I use the following code to loop trough all globals :

Hello community,

How to install the iris package installer for Python (pip) in python and import iris package in python source code.

import iris
class Solution():
    iris.connection()

thanks!

This story has followed me for more than 20 years.

In the early days of ObjectScript, the volume of $Functions was limited.
You had to write it as part of your program.
But the functionality was often implemented. It just had no name.
To use it, you had "system" calls using $ZU() functions.

Temporary globals stored in the IRISTEMP/CACHETEMP databases are used when a process does not need to store data indefinitely, but requires the powerful performance of globals. The IRISTEMP/CACHETEMP databases are not journaled, so using temporary globals does not create journal files.

The system uses the IRISTEMP/CACHETEMP databases for temporary storage and are available to users for the same.

Hello,

I just installed the IRIS 2024 version 2 and it doesn't have Cache Studio. Doesn't anyone know how to add Cache Studio in the IRIS 2024 version 2 or did I install the wrong one? Thank you for your help in advance.

The first developer preview of InterSystems IRIS 2024.3 and InterSystems IRIS for Health 2024.3 has been posted to the WRC dev

Hi Guys

How do get the item name of a class? I have several items derived from the same class, and for error reporting I want to get the name of the item which created it, rather than the class it is derived from from.

e.g. InPhase.LEGACY.GetUpdateNotification, InPhase.LFPSE.GetUpdateNotification and InPhase.ADHOC.GetUpdateNotification are all derived from the same class InPhase.Services.LoadInPhaseUpdates

Two big changes for the TestCoverage open source tool: Embedded Python support, and a new UI

Embedded Python

Previously, TestCoverage could only track unit test coverage for code written in ObjectScript. It would ignore code written in other languages like Python in the coverage statistics.

Hi,

Can we write message in the messages.log file ?

Thanks

Hello Community,

This article aims to walk you through the process of setting up and utilizing the Flexible Python Runtime Feature for embedded Python. Prior to version 2024.2, Intersystems IRIS installer included a preinstalled version of Python, You can find the Python libraries and application files located in the \lib\python directory within your IRIS installation folder (for example, C:\InterSystems\IRIS20242\lib\python).

Hello all,

On one of my team's systems, we utilize a business operation with the EnsLib.SQL.OutboundAdapter to make SQL queries to another IRIS system using JDBC. To authenticate the connection, we utilize a user account on the target system.

Currently we are exploring how we can allocate additional disk space to our current environment as we have seen a significant increase in growth of our Database files. Currently we have 3 namespaces, all with 1 IRIS.dat each that contains both the Global and Routines.

Since we have started down the route of everything within a single IRIS.dat file for each namespace, is it logical as we see growth to be able to split the current IRIS.dat for each namespace into a separate IRIS.dat for global and a IRIS.dat with for routines for each namespace in a Mirror environment?
