Data Collection

This is a step-by-step instruction guide for creating a task to collect data about the InterSystems database and globals therein (as seen in the associated Open Exchange App - find all the associated code there)

UPDATE (Aug 1 2024): Recently I've been asked about the differences between this and the History Monitor functionality. In short, the data collection monitor builds on the history monitor by adding the ability to track growth of individual globals.

Hi, 

I almost managed to connect myself from nodejs to IRIS via intersystems-iris-native, but the connection failed.

Columnar storage is one of the newer offers provided by InterSystems IRIS. Unlike traditional row-based storage, it optimizes query processing by storing data in columns rather than rows, enabling faster access and retrieval of relevant information.

A couple of articles have been written on when it should be used to give a system the biggest boost, how to create tables like that using SQL

CREATETABLEtable (column1 type1, column2 type2, column3 type3) WITH STORAGETYPE = COLUMNAR  -- ex 1CREATETABLEtable (column1 type1, column2 type2, column3 type3 WITH STORAGETYPE = COLUMNAR)  -- ex 2

Translated from the Spanish Community Article Contest.

Following the latest programming contest on OEX I had some surprising observation.
There were almost exclusive applications based on AI in combination with pre-cooked Py modules.
But digging deeper, all examples used the same technical pieces of IRIS.

Seen from point of view of IRIS it was pretty much the same whether searching for text
or searching for images or other pattern.  It ended in almost exchangeable methods.

Hi all! 

How can I get the ODBC drivers for IRIS 2024.1 if I am only using IRIS 2024.1 Community Edition? 
This page gives you the information: "The official location for customers to download the latest released and fully supported InterSystems IRIS driver packages is the WRC download site." My first thought on this is: Why does Intersystems make it so difficult for users to use their database? Why is the ‘official’ driver package hidden behind a login wall? Shouldn't Intersystems be happy if someone wants to work with their database, wants to connect?

Hi there,

I am interested to execute ObjectScript commands from external language.  I saw that IRIS provides the irisnative library for this.

I am using Windows and 8-bit IRIS server (due to compatibility with old software I need to use 8-bit instead of Unicode).

I tried to execute irisnative for Javascript and for python, without success, as I explained in my previous questions.

I would like to ask you whether Intersystems provides an API to execute commands from external scripts (the same as Visual Studio Code does when I execute commands like "Import and Compile", etc.).

Hi Community
In this article, I will introduce my application irisChatGPT which is built on LangChain Framework.
First of all, let us have a brief overview of the framework.

The entire world is talking about ChatGPT and how Large Language Models(LLMs) have become so powerful and has been performing beyond expectations, giving human-like conversations. This is just the beginning of how this can be applied to every enterprise and every domain! 

Beginning with the release of InterSystems IRIS® data platform 2022.3, InterSystems corrected the license enforcement mechanism to include REST and SOAP requests. Due to this change, environments with non-core-based licenses that use REST or SOAP may experience greater license utilization after upgrading. To determine if this advisory applies to your InterSystems license, follow the instructions in the FAQ linked below.

This table summarizes the enforcement:

To disable the timeout, set the query timeout to disabled in the DSN settings:

Windows Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Data Sources (ODBC) > System DSN configuration

If you check Disable query timeout, the timeout will be disabled.

If you want to change it on the application side, you can set it at the ODBC API level.

Set the SQL_ATTR_QUERY_TIMEOUT attribute when calling the ODBC SQLSetStmtAttr function before connecting to the data source.

Hi,

I am using Windows 10 and I cannot find an installation source for the irisnative python library.  I tried to install the wheel file provided by intersystems on github (https://github.com/intersystems/quickstarts-python/).

c:\wc\quickstarts-python\Solutions\nativeAPI_wheel>pip install irisnative-1.0.0-cp34.cp35.cp36.cp37.cp38.cp39-none-win_amd64.whl
ERROR: irisnative-1.0.0-cp34.cp35.cp36.cp37.cp38.cp39-none-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.
 

Is irisnative supported on Windows 10 ?  The purpose is to execute ObjectScript command from external python code.

Kind regards,

It's Friday and a long weekend is upon us, so let's have a round of code golf!

Nowadays, it's rare to find a text message without at least one emoji. 😃😄😎🙂😊😀😁😆😂 But back in the day, people had to be creative to express their emotions in text. They would use emoticons, which are symbols made up of keyboard characters :^)=])B). Our challenge for today is to create a function that receives a string as argument and returns the total number of smiling faces or happy faces. Each smiley face must have one smiling mouth, which should be marked with ), ], }, D or >. A smiley face can have a pair of eyes but it does not have to. Valid characters for eyes are :, ;, 8, B or =. A nose is optional, and can be represented these characters: -, ^, c, o and ~.

Valid smiley face examples:

    :) :D ;-D :~) :‑) :-] =)    
    :] :-> :> 8-) :D 8‑D )
    8) :-} :} :o) :c) :^) =]
    :‑D 8D =D B^D

Input

"count how many smiley faces are here :)"

Hi,

In my Iris Installation I cannot use python. When I try to install external libraries I get no OPENSSL_Applink:

$ pwd
/cygdrive/c/InterSystems/IRIS2/bin
$ ./irispip install --target ../Mgr/python/ pandas
OPENSSL_Uplink(00007FFBEC2F7068,08): no OPENSSL_Applink

I get the same error when I try to install a wheel file:

I am attempting to make a FHIR call against the Epic Repository through Intersystems. I have setup a Service client per Create FHIR REST Client | InterSystems Developer Community | Business

but I have set it up using OAuth and HTTPS.

I have verified that the OAuth works by executing it manually via a Terminal to verify I get a response. Of course, when I do it is writing to the ISCLOG

I am trying to now test making the FHIR call by initiating the test of HS.FHIRServer.Interop.HTTPOperation, however I keep getting mixed results with first a 404 not found error, and now a 401 unauthorized error.

Good morning, 🙂

I would like to ask a question, which has to do with how to manage %GlobalCharacterStream representing JSONS.

Thank you for reading this question, thank you for your help, and thank you for your time and attention.

Specifically, in a certain Process, we were querying 2 Operations, whose response we were converting to a Property called "informesAutorizadosRangoFechas" (reportsAuthorizedInRangeDates) which is %GlobalCharacterStream whose content is a JSON with the same structure.

That is, at a visual level, a concrete example is the following:

Trying to pass pdf to save to custom file  using default Trying to pass pdf to save to custom file  and %f. but oriignal filename didn't send (it does in terminal). What is missing from setting filename from stream? can the file passthrough not out of box use outputfilename or has wrong default one been sent. 

We have a yummy dataset with recipes written by multiple Reddit users, however most of the information is free text as the title or description of a post. Let's find out how we can very easily load the dataset, extract some features and analyze it using features from OpenAI large language model within Embedded Python and the Langchain framework.

Loading the dataset

First things first, we need to load the dataset or can we just connect to it?

The TIMESTAMP type corresponds to the %Library.TimeStamp data type (=%TimeStamp) in InterSystems products, and the format is YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.nnnnnnnnn.

If you want to change the precision after the decimal point, set it using the following method.

1) Set system-wide

Management Portal: [System Administration] > [Configuration] > [SQL and Object Settings] > [General SQL Settings]　
Default time precision for GETDATE(), CURRENT_TIME, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP. You can specify the number of digits in the range 0 to 9.

Hi guys,

I need to check my HTTPS POST REQUEST, in order to do this I try to catch it by using wireshark.

I can't see anything because of the encryption.

I try unsuccefully to use the SSLKEYLOGFILE key (windows 11), but the generated file did not increase when I trigger my code OR postman, it grows only by the action of the web browser.

My question is so simple :

1°) How have a clear view of the HTTPS request from IRIS code in wireshark

2°) Why the keylog file did not increase when trigger the code from IRIS ?

Hello,

I need a way to securely store credentials in IRIS that are used to access third-party APIs. These credentials include different clientId/secret pairs that I don't want to expose. While I know that it's possible to define Production Credentials in Ens.Config.Credentials, I understand that they are stored in plain text.

 
Have written several worthless Conky's in my day, and this one is no exception, but it was fun.

I created a Dotnet api to connect with IRIS database to do some task.
"InterSystems.Data.IRISClient.dll" (NativeAPI) is used in dotnet api to connect IRIS.
I used following code in dotnet to open and close the IRIS connection.

Open Connection
---------------------------
IRISConnection iRISConnect = new IRISConnection();
IRISCommand command = new IRISCommand();
iRISConnect.ConnectionString = "Server=xxxx.com; Port=1972; Namespace=aaa; Password=yyyy; User ID=xxxxxx;";
IRIS NativeAPI = IRIS.CreateIRIS(iRISConnect);
iRISConnect.Open();

Continuing with the series of articles on voice file management, we are going to see how we can convert text into audio and receive the file with the chosen voice.
We will also explore how a service from OpenAI can help us analyze a text and determine the mood expressed in it.
Let's analyze how you can create your own voice file and how it can “read” your feelings.

Current triage systems often rely on the experience of admitting physicians. This can lead to delays in care for some patients, especially when faced with inexperienced residents or non-critical symptoms. Additionally, it can result in unnecessary hospital admissions, straining resources and increasing healthcare costs.

We focused our project on pregnant women and conducted a survey with friends of ours who work at a large hospital in São Paulo, Brazil, specifically in the area of monitoring and caring for pregnant women.
