability

Now that we have finished the configuration of the SQL Gateway and we have been able to access the data from the external database via python, and we have set up our vectorized base, we can perform some queries. For this in this part of the article we will use an application developed with CSP, HTML and Javascript that will access an integration in Iris, which then performs the search for data similarity, sends it to LLM and finally returns the generated SQL. The CSP page calls an API in Iris that receives the data to be used in the query, calling the integration. For more information about REST in the Iris see the documentation available at https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cl…

I'm proud to announce the new release of iris-pex-embedded-python (v2.3.1) with a new command line interface.

This command line is called iop for Interoperability On Python.

First I would like to present in few words the project the main changes since the version 1.

A breif history of the project

Version 1.0 was a proof of concept to show how the interoperability framework of IRIS can be used with a python first approach while remaining compatible with any existing ObjectScript code.

What does it mean? It means that any python developer can use the IRIS interoperability framework without any knowledge of ObjectScript.

Example :

from grongier.pex import BusinessOperation

class MyBusinessOperation(BusinessOperation):

    def on_message(self, request):
        self.log.info("Received request")

Great, isn't it?

Hi ,

I have a scheduler task and an associated class that works.

Class Sample.Util.CreateTask Extends (%SYS.Task.Definition, %Persistent)
{

Parameter PROPERTYVALIDATION = 1;

Parameter TaskName = "Sample.Util.CreateTask";

Method OnTask() As %Status
{
// Perform the logic
}

}

Is there a way to Enable or Disable the above task "CreateTask()" from an external function/Method/class ?

Hi colleagues!

Yet another time I figured that there is no super-simple way to display error from %Status variable, but I need it relatively often in a terminal.

Yes, I know about $$$ Macro, but they are not superhelpful in a terminal.

My usual behavior is to try to remember by heart or copy from somewhere the formula:

USER>w $System.Status.DisplayError(st)

I already mentioned in a Previous post I am trying to build a list from a repeatable field within a HL7 message. I figured out how to build the list by using a context list string variable within the Business Process (BPL) and doing a

do context.<variable>.Insert = <value>

 when I am looping through the field. I want to do it one step farther though... I want to search the list to see if the value exists before I do the insert. I only want to insert if the value is different than what is in the list already.

IF$LF(context.Facilities,##class(Ens.Rule.FunctionSet).SubString(context.EpicDepar

Hello,

as it took me some time to figure out what's wrong, I would like to share this experience, so that you do not fall into the same trap.

I've just noticed that if you name your package "code" (all lowercase), in a class using some embedded python using [Language = python], you'll face the <THROW> *%Exception.PythonException <PYTHON EXCEPTION> 246 <class 'ModuleNotFoundError'>: No module named 'code.basics'; 'code' is not a package

Class code.basics Extends%RegisteredObject
{

ClassMethod Welcome() As%Status [ Language = python ]
{
print('Welcome!')
return True
}
}

As of InterSystems IRIS® data platform version 2025.1, InterSystems is officially deprecating MultiValue and including it in the Deprecated and Discontinued Features list. While InterSystems will continue to support existing customers using MultiValue, it is not recommended for new applications.

What This Means for You:

• Continued Support: Support for MultiValue will still be available through the Worldwide Response Center (WRC) on a "best effort" basis, as is provided for releases older than our Minimum Supported Versions.
• Future Removal Possibility: While there are no immediate plans t

In 2023, according to IDC, Salesforce's market share in CRM reached 21.7%. This company owns a substantial amount of critical corporate business processes and data, so the InterSystems IRIS must have an interoperability connector to fetch data from the Salesforce data catalog. This article will show you how to get any data hosted by Salesforce and create an interoperation production to get data and send it to such targets as files and relational databases.

Hey, community! 👋

We are a team of Stanford students applying technology to make sense of climate action. AI excites us because we know we can quickly analyze huge amounts of text.

As we require more reports on sustainability, such as responsibility reports and financial statements, it can be challenging to cut through the noise of aspirations and get to the real action: what are companies doing

That’s why we built a tool to match companies with climate actions scraped from company sustainability reports.

In this post, we’ll show you how to implement this tool as a chatbot interfacing with

I have been trying to get to grips with the new dot Net Gateway used in IRIS as the import of the DLL to construct proxy classes is no longer supported in IRIS I have a third party DLL that when I try to instantiate throws an error complaining about the class not instantiated as it does not support parameterless constructor .I am using this new

Hi All,

How can I customize the file path of my FTP outbound adapter.

I have a custom business operation that extends "EnsLib.FTP.InboundAdapter", in which I need to update the file path of my FTP server location.

ISCLOGs are a useful debugging tool provided with IRIS that can help you troubleshoot many different issues. For more information about creating these logs, please see the following IRIS documentation: "Logging".

This log is written to the ^ISCLOG global stored in the %SYS namespace. Each global node is a separate event, with additional information sometimes logged to the subnode.

Each entry consists of a list containing the following fields: ID, Category, LogLevel, Message, Namespace, Process ID, Routine, SessionID, Tag, and, TimeAdded. For more details about the different fields, please re

Hello everyone

For those interested, here is an implementation example I used in one of my projects to interoperate with MongoDB using the pymongo package.

iris-mongodb

Interoperates with MongoDB (via pymongo package) with InterSystems IRIS (including outbound adapter)

Remember to import pymongo package.

implementation example for testing here

NAMESPACE> do ##class(custom.python.pymongo.test).TestMongoDBCrud()

for interoperability, use the following adapter in your business operation:

Parameter ADAPTER = "custom.python.pymongo.outboundAdapter";

Parameter INVOCATION = "Queue";

Hi - Recently I have been investigating an annoying situation whilst editing ObjectScript classes or routines in VSCode.

What was happening to me was, as I was typing in lines of code into my class (for example, adding a new Method, or changing the Class signature, or a block of code),  this would quickly get syntax checked, re-formatted, and compiled - inevitably, (since I would be mid-way through my typing), this would generate compilation errors.

Knowing that I was mid-way through adding code, I could simply dismiss this message, however, this soon got very annoying, and conditioned me

I need read only access using a JDBC query to the tables that contain the rules data for a particular interface. I'm having difficulty locating the tables that house the rule data and I'm wondering if someone could help me with that information and any sample queries if possible.

Thanks in advance!

The question is straight forward. Is there a way to do that? I've searched docs but no result

I am building a web application that uses JWT for authentication. I would like to pass the token in cookies instead of the Authorization header.
Is there a way to intercept the request and check the token from the cookies instead of the header? I tried overriding the OnPreDispatch() method and adding it to my dispatch class, but it seems like it never gets executed, as the response returns "Unauthorized" before reaching it.

ClassMethod OnPreDispatch(pURL As%String, pMethod As%String, ByRef pContinue As%Boolean) As%Status
{
        Set token = %request.Cookies.Get("JWT-TOKEN")
        

In the world of APIs, REST is very extended. But what happens when you need more flexibility in your data-fetching strategies? For instance letting the client to choose what fields is going to receive. Enter GraphQL, a query language for your APIs that provides a flexible alternative to REST.

In this post, we will:

• Compare REST and GraphQL.
• Dive into the basics of GraphQL: Queries, Mutations, and HTTP.
• Build a simple GraphQL server implementation using Graphene, SQLAlchemy, and Flask over data in InterSystems IRIS.
• Explore how to deploy your GraphQL server as a WSGI application in IRIS.
