#InterSystems IRIS

Does InterSystems IRIS has a MEDIAN (or percentile) calculation in SQL?

User-defined aggregate functions have been supported in IRIS since 2021.1.0. I'd wished upon a star for these years ago before finding a secret hacky way to override MAX and MIN in a custom datatype, but didn't get a chance to actually try one out until today. I thought it was an interesting experience/example - the question of how to get a Median in IRIS SQL came up once before - so I'm sharing it here without too much further comment.

The IRIS Management Portal is localized (translated) for some (many?) languages and the language used by the Management Portal interface is determined by the browser settings, often derived from the OS settings (can be changed).

This means that if a user, like me, want to use ONLY the English version of the Management Portal, each and every time you login you need to change the language. VERY annoying.

I know I can change the language configured in Browser, BUT, I want to use English for the IRIS management portal non for all my internet activity!

A recent question from @Vivian Lee reminded me of a rather ancient example.
It was the time when DeepSee's first version was released.
We got Bitmap Index.
And we got BitSlice Index: mapping a numeric value by its binary parts.
So my idea: Why not indexing strings by their characters?
The result of this idea was presented first in June 2008. 
IKnow wasn't publicly available at that time.

Hello Experts ,

Could you help to search message details based on MRN in intersytems iris. 

We have created 100+ interfaces and currenly in live (interystems cloud) . Now I try to search message details based on MRN using below query. it is working fine in DEV. but in prod it is taking ages.

SELECT Header.SessionId, Header.SourceConfigName ,Body.RawContent
FROM Ens.MessageHeader AS Header 
JOIN EnsLib_HL7.Message AS Body ON Header.MessageBodyId = Body.ID     
 where  Body.TimeCreated BETWEEN '2023-03-15 13:10:22.993' AND '2023-03-15 13:10:25.993'
 AND Body.RawContent LIKE '%40103262%'

The maximum number of namespaces that can be created in one instance is 2047. However, to use a large number of namespaces, you will need to configure memory accordingly.

The maximum number of databases (including remote databases) that can be created in one instance is 15998. Depending on the type of license, there may be restrictions on the number that can be created. For details, please refer to the following document.

Are there any objectscript functions (not wizards) to export and then import table data (including RowID)?

It doesn't matter what format the exported file is.

The import and export process should preserve all relationships, foreign keys, etc. I need to be able to export and import multiple tables at the same time.

I need this to implement the ability to export multiple tables from one instance and load them into another.

Hello everybody,

I’m trying to install WebTerminal but I’m not able to have it working. I’ve looked all around the in github and the community but no-one seems to have the same problem. So I hope sharing this someone can give me a hint
So, I’m installing it on IRIS HEALTH:

IRIS for UNIX (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 for x86-64) 2023.1.3 (Build 517U) Wed Jan 10 2024 13:30:33 EST [Health:5.1.0-2.m3] 

I install the packageWebTerminal-v4.9.5.xml via Portal Manager and all goes fine:

We have a requirement to use ALB/Reverse proxy like traefik. Is there any similar solution produce by webgateway or webgateway-ingenix container image?

Reference:
webgateway-nginx:2024.1

Welcome to the third and final publication of our articles dedicated to the development of RAG applications based on LLM models. In this final article, we will see, based on our small example project, how we can find the most appropriate context for the question we want to send to our LLM model and for this we will make use of the vector search functionality included in IRIS.

Hi

I'm trying to use JWT authentication on a REST application in IRIS. The login API are correctly "injected" into the application. Login works fine with Postman and other REST clients, and subsequent calls to my REST API using the bearer token work fine (correctly authenticated). So far, so good.

In the past, I've created custom SQL operations, but now I had something trivial to do, so I decided to take EnsLib.SQL.Operation.GenericOperation out for a spin. There's no example in the docs, so it was a little tricky. Here's what I ended up doing:

In my external database, I have 'mytable' with two fields 'id1' and 'id2'. Here are the pertinent Business Operation settings:

SQL: select id2 from mytable where id1 = ?
Input Parameters: [1] *id1
RequestClass: Ens.StringRequest
ResponseClass: MyResponseClass

Some of our applications provide SOAP services that use “DSTIME”-based SQL queries that return records that have recently been added or changed. Since the records don’t change often, these queries usually return a small number of records and therefore take little time.

However, we sometimes make a table change that affects all records in that table. When that happens, on the next SOAP request from a SOAP client the service will run its query which will take an extra-long time because all records are included (for our apps, the queries return hundreds of thousands of records in this case).

Hi all,

We have an restriction in a SQL database with a unique index.

We want to catch that exception when it tries to insert or update a value that violates the unique index condition.

// run the querySet tSC = ..Adapter.ExecuteUpdateParmArray(.nrows,SQL,.param)

// Check if there is any errorIf$$$ISERR(tSC)
{
	Set msgError = $System.Status.GetErrorText(tSC) 
	// Check here if the native error code is 2601 (Cannot insert duplicate key row into object 'MYPATIENTS' with unique index 'UQ_UNIQUE_INDEX')
	??????
}

I've tried to get the ..Adapter.%SQLCODE, but it is empty

Hi All,

I'm trying to connect to an IRIS instance using VSCode, the problem is, there are 2 IRIS instances installed on this server, published by the same hostname using https (port 443) under 2 different subfolders (e.g., iris.demo.com/base & iris.demo.com/test).

When connecting via studio, I was able to connect by using the hostname (e.g., iris.demo.com) and specifying the super server port, while when connecting through VSCode, when specifying the web server port 443, the connection is always defaulted to one of the instance.

Is there any way we can specify the instance in VSCode?

Many thanks!

How can I display the patch version?

The command Write $system.Version.GetPatchId()
doesn't show anything.
What other options are there?
Thanks.

SOURCFILE="/home/user1/file1.dat"

DESTFILE="/opt/users/file1.dat"

##class(%File).Rename(SOURCFILE,DESTFILE,.STATUS) when this is executed in IRIS,  SOURCEFILE is getting moved to the folder in DESTFILE but it is not getting deleted from SOURCEFILE folders. Same call is working as expected in cache. Has anyone experienced this issue? We are trying convert to IRIS from cache.

I have a BPL iterating over Dynamic arrays. Can I add Dynamic Array (%Dynamic Abstract Object) and also %Iterator.Array to BPL context? I tried and I see Error: %AddToSaveSet method does not exist for %Iterator.Array

Is it possible to install IRIS Studio as an evaluation, so I can use the built-in IDE? 

I have installed IRIS Community edition that does not come with a built-id IDE.

I have an IRIS installation that is using 8-bit charset encoding (set to deu8 / Latin 1). I would like to convert everything (database and system)  to Unicode

Charset encoding is something asked during installation, is it possible to change this on the fly ? The installer clearly say that Unicode systems cannot be converted. What about 8 bit ? 

Same for database : is there possible conversion ?

My current plan is the following :

- export all globals from 8-bit instance
- install a new Unicode instance
- import all globals into Unicode instance

Is there a simpler approach ?

We've just made a change to Server Manager with the aim of it coping better when a stored password is no longer valid, for example because it has been changed.

We plan to include this in the next published version (no release date yet set), but if you'd like early access please download the v3.6.3-beta.3 VSIX and install it, for example by dragging it from your file explorer onto the Extensions view in VS Code.

Many programming languages use the try-and-catch construct to handle runtime errors gracefully. If the code within the try block encounters an error, it will throw an exception to the catch block, where the error handling occurs. Today we will dive into the ObjectScript implementation of this construct and discuss some ways to clean things up.

ObjectScript Implementation Basics

To get started, we will first look at the basic structure of the try/catch block:

try{
    //some code here
}
catch ex{
    //some error handling here
}
