Recently i've been using Restforms2 to create a CRUD API for a project. But it lacks some advanced functionality that we need, so we have created a production with a REST WS which handles those advanced methods. That works great but there's a drawback, it does not have authentication. 
I would want to use the same authentication method as Restforms2 which is a basic auth using IRIS users and passwords. 
Searching for this, i have found a similar topic.It uses $SYSTEM.Security.Login(user, pass) in a similar manner to create a token.

Does anyone happen to have a sample Configuration (CPF) Merge file that includes Action parameters setting up authentication methods (e.g. Password, Kerberos) for certain Services and Web Applications (e.g. via the ModifyService or Modify/CreateApplication AutheEnabled property)?

Thanks!

I am trying get the Unix time stamp  in milliseconds

set epochSecond= $ZDATETIME($ZTIMESTAMP,-2)*1000

but the result is not accurate as $ZDATETIME ignoring /truncating  the fraction of the seconds and the milliseconds calculation is not accurate with fraction seconds

for example

set epochSecond= $ZDATETIME($ZTIMESTAMP,-2)

1675830682

when its converts to the milliseconds

it became 1675830682000. not the accurate fractional seconds. 

My target system looking for the milliseconds time stamp to authenticate. 

Could you please help with steps to return the unix timestamp in milliseconds

Thanks

Hello guys,

i try to call a Operation within 3 foreach loops. 

When i try to do this, i always get the following error: 

I dont get any Errpr when i log my request message at this time i want to call a operation. 

Everything works and i get no error. But when i try to call the operation i get this error.

Then i tried to call a operation in the first Level (not in a ForeachLoop) it works. 

I simply call the operation with the RequestMessage from my Service.

When i now try to copy this call into the third Level (within 3 foreachloops) Then i also get this error.

I dont know what i am doing wrong...

Hello, friends who are developing IRIS. I recently participated in the InterSystems Developer Tools Contest. This time, I made a tool based on the idea described in an article I published earlier as a template for quick query of messages. Currently, you only need to establish entity classes in IRIS, Then record the message corresponding to the entity class in the specified lookup table, and all the key fields generated in the message can be inverted indexed (the concept in ElasticSearch), which is convenient for quick query. The following is the design idea of my program.

So, I know that I can return a SQL Error message from my SQL Procedure written in ObjectScript, with code like this

$ cat <<EOF | irissqlcli iris://_SYSTEM:SYS@localhost:1972/USER
CREATEorREPLACEPROCEDUREtest()
LANGUAGE OBJECTSCRIPT
{
 SET %sqlcontext.%SQLCODE = 400SET %sqlcontext.%ROWCOUNT = -1SET %sqlcontext.%Message = "test error message"
};

CALLtest();

EOF
[SQLCODE: <-400>:<Fatal error occurred>]
[Location: <SPFunction>]
[%msg: <test error message>]

But I did not find how to do it with Python. I can't find %sqlcontext variable available there

Hi Community
In this article, I will demonstrate the functionality of my app iris-geo-map
 

IRIS Geo Map application is a tool to visualize geographic data by generating interactive maps by using Embedded Python functionality. Application is using Folium Python library

folium builds on the data wrangling strengths of the Python ecosystem and the mapping strengths of the leaflet.js library.Manipulate your data in Python, then visualize it in on a Leaflet map via folium.folium makes it easy to visualize data that’s been manipulated in Python on an interactive leaflet map.

I copied a 5 MB messages.log file to AWS where I have iris-log-viewer app deployed. I ran the test to see how it takes in IRIS code to import the lines into a persistent table:

IRISAPP>set m5mb="/home/irisowner/irisdev/messages.old_20221231.log"

IRISAPP>

IRISAPP>do ##class(otw.log.irislogreader).Test1(m5mb)
Test1 begins at 02/05/2023 12:49:30
ReadLogLines
/home/irisowner/irisdev/messages.old_20221231.log
Open
Test1 ends at 02/05/2023 12:49:34
Test1 execution time: 3.500789

select count(*) from otw_log.Log

63239

It took 3.5 seconds and I had 63239 lines in the table.

As my entry into InterSystems Developer Tools Contest happening now I have been working on an alternative to the Console Log Viewer web page provided as part of InterSystems IRIS Management Portal. Console log is a file called messages.log. It is what InterSystems support asks me to send to them when I open a support ticket. Working on IRIS containers deployed in the cloud it is not straight forward to copy the messages.log file to a place where I can attach it to an email. Iris-log-viewer app provides a Download link to download messages.log from any browser.

Hi Community!

I want to share with you mi first Open Exchange application.

It's a tool to made our developments easier. It's a micro service in a IRIS docker that help us in our new features giving us a way to add short links in our SMS, Email campaigns and for links of the different stores for our apps.

It's very easy to use it.

Simply clone this repo:

https://github.com/daniel-aguilar-garcia/cos-url-shortener.git

Open the folder in VSCode and start the docker.

After that you can create short link version of any link via api request. For example with Postman:

Body: Long url that you want make

If you want to know more about a new project or generate a new way to see your project, the better way is using mindmaps or markdown documentation. The IRIS Connections allows to you generate the mindmap for your classes and get your classes documentation in a markdown file.

I developed iris-log-viewer on a work laptop using an older version of IRIS. My messages.log file has nearly 10k lines. I noticed it takes a couple of seconds to read messages.log file line by line, import each line into a persistent class, and display messages on my screen. I wonder if Python can speed up the process.

I developed EmbeddedPython class. Initially I imported a python script file to read messages.log file in Python. Later I figured out how to write a Python classMethod where I invoke IRIS classMethod to import one line at a time while reading messages.log.

I developed

Usualy, if you want to deploy a solution, you need to add the items, configure your lookup tables and default configuration manually. 
It's okay if you have all the permissions and privileges to perform these actions. If you want to deploy to a client's production server, and you don't have the permissions, you need to indicate in a document ALL the steps that the deployment manager has to perform. 

Hi everyone,

I have been reading up a bit on projection. I found a reference made to %Projection.Monitor on this page.

However, I cannot find any further information on %Projeciton.Monitor. What is it? How does it work? How do you use it? What value does it add?

Thank you.

For quite some time I am bored by slowly starting Docke Demos from OEX.
I type

docker-compose up - d

and after a few seconds

docker-compose logs

And I just see ISC Agent was started and is hanging around
No IRIS instance is up yet.

The last days I've work with the great new feature: LOAD DATA With this post I would like to share my first experiences with you. The following points do not contain any order or other evaluation. These are only things that I noticed when using the LOAD DATA command. It should also be noted that these points are based on the IRIS Version 2021.2.0.617 which is a preview release. So it may be that my observations do not apply to newer IRIS versions. But maybe they are helpful for others.

I have done my first tests via JDBC.

We have created a number of REST adapters that extend %CSP.REST and these have been working fine.  However, we are now facing a problem with a new one where very large XML documents are being posted.  This is the pattern we are following:

Set inMsg = %request.Content.Read()

Set tSC = ##class(Ens.Director).CreateBusinessService("Epro_ItkHttp",.tBusinessService)

Set tSC = tBusinessService.ProcessInput(inMsg, .tBusinessServiceOutput)

However, when the %request is particularly long, it is being truncated, and working with %XML.Reader then fails in the business service class.

I believe the call to Read(

I have code hier and trying to view diacrit character

Class Test.REST.Services Extends EnsLib.REST.Service
{

Parameter ADAPTER = "EnsLib.HTTP.InboundAdapter";

Parameter EnsServicePrefix = "^TEST";

XData UrlMap
{
<Routes>
<Route Url="/dio/:Resource" Method="GET"     Call="getDio" />
</Routes>
}

Method getDio(pInput As %Library.AbstractStream, Output pOutput As %Stream.Object, pResource As %String) As %Status
{
    
        set status = $$$OK
        do pOutput.SetAttribute("ResponseCode","200")
        set messageBuffer = "{""text"":""Patiënt""}"
        do pOutput.Write(messageBuffer)
        do

The power of the presented tool becomes visible with a large JSON file.
The example I have prepared is composed of the daily results of AoC 2023.
Anonymization makes it usable for demo purposes.

Early Access Program (EAP) is a way to to deliver specific features early to a group of people who will test and provide feedback on that feature.

One of those EAPs is about the the discontinuation of the Apache web server installation (a.k.a. NoPWS) from IRIS product installers. If you're interested in this topic and want to test it, the way to register is to send an email to nopws@intersystems.com. Use this same email for any other feedback.

Once you get a confirmation email, you'll see the EAPs you have access in the Evaluation Services website. You must log in to see the content.
