Hi,

I'm receiving in one of our interface a XML file as a %Stream.GlobalBinary, and in the source Application that produces this XML file, the user sometimes add a special character that force the XML file to have the header encoding to UTF-8, instead of ISO-8859-1 : 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF8"?> 

When my current interface tries to convert the %Stream.GlobalBinary into %XML.XPATH.Document to this exceptional UTF8 header encoding of the XML file : 

Set tSC=##class(%XML.XPATH.Document).CreateFromStream(stream,.tDoc)  --> contains exceptionally UTF8 encoding

I have the following bug that

While starting the development with IRIS we have a distribution kit or in case of Docker we are pulling the docker image and then often we need to initialize it and setup the development environment. We might need to create databases, namespaces, turn on/off some services, create resources. We often need to import code and data into IRIS instance and run some custom code to init the solution.

And there plenty of templates on Open Exchange where we suggest how to init REST, Interoperability, Analytics, Fullstack and many other templates with ObjectScript. What if we want to use only Python to setup the development environment for Embedded Python project with IRIS?

So, the recent release of Embedded Python template is the pure python boilerplate that could be a starting point for developers that build python projects with no need to use and learn ObjectScript. This article expresses how this template could be used to initialize IRIS. Here we go!

How can IRIS productions be deployed more quickly and with greater peace of mind?

The aim of interoperability productions is to enable you to connect systems in order to transform and route messages between them. To connect systems, you develop, configure, deploy and manage productions that integrate several software systems.

That’s what the InterSystems documentation on its reference website tells us, but what do you actually have to do to deploy a production ?

Productions can be composed to connect external systems to the IRIS Data Platform.

GmOwl is a solution that offers an organized and engaging learning platform. It was developed to cater to the increasing need, for learning tools providing a versatile quiz environment that meets users requirements.

The main objective of GmOwl is to deliver an user experience for individuals participating in quizzes while giving administrators comprehensive control, over content and user engagement.

GmOwl uses Java EE with MVC template, and the InterSystems IRIS database is used to store data. The InterSystems JDBC Driver is used to connect to the database.

Hello, I am quite new with InterSystems, SAM and Grafana. I am looking a way to get Log Files and Application Errors from InterSystems to SAM like in this post: https://community.intersystems.com/post/grafana-support-intersystems-iris. Is this plugin still under development or is there any other way to get those errors? By using SAM, I do not get those errors.

Hey Developers,

We're honored to invite you to the first Benelux Caché User Group meetup since the start of COVID! It is dedicated to the Columnar storage, IRIS licensing, hardware & performance, and embedded Python!

⏱ Date: 04 May 2023 from 13:30 to 17:00

📍Venue: InterSystems BV, Medialaan 32 / 1, B-1800 Vilvoorde, Belgium

Do you or does your team work with InterSystems IRIS or Caché? Then this afternoon's event will be interesting to gain additional insights and meet colleagues. The team of InterSystems will be there too.

The agenda includes sessions from both the User Group and InterSystems itself, and at the end of the meeting, InterSystems will provide a snack and a drink as usual. Participation in the user group and meetings is free of charge!

While creating my latest examples for the JavaContest I faced the need
to communicate with my code from a program in IRIS to my Java code.

Communication with |CPIPE| worked as READ or WRITE  but not both?
In the Documentation Named PIPEs are explained rather shortly.
"Once open, a pipe acts like an ordinary device."  Not so precise.
I failed to achieve my expected READ/WRITE  as TCP would offer. 

Has anyone a working example to demonstrate it? 
Any suggestion is welcome.

I found a workaround for my actual case.
Though I'm not so happy with it.

Hi,

After upgrading from Cache to IRIS while running the web application I am getting an error in message.log

It’s hard to believe that this wraps up our first year of quarterly platform updates.  Thank you for making this a great first year.  Today’s update talks about the planned Minimum Supported CPU list, OpenSSL 3.0 for AIX reaching GA, and a bit more.  We’ll be back for 2024!

This update aims to share recent changes as well as our best current knowledge on upcoming changes, but predicting the future is tricky business and this shouldn’t be considered a committed roadmap. 

With that said, on to the update…

Based on the successful solution for my 2nd contribution to the Contest 
I used an adapted version for this package. And have some findings I'd like to share.

Multiple communication steps over CPIPE may take time.
You won't recognize it on a fast machine. But a slower box with
Windows + Docker Desktop + your browser (and more) is neither
"Speedy Gonzales" nor a "Road Runner". 🙂

On the console, you just sit there and expect a reply.

2.Avoid the usage of session cookies as an Anti-CSRF Token on identified cookie IRISSessionToken.Please advise if this is used as a session as they mentioned that if it's not used as a session we can ignore their recommended remediation.I found that this is set under %CSP.

This question originally appeared in the comments of the post: Making Prometheus Monitoring for InterSystems IRIS and Caché

Hello,

First of all thanks for your time reading this doubt.

We have discovered the following behaviour. Inside a Router we have a roule which needs to filter out the ADT_A08 messages which have not OBXs.

The legacy system had this rule implemented:

(((Document.{OBX(1).SetIDOBX}<"1")||((Document.{EVN:EventReasonCode}!="COD")&&(Document.{EVN:EventReasonCode}!="FIN")))

However we have tested it and it does not filter out the ADT_A08 messages.

Is there any way to express inside a Rule, that we need to discard ADT_A08 messages which have not OBXs?

We have been investigating this class which provides

Hello, I am going through the log files of my instance and I wanted to know what each part of it meant. I've tried going through the documentation but I wanted clarification.

I understand there is a log viewer, but I want to understand this directly through the text file. For example, if I were to read this-

What would each part of this line be called? 

Thank you for your assistance.

InterSystems is pleased to announce the central component for InterSystems Supply Chain Orchestrator™, the 2023.1 release of InterSystems IRIS for Supply Chain, is now Generally Available (GA).

InterSystems Supply Chain Orchestrator is built on InterSystems IRIS®, our complete cloud-first data platform that enables a smart data fabric architecture to make it easier to build and deploy high-performance, machine learning-enabled applications that connect data and application silos.

Maybe anyone has a working example?

This is what I have tried: (like in the documentation)

There are situations when your only access to a server is using a web browser,
and there is just no chance of a Terminal or Console access.
The Online Demo Server is such a case.

So you have WebTerminal. That's fine for ObjectScript and Embedded Python.

But my demo is straight Java. And is interactive.
$ZF(-100...) is some aproach. But it's rater batch-oriented and not interactive.
@Enrico Parisi  presented a nice extension to WebTerminal recently.
It's close to my own packageWebCommand that I presented a year ago.

They all act in the same way. It is always a single-shot approach:

 I think WebTerminal is an outstanding project, kudos to @Nikita Savchenko 

One useful functionality is missing, the the ability to run Operating System (Linux or Windows) commands.
In many cases WebTerminal is used when access to the OS is difficult, so having the ability do run simple OS commands from WebTerminal would be a big advantage.
Using "normal" terminal, be it Windows IRIS console, Windows Telnet or within "iris session" in linux is simple, from the IRIS terminal prompt just precede the OS command with "$" or "!".
See the article "Terminal tip: Running OS-level commands" from @John.

I tried to monitoring IRIS with Zabbbix Server. Snmpwalk from Zabbix to IRIS success and got data from IRIS. But in message.log appears many warning message if snmpwalk running.

You can set the maximum size of the IRISTemp database at IRIS startup by setting a configuration parameter called MaxIRISTempSizeAtStart.

After setting, the system will truncate IRISTemp to the set value (MB) at the next IRIS startup. If the current size is less than the specified MaxIRISTempSizeAtStart, no truncation will occur. Also, if 0 is specified, truncation will not be performed, so the size will start without changing. (Default) Settings are made from the menu below.

To run an online backup from a command you can use the API BACKUP^DBACK routine.
An example of performing a full backup is as follows.

set  status = $$ BACKUP ^DBACK( "" , "F" , "full backup" , "c:\backup\full.cbk" , "Y" , "c:\backup\full-log.log" , " NOINPUT" , "Y" , "Y" , "" , "" )

The return value is 1 if the backup is successful, and 0 if the backup is unsuccessful. Please refer to the log file for details on failure.

Additionally, you can specify C for the second argument TYPE to specify a cumulative backup, and specify I to specify a differential backup.

In my previous articles, I described my Command Line Extension to NativeAPI.
Of course, this is also available for any other NativeAPI package.
So I created this example as a demo for the actual Java Contest.

The package contains also an IRIS server in Docker for the demo
It is evident that it also works with any remote IRIS server.
You just have to provide it with my NativeAPI CommandLine Extension.

I think this demo is easy to follow and shows the essential features.

• First, you install the package and start the container
• then you start the demo

To create a user-defined error you need to prepare the XML that describes the error code and corresponding message that you want to use as a user-defined error.

Please set the error code as a negative integer.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<MsgFileLanguage="en"><MsgDomainDomain="UserErrors"><MessageId="-111"Name="MyError">An error has occured</Message> 
    <MessageId="-222"Name="MyError2">An error has occured 2</Message> 
  </MsgDomain></MsgFile>

Once the XML file is created, load it into the namespace you want to use.
