InterSystems IRIS is a Complete Data Platform
InterSystems IRIS gives you everything you need to capture, share, understand, and act upon your organization’s most valuable asset – your data.
As a complete platform, InterSystems IRIS eliminates the need to integrate multiple development technologies. Applications require less code, fewer system resources, and less maintenance.

Question Norman W. Freeman · Oct 4, 2023

I have some code that fire this kind of request very often : 

set request = ##class(%Net.HttpRequest).%New()
set request.Server = ... //always the same set request.Location = ... //always the same do request.EntityBody.Write(...) //this is different from one request to anotherdo request.Post() 

If it was called in a loop I could move the HttpRequest instantiation outside, unfortunately this is not the case. The code is called from lot of different places.

I have been wondering if there is a class in IRIS that already implement a connection pool
Eg: a set of connections is maintained and

Question Timothy Leavitt · Sep 12, 2023

It's a feature of ObjectScript (perhaps widely known, perhaps not) that if you open the same object ID multiple times, you end up with the same OREF. For example:

USER>set obj1 = ##class(Sample.Person).%OpenId(1)
 
USER>set obj2 = ##class(Sample.Person).%OpenId(1)

USER>w obj1,!,obj2
1@Sample.Person
1@Sample.Person

Generally speaking, this is an important feature - you won't end up accidentally modifying the same record via multiple paths and losing some of the changes.

I have a use case, though, where in %OnBeforeSave I want to actually get the old version of the object (and,

Question Rob Tweed · Oct 10, 2023

I'm using a customised IRIS Community Edition Docker Container: Node.js has been added and the Native API for Node.js directory moved to a node_modules folder in /home/irisowner.  I've changed the _SYSTEM password using the Management Portal (which connects to IRIS just fine)

If I shell into the running container and try to connect with a JS script file containing this:

        const IRISNative = require('intersystems-iris-native');

        let connectionInfo = {

          host: 'localhost',

          port: 1972,

          ns: 'USER',

          user: '_SYSTEM',

          pwd: 'secret',

Question Rob Tweed · Oct 10, 2023

I think there have been articles published here before but I'm struggling to find them:

I'd like to be able to create my own customised version of the official IRIS Community Edition Container, eg with Node.js and a number of modules pre-installed.  So, for example, can I create my own Dockerfile that begins with something like:

         FROM containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/iris-community-arm64:2023.2.0.227.0

and then I can add my own stuff to it?

... or is there another recommended approach?

Any info appreciated

Question Dmitry Maslennikov · Oct 10, 2023

Is there any solution to how to purge the usage of the connection in Community Edition?

I have a working portal, where can't do even any simple SQL Query

Why? Because somehow I've exceeded a license limit (pardon, connection limit, when it comes to Community Editon)

So, this page shows, 8 users ate all connections

This page is useless, 0 connections in use

And this page is useless too, even when I have matches from the usage list, I can do nothing with

Recently, I posted an idea, to make Community Edition limited by resources, not by connections, it would help a lot, but it's marked as Future

I recently started work on trying to Tighten Security in our Development Instance of IRIS that is running based on recommendations from our Audit as you might of seen from my other posts. I am currently trying to get into the Private Web Gateway Manager within IRIS as CSPSystem, but when I attempt to sign in nothing happens. 

I went through and reset the password in the CSP.ini and within IRIS for CSPSystem. I made sure it had the new GatewayRole per suggested

Question Pietro Di Leo · Oct 8, 2023

Hello everyone,

Is there a way to prettify the JSON streams in the incoming HTTP messages so that they are more readable in Visual Trace?

The HTTP messages sent by many software aren't prettified and are displayed like this in the Visual Trace:

On the other hand, other software like Postman prettify the messages and they are displayed in this way:

I know there is a JSON Formatter class, however what I would like is an automatic setting that automatically prettifies the JSON displayed in the Visual Trace without having to go through code.

Is there anything similar?

Introduction

We are in the age of the multiplatform economy and APIs are the "glue" in this digital scenario. Since they are so important, they are seen by developers as a service or product to be consumed. Therefore, usage experience is a crucial factor for its success.

In order to improve this experience, specification standards such as the OpenAPI Specification (OAS) are increasingly being adopted in the development of RESTFul APIs.

What is IRIS ApiPub?

I am trying to lock down security within our Development environment per requirements from a Security Audit that was done earlier this year. I need to try to limit access at a public level, access to cache users, and exposure.

I installed IRIS with the Lockdown method, and have configured my web applications, services, resources, etc.

When I go into my namespace, I am constantly presented with the following error when I try to start or stop an Object...

Cannot login as IRIS manager. Please confirm the '_Ensemble' user is enabled and is assigned the '%All' role.

_Ensemble already has the %ALL

Question Evan Gabhart · Oct 5, 2023

I am currently debugging a piece of code relying heavily on macros. I am using breaks in the method to then check the values of macros and object properties as I go. However, any time I invoke a macro within a break I get an error. To get around this I am converting the macro calls into the underlying code. Some of these macros have messy translations and this is somewhat time consuming. Is there an easier way to access macros from within a break?

Question Scott Roth · Oct 4, 2023

We currently have a couple of Shell scripts we have written to EnableConfigItem from a Unix (Red Hat) command line, so we can control when a Service/Operation is running via the cron in Unix. We do this by calling

:>iris session xxxxx

using _system user.

During our Security audit it was mentioned that we need to lock down some of the cache users. 

  • So, has others written scripts to make IRIS calls via command line?
    • If so, what is the consensus of using a Cache user vs using say a LDAP service account?
  • Or what have you used in the past to ensure that the password is not hardcoded anywhere?

InterSystems FAQ rubric

On Linux, use the iris command to execute a routine or method from a shell and get the return value.

For more information,  please refer to the document "About Instance Connections".

An example of a command is as follows.

iris terminal instname [arguments]

The return value of a shell script can be specified using a special variable using the Terminate() method of the %SYSTEM.Process class when the process ends, rather than by specifying an argument in the QUIT or RETURN command that is specified when a routine or method ends. Use the method of returning a value to $?.

Are you preparing to use VS code for the first time? Just make sure you have enough privileges.

Have you defined your Iris server in your VS Code settings, and still get the following error?

VS Code accesses Iris/HealthConnect using the web application /api/atelier. If you do not have permission (i.e. you are using an LDAP user to connect and the web application is not configured to support LDAP), this is the reason why you couldn't connect.

you will also notice a 'Login Failure' entry in the audit database, with the reason for it.

Question Roy Leonov · Oct 2, 2023

I am currently using IKO 3.6 to deploy an irisCluster on EKS, but I am facing some challenges. Firstly, I need assistance in understanding how to connect to the Web Gateway sidecar. If anyone has experience with this, I would greatly appreciate any guidance or advice you can offer. Secondly, I am trying to utilize the 'seed: path' options of irisDatabases, but I am unsure of the best approach. If anyone has successfully implemented this feature, I would love to hear about your approach and any insights you can provide. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer!
