Hi All,

I am writing few test for REST API need help from you guys as  I am new to Objectscript. I want to implement mocking into testcase but didn't get any good resource for the same. please help me

In case you're planning on deploying IRIS For Health, or any of our containerized products, via the IKO on OpenShift, I wanted to share some of the hurdles we had to overcome.

As with any IKO based installation, we first need to deploy the IKO itself. However we were getting this error:

Warning FailedCreate 75s (x16 over 3m59s) replicaset-controller Error creating: pods "intersystems-iris-operator-amd-f6757dcc-" is forbidden: unable to validate against any security context constraint:

Hello everyone,

I am looking for the syntax or the way to use a class created in the "BNA" Namespace (my application) from the %SYS Namespace.

Here is the context:

I have a "BNA" application contained in the "BNA" NS, this application provides a user creation functionality. This feature creates both the user in a table in the application and in the Iris system.

I created an initialization script for my database to be able to reset it at will, this script starts by emptying the database of this data, then initializes the basic data. We are testing the user creation functionality, which we a

Hi Developers!

I want to share with you the approach you can use working with Unit Testing which I personally find very convenient and robust.

Will not talk much here about Unit Testing, we have documentation, enough good articles on the topic not only on the Internet but here on Developers Community too,  e.g. this one.

How can you manage the Unit Testing of your ZPM module?

This is pretty handy with ZPM. It has a special command "test" which runs all the tests you mentioned in the module. You can execute it as shown below:

zpm:USER>module-name test

And this command runs all the tests you mentioned in module.xml.

Let's see how it works.

Hi VSCode users!

Just want to check with you, is this settings.json file ideal enough if I:

1. Want VSCode to connect to IRIS in docker?

2. Want to use VSCode SQL Tool?

The connection settings file:

{
    "files.associations": {
    
        "Dockerfile*": "dockerfile",
        "iris.script": "objectscript"
      },
    "objectscript.conn" :{
      "ns": "IRISAPP",
      "username":"_SYSTEM",
      "password": "SYS",
      "docker-compose": {
        "service": "iris",

Online document says: TUNE TABLE updates the SQL table definition (and therefore requires privileges to alter the table definition). Commonly, TUNE TABLE also updates the corresponding persistent class definition. This allows the gathered statistics to be used by the query optimizer without requiring a class compilation.

I don't get the point. If I run tune table once with  class update and next time no class update,  does this cause inconsistce of sql definition and class definition? What happen if I recompile the class ? will table stats in class definition will overwrite which in the sql d

You can use the %IndexBuilder class to perform index rebuilding using multiple processes.

Here is an example for the purpose of defining the standard index HomeStateIdx for the Home_State (state information of contact address) column of Sample.Person.

The steps are as follows:

1. Hide the index name to be added/rebuilt from the query optimizer.

>write$system.SQL.SetMapSelectability("Sample.Person","HomeStateIdx",0)
1

2. Add %IndexBuilder to the rightmost superclass of the class definition that defines the new index.

In the WRC, we often see customers contact us because they are having been provided a .PPK file for use with SFTP connections, but they don’t know how to use that key within InterSystems IRIS. This article will explain why this represents such a problem, and explain how to use the .PPK key to generate a Private / Public Key pair in a format recognized by InterSystems IRIS.

The Problem:

You are trying to use InterSystems IRIS to connect to a remote SFTP server. The SFTP Server admins have provided you with a key file saved in .PPK format, and say that this key should be used to connect to the

Killer presentations are essential for opening doors, doing business and delighting customers. These types of presentations move away from the traditional and tiring topics and portions of texts, or even pictures of happy people to get closer to the interests of their audience.The best presentations materialize what customers are looking for into something they can see working. Instead of promises, examples in execution and the ability to be very close to what you want to do.

In this article I will show you how to structure your presentations, use some established techniques, but above all, h

Work Queue Manager (WQM) is a feature of InterSystems IRIS that enables you to improve performance by distributing work to multiple concurrent processes programmatically. The idea is that you split the work into chunks, and WQM distributes the chunks across worker processes and can provide the info that the work is done.

However, recently, I got an interesting question: there's a large logical transaction composed of ~1,000,000 individual objects and SQL inserts and updates. Some updates are CPU-intensive, so the original idea was to use WQM to split an update into chunks to speed things up. 

But, here's a catch: if one of the individual 1,000,000 changes fails (there's a variety of application-level checks so that it can fail, and that's not even that abnormal a behavior), the entire transaction must be rolled back. That creates a problem: each chunk must report success before committing their individual transactions, and someone must get all these reports and decide if we are committing or not.

Unfortunately, it looks like WQM does not have a bidirectional communication between workers and manager, so I suggested an approach using events:

1. Start jobs.
2. Wait for all jobs to report success using $System.Event.WaitMsg().
3. Send Commit or Rollback using the $System.Event.Signal().

Hi,

I have an odd problem that occurs when I'm trying to import lookup tables in the XML format into Studio.

I store my files in in C:\CodeRepository.

I can manually import these lookup tables using "Import local..." option in the InterSystems Studio. 

However, when I'm trying to import them using command in terminal: do $system.OBJ.LoadDir("C:\CodeRepository\","ck")

I'm getting the following error:

Loading file C:\CodeRepository\Title.lut.xml as xml
ERROR #5863: Another user has 'Title.LUT' open for editing.
  > ERROR #6315: Errors reporting importing XML subelement in file 'C:\CodeReposi

• The idea of this package is to compare the performance of columnar storage    inside IRIS without wrapping it to some foreign platform that is not my world   
• In addition, I do not want to measure network performance between 2 containers,     but inside a closed IRIS environment that I have fully under my control
• Even the use of SMP or some other browser-based presentation has some influence that I want to avoid.
• Measuring should be as close to the core as possible. So I flagged it NATIVE. Some people might feel it is ABORIGINAL.

How to use it

As most of you probably already know, since approximately the end of 2022 InterSystems IRIS included the columnar storage functionality to its database, well, in today's article we are going to put it to the test in comparison to the usual row storage.

Columnar Storage

What is the main characteristic of this type of storage? Well, if we consult the official documentation we will see this fantastic table that explains the main characteristics of both types of storage (by rows or by columns):

As you can see, columnar storage is designed primarily for analytical tasks in which queries are la

"Set Up a Kerberized Connection from the Web Gateway to InterSystems IRIS " and "Configuring the Web Gateway to Connect to InterSystems IRIS Using TLS" are these two alternative options that exclude each other? Which option should I select if I want to establish a tls connection between a client (browser) and IRIS server?

I had a question about using ZSTART, ZSTOP, and ZMIRROR.

• If we use them and it is not correct, does it mess up with any of the existing functionality?
• So, if I create a ZSTART with a simple command of starting the %JDBC Server will that mess up anything existing in the Startup sequence?
• Is ZSTART, ZSTOP, and ZMIRROR just an extension of the existing functionality, or does it alter how the built in functionality runs?
• Should we tread lightly in the use of them?

Has anyone come up with a way to put a delay in a routing rule? We have text and PDF results sending to EPIC and need to put a delay on the PDF send so the text posts first in EPIC.

Thank you!

Hi,

I've just installed WebTerminal to my IRIS system (Linux SUSE).

I go url:

http://trak01:57772/terminal/

But it just times out

My management portal address is:

http://trak01:52773/csp/sys/UtilHome.csp

The port 57772 is not being listened to [ ss -l|grep LISTEN|grep 57772] 

The doco for WebTerminal says to use this port number in "1.1.3 Launching WebTerminal"

How can I fix this?

Is there some process that needs starting?

Is there further configuration eg. apache web server setup?

Thanks.

Hi all,

As you know, it is very complicated to debug a Business Service Rest API because the object is created when the applications receive a request, so we cannot have the JobId that we can use to debug.

https://docs.intersystems.com/iris20211/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls…

So, I'm trying to get the JobId when the class is being created, write a trace in OnInit() method and write the JobId in a log info

Method OnInit() As%Status
{
	$$$LOGINFO("JobId: "_$JOB)
	hang20breakQuit..OnInit()
}

Unfortunately, it seems to ignore this method because it doesn't show a

Intro

Most server-client communication on the web is based on a request and response structure. The client sends a request to the server and the server responds to this request. The WebSocket protocol provides a two-way channel of communication between a server and client, allowing servers to send messages to clients without first receiving a request. For more information on the WebSocket protocol and its implementation in InterSystems IRIS, see the links below.

If you're running IRIS in a mirrored configuration for HA in Azure, the question of providing a Mirror VIP (Virtual IP) becomes relevant. Virtual IP offers a way for downstream systems to interact with IRIS using one IP address. Even when a failover happens, downstream systems can reconnect to the same IP address and continue working.

The main issue, when deploying to Azure, is that an IRIS VIP has a requirement of IRIS being essentially a network admin, per the docs.

To get HA, IRIS mirror members must be deployed to different availability zones in one subnet (which is possible in Azure as subnets can span several zones). One of the solutions might be load balancers, but they, of course, cost extra, and you need to administrate them.

In this article, I would like to provide a way to configure a Mirror VIP without the using Load Balancers suggested in most other Azure reference architectures.

Every class on the server throws this same error when trying to run the debugger. I've already made sure I don't have the %SecureBreak role assigned which seems to typically fix this issue. Any advice on how to troubleshoot this would be greatly appreciated!
