I bet that not everyone familiar with InterSystems Caché knows about Studio extensions for working with the source code. You can actually use the Studio to create your own type of source code, compile it into interpretable (INT) and object code, and sometimes even add code completion support. That is, theoretically, you can make the Studio support any programming language that will be executed by the DBMS just as well as Caché ObjectScript. In this article, I will give you a simple example of writing programs in Caché Studio using a language that resembles JavaScript. If you are interested, please read along. If you go to the SAMPLES namespace, you will find an example of working with user-defined file types. The example suggests opening a document of the “Example User Document (.tst)” type, and there is only one file of this type called TestRoutine.TST, which, in fact, is generated on the go. The class required for working with this file type is called Studio.ExampleDocument. Let’s not get into this example too deeply and create our own instead. The ".JS" file type is already being used in the Studio and JavaScript that we want to support is not exactly the original JavaScript. Let’s call it CacheJavaScript and the file type will be ".CJS". To start off, create a %CJS.StudioRoutines class as a subclass of the %Studio.AbstractDocument class and add the support of the new file type to it.
/// The extension name, this can be a comma separated list of extensions if this class supports more than one
Projection RegisterExtension As %Projection.StudioDocument(DocumentDescription = "CachéJavaScript Routine", DocumentExtension = "cjs", DocumentIcon = 1, DocumentType = "JS");
DocumentDescription — displayed as the type description in the open file window in the list of filters;DocumentExtension — the extension of the files that will be processed by this class;DocumentIcon — the icon number starts from zero; the following icons are available: DocumentType — this type will be used for code and error highlighting; the following types are available:INT — Cache Object Script INT codeMAC — Cache Object Script MAC codeINC — Cache Object Script macro includeCSP — Cache Server PageCSR — Cache Server RuleJS — JavaScript codeCSS — HTML Style SheetXML — XML documentXSL — XML transformXSD — XML schemaMVB — Multivalue Basic mvb codeMVI — Multivalue Basic mvi code
We will now implement all the necessary methods for supporting the new source code type in the Studio.
ListExecute and ListFetch methods are used for obtaining a list of files available in the namespace and for showing them in the open file dialogue.
ClassMethod ListExecute(ByRef qHandle As %Binary, Directory As %String, Flat As %Boolean, System As %Boolean) As %Status
{
Set qHandle=$listbuild(Directory,Flat,System,"")
Quit $$$OK
}
ClassMethod ListFetch(ByRef qHandle As %Binary, ByRef Row As %List, ByRef AtEnd As %Integer = 0) As %Status [ PlaceAfter = ListExecute ]
{
Set Row="",AtEnd=0
If qHandle="" Set AtEnd=1 Quit $$$OK
If $list(qHandle)'=""||($list(qHandle,4)=1) Set AtEnd=1 Quit $$$OK
set AtEnd=1
Set rtnName=$listget(qHandle,5)
For {
Set rtnName=$order(^rCJS(rtnName)) Quit:rtnName=""
continue:$get(^rCJS(rtnName,«LANG»))'=«CJS»
set timeStamp=$zdatetime($get(^rCJS(rtnName,0)),3)
set size=+$get(^rCJS(rtnName,0,«SIZE»))
Set Row=$listbuild(rtnName_".cjs",timeStamp,size,"")
set AtEnd=0
set $list(qHandle,5)=rtnName
Quit
}
Quit $$$OK
}
We will store the description of the programs in the ^rCJS global, and the ListFetch method will traverse this global to return strings containing the following: name, date, and size of the found file. In order for the results of being displayed in the dialogue, you need to create an Exists method that checks whether a file with such a name exists.
/// Return 1 if the routine 'name' exists and 0 if it does not.
ClassMethod Exists(name As %String) As %Boolean
{
Set rtnName = $piece(name,".",1,$length(name,".")-1)
Set rtnNameExt = $piece(name,".",$length(name,"."))
Quit $data(^rCJS(rtnName))&&($get(^rCJS(rtnName,«LANG»))=$zconvert(rtnNameExt,«U»))
}
The TimeStamp will return the date and time of the program. The result is also shown in the file open dialogue.
/// Return the timestamp of routine 'name' in %TimeStamp format. This is used to determine if the routine has
/// been updated on the server and so needs reloading from Studio. So the format should be $zdatetime($horolog,3),
/// or "" if the routine does not exist.
ClassMethod TimeStamp(name As %String) As %TimeStamp
{
Set rtnName = $piece(name,".",1,$length(name,".")-1)
Set timeStamp=$zdatetime($get(^rCJS(rtnName,0)),3)
Quit timeStamp
}
We will now need to load the program and save the changes in the file. The text of the program, line by line, is stored in the same ^rCJS global.
/// Load the routine in Name into the stream Code
Method Load() As %Status
{
set source=..Code
do source.Clear()
set pCodeGN=$name(^rCJS(..ShortName,0))
for pLine=1:1:$get(@pCodeGN@(0),0) {
do source.WriteLine(@pCodeGN@(pLine))
}
do source.Rewind()
Quit $$$OK
}
/// Save the routine stored in Code
Method Save() As %Status
{
set pCodeGN=$name(^rCJS(..ShortName,0))
kill @pCodeGN
set @pCodeGN=$ztimestamp
Set ..Code.LineTerminator=$char(13,10)
set source=..Code
do source.Rewind()
WHILE '(source.AtEnd) {
set pCodeLine=source.ReadLine()
set @pCodeGN@($increment(@pCodeGN@(0)))=pCodeLine
}
set @pCodeGN@(«SIZE»)=..Code.Size
Quit $$$OK
}
Here comes the most interesting part: compilation of our program. We will compile into INT code and therefore have full compatibility with Caché. This article is just an example, which is why I used just a small fraction of the capabilities of CachéJavaScript: declaration of variables (var), reading (read), and data output (println).
/// CompileDocument is called when the document is to be compiled
/// It has already called the source control hooks at this point
Method CompileDocument(ByRef qstruct As %String) As %Status
{
Write !,«Compile: „,..Name
Set compiledCode=##class(%Routine).%OpenId(..ShortName_“.INT»)
Set compiledCode.Generated=1
do compiledCode.Clear()
do compiledCode.WriteLine(" ;generated at "_$zdatetime($ztimestamp,3))
do ..GenerateIntCode(compiledCode)
do compiledCode.%Save()
do compiledCode.Compile()
Quit $$$OK
}
Method GenerateIntCode(aCode) [ Internal ]
{
set varMatcher=##class(%Regex.Matcher).%New("[ \t]*(var[ \t]+)?(\w[\w\d]*)[ \t]*(\=[ \t]*(.*))?")
set printlnMatcher=##class(%Regex.Matcher).%New("[ \t]*(?:console\.log|println)\(([^\)]+)\)?")
set readMatcher=##class(%Regex.Matcher).%New("[ \t]*read\((.*)\,(.*)\)")
set source=..Code
do source.Rewind()
while 'source.AtEnd {
set tLine=source.ReadLine()
set pos=1
while $locate(tLine,"(([^\'\""\;\r\n]|[\'\""][^\'\""]*[\'\""])+)",pos,pos,tCode) {
set tPos=1
if $zstrip(tCode,"*W")="" {
do aCode.WriteLine(tCode)
continue
}
if varMatcher.Match(tCode) {
set varName=varMatcher.Group(2)
if varMatcher.Group(1)'="" {
do aCode.WriteLine($char(9)_«new „_varName)
}
if varMatcher.Group(3)'=“» {
set expr=varMatcher.Group(4)
set expr=..Expression(expr)
do:expr'="" aCode.WriteLine($char(9)_«set „_varName_“ = „_expr)
}
continue
} elseif printlnMatcher.Match(tCode) {
set expr=printlnMatcher.Group(1)
set expr=..Expression(expr)
do:expr'=“» aCode.WriteLine($char(9)_«Write „_expr_“,!»)
} elseif readMatcher.Match(tCode) {
set expr=readMatcher.Group(1)
set expr=..Expression(expr)
set var=readMatcher.Group(2)
do:expr'="" aCode.WriteLine($char(9)_«read „_expr_“,»_var_",!")
}
}
}
}
ClassMethod Expression(tExpr) As %String
{
set matchers($increment(matchers),«matcher»)="(?sm)([^\'\""]*)\+[ \t]*(?:\""([^\""]*)\""|\'([^\']*)\')([^\'\""]*)"
set matchers(matchers,«replacement»)="$1_""$2$3""$4"
set matchers($increment(matchers),«matcher»)="(?sm)([^\'\""]*)(?:\""([^\""]*)\""|\'([^\']*)\')[ \t]*\+([^\'\""]*)"
set matchers(matchers,«replacement»)="$1""$2$3""_$4"
set matchers($increment(matchers),«matcher»)="(?sm)([^\'\""]*)(?:\""([^\""]*)\""|\'([^\']*)\')([^\'\""]*)"
set matchers(matchers,«replacement»)="$1""$2$3""$4"
set tResult=tExpr
for i=1:1:matchers {
set matcher=##class(%Regex.Matcher).%New(matchers(i,«matcher»))
set replacement=$get(matchers(i,«replacement»))
set matcher.Text=tResult
set tResult=matcher.ReplaceAll(replacement)
}
quit tResult
}
You can view the generated INT code for each compiled program or class. To do that, you will need to write a GetOther method. It’s pretty simple — its purpose is to return a comma-delimited list of programs that were generated for the source code.
/// Return other document types that this is related to.
/// Passed a name and you return a comma separated list of the other documents it is related to
/// or "" if it is not related to anything. Note that this can be passed a document of another type
/// for example if your 'test.XXX' document creates a 'test.INT' routine then it will also be called
/// with 'test.INT' so you can return 'test.XXX' to complete the cycle.
ClassMethod GetOther(Name As %String) As %String
{
Set rtnName = $piece(Name,".",1,$length(Name,".")-1)_".INT"
Quit:##class(%Routine).%ExistsId(rtnName) rtnName
Quit ""
}
We implemented a method of blocking a program so that just one developer at a time could edit a program or class on the server.
Don’t forget about writing a method for deleting programs.
/// Delete the routine 'name' which includes the routine extension
ClassMethod Delete(name As %String) As %Status
{
Set rtnName = $piece(name,".",1,$length(name,".")-1)
Kill ^rCJS(rtnName)
Quit $$$OK
}
/// Lock the current routine, default method just unlocks the ^rCJS global with the name of the routine.
/// If it fails then return a status code of the error, otherwise return $$$OK
Method Lock(flags As %String) As %Status
{
Lock +^rCJS(..Name):0 Else Quit $$$ERROR($$$CanNotLockRoutine,..Name)
Quit $$$OK
}
/// Unlock the current routine, default method just unlocks the ^rCJS global with the name of the routine
Method Unlock(flags As %String) As %Status
{
Lock -^rCJS(..Name)
Quit $$$OK
}
All right, we have written a class that allows us to work with our type of programs. However, we cannot write such a program just yet. Let’s fix it. The Studio enables you to define templates and there are 3 ways of doing it: a simple CSP file of a particular format, a CSP class inherited from the %CSP.StudioTemplateSuper class, and, finally, a ZEN page inherited from %ZEN.Template.studioTemplate. In our case, we will use the last option for simplicity. Templates can be of 3 types as well: for creating new objects, just code templates, and add-ins, which generate no output. In our case, we will need a template for creating new objects. Let’s make a new class called %CJS.RoutineWizard. Its content is pretty simple – you will need to describe a field for entering the program’s name, then describe the name of the new program and its mandatory content for the Studio in the %OnTemplateAction method.
/// Studio Template:
/// Create a new Cache JavaScript Routine.
Class %CJS.RoutineWizard Extends %ZEN.Template.studioTemplate [ StorageStrategy = "" ]
{
Parameter TEMPLATENAME = "Cache JavaScript";
Parameter TEMPLATETITLE = "Cache JavaScript";
Parameter TEMPLATEDESCRIPTION = "Create a new Cache JavaScript routine.";
Parameter TEMPLATETYPE = "CJS";
/// What type of template.
Parameter TEMPLATEMODE = "new";
/// If this is a TEMPLATEMODE="new" then this is the name of the tab
/// in Studio this template is dispayed on. If none specified then
/// it displays on 'Custom' tab.
Parameter TEMPLATEGROUP As STRING;
/// This XML block defines the contents of the body pane of this Studio Template.
XData templateBody [ XMLNamespace = "http://www.intersystems.com/zen" ]
{
}
/// Provide contents of description component.
Method %GetDescHTML(pSeed As %String) As %Status
{
Quit $$$OK
}
/// This is called when the template is first displayed;
/// This provides a chance to set focus etc.
ClientMethod onstartHandler() [ Language = javascript ]
{
// give focus to name
var ctrl = zenPage.getComponentById('ctrlRoutineName');
if (ctrl) {
ctrl.focus();
ctrl.select();
}
}
/// Validation handler for form built-into template.
ClientMethod formValidationHandler() [ Language = javascript ]
{
var rtnName = zenPage.getComponentById('ctrlRoutineName').getValue();
if ('' == rtnName) {
return false;
}
return true;
}
/// This method is called when the template is complete. Any
/// output to the principal device is returned to the Studio.
Method %OnTemplateAction() As %Status
{
Set tRoutineName = ..%GetValueByName("RoutineName")
Set %session.Data("Template","NAME") = tRoutineName_".CJS"
Write "// "_tRoutineName,!
Quit $$$OK
}
}
That’s it. You can now create your first program written in Caché JavaScript in the Studio.
Let’s call it “hello”.
The source code in CachéJavaScript can look like this, for example:
// hello
console.log('Hello World!');
var name='';
read('What is your name? ', name);
println('Hello ' + name + '!');
Let's save it.
After save and compile we will see that int code was generated compiled as well successfully, in the output:
Compilation started on 11/04/2018 12:57:00 with qualifiers 'ck-u'
Compile: hello.CJS
Compiling routine : hello.int
Compilation finished successfully in 0.034s.
Let's look at another source.
We can now run it in the terminal
USER>d ^hello
Hello World!
What is your name? daimor
Hello daimor!
This is how you can describe any language (to a certain extent, of course) that you like and use it to code the server-side business logic for the Caché/IRIS Data platform. There definitely will be problems with code highlighting if this language is not supported by the Studio. This example demonstrates the work with programs, but can definitely create Caché classes the same way. The possibilities are nearly limitless: you just need to write a lexical parser, a syntax parser, and a full-fledged compiler, then come up with the right mapping between all Caché system functions and specific constructs in the new language. Such programs can also be exported and imported with compilation, as it is done with any other programs in Caché.
Anyone willing to do it at home can download the source codes here in udl or xml. Just curious is anybody already uses such feature in their work or looking to use? The title looks "scary" )Dmitry, does your approach need Caché Studio only? Could it be used for Eclipse or Visual Studio Code? At this time, it is supported only with Studio. I can easily add support to VSCode, not sure how it will be possible for Eclipse Atelier. That's amazing, Dmitry. Thanks for the introduction.About the parts of lexical parser, syntax, parse, and full-fleged compiler.... how should that be done, and integrated into the framework once they are done? Oh, I missed them in your post. I think that is what you were referring in the method CompileDocument(). Alternatively you could use proper JavaScript via Node.js and the cache.node / iris.node interface :-)

Hello Community,
Thank you all for your continued feedback and support of our ad hoc reporting platform, VDM. There's been some questions around setting up a non-ODBC connection for InterSystems platforms. We published a new YouTube video showing the steps necessary to connect to InterSystems Caché and InterSystem IRIS with BridgeWorks VDM.
jQuery(document).ready(function ($){$("#youtubeNtH5w4AzmMY").css("height",$("#youtubeNtH5w4AzmMY").css("width").replace(/[^0-9]/gim,"")/(560/315));$(window).resize(function(){ $("#youtubeNtH5w4AzmMY").css("height",$("#youtubeNtH5w4AzmMY").css("width").replace(/[^0-9]/gim,"")/(560/315));});});

The 2019.4 versions of InterSystems IRIS, InterSystems IRIS for Health, and InterSystems IRIS Studio are now Generally Available!
These releases are available from the WRC Software Distribution site, with build number 2019.4.0.383.0.
InterSystems IRIS Data Platform 2019.4 has many new capabilities including:
New Automatic Configuration Customization
System security, performance, and efficiency enhancements including node tables
ICM support for Tencent Cloud
List Class available in the Native API for Java and .Net
Container and Cloud Deployment improvements
SQL enhancements
InterSystems IRIS for Health 2019.4 includes all of the enhancements of InterSystems IRIS. In addition, this release includes FHIR searching with chained parameters (including reverse chaining) and minor updates to FHIR and other health care protocols.
These are detailed in the documentation:
InterSystems IRIS 2019.4 documentation and release notes
InterSystems IRIS for Health 2019.4 documentation and release notes
InterSystems IRIS Studio 2019.4 is a standalone development image supported on Microsoft Windows. It works with InterSystems IRIS and InterSystems IRIS for Health version 2019.4 and below, as well as with Caché and Ensemble.
As this is a CD release it is only available in OCI (Open Container Initiative) a.k.a. Docker container format. The platforms on which this is supported for production and development are detailed in the Supported Platforms document. Hi Jeff!
Thanks! When the new release will be available on Docker Hub? These are now available!
docker pull store/intersystems/iris-community:2019.4.0.383.0
docker pull store/intersystems/irishealth-community:2019.4.0.383.0
Thanks, Steve! Hi Jeff,
Is there a distinct Health Connect build?
I'm upgrading from 2017.1
Kind regards,
Stephen
Hi Stephen -
Sorry for the slow response on this. We are not releasing the quarterly CD releases for Health Connect, so there isn't a 2019.4 available for it. The most recent version is 2019.1.1. But we'll have a 2020.1 out shortly (there's a preview available now if you want to work with it).
Since you are moving from 2017.1, you should be aware that the underlying technology has changed (from being based on Ensemble to being based on InterSystems IRIS) , so technically this is an in-place conversion. Please look at the in-place conversion guide ahead of your move, and if you follow the steps it should go quite smoothly.

Question
Saptarshi Sengupta · Jan 24, 2020
Intersystems use JReport as their reporting framework.
Are there any free version available for developers to try it out? If yes, can I avail the link?
Is there any free trial version for 'DeepSee'? if yes, can I avail the link?
Thanks in advance for your feedback. Logi JReport are currently available for operational reporting as part of InterSystems TrakCare. InterSystems IRIS Business Intelligence (aka "DeepSee") is available for all InterSystems products for data modeling, exploration and dashboarding. Evgeny pointed you to all the download information needed for that. JReport and InterSystems IRIS BI are complimentary as they provide different capabilities.
I am interested in hearing more about your operational reporting requirements. Download as by PRODUCTS / Download IRIS .Never heard of J-Report before. IRIS Analytics. (DeepSee) is included even in IRIS Community Version by default so you are welcome to try.
3 easiest ways to try:
1. download IRIS Community version as @Robert.Cemper1003 mentioned.
2. Launch Try IRIS instance
3. Docker pull the image
4. Run an instance of IRIS on a cloud you like: Azure, AWS, GCP.
You have IRIS Analytics with Community Edition but you probably want to try something working.
Samples BI is not included but could be installed.
The easiest way to install is to use ZPM.
Or even to launch a docker image with ZPM on board and install Samples-BI with one command.
Also, I can recommend trying AnalyzeThis by @Peter.Steiwer - it's a nice tool to generate a cube+pivot+dashboard vs arbitrary csv file.
HTH
Hi,
If you want to try J-Report, here is a link for the trial version:
https://www.jinfonet.com/product/download-jreport/For an OpenSource alternative, you can take a look at Jasper Reports Community Edition
https://community.jaspersoft.com/
I used to work with Jasper Reports to generate PDF reports for my customers. To connect to InterSystems IRIS, use the ODBC and voilá.
As mentioned by @Carmen.Logue , if you tell us your reporting requirements, that should be easier to discuss alternatives. Thank you very much. Yes JReport trial version does not help much as it is only last 14 days.
Regarding Jasper Report, did you install 'Jaspersoft Studio'? I want to work on JReport Designer,which uses JDBC... I mainly want to master JReport Designer, so I can develop/design report. Therefore, do you think, Jasper Studio would provide me similar environment? Any lead would be appreciated. Thanks. @the.alchemist
If you want to develop/design reports. Jasper Studios is what you looking for.
Free and simple Hi Henrique,
Does jasper reports run one time or is it real time.
What I intend to have is a real time report embedded in the zen page. not a pdf. i mean a downloaded pdf may be a plus, but not the endpoint
Any thoughts? Hi,
Jasper Reports will work just like Crystal Reports. It will generate PDF reports on demand.
But, you can take a look here: https://www.jaspersoft.com/downloadMaybe what you need it's more than the Jasper Studio. We (#Roche) will also be very interested in having JReport integrated with IRIS in order to generate pdf files given specific data (i.e.: a screen table, a patient test)
Question
Kevin Johnson · Sep 10, 2020
Hello there Community,
I am so pumped and curious about this platform.
The more I search about it, the more deeper it goes just as the maze.
I followed the following link https://community.intersystems.com/post/global-masters-advocate-hub-start-here and it took me to a page where i learnt more on what Global Masters is and also more about the Advocate Hub.
But then I came across an very confusing this named as the Global Masters Gamification Platform.
I was denied permission when i tried to access it. (Screen Shot has been attached.)
Well, my question is, are both the Global Masters and Global Masters Gamification Platform the same or are they two different platforms ?
If they are different I would like to know on how to gain access to it as well.
Hoping to hear soon from you all.
Regards. @Olga.Zavrazhnova2637 , it looks like we have a bad link at https://community.intersystems.com/post/global-masters-advocate-hub-start-here (leading to the certificate error shown).
@Kevin.Johnson3273 see https://intersystems.influitive.com/users/sign_in instead of the link in that article Hi Kevin, thank you for your question. Global Masters and Global Masters Gamification Platform are the same. @Timothy.Leavitt thank you! The link was broken indeed - already fixed it 👌 Good day to all! Hello @Kevin Johnson,
Answering to your question,
Yes, You are correct. Both are the same and has no difference. The only difference is that the way they have named it.
Both are the same.
#Good Day.
Question
Kranthi kumar Merugu · Nov 6, 2020
Hi Team,
What is the difference between Intersystems Cache DB and Intersystems IRIS ? I am looking for Cache DB installation details, but getting IRIS only everywhere. we are looking for a POC to test it.
Thanks,
Kranthi. The scope and the dimension of possibilities are much wider with IRIS than it was with Caché.Very generally speaking: There is nothing in Caché that you can't do with IRIS.The only thing you might miss eventually, are some ancient compatibility hooks back to the previous millennium. Also, support of some outdated operating system versions is gone In addition to what @Robert.Cemper1003 said InterSystems IRIS is much faster than Caché in SQL, it has officially released Docker images, it has IRIS Interoperability and IRIS BI is included and it has Community Edition which gives you the way to develop and evaluate your solution on IRIS which is less than 10GB without ordering a license.
And IRIS has a Package Manager ZPM which gives you a universal and robust way to deploy your solutions.
I would also add better JSON support with %JSON.Adapter (the lack of which currently causes a lot of struggle for us on the older version) Hi Kranthi,
I believe that you are just finding information about IRIS because it is something that is "in fashion". Part of Summit was about this, if you look at the developer community, basically just talk about it. In a way, we are almost unconsciously induced to migrate to IRIS. It is a fact that they have differences as friends have already commented, however, in general, it is more of the same. For differences between InterSystems CACHE and InterSystems IRIS Data Platform I suggest you have a look here.
Specifically you can find there a table comparing the products (including InterSystems Ensemble).
As well as a document going into detail about various new features and capabilities
If you want to perform a PoC for a new system definitely use InterSystems IRIS.
At a high level you can find the feature differences between Cache, Ensemble and IRIS here:

Andreas Dieckow · Oct 10, 2019
InterSystems is pleased to announce a new Developer Download site providing full kit versions of InterSystems IRIS Community Edition and InterSystems IRIS for Health Community Edition. These are available free of charge for application development use.
You can download directly from the InterSystems Developer Community by selecting Download InterSystems IRIS.
Those instances include a free built-in 13-month license. They are limited to 10GB of user data, will run on machines up to 8 cores, support 5 concurrent connections and are supported for application development. Available Platforms: RedHat, Ubuntu, SUSE, Windows and macOS.
InterSystems IRIS and InterSystems IRIS for Health are also available in container format from the Docker Hub.
Please check here for information on how to get started, visit the InterSystems IRIS Data Platform page and the InterSystems IRIS for Health page on our website to learn more about our products, and visit the Developer resource page to get deeper with development.
If you previously registered for an InterSystems Login account (e.g. for the Developer Community or WRC Direct), you can use those credentials to gain access to the Developer Download.
Why is there no Container option? Hi Angelo!
This is a very good question. But there are community versions in containers on docker:
image name are for InterSystems IRIS:
store/intersystems/iris-community:2019.3.0.309.0
and for InterSystems IRIS for Health:
store/intersystems/irishealth:2019.3.0.308.0-community
Check this template app to start using this immediately. Hi Evgeny,
thanks for informations, even though I already knew that, but there should be everything produced on the download site.
I second having the conatiners available in the same place.
Also could you show the version number available before downloading and are these production releases or previews? David,
Thanks for your feedback!
In general, Developer Download always makes available the latest GA version of our two Community Edition products. In this case we wanted to be able to launch by Global Summit and so we went with the Preview since 2019.1.1 kits were not full GA yet. There are ongoing discussions about the pros/cons of making containers available here rather than people just fetching them directly from Docker. We'll let you know the final decision! We will post container kits here as well. Those are released versions and not previews, that can be used for Development, but not for deployments. Thanks for the clarification.
The fact that the current download is slightly different from the norm due to a Global Summit launch does highlight the need for a brief explanation of the version you are downloading though. David - I completely agree. It's an excellent suggestion and we'll get it put in place. Hi David, thanks for this suggestion. File names that include full version strings are now visible prior to download. Thanks for adding that, in the case of a preview it might be worth adding this to the "Notes" section to save cross referencing with release notifications or the usual downloads page. I was just able to install IRIS on an Apple MacBook Pro, with Parallels and Windows 10 Pro. I installed the current FOIA VistA with about 8.2 GB of data. Everything worked good until getting to the Taskman and RPC Broker startup. This has always been an issue with the developer version from Intersystems. It's almost enough users to bring up Taskman. Not nearly enough to bring up Taskman and the RPC Broker.
It's great to have IRIS Studio. Everything seems just like Cache with a new name. Thanks Intersystems. David - FYI, the full Release Version of 2019.1.1 Community Editions is now available at Download.InterSystems.com I just installed the IRIS for Windows (x86-64) 2021.1 (Build 215U) Wed Jun 9 2021 12:15:53 EDT [Health:3.3.0] ... and the license key expires 10/30/2021. Where can I get a new license, or newer version? I read where it should be for 13 months. I could barely get started in 40 days...
ExpirationDate=10/30/2021

Evgeny Shvarov · Jul 28, 2019
Hi Developers!
Recently I was asked, “How can a beginner in InterSystems technologies learn from InterSystems Developers community content to improve his developer skills”?
This is a really good question. It has several answers so I decided to write the post with the hope it could be useful for developers.
So! How to learn Intersystems Data Platforms(IRIS, IRIS for Health) from InterSystems Developers community content if you are a beginner?
Beginner and Tutorial tags
First, it worth to check articles with Beginner tag and Tutorial tags.
Developers who write articles put these tags if they describe the basics or are the tutorials for some InterSystems IRIS features.
InterSystems Best Practices
Next, if you are looking for some serious stuff check the Best Practices tag. Every week InterSystems product management selects a new article and put Best Practices tag on it. So if you subscribe it you have a new InterSystems best practice every week.
Views and Votes
Another way to find helpful posts is to pay attention to what developers on community vote for and what developers read most. Indeed, if a developer finds the article helpful he votes up so we can consider that articles with the most of votes are the most useful. This is the filter of the most voted articles.
Also, the articles with most of the views could be considered useful too, cause not all the developers vote (and voting need the registration) but we count all the reads. So the articles with most of the views maybe not only are the most popular but also are useful.
And often the questions which have accepted answers could be very useful cause it is a solved problem. Same as with articles you can filter questions with accepted answers by votes and by views and hopefully find your answers but definitely is a helpful read.
Ask your questions!
And of course, the best way to learn and get the experience in technology is to practice with it, run into the problems and solve it. So, you’ll have questions during the process and don’t hesitate to ask your questions on InterSystems Developers - sometimes you’ll get the answers even before you end typing the question!
Resources for InterSystems Beginners
And of course, it worth to mention the general resources for developers-beginners in InterSystems data platforms. They are Documentation, Online Learning, Try InterSystems IRIS sandbox, classroom learning, InterSystems Developers Videos.
Developers, you are very welcome to submit other ways and advice on how to learn InterSystems Technology on Developer Community in the comments below.
