Not so while ago GitHub introduced, ability to very quickly run VSCode in the browser for any repository hosted there. Press the . key on any repository or pull request, or swap .com with .dev in the URL, to go directly to a VS Code environment in your browser.

This VSCode is a light version of the Desktop version but works entirely in Browser. And due to this, it has a limitation for extensions which was allowed to work this way. And let me introduce the new version 1.2.1 of VSCode-ObjectScript extension which now supports running in Browser mode.

Hi Community,

What are the advantages of using multiple namespaces for your code? Learn some of the benefits in this discussion with @Derek Robinson, Senior Online Course Developer, and @Scott Clark, Implementation Specialist:

Using Multiple Namespaces

Hello Intersystems Community,

I'm currently facing an issue with message purging in my Healthcare environment, and I'm seeking your valuable insights and guidance to resolve it.

I've configured a purge task to delete messages older than 30 days, and when I run this task immediately, it doesn't delete anything,

I changed the 'Run task as this user:...', I thought it could be an access issue.. But nothing happened, I even changed the priority, same thing.. 

however when I uncheck the "Keep Integrity" option, it cleared all messages, regardless of the retention period!!.. So can someone pleas

An effective source control solution allows organizations to manage complex codebases, facilitate seamless collaboration within development teams, and streamline deployment processes.

Sonic Healthcare, a leading provider of pathology, radiology, general practice, and corporate medical services, has significantly enhanced visibility and control over its complex environment by implementing Deltanji source control. The tight integration Deltanji provides with InterSystems IRIS and IRIS for Health has been central in achieving these improvements.

I am trying to log certain program data in my ObjectScript REST class, to track down a bug I have. I am comparing two values at runtime, and one result does one thing, and another a different thing. Since this is a REST API class, I have no way of seeing in real time what the value is to debug. I cannot simply run the method in debug in Studio as it will not run properly being a REST class method, nor have the correct incoming header data to correctly replicate what is happening in the API at runtime when being hit by client apps. In other languages like C# or Java, when I would debug an API m

I encountered this quirk when investigating an unrelated issue affecting how Studio projects are handled in VS Code.

When you add the top level of the webapp to a %Studio.Project this inserts a %Studio.ProjectItem with a .DIR suffix. For example, if Studio or VS Code is connected to the USER namespace and you add the /csp/user webapp to a project the new ProjectItem name is "csp/user.DIR".

When you export this project to XML from the project's context menu in Studio, or by calling the %Studio.Project.Export classmethod, the file contains the project definition plus all of the files in the /c

Hi, I am considering making my own swagger json generation based on my rest api implementing the %CSP.REST class.

Before I begin, I was wondering if there is already some kind of support, perhaps in IRIS already, or some tools that might help me.

When I try to run my app as a Docker Container locally it works fine, but I attempted to create a Hugging Face Space to try to deploy my app to and when I run with the Docker SDK selected I run into the following IRIS error report.
Has anyone seen something like this before?

Hi folks,

We are in the process of migrating from Ensemble to IRIS.

After the migration I would like to find all usages of deprecated classes and methods in all of our code. This is to align with the changes in package like %SYSTEM.SQL for example.

Is there an easy way to do this, or maybe a tool that can assist?

Thanks.

I'm trying to leverage the workflow from this repo so I can create an online demo for my project: https://github.com/intersystems-community/iris-google-run-deploy-templa….
I saw that we need to ask for the service account token because I mistakenly tried to obtain my own and obviously was getting permission errors.
So how should I go about getting the token? Thanks!

One good thing about COVID-19 is that it taught people that online work and study are possible. I remember a week before the lockdown started, everyone said that working online was impossible, not secure, etc. And what do you know, it all became possible and "secure" in the blink of an eye. As with everything, it depends on whether a person is capable of organizing his or her day and their work or study attitude. Thus, I became a great believer in online education. As an associate professor who teaches databases, I find it beneficial to my schedule and students. One thing that studying online brings is flexibility. Another one is accepting third-party courses to grant credits to my students 😉 

Considering that I'm teaching the basics of IRIS, I thought a new course, Getting Started with InterSystems IRIS for Coders, could be a relevant addition to my course. Therefore, I decided to follow the new Learning Path and see how it corresponds to my Syllabus and how many ECTS credits I can give for finishing it.

The %Net.SSH.Session class lets you connect to servers using SSH. It's most commonly used with SFTP, especially in the FTP inbound and outbound adaptors.

In this article, I'm going to give a quick example of how to connect to an SSH server using the class, describe your options for authenticating, and how to debug when things go wrong.

Here's an example of making the connection:

Set SSH = ##class(%Net.SSH.Session).%New()
Set return=SSH.Connect("ftp.intersystems.com")​

This creates a new connection, and then connects to the ftp.intersystems.com SFTP server on the default port. At this point

Hi,

I try SFTP connect by ObjectScript.
But occurred this error. Can't connect by SFTP key-pair authentication.

:ERROR #7510: SSH Error '-18': SSH Error [80101012]: Username/PublicKey combination invalid [80101012] at Session.cpp:458,0

Key pair was generate this way.
ssh-keygen -m pem -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa
"id_rsa" and "id_rsa.pub" is generated.
Passphrase is empty.

sftp command is connect successful.
ex.
sftp -i .ssh/id_rsa sftpuser@localhost

And other SFTP client is connect successful too.
ex. Fillezilla.

And password authentication is successful too.

ObjectScript code is this.

Hi all,

Some days ago, I've seen a youtuber talking about how to create a neural network (sorry, is in spanish)

In short, it uses the neural network to learn how to convert degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit.
Degrees Fahrenheit = (degrees Celsius × 9/5) +32
In this video, he uses Python to create the neural network, where he creates a table with the values ​​of degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit.
Then he does 1000 trainings to the model that he has created, when he consults the prediction at a value that is not in the table that he has used to train, it gives a correct (or fairly close

I have created some example Ansible modules that add functionality above and beyond simply using the Ansible builtin Command or Shell modules to manage IRIS. You can use these as an inspiration for creating your own modules. My hope is that this will be the start of creating an IRIS community Ansible collection.

• I am assuming you are already familiar with Ansible. For example see the community post: Ansible Community Post
• This post follows up on my 2024 Global Summit presentation.
• The source code and demo scripts are available on GitHub here: GitHub

I expect some editing and changes during

I installed this to 'try' to learn the Ensemble (Interoperability module). I selected the Developer install, which ran without issue. I have all of the tray options, and, they run without issue. However, when I try to simple 'create' a new BPL or DTL, I get the 5002 <PROTECT> error-

*
I have no idea if there was a problem with the install, or if there are more things I need to do, to get this application to work. Any suggestions would be welcome.

I'll preface this by saying I'm not sure if I found a bug or because I'm somehow misusing IrisVectorStore.
Basically I have code from the regular llama-index module working in my Python project which has SimpleDirectoryReader objects similar in nature to the demo I mentioned (https://github.com/intersystems-community/iris-vector-search/blob/main/…). And I have other code working that can add new users to a SQL table in Iris.
I tried to use IRISVectorStore in a manner similar to the below excerpt from the demo code but I just changed the table name to the name of my user table

After performing Concurrent External Backup and restarting the instance, if I want to perform an incremental backup of Concurrent External Backup again.

Should I redo the following steps?

1.  Do CLRINC^DBACK("QUIET")

2.  Set x=$$BACKUP^DBACK("","E","Dirty external backup - incrementals must be applied.","","","")

3. Set x=$$BACKUP^DBACK("","I","Nightly","test.bck","N","bck.log","QUIET","N","Y")

I am a first time Python Contest participant and am interested in potentially implementing the community idea found in https://ideas.intersystems.com/ideas/DPI-I-542 if it is something relevant to Python.
Would anyone be able to shed a bit of light on what the desired outcome of that idea being implemented is? There were a lot of upvotes on that idea but there wasn't very much information in it. Thanks!

The invention and popularization of Large Language Models (such as OpenAI's GPT-4) has launched a wave of innovative solutions that can leverage large volumes of unstructured data that was impractical or even impossible to process manually until recently. Such applications may include data retrieval (see Don Woodlock's ML301 course for a great intro to Retrieval Augmented Generation), sentiment analysis, and even fully-autonomous AI agents, just to name a few!

In this article, I want to demonstrate how the Embedded Python feature of IRIS can be used to directly interface with the Python OpenA

I found myself in the not-so-comfortable situation of working with a Linux system on which someone had accidentally disabled user access to the Linux shell. HealthConnect was running, servicing hundreds of interfaces. To resolve the access issue, though, we needed to bring the host down for the application of a fix.

Without the shell, the iris command is not available to control the instance, so we were faced with the potential of shutting down the server ungracefully. We wanted to avoid that if possible ...

The ^SHUTDOWN routine was historically an option for shutting down Cache, but you ne

We have installed IRIS on a separate server that we access remotely and copied all code and data to it so we can test IRIS before we do the move.We develop directly on the server.We Use VsCode to code but sometimes we might need to go to cache studio for some tasks.

We were interested in git for Shared Development Environments, we have installed it on a server with IRIS 2021 and configured it by following the instructions and videos of InterSystems summits we found online. We initialised a local repository on the server, added some files to start testing branches.

InterSystems FAQ rubric

Use the ErrorList query of the SYS.ApplicationError class.

• Note 1: Runs in the %SYS namespace.
• Note 2: This is a non-stored utility, so we use the %ResultSet class rather than %SQL.Statement.

An example of command execution is as follows.

USER>set$namespace="%SYS"   //equal to zn "%SYS"%SYS>set rset=##class(%ResultSet).%New()

%SYS>set rset.ClassName="SYS.ApplicationError"%SYS>set rset.QueryName="ErrorList"// The first argument of the query is the namespace name, the second argument is the date (in MM/DD/YYYY format).%SYS>do rset.Execute("USER"

Hi all, I am trying to use Polybase in SQL Server 2019 to access an external Cache/IRIS Database. I have followed the initial steps of enabling Polybase, creating a Database, DB scoped credential and then an External Data Source. These steps have not caused any issues and appear to be successful, I am using the same DSN we use for a Linked Server connection that works normally. I am running into an Error when trying to Create an External Table. The error is a generic Native Code 469 "Driver Not Capable".
