Hi There, I have Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2019 installed and tried to setup the entity framework as per Using Entity Framework with InterSystems IRIS Data Platform (https://learning.intersystems.com/course/view.php?id=1046) tutorial but I can't see the ISC data source in MS Visual Studio's Data source section. Does this mean that MS VS Community 2019 is not supported with the Entity Frmawork? Hassan Hello @MohamedHassan.Anver, I think that the tutorial is for EF 6 that is designed for .NET Framework. And MS is not promoting more EF Framework, right now, MS has EF core as goal (check this: https://docs.microsoft.com/es-es/ef/efcore-and-ef6/ ) and is the right EF to go in my opinion. However IRIS is not supporting EF Core https://community.intersystems.com/post/how-can-i-use-iris-net-core-entity-framework. :-( Any thought @Robert.Kuszewski ? Thank you @David.Reche for the reply. I wish IRIS would release support for EF Core in the near future. For now we will develop our app based on IRIS and EF.

Hi Community, The new video from Global Summit 2019 is already on InterSystems Developers YouTube: ⏯ In-Place InterSystems IRIS Conversions This video provides more detail about the process of converting an existing installation of a Caché/Ensemble-based application to InterSystems IRIS. We will give an overview of the process and do a live demonstration of converting a mirrored deployment. Takeaway: Caché and Ensemble can co-exist with InterSystems IRIS, which makes it easier to do in-place conversions. Presenter: @Andreas.Dieckow, Principal Product Manager, InterSystems Additional materials to this video you can find in this InterSystems Online Learning Course. If you would like to explore a wider range of topics related to this presentation, please use the Resource Guides below: Roadmaps (Ours and Yours) Resource Guide - 2019 Enjoy watching this video! Stay tuned! 👍🏼

In 2017, Forbes published an article talking about API Economy (see: https://www.forbes.com/sites/louiscolumbus/2017/01/29/2017-is-quickly-becoming-the-year-of-the-api-economy/). This article was the trigger to popularize the use of API and API Management by large companies. The article published a maturity model. My understanding is that Intersystems IRIS allows you to reach the top of the pyramid with your current technologies. See the figure above.For this it is important to combine % CSP.REST package, IRIS API Manager (IAM), ML Pack and IntegratedML, Native API for Python, BPL and interoperability adapters.

Hi Developers! Here in Developers Community, we have posts, which are categorized by tags. Tags - are specific topics, which relate to InterSystems products, InterSystems services, or any concept related to software development, deployment, or maintenance etc. Tag is a helpful thing because it gives the option to follow/subscribe to the tag, filter the search by the tag, understand how popular or not unpopular the topic and more. And we have a problem! Actually two problems. The tags for the post are selected by the author of the post, and we have the following issues: the author chooses wrong tags for a post, and the post lacks proper tags. And we think this problem could be solved with AI/ML approach and so we suggest you solve it during the InterSystems IRIS AI Contest. Here is the posts-and-tags repository, which uses the Python Gateway template, which contains two classes: Community.Post and Community.Tag. Clone it or Fork it and run: $ docker compose up -d and it will build an InterSystems IRIS image and will load these two classes along with data from Post and Tag globals. Community. Post class contains the data on all the developer community posts with fields: Name - for the post title, Text - for the post text, Tags - for the comma-separated list of tags. You can get the data with the following SQL query: select top 20 * from Community.post order by id desc And you can get posts which have the particular tag with the query: SELECT * FROM Community.Post WHERE ($LISTFIND($ListfromString(Tags,','),'Contest')>0) ORDER BY ID DESC Community.Tag class contains tags and its descriptions. The task Find the optimal set of tags, for every post which matches the text of the post. Two hypotheses how this could be solved: 1. Find a matching tag for the post upon the tag description. Every tag has a description, which could match the title and content of the post. 2. Find proper tags considering that the majority of choices from authors are the right choices. So if text similar to some post, it can have similar tags. Looks like a typical data categorization problem, right? Also, it would be great to introduce new tags which we probably missed but we have posts which could be represented by these tags. I'm not a data scientist so probably this problem can be solved with some professional approach. Maybe iKnow - InterSystems NLP engine can be used here too. Anyway: we have the problem, we have the data, and possibly we could find a solution using InterSystems IRIS. We are looking forward to see your solutions! Great! I was working on a webcrawler to take the posts... now we have the data =) Hi! Exploring the tables, the post table has this Column HasCorrectAnswer. Do you have the replies of each post too? Would be useful to explore these data and compliment my classificators.

What is Selective Build? Selective Build is a BI feature in InterSystems IRIS (introduced in version 2020.1). Selective Build allows you to build specific elements of your cube while keeping your cube online. What is special about Selective Build? Before getting into the details of Selective Build, a brief recap of the different phases during a regular cube build is important. Here are the phases in a regular cube build:1) Delete existing data in cube2) Populate cube with full set of data3) Build all indices in the cube Now that we are familiar with how a normal build works, we can understand the benefits of Selective Build. During a regular build, the cube must be offline since the first step is to delete the existing cube data and then populate the full cube again. This is not the case with Selective Build. Selective build takes only the specified cube elements offline and updates the data for these specific elements. This means that existing data is not deleted. Since existing data is not deleted, the cube does not need to be offline. The elements being built will be offline, which means if a user tries to query against these offline elements, they will see an error message. When should this be used? Selective Build is a great way to deploy updates to a cube model without needing to take the cube offline for extended periods of time. Depending on the size of the cube, it can take hours or even days to fully build the cube. Having the cube offline for an extended period of time to add a new dimension does not encourage frequent updates to the model. How is it used? From UI In Architect, any modified elements will automatically be kept track of. When you try and build your cube from the UI, the dialog box will give you the option to use Selective Build by default. This default selection also has any modified elements automatically selected. If you prefer to build the entire cube by using a regular build, this option can be selected. Build Cube API A new parameter was added to the Build Cube API. This new parameter is described as follows from the documentation: "pFactList is a list of specific Property names in the cube's fact class. If pFactList is supplied, the build will only update the columns listed in that fact list. This list can have either comma-delimited or $LB format. The specific facts being updated will be individually marked as unavailable for queries and queries referencing dimensions based on those facts will throw an error on prepare." I expect that the UI is used while actively developing modifications to a cube and the API is used while deploying changes to a different system. To learn more about Selective Build, please see the documentation.

Preview releases are now available for the first version (v1.0) of InterSystems System Alerting and Monitoring (InterSystems SAM for short). InterSystems SAM v1.0 provides a modern monitoring solution for InterSystems IRIS-based products. It allows high-level views of clusters and single-node drilled down metrics-visualization together with alerts notifications. This first version provides visualization for more than one hundred InterSystems IRIS kernel metrics, and users can extend the default-supplied Grafana template to their liking. V1.0 is meant to be a simple and intuitive baseline. Please help us make it great by trying it and sending us feedback! SAM can display information from InterSystems-based instance starting with version 2019.4 SAM is only available in container format. You will need the SAM Manager container plus a small set of additional open-source components (Prometheus and Grafana) that are added automatically by the composition file. SAM components and the SAM Manager Community Edition are available from The WRC Preview page: as “SAM Components” and “SAM Manager” Externally at the SAM components Github repo & the SAM Manager on Docker Hub if you want to download it before the docker-compose runs (this last link might not be available for few hours but the container is pullable) If you are traveling or prefer a voice-based Q&A description on what SAM is, here is a podcast we have prepared for you: SAM documentation can be found here. im having an issue generating a new cluster; any tips? Hi Max, Did you untar the tarball with the "p" flag as well? It is there to preserve the correct privileges. I think that might be your issue. see $ tar zpxvf sam-<version>.tar.gz Let me know
