I’ve been exploring options for connecting Google Cloud Pub/Sub with InterSystems IRIS/HealthShare, but I noticed that IRIS doesn’t seem to ship with any native inbound/outbound adapters for Pub/Sub. Out of the box, IRIS offers adapters for technologies like Kafka, HTTP, FTP, and JDBC, which are great for many use cases, but Pub/Sub appears to be missing from the list.

Has anyone here implemented such an integration successfully?

For example:

• Would it make sense to leverage IRIS’s Business Service + REST API adapter to connect to Google’s Pub/Sub REST endpoints?

Hi Community,

Version 1.94 now includes: 

• Find in Explorer - Quickly find files in the Explorer view with the improved Find control. As a consequence of this, the Explorer's Find widget on server-side folders requires v2.12.9-beta.4 or later with Proposed APIs enabled. Read more in this Developer Community post.

I was wondering what best practice was for using macros in Embedded Python, i.e. iris.execute('$$$MACRO()') or something else. Does anyone have insight into this?

Introduction

In a previous article, I presented the IRIStool module, which seamlessly integrates the pandas Python library with the IRIS database. Now, I'm explaining how we can use IRIStool to leverage InterSystems IRIS as a foundation for intelligent, semantic search over healthcare data in FHIR format.

This article covers what I did to create the database for another of my projects, the FHIR Data Explorer. Both projects are candidates in the current InterSystems contest, so please vote for them if you find them useful.

You can find them at the Open Exchange:

• IRIStool and Data Manager
• FHIR Data Explorer

In this article we'll cover:

• Connecting to InterSystems IRIS database through Python
• Creating a FHIR-ready database schema
• Importing FHIR data with vector embeddings for semantic search

I have seen the Cache Python binding documentation and would like to know if it's also possible with IRIS so I can write data and also read/get it from the DB? The cachesys folder does not contain any python libraries.

This is the second post of a series explaining how to create an end-to-end Machine Learning system.

Exploring Data

The InterSystems IRIS already has what we need to explore the data: an SQL Engine! For people who used to explore data in csv or text files this could help to accelerate this step. Basically we explore all the data to understand the intersection (joins) which should help to create a dataset prepared to be used by a machine learning algorithm.

Keywords:   Jupyter Notebook, Tensorflow GPU, Keras, Deep Learning, MLP,  and HealthShare    

1. Purpose and Objectives

In  previous"Part I" we have set up a deep learning demo environment. In this "Part II" we will test what we could do with it.

Many people at my age had started with the classic MLP (Multi-Layer Perceptron) model. It is intuitive hence conceptually easier to start with.

So let's try a Keras "deep learning MLP" with standard demo data that everybody in AI/NN community has been using. It is a kind of so called "supervised learning".

Using the below python script I am getting : 

$ ./hello_world.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/wwillett/dev/vscode-objectscript/Samples-python-helloworld/./hello_world.py", line 34, in <module>
    run()
  File "/home/wwillett/dev/vscode-objectscript/Samples-python-helloworld/./hello_world.py", line 21, in run
    connection = irisnative.createConnection(ip, port, namespace, username, password)
                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
RuntimeError: * [ERROR_SEQUENCE_ERROR]

I have verified that the Gateway is running.

Hi,

I have over 36 years of experience developing solutions with MUMPS and Cache.    Additionally, I also develop in Python and HTML.

I have no experience in Vista or PSL, but I would be very happy to have the opportunity to learn it. I'm looking for a job opportunity.

Best,

Carlos

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

Hello community,

How to install the iris  package installer for Python (pip) in python and import iris package in python source code. 

import iris
class Solution():
    iris.connection()

thanks!

Within IRIS I defined a task to export audit data every day.

I provide some sample files in my GitHub repo.

I wrote ObjectScript code to import all files into otw.audit.consolidator class.

I want to use Python SQLAlchemy, pandas and sqlalchemy-iris (created by Dmitry Maslenikov) to copy consolidated audit data from my consolidator class in my IRIS container to my InterSystems Cloud SQL deployment.

I updated my Dockerfile to pip3 install sqlalchemy-iris and pandas (dataframes).

docker-compose build –no-cache in my personal AWS took 700 seconds.

Hi all,

Some days ago, I've seen a youtuber talking about how to create a neural network (sorry, is in spanish)

In short, it uses the neural network to learn how to convert degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit.
Degrees Fahrenheit = (degrees Celsius × 9/5) +32
In this video, he uses Python to create the neural network, where he creates a table with the values ​​of degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit.

I need connect to cache2016 database by python to get some data, but   I don' t know how to connect by python, did anyone know how to create connection？

If you can provide any python code, that will be better! 

Hi Developers,

Please welcome the new video specially recorded by InterSystems Product Manager @Bob Kuszewski for the 3rd InterSystems Online Programming Contest on InterSystems IRIS Native API:

⏯ Using the IRIS Native API GitHub Template

What’s the contest about?

In the last year, InterSystems added and expanded Native APIs for Java, .NET, Python, and Node.js. The Native API provides high speed access to globals, the ability to instantiate and use ObjectScript objects, and fine-grained control over transactions.

Hi all,

Does anybody have the same issue?

$ZF(-100) to run python script not work when directly execute in studio or in storedproc called by TrakCare, but can work when do in iris session.

The python script imports a "barcode" package. It seems that when directly execute in studio or in storedproc called by TrakCare, the package can not be imported.

s r = $ZF(-100,"/SHELL", "/usr/bin/python3.9","/trak/cnpubase/tc/webfiles/web/custom/CNPU/script/py/barcode/genslbarcodetest.py",keyStr,path)

import sys
import barcode
from barcode.writer import ImageWriter
spn=sys.argv[1]
name=sys.

Hi, Community!

🐍Great news—you can now use Python to customize your productions and add custom code!

Using Embedded Python in the BPL and DTL Editors

Hi,

What is the Python syntax I can use from a ClassMethod (developed in an IRIS using embedded Python), in order to invoke another class method,

- in the same class; and

- in another class.

I see 'self' is synonymous to use $this (..) in ObjectScript, but these are ClassMethods I am invoking, and self did not seem to work.

thanks - Steve
