In the WRC, we frequently see customers contact us because their Web Gateway is unable to serve web pages. This article will explain a frequent reason why these errors can occur, and explain some tools which can be used to debug the problem. This explanation is focused on the Web Gateway serving InterSystems IRIS instances, but the same explanation should apply to the CSP Gateway serving Caché instances as well.

Hello Community,

Is it possible to track or determine where the global variable was set (routine or class) in a form of like label+offset^routine?

Learning LLM Magic

The world of Generative AI has been pretty inescapable for a while, commercial models running on paid Cloud instances are everywhere.  With your data stored securely on-prem in IRIS, it might seem daunting to start getting the benefit of experimentation with Large Language Models without having to navigate a minefield of Governance and rapidly evolving API documentation.   If only there was a way to bring an LLM to IRIS, preferably in a very small code footprint.

I set up all the credentials and IP, Port, Namespace, SSL/TLS Server Name and .ini file but I still cannot connect to db. and It says 

Iris ODBC][State : 08S01][Native Code 459]
[C:\Windows\system32\odbcad32.exe]
Connection via irisconnect failed: 
Matching SSL server config not found in ssldefs.ini or registry

In this article, exceptions are covered.

Working with Exceptions

Instead of returning a %Status response, you can raise and throw an Exception. You are then responsible for catching the exception and validating it. IRIS provides five main classes to handle exceptions effectively. Additionally, you can create custom exception class definition based on your needs.

These exceptions are different from %Status, so you can't directly/efficiently use the exception object with $SYSTEM.OBJ.DisplayError() or $SYSTEM.Status.DisplayError()

My usecase is sorting and removing duplicates and getting count from a file that has json messages as a individual rows.

I am currently planning to use pandas for this purpose as its really fast.

You may encounter errors during any point of program execution, and there are several ways to raise and handle these exceptions. In this article, we'll explore how exceptions are handled efficiently in IRIS.

One of the most commonly used return types is %Status, which is used by methods to indicate success or failure. Let's begin by discussing %Status values.

Working with %Status

The %Status return type is used to represent errors or success. Many system methods return %Status when an error occurs.

Overview

With the help of SQL, you can build, train, and manage machine learning models directly in the database with InterSystems IRIS's robust IntegratedML tool. Using SQL examples that represent your data, we will go over IntegratedML configuration and how it is used in practical situations in this article.

Why am I writting this?

Last year I made an article for starters on using embedded python. Later, it started a little discussion on how to return values with python and I found some interesting observations that are worth writing a little article. Also, hopefully I can reach more people by writing this.

Possible situations

There are two things you'll need to care about when returning a value with python. The first is the type you're trying to return and the second is where you're returning it.

Hello, I have a problem with a call and I would need some help.

When I call an API with the SendFormDataArray method of the EnsLib.HTTP.OutboundAdapter adapter, I pass it a %Net.HttpRequest object and I receive the following error:

ERROR #5002: ObjectScript error: <SUBSCRIPT>MatchSuffix+1^%Net.HttpRequest.1 ^%qPublicSuffix("")

I have correctly entered the url in my business operation and I pass it in the last parameter of the SendFormDataArray method. Do you have any idea, please?

Method XRPUAuthentification(pInput As ANCV.msg.BO.XRPUAuthentificationDmde, Output pOutput As ANCV.msg.BO.

From the previous article, we identified some issues when working with JSON in SQL.

IRIS offers a dedicated feature for handling JSON documents, called DocDB.

InterSystems IRIS® data platform DocDB is a facility for storing and retrieving database data. It is compatible with, but separate from, traditional SQL table and field (class and property) data storage and retrieval. It is based on JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) which provides support for web-based data exchange. InterSystems IRIS provides support for developing DocDB databases and applications in REST and in ObjectScript, as well as providing SQL support for creating or querying DocDB data.

By its nature, InterSystems IRIS Document Database is a schema-less data structure. That means that each document has its own structure, which may differ from other documents in the same database. This has several benefits when compared with SQL, which requires a pre-defined data structure.

The word “document” is used here as a specific industry-wide technical term, as a dynamic data storage structure. “Document”, as used in DocDB, should not be confused with a text document, or with documentation.

Let's explore how DocDB can help store JSON in the database and integrate it into projects that rely solely on xDBC protocols.

Dear Community,

I am trying to convert a base64 encoded string to a pdf. I have tried a lot of possible ways, but never succeeded. I am able to decode the base64 using $System.Encryption.Base64Decode but I am not able to convert it and store this in a path.

Can anybody help me out here?

Thanks.

Hi,

I found an issue while fetching records from FHIR DB, I am getting below error thou FHIR repository have the records with the corresponding id

{

    "resourceType": "OperationOutcome",

    "issue": [

        {

            "severity": "error",

            "code": "not-found",

            "diagnostics": "<HSFHIRErr>ResourceNotFound",

            "details": {

                "text": "No resource with type 'Appointment' and id '21'"

            }

        }

    ]

}

Is there a way to compile all of the *.int routines from a command line and get an output of any compile errors?

Host Variables are a rather common programming feature in many implementations of SQL. 
A recent question in DC made me aware that in IRIS, Caché, Ensemble, ... 
host variables just exist within embedded SQL

>  You can supply host variables for Embedded SQL queries only. <

Related examples are included in the available Documentation

This is a description  for a workaround if you don't / can't use embedded SQL.

Import from DC-PT, @Edilson Eberle Carvalho

We have some *.mac routines and we need to preserve their source,
as these routines have intellectual authorship and can only be used per session
with the right to use (they cannot be viewed or edited).
The question: how to keep only the routine object in the IRIS namespace,
without interfering with its execution?

All pods are assigned a Quality of Service (QoS). These are 3 levels of priority pods are assigned within a node.

The levels are as following:

1) Guaranteed: High Priority

2) Burstable: Medium Priority

3) BestEffort: Low Priority

It is a way of telling the kubelet what your priorities are on a certain node if resources need to be reclaimed. This great GIF below by Anvesh Muppeda explains it.

If resources need to be freed, firstly pods with Best Effort QoS will be evicted, then those with Burstable, and finally those with Guaranteed.

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to get back into shape with IRIS. My current goal is to practice with ObjectScript and VS Code. I installed both on my Mac, and everything worked like a charm—perhaps that's why I'm still a big fan of Unix.

For the past week, however, I've been trying to set up IRIS and VS Code on a Lenovo Legion with a Ryzen 7 processor running Windows 11 Pro, but without success. While IRIS itself is running perfectly, I'm unable to connect to it from VS Code to store ObjectScript routines. The closest I've gotten, after multiple attempts at modifying the settings.

Hi everyone,
I am trying to create a listen server in Cache 2016 that can capture data from a specific port. Can someone guide me on how to set this up, including handling incoming connections and reading data from the port? Any advice or example code would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

In a containerized environment, you can manage your container time via the TZ variable or via the /etc/timezone and /etc/localtime directories:

environment:
      - TZ=Europe/Paris

volumes:
    - "/etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro"
    - "/etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro"

You can find complete examples here:

My main goal of this article was to prove the use of InterSystems IRIS for Health for REST FHIR interoperability between multiple applications. In this use case, some initiating application makes a REST call to IRIS for Health (which is merely a passthrough for REST calls) to retrieve FHIR data from an Oracle Health R4 FHIR repository. Ideally, it simplifies the syntax for calling the Oracle Health APIs.

Hello,

I'm trying to add another segment to an HL7 MDM message. More specifically OBXgrp(1).OBX. The addition itself works,. When I look at the message in the trace, the segment with the content can be seen. However, it is not displayed as an OBX segment.

Build Map Status = 'ERROR <EnsEDI>ErrMapRequired: Missing required OBXgrp(1) element at segment 6'
'ERROR <EnsEDI>ErrMapSegUnrecog: Unrecognized Segment 6:'' found after segment 5 (TXA)'

// HL7-Nachricht klonen
    Set response = msg.%ConstructClone()

// OBX-Segment erstellen
    Set tSegmentOBX = ##class(EnsLib.HL7.Segment).

Hey Community,

Enjoy the new video on InterSystems Developers YouTube:

⏯ VS Code Server side editing vs Client side editing

I am looking for a link to documentation that shows what responses are available to commands like:

^%GI, ^%GO, ^%RO, ^%RIMF

tried search in docs.intersystems.com "https://docs.intersystems.com/iris20243/csp/docbook/Doc.Results.cls?doc…"

So far had a suggestion just go to the code to figure it out.

While working on getting JSON support for some Python libraries, I discovered some capabilities IRIS provided.

• JSON_OBJECT - A conversion function that returns data as a JSON object.
• JSON_ARRAY - A conversion function that returns data as a JSON array.
• IS JSON - Determines if a data value is in JSON format.
• JSON_TABLE function returns a table that can be used in a SQL query by mapping JSON.
• JSONPath support - is a query language for querying values in JSON.

Hello,

Very much keen if we could gather the per namespace and business component utilization of InterSystems cache server.

For e. I have a PRD server where its CPU utilization is at max all the time and I want to know which namespace and its business process (service/Operation/Process) is utilizing what number of CPU and memory.

** I can get the CPU and Memory utilization per Cache.exe and PID, but not able to get the Namespace and ConfiguratioName to which that particular PID belongs.

Thank you,

I am a volunteer at a nonprofit that is attempting to connect to a product that uses InterSystems Cache (Clinisys LIMS). I have not used this database before, but I have used many others (MS-SQL, Oracle, etc.). I am hoping IRIS is compatible enough with Cache for this project. 

I downloaded IRIS. I learned about Terminal [IRIS]. Using it I was able to create a new table, insert data, and retrieve it. I also used the Management Portal to query the new table. It also returned the data.

Next I attempted to connect with Visual Studio (MS VS 2022 Profesional). I downloaded the InterSystems.Data.

I am currently experiencing frustration with trying to Authenticate an Active Directory account through JDBC as the Hospital System moves from OnPrem SQL Server to using Azure SQL Server with Microsoft Entra Authentication.

Microsoft cannot give me a straight answer of what is required from a JDBC standpoint to authenticate from a Linux environment.

I am working with WRC, but we are both struggling to find the specific answer for JDBC. If I use my local desktop and JDBC to connect through DBeaver I don't have an issue.

When you deploy code from a repo, class (file) deletion might not be reflected by your CICD system.
Here's a simple one-liner to automatically delete all classes in a specified package that have not been imported. It can be easily adjusted for a variety of adjunct tasks:

set packages = "USER.*,MyCustomPackage.*"
set dir = "C:\InterSystems\src\"
set sc = $SYSTEM.OBJ.LoadDir(dir,"ck", .err, 1, .loaded)
set sc = $SYSTEM.OBJ.Delete(packages _ ",'" _ $LTS($LI($LFS(loaded_",",".cls,"), 1, *-1), ",'"), "/generated=0", .err2)

The first command compiles classes and also returns a list of loaded classes. The second command deletes all classes from specified packages, except for the classes loaded just before that. Any generated classes are also skipped since they won't be in the loaded list.
