It can be obtained by using the Size query of the system-provided %SYS.GlobalQuery class.

See the sample code below for usage examples.
*Please check the class reference for specifying columns and parameters.

 set dir="C:\intersystems\iris\mgr\user" // IRIS.DAT(or CACHE.DAT) folder
 set rs = ##class(%ResultSet).%New("%SYS.GlobalQuery:Size")
 do rs.Execute(dir) // You can also specify a mask with the 3d parameter
 while (rs.Next()) { 
   set gname= rs.Get("Name") // global name
   set gsize= rs.Get("Used MB") // global size (MB)

With rapid evolution of Generative AI,  to embrace it and help us improve productivity is a must. Let's discuss and embrace the ideas of how we can leverage Generative AI to improve our routine work. 

Is it possible to hide certain properties in a class from displaying in the BPL visual editor, if you want to prevent drag and drop from accessing them or otherwise controlling or restricting their behavior?

Virtual document messages, such as EnsLib.HL7.Message, have hidden fields, such as Source, that do not show, presumably since the field list is rebuilt from the document schema. Setting the flag Internal, or XMLPROJECTION = "NONE" doesn't do it. Trying to follow the Virtual Document precedent to rebuild or edit the field list seems like a heavy list.

Hey Developers,

⏯ Projecting Data into InterSystems IRIS with Foreign Tables

I have several 1GB journals from a LIVE server that I would like to inspect (eg: check which globals have been updated over the time).

Is there a simple way to view those journals using another IRIS instance ? (eg: local installation).

I have been tempted to put those files directly into the journal folder of my local installation and restart the system, however I am concerned that the transactions they contains will be restored and will corrupt the local database.

I have checked documentation but couldn't find anything.

Hi All,

I am trying to fetch resultset using the below code - 

set rs = ##class(%ResultSet).%New("Simple.Person:ValidateAge")

do rs.Execute()

it is giving me error while the same code I run it through iris terminal worked fine. 
I want to understand that problem behind this. Also how can I check the possible methods that I can use on 'rs' somewhat dir() does in python.

Hi Developers, I am glad to announce Git for InterSystems IRIS, my first submission to OpenExchange and part of the current Developer Tools Contest.

Git for InterSystems IRIS is a source control package that aims to facilitate a native integration of the Git workflow with the InterSystems IRIS platform. It is designed to work as a transparent link between InterSystems IRIS and a Git-enabled code directory that, once setup, requires no user interaction. A detailed description can be found on GitHub.

I am looking forward to learn what you think about this approach.Does it make sense?

Our next Developer Meetup will take place on July 26, 17:30 pm at the CIC Venture Café in Cambridge.

Join us to learn Generative AI Use Cases + Reference Architecture in Healthcare, witness the demo of LLMs in Healthcare and share your thoughts on the topic.

I am getting this "Studio Item 'Ens.StringResponse' is mapped from a database that you do not have write permission on. " if I am pressing any key in that class. I need to define some Property inside it. How Can I do the same 

Hi everybody,

I am writing an SQL query of the following form:

SELECT
(SELECTCOUNT(*) FROM DataTable WHERE Condition1 AND Condition2),
(SELECTCOUNT(*) FROM DataTable WHERE Condition1 AND Condition3),
(SELECTCOUNT(*) FROM DataTable WHERE Condition1 AND Condition4),
(SELECTCOUNT(*) FROM DataTable WHERE Condition1 AND Condition5),
user.id
FROM UserTable user

where Condition1 depends on user and is the same for all four COUNT(*) subqueries.This query is very slow, and I believe that it can be sped up significantly if Condition1 would be checked once rather than four times.

Trying my first REST call operation to our internal EMR (Epic) server, and I am receiving "ERROR #6097: Error '<READ>Read+28^%Net.HttpRequest.1' while using TCP/IP device '9999'" when I attempt to test my operation. When I look up the General Error Messages for 6097 I am seeing...Error '%1' while using TCP/IP device $zu(189,1)='%2'. What does this mean? 

I am trying to connect to the server over port 443 which is HTTPS but I am not using an SSL Configuration. Could that be the issue? 

Is there a way to debug HTTP like their is with the ISCSOAP log?

Is "time" a reserved word in the %CONTAINS function?

When I run the following SQL query, I get 0 matching results

SELECT ID, text
FROM Test.Sentence
WHERE text %CONTAINS('time') OR text %CONTAINS('time ') OR text %CONTAINS(' time')

However, when I run a query where the search string contains words other than "time" alone, it returns the expected matching results

SELECT ID, text
FROM Test.Sentence
WHERE text %CONTAINS('providers time money') OR text %CONTAINS('providers time') OR text %CONTAINS('time money')

It also works if I try to search for "tim" or "ime"

SELECT ID, text 
FROM Test.Sentence

REST API for Security Package

Hi community,

In this article, we will learn how to set up a REST API for the IRIS Security Package. We will be able to create users, roles, add applications, etc... by simple HTTP requests as well as generate a client application in ObjectScript.

Requirements

We need :

1. An IRIS instance (installation kit or docker).
2. ObjectScript package manager (ZPM).
3. (Optional) A second IRIS instance to generate an ObjectScript client.

We will use a set of existing applications and libraries on OpenExchange. The package manager (ZPM) will make their installations much easier.

InterSystems IRIS offers various ways how to profile your code, in most cases it produces enough information to find the places where the most time is spent or where the most global sets. But sometimes it's difficult to understand the execution flow and how it ended at that point. 

To solve this, I've decided to implement a way to build a report in a way, so, it's possible to dive by stack down

Hi folks!

How can I change the production setting programmatically?

I have a production that is a solution that uses some api-keys, which are the parameters of Business Operations but of course cannot be hard-coded into the source code.

E.g. here is the example of such a production that runs a connection of Telegram and ChatGPT.

And it can be installed as:

zpm "install telegram-gpt"

But now one needs to setup the key manually before using the production, having the following setting:

I'd like to set up it programmatically so one could install it as:

zpm "install telegram-gpt -D Token=sometoken"

How can I make it work?

I want to fetch both column name and value from resultset of sql query . I am using ExecDirect() method for SQL execution. 

please help me out.

I had attempted to create a REST Operation before but did not have success. As I am going through the Tutorials and Documentation everything references REST services, but I have a case where I want to create a REST Operation that makes Epic API calls against Interconnect. I have done SOAP operations before and we currently have one in our Production Namespace, but from what I understand SOAP has the wsdl which defines al the structures and etc, where REST does not. 

So how does one go about creating a REST Operation if Learning Tutorials and Documentation always talks about REST services?

I am playing around with trying to make an Epic REST API call from an operation, and from what I understood because the request has to be sent as POST, I need to send the request as JSON. However when I try taking the request and running %ToJSON against it for the payload to be created I am getting an error...

ERROR <Ens>ErrException: <METHOD NOT SUPPORTED>zgetPatientLocationByVisit+6^User.SCOTT.REST.APIOperation.1 *%ToJSON,osuwmc.Epic.Access.Request.GetPatientLocationByVisit2JsonRequest -- logged as '-' number - @' set tPayload = tRequest.%ToJSON()'

Reading the documentation I tried switching

The continuing convergence of AI technologies and healthcare systems has brought forward many compelling advancements. Let's set the scene. If you have interacted with dynamic models like ChatGPT, you might have, like many of us, begun to envision its application using your unique datasets. Suppose in the healthcare sector you wish to link this technology with Electronic Health Records (EHR) or Electronic Medical Records (EMR), or perhaps you aim for heightened interoperability using FHIR's resources.  It all boils down to how we transfer/receive contextual-data to/from LLMs available in

Hi all,

I am using ExecDirect() method to get SQL resultset of type %SQL.StatementResult. 

now I am fetch a column something like this rs.%Get("Amount") but if amount column is empty then it is return me empty string. If There is any way to set something like this in IRIS rs.%Get("Amount",0.00) if that is possible.

InterSystems announces its fifth preview, as part of the developer preview program for the 2023.2 release.  This release will include InterSystems IRIS and InterSystems IRIS for Health.

Highlights

Many updates and enhancements have been added in 2023.2 and there are also brand-new capabilities, such as Time-Aware Modeling, and enhancements of Foreign Tables (but still as an experimental feature). Note that some of these features or improvements may not be available in this current developer preview.

Another important topic is the removal of the Private Web Server (PWS) from the installers.

Based on your experience, do you know any reason why IRIS would enter a deadlock/hang state ? 

When such thing occurs, it's no more possible to connect to Portal or Studio, despite IRIS service (IRIS.EXE processes) being still active. CPU/memory/network usage are usually very low (eg: it does not occurs because server is overloaded). The only fix is a full restart of IRIS (eg: by clicking on IRIS icon in notification toolbar and choosing appropriate action).

I had that issue on a production server a few weeks ago.

InterSystems FAQ rubric

The InterSystems ObjectScript language does not allow you to define methods of the same name with different arguments. It is generally classified as a programming language called a dynamic language.

In ObjectScript, you can freely control which arguments are used when executing a method, so unlike languages ​​such as Java, which are not dynamic programming languages, there is no need to strictly distinguish methods by the number of arguments at the compilation stage.

The ObjectScript language, therefore, does not contain a language specification commonly called
