#InterSystems IRIS

I've just stumbled across this post. I am an aspiring developer and one of my first few projects is a HL7 v2 message generator. It takes in a message template and then you can edit and create bulk messages from it. 

Simply choose which segment to edit, specify the field position and then you can add a CSV of values. test, test2 and so on. You can choose to download the messages or display them in your browser. It also provides a JSON file showing you which new values are grouped. Not sure of all the use cases but I built it for a bit of fun over a weekend! 

Unfortunately it doesn't have the

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to connect my Laravel application with the InterSystems IRIS Data Platform using ODBC.I need help setting up the ODBC connection and querying the database properly. What is the proper way to configure Laravel to work with an ODBC connection to InterSystems IRIS?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hello my Friends,

I have a question, I have a data like this

And I want to create a display like this, which I can put a status column beside the Item Column

The status become new, if there's no previous item, and if there's a same item after the first one, the status become Old

Does anyone could help me ?

I need to display it without subquery if possible

Thank You

I have a query that returns around 6000 records that I need to go through and update another MS SQL Table. I would like to execute this once a day. How do you set MaxRowsToGet on a EnsLib.SQL.InboundAdapter service?

Thanks

Hello,

I was just trying to get to the bottom of a TLS config - we have an interface with a TLS config that has had 'Server certificate verification' set to 'On', however the cert file specified either did not exist or contained a cert that was expired.

Does anyone know what the behavior is for this typically? I would expect this to not allow traffic on the interface, however this has been working fine for a few years now with an invalid cert specified for 'Server certificate verification' and set to 'On'.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently experimenting with the SQL Gateway Connection, CREATE FOREIGN SERVER, and the THROUGH command (IRIS Documentation). To speed up my tests, I’ve combined several DemoDataSets in a Docker container and would like to automate the creation of SQL Gateway Connections using code. 

(By the way, if you’re interested, the Docker container is available here: Demo DBs IRIS.)

To achieve this, I’m using SQL to create a connection by running a command like INSERT INTO %Library.sys_SQLConnection. While this successfully displays the connection in the Management Portal, it cannot

Earlier this year I announced availability of a VS Code extension for coding in ObjectScript, Embedded Python or SQL using the notebook paradigm popularized by Jupyter. Today I published a maintenance release to correct a "getting started" problem.

Here's a video of the installation steps from the extension's README:

(video superseded by an update in a later comment)

Why not try it for yourself?

When developing a new Interoperability Production, it is quite natural that settings are initially added in the Production.

However, as soon as you want to move the Production from development to a test or staging environment, it becomes clear that some settings like HTTP Servers, IP addresses and/or ports need to be changed. In order to avoid these settings being overwritten during a redeployment later on, it is essential that you move these settings from the Production to the System Default settings.

Creating System Default settings manually is possible, but will become hard when you have

Dear community, my company use intersystems iris, a old version of 2019 and centos 7.9

At the moment, we are faced with a rather strange luck of iris.

Every day during working hours, we receive a error that iris primary cannot transfer the journal to the backup node.

We have availability monitoring, these errors do not affect availability in any way, but I still wanted to analyze this error.

I understand that the severity of this error is only 1, but Can someone share a diagnostic method this error?

The best way to list, edit, save and delete globals is using an IDE. Now, it is possible if you use VSCode. It is also possible to save globals using yaml files. Perform the following steps:

1. Get an InterSystems IRIS instance and install the application iris-global-yaml: 

zpm:USER>install iris-global-yaml

2. If you just to want an InterSystems IRIS trial for tests git clone and run on docker:

git clone https://github.com/yurimarx/iris-global-yaml.git
docker-compose up -d --build

OK.... based on what I have done.... I am able to 

1. Query Track information by making use of the Spotify API

2. Store the necessary data into my own album, artists, and track table

so.... what next?🤔 How about I set up my own REST API service on my IRIS for the other people to query my table?🤔🤨

ok... 1st... start from document Introduction to Creating REST Services

so we have 2 ways to implement a REST service on

You'll find the original text and all my Advent of Code efforts in different programming languages in https://bitbucket.org/janihur/advent-of-code/src/master/

ObjectScript code discussed here is found in https://bitbucket.org/janihur/advent-of-code/src/master/objectscript

I have been using ObjectScript only on last 1,5 years maybe 30% of my working time but the code at work is very different than in these puzzles. You can find my random code snippets and learning notes from https://github.com/janihur/objectscript-ex

This is the first time using ObjectScript during the contest.

We have released IPM 0.9.0. I previously remarked on some of the history and reasoning here; to summarize, this is a big release for two reasons: it represents a long-overdue reunification of our internal and community-driven work around IRIS-centric ObjectScript package management, and it has some backwards incompatibilities. There are several necessary backwards incompatibilities in our roadmap, and we've lumped them together; this will not be some new norm.

Under the hood, the class naming and package structure has completely changed.

Hi fellow developers in InterSystems IRIS!

I'm often being asked, especially related to technical bonuses we encourage for every Open Exchange contest why do we constantly give bonuses for Docker, IPM and ObjectScript Quality pass.

In fact, this is very easy to answer.

Last Chapter: Creating a REST client to get Tracks from Spotify REST API - Part3 Get some data (e.g. Artists)

Git link: https://github.com/ecelg/InterSystems-IRIS-as-a-Spotify-REST-client

OK we create a method to get data and lets try to get some Tracks 😁

Now open a terminal and test the code

Run the following line

w ##class(rest.utli.requestUtli).getdata("Spotify","/search","offset=5&limit=10&query=Shape%20of%20you&type=track&market=SG")

ooooo no seems there is huge among of data returns.....😥

I would like to know what information can be found in 1 track....🤔 how about only query 1 track?

let's try

Recently, I come up an idea in my mind that how can I put my playlist on IRIS.🧐

At the same time, I was told to pay for my Spotify subscription💸💸... ooo.. how about to get some data from the Spotify API... so I started to do study about it.

Like most of the development, let's start from Documentation of  the API https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api

In order to get the data, i am required to request an access token from for the token endpoint URL.🧐

curl -X POST "https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token" \

I recently met an ages old issue related to code maintenance:

• You have access to your IRIS server just over ODBC/JDBC
• no VSCode access, no Studio access
• no (Web-)Terminal access

But you need to take a look on Classes or Routines or Globals !!
Anyhow SQL is your friend.

• First you need a simple table as temporary text store.

CREATEGLOBALTEMPORARYTABLE  arcc.txt (line VARCHAR(32000))

Not a thrilling action.

• Next you export your code to local file and import it to your table

CREATEPROCEDURE arcc.show (IN code VARCHAR()) 
  RETURNSINTEGERLANGUAGE OBJECTSCRIPT 
 {
	setfile="code.t

Hello everyone,

I hope you're doing well!

I wanted to share that a new JDBC driver version has been added to the iris-driver-distribution repository on GitHub. The filename is intersystems-jdbc-3.10.1.jar.

However, I noticed that the commit message doesn’t provide much information about the IRIS version this driver is associated with. Could anyone clarify if this is a final release? Is it production-ready? Additionally, are there details about the bugs it addresses or the new features it introduces?

For comparison, the JDBC driver included in the Docker image as of today (23/11/2024)

Last Chapter: Creating a REST client to get Tracks from Spotify REST API - Part2 Save and Refresh Token

Git link: https://github.com/ecelg/InterSystems-IRIS-as-a-Spotify-REST-client
 

Ok, now I am pretty sure i have a valid token for making query.😀

Shall we try to query something from the API.

Again, its time to go through the API document https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/tutorials/getting-started

Search for Request artist data

the suggested code is like the following

curl "https://api.spotify.com/v1/artists/4Z8W4fKeB5YxbusRsdQVPb" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer

Last Chapter:  Creating a REST client to get Tracks from Spotify REST API - Part1 Check out token

Git link: https://github.com/ecelg/InterSystems-IRIS-as-a-Spotify-REST-client

Ok... Now we can check out a token but it will be expired in 3600 seconds.

There are 2 questions come up🤔

1. How to save this token????🙄

2. How to refresh this token????🤨🤔 

Lets come back to the API document https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/tutorials/getting-started

Base on my understanding, this piece of API do not have a token called refresh_token, as a result, we can assume the logic like following

OK

Hi!

Suppose I have full access to InterSystems IRIS database instance A and want to export a consistent part of the data and import it into another InterSystems IRIS instance B. Classes are equal.

What are the most general and convenient options for me?

I'm trying to use embedded python code that receives an Iris %Stream.GlobalBinary and uses image manipulation library PIL.

Because PIL can't work with IRIS %Stream, I need to convert the image to python bytes.

This process seems to have very bad performance compared to writing to a file and then loading it from a file in python.

Is there a better way to send a stream into python? The conversion code I'm using is below.

Thanks.

defiris_stream_to_bytes(stream):
	stream.Rewind()
	s = ""whilenot stream.AtEnd:
		r = stream.Read(1024)
		s += r
	b = bytearray()
	b.extend(map(ord, s))
	return b

Recently, I needed to run WebGateway on an additional port but with a twist - this port should publish only one web application.
At first, I thought about configuring Web Gateway to allow only specific web applications (~urls), but Web Gateway configuration is per Apache configuration:

LoadModule csp_module_sa "/opt/webgateway/bin/CSPa24.so"
CSPModulePath "/opt/webgateway/bin/"
CSPConfigPath "/opt/webgateway/bin/"

And while LoadModule has two allowed contexts, server config and virtual host, the csp module must be loaded once in the server context.

But we can use two VirtualHosts and here's how:

The InterSystems platforms have always offered dynamic documentation of the packages and classes in a namespace, a feature known informally as Documatic. But what if you need to publish this class reference information on a website without requiring the site to be connected to an IRIS server containing the actual classes?

For my entry to the December 2024 Developer Community “Bringing Ideas to Reality” contest I decided to implement the idea of a generator that produces a static set of class reference pages . And since I chose to leverage the well-established Doxygen tool I named my tool Doxyge

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.

I am attempting to create a Foreign Server/Table so I can pull some information in from MS SQL server via JDBC connection, but as soon as I create the Server/Table and logout the Foreign Server disappears.

logout, then run 

the documentation - Defining Foreign Tables | Using InterSystems SQL | InterSystems IRIS Data Platform 2024.3 mentions "A user that creates a foreign server must have the %MANAGE_FOREIGN_SERVER administrative privilege" but I am not finding that security setting to give to my role.
