Has anyone tried the Ansible module for qlist in the article "Ansible modules and IRIS demo"?

There appears to be a bug in the qlist code as it assumes that the qlist output has an undocumented field.

I do not have the undocumented field in the output.when I run qlist so I keep getting the error "Unexpected IRIS qlist output format".

I assume that in most cases there is no undocumented field in the output.

Working on wrapping an IRIS Cache ObjectScript method that runs for a few seconds. Trying to get UI updates to show BEFORE the method runs in an async/await function. But it seems to be running synchronously rather than asynchronously . So my question is does IRIS/ObjectScript CSP pages support futures with JavaScript or does it run all synchronously.

In IRIS, every time a request need to be processed, a specific IRIS process (IRISDB.EXE) need to be assigned to handle that request.

If there is no spare IRIS process at that time, process will need to be created (and later destroyed). On some Windows systems (especially with security/antimalware solutions being active) creating new processes can be slow, which can results in delays during peak times (due to inrush of requests).

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..) ?

I have created a New Database/Namespace within our TEST environment on both the Primary and Backup of the mirror. When I go to create the database/namespace on the DR node I am getting "Cannot open file '/ensemble/TEST/iris.cpf_...." while the cpf file that it references does not exist. Anyone have any clue to why this might be happening?

Hi Community,

I've created a method in my File Service to do a cleanup for every file load. Currently, I've set it to delete data when LastUpdated date is greater than maxdate. However, I want to do a cleanup for every new file load. Any suggestions or advice on how to do this? Thanks!

Hey folks! Having recently onboarded to InterSystems, I realized that despite having a totally free and awesome Community Edition, it's not super clear how to get it. I decided to write up a guide highlighting all the different ways you can access the Community Edition of InterSystems IRIS:

Get InterSystems IRIS Community Edition as a Container

Working with a containerized instance of the Community Edition is the recommended approach for folks who are new to developing on InterSystems IRIS, and in my opinion it's the most straightforward. InterSystems IRIS Community Edition can be found on DockerHub; if you have an InterSystems SSO account, you can also find it in the InterSystems Container Registry.

In either case, you'll want to pull the image you want using the docker CLI:

docker pull intersystems/iris-community:latest-em
// or
docker pull containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/iris-community:latest-em

Next, you'll need to start the container: In order to interact with IRIS from outside the container (for example, to use the management portal) you'll need to publish some ports. The following command will run the IRIS Community Edition container with the superserver and web server ports published; note that you can't have anything else running that depends on ports 1972 or 52773!

docker run --name iris -d --publish 1972:1972 --publish 52773:52773 intersystems/iris-community:latest-em

It appears as though command history is not available via up/down arrow keyboard keys when using the SQL Shell. Is there anything in the works to change that?

Also, typing the colon character (:) as the first character after the prompt in Terminal Lite does odd things in 2025.1.1 ... every keystroke starting with the colon is echoed back and pressing Enter generates an error:

Hello there 🙋‍♂️,

I'm looking towards a functionality alike Python's difflib, but made with Intersystems products. I already know could embed Python code within IRIS but thought maybe there was a development already done for handling deltas, with a different approach or extra utils.

Even if I find such a library after comparing both might still go with difflib or any other more suitable. Intend to use it for a cross-environment checklist/check tool.

Please find below a sample of HTML rendering computed and made with difflib, with a few lines of code:
