I'm working with clients planning migrate from Caché to IRIS and I want to summary advantages to go to IRIS. I think is:

1. IntegratedML - AutoML - Agile machine learning
2. IAM - InterSystems API Manager
3. Interoperability
4. Advanced Reports (JReport)
5. Cloud Manager/Docker and DevOps support
6. ZPM - Package manager
7. Native API - Node.js, Python, Java and .NET interoperability
8. Core based license x user based license
9. InterSystems Support and new features
10. Improved management and monitoring features

Can you help me to think or detail these 10 topics?

Has anyone tried AWS Batch with InterSystems IRIS docker images?

I have a noninteractive workload (but it requires internet access from the job to deliver results), so I'm considering using it as a simpler alternative to ECS since Fargate backs both, and that's enough for my use case.

I wonder if anyone tried and cares to share the results, issues, cfn templates.

Gostaria de saber se alguém na comunidade já usou o dynatrace com o conjunto para coletar dados do msg / cache.dat e outras métricas

Would like to know if anyone in the community has used dynatrace as a set to collect data from msg/cache.dat and other metrics (mod edit)

The latest Node.js Weekly newsletter included a link to this article:

https://thecodebarbarian.com/getting-started-with-vector-databases-in-n…

I'm wondering if anyone has been considering or actually using IRIS as a vector database for this kind of AI/ChatGPT work?

Hey guys,

I do love Global Masters (and all the rewards that I get from it) and one of my favourite activities is answering quiz questions. And just now I've had a really cute question What is the result of: WRITE "99" + "cents"? which brought a smile to my face (because I do love to add questions like this to the tests for my students). This made me think that I would really like to somehow show my appreciation to the author of this question. 

Thus, I created an idea to add something like a 👍 to a quiz question.

When you find yourself in need or desire of learning something new in technology and you face the challenge of embarking on a new venture, what is the appropriate starting point? How do you decide where to begin and how to gradually approach the process, especially when the challenge seems overwhelming?
 

Myself I read official documentation or try to start with something I know and then learn something new very related.

Documentation here explains how IRIS Portal can be launched in a tab in the VS Code editing area from Server Manager. One limitation though is that if you then perform an action in Portal which needs to invoke a modal message box in the browser (e.g. window.alert() or window.confirm()) this doesn't work.

I created this issue on the VS Code repository requesting a change that will unblock this. The issue needs more evidence of community support within the next week if it is to stand a chance of progressing.

In the discussions at https://community.intersystems.com/post/intersystems-studio-deprecated-starting-20232 one notable topic has been that some Studio users make regular use of its facilities for exporting multiple code artifacts (e.g. classes and routines) into a single XML file on the workstation, then exporting that file into a different server namespace.

Unless / until equivalent features are added to the VS Code ObjectScript extension, can these people fill the gap by using the System Explorer section of Management Portal?

Our previous code golf ended with an overwhelming win, so now it's time for another one. Parenthesis Hell is a Lisp-like esoteric programming language(esolang). As a Lisp-like language, the code consists only of nested matched pairs of opened and closed parenthesis. Your task is to write a method that receives a string of parenthesis and returns 1 if the order of the parenthesis is valid. For example, the string of parenthesis (())() is valid because it contains a matched pair of opened and closed parenthesis at each position. The string ()((()))) is not valid because it contains one unmatched parenthesis.

With rapid evolution of Generative AI,  to embrace it and help us improve productivity is a must. Let's discuss and embrace the ideas of how we can leverage Generative AI to improve our routine work.

Hi everyone,

This one had me breaking a sweat 😅

When a SOAP request has a %Stream.GlobalBinary property, it fails to serialize to base64 when stream is larger than ~43MB with 

ERROR #6301: SAX XML Parser Error: <MAXSTRING>xeWrite+7^%occXMLInternal

Unless you enable the following parameters :  

Parameter BASE64LINEBREAKS = 1;
Parameter USEPPGHANDLER = 1;

The first one instructs %SOAP.

 It's time for a Code Golf round!

Isogram 

A word or phrase that has no repeating letters, consecutive or non-consecutive.

Implement a method that checks if the received string is an isogram or not.
Assume the empty string is an isogram. 
Ignore the letter case.

Allowed inputs: A-Z, a-z.

As usual, the shortest solution wins!

Hey Community!

It's been almost three weeks since the end of the Global Summit 2023 (here is a brief reminder of day 1, day 2 and day 3) and you may want to relieve the excitement or, maybe, wish to see the sessions. Here is your chance to influence the order in which those sessions are published here, on the Developer Community.

Here is a full list of sessions so please write down in the comments the ones you look forward to the most! And we'll do our best to satisfy the demand 😉

I want to deploy IRIS apps running in containers in Kubernetes with user accounts configured.

I have a %ZSTART routine which looks for an XML file with Users export data and if the %ZSTART routine finds this file, it imports it. This Users export data can be obtained by running a class method.

I have defined a task which can be scheduled or run on demand. This tasks imports user data from an XM file.

In Kubernetes I can provide a ConfigMap to stage the Users data for the %ZSTART routine.

Hey guys!
I'm looking for good people to give a feed back about my article, just access the link below, translate from Brazilian Portuguese to your language if necessary and leave your feed back

Link: https://pt.community.intersystems.com/post/veremos-seguir-como-o-inters…

Don't leave your feed back here, leave it in the article.

We are very eager to learn what kind of feedback you might have for InterSystems.

We hope you had a chance to download and install one of the kits that show how the new process works. If not, you still can do it, following the instructions on these posts:

• https://community.intersystems.com/post/how-do-i-apply-nopws-early-acce…
• https://community.intersystems.com/post/discontinue-apache-web-server-installations-aka-private-web-server-pws

Our target release is InterSystems IRIS 2023.2 (and InterSystems IRIS for Health 2023.2) and will be available in a few months.

A question for anyone using InterSystems technology:

What are the biggest challenges you’ve faced either trying to hire developers that know ObjectScript, or trying to train developers on ObjectScript?

• Are developers generally willing or resistant to the idea of learning ObjectScript?   Why?
• For developers trying to learn ObjectScript - what was that process like?   What were the main challenges there?
  • In-person learning?  
  • Online class? 
  • Documentation?  
  • What were your impressions?

• How did it compare to other languages?
• What would have made it easier to learn?

Hi everyone!

If you are working with IRIS 2021+ and you remove all of the built in entries for External Language Servers, there is an unexpected consequence that may prevent you from running an installer to upgrade your version of IRIS. This does appear to be a bug which has been raised with WRC, however there are some people that may have recently removed these settings and then will soon be upgrading their environment and could face this same issue.

Specifically, the removal of all the External Language Server entries will also remove the "[Gateways]" heading in the iris.

Hi everybody!

Many developers prefer a dark version of applications. Not surprisingly, @Guillaume Rongier posted an idea of making a dark version for the Developer Community. 

So we look forward to hearing from you.

Please send us your feedback by using this Poll on the Ideas Portal, and by voting and commenting on the relevant idea.

Thank you in advance for your votes and have a good day!

In a healthcare setting we've an Ensemble namespace through which passes a key HL7 feed (the ADT feed from our PAS). It is split up, transformed and passed on to multiple downstream systems. We consider the feed going to each downstream system an interface. Each interface is developed as separately as possible - typically as a separate branch of our git repo (which we access via VS Code).

All this is fine till we try and name the version(s). We both want to know what is currently in live (the sum of all the interfaces in the namespace) and know what version each  specific interface is at.

Hello everyone,

As someone who is new to the world of InterSystems technology, I have been looking for the best resources to learn more about it.

I have heard great things about InterSystems technology, particularly its speed and scalability, and I want to make sure I have a solid understanding of it before diving in further. From what I understand, the official InterSystems courses cover a wide range of topics and are taught by experts in the field.

I would appreciate any recommendations on which courses to take, particularly if there are any that provide a good foundation for beginners.

Such most popular nowadays CI platforms as GitHub and Gitlab, offers the ability to run any docker image as a service, mostly useful for integration tests.

Morning all,

I got access to the new Bing this morning and thought I would try out some things on it. Below are a series of screenshots of what I searched and the results.
Please share your experiences here too.

Hi Community, 

We've launched a nice competition on Global Masters under the "Season of Giving" campaign, which I hope will bring inspiration to all of you!

We inviting you to share your task ideas for new applications that could be developed on InterSystems Technology. Let's enrich our Open Exchange apps gallery with great applications in 2021!

Hi Community,

A long time ago, I create a package for a String datatype that works with Regular Expression. It is quite a simple solution.

This can work well with packages like the OpenAPI-Suite, where you can then use the "Regular Expression String" as the type for properties of the validator objects where the Swagger contained a Regular Expression.

I am proposing we start a common package of datatypes for use. The package name to use can be provided by the admins.

The old package of mine can be removed, as it is also on a very old git profile on an email I no longer have.

Hi Community,

Please read this when you have the time and keep an open mind. Also, you are welcome to tell me it is a terrible idea.

The main reason for this post

If you look at NPM, it has 1.3 million packages. Now ask yourself, is this an achievement or a nightmare?
How many of those packages are no longer supported?
How many of those packages break compatibility on version changes?
How do you know which one to use?

Hi folks!

I'm playing with IRIS interoperability at the moment and it turned out that Data Transformation cannot be the element of production by itself.

It can be called either from data rule or from business process.

But why? 

What if I just want to change the message with the transformation and transfer the message somewhere else? Why the overhead with Rule or Business process?

We've added a new channel to the Developer Community Discord Server, #platforms.  This is a good place to discuss issues related to Operating Systems, CPU architectures, and Containers supported by InterSystems products.

To kick things off, let's talk CentOS.

CentOS has been supported to give developers a free-to-use equivalent to Red Hat Enterprise Linux for IRIS development.  As you're probably aware, Red Hat made significant changes to CentOS which have resulted in it being significantly less stable than RHEL.

When I try to debug using the docker image intersystemsdc/iris-community it is failing. If I change to intersystemsdc/iris-community:2022.3.0.555.0-zpm, I have success.

Sorry, change to: intersystemsdc/iris-community:2022.1.0.209.0-zpm
