Hi all,

We're developing a medical appointment app that connects doctors' schedules to an appointment provider.

The provider is returning us the appointment in the following format:

Thu Jul 03 08:20:00 CEST 2025

It means, 03 july 2025 at 08:20:00 Central European Summer Time (UTC+2)

But we need the following format:

2025-07-03 08:20:00+02:00

Is there any option to convert zone time code (CEST) to a UTC+x ?

How to convert zone time code (CEST, CET, ET, EDT, etc..) in its zone time in UTC (UTC+2, UTC+1, UTC-5, etc..) ?

Sub-Table Security

InterSystems IRIS provides extensive configurable security options, yet many developers primarily use roles and resources to secure entire tables or routines. Today, we will delve deeper. We can also secure individual columns and rows separately, but these two mechanisms operate very differently. Let's begin with the columns.

Column Security

For testing and demonstration, we will keep our table structure concise and straightforward. We have a table called "Person" in the USER namespace that contains an ID column, a date of birth column (DOB), first name, and last name.

For some build scripting with the InterSystems Package Manager, I'd like to first uninstall a package with `zpm "uninstall"` and then load it from disk using `zpm "load"`. That way anything that got deleted from the source will also be deleted from IRIS.

The problem is that `zpm "uninstall"` takes in a module name and I only have the directory path to the package source. Is there a way to get the module name for an installed IPM module given the source path? It's okay to assume that it has previously been installed from that same directory with `zpm "load"`.

Hi,
I want to automate a menu based program for which I don't have the source

If I run it interactively I do this:
do ^<program>

It presents a menu and then you can go down further menus

Based on the selection it may ask for answers to other questions.

Is there some way I give the program a "response" file?

If not would I be able to use I/O redirection for this task?
Inputs would come from a file.
Output should go to the terminal (so I monitor how far the process has gone)

Once upon a time in Ensemble Management Portal the pool size of each component (Business Host) within the production was displayed in the Production Configuration page.

This information was very useful, especially when a production have tens or hundreds of components.

The ObjectScript language has incredible JSON support through classes like %DynamicObject and %JSON.Adaptor. This support is due to the JSON format's immense popularity over the previous dominance of XML. JSON brought less verbosity to data representation and increased readability for humans who needed to interpret JSON content. To further reduce verbosity and increase readability, the YAML format was created. The very easy-to-read YAML format quickly became the most popular format for representing configurations and parameterizations, due to its readability and minimal verbosity.
