Mirror Your Database Across the Galaxy with Seeding

Hello cpf fans! This distraction I used the "seed" capability in IRIS to provision an entire IrisCluster mirror, 4 maps wide with compute starting from an IRIS.DAT in a galaxy far far away. This is pretty powerful if you have had a great deal of success with a solution running on a monolithic implementation and want it to scale to the outer rim with Kubernetes and the InterSystems Kubernetes Operator. Even though my midichlorian count is admittely low, I have seen some hardcore CACHE hackers shovel around DATS, compact and shrink and update their ZROUTINES, so this same approach could also be helpful shrinking and securing your containerized workload too. If you squint and feel all living things around you, you can see a glimpse of in place (logical) mirroring in the future as a function of the operator and a migration path to a fully operational mirrored Death Star as the workload matures.

Over time, while I was working with Interoperability on the IRIS Data Platform, I developed rules for organizing a project code into packages and classes. That is what is called a Naming Convention, usually. In this topic, I want to organize and share these rules. I hope it can be helpful for somebody.

Only method/routine executed as "do Method..." is included into $ESTACK.
How can I modify a method or routine that returns a value so it can be included in $ESTACK?
Example upon executing via Studio Debug ($ESTACK is converted to string with ">" delimiter):
Expected: stackstr = %Debugger.System.DebugStub > LogGenerate > Entry > DirChain > Attributes > LogNew > LogSize > LogFormat > LogWrite
Processes DirChain, LogNew, LogSize, LogFormat are executed as "If Method..."

Hi Community!

We’re excited to announce a brand-new sweepstakes. This time, the theme is:

💡 Initial Developer Experience 💡

We want to hear your thoughts on how we can make the very first steps with InterSystems technologies smoother, clearer, and more inspiring. Whether it’s documentation, onboarding, setup, or tutorials, your ideas can make a real difference!

Hi everyone,

I'm dealing with a situation where LOAD DATA operations — especially large batches with data inconsistencies — are consuming a lot of disk space. I've noticed that the same error messages are being repeatedly logged in the %SQL_Diag.Result and %SQL_Diag.Message tables, which is significantly increasing the size of the database.

One idea was to move these diagnostic tables to a separate database with a configured size limit, but before going down that path, I'd like to ask:

Environment:
Targeted *.inc file (with hundreds of defined macros) is in use throughout the application and included into every class declaration.
Statement "set a = $$$TestIf(3)" is included into a classmethod with no other code in. Expected output 5
Same macro options in *.inc:
#define TestIf(%arr) if %arr>0 QUIT 5
#define TestIf(%arr) if (%arr>0) {QUIT 5}
Issue:
failure to compile class with the same error on all tried definition options as:

Hello everyone! 👋

I have a question regarding roles and resources.

To give you some context: I have a user who has been assigned only the role %HS_UsageDashboard_Access.This allows them to access the dashboards correctly (by giving the direct URL). Then, if I try to access the Management Portal with this same user, I can log in with no access to any resources within it (as expected).

Hi Community,

Confidence and career advancement often go hand-in-hand, and certification is one way to create new pathways forward.

🤔How have you opened up new opportunities in your own career—training? certification? networking?

💭What's made you feel more confident in your role?

Members of our InterSystems certified community recently reflected on how certification has shaped their careers and outlook. Share your own story in the comments!
