Hey community! 

It's time to elevate your unit tests to the next level with iris-TripleSlash new solo feature!

We are bring to the game Setup and Tear down events!
Just add description on class, with special tags like:

• beforeAll
• beforeOne
• afterAll
• afterOne

The tripleSlash will turn it to:

• OnBeforeAllTests
• OnBeforeOneTest
• OnAfterAllTests
• OnAfterOneTest

And that's not all! The new double dot abbreviation feature allows you to effortlessly call methods and simplify your code, i.e.:

///<example>
/// Write .

Hi folks!

I'm playing with IRIS interoperability at the moment and it turned out that Data Transformation cannot be the element of production by itself.

It can be called either from data rule or from business process.

But why? 

What if I just want to change the message with the transformation and transfer the message somewhere else? Why the overhead with Rule or Business process?

Hi Developers!

Suppose you have a persistent class with data and you want to have a simple Angular UI for it to view the data and make CRUD operations.

Recently @Alberto Fuentes described how to build Angular UI for your InterSystems IRIS application using RESTForms2. 

In this article, I want to tell you how you can get a simple Angular UI to CRUD and view your InterSystems IRIS class data automatically in less than 5 minutes.

Let's go!

From where I can download the latest version of IRIS.  

Schematron is a rule-based validation language for making assertions about the presence or absence of certain patterns in XML documents. A schematron refers to a collection of one or more rules containing tests. Schematrons are written in a form of XML, making them relatively easy for everyone, even non-programmers, to inspect, understand, and write

Sessions and specifically %session are paramount to our application to login users to the application (the Web Gateway user logs into the server and then users login to the application).  

When using /api/mgmnt/v2 to implement a spec first approach to REST API development, I am unclear how I can utilize sessions (i.e. %session) to work with our existing model (and I'm sure there are indeed better ways to do this, but we are just baby stepping right now). Much of the documentation say to make sure UseSession=1 in the dispatch class is set, which I've accomplished.

I use the following code (which is a simplified version of what happen on a server) :

tstart
for I=1:1:N {
  set test = ##class(Test.Test).%New()
  set test.ID = I
  do test.%Save() //create a "Exclusive_e->Delock" lock on ^Test.TestD(..)
}
hang 5
tcommit //locks are removed here

Test.Test is a persistent class that inherit from %Persistent :

Class Test.Test Extends %Persistent
{
   Property ID As %Integer [ Required ];
   Index IDKEY On ID [ IdKey ];
   //

Hi Community,
In this article I will demonstrate below steps to add Interactive map and visualize geographic data to web application:

• Step1 : Install Application
• Step2 : Create CSP Page
• Step3 : Extend dc.IrisGeoMap.Folium class
• Step4 : Invoke DrawGeoDetails() Method

So Let us start.
 

Step1 : Install Application

First of all we need to install iris-geo-map application by using ZPM

zpm "install iris-geo-map"

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!

Hey Developers,

Enjoy watching the new video on InterSystems Developers YouTube:

⏯ Introduction to AutoML @ Global Summit 2022

InterSystems announces its first developer preview, as part of the developer preview program for 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.

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
CREATE or REPLACE PROCEDURE test()
LANGUAGE OBJECTSCRIPT
{
 SET %sqlcontext.%SQLCODE = 400
 SET %sqlcontext.%ROWCOUNT = -1
 SET %sqlcontext.%Message = "test error message"
};

CALL test();

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.

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.

IRIS Connections installation

If you want to install using ZPM:

zpm:USER>install iris-connections

If you want to install using Docker:

1. Clone/git pull the repo into any local directory:

$ git clone https://github.com/yurimarx/iris-connections.git
