Now Under Heavy Rotation, Your IrisCluster Secrets

A few days before Kubecon, the external-secrets-operator went GA with 1.0.0 and is set to ride shotgun for Kubernetes Secrets Management and put Vault in the backseat. You can glance at the "Providers" list for the solution and immediatley understand that you can leave the "which Secrets Manager" conversation to others while you do your job utilizing external secrets on your IrisCluster workloads, which by my count with the operator and a single IrisCluster is more than a fistful of secrets of different types, even under a single tenant. So let them sprawl, the secrets managers that is, not the secrets.

Network Debugging for Beginners - 2

In my previous article, I structured network communications
in these 3 possible layers, and covered the last

  • Client <---> Transport
  • Server <---> Transport
  • Client <---> Server

In fact, you have the most control over the last one.
The IRIS side as a server is yours and under your full control.
Up to now, the Transport layer was assumed to be as passive as a bare wire.

Hi Everyone!

We have an existing process (running in FIFO order), all business hosts having pool size=1.

Currently we are reading records from a file (one record at a time) then that record goes to business process for further processing and finally through the business operation. As of now we are using synchronous call in our existing code. Before processing the last record we are using hang of 50 seconds because we need to initiate a batch once the processing of last record is finished.

I have a stream that I read out until the end. I then append more content to the stream and want to read out only what has been added. How do I only read out the new contents of the stream? Essentially, I want to read a stream, record the end position, then once the stream is updated read the contents from that recorded position until at the new end. This stream needs to be kept intact for historical reference so cannot be cleared between reads.

Dear Fellow Cache Gurus: I would like to know if there is either any built-in Cache Date/Time function or an easy way to include a timezone abbreviation such as EST, PST, MST, etc... within the Cache Date/Time formats.

I read through the Cache Documentation but could not find anything to achieve this.

So if I do the following command: $ZDateTime($H,1,4,,,4,,,,,"InvalidDate"), then I get an output like this: 02/27/2025 11:10AM

But I am looking for the output to be formatted like this: 02/27/2025 11:10AM EST

InterSystems IRIS is built on an architecture that separates the logical organization of data (namespaces) from its physical storage location (databases). Understanding this separation and the distinction between Namespaces and Databases is crucial for effective data management, security, and especially, high-performance data sharing.

In this article, I will discuss these foundational components and provide a practical guide on leveraging global mappings to share native data structures (globals) across different logical environments.

Databases: Physical Reality

A database represents the physical reality of where the data is stored on the disk. First and foremost, it’s a file in a file system called IRIS.dat (e.g., <Install folder>\mgr\user\IRIS.DAT). The maximum size of this file is 32TB. It is the container for all the actual data and the code. Databases are managed by the IRIS kernel, which handles caching, journaling, and transaction logging at the physical file level.

When you install InterSystems IRIS DBMS, the following databases are installed automatically:

Hello Community,

When I compile the Sample.User class for the first time, and include an ObjectGenerator method intended to run certain logic during each compilation, it throws a <CLASS DOES NOT EXIST> error. However, recompiling the same class works as expected.

I understand this happens because the class hasn’t been fully compiled yet during the first pass. To overcome this issue, are there any specific callback methods available that can safely be used after the class is fully compiled?

Why This Matters

Managing IAM can be tedious when done manually — especially when your APIs are already well-documented using OpenAPI (Swagger) specs. Wouldn't it be great if you could automatically generate Kong services and routes directly from your OpenAPI spec?

That's exactly what this ObjectScript method does: it reads an OpenAPI 2.0 spec stored in the XData block of your spec class and generates a decK-compatible YAML file that can be used to sync your IAM configuration.

As part of a recent documentation technical project to optimize the search, I needed to use Embedded Python in my ObjectScript code. The main blocker was passing a Python list from a Python class method to a ObjectScript method. Sending the list by reference to the python method, populating it with the Insert() method, and returning the reference to the ObjectScript method resulted in an list with type %SYS.Python, a process that was straightforward but not efficient.
