#InterSystems IRIS

Hi Community,
In this article, I will introduce my application iris-DataViz
iris-DataViz is an Exploratory Data Analysis and Visualization Streamlit Application that leverages the functionality of IRIS embedded python and SQLAlchemy to interact with IRIS, as well as the PyGWalker python library for data analysis and data Visualization. PyGWalker (Python Graphic Walker) is an interactive data visualization library built for Python, aiming to bring the ease and functionality of Tableau-style drag-and-drop visualization into Python environments.

Application Features 

Hi everyone,

In this article, I’m excited to introduce CodeInspector, a tool designed to simplify code validation by applying custom rules tailored to your development requirements. Whether you're managing a large codebase or working in an agile environment, CodeInspector helps ensure code quality by offering flexibility and adaptability to specific project needs.

Motivation

If you are using the client-side development paradigm (i.e. editing code in local files that get imported and compiled onto the IRIS server your `objectscript.conn` settings point to) you can now use IPM in VS Code to manage the packages in your IRIS target by launching it from the Explorer view. Just make sure the extension you are using is at least version 1.0.4, then use this button:

Thanks to @Evgeny.Shvarovfor suggesting this enhancement, which is particularly useful when using Docker.

Introduction

Managing databases and performing CRUD operations are fundamental tasks for developers building data-driven applications. While many database management systems (DBMS) exist, they can be complex and cumbersome to interact with, especially when it comes to creating databases and tables, handling constraints, and performing real-time data operations through an API.

This story has followed me for more than 20 years.

In the early days of ObjectScript, the volume of $Functions was limited.
You had to write it as part of your program.
But the functionality was often implemented. It just had no name.
To use it, you had "system" calls using $ZU() functions. See Reference

The test data generator is mainly used to generate test data, which can be used to generate test data for tables and fields to meet the needs of different fields according to different types, currently supports Text, Number, Enum, UUID, regular expression, Multiple date and time formats, and Time Seven different types
 

How to use:

1. Select a namespace, you can see all the tables under the namespace,

2. Select the table we want to generate test data from, click on the field, and select the type on the right

I created and then compiled a routine using the %Routine library 

s routine = ##class(%Routine).%New(fileName_"."_extension)
d routine.Write(parsedRule)
//s status = routine.Save()
s status = routine.SaveStream(,.refresh)
if ($$$ISERR(status)) throw status

Now the routine compiles successfully and as a result it is saved on the database.
I can now use from anywhere:

set r = ##class(%Routine).%New("myGeneratedCode.mac")

w r.SizeGet()

I want to try out iris-DataViz app to visualize my own data. I cloned the repo and docker-compose up -d in AWS. IRIS portal works, but on port 8051 I get nothing. I checked my AWS security groups. I reversed IRIS webserver port and 8051 and I can connect to Management portal using port 8051. I don't understand what is refusing connection on port 8051 running in iris-DataViz container.

I am trying to insert a single row into an external MS SQL Server table. I have set up the SQL Gateway. The insert query runs, but it is inserting an extra row each time. 

What am I missing:

#include %occInclude
set gc = ##class(%SQLGatewayConnection).%New()
if gc = $$$NULLOREF quit $$$ERROR($$$GeneralError, "Can not create sql gateway connection.")

set pDSN = "xxxx"
set usr = "xxx"
set pwd = "xxxx"
set sc = gc.Connect(pDSN,usr,pwd,0)
if $$$ISERR(sc) quit sc
if gc.ConnectionHandle = "" quit $$$ERROR($$$GeneralError,"connection failed")set sc=gc.AllocateStatement(.hstmt)
if $$$ISERR(sc) quit sc

In this article, we’ll dive into the inner workings of the database management tool, exploring the architecture and technologies that power it. Understanding how the application functions behind the scenes will give you insight into its design, how it manages databases, tables, and how the API interacts with data.

We will discuss the core technologies used, including InterSystems IRIS as the primary database and Redis for caching. Additionally, we’ll break down the structure of the tables used and explain how the system handles data creation, retrieval, and manipulation through the REST API.

Hi,

I tried to create what is know as a "class variable".  As far as I understand the only analogy to class variables would be the "class parameters".

I tried to use a class parameter but I cannot change its value at runtime.

Parameter STATUSES = {{}};

Property repr As %String;

Method %OnNew(repr) As %Status
{
    w ##class(Test...).#STATUSES
    w ..#STATUSES

    ...

}

When I get ..#STATUSES, it is a string like "5@%Library.DynamicObject". This is a string, not a pointer to an object.

I tried to define STATUSES as Parameter STATUSES  As CONFIGVALUE = {{}};  and change the value with

Hi, Support Team

I´m working with Cache for many years, currently i have running version cache-2018.1.7.721.0-win_x64.exe

However we are facing some compatibility/requirements challenges, in that way i´m hereby request your support to provide next version/build of Cache 2018.1 (e.g cache-2018.1.9.xxx.x-win_x64.exe )

Nevertheless , I already downloaded IRIS for testing purpose if can also provide trial/limited licence for detail testing will be apreciated.

Thanks in advance for your attention.

Regards

Rajendra

On Windows, this cannot be changed, but on Unix-like platforms, it can be changed using the iris rename command.

iris rename instname(<current instance name>) newname(<new instane name>)

I am trying to track down a problem we saw this morning with our TEST environment. We had a momentary issue where InterSystems HealthShare Health Connect could not connect correctly to LDAP. When we tried to login and could not connect to LDAP, the system would Delete our users.

the Test LDAP function would return a "Can't contact LDAP server". I went through the Certificates, made sure they had the correct permissions and were not expired.

Hi,
Do you know the best way to convert a %Library.ListOfDataTypes instance to a $LIST format string?

Thanks,

Problems with Strings

I am accessing IRIS databases with JDBC (or ODBC) using Python. I want to fetch the data into a pandas dataframe to manipulate the data and create charts from it. I ran into a problem with string handling while using JDBC. This post is to help if anyone else has the same issues. Or, if there is an easier way to solve this, let me know in the comments!

I am using OSX, so I am unsure how unique my problem is. I am using Jupyter Notebooks, although the code would generally be the same if you used any other Python program or framework.

The JDBC problem

Hello, I need to use IRIS to connect to an MSSQL base.
It has to be done via ODBC, I can't use JDBC at this time by client option.

I am trying to use Microsoft Driver
libmsodbcsql-13.1.so.9.2

But I can't, my attempts result in:
Connection failed.
SQLState: () NativeError: [11001] Message:

I have done all DSN configuration, and my configuration is listed in SQL Gateway Connections. I know it's working, because when I run a test with isql I have the information that connects to the bank.

This is my IRIS and Server configuration:
IRIS for UNIX (Ubuntu Server LTS for x86-64) 2018.1.1 (Build 643U)

In this post, we'll discuss our project that leverages Pulumi and Docker Compose to automate the deployment of InterSystems WSGI applications on AWS. The focus is on simplicity and efficiency, using pre-built infrastructure templates for provisioning and scaling AWS resources.

Overview

There's an easy new way to add certificate authority (CA) certificates to your SSL/TLS configurations on InterSystems IRIS 2019.1 (and 2018.1.2) on Windows and Mac.  You can ask IRIS to use the operating system's certificate store by entering:

%OSCertificateStore

in the field for "File containing Trusted Certificate Authority X.509 certificate(s)".   Here's an image of how to do this in the portal:

And here's a link to the documentation which describes this.  It's in the list of options under "File containing trusted Certificate Authority certificate(s)".

⏯ Deployment Considerations for Your AI Solution @ Global Summit 2024

A customer recently asked if IRIS supported OpenTelemetry as they where seeking to measure the time that IRIS implemented SOAP Services take to complete. The customer already has several other technologies that support OpenTelemetry for process tracing.  At this time, InterSystems IRIS (IRIS) do not natively support OpenTelemetry.  

We have an ObjectScript application that runs in Cache' and IRIS. Our typical installation involves a .zip file containing several files necessary for the installation and operation of the application. Steps are: expand the .zip file to a folder that will not be used by the application. Do ^%RI for the installation routines in the production namespace. Do the Installation routine. We have a customer that is trying to do a silent installation. He does not want to have to respond to any prompts on the installation. We do have a silent option for the Installation routine and that is working well.

The location of the currently executing code can be obtained using the $STACK function: $STACK($STACK,"PLACE").

Please refer to the following document for sample code.

When developing productions there are many places that we input endpoint information (IP/port) especially when there are dozens of operations going to the same environment. What later happens is that the IP changes and we have to then go into each operation and update the IP.

Hello.

I have a business process with an "ASTM" class : 

Inside this process i have a business rule. Inside this rule i want to get a specific field inside the message :

So i will use the same logic for HL7 messages. Here is the "path" to the segment and the field : 

So i will use this inside the routing rule like i did for HL7 messages. 

i have tried MUCH prefix like "ASTM" "X12" "ESI.X12" ..... I only got errors like << PROPERTY DOES NOT EXIST >> 

Can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong ?

Thanks.
