Triggered by a question placed by @Kurro Lopez recently I took a closer look at the indexing of collections. My simple test setup is a serial class and a persistent class with a list of this serial.
Preview releases are now available for the 2020.4 version of InterSystems IRIS, IRIS for Health and IRIS Studio. As this is a preview release, we are eager to learn from your experiences with this new release ahead of its General Availability next month.
Recently we released the updated version 0.1.3 of ObjectScript Package Manager (ZPM) which comes with the support of simplified ObjectScript sources folder structure.
What 'simplified' does mean?
Before 0.1.3 ZPM expected the following structure:
/src
---/cls - for ObjectScript classes
---/cls/package_name/class_name.cls
---/cls/package_name/class_name2.cls
---/mac - or Mac ObjectScript routines
---/mac/package_name/mac_routine.mac
---/mac/package_name/mac_routine2.mac
---/inc - for ObjectScript macro include files.
---/inc/package_name/include_file.inc
Many of you publish your InterSystems ObjectScript libraries on Open Exchange and Github.
But what do you do to ease the usage and collaboration to your project for developers?
In this article, I want to introduce the way how to introduce an easy way to launch and contribute to any ObjectScript project just by copying a standard set of files to your repository.
The Command extension enables the execution of Multi-Line Commands from Terminal prompt.
Terminal Multi-Line Input with Edit, Insert, Delete, Print extension for IRIS and Caché IRIS and Caché have just single command lines in terminal available This Multi-Line Commands Editor also will execute the Multi-line Commands. In addition, it is independent of access to %SYS and can be installed in any namespace
Special thanks to @Jeffrey Drumm who inspired me to this and supported me as beta-tester.
Moving over from Studio To VSCode like many other will do now the ObjectScript plugin reached version 1.0, I noticed I was missing some items in the objectscript explorer. For example when creating a Rest API using the spec first approach, 3 classes are generated, an application.impl, application.disp and application.spec class, but the disp class was missing in the Object Explorer.
As the application.disp is a generated class, for showing these classes you need to turn this on by hitting the switch on the object explorer:
If you need write your organization Data Architecture and map to the InterSystems IRIS, consider following Data Architecture Diagram and references to the intersystems iris documentation, see:
InterSystems has recently completed a performance and scalability benchmark of IRIS for Health 2020.1, focusing on HL7 version 2 interoperability. This article describes the observed throughput for various workloads, and also provides general configuration and sizing guidelines for systems where IRIS for Health is used as an interoperability engine for HL7v2 messaging.
Standard error logs in IRIS / Caché / Ensemble are written global ^ERRORS. As this piece dates back some decades back to previous millennium its structure is far from the typical SQL storage structures.
There's been quite a bit of discussion lately in this forum on the tools available in IRIS for using both XML and JSON, and debate on cross-conversion between the two formats.
InterSystems has identified an issue with product distributions containing Certificate Authority certificates that expire at the end of 2020. This issue does not affect system operation or system security in any way, although it does generate alerts about expiring certificates in the cconsole.log or messages.log files.
Every day Johns Hopkins University publishes new data on coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic status.
I built a simple InterSystems IRIS Analytics dashboard using InterSystems IRIS Community Edition in docker deployed on GCP Kubernetes which shows key measures of the disease outbreak.
This dashboard is an example of how information from CSV could be analyzed with IRIS Analytics and deployed to GCP Kubernetes in a form of InterSystems IRIS Community Edition.
I've been trying to figure out how to use an ObjectScript class to search other classes for specific strings. To be very specific, I want to be able to search business rules to see if a particular DTL is in the rule. We have some orphaned DTL's in our Ensemble productions and I want to make sure that they're not being used.
While the integrity of Caché and InterSystems IRIS databases is completely protected from the consequences of system failure, physical storage devices do fail in ways that corrupt the data they store. For that reason, many sites choose to run regular database integrity checks, particularly in coordination with backups to validate that a given backup could be relied upon in a disaster.
Does anyone has any idea on how to send an encrypted / secure Print from IRIS ( which is hosted on AWS ) to a printer ( which is an on-premise device ).
Hi all,
By using VS code, I want to copy multiple files to local directory, then sync them to server, but I can't find where local directory is stored?
In Atelier IDE, I could open a view of server and can copy the code to the project, then code is saved in the local directory. When I copy multiple files to the local directory -> choose sync in Atelier -> the code will be synchronized to the server
How to do this from VS Code?
Thanks!
One of the leading benefits of ObjectScript is the speed and efficiency it allows for an experienced developer. Let's look at an example of how you can benefit from ObjectScript today.
Suppose you have a class that stores the names of your users. We'll call the class Data.User, and give it a string property Name. Next, we will need a method to create a new user or update an existing one. A naive, simplistic approach might look like this example:
