In this article, we’ll build a highly available IRIS configuration using Kubernetes Deployments with distributed persistent storage instead of the “traditional” IRIS mirror pair. This deployment would be able to tolerate infrastructure-related failures, such as node, storage and Availability Zone failures. The described approach greatly reduces the complexity of the deployment at the expense of slightly extended RTO.

InterSystems IRIS 2019.1 has been out for a while and I would like to cover some enhancements for handling JSON which might have gone unnoticed. Dealing with JSON as a serialization format is an important part of building modern applications, especially when you interact with REST endpoints.

Hi Community,

In this article, I listed 5 useful SQL functions with explanations and query examples 👇🏻

These 5 functions are

• COALESCE
• RANK
• DENSE_RANK
• ROW_NUMBER
• Function to Get Running Totals

So Let us start with COALESCE function

I'm pleased to announce a milestone in the lifecycle of the ObjectScript package manager, ZPM. The package manager has offered developers the ability to neatly package up ObjectScript code and deployment configuration settings and version information in a convenient way. Over the last few years, it has evolved greatly into an integral part of many development workflows.

Today, we'd like to spotlight one of the standout members of the InterSystems Developer Community: @Benjamin De Boe. Since the inception of the InterSystems Developer Community, he has shared his expertise, contributing thoughtful articles, practical demos, and answers to questions. Having worked with InterSystems products since 2010, Benjamin brought invaluable knowledge to the Developer Community. From navigating iKnow projects to simplifying complex deployments with Docker and Python, he has continually inspired fellow developers through his work and presence on the Community.

🤩 Let's take a closer look at Benjamin's journey with InterSystems technology and our Developer Community...

In this article we are going to compare $Increment and $Sequence functions.

I have experienced that my iris server is gone due to upgrading the docker version when I have built IRIS server on docker container.

Based on this experience, I'd like to show you how to make a backup for the IRIS server before upgrading platform or docker, and the procedure for rebuilding the IRIS in a new environment.

IRIS server backup procedure

When you have finished building for the IRIS server, you need to make a backup.

Just like Caché pattern matching, Regular Expressions can be used in Caché to identify patterns in text data – only with a much higher expressive power. This article provides a brief introduction into Regular Expressions and what you can do with it in Caché. The information provided herein is based on various sources, most notably the book “Mastering Regular Expressions” by Jeffrey Friedl and of course the Caché online documentation. The article is not intended to discuss all the possibilities and details of regular expressions. Please refer to the information sources listed in chapter 5 if you would like to learn more. If you prefer to read off-line you can also download the PDF version of this article.

There are often questions surrounding the ideal Apache HTTPD Web Server configuration for HealthShare. The contents of this article will outline the initial recommended web server configuration for any HealthShare product.

As a starting point, Apache HTTPD version 2.4.x (64-bit) is recommended. Earlier versions such as 2.2.x are available, however version 2.2 is not recommended for performance and scalability of HealthShare.

As an IT and cloud team manager with 18 years of experience with InterSystems technologies, I recently led our team in the transformation of our traditional on-premises ERP system to a cloud-based solution. We embarked on deploying InterSystems IRIS within a Kubernetes environment on AWS EKS, aiming to achieve a scalable, performant, and secure system. Central to this endeavor was the utilization of the AWS Application Load Balancer (ALB) as our ingress controller.

Hello, our dear Members of the Community!

We're so happy to share with you that our InterSystems Developer Community has reached yet other AWESOME milestones 🎉:

ZPM is designed to work with applications and modules for InterSystems IRIS Data Platform. It consists of two components, the ZPN Client which is a CLI to manage modules, and The Registry which is a database of modules and meta-information. We can use ZPM to search, install, upgrade, remove and publish modules. With ZPM you can install ObjectScript classes, Frontend applications, Interoperability productions, IRIS BI solutions, IRIS Datasets or any files such as Embedded Python wheels.

Today this cookbook will go through 3 sections:

I'm sure you have met this situation:

• There is a bug in a System that you can't reproduce yourself locally
• You need to run a few lines in the affected instance
• You get full access to System Management Portal
• But there is just no terminal, nor console, nor access with Studio, Atelier or VSCode
• How to run your few lines for testing ???
