Hi Developers!

There is a recent update came for developer community images of InterSystems IRIS and IRIS For Health.

This release comes with Environment variables support.

Currently 3 variables are supported:

  • IRIS_USERNAME=user to create
  • IRIS_PASSWORD=with password
  • IRIS_NAMESPACE=create namespace if doesn't exist

Here is what you can do - see below.

Start iris with your username and password created:

docker run --rm --name iris-sql -d -p 9091:1972 -p 9092:52773  -e IRIS_PASSWORD=demo -e IRIS_USERNAME=demo intersystemsdc/iris-community

We have a rule to disable a user account if they have not logged in for a certain number of days. IRIS Audit database logs many events such as login failures for example. It can be configured to log successful logins as well. We have IRIS clusters with many IRIS instances. I like to run queries against audit data from ALL IRIS instances and identify user accounts which have not logged into ANY IRIS instance.

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 Community,
In this article, I will introduce my application iris-mlm-explainer

This web application connects to InterSystems Cloud SQL to create, train, validate, and predict ML models, make Predictions and display a dashboard of all the trained models with an explanation of the workings of a fitted machine learning model. The dashboard provides interactive plots on model performance, feature importances, feature contributions to individual predictions, partial dependence plots, SHAP (interaction) values, visualization of individual decision trees, etc.

I have Audit consolidator deployed in AWS where I scheduled Audit Export task to run daily.

Xml files are stored in mgr directory because the task runs in %SYS namespace.

Data Initialization

1. Create a table with sql statements

create table IF NOT EXISTS MLTEST_MSG.HeightWeightPredictMSG (Id int primary key identity(101,2),number varchar(50), Height float, Weight  float);

create table IF NOT EXISTS MLTEST_MSG.HeightWeightMSG (Id int primary key identity(101,2),number varchar(50), Height float, Weight  float);

create table IF NOT EXISTS MLTEST_MSG.FamilyMSG(id int primary key identity(101,2),Csex int, Family float,Father float,Mother float, num int,Height float);

Question Jack Boulton · Mar 16, 2023

Hi all,

I'm trying to use LOAD DATA to insert 11k (11,377) rows of data. LOAD BULK DATA is not available for the version of IRIS I am using.

After calling LOAD DATA it says only 5,500 rows has been inserted. The LOAD DATA docs says any error rows are skipped and a count of skipped rows can be found in %SQL_Diag.Result however there are no results here. There are no errors in the xDBC error log either.

Why have over half the rows been skipped?

In the vast and varied SQL database market, InterSystems IRIS stands out as a platform that goes way beyond just SQL, offering a seamless multimodel experience and supporting a rich set of development paradigms. Especially the advanced Object-Relational engine has helped organizations use the best-fit development approach for each facet of their data-intensive workloads, for example ingesting data through Objects and simultaneously querying it through SQL. Persistent Classes correspond to SQL tables, their properties to table columns and business logic is easily accessed using User-Defined Functions or Stored Procedures. In this article, we'll zoom in on a little bit of the magic just below the surface, and discuss how it may affect your development and deployment practices. This is an area of the product where we have plans to evolve and improve, so please don't hesitate to share your views and experiences using the comments section below.

Question Pravin Barton · Apr 7, 2023

On an IRIS system, we expect the default string collation for SQL columns to be SQLUPPER. This means WHERE conditions will be case-insensitive. However, when I make a WHERE condition on a SQL procedure that returns a string, it's case sensitive.For example:

Class Sample.Person Extends%Persistent
{

Property Name As%String;ClassMethod Test() As%String [ SqlProc ]
{
    return"Abe Lincoln"
}

}

Question Matjaz Murko · Apr 1, 2023

Hi.

I have a query:

SELECT '['||Material->Sifra||'] '||Material->Opis AS Material,
       SUM(MasaBlago) AS MasaBlago
 FROM Tehtanje.Dokument
 WHERE DatumDokumenta BETWEEN '01/01/2023' AND '04/01/2023'
 AND (Material->Sifra %INLIST $LISTFROMSTRING('5,7',','))
 GROUP BY Material
 ORDER BY %EXACT Material

The query returns all rows where Material->Sifra is 5 or 7. That's OK.

If I want to get all rows where Material->Sifra is NOT 5 or 7 I use query:

Question Dmitry Maslennikov · Apr 3, 2023

In some testing scenarios, I need to clone the database. While I use only SQL access.

I need all data to be cloned, not mapped from the original database, and a separate database to be accessed.

Is there any way to do so?

Something like

CREATEDATABASE [Databasetocreate]
WITHTEMPLATE [Databaseto copy]

Question Michoel Reach · Mar 28, 2023

In the documentation  Data Types | Caché SQL Reference | Caché & Ensemble 2018.1.4 – 2018.1.8 (intersystems.com)

it says that "by default, Caché establishes a system-wide ODBC VARCHAR maximum length of 4096; this ODBC maximum length is configurable"

Per instructions, I went to SMP -> System -> Configuration -> General SQL Settings, where most of the fields from  $SYSTEM.SQL.CurrentSettings()

appear. That one does not.

How does one change it, and can it be increased?

Thanks!

Quick Tips: Total Productive Maintenance

Named parameters can be achieved with SQLAlchemy :  

from sqlalchemy import create_engine, text,types,engine

_engine = create_engine('iris+emb:///')

with _engine.connect() as conn:
    rs = conn.execute(text("select :some_private_name"), {"some_private_name": 1})
    print(rs.all())

or with native api

from sqlalchemy import create_engine, text,types,engine

# set URL for SQLAlchemy
url = engine.url.URL.create('iris', username='SuperUser', password='SYS', host='localhost', port=33782, database='FHIRSERVER')

_engine = create_engine(url)

with _engine.connect() as conn:
    rs = conn.execute(text("select :some_private_name"), {"some_private_name": 1})
    print(rs.all())

Introduction

Say you have a receiving system that accepts HL7 and provides error messages in field ERR:3.9 in the ACK it returns. You require a different reply code action depending on the error message, however the Reply Code Actions settings for the operation do not provide this level of granularity. One option could be to create a process that takes the ACK and then completes the action you were expecting, however things can get a bit messy if the action is to retry the message, especially when trying to view a message trace.
