I decided to write this down before time wiped out my memory It's a very personal story as a partner, as a competitor, as an employee, as a customer and finally as an external observer of InterSystems.
60% of my topics are covered by developer sessions and the other 40% I will reach using 1:1 meetings, tech exchange and focus groups. I know, it is not possible stay at all sessions, but I will to try 30-40% of sessions. See it:
I'm in the process of setting up InterSystems IRIS for HealthShare with database mirroring, and I’d appreciate some guidance around how to handle an existing ODBC connection in this new setup.
Before we start with some intermediate and advanced topics, I would like to sum up some more general points. They are subjective, of course, so I will be happy to discuss them if you have other opinion or better arguments for any of them.
The list is not comprehensive and this is intended, cause I will cover some topics in future articles.

For 15 over years I have been playing with ways to speed up the way I use InterSystems systems and technology via AutoHotkey scripting. As a power keyboard user (I avoid my mouse when possible) I found it very helpful to set up hotkeys to get to my most frequently accessed systems and research utilities as quickly as possible. While I have used this approach for many years, this is the first time that I am introducing my approach and a customer-facing hotkey script to the D.C. and OEx...
We're excited to announce the first-ever UI update for CCR Client Tools. The Client Tools UI has been upgraded to match the modern CCR UI, aiming to create a more seamless experience across both applications. The color scheme, fonts, and style elements have all been updated accordingly in the new UI:
I'm currently testing out IRIS 2024.3 for a new project, and it's been running smooth for the most part. However, I noticed that when running some heavier analytical queries, the memory usage spikes more than I expected, even when result sets aren’t that large.
I’ve gone through the basics (buffer sizes, query plans, etc.), but I’m wondering if there are any new tweaks or recommended settings in 2024.3 specifically for managing memory better during these peak loads.
Anyone else run into something similar or have tips to fine-tune this?
You can learn a lot from a first impression; we want to hear about yours.
As a continuation of our User Insights Interview program (see this post for more details), we’re expanding our scope to include Python developers, particularly those of you who are new to working with InterSystems technology. We’re looking to conduct one-on-one interviews to hear your honest thoughts about getting started: What made sense, what didn’t, and where we could improve.
“Instruqt is useful for interactive tutorials where we are sharing specific use cases of our technology with our customers, partners and developers around the world... It's such a powerful way to show our customers and partners how easy InterSystems technology is to use.” - Dean Andrews

CCR users can now take advantage of an enhanced syntax for substituting pre-defined tokens with live URL links within phase-related text fields. In addition to the existing <env> token which automatically updates to reflect the Environment of the relevant CCR Record, CCR now introduces three new keywords: <smp> , <smpPrefix> , and <homepage>.
Let's go with the last article on how to record yourselves for the Article Contest video bonus.
I'm not going to go into how to do very specific things in editing because it varies depending on the program you use. The keyboard shortcuts and menus are different, but the concept is the same. You are going to use a programme to organise the recorded material, remove the excess and give it structure. Many of these softwares are free (Capcut, Canva and if I'm not mistaken DaVinci had a free version). I've been editing with Adobe Premiere for almost ten years now (wow, I'm getting old), so if you have any questions about this software, feel free to write to me.

TLS, the successor to SSL, stands for Transport Layer Security and provides security (i.e. encryption and authentication) over a TCP/IP connection. If you have ever noticed the "s" on "https" URLs, you have recognized an HTTP connection "secured" by SSL/TLS. In the past, only login/authorization pages on the web would use TLS, but in today's hostile internet environment, best practice indicates that we should secure all connections with TLS.
