User-defined aggregate functions have been supported in IRIS since 2021.1.0. I'd wished upon a star for these years ago before finding a secret hacky way to override MAX and MIN in a custom datatype, but didn't get a chance to actually try one out until today.

The IRIS Management Portal is localized (translated) for some (many?) languages and the language used by the Management Portal interface is determined by the browser settings, often derived from the OS settings (can be changed).

This means that if a user, like me, want to use ONLY the English version of the Management Portal, each and every time you login you need to change the language. VERY annoying.

I know I can change the language configured in Browser, BUT, I want to use English for the IRIS management portal non for all my internet activity!

A recent question from @Vivian Lee reminded me of a rather ancient example.
It was the time when DeepSee's first version was released.
We got Bitmap Index.
And we got BitSlice Index: mapping a numeric value by its binary parts.
So my idea: Why not indexing strings by their characters?
The result of this idea was presented first in June 2008.
IKnow wasn't publicly available at that time.

Do you have an idea that could make a real impact on InterSystems technology and be realised by Community members? Now’s the perfect time to share your thoughts!

We’re preparing something exciting and would love to see the ideas you think could take InterSystems to the next level. To achieve this, we need you to come up with new ideas for our Ideas Portal that could be considered as "Community Opportunity" ideas*.

Thus, put on your thinking cap and submit your ideas on the Ideas Portal by mid-November, and stay tuned for more updates.

Hi guys,

Strange that Horizontal in my below code is "Z" but the if (Horizontal=='Z') is actually not recognizing it and does execute the rest of the code !?

Are there any objectscript functions (not wizards) to export and then import table data (including RowID)?

It doesn't matter what format the exported file is.

The import and export process should preserve all relationships, foreign keys, etc. I need to be able to export and import multiple tables at the same time.

I need this to implement the ability to export multiple tables from one instance and load them into another.

Hi Guys,

Given that Analyst property is defined as class object I'm getting the Analyst ID in the below dataBinding, but I'm looking to display the Analyst name, I tried using dataBinding="Analyst->Name" but no luck, I got the same issue when binding to dataCombo or comboBox ?

Hello everybody,

I’m trying to connect to an InterSystems Caché database from my local development environment using an IPv4 address. Most examples I’ve found show how to connect using the ODBC driver with the localhost or the default IP address (127.0.0.1). However, I want to know how to connect using my local IPv4 address.

Here’s what I need help with:

Welcome to the third and final publication of our articles dedicated to the development of RAG applications based on LLM models. In this final article, we will see, based on our small example project, how we can find the most appropriate context for the question we want to send to our LLM model and for this we will make use of the vector search functionality included in IRIS.

I'm experimenting with adapting SDA3 object model to store medical data in relational form, e.g.:

class Demo.DemoPatient extends (%Persistent, HS.SDA3.Patient) {}

The HS.SDA3.Patient class has the Aliases property which is a nested collection (list) of objects of type HS.SDA3.Name:
