InterSystems IRIS Adaptive Analytics version 2025.4.1 is now available from the InterSystems Software Distribution page. This release includes AtScale 2025.4.1 and is compatible with the existing Adaptive Analytics User-Defined Aggregate Function (UDAF) file - 2024.1. New features included in AtSCale's 2025 releases include:

Mirror Your Database Across the Galaxy with Seeding

Hello cpf fans! This distraction I used the "seed" capability in IRIS to provision an entire IrisCluster mirror, 4 maps wide with compute starting from an IRIS.DAT in a galaxy far far away. This is pretty powerful if you have had a great deal of success with a solution running on a monolithic implementation and want it to scale to the outer rim with Kubernetes and the InterSystems Kubernetes Operator. Even though my midichlorian count is admittely low, I have seen some hardcore CACHE hackers shovel around DATS, compact and shrink and update their ZROUTINES, so this same approach could also be helpful shrinking and securing your containerized workload too. If you squint and feel all living things around you, you can see a glimpse of in place (logical) mirroring in the future as a function of the operator and a migration path to a fully operational mirrored Death Star as the workload matures.

Over time, while I was working with Interoperability on the IRIS Data Platform, I developed rules for organizing a project code into packages and classes. That is what is called a Naming Convention, usually. In this topic, I want to organize and share these rules. I hope it can be helpful for somebody.

For example, I'm creating a customer at front end interface. I want to list down all the routines and child sub routines that are called at backend in mumps/cache. What's the best way to do it?

Yes, that's right, a Cache 2017.1 question. Let's all take a trip in the Wayback Machine.

Hi All,

First I want give a Shout Out to @Theo Stolker and @Rupert Young. Because they helped me with the solution.

Hi everyone,

I'm dealing with a situation where LOAD DATA operations — especially large batches with data inconsistencies — are consuming a lot of disk space. I've noticed that the same error messages are being repeatedly logged in the %SQL_Diag.Result and %SQL_Diag.Message tables, which is significantly increasing the size of the database.

One idea was to move these diagnostic tables to a separate database with a configured size limit, but before going down that path, I'd like to ask:

Environment:
Targeted *.inc file (with hundreds of defined macros) is in use throughout the application and included into every class declaration.
Statement "set a = $$$TestIf(3)" is included into a classmethod with no other code in. Expected output 5
Same macro options in *.inc:
#define TestIf(%arr) if %arr>0 QUIT 5
#define TestIf(%arr) if (%arr>0) {QUIT 5}
Issue:
failure to compile class with the same error on all tried definition options as:

InterSystems IRIS Community Edition HAOS Add-On

Run InterSystems IRIS inside of Home Assistant, as an add-on. Before you dismiss this article possibly under the guise that this is just a gimmick, Id like you to step back and take a look at how easy it is to launch IRIS based applications using this platform. If you look at Open Exchange, you will see dozens of dozens of applications worthy of launching while they are basically hung out to dry as gitware, and launchable if you want to get into a laptop battle with containerd or Docker. With a simple git repo, and a specification, you can now build your app on IRIS, and make it launchable through a marketplace with limited hassle to your end users. Run it along side Ollama and the LLM/LAM implementations, expose anything in IRIS as a sensor or expose an endpoint for interaction in your IRIS app to interact with anything you've connected to HAOS. Wanna restart an IRIS production with a flick of a physical switch or Assisted AI? You can do it with this add-on, or your own, right alongside the home automation hackers.
