I'm not sure about the meaning of the Distributed column, but this does indeed look suspicious. If you have that option, I'd stop and start IRIS (which should clear existing licenses), and try the web terminal again. If it now works, you have at least found the cause.

As to a more permanent solution, I don't know. I don't use web terminal all that often, but I would hope that, when you log in, it adds a connection to a license that login may already have. Perhaps the web socket connection plays a part in this. Like I said, I haven't really investigated this; I just mentioned it so you'd have something to check.

Wow, thanks very much. I did try, and it seems to work flawlessly. It makes editing the markdown already more pleasant, even without the preview being colored. Thanks again!

Just to be clear: in future IRIS installations, the System Management Portal will be unavailable, unless you have a web server installed and configured?

Separate question: the EAP program page mentioned above requires a login, and then offers to download an evaluation version of IRIS. I just want to look at that FAQ, which I couldn't find. Could that be made available more easily?

I like to second Dmitry's concerns. I can somewhat see the reasoning behind removing as much as possible from the docker images. Especially if convenient docker or docker-compose recipes are made available, this could perhaps be of limited inconvenience. But for the Windows installers, I really don't see the point. Especially on a developer system, if/when the internal server is not accessible from the outside world, security is not an issue at all. If it is, an option not to install the built-in apache could be added. Giving us choices, instead of taking them away. I consider removing the built-in SMP server a major inconvenience.

I would file this with WRC. The settings documentation suggest that you can specify the in- and output encoding with the Charset (Tekenset) setting. That implies that you should set that to utf-8, but that doesn't actually work. From looking at the source code, it appears that the business service (EnsLib.REST.Service) hardcodes a %GlobalBinaryStream response stream, which will output the bytes as they are.

As a workaround you could convert (encode) the stream to UTF-8 yourself before sending it.

Thanks, this is very useful. I've just tested this on an image with various build steps, and this saves us quite a bit of image space. The copy step now adds a little under 300MB to the base image, instead of almost 5GB (!). Squashing an image has the same effect, but prevents layer caching, so each push to a docker repository would upload the entire image. Your way, after the first time, presumably just the 300MB. Nice!

Interestingly, we've had already contacted our sales engineers about the massive amount of image disk space used after our build steps. I couldn't find what it's used for; the actual Linux filesystem is way smaller. The build steps also don't visibly use significant disk space, that I could find. I'm hoping InterSystems manages to do something about this in the future. In the meantime, we've got a nice workaround. Thanks again!

In our case, it adds 2.3s to a build that takes way longer than that. (Our build creates Foundation namespaces, and loading the FHIR resources takes insanely long.) I expect this to be Python startup time, plus some time proportional to the amount of data to copy (roughly 300MB in my test).

A simple space before the modulus operator will fix this:

#($select($data(^ImportantFlag) #2:"Important!",1:"Normal"))#

(Note that I needed to add a closing brace for the $Select as well.) If you wish, you can add a few more spaces for readability. 😉

And for completeness: setting a property with a name not known until runtime can be done with the counterpart of getattr, setattr:

USER>do ##class(%SYS.Python).Shell()

Python 3.10.6 (main, Mar 10 2023, 10:55:28) [GCC 11.3.0] on linux
Type quit() or Ctrl-D to exit this shell.
>>> e=iris.cls("%Exception.PythonException")._New("MyOops",123,"def+123^XYZ","SomeData")
>>> e.Name
'MyOops'
>>> setattr(e,'Name','TheirOops')
>>> e.Name
'TheirOops'

I agree with the problem (and the emotional effect it has!), less with the solution. The moment I e.g. take a call, the BPL/DTL may not be in a state fit to save it. Making the server handle this seems overly complicated. My personal preference would be to just have a simple JavaScript method keep the web session alive as long as the browser is open. That would also alleviate the need for these constant "Your session is about to expire" popups in the Ensemble production portal.

Gertjan Klein · Sep 12, 2023 go to post

Yes, something like that could work. I personally won't spend time on this, as I refuse to use the browser editors for this reason. I still use Studio for everything. It has it's annoyances, but at least it doesn't destroy my work for no good reason.

(This whole conversation astonishes me. We are talking about ideas and votes, like this is some minor inconvenience to some, instead of a prio 1 bug that InterSystems should fix yesterday.)

When an error has occurred, the return value is not 0. Instead, it is a %Status, and likely already contains the error information you need.

As to your actual question, finding (the id of) the response message header is not trivial. Ensemble Business Services have a %RequestHeader property from which you can take the CorrespondingMessageId, but unfortunately it is only populated if the call did not return an error status. It is still possible, though. You can use the id of the request body to find out what you need. It does need some SQL, though:

ClassMethod GetResponseHeaderId(RequestId As%String, Output sc As%Status) As%String
{
  &sql(SELECT CorrespondingMessageId INTO :ResponseHeaderId
         FROM Ens.MessageHeader
        WHERE MessageBodyId = :RequestId)
  If SQLCODE Set sc = $$$ERROR($$$SQLError, SQLCODE, $Get(%msg))
  
  Set sc = $$$OKReturn ResponseHeaderId
}

With this helper method, you can open the response message header object. Assuming the request body is called CallReq:

Set Id = ..GetResponseHeaderId(CallReq.%Id(), .sc)
  If 'sc Quit sc
  
  Set RspHdr = ##class(Ens.MessageHeader).%OpenId(Id, , .sc)
  If 'sc Quit sc
  
  $$$LOGINFO("Response is an error: "_RspHdr.IsError)

HTH,
Gertjan.

As far as I know, %File does not allow setting the file encoding. The %Stream.FileCharacter class Dmitry mentions does, but it's not called encoding. To use UTF-8, you need to set property TranslateTable to "UTF8" (no dash).
