Hi,

I want to get the status of a Production (Running, Stopped), Queue length, Time the Production started

I did this:

>zn "test"
>set status=##class(Ens.Director).GetProductionSummary(.pinfo)
>write status
1
>zwrite pinfo
pinfo("PKG.FoundationProduction")=$lb("Stopped","","",0)
pinfo("Report.Print.EnsemblePrintService")=$lb("Stopped","2021-02-09 23:15:57.538","2021-02-09 23:16:15.264",0)
pinfo("TC.hmf.Production")=$lb("Stopped","","",0)
pinfo("TC.hmf.System.Production")=$lb("Running","2025-10-30 10:18:24.

Hi,

To add or get information about a user for the management portal you can [within the portal]:
 System Administration > Security Management > Users 

Is it possible to:

1. List a user, user's properties including roles

2. Add a user and set user's properties including roles

3. Set a user's password

for the management portal using a program eg. Objectscript and/or SQL?
If so, how can this be done?
It would be great if you have examples.

Hi,

I have a mirrored database called ROUTER.

I have a primary server T1 and a "Disaster Recovery" server T2.

When I activate ROUTER database on T2, I get the error it says the "Database could not be mounted".

I went to the audit database and it shows "Attempt to access a protected database".

T2 in mirror monintor shows "Connected" "Caught up" "Warning! Some databases need attention"

T2 show the ROUTER database as being "Mounted/R"
Both T1 & T2 are Linux servers. The ROUTER database file IRIS.DAT have the same Linux permissions

All productions on T1/T2 are not running.

I'm confused about the differences between a namespace and a database.

I understand that a database is a single IRIS.DATA file in a directory in the os hosting IRIS.

What is the difference between a namespace and a database?

Can I write data into a database without specifying a namespace?
If so how do I write to a particlar DB in objectscript?

Does a database have to be in a namespace?
Can a database be in more than one namespace?

Can a namespace have only one 'routine' database and only one 'data' database?

Hi,

I want to write a program to:

- list all defined namespaces

- for each namespace, the databases making up the namespace

Python would be ideal but ObjectScript is OK.

Would someone know how to do this?

Thanks

I have a Linux server that has multiple instances installed on it (according to my documentation).

What is the best command to show:

- what instance are installed?

- what instances are running?
I did run 'iris list' but it shows only one instance.

Hi,

Has anyone used 'IO-Redirect' package?

https://openexchange.intersystems.com/package/io-redirect

IRIS for me runs on a Linux server.

I want the package to be able to supply "answers" from a Linux OS file in response to a program run as follows:
do ^ADMIN
I'm assuming that the program does objectscript reads from the terminal

Questions

1. Is docker required? Docker is not installed on the server.
2. Would the package be able to handle redirect I/O in this case?
    Would I have to write extra code (objectscript) to read the Linux file as a "stream"?
3. How would I  install the package?

Hi,
I want to automate a menu based program for which I don't have the source

If I run it interactively I do this:
do ^<program>

It presents a menu and then you can go down further menus

Based on the selection it may ask for answers to other questions.

Is there some way I give the program a "response" file?

If not would I be able to use I/O redirection for this task?
Inputs would come from a file.
Output should go to the terminal (so I monitor how far the process has gone)

I have seen some examples of redirection code and it seems quite complicated.

IRIS runs on a Linux server

Hi,

I running an SQL so I can find the databases with the largest amount of free space. This is in case I can compact the databases.

However SQL cannot find the SYS.Database table.

Can someone please explain how to fix?

[SQL]TEST:%SYS>>select * from SYS.Database
ERROR #5540: SQLCODE: -30 Message:  Table 'SYS.DATABASE' not found

[SQL]TEST:%SYS>>  << entering multiline statement mode, 'GO' to execute >>

Hi,

I'm trying to get a property from a class but I get an error:

SET status=##CLASS(Backup.Task).LastRunStatus
^
<CLASS PROPERTY>
 

Can someone please tell me the correct way to get the property?

The property is dexcribed here:

https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/documatic/%25CSP.Documatic…

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I have Objectscript routine stored in an external Linux file which I've called /my/home/DisplayDB.int

This file does not include any Class definitions and is simply a set a Object script routines. I think this is called INT objectscript

The file looks like this:

set db=##class(Config.Databases).DatabasesByServer("",.dbList)
for i=1:1:$LENGTH(dbList,",") {
  set dbName= $PIECE(dbList,",",i)
  write dbName,!
}

How do I load and compile the Objectscript code?
Do $system.OBJ.Load("/my/home/DisplayDB.int", "ck")
How would I run the code?
do ^DisplayDB
Thanks in advance for any help

Is it possible to get the length of queue for a production using Python code?

I'm using embedded Python at the moment.

I'd like to use the Python external language server later - the Python external server will not start in my environment.

If it is possible to query the production queue length programmically, please advise how?

It would also be nice to show the number of messages processed per second, if IRIS keeps track of this.

The question I have is if I run an External backup this library rotuine is called:
##Class(Backup.General).ExternalFreeze()

Is there a command I can run that shows me the Iris system is frozen due to the call to ##Class(Backup.General).ExternalFreeze()?

If the system is frozen I cannot sign into Iris terminal session.

I backup the IRIS server using Veeam. Veeam calls the "freeze" script, snapshots the server in VMWare, then calls the "thaw" script.
Veeam then backs up the VMWare snapshot.

I have had cases where Iris was frozen and I'm guessing this could be caused by a call to ##Class(Backup.

Hi,

I'm using embedded Python as follows:

AUMHTESTTC01:%SYS>do ##class(%SYS.Python).Shell()
Python 3.6.15 (default, Sep 23 2021, 15:41:43) [GCC] on linux
Type quit() or Ctrl-D to exit this shell.
>>> import iris
>>> mirror=iris.cls('SYS.Mirror')
>>> pri=[]
>>> alt=[]
>>> status=mirror.GetFailoverMemberStatus(pri,alt)
>>> print(status)
1
>>> print(pri)
[]
>>> print(alt)
[]
>>> exit()

However the equivalent ObjectScript works:

%SYS>set sc=##class(SYS.Mirror).GetFailoverMemberStatus(.pri,.alt)
%SYS>zw pri
pri=$lb("SERVERA.FOO.BAR.ORG/STAGE","SERVERA.foo.bar.

Has anyone tried the Ansible module for qlist in the article "Ansible modules and IRIS demo"?

There appears to be a bug in the qlist code as it assumes that the qlist output has an undocumented field.

I do not have the undocumented field in the output.when I run qlist so I keep getting the error "Unexpected IRIS qlist output format".

I assume that in most cases there is no undocumented field in the output.

In this module:
"iris_qlist.py"
in this test:
"if len(items) != len(IRIS_INSTANCE_DETAILS):
    module.

Is anyone using Veeam as their external backup product?

I'm trying to backup a Linux VMs (VMWare; SUSE).

These VMs have a mirrored pair IRIS DB.

I'm using the InterSystems's provides pre-freeze - Backup.General(ExternalFreeze)
I'm using the InterSystems's provides post-thaw  - Backup.General(ExternalThaw)

I've been running the backups with Veeam 'application aware processing' so I can add the pre-freeze and post-thaw scripts.

I'm backing up the PRIMARY node of the mirror pair.

Hi,

I want to list the source if a class in an 'iris session'.

I know I can get a list of all classes in a namespace:

iris session <session> -U "%SYS"

DO $SYSTEM.OBJ.ShowClasses()

===

Is there a similar sinmple command to get the source of a class?

Hi,

I want to refresh the data in the databases from the data that exists in the production system.

The IRIS system in both test and production are in a mirror arrangement

Can the refresh be done by doing a backup on the production system and restore the same backup to test?
Could the refresh be customised so that certain databases can be excluded?

Introduction

This is a quickstart guide to IRIS for Linux systems administrators who need to be able to support the IRIS DB as well as other normal infrastructure tasks.

IRIS is a DB system from Intersystems. An IRIS DB can hold code (in the form of a Class) or data (in the form of Globals). IRIS DB are Linux files called IRIS.DAT.

I want to write a routine [I think this is the correct Intersystems term] call STOPALLPRODUCTIONS.

I want to be able to call the routine:

DO ^STOPALLPRODUCTIONS

Routines are described here:

https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cl…

The code will be something like:

zn "namespace1"

set status=##class(Ens.Director).StopProduction()

set status=##class(Ens.Director).GetProductionStatus()

WRITE "namespace1 production is ",$CASE(status,

              0:"Running",1:"Stopped",2:"Suspended",

              3:"Troubled")

zn "namespace2"

set status=##class(Ens.

Hi,

In Objectscript it apperas these characters have a special meaning:

^var                                                                                          <- Does the ^ mean the variable after it is a Global
set status=##class(%SYS.Journal.System).GetState() <- Does the ## mean anything?
                                                                                                     Does the % mean anything?

Does the $ mean anything?

Hi,

I've just installed WebTerminal to my IRIS system (Linux SUSE).

I go url:

http://trak01:57772/terminal/

But it just times out

My management portal address is:

http://trak01:52773/csp/sys/UtilHome.csp

The port 57772 is not being listened to [ ss -l|grep LISTEN|grep 57772] 

The doco for WebTerminal says to use this port number in "1.1.3 Launching WebTerminal"

How can I fix this?

Is there some process that needs starting?

Is there further configuration eg. apache web server setup?

Thanks.

==========

This install was done from the *.xml (WebTerminal-v4.9.5.

Hi,

I have this IRIS server, NODE1. NODE1 is a Linux server running IRIS.

To connect to IRIS on this server I:

From my PC ssh (via putty) to NODE1

From the putty session, I, "iris session <iris instance>"

I was hoping to use iristerm on my PC:

I put NODE1 into IRIS Server Manager

From my PC, I, "iristerm /server=NODE1"

I get this error message:

"TCP connect() failed"
How to get this to work?

I understand that iristerm tries to connect to the server first using telnet then connects to the IRIS running on ths server. Correct?

Hi,

I'm in visual studio on my PC and I want to delete a server from the "All Servers" pull down menu.

I've tried right click the server - no "delete" option comes up

I've tried selecting the server - there is no "delete" option under the "3 dots" on top right of the Intersystems extension subpanel

Any idea of how to do this?

Hi,

I am after an IRIS instance in the cloud or otherwise which will allow me to learn ObjectScript.

I can find ObjectScript learning tutorial and videos.

If so please advise the sandbox url.

If not please suggest something similar.

Tanks

Hi,

I have refreshed my TEST system database from my DR box.

TEST consists of 2 linux servers TEST_NODE1 & TEST_NODE2 which are mirrored as PRIMARY failover and BACKUP failover

This is what I've done:

1. Remove TEST_NODE2 as Backup member using do ^MIRROR

2. Remove TEST_NODE1 mirror configuration using SMP (System Management Portal) GUI

3. Stop IRIS on TEST_NODE1 & TEST_NODE2

4. Copy files IRIS.DAT  from DR to TEST_NODE1

5. Start IRIS on TEST_NODE1

6. Turn off mirror flags on DB files on TEST_NODE1 using do ^MIRROR ('Remove one or more mirrored databases')

Hi,

I trying to find out the procedure to kill off a currently printing Cache job.

The user wants to cancel the job as they put the wrong start date. The start date was set to be generated from the default date of 1 Jan 1900.

As the start date was such a long time ago, the report generation would take a long time.

I think the printing uses this "production" on the print server:

Report.Print.Service.CachePrintService

  -> Report.Print.Process.Request

  -> Report.Print.Operation.PrintCacheReport

I think the printing part is  "production" "Operations",  Report.Print.Operation.PrintCacheReport.

Is it possible to stop and start a production from the command line?

If so please tell me the command and hopefully a link to the documentation for such a function.

I understand that you can have only one production per namespace; namespace has to be enabled for production.

Thanks

Hi,

In some of the trakCare screens there is term "Production" shown [Interoperability->Production Configuration]
What is a production?

The production I'm looking at, is related to a Gateway.

What is a definition of a Gateway? How is this different to an Interface?

Under Gateway Production, there are "Services", "Processes", "Operations".

How are these defined to be?

I have 3 services, each with a green dot.

I have 3 processes , each with a green dot.

I have 5 operations, 4 of which has a green dot and one red dot.

Hi,

I need to add a large number of users to TrakCare.

Is there a programatically way of adding users to TrakCare using ObjectScript?
If so, can you please send me an example.

Thanks
