I was trying to see if we could connect to another Server, we use to execute external scripts using %Net.SSH.Session.

TESTCLIN>set sshSession = ##class(%Net.SSH.Session).%New()

TESTCLIN>set user = <omitted>

TESTCLIN>set host = <omitted>

TESTCLIN>set privateKey = "/nfs/data/ssh/<omitted>"
TESTCLIN>set publicKey = "/nfs/data/ssh/<omitted>.pub"
TESTCLIN>Set statusConnection = sshSession.Connect(host)

TESTCLIN>set statusAuth = sshSession.

Access IRIS Terminal Session using WebTerminal. I noticed that the $P or $PRINCIPAL system variable is defined as //./nul

When logging into Terminal via Management Portal, $P = |TRM||$J

Because of this, we cannot get into Programmers Mode via ^%SYS.PMODE

Any ideas?

Can someone help me understand what type of user error (?) is going on here please?

One one system, I write out a group of $c() values and get the expected results:

USER>for i=250:1:260 { write i," ", $c(i),! }

On another system, I get some unexpected results:

I'm working with IRIS for Health. I need to abort all messages currently in the queue via the command line (IRIS terminal). is there any easy way?

Hello, how are you?

First of all thanks for your time reading this question.

We are investigating how to validate the indexes of a global. We have read:

https://docs.intersystems.com/irisforhealth20251/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI…

And:

https://docs.intersystems.com/irisforhealth20251/csp/documatic/%25CSP.D…

We want to validate the inxedes of the global titled "Ens.Util.LogD". We have executed on the ObjectScript terminal, on the desired namespace:

ESBSSCC>set tSC = $SYSTEM.OBJ.

Hello Community
I was running code in the terminal and attempted to interrupt its execution. During that process, I encountered an application error with a log entry dated 01/06/1841, the date seems unusual.

Error <INTERRUPT>ErrST+6^%ETN occurred within %ETN itself. Detailed information cannot be logged.

Windows 10/Windows Server 2016:

I am currently monitoring our license use with a new rest-service I am implementing when I noticed my licenses on my instance being consumed and never released by Visual Studio Code.

For this I restarted my Instance, watched the licenses for a while, which remained at 1 during idle (I am guessing my MMGT Portal session uses 1) 
But when I connect to my Instance using Visual Studio Code (with my Instance setup in the extension already), suddenly 2 licenses are used.

Hi folks!

I'm building a very simple REST API.

But before testing it via a Web Server what I want to make sure that REST API methods work in principle.

Is it an easy way to "fake" the web-server request and get a result e.g. of the method with signature like that?

ClassMethod GetAllRecords(pRequest As %CSP.Request, pResponse As %CSP.Response) As %Status

e.g. calling it in Terminal?

Hello Community,

Is there any way to permanently clear all the commands displayed in the line recall History. The :clear deletes all the commands in that particular process/recall buffer.

Thanks!

I am developing locally on my IRIS instance using VSCode and client-side editing approach. How can I automatically export a single .cls file/a whole package to a remote TEST/PREPROD server using a script or command line and recompile the unit remotely? Are there any more simple and straightforward ways than CI/CD explained in the series of articles by Eduard?

I have three different methods for exporting classes and projects as XML files, but each one produces slightly different output:

1. Studio (what I currently use for exporting): I export as a project (with the 'only project' option disabled). This generates all classes and the project in a single XML file.
2. VS Code: This method only exports the classes, and it doesn't include the project in the XML file.
3. Console export using %SYSTEM.OBJ.Export: I used the following command to attempt the same export as Studio: do ##class(%SYSTEM.OBJ).Export("MyProject.Prj, MyProject.*.cls", "TempDir/MyProject.

If anyone has experience debugging Embedded Python or has insight into why an ObjectScript method when called from a Python method would not work but would work when called directly via ObjectScript or in a Python shell, your help would be appreciated! 

We have an ObjectScript ClassMethod called GetTemplateString() which takes in a templateName of String type and uses the template name to get the template object, access the Code, and read the code into a templateString. The string version of the Code is returned.

Hi

I have a question about terminal, when I run a class from it that contains an error I get a report of error as I would expect, and then an apparently random three letter code is appended to the namespace name in the prompt, as shown below.

GMMHTIE>do ##class(temp.Nothing).What()
 
 w !, tParisAnswer
      ^
<UNDEFINED>zWhat+23^temp.Nothing.1 *tParisAnswer
GMMHTIE 2d1>

Then, when I try to enter a command I get an error

GMMHTIE 2d1>do ##class(temp.Nothing).What()
 
DO ##class(temp.Nothing).What()
^
<COMMAND>^temp.Nothing.

Hello everyone,

I have an issue related to Visual Studio Code and its InterSystems extension when exporting routines from the database to the file system.

The code entered via the terminal editor is encoded in DOS code page 437, but when I export it to my file system, even if I set the file opening to DOS CP 437, the accented characters which are two bytes long cause problems.

Regardless of the test settings I've tried, the only one that retains meaning is CP 437, but I get an unnecessary character preceding my accented characters.

Hello everybody, 

I've been experimenting with Embedded Python and have been following the steps outlined in this documentation: https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cl…

I'm trying to convert a python dictionary into an objectscript array but there is an issue with the 'arrayref' function, that is not working as in the linked example.

This is a snapshoot of my IRIS terminal: 

USER>do ##class(%SYS.Python).Shell()

Python 3.10.12 (main, Nov 20 2023, 15:14:05) [GCC 11.4

Hi,

I have an odd problem that occurs when I'm trying to import lookup tables in the XML format into Studio.

I store my files in in C:\CodeRepository.

I can manually import these lookup tables using "Import local..." option in the InterSystems Studio. 

However, when I'm trying to import them using command in terminal: do $system.OBJ.LoadDir("C:\CodeRepository\","ck")

I'm getting the following error:

Loading file C:\CodeRepository\Title.lut.xml as xml
ERROR #5863: Another user has 'Title.LUT' open for editing.

I am trying to add Web Terminal as a feature for my team to use. 

I installed webterminal via zpm "install webterminal" ran on %SYS on our Development box.

%SYS>zpm "install webterminal"

How can I check the currently installed version number of an ISCAgent running as the Arbiter in a Red Hat instance?

I can check the properties on a Windows system. I doesn't seem to respond to a --version argument in terminal.

I just realized that operating system command execution does not work on Windows console if the IRIS service is started using a different user than Local System account (the default).

I always change the user configured in the IRIS service and I believe this is a standard good practice, particularly in "real" environments (be it production, stage, test or development) that are part of Windows Active Directory Domain.

When IRIS service starts using any user, including Administrators members, using "!" or "$" from the terminal prompt to run a OS command fail, nothing happen.

Hello Everyone,

We currently have CSP application that runs under 2 servers(usually primary), and every month the server reboots for patching SERVER1(primary) in the morning and SERVER2(backup) at night.

Whenever the SERVER1 reboots SERVER2 behaves as primary and when SERVER1 comes back up it will act as backup server.

First Patching:

So, when SERVER1 is down, I need to start httpd service for SERVER2 and stop httpd service for SERVER1 (which is now backup server).

I tried using the code below in terminal to start httpd service for SERVER2 with no success.

For my Embedded Python ONLY demo package I need some user input.
Similar to ObjectScript

read "say somthing",reply

I use the Python equivalent

reply = input("say something")

And this works excellent without problems  from Terminal or Doker console

BAD SURPRISE: 
withWebTermnial ObjectSscript works fine, but embedded Python fails badly.

I do not care about line terminators without <CR>
but it is just impossible to receive any input.

This is no improvement. The content is missing !!!!

QUESTION to the experts.

Hello,

I have set up a Docker image with IrisHealth Community Edition and created a backup of all databases with the Management Portal. Obviously, the restore requires a different way, i.e. a terminal or session needs to be started to use a "Do ^DBREST".

Due to the manual first a session (which is probably same as iristerm terminal) needs to be started:

docker exec -it iris iris session iris

If I enter "DO ^DBREST", I get the answer:

<NOROUTINE> *DBREST.

I assume that when I start the session that way I get logged in as "USER", at least the prompt "USER>" indicates this.

Hey ISC Community!

For a small automation feature I would like to login to the IRIS shell non-interactively, skipping the whole username and password prompts, providing the credentials through other means. Something in the fashion of "iris session <instance-name> --user myuser --pass mypass" would be great, but the session tool itself doesn't seem to be capable of doing this.

Does anyone know a way to accomplish this? It need not be through "iris session", any way that can be automated would be fine. Disabling authentication for the terminal is not an option, though. 

Visual Studio Code, like Atelier, connects to IRIS through the Web Server and a web service, unlike Studio that connect to the SuperServer port.

What about the VS Code terminal?  Does that open a shell with SSH or does it also use a web service?

In other words, does an IRIS developer using VS Code need direct access to the IRIS instance with SSH or the SuperServer port, in addition to the external or private web server to execute terminal commands?

Is that different with linux vs. Windows?

Hi folks!

When I launch IRIS as a docker container instance, e.g. like this one:

docker run --name iris-sql -d --publish 9091:1972 --publish 9092:52773 intersystemsdc/iris-community

And then try to connect to it e.g. via irissqlcli it says I need to change the password:

irissqlcli iris://_SYSTEM:SYS@localhost:9091/USER

Password change required

I know that I can open Management portal http://localhost:9092/csp/sys/UtilHome.csp and change password manually, but is there a programmatic way?

Say if I have a password in a file and I can just provide it to docker instance for the change?

Hey all!

I was wondering if anyone had any input on how to troubleshoot classes in a terminal session? I'm currently writing an "adapter" so that way we can encrypt and decrypt files through GNUPG (PGP keys).

I currently have a %RegisteredObject class for this and am running into the excruciating pain of testing this. Every time I make a change on the RegisteredObject I have to renew the class and all of its properties in order to test the newly compiled code that I have written. I know that this doesn't seem like too much of a hassle, but after doing it multiple times it becomes tiring.

I've been trying for a while now to get OS authentication working on IRIS running on Ubuntu 20.04 and subsequently 22.04. I have the following authentication methods enabled for %Service_Terminal:

• Operating System
• Password
• Operating System Delegated Authorization

And i have these options selected in Authentication/Web Session Options:

But when logging in via iris session <instancename> I am always prompted for a username and password. I am logged into the operating system with a username that matches my IRIS username, and the same configuration and login method works fine on Red Hat 8.5.

I was able to run the Cache terminal from the command prompt with the following command, in the namespace that I provided in the brackets:

cterm /console=cn_ap:ENSEMBLE[TEST_1]
But the command suddenly stopped opening the terminal in the correct namespace. It just opens it in the default namespace. I tried it with different namespaces or invalid namespaces, it always opens the terminal in the default namespace now.

I cannot figure out what is causing this behaviour.
