When I try to debug using the docker image intersystemsdc/iris-community it is failing. If I change to intersystemsdc/iris-community:2022.3.0.555.0-zpm, I have success.

Sorry, change to: intersystemsdc/iris-community:2022.1.0.209.0-zpm

We have IRIS on Linux. When I create database NEO_PAVI_G by Management Portal, than owner for files and directories is "irisusr".

But owner is "mfukatko" (my username) after creating database NEO_Pxxx_G using installer based on ##class(%Installer.Manifest).%Generate() from command line in terminal.

I'd like to have same owner in both cases. Is it possible to achieve it in the second case as well?

Our manifest in istaller:

XData Install [ XMLNamespace = INSTALLER ]
{
<Manifest>
    <If Condition='(##class(Config.Namespaces).

I am using ens.BusinessService with associated adapter EnsLib.HTTP.InboundAdapter. is it possible to get the header details like Authorization and custom header that are part of the HTTP Post? 

Or, do i have to use a different service to get the payload along with the header details?

Python has become the most used programming language in the world (source: https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/) and SQL continues to lead the way as a database language. Wouldn't it be great for Python and SQL to work together to deliver new functionality that SQL alone cannot? After all, Python has more than 380,000 published libraries (source: https://pypi.org/) with very interesting capabilities to extend your SQL queries within Python. This article details how to create new SQL Stored Procedures in InterSystems IRIS Database using Embedded Python.

IRIS is a powerful platform and one of the new features is the Java Business Host (DOC: Connecting Systems Using Java Business Hosts) that allow you to develop Business Services and Business Operations directly in Java (JavaDocs of the InterSystems Gateway Package).

I was testing this feature using an IRIS Docker image, but this image doesn't come with Java, the image is a bare Ubuntu image plus IRIS. So I had to build a new image adding the Java stuff. After some research I finally get this Dockerfile:

InterSystems announces another developer preview release, as part of the developer preview program for the 2022.3. Many updates and enhancements have been added in 2022.3 and there are also brand new capabilities, such as the new FHIR SQL Builder, improvements for Columnar Storage, and adds support to SUSE 15 SP4 and Oracle Linux 9. 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.

How to manipulate the code of the studio? Error messages, adding new items in the general options, formatting of the code, code typing...

Hi All,

I am currently using D $SYSTEM.SQL.Shell() command or management portal to retrieve the data from database. I just learned we can also run cache table sql queries in MS access. MS access already installed on my machine. 

I need to ask how I can connect my database of USER or sample namespace in MS access to run these SQL queries.

Thanks in advance!!

Hi All,

I am having an SQL query (mentioned below). When I am running this query it is taking 90 min to retrieve all records (approx 1 million records).

Fetching data from 5 tables using inner join in cache. Relative cost displaying 10 million

I wan to confirm How this query can be optimized

Select Books.nam,Books.print,Books.Relativename,Books.Firstpage,Books.Lastpage,Books.trn,Books.lastissue,Books.firstissue,Books.person,Books.author,Books.price,Books.cd,Books.ab,Books.pf,Books.ju,Books.er,Books.qw,Books.qt,Books.mn

Hi ,

I am trying to work out how to install the intersystems-jdbc-3.3.1.jar file onto a windows server to set up a connection between athrid party application and an Iris database.

Is there an installer ?  the java -jar etc command does not work "could not load main class "  . Added the folder to the system path .

Running Eclipse temurin but I do not work with java at all, other than these very specific points where need to get applications to run .  

If someone could point me to a guide or instruction that would be of great assitance

I already have a working setup with:

- Ubuntu 21.10
- Unixodbc 2.3.6
- ODBC-2018.1.5.659.0-lnxubuntux64
- libcacheodbcur64.so

I have tried to update to:

- Ubuntu 22.04
- Unixodbc 2.3.9

But, i am getting  "SQLDriverConnect: 0 [unixODBC][Driver Manager]Driver does not support the requested version".

So, I have tried to switch to:

-  libcacheodbcur6435.so
- ODBC-2018.1.7.721.0-lnxubuntux64.tar

But i am getting same error. Please, could someone help me?

How can I use STREAMOID to populate an <img> tag in ZEN reports from a stored jpg in a class object

The value of Image :

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:57772/csp/dev/%25CSP.StreamServer.cls?STREAMOID=…

Snippet below:

%objlasterror is a useful reference to the last error.

Every time $$$ERROR is called, %objlasterror is set to a result of this call.

It's important in cases where you want to convert exception to status:

Try {
   //  quality code
} Catch ex {
   Set sc = $g(%objlasterror, $$$OK)
   Set sc = $$$ADDSC(sc, ex.AsStatus())
}

Because AsStatus calls $$$ERROR under the wraps, the order is important, first you need to get %objlasterror and  convert exception after that.

Introduction

There are many entities in IRIS which are extremely difficult to transfer to another system.They usually contain important system-stored objects: users, roles, privileges, mappings, and applications. The exception to this list is for resources, which are facilitated by the ability to select and save them from the management portal interface [System > Security Management > Resources] Yet, things are not as good with other system objects.

Hi *,

I want to dynamically generate the arguments of a method during compile time.

'For example, I want the following method

ClassMethod DoCleverStuf() As %Status [ CodeMode = objectgenerator ]
{
    do %code.WriteLine("    Set tSC = $$$OK")
    ...
}

to look like this in the .int code.

ClassMethod DoCleverStuf(pValue1 As %Integer, pValue2 As %String) As %Status [ CodeMode = objectgenerator ]
{
    // some generated code will be here
}

Is this possible? Or alternativel;y, can I generate a whole method at compile time?

Thanks.

I've been trying for a while to come up with a set of tools to monitor the health of a mirror set and email a report nightly on the status of the mirror, or flag issues in real time.
Making sure that all the databases are caught up, that all the mirror members are online. 

I've tried a number of methods I've found to try to access the state of the mirror and mostly found they're internal or unsupported routes, (that when questioning WRC have swiftly been removed from the online documentation.).

I have deployed code onto a site in the compiled format.

But when I try to call the code I get the error,

Is there a specific way that you need to run compiled code?

Hi All,

I am a beginner in cache. I need to extract data from multiple tables (4-5) tables based on an SQL query . The data is more than 9 lakhs of records (i checked using count). The total number columns is 16. 

When I am running this SQL query through management portal, I am getting time out exception. Could you please suggest how I can retrieve those records. Which way will be good (Dynamic query using %SQL.Statement or Embedded SQL (not known to me) or Writing to a global will help or not).

Dear Friends

I create a soap web api but return 403 forbidden, please check image below.

Your help is highly appreciated.

Hi,

Is there a way of printing out information about IRIS.DAT file eg. database name?

The reason is that I've "refreshed" TEST system from LIVE system and I'm not sure I've the copied the correct file to the correct place

on the file tree. The file tree structure shows the database that IRIS.DAT represents. 

eg. /db/HMF/IRIS.DAT should be the HMF database

Hi all,

I am trying to use some process private variables (percent variables) in Triggers.

I am referring to values from $System.Process, like the ClientIPAddress and CSPSessionID.
These do to not contain values and I suspect it is bacause of scope. I also checked, and the %session variable is not available if the change originated from a CSP request.
I know that in triggers the scope of the variables are to be kept local, that is why NEW is to be used.

Is there a way to access the Process Private Variables in Triggers or get $System.Process to return the correct values?

Thanks.

I want to refresh the TEST DB from LIVE.

On TESTTC02, I'm getting the error:
"Missing Mirrored Databases Report"

Questions.
1. What causes this problem?
2. How do I fix it?

Thanks for any help
=========================
This is the basic plan for the refresh:
DR copy IRIS.DAT files -> TESTTC01
TESTTC01 IRIS.DAT files -> TESTTC02

These are the details:
SMP=System Management Portal – the GUI web interface into IRIS admin
DRTC01=DR node of LIVE (async mirror)
TESTTC01=Primary member
TESTTC01=Backup member

This is what I did:
0. on TESTTC01 SMP, "Remove Mirror Configuration"
1. Copied IRIS.

Some technical background information

There is not just one class in this package:  rcc.gstream.cls but also rcc.gstreamT.cls

While rcc.gstream works with direct access to the stream globals, the *T version uses
a Process Private Global (PPG) as Temporary storage.
using  SELECT * FROM RCC.gstreamT WHERE RCC.useT('^jpgS')=1 and similar.

This might be an advantage for multiple access to the same stream in sequence,
The advantage is obvious: You have a personal snapshot in memory and no risk of
a conflict in access. This might be interesting if you work just on 1 specific stream.

I have the following servers in IRIS mirror set:
Arbiter; isc_agent only
LIVETC01; IRIS DB full install; Primary
LIVETC02; IRIS DB full install; Backup

A couple of days ago IRIS hung.
The application using LIVETC01 DB stopped functioning.

I'm trying to find out the sequence of events leading up to the failure.

I see these entries in the log:
Arbiter:
2023-01-17T15:54:56 ISCAgent: Arbiter client error: Message read failed.
2023-01-17T15:54:56 ISCAgent: Completed serving application: ISC1ARBITER
2023-01-17T15:54:56 ISCAgent: Arbiter client error: Message read failed.

I have a production with one Business Host - a Business Service which I need to scale automatically to consume ~80% of CPU time.
Business Service pulls data from a (non-FIFO) queue so that I can adjust pool size without any issues.

So far, I'm planning a different BS running every X seconds and sampling CPU with $system.Process.GetCPUTime() and scaling the pool size of the main BS up/down based on that metric.

Has anyone tried something similar? Any advice/code samples would be appreciated.

Applications that work with bill payments and receipts, as well as the delivery and inventory of items, generally require the use of barcodes or QR Codes. The latter is used in even broader scenarios since the QR Code can store more information than a simple bar code. Thus, it is important to have the ability to generate barcodes and QR Codes or read the data stored in them from an image or a PDF. This article will show you how to do this using Python and some of its free libraries.
