InterSystems Developer Community is a community of 23,587 amazing developers
We're a place where InterSystems IRIS programmers learn and share, stay up-to-date, grow together and have fun!

Hi Community!

We’re pleased to announce that several Early Access Programs (EAPs) are now open for registration. These programs provide developers with the opportunity to explore upcoming features and technologies from InterSystems before their general release.

By joining an EAP, you can:

  • Evaluate and test new functionality
  • Provide direct feedback to product teams
  • Help shape the future direction of InterSystems platforms

If you're interested in contributing to the evolution of our tools and getting early insight into what's coming next, we encourage you to review the following available programs and sign up:

#InterSystems Demo Games entry


⏯️ The Ultimate 3D Industrial Simulation powered by a Game Engine with InterSystems IRIS

In this demo, InterSystems IRIS Interoperability comes alive in an amazing, game-like user experience based on our Ultimate Control Tower demo. We visualize machines in a virtual 3D factory building, interacting with InterSystems IRIS in real time—displaying current statuses and sensor data, simulating machine outages and predictive maintenance scenarios, and triggering workflow tasks and actions in InterSystems IRIS. By using a mobile app on a tablet—and even a VR headset for a fully immersive experience—we unleash the power of InterSystems IRIS.

Presenters:
🗣 @Stephan Mohr, Sales Engineer, InterSystems
🗣 @Jannis Stegmann, Sales Engineer, InterSystems
🗣 @Benjamin Kiwitz, Intern, InterSystems
🗣 @Tuba Incedag, Intern, InterSystems

At hackathons that InterSystems participated and I supported, many students were asking how all their teammates could use the same IRIS database that they spun up in a container. I suggested using ngrok to expose their localhost IRIS and realized we don't have documentation on that. Hence, I thought this would be great to let more people knwo about this powerful technique for enhancing collaboration during development and testing.

Our goal on the Developer Community is to foster a high-quality, trustworthy, and original body of technical content created by and for developers. While AI tools like ChatGPT can be helpful in the writing process, we expect all published content to reflect authentic expertise and personal understanding. If you have any questions or wish to discuss your coding problem with an AI, consider using our Developer Community AI chat.

This will be an introduction to Python programming in the context of IRIS.

Before anything I will cover an important topic: How python works, this will help you understand some issues and limitations you may encounter when working with Python in IRIS.

All the articles and examples can be found in this git repository: iris-python-article

HTML tag in IRIS

Hi,

After converting from Ensemble 2018 to IRIS 2024 I noticed that HTML tag is not recognized?

I just copied & pasted this same from Ensemble to IRIS and in Ensemble looks fine!?

Thanks

Faced with the enormous and evergrowing amounts of data being generated in the world today, software architects need to pay special attention to the scalability of their solutions. They must also design systems that can, when needed, handle many thousands of concurrent users. It’s not easy, but designing for massive scalability is an absolute necessity.

A workload averaging 1000 1-kilobyte queries per second is compared with another involving 10 1-terabyte queries per hour

Software architects have several options for designing scalable systems. They can scale vertically by using bigger machines with dozens of cores. They can use data distribution (replication) techniques to scale horizontally for increasing numbers of users. And they can scale data volume horizontally through the use of a data partitioning strategy. In practice, software architects will employ several of these techniques, trading off hardware costs, code complexity, and ease of deployment to suit their particular needs.

This article will discuss how InterSystems IRIS Data Platform supports vertical scalability and horizontal scalability of both user and data volumes. It will outline several options for distributing and partitioning data and/or user volume, giving scenarios in which each option would be particularly useful. Finally, this paper will talk about how InterSystems IRIS helps simplify the configuration and provisioning of distributed systems.

Hello InterSystems Community,

I'm working with HealthShare, and need to create a user account for our development environment with specific access requirements. This user will need only to:

Review messaging and environments
See production and namespaces
NOT modify anything (read-only access)

After reviewing the documentation on user roles and rights management, I can see the default roles available in our system include:

Ensemble/Interoperability Roles:

Join us on Thursday to see the new features of Deltanji source control, version 8.1.

We'll be demoing our new Git Location Driver along with other functionality and usability improvements.

The Git Location Driver enables Deltanji to integrate directly with Git repositories, makes Deltanji the perfect source control companion to those who use Git-based repos by providing tighter integration with InterSystems IRIS.
