InterSystems ObjectScript is a scripting language to operate with data using any data model of InterSystems Data Platform (Objects, Relational, Key-Value, Document, Globals) and to develop business logic for serverside applications on InterSystems Data Platform.
I was wondering if anyone had come across a way of reformatting ObjectScript within VSCode.
I have the various Intersystems Extensions installed (InterSystems Language Pack, InterSystems ObjectScript, InterSystems ObjectScript Extension Pack, InterSystems Server Manager) but a formatter does not seem to be something included within this variety of extensions.
I'm scraping my way through some code that's been around for a while, and came across the use of $ZTRAP and (dear GOD) GOTO for trapping and handling errors.
In an effort to "modernize" it and make it, I don't know, less M-ish (sorry old-timers!), I'm replacing it with Try/Catch blocks.
Some questions:
Is this a dumb idea?
Anything I should look out for?
Did I hurt anyone's feelings?
And if the answer to number 3 is Yes, my deepest apologies ... I love you guys! 🤩
Let's say I have an InterSystems IRIS instance with 6 Namespaces:
Foo1
Foo2
Foo3
Foo4
Foo5
Bar
And the number of Foo# namespaces can increase at any time for a number of reasons. I need to ensure that they all have identical configuration globals stored in a DB called CONFIG, so I do the following in my configuration file:
Recently, I've been working on a Business Process that processes a large JSON FHIR message containing up to 50k requests in an array within the JSON.
Currently, the code imports the JSON as a dynamic object from the original message stream, obtains an iterator from it, and processes each request one at a time in a loop.
I have a table that is already created and contains data. I need to create a unique constraint that is a combination of two fields. Is there a way to do this in a SQL statement? Also, I would lke to know how to add it in the table class.

Recent updates to the Intersystems Language Server introduce many significant enhancements aimed at improving developer experience and productivity. I'll talk about some of the key ones here, while the complete list, including numerous bug fixes, can be found in the Language Server's CHANGELOG.

Following the latest programming contest on OEX I had some surprising observation. There were almost exclusive applications based on AI in combination with pre-cooked Py modules. But digging deeper, all examples used the same technical pieces of IRIS.
Seen from point of view of IRIS it was pretty much the same whether searching for text or searching for images or other pattern. It ended in almost exchangeable methods.
First of all, let us have a brief overview of the framework.
The entire world is talking about ChatGPT and how Large Language Models(LLMs) have become so powerful and has been performing beyond expectations, giving human-like conversations. This is just the beginning of how this can be applied to every enterprise and every domain!
Trying to pass pdf to save to custom file using default Trying to pass pdf to save to custom file and %f. but oriignal filename didn't send (it does in terminal). What is missing from setting filename from stream? can the file passthrough not out of box use outputfilename or has wrong default one been sent.
We have a yummy dataset with recipes written by multiple Reddit users, however most of the information is free text as the title or description of a post. Let's find out how we can very easily load the dataset, extract some features and analyze it using features from OpenAI large language model within Embedded Python and the Langchain framework.
The TIMESTAMP type corresponds to the %Library.TimeStamp data type (=%TimeStamp) in InterSystems products, and the format is YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.nnnnnnnnn.
If you want to change the precision after the decimal point, set it using the following method.
A number is Esthetic if, in any base from base2 up to base10, the absolute difference between every pair of its adjacent digits is constantly equal to 1.
We have a custom business service that is triggered by a scheduled task. The service queries a table, iterates over the result set and sends a message on to a business process for each result. Happy path functionality is all fine.
However, when there is an error detected in the business service code, neither throwing an exception nor returning an error %Status behaves as we'd expect.
In our previous article, we explored how to send emails through Microsoft 365 using the Graph API. Since then, an anonymous client reached out to me about setting up some other methods of notifications through that API.
The basic idea is to use Vectors in the mathematical sense. I used geographic coordinates. These are of course only 2-dimensional but much easier to follow as vectors in text analysis with >200 dimensions.
Hi, please let me know where i find details on Objectscript internal implementation - is it an interpreted language ? - compiled into binary code (how - which compiler/toolchain ?) ? - support of LLVM ? thanks a lot Frank
Accessing Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) buckets programmatically is a common requirement for many applications. However, setting up and managing AWS accounts is daunting and expensive, especially for small-scale projects or local development environments. In this article, we'll explore how to overcome this hurdle by using Localstack to simulate AWS services. Localstack mimics most AWS services, meaning one can develop and test applications without incurring any costs or relying on an internet connection, which can be incredibly useful for rapid development and debugging. We used ObjectScript with embedded Python to communicate with Intersystems IRIS and AWS simultaneously.Before beginning, ensure you have Python and Docker installed on your system. When Localstack is set up and running, the bucket can be created and used.
A few weeks ago I posted an announcement about a JavaScript-based interface for our mg_web WebServer interfacing addon module. mg_web isn't just restricted to use by JavaScript developers though. Many readers will be ObjectScript developers who are more used to using CSP as their web gateway. Some may even have much older legacy WebLink-based applications (and be wondering how to support them given that IRIS does not support WebLink).
Building my tech. example provided me with a bunch of findings htt I want to share. The first vectors I touched appeared with text analysis and more than 200 dimensions. I have to confess that I feel well with Einstein's 4 dimensional world. 7 to 15 dimensions populating the String Theory are somewhat across the border. But 200 and more is definitely far beyond my mathematical horizon.
Is there a way to exclude specific members from a class when exporting to an XML or UDL file? Bonus question: is there a way to import from that file without overwriting those members that were excluded?
The use case is to export an interoperability production class without the ProductionDefinition XDATA. We plan to source control the production items through the Ensemble Deployment Manager, but we still need to export any custom code in the class definition itself.
We are using the IRIS cloud. and I am working on a DTL .
so the source side timestamp is local time for example 20240110134740, I know it is a local time. so the requirement is I need to append the UTC at the end, like -0400 or -0500 depending on if it is daylight saving time.
so is there function to return if current day is at daylight saving time, so I can decide if I need to append the -400 or -500? or a function to return the current UTC by location?
