I am having a datatype DATE value from db 41966. And I want to convert it to epoch time.
Also, in case of DATETIME value how can I convert it to epoch.

Are you all ready for something you wish you knew ages ago (or, in my case, a DECADE ago)?  Open up a portal in your favorite instance and go to:

System Administration->Configuration->Additional Settings->Startup

Scroll down to "Terminal Prompt" and click 'Edit'.  This allows you to edit what you see on your terminal prompt.  You can change that to my current setting: 8,3,2

What does this do?  It adds your instance name for your prompt.

As you know, if you regularly read the articles that are published in the Community, last May InterSystems organized the JOnTheBeach2023 Hackathon held in Malaga (Spain). The topic that was proposed was the use of predictive analysis tools that InterSystems IRIS makes available to all developers with IntegratedML. We must thank both @tomdand @Dmitry.Maslennikovfor all the work and effort they put into making it a resounding success.

Introduction

A password manager is an important security tool that allows users to store and manage their passwords without the need to remember or write them down in insecure places. In this article, we will explore the development of a simple password manager using the Flask framework and the InterSystems IRIS database.

Key Features

Our password manager application will provide the following key features:

1. User registration with account creation.
2. User authentication during login.
3. Adding new passwords with a title, login, and password.

This project is implemented as a tool for viewing temperature data taken from a temperature sensor installed in Rasperry PI and located in a remote place where there is Internet, for example, in dacha.

The module for regular reading and sending information is implemented in python and is built in the same project. If the temperature in the country house becomes lower or higher than the threshold values, then a notification will be sent to the telegram channel.

Our objective

In the last article, we talked about a few starters for Django. We learned how to begin the project, ensure we have all the requisites, and make a CRUD. However, today we are going a little further. 
Sometimes we need to access more complex methods, so today, we will connect IRIS to a Python environment, build a few functions and display them on a webpage. It will be similar to the last discussion, but further enough for you to make something new, even though not enough to feel lost.

I want to get SOAP Location details dynamically from Management portal using Property value?

Is there any idea to get it? Any example please?

Hi all,
I am using ExecDirect() method to execute my SQL query which is something like "SELECT * from Account where AccountNumber = ? "
But when I am providing a accountnumber that don't exists it doesn't return anything as aspected. while I am trying to check resultset.%SQLCODE in this case it is giving me 0 not 100. What's wrong with my SQL query and Also I there any other Property through which I check for if my resultset is null or it has some values.

Prediction of server configuration for entry

The platform server entry configuration prediction application connects to Iris in Java and uses its Integrated ML technology to analyze data such as hospital outpatient volume, number of services, number of messages, and message save time. It can predict the server configuration required for the hospital entry platform before the hospital integration platform enters, providing convenience for customers.

It's time for a Code Golf round!

Isogram 

A word or phrase that has no repeating letters, consecutive or non-consecutive.

Implement a method that checks if the received string is an isogram or not.
Assume the empty string is an isogram. 
Ignore the letter case.

Allowed inputs: A-Z, a-z.

As usual, the shortest solution wins!

Hello Community!!

I just upload my lastest application "IRIS Api Tester" to the Open Exchange. 

It's a docker project with InterSystems IRIS + Newman that will allow you to test your Postman Collections in a quick and easy way..

It's ready to work out of the box, you just have to clone the repo: https://github.com/daniel-aguilar-garcia/irisapitester

Run the docker-compose file:

I want to deploy IRIS apps running in containers in Kubernetes with user accounts configured.

I have a %ZSTART routine which looks for an XML file with Users export data and if the %ZSTART routine finds this file, it imports it. This Users export data can be obtained by running a class method.

I have defined a task which can be scheduled or run on demand. This tasks imports user data from an XM file.

In Kubernetes I can provide a ConfigMap to stage the Users data for the %ZSTART routine.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have git installed.

I created a git folder inside the IRIS mgr directory. I right clicked the git folder and chose Git Bash Here from the context menu.

git clone https://github.com/oliverwilms/csp-log-tutorial.git

Clone my csp-log-tutorial GitHub repo if you like to try it out for yourself.

I will describe in this tutorial how I try to use access.log and CSP.log files in webgateway pods to track requests and responses.

My team works with IRIS containers running on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (Kubernetes) in AWS.

InterSystems IRIS Cloud SQL is a fully managed cloud service that brings the power of InterSystems IRIS relational database capabilities used by thousands of enterprise customers to a broad audience of application developers and data professionals. InterSystems IRIS Cloud IntegratedML is an option to this database-as-a-service that offers easy access to powerful Automated Machine Learning capabilities in a SQL-native form, through a set of simple SQL commands that can easily be embedded in application code to augment them with ML models that run close to the data.

Today, we announce the Developer Access Program for these two offerings. Application developers can now self-register for the service, create deployments and start building composable applications and smart data services, with all provisioning, configuration and administration taken care of by the service.

Hi Community,

Watch this video to see how to expand or truncate a database using the Management Portal in InterSystems IRIS data platform, and learn about the best times to do each:

⏯ Managing Database Size

Motive

Am just plain curious about how people may be approaching this area.

The Question

The %SYSTEM.License API wraps an IRIS key that is specific to a range of InterSystems products with

•  Platform features
•  Platform behaviors
•  Expiry date
•  Capacity / Usage limits

If a company is implementing deployed products that:

• run on top of IRIS
• optionally support other vendor IRIS products

For example:

• a "plug-in" API
• a knowledge-base

And they have an IPM deployed solution.

ZPM is designed to work with applications and modules for InterSystems IRIS Data Platform. It consists of two components, the ZPN Client which is a CLI to manage modules, and The Registry which is a database of modules and meta-information. We can use ZPM to search, install, upgrade, remove and publish modules. With ZPM you can install ObjectScript classes, Frontend applications, Interoperability productions, IRIS BI solutions, IRIS Datasets or any files such as Embedded Python wheels.

Hi all

I need to do hardware maintenance on a physical HealthConnect server which forms one half of a mirrored pair, and  It will require multiple restarts.

So, I will need to prevent any HealthConnect services from restarting until all maintenance is completed. Is this just a case of disabling the service "HealthConnect Controller for <SERVERNAME>", or is there anything else I need to be aware of?

Hello Community!

I'm going to try to explain how to create test for Postman collections for use it with my app IRIS Api Tester.

Yet, What is Newman?:

Newman is a command-line tool that allows you to run Postman collections in an automated and scalable way. By creating tests in Newman, you can ensure the reliability and correctness of your API endpoints. In this article, we will explore how to create tests for Newman in Postman, along with practical examples to help you get started.

InterSystems FAQ rubric

For volatile tables (tables with many INSERTs and DELETEs), storage for bitmap indexes can become inefficient over time.

For example, suppose that there are thousands of data with the following definition, and the operation of bulk deletion with TRUNCATE TABLE after being retained for a certain period of time is repeatedly performed.

Class MyWork.

My major interest is  Working with Globals in Embedded Python.
So I checked the available official documentation.

#1 Introduction to Globals
an attempt of a generic description of what a global is. Pointing to

#2 A Closer Look at ObjectScript
But where is Embedded Python ?
Way down you see

#3 Embedded Python

3.1 Embedded Python Overview
3.1.1 Work with Globals
Great if you have never seen a Global before
Otherwise a shocking primitive example
3.2 Using Embedded Python
Last hope: >>> but there is just NOTHING visible.
This is more than just disappointing! Even IRIS Native API for Python is more detailed.

Hi folks!

How can I refer to a classmethod of the same class while coding another classmethod with Embedded python?

I know that I can call it with iris.cls(classname).MethodName(), but it's more cumbersome even comparing with ObjectScript, where I can call ..MethodName().

Compare ObjectScript:

do ..SetupGame()

and the same call in EmbeddedPython:

    iris.cls('eshvarov.sample.SeaBattle.GamePython').SetupGame()

Thoughts?

Hi All,
I was creating a unit test directory with the below script. But it not creating any directory as mentioned in code. I am working on MacBook with irisusr User as standard installation process.

if '$data(^UnitTestRoot) {

set mainFolder = "UnitTest\NewDir\"

set st = ##class(%File).CreateDirectoryChain(mainFolder _ testSuite)

if $$$ISOK(st) { set ^UnitTestRoot = mainFolder }

else {

write !, "UnitTestRoot folder could not be created. Consult with instructor."

do $system.Status.DisplayError(st)

}

}

Getting INVALID OREF error while unit testing. Also ResultDyanmicObj.Headers.%Size(),DummyResponse.Headers.%Size() these are working fine getting 7 value from both. but still it is not working.

do $$$AssertEquals(ResultDyanmicObj.Headers.%Size(),DummyResponse.Headers.%Size(), "Validation for Headers")

error - INVALID OREF>TestAccountSearchWithoutAccount+6

Hi All,
I want to write testcase in objectscript but stuck at this point where I am getting a DynamicObject from the class method and how can I assert this and check it is okay. 
Also if in any case error It will throw error custom exception class that I created. How to handle assertion for exception in this case also.

Hi All,

I am trying to execute my SQL query using ExecDirect() method and it returns a ResultSet. No doubt it works fine after this I am trying to fetch each value using a loop code below. But before that, I am also checking for %SQLCODE = 100 which is for an empty resultset I think. However, It is not working as desired. In the case of an empty resultset also I am getting %SQLCODE = 0 until result.%Next() is called. Also, %ROWCOUNT is giving 0 in a case where my query is return 1 result row. I am so confused about this.
while resultset.%Next() {

// code

}

I have latest VS Code 1.50.1 and latest ObjectScript extension.

For some unknown reasons, my IRIS icon disappeared from VS Code activity bar.

How can I get my IRIS icon back?
