Hi

We are just looking to migrate to IRIS under windows and as the IRIS databases are 8k just wondered if anyone has configured windows with a block size for the database drive other than the default 4k.

Any thoughts ?

cheers

Hi all!

I'm sharing a tool for data ingestion that we have used in some projects.

DataPipe is an interoperability framework for data ingestion in InterSystems IRIS in a flexible way. It allows you to receive data from external sources, normalize and validate the information and finally perform whatever operation you need with your data.

Model

In first place, you need to define a model. A model is simply a class that extends from DataPipe.Model where you need to implement some methods:

In the model you specify how are you going to serialize / deserialize the data, how you normalize and validate it

The following code snippet uses GZIP to compress/decompress a file. Choose a file by specifying a file path in the "filename" variable.

Class objectscript.GZIP Extends %RegisteredObject
{
	classmethod test() {
		//Export Global(s) uncompressed
		set filename="C:\Temp\myglobal.xml"
		do $System.OBJ.Export("^oddEXTR.gbl",filename)
		//Open exported Globals
		set uncompressed = ##class(%FileBinaryStream).%New()
		set uncompressed.Filename=filename
		Set compressed = "C:\temp\mycomglobal.xml"
		//Open File Device over Gzip and Copy Uncompressed information to it
		Open

Setting the Scene

Suppose you have the following 2 persistent classes that are both JSON-enabled (i.e. extends %JSON.Adaptor or %pkg.isc.rest.model.adaptor)

Class Test.Employee Extends (%Persistent, %pkg.isc.rest.model.adaptor) { 
  Parameter RESOURCENAME = "employee";
  Parameter firstName As %String;
  Parameter lastName As %String; 
  Relationship projects As Test.Project [ Cardinality = many, Inverse = employee) ];
}

Class Test.Project Extends (%Persistent, %pkg.isc.rest.model.adaptor) {
  Parameter RESOURCENAME = "project"; 
  Parameter name As %String; 
  Relationship employee

Hello,

Could someone help me with a solution, for example "dump" to IRIS.DAT, I mention that it is difficult to manipulate a file of ~ 200 GB. I would be interested in generating an IRIS.DAT file containing the "schema" without any information.

Thanks !

Good Morning All!

We would like to add our custom reporting with the IRIS database which is running on IDX at client server. Would need a technical documents which allow us to review the tables and its definitions. I tried to install ODBC but it not showing the schema of all tables.

Hi all,

I am trying to understand how to work with Analytics but I get the message "Analytics is not enabled in the USER namespace"

How can I enable that for my namespace?

I am currently using iris-community:2023.1.0.185.0.

Thanks in advance!

Hello!

We have an integration that reads a file from labresults and needs to be transformed into another file format.

The transformation and incoming file correlate against a schema. In that schema there is a type declared as %xsd.double.
As these values ​​are labresults, we are not allowed to change the expression of the value in any way. For example, 1.0 must not become 1. And 2 must not be written as 2.0. As well as 0.3 must not be written as .3 and so on.
I am not allowed to change the type in the schema to %String. I am not allowed to change anything in the schema at all.

I've tried and

Once again I had a challenge that costed me some time and a lot of testing to reach the best solution. And now that I've managed to solve it, I'd like to share a little bit of my knowledge.
 

What happened?

In a namespace there were a lot of similar classes, so to make them simpler there were a superclass with comon properties. Also, there are relationships between them. I had to export one of them to JSON, but I couldn't change the superclasses, or I would break down the flow of many other integrations.

What made it all difficult was the problem that my JSON

 InterSystems announces its second developer preview, as part of the developer preview program for the 2023.1 release. Many updates and enhancements have been added in 2023.1 and there are also brand-new capabilities, such as production-ready support for Columnar Storage, ability to use Bulk FHIR, and support to MacOS 13 Ventura. Some of these features or improvements may not be available in this current developer preview.

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

Such most popular nowadays CI platforms as GitHub and Gitlab, offers the ability to run any docker image as a service, mostly useful for integration tests.

And I could define a GitHub workflow like this for instance, for some of my Python project which, requires the connection to IRIS

Any ideas on how this can be solved?

I need to use it with some Unicode text, in Docker image. And get this error. And documentation says nothing about it.

test

USER>do$zf(-100, "/SHELL", "echo", "test тест")

DO$ZF(-100, "/SHELL", "echo", "test тест")

I know that it works in some Linux environments without Docker, but no idea where is the difference.

I got access to the new Bing this morning and thought I would try out some things on it. Below are a series of screenshots of what I searched and the results.

Dear community members!

A very common problem of our users is to use an external database as data source in an IRIS production. As many of you already know, we have two ways to connect directly to an external database, the first one is using an ODBC connection, the second is using JDBC.

In our example we are going to create a connection using JDBC, and we are going to build a simple Docker's project, in this way you will be able to modify the example as you wish.

The code is available from this URL: https://github.com/intersystems-ib/workshop-sql-jgw

Hi

I am upgrading our application from dotNet Framework to dotNet Core.

Prior to the upgrade I was able to connect to both my Cache & IRIS instances using the IRIS ADO.NET driver.

However, in dotNet Core, whilst I can connect to IRIS, I get the following error connecting to Cache.

InterSystems IRIS Provider is not compatible with Cache xDBC server
 

I am using the IRIS  driver from the Windows (x86-64) 2022.1 distribution (the one in dev\dotnet\bin\net5.0).

The cache version is Cache for Windows (x86-64) 2018.1.2

Hi Team,

Here we have requirement to send json data from on-premises iris to business service in cloud iris namespace. we have firewalls opened.

So I have a base string that I want to sign using RSA-SHA256. I have a .p12 file and passphrase to get the RSA Private key using NodeJS (pem.readPkcs12 library), which I don't know how to do that in intersystems as well. (would appreciate if you can include a solution for that too)
The main problem here is I am trying to sign a string and print the result to terminal, using the code below in a routine (.mac file).

Hi,

I'd like to try out irissqlcli.

My  server, that has IRIS installed on it, is SUSE (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP1).

How do install this product from GitHub? Detailed instructions would be great!

It would be best if I can download the software from GitHub and then get pip to install from that downloaded file repo.

The recommended:

pip install -U irissqlcli

does not work and comes back with "

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement irissqlcli (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for irissqlcli
"

Once I have this program installed:

irissqlcli -h

With InterSystems IRIS 2022.2, we introduced Columnar Storage as a new option for persisting your IRIS SQL tables that can boost your analytical queries by an order of magnitude. The capability is marked as experimental in 2022.2 and 2022.3, but will "graduate" to a fully supported production capability in the upcoming 2023.1 release. 

The product documentation and this introductory video, already describe the differences between row storage, still the default on IRIS and used throughout our customer base, and columnar table storage and provide high-level guidance on choosing the appropriate storage layout for your use case. In this article, we'll elaborate on this subject and share some recommendations based on industry-practice modelling principles, internal testing, and feedback from Early Access Program participants. 

It's time to announce the winners of the InterSystems Developer Tools Contest! 

But first, we'd like to say Thank you to all our amazing participants who submitted 21 applications 🔥
