Introduction

Visual Studio Code (VS Code) is a free source code editor made by Microsoft for Windows, Linux, and macOS. It provides built-in support for JavaScript, TypeScript, and Node.js. You can add extensions to provide support for numerous other languages including ObjectScript.

The InterSystems extensions enable you to use VS Code to connect to an InterSystems IRIS server and develop code in ObjectScript. The Visual Studio Code Documentation is an excellent resource on VS Code, so it is a good idea to be familiar with it.

Hello everyone,

I am looking for the syntax or the way to use a class created in the "BNA" Namespace (my application) from the %SYS Namespace.

Here is the context:

I have a "BNA" application contained in the "BNA" NS, this application provides a user creation functionality. This feature creates both the user in a table in the application and in the Iris system.

I created an initialization script for my database to be able to reset it at will, this script starts by emptying the database of this data, then initializes the basic data.

I just realized that for the latest version of IRIS for Health 2023.3 the method InstallFoundation from HS.HC.Util.Installer has just disappear. I checked the official documentation (here) but I can't find any reference to it like in previous versions (here).

Is there anyway to create it by code?

Hi community,

We have a developed a new version of a production, all the code is new and has changed BP. This application load information for some brands and stored in database.

The customer wants to implement the changes only for some brands because he wants to check for small brands before to implement for all brands.

My proposal is create a new namespace, with the new code, and disabled all load of brands except the brand that he wants to check.

I'm wondering what is the best way to clone the namespace.

My first attempt is to make a copy of the databases (data and code) of namespace 1, create

Hi 

I'm having a tidy up of code across my multiple namespaces, and have moved the common code to a new database called DEVTOOLS.

Currently, I'm copying code and updating code into new namespaces. 

How might I make code from namespace available to others?

Cheers

Andy

I have been struggling with a docker run command that kept crashing, the error message was too generic to point me to the right direction.

Since the container is shut down after the failure, I was unable to login to it in order to figure out the problem.

I had to run the container in a way that I'll be able to log into it before it crashed, so I found the adding  -u false prevents the docker run command to run the iris session IRIS and the container stayed up and running. then I was able to log into it using:

docker exec -it <container id / name> /bin/bash

inside the container I was able to try

Hi,

Our application needs to create system users from a request form.

To use Security classes, it is necessary to have rights to use the %SYS namespace, which is not the case for users who validate requests.

It is not desirable for these users to have this role permanently, so I proceeded as follows:

I created a facade class for the Security.Users, Security.Roles, Security.Resources classes which allows me to log in with an authorized user on the NS %SYS

Here is an example method:

ClassMethod Modify(name As%String, ByRef properties As%String) As%Status
{
    set who = $USERNAMEdo%session

K9s is a terminal-based UI (aka kubectl clown suit), to manage Kubernetes clusters that drastically simplifies navigating, observing, and managing your applications in K8s, including Custom Resources like the InterSystems Kubernetes Operator (IKO) and ArgoCD Applications. If you are about to take your CKD, CKA, or CKS, leave k9s well enough alone for awhile as the abstraction to kubectl will become the standard for navigating the cluster and you will undoubtedly become estranged to the extended flags of kubectl and bomb the exam.

Currently I have a program that is going to be used to compare global nodes between namespaces. Using nested FOR statements I am stepping through global nodes and comparing between the namespaces, if the global values are different I then parse the node comparing each delimited segment.

This is working.

I want to now be able to set what global I am in as a variable to expand on this concept. 

Program architecture

1.Initializing program that has user prompts to change starting nodes.This program contains the FOR nests to step through nodes.

Hey Community,

Enjoy watching the new video on InterSystems Developers YouTube:

⏯ Why Use Multiple Namespaces in Health Connect

I have created a global say ^myglobal and entered some data. I am storing the name of global in databases and fetching the name based on some criteria. I am getting "^myglobal" in return from databases but i am not able to fetch the data I stored in the global. 

I tried set var = result.global which gives me "^myglobal" in var. Doing WRITE var will return "^myglobal" and not the data i stored in this global.

I want to fetch value from a global without being limited by the namespace.  Is there any way of referencing the values from a global to a different namespace?

Hi All.

Had an empty Ensemble namespace (interoperability enabled) which the customer had requested renaming before beginning development, so was wondering about best practice to achieve this.

I saw on the docs (https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cl…) that this can be done with management portal and terminal commands but it seemed simpler to just create a new namespace and delete the old. The way I did this was to create a new namespace using 'Copy from' the existing, then delete the old one.

my questions are:

Hey all,

I'm trying to enable an existing namespace to be Ensemble enabled by doing the command do ##class(%EnsembleMgr).EnableNamespac($namespace,1), but I'm still getting the error message. Is there something that I'm missing? 

I've attempted to reboot the server and even went incognito to see if it was a caching issue, but I'm still not able to create an Ensemble production in that namespace.

When I do a write ##class(%EnsembleMgr).IsEnsembleInstalled() it returns a 1. The same goes for the command write ##class(%EnsembleMgr).IsEnsembleNamespace().

Any assistance that can be provided would be

Hi 

I have a  Zen Page with tablepane which has a datasource in a different namespace to that of the Zen Page. When the page is run, no data is returned and the tablepane is not populate,  even though the rerferenced table contains dat.

The tablePane code is as follows:

<tablePaneid="DataExtractionCurrent"showZebra="true"cellSpacing="2px"OnCreateResultSet="DataExtractionCurrent"></tablePane>

The OnCreateResultSet points to the following method:

Method DataExtractionCurrent(Output tSC As%Status, pInfo As%ZEN.Auxiliary.QueryInfo) As%ResultSet [ ZenMethod ]
{
  	new$namespacese

Can I please check if anyone know why the data base resource is created differently when creating a namespace after specifically selecting it to use the default resource %DB_%DEFAULT?

I created a namespace and when creating the DB I selected the option to use the default resource

When the namespace creation was complete , database is using a new resource instead of the default. 

How to create and delete a namespace from the terminal?

Hi folks!

Is there a way (function) to know the name of the database for data of the current namespace?

I take the case where we have one database for data and another database for code in a namespace.

Thanks!

Hi,

I have a CSP page that is supposed to show some user info (Full name and some other properties retrieved from AD)

I am unable to get them outside of %SYS namespace using Security.Users class. Is there another mechanism to do that, or I am using Security.Users class incorrectly?

Hi everybody,

Is there a way to run code on another machine? Of course, all authentication info is known. I know only about RemoteResultSet but that seems to be query specific.

Thanks in advance,

P.S. The ultimate goal, in case that matters, is to create identical globals on 2 different machines with one run.

We have multiple edge production namespaces and want to run query to get errors/alerts from Ens_Util.Log table across namespaces. is it possible?

Hi,

I am attempting to set up a security role for our support team so they can have read access to the production and messages.

I have given the role RW rights on the resource associated with the database. However, when I log into Management Portal and select "Ensemble", the "Available Ensemble namespaces" list is empty.

What permissions do i need to set to be able to navigate to the production?

Thanks in advance,

Carl

Edit:

Just in case it is of any future use to anybody; adding R permission on %DB_CACHESYS and %DB_HSSYS solved the problem of not being able to navigate to the production from the

Hi folks!

When I start IRIS in docker every time I do the following:

$ docker-compose exec iris iris session iris

Is it possible to have an open terminal command connect to a particular namespace?

Hi All,

We have a licensed version of Ensemble but for now, we use only the DB capabilities of Cache. As we create a custom Namespace, for e.g "Test", a new Ensemble Namespace is automically created by the system --"TestENS".

Is there any way where we can identify the system created ENS namespaces ?

In a fresh IRIS Community Edition container if we create a new Database and after we create a new Namespace enabling it for interoperability then we will see the message "ERROR #68: the mounted database count exceeds license limit"

Here is an ObjectScript snippet which lets to create database, namespace and a web application for InterSystems IRIS:

	set currentNS = $namespace
	
	zn "%SYS"
	
	write "Create DB ...",!
	set dbName="testDB"
 	set dbProperties("Directory") = "/InterSystems/IRIS/mgr/testDB"
 	set status=##Class(Config.Databases).Create(dbName,.dbProperties)
	write:'status $system.Status.DisplayError(status)
	write "DB """_dbName_""" was created!",!!
	
	
	write "Create namespace ...",!
	set nsName="testNS"
	//DB for globals
	set nsProperties("Globals") = dbName
	//DB for routines
	set nsProperties("Routines") = dbName
	set status=##Class(Config.Namespaces).Create(nsName,.nsProperties)
	write:'status $system.Status.DisplayError(status)
	write "Namespace """_nsName_""" was created!",!!
	
	
	write "Create web application ...",!
	set webName = "/csp/testApplication"
	set webProperties("NameSpace") = nsName
	set webProperties("Enabled") = $$$YES
	set webProperties("IsNameSpaceDefault") = $$$YES
	set webProperties("CSPZENEnabled") = $$$YES
	set webProperties("DeepSeeEnabled") = $$$YES
	set webProperties("AutheEnabled") = $$$AutheCache
	set status = ##class(Security.Applications).Create(webName, .webProperties)
	write:'status $system.Status.DisplayError(status)
	write "Web application """webName""" was created!",!
	
	zn currentNS

When we go to specific name space to search messages in message viewer, at the moment we are adding the search criteria to add criterion type as SearchTable Field, and clicking the dropdown in Class field, there is an error says below in the image:

Could anyone please let me know what exactly the error is from? Thanks so much.

Have enabled LDAP for our numerous , Ensemble, IRIS and cache instances with many namespaces. All is working fine and the ldap logins work.

But have noticed that the first instance that the user logs into the namespace is assigned to that user, but when that user than logs into another instance the default namespace from the first login is still there and doesn't update to the new namespace.

So this doesn't effect the ldap login but is now effecting the terminal logins where the user is now getting access denied.

Not sure why the first namespace is not being replaced by the current namespace.
