The test data generator is mainly used to generate test data, which can be used to generate test data for tables and fields to meet the needs of different fields according to different types, currently supports Text, Number, Enum, UUID, regular expression, Multiple date and time formats, and Time Seven different types
 

How to use:

1. Select a namespace, you can see all the tables under the namespace,

2. Select the table we want to generate test data from, click on the field, and select the type on the right

Question omer · Sep 29, 2024

I created and then compiled a routine using the %Routine library 


s routine = ##class(%Routine).%New(fileName_"."_extension)
d routine.Write(parsedRule)
//s status = routine.Save()
s status = routine.SaveStream(,.refresh)
if ($$$ISERR(status)) throw status

Now the routine compiles successfully and as a result it is saved on the database.
I can now use from anywhere:


set r = ##class(%Routine).%New("myGeneratedCode.mac")

w r.SizeGet()

and it would output the size.
but for the question: How do i run a method in that file?

I want to try out iris-DataViz app to visualize my own data. I cloned the repo and docker-compose up -d in AWS. IRIS portal works, but on port 8051 I get nothing. I checked my AWS security groups. I reversed IRIS webserver port and 8051 and I can connect to Management portal using port 8051. I don't understand what is refusing connection on port 8051 running in iris-DataViz container.

In this article, we’ll dive into the inner workings of the database management tool, exploring the architecture and technologies that power it. Understanding how the application functions behind the scenes will give you insight into its design, how it manages databases, tables, and how the API interacts with data.

We will discuss the core technologies used, including InterSystems IRIS as the primary database and Redis for caching. Additionally, we’ll break down the structure of the tables used and explain how the system handles data creation, retrieval, and manipulation through the REST API.

Question Alin Soare · Sep 26, 2024

Hi,

I tried to create what is know as a "class variable".  As far as I understand the only analogy to class variables would be the "class parameters".

I tried to use a class parameter but I cannot change its value at runtime.

Parameter STATUSES = {{}};

Property repr As %String;

Method %OnNew(repr) As %Status
{
    w ##class(Test...).#STATUSES
    w ..#STATUSES

    ...

}

When I get ..#STATUSES, it is a string like "5@%Library.DynamicObject". This is a string, not a pointer to an object.

I tried to define STATUSES as Parameter STATUSES  As CONFIGVALUE = {{}};  and change the value with

I am trying to track down a problem we saw this morning with our TEST environment. We had a momentary issue where InterSystems HealthShare Health Connect could not connect correctly to LDAP. When we tried to login and could not connect to LDAP, the system would Delete our users.

the Test LDAP function would return a "Can't contact LDAP server". I went through the Certificates, made sure they had the correct permissions and were not expired.

At the OS level we had no problems using our LDAP accounts to authenticate against the server, so we know the server could connect to LDAP, the trouble was

Problems with Strings

I am accessing IRIS databases with JDBC (or ODBC) using Python. I want to fetch the data into a pandas dataframe to manipulate the data and create charts from it. I ran into a problem with string handling while using JDBC. This post is to help if anyone else has the same issues. Or, if there is an easier way to solve this, let me know in the comments!

I am using OSX, so I am unsure how unique my problem is. I am using Jupyter Notebooks, although the code would generally be the same if you used any other Python program or framework.

There's an easy new way to add certificate authority (CA) certificates to your SSL/TLS configurations on InterSystems IRIS 2019.1 (and 2018.1.2) on Windows and Mac.  You can ask IRIS to use the operating system's certificate store by entering:

%OSCertificateStore

in the field for "File containing Trusted Certificate Authority X.509 certificate(s)".   Here's an image of how to do this in the portal:

And here's a link to the documentation which describes this.  It's in the list of options under "File containing trusted Certificate Authority certificate(s)".

That's all you need to do!

Note from Author
Since writing this article InterSystems has introduced native support for the OpenTelemetry standards with IRIS 2025.1.  Whilst this article helps to articulate how IRIS and Python can be used to extend IRIS's native capability, if you are specifically looking to implement OpenTelemetry, please head to this article developed by my colleague @Luis-Ángel Pérez-Ramos: 

A customer recently asked if IRIS supported OpenTelemetry as they where seeking to measure the time that IRIS implemented SOAP Services take to complete.

Question Anthony Master · Jun 4, 2024

When developing productions there are many places that we input endpoint information (IP/port) especially when there are dozens of operations going to the same environment. What later happens is that the IP changes and we have to then go into each operation and update the IP.

Is there a way to create a "global variable" for an endpoint, something like `$ehr_IP` and then use that and update it in a single place?
I'm aware of defaults, but I don't want a default as this is not a "default" but is the value to use in place of the variable.
Context: I'm very new to InterSystems Health Connect but

I have a business process with an "ASTM" class : 

Inside this process i have a business rule. Inside this rule i want to get a specific field inside the message :

So i will use the same logic for HL7 messages. Here is the "path" to the segment and the field : 

So i will use this inside the routing rule like i did for HL7 messages. 

i have tried MUCH prefix like "ASTM" "X12" "ESI.X12" ..... I only got errors like << PROPERTY DOES NOT EXIST >> 

Can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong ?

IRIS Health Monitor is part of System Monitor (see here).
The intention is to further process the captured sensor reading in order to identify the "health" of a system by checking the sensor reading values against pre-defined Base, Min and Max absolute values, and alert accordingly. Additionally,  instead of absolute values, you can create Charts (which can be different for different periods of a day), that contain a learned minimum and maximum value after a time spent by the system (at least 24 hours) analysing sensor readings.

The sensor readings included in Health Monitor are defined here.

What is Journaling?

Journaling is a critical IRIS feature and a part of what makes IRIS a reliable database. While journaling is fundamental to IRIS, there are nuances, so I wrote this article to summarize (more briefly than our documentation which has all the details) what you need to know. I realize the irony of saying the 27 minute read is brief.

Every modification to a journaled database (sets and kills) is recorded with its timestamp in a journal file.This runs in parallel with writes to the databases and the write image journal (WIJ) for redundancy.

Hi Developers!

Recently we launched InterSystems Package Manager - ZPM. And one of the intentions of the ZPM is to let you package your solution and submit into the ZPM registry to make its deployment as simple as "install your-package" command.

To do that you need to introduce module.xml file into your repository which describes what is your InterSystems IRIS package consists of.

This article describes different parts of module.xml and will help you to craft your own.

I will start from samples-objectscript package, which installs into IRIS the Sample ObjectScript application and could be installed with:

zpm: USER>install samples-objectscript

It is probably the simplest package ever and here is the module.xml which describes the package:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Export generator="Cache" version="25">
  <Document name="samples-objectscript.ZPM">
    <Module>
      <Name>samples-objectscript</Name>
      <Version>1.0.0</Version>
      <Packaging>module</Packaging>
      <SourcesRoot>src</SourcesRoot>
      <Resource Name="ObjectScript.PKG"/>
    </Module>

Hello Community,

In this article, I will outline and illustrate the process of implementing ObjectScript within embedded Python. This discussion will also reference other articles related to embedded Python, as well as address questions that have been beneficial to my learning journey.

As you may know, the integration of Python features within IRIS has been possible for quite some time. This article will focus on how to seamlessly incorporate ObjectScript with embedded Python.

Essentially, embedded Python serves as an extension that allows for independent writing and execution.
