InterSystems announces its third developer preview, as part of the developer preview program for the 2023.1 release. Many updates and enhancements have been added in 2023.1 and there are also brand-new capabilities, such as production-ready support for Columnar Storage, ability to use Bulk FHIR, and support to MacOS 13 Ventura. Some of these features or improvements may not be available in this current developer preview.

Future preview releases are expected to be updated biweekly and we will add features as they are ready. Please share your feedback through the Developer Community so we can build a better product together.

Documentation can be found at these links below. They will be updated over the next few weeks until launch is officially announced (General Availability - GA):

In addition, check out this link for upgrade information related to this release.

As usual, Extended Maintenance (EM) releases come with classic installation packages for all supported platforms, as well as container images in Docker container format. For a complete list, refer to the Supported Platforms document.

Installation packages and preview keys are available from the WRC's preview download site or through the evaluation services website (use the flag "Show Preview Software" to get access to the 2023.1).

Container images for both Enterprise and Community Editions of InterSystems IRIS and IRIS for Health and all corresponding components are available from the new InterSystems Container Registry web interface. For additional information about docker commands, please see this post: Announcing the InterSystems Container Registry web user interface.

The build number for this developer preview release is 2023.1.0.207.0.

For a full list of the available images, please refer to the ICR documentation. Alternatively, tarball versions of all container images are available via the WRC's preview download site.

This seems to include a new Rule Editor, but I'm unable to get past the authentication page it displays after I use my usual pathway from Portal (Interoperability > Build > Business Rules).

I have logged WRC 972106 about this (though WRC Online doesn't yet offer 2023.1 as a version choice).

Hi John, not sure what is up with the Rule Editor, but for the WRC you need to select a product that has Preview at the end of the name, like: InterSystems IRIS Preview, then 2023.1 is an option.

Hi Brendan, at https://wrc.intersystems.com/wrc/endusernewprob2.csp the Product dropdown I get doesn't include any Preview entries.

By doing a second install using Normal level security, then comparing webapp settings, I have tracked down the cause of my problem.

My install was a Minimal security one, after which I changed the settings of the /csp/sys web app and its sub-apps /csp/sys/* by clearing the Unauthenticated checkbox and setting the Password one.

But it seems that unless I do the same for the /api/interop-editors webapp I get a Rule Editor authentication page which I am unable to get past, not even by entering the credentials of the same %All-role user I logged into /csp/sys (i.e. Portal) with.

As soon as I made the change to /api/interop-editors I was able to get into the new Rule Editor, seeing only a brief flash of its authentication paged.

Here are the tweaked Minimal-security settings that work for me (i.e. authentication required to access Portal, from where I can move without challenge into the new Rule Editor):

I've upgraded my small test project https://github.com/andreas5588/openflights_dataset from 2022.2.0.368.0 to IRIS 2023.1.0.207.0 and I've discovered that the SQL execution time was much slower than expected.
Within this project I load the data using "LOAD DATA FROM FILE" sql statement and it looks like that this is taking up the time.
A "docker-compose build" with IRIS 2022.2.0.368.0 took about about 17 seconds on my machine, the same with IRIS 2023.1.0.207.0 took 300 seconds!
The image with IRIS 2022.2.0.368.0 is 2.87Gb and the image file with IRIS 2023.1.0.207.0 image is 3.21Gb.

This is the only change I've made https://github.com/andreas5588/openflights_dataset

Any idea whats going on?

I'm not sure what the reason is but with 2023.1 there are some errors in %SQL_Diag.Result when loading data from my datasets. The errors are different from 2022.3.
After changing some columns in my data model from NOT NULLABLE to NULLABLE the errors are gone and the performance with IRIS 2023.1 is the same as with 2022.3
