The $ZF(-100) command is used in the following format.

$ZF(-100, flags, command name, command arguments)

The "/shell" flag is required when running OS commands.
For example, use mkdir like this:

 // mkdir C:\temp\newdir
 Write$ZF(-100, "/shell", "mkdir", "C:\temp\newdir")

If a command has multiple arguments, enclose them in double quotes and separate them with commas, as in the example below.

Hi all,

I'm very new to this ecosystem so please bear with me:

I've startted learning online and have installed everything I need. I have VS code and I have most definitely installed the pack (3 packages) needed for working on it with ObjectScript. Even though this is the case I'm running into 2 problems:

1. when I type "class" I only get 4 option for auto complete. no "class with multiple inheritances" or anything of the sort. In fact, no Class at all, only ClassMethod. ClassResponse etc.

InterSystems announces its third preview, as part of the developer preview program for the 2024.1 release.  This release will include InterSystems IRIS^®,  InterSystems IRIS^® for Health^TM, and HealthShare^® Health Connect.

Hi Community,

I have below scenario

We have IRIS BI Reports in my application. Now these reports currently being acessed by users through dashboard url's.

I want to create a automated utility (background cache system task) which run these bi reports and export them to a specific path.

I am looking for a system method through which we can open these dashboard url's through code and export the excel report to a speciific path.

Thanks in advance.

This may be a very specific problem but might help with some general information that I wasn't able to find anywhere.

I have started to train 2 IntegratedML models using AutoML one month ago.

I am trying to create a program to upload blob files from IRIS to Azure Blog Storage, but with no luck.

First, I am trying the APIs, but  ##class(%Net.Cloud.Storage.Client).CreateClient() fails with the message "Cannot establish connection". Following the documentation, the parameters are like: CreateClient(, 1, credfile, , .tSC) where credfile specifies a file containing:

DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https
AccountName=aihpocsadicom
AccountKey=RealAccountKeyHere
EndpointSuffix=core.windows.net

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, we are showing you some Adaptive Analytics love!  InterSystems IRIS Adaptive Analytics version 2023.3 is now available from the InterSystems Software Distribution  page.  This release includes AtScale 2023.3 with additional tuning, API enhancements and the following new capabilities:

Nowadays so much noise around LLM, AI, and so on. Vector databases are kind of a part of it, and already many different realizations for the support in the world outside of IRIS. 

Why Vector?

• Similarity Search: Vectors allow for efficient similarity search, such as finding the most similar items or documents in a dataset. Traditional relational databases are designed for exact match searches, which are not suitable for tasks like image or text similarity search.
• Flexibility: Vector representations are versatile and can be derived from various data types, such as text (via embeddings like Word2Vec, BERT), images (via deep learning models), and more.
• Cross-Modal Searches: Vectors enable searching across different data modalities. For instance, given a vector representation of an image, one can search for similar images or related texts in a multimodal database.

And many other reasons.

So, for this pyhon contest, I decided to try to implement this support. And unfortunately I did not manage to finish it in time, below I'll explain why.

Hello,

I have a problem with a FHIR Interop scenario that the HTTP Header Value content-type between IRIS and client changes in case of an error (HTTP 422). If I set the status in the response to 200 OK as the last step in the service class, the return transmission works.

Within my operation class, the error code is taken from the source system and entered in the HS.FHIRServer.Interop.Response message. 

Within the CSP gateway I am also shown that the content type is 422 application/fhir+xml and is returned.

We are trying to use Git for Source Code control in our existing application. Currently all Source Control is a manual process. We are running IRIS on a Windows server. The git extension has been installed and initial configuration done. We do get the git tab in Studio. We keep getting the following error:

Git Status:
fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at 'C:/KBS/dev/server/db'
'C:/KBS/dev/server/db' is owned by:

To add an exception for this directory, call:git config --global --add safe.directory C:/KBS/dev/server/db.

Hi Friends

Here I have created business service for soup service and created unauthenticated url using web application and shared with  client.

As a result I have exposed below URL

http://xx,xx,xxx,xxx:57772/csp/healthshare/production/services/abc.xyz…

working fine end to end.

Now I need to change the url from http to https.

Could you please guide me , how to generate certificate and change ssl configurations for web application and expose https url instead of http url?

Thanks a lot,

Hello dear developers,

I am currently doing an internship and learning about InterSystems IRIS and ObjectScript and have downloaded and installed the community version of IRIS.

I have not made any changes in the Management Portal.
In Visual Studio Code I have loaded the InterSystems ObjectScript Extension Pack.

If I now want to compile a file, VSC throws an error:
"ERROR #16006: Document name 'x.csp' is invalid"

The name of the file is "index.csp"
This error also appears when I try to compile other files.
I have noticed that the first 4 characters of the name are always missing.

Hello

I would like to install the IRIS Community edition on Oracle Linux 9.0 for x86–64 but it is not proposed on the Community loading page. the only Linux versions proposed are Red Hat 8, Red Hat 9, SUSE 14, Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 22.04.

As IRIS is supported on Oracle Linux 9.0 for x86–64, is it possible to get an Iris Oracle Linux 9.0 for x86–64 through the Community canal ?

Thanks 
 

Interacting with Users in the Terminal: A Guide to Using %Library.Prompt in IRIS

Have you ever wondered how commands like ^DATABASE engage users in the terminal? Or perhaps you're writing an automation routine and want ways to specify options directly from the terminal. Thankfully, the %Library.Prompt class in IRIS offers a straightforward way to do so!

String Input

For basic input, such as asking the user to provide a filepath or namespace, use the following code:

set status = ##class(%Library.Prompt).GetString("Input filepath:", .path)

On Linux, use the following steps to delete an instance of InterSystems IRIS (hereinafter referred to as IRIS).

(1) Stop the IRIS instance you want to uninstall using iris stop 

# iris stop <instance name>

(2) Delete the instance information using the following command 

# iris delete <instance name>

(3) Delete the IRIS installation directory using the rm -r command 

# rm -r <install directory>

In addition to the installation directory, IRIS also uses (a) and (b) below.

Hello Everyone,

The Certification Team of InterSystems Learning Services is developing an InterSystems IRIS Developer Professional certification exam, and we are reaching out to our community for feedback that will help us evaluate and establish the contents of this exam.

Note: This exam will replace the current InterSystems IRIS Core Solutions Developer Specialist exam when it is released. Please note from the target role description below that the focus of the new exam will be more on developer best practices and a lot less on the ObjectScript programming language.

Hi Developers,

Watch this video to learn the different roles in OAuth 2.0, scopes, tokens, important authentication flows/grant types, and more:

⏯ OAuth 2.0 Fundamentals @ Global Summit 2023

Multi-tap or multi-press is the name given to the historic technique of writing SMS on the first mobile phones with a keyboard of 10-12 numeric keys. For example, to type LOL you need to press 5 three times, 6 three times and 5 three times again. Your task is to write a function that takes a string as input and returns the repeated digits associated with each character according to the multi-tap system. Should consider letters from A to Z, doesn't distinguish between upper/lowercase characters. Numbers are allowed, and any punctuation should be ignored.

Input

"Example"

Output

"339926755533"

Note

I am trying to troubleshoot an issue with LDAP and a specific user. Besides what is in the Audit Database is there another way to look to see the LDAP functionality that is being called and the response, like there is with OAuth and the ISCLOG? The Audit Log is returning a failure (Unexpected - /api/atelier login failure | InterSystems Developer Community) for this particular user, and I want to get proof that it might be something with the LDAP and not IRIS.

Thanks

Hi Devs!

Recently I was impressed by @Dan Pasco's article where he shares also how he uses terminal aliases. 

Terminal aliases is a very powerful tool for developers and sys admins if you often need to call some cumbersome terminal expressions and make it shorter and cleaner. Here is the documentation.
Yes! 

But what about Docker environments? What if you are fan of Docker dev environments but also want to keep using your favorite aliases with Docker as well?

Turned out it is very possible.

Hi,

I'm having a few issues with keeping Ubuntu happy and stable, and it seems to be something at the OS level rather than within IRIS itself. My thought is to simply pare back the stuff that Ubuntu LTS runs by default, which will free up system resources (which really shouldn't be a problem, but it might help) and reduce the amount that can go wrong.

Are there any guides as to what can be safely disabled at boot time, or are required to be enabled?

Hi community.

Yes, I know that there is other question "VS Code - debugging doesn't work" that is the same issue, but my IRIS instance is not using IIS.

Some times ago, I could debug without problems, but after some updates of Visual Studio, I get the following error

Failed to start the debug session. Check that the Intersystems server's web server supports WebSockets

I've activated the WebSocket protocol in the server (Windows Server 2019) but it still doesn't work.

The IRIS instance is not using IIS, I think it is using the Apache by default.

Do I need to do anything in special?

Hello Community,

SQL language remains the most practical way to retrieve information stored in a database.

The JSON format is very often used in data exchange.

It is therefore common to seek to obtain data in JSON format from SQL queries.

Below you will find simple examples that can help you meet this need using ObjectScript and Python code.
