#Web Gateway

Can InterSystems IRIS Data Platform 2019  be Integrated with Snowflake?

From InterSystems Do we have any predefined packages or Adapters available to Connect with Snowflake?

Can InterSystems  be Connected with Snowflake through Web Gateway Management?

If you plan on using the nginx server to front end you IRIS instance (as opposed to the standard apache web gateway install) you will need to add a few configuration options into the CSP.conf file in order for all urls to work. It took me a little bit to figure this out but this seems to be the configuration that works.

We recently moved from using the Private Web Server, to using an Apache/Web Gateway setup and moved towards using the built in LDAP functionality within IRIS. Since then, we have 1 user that uses VSCode (/api/atelier) heavily that continues to have issues signing into IRIS through VS Code and the /api/atelier extension.

I am trying to troubleshoot two issues..

• User having login failures with correct password. 

HI,

I'm migration an existing integration to InterSystems.  The upstream (external) system calls a JSON web service hosted in the interface engine, which converts the JSON data received to a HL-7 messages to send to the downstream system. I'm looking for direction and example of how to do the equivalent in InterSystems, so the the upstream system only has to modify the URL of the web service they call.

I suppose in IS we'll need to create a business service that is a RESTful JSON web service? How to access the JSON data (parameters in the web service call) in the Transformation?

Thank you!

After upgrading we had 2 major problems with the new version:

- Resending messages adds blank lines.
Because we have many HL7 processes, we regulary have to resend messages if there is an outage of a server we connect with.

We are experimenting with IIS, as the PWS will be gone in newer versions.

The code which is executed, takes 15ms to run. If we execute it through PWS (REST), there is some overhead and the total execution time is 40ms, which is acceptable. However, if we go through IIS, it takes 150ms or sometimes even more.

Both PWS and IIS are running on the same server as IRIS in this case. No optimisations have been done on IIS.

Any suggestions on where to look/what to optimize on IIS?

I am attempting to configure an inbound service that utilizes the EnsLib.SOAP.GenericService class. This service receives HL7-v3 content wrapped in SOAP requests. Despite reading the documentation on configuring SOAP services, I am still confused.

In my current configuration item "Fr_Centrak_RTLS", I have ‘Enable Standard Requests’ checked, ‘Pool Size’ set to 0, and the port is unspecified.

I have also configured a web application with the following details:

A few weeks ago I posted an announcement about a JavaScript-based interface for our mg_web WebServer interfacing addon module.  mg_web isn't just restricted to use by JavaScript developers though.  Many readers will be ObjectScript developers who are more used to using CSP as their web gateway.  Some may even have much older legacy WebLink-based applications (and be wondering how to support them given that IRIS does not support WebLink).

This article aims to provide some more information on mg_web and to explain why it's worth a look for ObjectScript developers.

Hi

I've installed Ensemble 2018 then enabled IIS from Win features, then realized that CSPGateway doesn't exit so I downloaded and installed CSPGateway-2018 from WRC.

so now I'm trying to set up a Website application and facing some issues, and I think IIS and CSPGateway in inetpub are not connecting or synchronising properly but mostly is accessing Web gateway via IIS my understanding is that I can access using the following url http://machinename/csp/bin/Systems/Module.cxw  using my machinename or IP but it's not happening.

Hot on the heels of our announcement last week about our ultra-high-performance mg-dbx-napi JavaScript interface for IRIS, we are now pleased to announce a significant new technology - mg_web - which not only represents a new paradigm for JavaScript Web Frameworks, but also delivers significantly higher performance than even the fastest of the established Node.js Web Frameworks, whilst leveraging all the benefits of the big-three industry-standard Web Servers.

You may have heard about our mg-dbx-napi interface for IRIS which provides insanely fast access from Node.js.  If you've been following recent developments in the server-side JavaScript world, you'll be excited to know that mg-dbx-napi also works with Bun.js, the latter proving to be significantly faster than Node.js for many/most purposes.

Of course, if you're a Node.js user, you'll probably wonder how mg-dbx-napi compares with the Native API for Node.js that is included with IRIS.

With all that in mind, we've created a Github repository: mg-showcase

I am fairly new to using Docker, and instead of trying to get IIS, a Web Gateway, and Docker desktop working within my Windows environment, I thought I would try running it in a WSL2 Ubuntu environment since this is similar to how use it on my server. I have installed Apache and the Web Gateway on my WSL2 Ubuntu.

Intro

Most server-client communication on the web is based on a request and response structure. The client sends a request to the server and the server responds to this request. The WebSocket protocol provides a two-way channel of communication between a server and client, allowing servers to send messages to clients without first receiving a request. For more information on the WebSocket protocol and its implementation in InterSystems IRIS, see the links below.

• WebSocket protocol

• WebSockets in InterSystems IRIS documentation

Hello,

I have a problem with a FHIR Interop scenario that the HTTP Header Value content-type between IRIS and client changes in case of an error (HTTP 422). If I set the status in the response to 200 OK as the last step in the service class, the return transmission works.

Within my operation class, the error code is taken from the source system and entered in the HS.FHIRServer.Interop.Response message. 

Within the CSP gateway I am also shown that the content type is 422 application/fhir+xml and is returned.

Hello Guys,

Our cache application uses REST web services and handles single API request perfectly with response (response status and related data). But sometimes user sends multiple requests to the same API simultaneously ( ie, without waiting for the first to respond ), where one request will succeed (not necessarily the first) and the others will fail. 
So, I need to handle the requests one by one after completing and sending the response for first request in the queue then process the next request and so on.

Is there any appropriate way of handling this problem? 

I am using the event logger from CSP gateway with level "v9r" enabled, in order to dump the raw content of some HTTP requests.

I would like to decode the body response data, when it's in binary form. AFAIK the event logger will convert characters outside the 32-127 range (EBCDIC) to the "\xff" notation (where ff is a hexadecimal value). Here is an example :

This is probably not the right place, but I don't know who I can reach out to... I am trying to configure an Apache/Web Gateway to our instance of IRIS so we are no longer using the built-in PWS. Can anyone point me in the right direction to configure Apache/Web Gateway to repoint

http://<server name>:52773/... to the https://<server name>/...

gateway so our users will not notice? How do I do this in Apache, do I need to modify httpd.conf or the ssl.conf file? What is the correct syntax...

This is what I tried to do in the httpd.conf file

Hi Community,

We have web gateway installed  as a standalone on the web server and when I access it through the direct link https://mydomain.com/csp/bin/Systems/Module.cxw, it doesn't require authentication it just opens as per screenshot below.

There is a requirement to add authenticate using username and password as with the webgateway installed with iris, I want to get to the below screen before gaining access to web gateway.

Thanks in advance.

Does the Version of the Web Gateway have to match the version of IRIS that is currently running? Or are they independent of each other since they are different components? I am looking to install the Web Gateway (non-PWS) as we move forward with securing our Management Portal and VS Code connections using TLS.

Thanks

Scott

I am trying to move us to Securing the Management Portal using Apache and the Web Gateway.

Our Development environment/namespace only has 1 server, but both Test and Production have failover/DR mirroring containing 3 servers for Test, and 3 additional servers for Production. 

• Development - 1 server
• Test -2 server's setup for Failover, and 1 Async DR Mirror
• Production - 2 servers' setup for Failover, and 1 Async DR Mirror

In Test and Production, the mirroring is setup using an Arbiter and the VIP address is controlled at the Hardware level.

I recently started work on trying to Tighten Security in our Development Instance of IRIS that is running based on recommendations from our Audit as you might of seen from my other posts. I am currently trying to get into the Private Web Gateway Manager within IRIS as CSPSystem, but when I attempt to sign in nothing happens. 

I went through and reset the password in the CSP.ini and within IRIS for CSPSystem. I made sure it had the new GatewayRole per suggested

I am trying to do a rewrite using the webgateway-nginx docker container but getting an "unknown directive sub_filter' message. How can I add additional nginx modules into a webgateway nginx container?

Hi all! I just wanted to share a new video – the first in a series of three – addressing the migration from the InterSystems Private Web Server to an external web server. This video covers the process of installing a web server and upgrading your IRIS instance in a Linux/Unix environment. Two more videos on the way will show the process for a mirrored setup in Linux/Unix, and for a single instance in Windows. 

Hi All,

Been trying to setup a iris 4 health community version along with a webgateway bothing utilizing docker. The documentation seems a little sparse when it comes to configuring each of these to work together, especially when it comes to utilizing the Webgateway to front end the MGMT pages for Irirs 4 Health.

I know there is a github repo that has a docker compose file, but that doesn't see to provide a light on what needs to be configured in order for it to work.

I have notified the following :

We're trying to get a little more discipline around Web Gateway change control, and deploy changes to our CSP.ini from source control.  I was wondering if anyone cared to share their best practices in this area?  There is a "RELOAD" parameter (https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cl…) which says you can put RELOAD=1 in your CSP.ini file in order to force it to automatically activate when noticed by the daemon.  

Hi Guys,

For Login in CSP application, I am displaying custom Login page which is rendered from subclass CSS.CSP.Login that extends %CSP.Login, and also got IBA.CSP.Page that extends %CSP.Page with overridden method OnPreHTTP(). This setup is working perfectly for normal login.  

When I define Invalid login limit and enable Disable account if login limit reached in System > Security Management > System-wide Security Parameters, the users get disabled after certain invalid login attempts.

Hi guys,

In Cache CSP application, I have enabled Password expiration days to certain days in System > Security Management > System-wide Security Parameters. When password expires for the users and they try to login the login page takes to standard cache password change page. 

Is there anyway I can display my overridden page instead of standard cache password change page? 

Reason to display my own page:  I needed to break down the UserName, for eg: UserName into CompanyID - IBA and User ID - san.

Web Server Type: Microsoft Web Server: Microsoft-IIS/10.0 .

What could be the Root Cause and Resolutions ??

InterSystems FAQ rubric

You can set individual error pages for the following Web Gateway error messages/system responses:

• server error
• server busy
• server unavailable
• server timeout
• connection closed

Settings are made on the Web Gateway Management screen ([Management Portal] > [System Administration] > [Configuration] > [Web Gateway Management] > [Configuration] > [Default Parameters]).

In the Error Page section of the Default Parameters menu, set the filename of the html page to display or the URL to redirect to when an error occurs.
