join the fun "Wonders of the World" journey on InterSystems Global Masters advocate hub!
You'll see a challenge to provide feedback on Global Masters, a challenge with selfie photos (OMG that's so great to see the Community's selfies! That's not a public challenge so don't worry we will not publish it unless you gave us your permission!), challenges with interesting facts and tech video.
You have ideas on how to make the Tech Article contest even better?
We want to hear from all of you: both from our participants and from those who were unable to participate! Please answer some questions to help us improve our writing contest:
Our judges mentioned that it was a very tough challenge to choose only three articles each because more deserved points. Despite it all, they persevered and now it's time to announce the winners!
Let's meet the winners and look at their articles:
Docker 20.10.14 (released March 23, 2022) changes the Linux capabilities given to containers in a manner that is incompatible with the Linux capability checker in InterSystems IRIS 2021.1 (and up) containers.
Users running Docker 20.10.14 on Linux will find that IRIS 2021.1+ containers will fail to start and the logs will incorrectly report that required Linux capabilities are missing. For example:
InterSystems announces another developer preview release, as part of the developer preview program for the 2022.3. Many updates and enhancements have been added in 2022.3 and there are also brand new capabilities, such as the new FHIR SQL Builder, improvements for Columnar Storage, and support to Oracle Linux 9. Some of these features or improvements may not be available in this current developer preview.
For many in today's interoperability landscape, REST reigns supreme. With the overabundance of tools and approaches to REST API development, what tools do you choose and what do you need to plan for before writing any code?
When AMD published the x86-64 standard in 1999, little did they know they were inventing what would become the de-facto architecture for server CPUs. But the CPUs of today aren’t the same as ones produced 20 years back – as they have extensions for everything from Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) to Hardware-Assisted Virtualization (VT-d).
InterSystems would like to take better advantage of these new extensions in upcoming versions of InterSystems IRIS. While our compilers are smart enough to create optimized code for many situations, some optimizations can only be turned on by explicitly cutting off support for processors that do not have that instruction set. Additionally, we are finding it increasingly difficult to maintain older CPU models to test on.
NOTE: we previously found an issue with the 2021.1.1.324.0 builds. The 2021.1.1 maintenance releases have been removed from the WRC and have been replaced with 2021.1.2.336.0 builds. 2021.1.2 containers will be available shortly.
Two new sets of maintenance releases are now available:
Caché 2018.1.6, Ensemble 2018.1.6, and HSAP 2018.1.6
InterSystems IRIS 2020.1.2, IRIS for Health 2020.1.2, and HealthShare Health Connect 2020.1.2
Installation kits and containers can be downloaded from the WRC Software Distribution site. Container images for the Enterprise Editions of InterSystems IRIS and IRIS for Health and all corresponding components are available from the InterSystems Container Registry.
We have more exciting news! The new InterSystems online programming contest dedicated to Generative AI, Vector Search and Machine Learning is starting very soon!
As Bill has mentioned earlier in his post, we have carefully reviewed the JSON capabilities and made some adjustments to ensure they deliver the best benefit to you. In this post, I am going to describe the modifications in more detail and provide guidance for you to understand the implication for your code base.
We're pleased to invite all the developers to the upcoming "Enterprise-grade Source Code Management" webinar on May 21st at 11:00 AM EDT.
You will learn how Deltanji from George James Software can control large scale InterSystems applications throughout the development, testing, deployment and maintenance cycle.
Presenters: @George James, CEO, George James Software @John Murray, Senior Product Engineer, George James Software
What is Deltanji and what will be demonstrated at this webinar?
InterSystems is announcing an end of maintenance event for Zen Reports beginning in Intersystems IRIS and IRIS for Health 2025.1. This follows the deprecation notice made when InterSystems IRIS was introduced in 2018 and subsequent inclusion of InterSystems Reports in 2020 to provide replacement reporting functionality. An overview of the timeline is:
March 2018. InterSystems IRIS 2018.1: Announcement of Zen Reports deprecation, continued shipment to provide continuity for existing applications
We put in production the new DC update today. With this update we fixed some bugs, like publishing drafts with proper date and RSS fix and introduced the new look to the member page.
Now member's page consists of Posts, Comments, and Favorites: e.g. this is the page of Alexander Koblov:
Fast transfer. Pass globals, classes and tables from InterSystems IRIS to Python with ease and speed (10x faster than old QueryExecute). Documentation.
You may have heard about our mg-dbx-napi interface for IRIS which provides insanely fast access from Node.js. If you've been following recent developments in the server-side JavaScript world, you'll be excited to know that mg-dbx-napi also works with Bun.js, the latter proving to be significantly faster than Node.js for many/most purposes.
Of course, if you're a Node.js user, you'll probably wonder how mg-dbx-napi compares with the Native API for Node.js that is included with IRIS.
We announce the Second Developer Community Contest:
Developer Community MVP of the March!
The rules are the same: win Developer Community MVP award in March and receive a free registration to the Solution Developers Conference at InterSystems Global Summit 2016!
We are excited to announce a new part of InterSystems documentation that makes it easier to upgrade InterSystems IRIS® data platform, InterSystems IRIS® for Health™, or HealthShare® Health Connect. The Upgrade Impact Checklist at https://docs.intersystems.com/upgrade shows you all the things you need to consider – and only the things you need to consider – in an upgrade between any two versions.
Join this webinar to make a technical deep dive, see a demonstration, and benchmark horizontal scaling InterSystems FHIR Server on Amazon Web Services with Enterprise Cache Protocol (ECP).
⏱ Date & Time: Thursday, August 18, 8 AM ET | 2:00 PM CEST 👨🏫 Speaker: @Ron Sweeney, Full Stack Architect at Integration Required
