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?

I'm trying to keep all writes in local memory.

If you have    S %A="""HI THERE"",!,#,33.33,"" "",$ZTIMESTAMP"

and you         O 2 U 2 W @%A C 2 ZW ^SPOOL                    
^SPOOL(1,1)="HI THERE"_$c(13,10)
^SPOOL(1,2)=$c(13,12)
^SPOOL(1,3)="33.33 67016,59246.6188873"

It works just fine and the output is in the ^SPOOL global. 

However, I'm trying to avoid writing to disk.

I can't find anything besides using the SPOOL device that will allow the use of the "@" indirection.

I tried using streams but it will not allow @indirection.  Neither will set, or execute, or anything.

Integrating frontend React applications with backend services like IRIS database via REST APIs can be a powerful way to build robust web applications. However, one common hurdle developers often encounter is the Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) issue, which can prevent the frontend from accessing resources on the backend due to security restrictions enforced by web browsers. In this article, we'll explore how to tackle CORS issues when integrating React web apps with IRIS backend services.

Creating the Schema

We start by defining a simple schema named Patients:

I am updating a large JSON Dynamic Object. Inserting three streams using Do obj.%Set("data",pStream,"stream>base64").

Maybe I am calling Iterate() too often?

I am working on JSON and want to be prepared to handle large Objects. I try this code:

ClassMethod MaxLen() As %Status

{

    set longStr=""

    for i=1:1:$SYSTEM.SYS.MaxLocalLength() { set longStr = longStr_"x" }

    write "Maximum string length = "_$LENGTH(longStr)

    ;

    set longObject = {"a":(longStr),"b":(longStr)}

    set file=##class(%File).%New("/tmp/longObjectFile.txt")

    do file.Open("WSN")

    do longObject.%ToJSON(file)

    do file.Close()

    ;

    do file.Open("RS")

    set newObject = {}.%FromJSONFile(file)

    write !,"Property newObject.a is "_$LENGTH(newObject.a)_" characters long."

I have JSON object which contains file references. I need to replace the file reference with base64 encoded file which is up to 10MB.

I tried the following but it did not work as expected:

do dynObj.%Set("data",pStream.ReadLineIntoStream(.tSC))

Hi,

I would like to ask whether there is some option to stop auto-formatting when I compile.  The code is sometimes well formatted but the auto-formatter does not work correctly in some situations. I am talking about the compilation in the Studio editor in this image, not about Visual Studio Code.

Thank you in advance,

Alin C Soare.

I try to get a vector from calling GetEmbedding, but i failed to convert it into a vector 

Here is a simplyfied sample class: 

Class User.myclass Extends %Persistent
{Property myVECTOR As %Vector(CAPTION = "Vector");

Property myProperty As %String(MAXLEN = 40) [ Required ];

}

here the GetEmbedding part from User.mymethods:

Hello. I was asked to base64-encode files such as Word documents (which contain images) and then post them to a Jira server. I found code to base64 encode a file here:

https://community.intersystems.com/post/encoding-base64-stream-chunk-si…

It seemed to work, but when someone tried to open the Word document, the images inside could not be displayed.

Red Hat Insights alerts now available for InterSystems IRIS

InterSystems and Red Hat are working together to add IRIS-specific alerts to Red Hat Insights. 

Red Hat Insights is a service to predict and recommend remediations for system risks in Red Hat Enterprise Linux environments.  Insights is free with nearly every RHEL, OpenShift, or Ansible subscription.  You can learn more about Insights at Red Hat’s site.

Swappiness Recommendation

The first recommendation “Apply swappiness recommendation for better performance of InterSystems IRIS” has been activated. 

In this article we are going to see how we can use the WhatsApp instant messaging service from InterSystems IRIS to send messages to different recipients. To do this we must create and configure an account in Meta and configure a Business Operation to send the messages we want.

Let's look at each of these steps in more detail.

Setting up an account on Meta

This is possibly the most complicated point of the entire configuration, since we will have to configure a series of accounts until we can have the messaging functionality.

Here you can read the official Meta documentation.

InterSystems FAQ rubric

Data for InterSystems products (table row data, object instance data) is stored in global variables.
The data size of each global can be obtained by clicking the properties of the global you want to view from the Management Portal > System > Configuration > Local Database > Globals page, and then clicking the Calculate Size button on the Global Attributes page that appears.
To display the data sizes of globals in a namespace, you can call ^%GSIZE utility on the terminal.
The method of execution is as follows.

I am actually new to IRIS, and we are DevOps/PowerShell/Ansible team. We want to achieve certain administration tasks like updating Memory, Heap size, Lock size etc., in Management Portal through PowerShell. Is there any way i can achieve this without out logging in into Management portal. Off course, we have namespace, user id and password details. We have installed ODBC drive and able to update tables in the IRIS database. I have seen updating information in management portal getting updated in cpf file but vice versa i am not aware. i did not try though.

Hi,

Hi have problems to import globals, this is a testing only.

From Caché (v.2012, very older, 8 bits character, Latin1 encode) I created a file exporting globals, file *.gof with de web system utilities,.

When  I import these globals to Iris (v2024.1  16 bits character), the restore utility show this error:

In Index types, I can see "Extent Index", Please tell me in detail about it

InterSystems FAQ rubric

If you want to run an OS executable file, command, or a program created within an InterSystems product when the InterSystems product starts, write the processing in the SYSTEM^%ZSTART routine. (The %ZSTART routine is created in the %SYS namespace).

Before you write any code in SYSTEM^%ZSTART, make sure that it works properly under all conditions.

If the ^%ZSTART routine is written incorrectly, or if it is written correctly but the command does not return a response or an error occurs during processing, InterSystems products may not be able to start.

Hello,

With my team, we're evaluating the different streams existing in order to find good pratices for our project using InterSystems IRIS. In doing so, we found that there exists different forms of the same stream with the %Stream.FileBinary and %Stream.FileBinaryGzip classes. We think that the %Stream.FileBinaryGzip takes less space to be stored, but is there other diferences between these two classes and what would you recomend to use ? Is it the same thing for %Stream.FileCharacter and %Stream.FileCharacterGzip ?

Thanks for your help,

I'm scraping my way through some code that's been around for a while, and came across the use of $ZTRAP and (dear GOD) GOTO for trapping and handling errors.

In an effort to "modernize" it and make it, I don't know, less M-ish (sorry old-timers!), I'm replacing it with Try/Catch blocks.

Some questions:

1. Is this a dumb idea?
2. Anything I should look out for?
3. Did I hurt anyone's feelings?

And if the answer to number 3 is Yes, my deepest apologies ... I love you guys! 🤩

Hi Developers!

This is the second post on the resources for Developers. This part is about Open Exchange

Using Open Exchange to Learn InterSystems

InterSystems Open Exchange is a applications gallery of tools, connectors, and libraries which InterSystems Developers submit to share the experience, approaches and do business. All the applications are either built with InterSystems data platforms or are intended to use for development with InterSystems data platforms.

I would dearly love to avoid manually creating a SEF or XSD file to get the X12 832 (4010) schema into IRIS, but I have been hard pressed to find either downloadable resources or commercial options. The typical recommendation, edi-dev, seems to just do tooling that will help create SEF files, but no longer sells actual SEF files.

Anybody got any good resources that might have these schema files?

Thanks for any help!

Cordially,

Jonathan

Hi Community ,

I have a csv file to read and validate the data in the file 

How can i ready only 1st line from the file using Readline()

Thanks,

smythee

Let's say I have an InterSystems IRIS instance with 6 Namespaces:

• Foo1
• Foo2
• Foo3
• Foo4
• Foo5
• Bar

And the number of Foo# namespaces can increase at any time for a number of reasons.  I need to ensure that they all have identical configuration globals stored in a DB called CONFIG, so I do the following in my configuration file:

[Map.%ALL] 
Global_SYS=%DEFAULTDB 
Global_SYS("CommonConfig")=CONFIG 
Global_SYS("CommonOtherSettings")=CONFIG 
Global_SourceControl=CONFIG 

This will ensure that all Namespace see the exact same settings when they reference ^SYS("CommonConfig") or ^SourceControl, etc.

Now...
