SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill bridges the gap between Python applications and InterSystems IRIS databases, enabling seamless interaction with ObjectScript methods, global arrays, and database objects directly from Python.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Call ObjectScript Methods: Execute any embedded language class method from Python.
  • Control Database Objects: Manage instances of database classes written in ObjectScript or Embedded Python.
  • Work with Global Arrays: Directly access and manipulate InterSystems global arrays.
  • Transaction and Locking: Utilize InterSystems transaction and locking mechanisms within Python applications.
  • Use Case: A Python web application needs to retrieve and update data stored in InterSystems IRIS globals. This Skill allows the application to perform these operations efficiently without needing to write separate ObjectScript code.

Quick Start

Use the Using the Native SDK for Python skill to connect to the InterSystems IRIS database and retrieve the value of the global node 'root'('foo','SubFoo').
