Hi Community, 
We prepared a fun online game for those who will be at the Global Summit in-person, and those new members who will join the Community at the event. If you are at the Summit but do not see the game - please let me know, I will add you 
You can enter the game and grab the prizes right at the Developer Community booth - 5th Floor, Tech Exchange room.

Hey Developers,

We're pleased to invite you to join the next InterSystems IRIS 2020.1 Tech Talk: DevOps on June 2nd  at 10:00 AM EDT! 

In this InterSystems IRIS 2020.1 Tech Talk, we focus on DevOps. We'll talk about InterSystems System Alerting and Monitoring, which offers unified cluster monitoring in a single pane for all your InterSystems IRIS instances. It is built on Prometheus and Grafana, two of the most respected open source offerings available.

Next, we'll dive into the InterSystems Kubernetes Operator, a special controller for Kubernetes that streamlines InterSystems IRIS deployments and management. It's the easiest way to deploy an InterSystems IRIS cluster on-prem or in the Cloud, and we'll show how you can configure mirroring, ECP, sharding and compute nodes, and automate it all.

Finally, we'll discuss how to speed test InterSystems IRIS using the open source Ingestion Speed Test. This tool is available on InterSystems Open Exchange for your own testing and benchmarking. 

I would like to introduce my new project for the Globals Contest. A very new view for the globals browser

IAM 2.8.1 Release

InterSystems API Manager (IAM) version 2.8.1 is now Generally Available.  In addition to a spade of performance improvements and bug fixes, this release adds significant new functionality, including:

• Core
  
  • Consumer Groups - Lets you group together consumers to create service tiers
  • Event Hooks - Enables IAM to call a web hook when certain events occur. For example, send a PagerDuty message if an endpoint fails.
  • Improvements to Hybrid Mode - Relaxed version checking; control plane can continue to work if the database is down.

Hi all

I'm struggling to insert into a table, and it is baffling me. The insert statement is now very simple (I was using a complex INSERT SELECT statement but I'm trying to narrow down the problem).

Insert statement:

INSERT INTO Phu_Replay_Schema.

Hey Community,

Hello, everyone!

InterSystems IRIS has a menu called Interoperability.

It provides mechanisms to easily create system integrations (adapters, record maps, BPMs, data conversions, etc.) so different systems can be easily connected.

A variety of operations can be included in the data relay process, as examples we can cite: to connect systems that are not normally connected, data can be received (or sent) according to the specifications of the destination system. Also, information can be acquired and added from another system before sending the data.

I am going to take the IRIS Core Solutions Developer Specialist Certification at Global Summit on Monday.  Anyone got any tips or suggestions?

Thanks

In our latest episode of Data Points, I had a conversation with @Michelle Spisak and @Adam Coppola about Learning Services initiatives at next week's Global Summit in Seattle. Take a listen to hear about the various things LS is taking part in, and hopefully we'll see you there!

Hey Community,

Hi Community:

I'm flying out to Seattle tomorrow to set up. Can't wait to see the city again; it's really beautiful. 

We just finalized the conference guide, which is being printed now. I am attaching a PDF. 

Only a few days to go until the Global Summit! George James Software will be on hand to talk about any projects you may have on the horizon, such as application development, data and platform migration, system integration, training, and support – we can work with you to find practical and maintainable solutions that support the growing needs of your organization. 

We're also running a User Group Session on Wednesday, July 22nd at 12pm. It's a great opportunity to find out more about our tools and ask us (and current users!) any questions.

InterSystems and the developer community around ZPM have been working together to take ZPM to the next level, building it into IRIS and making it a tool that can not only manage 3rd-party code, but key parts of InterSystems' products. You can hear a lot more on this topic at Global Summit 2022, and attend an experience lab to get hands-on. 

As a developer, you can also join the ongoing discussion about some final key design issues we are exploring with the community.

Hello to all my fellow Cache Experts.   Quick question about the MONLBL output that identifies performance issues.  There is a metric value output by MONLBL called "Obtain [NEW] connection to Cache".   Supposedly that metric captures the time taken between the request reaching the CSP Gateway and a connection to Cache being reserved for the purpose of servicing the request.   All of that being said, if that metric value is high for many requests, such as 19.x seconds, then can anyone tell me what that metric really means and how to improve (lower) the new connection to Cache time.

Hi All,

I am trying to install IRIS Health CE on a Ubuntu VM, so I can test IAM with it.

Hey Community,

We greatly appreciate all your feedback on the InterSystems Grand Prix Contest 2022! Please take a few questions to help us improve our contests.

Hi All,

I am taking a look at some legacy coding as it seems to be generating an error when processing the messaging. The message being process contains a PDF which we are transforming into a stream and sending to another system.

I have noticed this issue only occurs with PDFS that are roughly 2800kbs in size or above. All other PDFS process fine. 

The error that it is generating is proDOCMAN BPL Error: 5002 : Cache error: <MAXSTRING>zS2+72^pacDOCMAN.proDOCMAN.Thread1.1

proDOCMAN being the name of the process.

Hello everyone,

I would like to know if it is possible to connect to a REST API through production, without having to write a class that extends %CSP.REST. Is there a GUI based way where I can configure my GetRest and then use EnsLib.REST.GenericService and EnsLib.REST.GenericOperation to configure my production and perform transformations? 

Hi Community:

We've just added two new sessions and a panel discussion (Take a look below.)  And if you haven't registered yet, there's still time.

Hi Community,

I clipped this final list of sessions (with two new ones co-presented with AWS) out of the draft Global Summit Conference Guide. Take a look.

Also, it's not too late to REGISTER >

So out of the nearly 70 sessions, which do you think are the most popular?

Hi ,

We have inbound HL7 message we want to transform. Is it possible to copy inbound NTE segments at ORC level to PID group level in the transformed messages? I see functions  for insert / append / set etc but they appear to be related to specific properties / fields of segments as iodised to the entire segment.

thanks

Hi,

Any suggestion on how to compare dates? Below is my code but it does not seem to work.

USER>w $zdate(zdateh(x,8),1) > $zdate($zdateh(y,8),1)

When I set x to "06/01/2022" and set y to "04/01/2022" gives me an output of 1

When I set x to "09/01/2019" and set y to "04/1/2022" still gives me an output of 1

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!
