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.
  • Unit Testing / Integration Test: Added an example of how to use IrisApiTester for unit testing and integrations tests 
  • CI/CD: Added new endpoint to use in for example Github workflows after every commit to auto pull changes of the collection's

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.

Question Robert Barbiaux · Sep 15, 2023

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.

For example, there is

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.

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

pip install intersystems_irispython-3.2.0-py3-none-any.whl

Then, we import the Object Script code into studio

Then, we modify the namespace, uesename, and password to make the information consistent with IRIS

 

Finally, click Run to use Python to call the Object Script

Announcement John Murray · Jun 4, 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

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!

Question Katrina E Rodenhaus · Sep 14, 2023

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.

I also looked through the internet to try and find a similar issue, but wasn't able to find anything

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.

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. 

Issue

I've noticed that at times, even with the same input and settings, the outputs displayed

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.

I usually receive complains from our customers about the BPL and DTL web pages automatic refreshes, it's a common problem among newbies users but for veteran developers too, they forget to save the changes regularly and automatically the web page is reloaded, losing all the work done.

Maybe an autosave would fix this problem that produces a deep feeling of hate and resentment against InterSystems technology among our customers. I've added an idea in our portal, so feel free to vote it!

We often get questions about recent and upcoming changes to the list of platforms and frameworks that are supported by the InterSystems IRIS data platform.  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…

In today's landscape, enterprises have grown substantially in scale, amassing vast amounts of data. This data is collected from a plethora of sources including different applications, databases, and other channels. Given the diversity and volume of this data, it's only logical for these enterprises to seek a deeper understanding of what their data entails. Some of the data can be stored in IRIS, and it can be reasonable to be able to add this data to a data lake too.

The Internet now offers many different tools for such tasks, that do not yet support IRIS, but it's achievable.
