An example of SQL statement execution is as follows. 

$system

When accessed in ODBC format, it can be handled as comma-delimited data.

Hi guys,

Apparently, I'm doing something wrong. Opened the InterSystems IRIS Cloud SQL, clicked on View Purchase Options and got an error:

Something tells me that contacting AWS customer support won't help. What should be my steps to get access to it to try it out?

I'm trying to change the Stream property inside a DTL with a Source Class of Ens.StreamContainer. The code, below, will change it within the DTL testing tool, but running an actual message through the Production's Process doesn't change the Stream property. I can change other properties of Ens.StreamContainer by using the normal Set action and it is reflected when running it through the Process. For context, this uses a FTP service to grab a file. Any thoughts on why I can't just write modified stream data to the Stream property?

Any prevision when Java 17 or superior will be released?

Java 11 is not used any more, because vulnerabilities, security problems and new java resources not present in 11 version

I am trying to use postman to start the restapi classes from a json openapi2.0.0 file.

POST: https://myserver.com/api/mgmnt/v2/requestAPI. The body contains the openapi2.0.0. The application api/mgmnt has in security settings: password. JWT is not selected. I set postman authentication to basis authentication and gave username and password. I also set in headers IRISUsername and IRISPassword. I have 401 Unauthorized.

Is the only way to go through is to build an oauth token? or do I miss something?

Thank you very much.

In evaluating an IBM Support notification, InterSystems has determined a potential impact for our customers. The notification in question is:

This issue affects versions 2022.x and 2023.x of

• InterSystems IRIS® data platform
• InterSystems IRIS for Health™
• HealthShare® Health Connect

It also affects other InterSystems products based on the InterSystems IRIS family of products.

Need to make ODBC connection to fetch data from SQL Server to IRIS 2021.1. Once we are able to query the data from SQL server, need to Pass it in ensemble production

Once again I would like to know, if there are any plans to make Java libraries available through normal channels like public mvnrepository, like the whole world it's doing, where anyone can find any JDBC driver to any database in the world but InterSystems.

Currently there is only some useless garbage. There are just very empty files. What was the point of posting it there?

I'm really interested in contributing, but this issue is a huge stopper, and I don't want to do anything.

Do I always see the IP address of the current host in the [MirrorMember] configuration information in the iris.cpf file? The AgentAddress in my current [MirrorMember] configuration file is empty, SystemName=ip/instance name. Will the SystemName here be in the form of ip/instance name? It could be instance name without ip?

I am fairly new to using Docker, and instead of trying to get IIS, a Web Gateway, and Docker desktop working within my Windows environment, I thought I would try running it in a WSL2 Ubuntu environment since this is similar to how use it on my server. I have installed Apache and the Web Gateway on my WSL2 Ubuntu.

I went through Apache Web Gateway with Docker | InterSystems Developer Community however that is already bundled and requires TLS certificate setup which I don't care about since this is running locally on my machine.

I have created a custom Business Process setting called X509CredentialAlias in which I load the name of the credential alias to use for some background processes. I have looked through EnsPortal.Component but do not see an option for selecting X509 certs stored within IRIS. How might I adjust this setting to query all X509 certs saved within IRIS and offer a drop-down selection to the user within the business process? Similar to the EnsPortal.Component.sslConfigSelector. 

You can see in the above X509CredentialAlias that I am manually typing the credential alias name.

Hi all,

For a requirement of the customer, we have a BS Rest api with a lot of methods, we need to get the IP of the caller, the method and what is the time that the API has taken to process.

I've found the event onPreDispatch where I can take the IP, ClassMethod, etc.

Dear,

I'm trying to configure a new interface that reads HL7, transform them into FHIR messages and then send POST or PUT or DELETE depending on HL7 doc type.

1-I added an HL7 TCP service that reads ADTs messages

2a-Send ADTs to a process to transform them into SDA  (using the following command:  do ##class(HS.Gateway.HL7.HL7ToSDA3).GetSDA(request,.con))

2b-Extract the patient MRN and add it to the AdditionalInfo property  (using the following request message class: HS.Message.XMLMessage)

3-Send the SDA message to the built in process: HS.FHIR.DTL.Util.HC.SDA3.FHIR.Process.

InterSystems FAQ rubric

Record maps are used to efficiently map files containing delimited records or fixed-width records to message classes used by the interoperability function, and to map files from interoperability function message classes to text files.

Record map mapping definitions can be created using the Management Portal, and we also provide a CSV record wizard that allows you to define while reading a CSV file.

To use a record map in production, just add a record map business service or business operation and specify the record map definition class you created.

Hi, I am trying to use embedded python in a cache class, but I can only get it to work in the source code namespace.

We map our client namespaces to our source code namespaces using Default Database for Routines under System > Configuration > Namespaces > Edit Namespace in the management portal.

In the source code namespace:

SOURCENEW>w ##class(EF.helloWorld).helloWorldPython()

Hello World!

SOURCENEW>ZN "EVEXAMPLE"

In the client namespace:

EVEXAMPLE>w ##class(EF.helloWorld).helloWorldPython()

W ##CLASS(EF.helloWorld).

Hello,
First of all thanks for your time and help with this question.

We wonder how could we convert a String which represents an XML, to a class which extends from Ens.

Hi Community,

I have below scenario

We have IRIS BI Reports in my application. I want to create a automated backend utility (similar to background cache system task) which run these bi reports and export them to PDF at a specific path. In dashboard we have defined  <property name="print">1</property> which allows report export to PDF.

Now I want to debug the code (line by line) from dashboard to  %DeepSee.UI.MDXPDF.cls but I am not sure is this possible or not.

Please suggest. Thanks in advance!

When I use Escape logic when inserting or updating Oracle Table I'm getting Max-Length exceeded error. With the original value the length is good but after I add Escape Logic, it causes value to be greater than max-length. The original value was "I visited O'Brien before heading out of town." and after added Escape logic it was "I visited O''Brien before heading out of town." Max-Length is 45.

INSERT INTO MyText
    (text)
VALUES
    ('I visited O''Brien before heading out of town.')
                 /\
             right here  

Any ideas around this?

Hello guys, Can someone help me?

I have the error below when starting my IRIS instance.

--------------------------------------------

irisstart.exe error: pid = 2936
(112)
The service for the IRIS instance did not start.

Consult the Windows NT Application Event Log for details
using the Event Viewer application accessible from the
Administrative Tools menu.

You may find additional information in IRIS console log
(messages.log) in the manager directory.

Instance name = OTHER-INTEGRATIONS

------------------------

I even tried in emergency mode, and changing SystemStart to false in the .cpf.

When I try to run Interoperability -> Interface Maps in 2022.1 on a very large namespace, I keep getting timeout errors. Even though I add filtering by Category, Text Search, etc... it still errors out no matter what. However if it is ran in one of our smaller namespaces it runs just fine. WRC told us the namespace is too big, however that should not matter on how many services, processes, and operations you have running. 

• Has anyone had this issue with Interoperability - Interface Maps timing out because of the size of the namespace?

On DR Async Member, I found that the addDatabase method cannot be used to add a non mirrored database to the mirror. Is there any other method?

Hi,

In Objectscript it apperas these characters have a special meaning:

^var                                                                                          <- Does the ^ mean the variable after it is a Global
set status=##class(%SYS.Journal.System).GetState() <- Does the ## mean anything?
                                                                                                     Does the % mean anything?

Does the $ mean anything?
