Hi all,

When is a Developer Community post not a Developer Community post? When it's just a few sentences wrapped around a link to InterSystems documentation! And what better way to finish up 2021 than by telling you about something cool that's been available since v2020.3? As the ball drops in Times Square, curl up with this:

I have a production that writes x12 file with a EnsLib.EDI.X12.Operation.FileOperation. I am trying to get file name that was used back to the business process. What is the best way to do this?

Hello, we deploy IRIScluster using IKO on Red Hat OpenShift deployed in AWS. For DR, we have another AWS region on stand by. We do daily backups. I run a standalone IRIS in the second region. I want to add it as async member to the mirror to have some essential data available in the standby region. Is this possible?

Hi, developers!

Currently, I'm working on a project that requires highly dynamic event management. In the context of the Java programming language, my first instinct should be to opt for the "Observer Pattern", which is an approach to managing interactions between objects by establishing a notification mechanism. It allows multiple observers to react to changes in the state of a subject autonomously, promoting code flexibility and modularity. If you are not familiar with this design pattern, check out Wikipedia to find more information about it.

While it's natural and commonly used in certain programming languages as Java and C++, in ObjectScript, it's quite a different story.

If the system does not stop for 24 hours, old journal files will be deleted at 0:30 according to the "Journal file deletion settings".

A possible cause of journal files remaining that are older than the "Journal file deletion settings" is that there are transactions that remain open.

In that case, you will be able to delete the journal file by searching for processes executing transactions and finalizing the transactions.

The sample below checks for the existence of open transactions, and if they exist, outputs the target file name and journal record information.

Hi Team,

I want to create a task in the task manager to manage the member details. so what i have done let me first brief you :-

1) Created a persistent class to store the custom csv details into a sql table.

2) created a business service to take the custom csv file from a inbound folder and use this class (EnsLib.RecordMap.Service.FileService) to use RecordMap.

First i have created CSV Wizard then RecordMap then DTL and map the fields with csv values.

3) then i created a business process (EnsLib.MsgRouter.RoutingEngine) and created a business Rule in business Rule i'm taking the source as

When exporting a %JSON.Adaptor inherited class, undefined %Boolean properties are exported to JSON as "false" instead of null or empty

is there any way to control this behavior?

    Property bool as%Boolean;
}

set test = ##class(Test.Json).%New()
do test.%JSONExport()
{
    "bool": false

The ideal number of table permissions to assign for your users is zero. Permissions should be granted upon sign-in based on the application used for access. For web applications, we have a simple way of doing this by appointing application roles, matching roles, and required resources in the System Management Portal.

ODBC and JDBC connections present a different problem, however, especially when third-party applications are involved. As providers of an ERP system, our customers often wish to be able to employ various software packages to integrate with or report on their data. Many of these programs are capable of running any kind of query. Yet, letting them do that can be devastating to a customer’s data.

Tring to Performing following script in IRIS but do not know how to format Date. Normally, I would use TO_DATE or TO_TIMESTAMP in the actual queue statement below, but since I'm using Prepared Statements, I do not know how to format date in 'values' that is being used in the %Execute. It generates errors. I'm updating an Oracle Database via a SQL JDBC Gateway Connection. Does anyone know how to pass in Dates?

Hello,

I need to make an LDAP query to retrieve information about a specific team of employees. I have a custom service that instantiates a message of type EnsLib.LDAP.Message.Search with a filter matching the search and redirects it to an operation of type EnsLib.LDAP.Operation.Standard. I didn't get any errors, but I didn't get any results either. So I created an operation that inherits from EnsLib.LDAP.Operation.Standard and I overloaded the method to retrieve something. I get this:

Hello Community,

The process private global doesn't impact the $storage. But, Why the value has decreases at first time of initialization. 

Just want to ensure about it.

So far, we have covered how to use ObjectScript to manage users, roles, resources, and applications.There are a few other classes in this package that work similarly to the ones mentioned above.However, these four classes are the ones everyone will have to use to manage their application security.Suppose you wanted to create your own Security management portal for this package.There would be some specific issues to think about for an API.Since the classes use similar methods, we can create fewer API endpoints using indirection.

Hi 

I'm having a tidy up of code across my multiple namespaces, and have moved the common code to a new database called DEVTOOLS.

Currently, I'm copying code and updating code into new namespaces. 

How might I make code from namespace available to others?

Cheers

A few months ago, I faced a significant challenge: streamlining the handling of business logic in our application. My goal was to extract the business logic from the code and hand it over to analysts. Dealing with a multitude of rules could easily result in a code littered with countless "if" statements, especially if the coder lacked an understanding of cyclomatic complexity. Such code becomes a source of pain for those working with it—difficult to write, test, and develop.

We recently went through an Audit of our Security Policies and Procedures when it comes to IRIS. As a result of that Audit, we need to make adjustments to the way that Security is setup within IRIS. I have already done my changes on our TEST and DEVELOPMENT environments, but now I am trying to plan out how do we make these changes in Production.

These changes include moving away from the PWS, setting up Apache/Web Gateway, moving to LDAP instead of using Delegated Authentication, updating Web Applications, updating Resources, updating Services, etc...

To minimize the impact on our system, does

Good morning,

First of all thanks for reading this question.

We have been asked by a client to check if our Soap Service has charset / encoding "UTF-8".

We have been investigating the class "EnsLib.SOAP.InboundAdapter".

We only observe one reference to the charset as "Set tCT=$S(tCST:"binary/CST; charset=UTF-8"

Inside the method: WriteResp

Many other improvements are also in this release, such as the Flexible

Ran into an issue this morning, that I am having a hard time trying to track down what might have caused the issue. We have a Business Rule that sends HL7 ADT to a Business Process that inserts the data into a MS SQL Server using a Custom Business Operation (SQL Outbound Adapter).

Early yesterday morning the Custom Business Operation reset its connection through the Java Gateway Server to the MS SQL Database, when it reconnected to the Java Gateway/MS SQL Database it stopped processing.So, the Business Rule had over 40,000 queued up to process.

I am looking to run IRIS for UNIX on the Linux Ubuntu 22.04 platform and need to determine which filesystem configurations are considered supported. The three options under consideration are Ext4, LVM with Ext4, and OpenZFS. Currently, the system is running on a raw Ext4 filesystem, but there is a desire to switch to either LVM with Ext4 or OpenZFS to make it easier to handle disk usage.

This leads to two questions:

Are either of these two configurations considered to be tested and supported by InterSystems?

Are there any issues or concerns with transitioning data and logs from a raw Ext4

Wondering what version the Information.Schema schema was introduced, so that I can decide how to query the metadata for user defined tables. 

Thank you!

For your convenience InterSystems is posting the typical install steps for the operating systems that are supported with InterSystems IRIS.

For Microsoft Windows, please consult the InterSystems product documentation.

The IRIS installer will detect if a web server is installed on the same machine, which gives you the option to automatically have the web server configured.

All Apache installations will require sudo (recommended) or root permission to install the web server. This requirement supports recommended best practices. 

For Red Hat (RHEL), InterSystems is installing SELinux files to

I've created a Rest Service as described here 

Configured the webapplication as described in the previous link, and now have a URL which I call in PostMan

http://VIR-HC-DEV-01.gmmh.nhs.uk:52773/api/mgmnt/v2/parisconnect/PCRest

Which returns the JSON spec as I would expect:

{
    "swagger": "2.0",
    "info": {
        "version": "1.0.0",
        "title": "Swagger Petstore",
        "description": "A sample API to demonstrate features in the swagger-2.0 specification",
        "termsOfService": "http://swagger.io/terms/",
        "contact": {

Update - I answered my own question, so I'll just leave this here in case it can help someone.

Hi All

I'm following the tutorial Creating and Editing REST Services and have reached the step Using ^%REST to Create a Service and have encountered an error.

I have been struggling with a docker run command that kept crashing, the error message was too generic to point me to the right direction.

Since the container is shut down after the failure, I was unable to login to it in order to figure out the problem.

I had to run the container in a way that I'll be able to log into it before it crashed, so I found the adding  -u false prevents the docker run command to run the iris session IRIS and the container stayed up and running. then I was able to log into it using:

docker exec -it <container id / name> /bin/bash

inside the container I was able to try
