#InterSystems IRIS

Let's say you have Python including variable-length arguments methods. How can you call it from ObjectScript? 

deftest1(*args):return sum(args)
  
deftest2(**kwargs):
  a1 = kwargs.get("a1",None)
  a2 = kwargs.get("a2",None)
  return a1+a2

You can call this "a.py" from ObjectScript as below.  For **kwargs argument, create Dynamic Object in ObjectScript and put it into methods with <variablename>... (3 dots) format. 

set a=##class(%SYS.Python).Import("a")
    write a.test1(1,2,3)   ;; 6set req={}
    set req.a1=10set req.a2=20write a.test2(req...)   ;; 30

I know that a TCP connection sends back an ACK, but what about REST, SOAP, HTTP, etc..?

InterSystems has corrected a defect that can cause corruption of databases and journal files on AIX systems with IBM POWER8 or later POWER processors. This defect can be triggered only when database or journal encryption is in use.

 To trigger this defect, the following conditions are required:

• The environment uses database or journal encryption
• The environment also uses data-element encryption
• An encryption key used for data-element encryption has been deactivated

If the environment satisfies all these conditions, then the key schedule used for database or journal encryption can become

Hi *.*,

I am new to IRIS, IKO and IAM. I have read through a lot of the documentation, but I need clarity on some things that I can't find in the documentation.

• Which Load Balancer does IKO use on the ingress?
  Can it be set to use another one? e.g. nginx-kubernetes + GCP LoadBalancer?
• On a multi-compute and multi-data instances deployment, how do you get to the Management Portal of each instance?
  i.e. The load balancer is the only point of entry into the cluster exposing 1972 and 52773, so how do I route to the individual instances?
• If using IAM, will this be on a VM running in a

Hi developers!

Want to share with you an exercise I tried with InterSystems IRIS Interoperability.

The sample shows how to use IRIS Interoperability with data transformation component to change the data in CSV file.

The story is below.

Hi Developers!

There is a recent update came for developer community images of InterSystems IRIS and IRIS For Health.

This release comes with Environment variables support.

Currently 3 variables are supported:

• IRIS_USERNAME=user to create
• IRIS_PASSWORD=with password
• IRIS_NAMESPACE=create namespace if doesn't exist

Here is what you can do - see below.

Start iris with your username and password created:

docker run --rm --name iris-sql -d -p 9091:1972 -p 9092:52773  -e IRIS_PASSWORD=demo -e IRIS_USERNAME=demo intersystemsdc/iris-community

Deltanji 7.1 is now available.

Key updates include: 

* Interoperability Production component driver included, for customers who have purchased the add-on. You can watch a short demo of it here.
* Implement multi-select delete of objects and components
* Add setting to give a passable Beyond Compare launch command line
* Support simplified Locations & Routes diagram 

For more information, read the release notes here >> https://bit.ly/3mHyJHc

Please get in touch with support@georgejames.com for your release kit. 

The update is also available for Serenji debugger users on VS Code, which has the Deltanji solo edition embedded. Simply update the Serenji extension to version 3.2.3 or later and load the server-side code. 

Git stores complete history - meaning you would never lose your files, even if they are deleted, they are still available. That, however, presents an issue if large or sensitive files have been committed. Deleting them DOES NOT remove them from history. Recently one of the repos I work on became unexpectedly large, so here's how you can resolve that:

Hi Devs!

For me, one of the most painful things about ObjectScript is ##class(Class).Method() typing to call a class method in code or in a terminal. I even submitted an idea to simplify it in ObjectScript.

But! There is a new feature in VSCode ObjectScript that was just introduced to the plugin - Copy Invocation!

Just hover Copy Invocation link above every classmethod in a code, click on it and the invocation is copied to the buffer:

Paste it anywhere you want it to execute!

USER>w ##class(dc.sample.ObjectScript).Test()

Bazinga!

Here is the video that shows how it works.

Many thanks to the VSCode

Hi Developers!

As you know InterSystems IRIS Interoperability solutions contain different elements of the solution, such as: production, business rule, business process, data transformation, record mapper. And sometimes we can create and modify these elements with UI tools.  And of course we need a handy and robust way to source-control the changes made with UI tools.

For a long time this was a manual (export class, element, global, etc) or cumbersome settings procedure, so the saved time with source-control UI automation was competing with lost time to setup and maintain the settings.

Now the problem doesn't exist any more. With two approaches: package first development and usage of IPM package git-source-control by @Timothy Leavitt

The details are below!

A common need for our customers is to configure both HealthShare HealthConnect and IRIS in high availability mode.

It's common for other integration engines on the market to be advertised as having "high availability" configurations, but that's not really true. In general, these solutions work with external databases and therefore, if these are not configured in high availability, when a database crash occurs or the connection to it is lost, the entire integration tool it becomes unusable.

In the case of InterSystems solutions, this problem does not exist, as the database is part and the core

I have a %GlobalBinaryStream object that I'm trying to save as a local file after being received through a SOAP Web Service.

To do this, I created a %Stream.FileBinary object and wanted to set where the stream copied to this object would be saved by using either the DefaultStreamDir() ClassMethod or the NewFileName() ClassMethod. However, the documentation isn't very helpful on how to use these ClassMethods.

Right now, I have the below code:

set localStream = ##class(%Stream.FileBinary).%New()
set st = localStream.CopyFromAndSave(file) /// file is the %GlobalBinaryStreamObject

I have a csp page that is using embedded Runtime Expression (https://docs.intersystems.com/ens201817/csp/docbook/Doc.View.cls?KEY=RC…) and within that expression I am using a $data() modulo 2 to look for root-level data elements (https://docs.intersystems.com/ens201817/csp/docbook/Doc.View.cls?KEY=RC…).

E.g:

#($select($data(^ImportantFlag)#2:"Important!",1:"Normal"))#

However, my modulo sign (#) after the $data() call is seen as the ending tag for the runtime expression resulting in a broken compilation.

Does anyone know if there is a way to escape )# or just # in a CSP

I have seen this post and appreciate that discussion: API RESTful Version | InterSystems Developer Community | Business Service

However our org requirement is for a caller to provide the API version in the HTTP request header.  I am finding the cleanest way to route to the correct class using the header version.  My classes are setup as

API.Service.v1

API.Service.v2

Of course only v1 exists now but when v2 goes live on future day, API.Service.v2 will extend API.Service.v1 so we only have to override the method that changes or add a new method if needed.  

I thought I might be able to modify

Hi Community,

It is a recommended security practice to login into sensitive Administrator Portals without any input passwords. Thus, it is necessary to identify and authenticate the users correctly. A common technique employed by web portals and mobile applications is to use Google social login. Today, Google Gmail has 2 billion users (source:https://www.usesignhouse.com/blog/gmail-stats). Therefore, it is a perfect shared login service to utilize to login InterSystems IRIS users when they need to manage their instances. This article will detail all the steps to embed Google Login into your InterSystems Management Portal.

Hi Developers!

Here is the score of technical bonuses for participants' applications in the InterSystems Developer Tools Contest 2023!

We have a rule to disable a user account if they have not logged in for a certain number of days. IRIS Audit database logs many events such as login failures for example. It can be configured to log successful logins as well. We have IRIS clusters with many IRIS instances. I like to run queries against audit data from ALL IRIS instances and identify user accounts which have not logged into ANY IRIS instance.

Instead of running queries against many IRIS instances, I developed audit-consolidator to consolidate audit data from many IRIS instances into ONE database table to run queries against the

When you install an IRIS or Caché instance on Windows Server, you'll usually need to install it under a specific user account that has network access permissions. This is very handy when you needs to access network resources for creating files or directly accessing printers.

TL;DR: see key takeaways at the bottom!

When you need to change the Windows user account the IRIS/Caché service is running as, you can configure (after installation):

• for IRIS (also see the docs): 

  <install-dir>\bin\IRISinstall.exe setserviceusername <instance-name> <username> <password>

Within IRIS I defined a task to export audit data every day.

I provide some sample files in my GitHub repo.

I wrote ObjectScript code to import all files into otw.audit.consolidator class.

I want to use Python SQLAlchemy, pandas and sqlalchemy-iris (created by Dmitry Maslenikov) to copy consolidated audit data from my consolidator class in my IRIS container to my InterSystems Cloud SQL deployment.

I updated my Dockerfile to pip3 install sqlalchemy-iris and pandas (dataframes).

docker-compose build –no-cache in my personal AWS took 700 seconds.
