#InterSystems IRIS

InterSystems announces its first developer preview for the 2023.3 release of InterSystems IRIS^® and InterSystems IRIS for Health^TM.

Future preview releases are expected to be updated biweekly and we will add features as they are ready.

Please share your feedback through the Developer Community so we can build a better product together. Initial documentation can be found at these links below.

Why to use it

This app offers an easy interface to analyze storage:

• Filter by database (namespace), global name, used size, or allocated size;
• View a sum of the used and allocated sizes for the filters applied;
• Export the table to JSON, CSV, or XML.

How to use it

Follow the instructions on the README file from the GitHub repository, and configure the settings to connect to your instance.

How to adapt it to your needs

Since it was built with Python and Django, you can easily add specific analysis methods in the api/methods.py and use the views on views.py to display them.

In the ever-evolving landscape of data science and machine learning, having the right tools at your disposal can make all the difference. In this article, we want to shine a spotlight on two essential Python libraries that have become indispensable for data scientists and machine learning practitioners alike: Matplotlib and scikit-learn.

Matplotlib: Crafting Visualizations with Precision

Matplotlib is a versatile and powerful library for creating static, animated, and interactive visualizations in Python.

Hi Interoperability experts!

Recently noticed an interesting conceptual discussion in our Interoperability Discord channel to which I want to give more exposure.

All we know that typical InterSystems Interoperability production consists of the following chain:

Inbound adapter->Business Service->Business Process->Business Operation->Outbound adapter.

And Business Process (BO) here is always considered as a passive "listener" either on port/folder/rest API for an incoming data.

Hello to all developers and IRIS users. I am submitting to the competition a project for an alternative IRIS management portal that I have long wanted to create. The project was implemented on the Django framework and the intersystems_irispython-3.2.0-py3-none-any.whl library using native IRIS. The Django project is integrated with the telegram messenger and can be launched from a docker container or directly. To run it, you need to create a .env file in the project root for which you can use the .env_example example.

DJANGO_DEBUG=True
DATABASE_URL=sqlite:///db.

Doing a new project with %JSON.Adaptor, unexpectedly realized that %JSON.Adaptor does not support export to native JSON. %JSONExport just outputs directly to the current device, and there are two more methods %JSONExportToString, and %JSONExportToStream.

In conjunction with generating REST from swagger specification, where any generated method accepts as a result %DynamicObject, which is good. 

I have multiple places in my REST where I have to return JSON for an object, but I have to modify the result a bit, just extend it with some other way.

Hi,

I want to write a class to write a customized SSL/TLS certificate expiry alerts using ObjectScript?

Any sample code for reference available?

Thanks, 

Hi Community!,

I've published a new versión of IrisApiTester, I included some new features:

• External Repo: Added possibility to use a collection in a repository (Github or Bitbucket) instead of drag manually the collection's file into the web page.
• Pull and Run: Created new endpoint to auto pull changes in the repo and run the test automatically.

Hi,

Can you please suggest how to import vR4 packages for my FHIR application implementation. I can see SDA3 packages but want to work with vR4.

Is there any version compatibility for SDA3/vR4? What is the difference of SDA3 and vR4?

Thanks,

InterSystems has corrected two defects regarding connectivity. These defects and their corrections are independent of each other.

This alert addresses them both because there are point releases containing both corrections.

Both defects only impact versions 2019.1.4 and 2020.1.4 of:

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

Neither defect impacts any released version of HealthShare Unified Care Record®, Information Exchange, Health Insight, Patient Index, Provider Directory, Care Community, Personal Community, or Healthcare Action Engine.

Hi,
I am dealing with a very old code base (some routines date back to 1985 and were running on a M system 😉). It is rather huge and currently contains around 5000 compilable *.int routines.

My goal is to export all routine code as *.int UDL files and setup a git repository containing all routines.

The issue is, approximatively 200 of those routines have storage names that differ only in case. I am using Windows and when exporting those routines using vscode, files gets overwritten depending on routine export order, as Windows NTFS file system names are not case-sensitive.

I am planning upgrade my PC OS to windows 10 to Windows 11.

There is any compactibility issue is with windows 11 with JReport and Intersystes Studio.

Intersystems Studio Version: - InterSystems Studio Client  2021.1.0 Build 215
Server IRIS for UNIX (Red Hat Enterprise Linux for x86-64) 2021.1 (Build 215_0_21953U)

JReport Designer Version :- JReport Designer 15.5

Anyone help to know there is any compactibility issue is there.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi Community
In this article, I will introduce my application IRIS-GenLab.
IRIS-GenLab is a generative AI Application that leverages the functionality of Flask web framework, SQLALchemy ORM, and InterSystems IRIS to demonstrate Machine Learning, LLM, NLP, Generative AI API, Google AI LLM, Flan-T5-XXL model, Flask Login and OpenAI ChatGPT use cases.

Hello developers,

In this article, I'll show you how to run code at compile time with ObjectScript macros.

Here's a use case that recently led me to use this feature:

As part of a medical application developed for more than 20 years, we have a large number of parameters. Although we have procedures for documenting these settings, it can be helpful to have a quick view of which settings are actually used by the application code.

To get this view, we could search the code with regular expressions.

Enhanced Password Management: Edit Passwords Seamlessly

In the ever-evolving landscape of digital security, robust password management tools have become indispensable. Our password management application, designed to simplify and secure your online life, now comes with an enhanced feature – the ability to edit passwords with ease.

Why is this feature a game-changer?

1. Flexibility: Life is dynamic, and so are our online accounts. With the new edit password feature, you have the flexibility to modify your saved passwords whenever you need to.

When I attempt to start my local IRIS instance (named LATEST) I am getting the below error

"(111) Error starting service: LATEST
Reason: (1069) The service did not start due to a logon failure."

Does anyone have experience with this or know how to resolve the logon credentials associated  with this start? 

native-api-py-demo

This is a demo of IRIS Native API for Python, which uses Python to call the Object Script method and flow the message in production. Python obtains the message after flow and the message in global, and uses ZPM Package deployment.

Firstly, we need to install the Native API package

Enter on the command line

Hey Community,

⏯ Best Practices for InterSystems IRIS System Performance in the Cloud @ Global Summit 2023

For several years now Visual Studio Code has supported the notebook coding paradigm with a maturing UX and an API that is enabling a notebook extensions ecosystem to grow. One of the best-known notebook platforms is Jupyter Notebooks. A Microsoft team publishes an extension that allows VS Code to handle .ipynb notebook files. These can either work against a local Python environment or connect to a Jupyter Server, which typically hosts remote Python environments with beefier resources.

What if your InterSystems IRIS environments, whether local on your workstation or remote in your organization / cloud, could operate as Jupyter Servers? And not only for Embedded Python but also for ObjectScript and SQL

"If we build it, will they come?"

Have you ever thought of creating your own systems for editing users or, perhaps, even an API that you can call? Today, you’re going to join me in the %SYS namespace and get to know Security.Users! 

This class has forty properties, many of which you’ve seen before in the System Management Portal. There are class methods for manipulating most of those properties. Every method in this class is a class method, and in most of them, the username is passed as an argument. These methods can be used when you do not want to open and directly manipulate the user’s objects, which is a bad idea anyway!

I am very new to IRIS. We are developing a PHP application that connects to an IRIS instance of one of our vendors. This works well most of the time, but when I query a table to get data from particular fields that contain long text strings, it returns `NULL`. These fields are all `VARCHAR(30000)`.

I tried using the `$extract` functionality in the IRIS documentation, but that made no difference. I also tried setting the PHP setting `odbc.defaultlrl` to both 31K and 0. Neither resolved the issue.

From time to time InterSystems must respin a release to correct 1-2 issues. This process generates new kits called "Point Releases".

A Point Release is distinct from maintenance or feature releases.  Its objective is to correct an urgent issue in the field quickly and surgically.

InterSystems FAQ rubric

It can be retrieved using the schema INFORMATION_SCHEMA.

INFORMATION_SCHEMA is a system schema and is not displayed by default in the SQL menu of the Management Portal.

The method to display it is as follows.

1. Open Management Portal → System Explorer → SQL menu.
2. Check "System" on the left of the schema drop-down.
3. Select INFORMATION_SCHEMA from the schema dropdown.

The SQL to get the ID, field name (COLUMN_NAME), data type (DATA_TYPE), description (DESCRIPTION) for the specified table (Sample.Human) is as follows.

  If you're looking to get started with SQL in InterSystems IRIS or want to make your queries more efficient, try one of these short online learning exercises!

• Running Fast Queries with SQL in InterSystems IRIS (10m)
• Optimizing SQL Queries in InterSystems IRIS (15m)

Both include learning labs, so no need to bring your own instance. 

Still working on my first External REST API call, and I am struggling to find the exact answer I am looking for... I get a JSON response from my API call but I am not quite sure how to dynamically get the JSON response into the Ens.Response Object with its lists of Arrays that I have defined.

  set tSC = ..Adapter.SendFormDataArray(.tHTTPResposne,"POST",tHTTPRequest,,,tURL)

  set pResponse = ##class(User.REST.Epic.Msg.GetPatientLocationResponse).%New()

  set dynObject = {}.%FromJSON(tHTTPResposne.Data)

  set iter = dynObject.%GetIterator()

  while iter.%GetNext(.

Hi everyone,

I have a question related to a strange issue I've been experiencing over the last few days.

Context

I'm attempting to create an automatic resending system that, if no reply is received from the server, raises an error and re-sends the message. This process continues for the a duration defined by the FailureTimeout (e.g., 20 seconds), and a new message is being sent every 5 seconds until the FailureTimeout is reached. If no response was obtained from the server, the system returns an error.

My cluster status is as follows:

when I do journal restore on primary, it says journal restore is not allowed. The DR is also not allowed to do journal restore.

Currently, the SQL privileges (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) are managed at the tables level, which can be very tedious when you have to administer many roles in an organization, and need to keep them sync with a constantly evolving data models.
By managing privileges at the schemas level, will allow to give SELECT and other DML privileges to *all* or *several schemas* to a role|user, fixing the need to manually synchronize the new tables|views to the roles.

If you agree, I invite you to vote for this idea.
