Hello community!
I have a small challenge for you :)

One of customers is sending quite a lot of messages between interoperability components, which mix standard request content and streams representing serialized JSON objects. As these JSON streams can be quite long (but not too long, just couple hundreds of characters) they would appreciate if the JSON content of stream was displayed in a nice-to-read way, using syntax highlighting by message trace view.

I'm pleased to announce the publication of gj :: dataLoader, a new VS Code extension that simplifies the task of loading data from local CSV files into SQL tables on your InterSystems IRIS servers.

Here's an introductory video:

Use IRIS Load Data in VSCode

The Load Data utility it is an excellent tool to load data from CSV/TXT files into an IRIS SQL Table, but it is required send the target file to the IRIS server and write the Load Data sentence to ingest the file content. Now it is possible select a file in VSCode, set the table destination and submit the request. The vscode-load-data utility will send the file to the IRIS server and run the Load Data command to you! Very simple:

When I started my journey with InterSystems IRIS, especially in Interoperability, one of the initial and common questions I had was: how can I run something on an interval or schedule? In this topic, I want to share two simple classes that address this issue. I'm surprised that some similar classes are not located somewhere in EnsLib. Or maybe I didn't search well? Anyway, this topic is not meant to be complex work, just a couple of snippets for beginners.

Manifest or Class?

I have the unfortunate job of installing IRIS and Healthshare (real Healthshare not Healthconnect) on 16 difference instances (tst, stg, prd with mirrors etc). the Dev was set up manually (mostly by me).

So I decided to create a class that installed the db's, namespaces, mappings and HSREGISTRY options , i then decided an installer manifest was a better idea, I keep changing my mind on which!. I understanding manifest is "typically" for dockers to create the environment but have seen ISC use them for creating new setups aswell (outside docker)

Hello, we are currently using the Cache Database released in January 2018.

There are no specific classes or SQL mappings in the namespaces where data is stored.

Only a few routines(.mac) and stored data are in the global area.

In this case, when accessing the Cache DB through Java, is it essential to write SQL mappings or wrapper classes? The reason I ask is that our team doesn't have advanced developers who specialize in Cache.

Alternatively, is it possible to directly call pre-existing routines from Java?

IKO Plus: VIP in Kubernetes on IrisClusters

Power your IrisCluster serviceTemplate with kube-vip

If you're running IRIS in a mirrored IrisCluster for HA in Kubernetes, the question of providing a Mirror VIP (Virtual IP) becomes relevant. Virtual IP offers a way for downstream systems to interact with IRIS using one IP address. Even when a failover happens, downstream systems can reconnect to the same IP address and continue working.

The lead in above was stolen (gaffled, jacked, pilfered) from techniques shared to the community for vips across public clouds with IRIS by @Eduard Lebedyuk ...

Articles: ☁ vip-aws | vip-gcp | vip-azure

This version strives to solve the same challenges for IRIS on Kubernetes when being deployed via MAAS, on prem, and possibly yet to be realized using cloud mechanics with Manged Kubernetes Services.

Hello community.

I have a request from a client who wants to do the following.
Currently, they have a data upload process via FTP in which they have implemented a RecordMap to store the information of the CSV files that are uploaded to the FTP directory.
Now they want to have another directory so that it is ONLY executed through an external instruction, not when the file is uploaded to the directory.

Hi everyone,

I’m working with an existing InterSystems IRIS server that hosts several web applications and namespace-specific code and data. I’d like to reverse-engineer the current environment into a %Installer.Manifest file so I can store it in Git and manage its changes.

My goal is to:

Hi community.

I was wondering if it was possible to use something like EnsLib.SQL.InboundAdapter with tables in IRIS.

This library monitors when a record has been inserted into a table in an external database, so it requires a DSN to connect to that database.

My goal is to make a call to an external API that takes a long time, it could spend nearly an hour (or more) completing its processes, but I don't want to block the main process.

Docker IRIS_Community Mount

Hello,

i am building a new container with Docker-Compose with a --volume ./:/irisdev/app:rw to mount a host volume (UBUNTU).

If i try to create some data in /irisdev/app i have no write permission

If i open a bash host session i see all mounted files of my ./ directory. But with ls -l only UID 100 has write permission. The UID for "iris owner" is 52773.

Is there a way to set the UID and Group to "iris owner" ?

regards Matthias
