Welcome to the Q4’2024 quarterly platforms update. I hope that your 2024 has been incredible and that 2025 is even better. If you’re new to these updates, welcome! This update aims to share recent changes as well as our best current knowledge on upcoming changes, but predicting the future is tricky business and this shouldn’t be considered a committed roadmap. With that said, on to the update… InterSystems IRIS Production Operating Systems and CPU Architectures Red Hat Enterprise Linux Previous Updates We’ve completed minor OS certification for RHEL 9.4 & 8.10 on IRIS 2024.1 without incident. Upcoming Changes The next major update for RHEL will be RHEL 10 which is expected in Q2 of 2025. Short-term-supported 9.5 & 8.11 were released earlier this month, and we’ve started minor OS certification on IRIS 2024.1. Further reading: RHEL Release Page Ubuntu Previous Updates We’ve completed minor OS certification for Ubuntu 22.04.3 on IRIS 2024.1 without incident Upcoming Changes We’re currently doing minor OS certification on Ubuntu 24.04.1. So far, so good. Further Reading: Ubuntu Releases Page SUSE Linux Previous Updates SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP6 was released in May. The release notes can be found here. General Support from SUSE for Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP3 came to an end on 12/31/2022, but extended security support will continue until December, 2025. Further Reading: SUSE lifecycle Oracle Linux No updates Further Reading: Oracle Linux Support Policy Microsoft Windows Recent Changes Windows Server 2025 was released earlier this month and we’ve begun the process of adding support for the platform. Upcoming Changes Microsoft has pushed back the anticipated release date for Windows 12 to sometime in 2025. We’ll start the process of supporting the new OS after it’s been released. Further Reading: Microsoft Lifecycle AIX Recent Changes IRIS 2024.3 and up will only support OpenSSL 3. NOTE: This means that 2024.2 is the last version of IRIS that has both OpenSSL 1 and OpenSSL 3 kits. In IRIS 2023.3, 2024.1, & 2024.2, we provided two separate IRIS kits – one that supports OpenSSL 1 and one that supports OpenSSL 3. Given the importance of OpenSSL 3 for overall system security, we’ve heard from many of you that you’ve already moved to OpenSSL 3. Further Reading: AIX Lifecycle Containers Previous Updates We changed the container base image from Ubuntu 22.04 to Ubuntu 24.04 with IRIS 2024.2 We’re considering changes to the default IRIS container to, by default, have internal traffic (ECP, Mirroring, etc) on a different port from potentially externally facing traffic (ODBC, JDBC, etc). If you have needs in this area, please reach out and let me know. InterSystems IRIS Development Operating Systems and CPU Architectures MacOS Upcoming Changes Apple has released MacOS 15 and we are planning support for it in IRIS 2025.1 InterSystems Components Previous Updates InterSystems API Manager 2.8.4.11 & 3.4.3.11 have been released. If you’re using IAM, please upgrade soon. InterSystems Reports 24.1 has been released. Caché & Ensemble Production Operating Systems and CPU Architectures Previous Updates A reminder that the final Caché & Ensemble maintenance releases are scheduled for Q1-2027, which is coming up sooner than you think.

Interoperability of systems ensures smooth workflow and management of data in today's connected digital world. InterSystems IRIS extends interoperability a notch higher with its Embedded Python feature, which lets developers seamlessly integrate Python scripts into the IRIS components, like services, operations, and custom functions. Why Embedded Python in IRIS?Embedded Python brings the flexibility of Python into the powerful world of InterSystems IRIS and provides the following: Access to Python Libraries: Leverage popular libraries such as pandas, NumPy, and requests for advanced data processing.Ease of Use: Python simplifies the implementation of complex logic.Efficient Interoperability: Develop services, operations, and transformations directly within IRIS, reducing the need for external tools.Below is the code I tried to implement for a python business operation: from iris import irisnative class SamplePythonOperation: def on_message(self, request): # Connect to IRIS conn = irisnative.createConnection("localhost", 1972, "USER", "_SYSTEM", "SYS") iris_obj = irisnative.createIRIS(conn) # Log the request message iris_obj.set("Received: " + request.get("MessageText"), "MyApp", "Log") # Process the request response = "Hello, " + request.get("MessageText") return {"Result": response} Embedded Python in InterSystems IRIS allows developers to leverage the flexibility of Python with the robustness of IRIS for interoperability solutions. In transforming data, building APIs, or integrating external systems, traditional expectations are that Embedded Python is a revolution for modern applications. Use Embedded Python today, and discover new avenues of seamless interoperability! wow, nice article, can you provide more information about how you register this python class into a production ? for the more, can you tell me what is the difference between embedded python and irisnative, i'm a bit confused. Thanks! Yes I can tell you that. For registering a class into a production, Navigate to Interoperability > Productions. Open or create a new production. Add a new Business Operation. Select the Python Adapter. In the Settings, specify your Python class name The adapter will invoke the method of the Python class whenever the operation receives input.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ And the difference between them is- Embedded Python runs natively within InterSystems IRIS, allowing you to build and integrate IRIS components like services or operations directly using Python. In contrast, irisnative is an external Python library for connecting to and interacting with an IRIS database from outside the IRIS environment, such as standalone scripts or external applications. Thanks, but i can't find the Python Adapter do you mean EnsLib.PEX.BusinessOperation or IOP.BusinessOperation. Next if Embedded Python runs natively on iris, why i have to declare a connection as you mention in your example ? Does this work best ? from iop import BusinessOperation class HelloWorld(BusinessOperation): def on_message(self, request): self.log_info("Hello World") Yes, You're right. Sorry for the confusion. By saying Python adapter, I meant EnsLib.PEX.BusinessOperation and also you're perfectly correct about the declaration too. irisnative is unnecessary for local interactions. I'm just trying things on iris so don't take me for an expert😄. Your code is correct and I would like to add that - 'from EnsLib.PEX import BusinessOperation' would be the best.

In the previous article. Practices of class members and their execution within embedded Python. We will now turn our attention to the process of switching namespaces, accessing global variables , traversing and routine executions within embedded Python. Before proceeding to the other functions. let us briefly review the execute function within the iris package. This function is exceptionally beneficial for executing the arbitrary ObjectScript functions and class invocation. >>> b = iris.execute('return $Piece("test^aaaa","^",2)')>>> b'aaaa'>>> b = iris.execute('return $Extract("123456",2,5)')>>> b'2345'>>> b = iris.execute('return $Length(123456)')>>> iris.execute('write ##Class(%SYSTEM.SYS).NameSpace()')LEARNING>>>>>> b = iris.execute('return ##Class(%SYSTEM.SYS).NameSpace()')>>> b'LEARNING' Let us begin! 4. Switch Namespaces Switching namespaces during execution is often necessary. However, unlike in IRIS, direct switching of namespaces within embedded Python is not feasible. Therefore, it is essential to utilize existing class definitions or to create a wrapper method to facilitate the switching of namespaces. ClassMethod SwitchNM() [ Language = python ] { import iris print(iris.cls('%SYSTEM.SYS').NameSpace()) print(iris.system.Process.SetNamespace("USER")) try: iris.cls('User.EmbeddedPython').pyGetTemplateString() except RuntimeError as e: print("Wrong NameSpace",e) } 5. Global To utilize the capabilities of global for data traversal or to retrieve information from legacy global systems directly, rather than through SQL or objects within embedded Python, one can access it directly by employing the gref function from the iris package. To set or get global values, the gref function can be utilized to establish a reference to the global variable and directly assign values within Python. iris.gref class gref(builtins.object) | InterSystems IRIS global reference object. | Use the iris.gref() method to obtain a reference to a global | | Methods defined here: | | __delitem__(self, key, /) | Delete self[key]. | | __getitem__(self, key, /) | Return self[key]. | | __len__(self, /) | Return len(self). | | __repr__(self, /) | Return repr(self). | | __setitem__(self, key, value, /) | Set self[key] to value. | | __str__(self, /) | Return str(self). | | data(self, key) | Given the keys of a global as a list, returns the state of that. | Example: x = g.data([i,j]) sets x to 0,1,10,11 0-if undefined, 1-defined, 10-undefined but has descendants, 11-has value and descendants | | get(self, key) | Given the keys of a global as a list, returns the value stored at that node of the global. | Example: x = g.get([i,j]) sets x to the value stored at key i,j of global g. | | getAsBytes(self, key) | Given the keys of a global as a list, returns a string stored at that node of the global, as bytes. | Example: x = g.getAsBytes([i,j]) sets x to the value stored at key i,j of global g, as bytes. | | keys(self, key) | Traverses a global starting at the specified key, returning each key in the global. | Example: for key in g.keys([i, j]) traverses g from key i,j, returning each key in turn. Optional second argumenent 1 or -1, if -1 reverses the returned order | | kill(self, key) | Given the keys of a global as a list, kills that node of the global and its subtree. | Example: g.kill([i,j]) kills the node stored at key i,j of global g and any descendants. | | order(self, key) | Given the keys of a global as a list, returns the next key of the global, optional second argument 1 or -1, if -1 returns the previous key. | Example: j = g.order([i,j]) sets j to the next second-level key of global g. | | orderiter(self, key) | Traverses a global starting at the specified key, returning the next key and value as a tuple. | Example: for (key, value) in g.orderiter([i,j]) traverses g from key i,j, returning the next key and value. Optional second argumenent 1 or -1, if -1 reverses the returned order. | | query(self, key) | Traverses a global starting at the specified key, returning each key and value as a tuple. | Example: for (key, value) in g.query([i,j]) traverses g from key i,j, returning each key and value in turn. Optional second argumenent 1 or -1, if -1 reverses the returned order. | | set(self, key, value) | Given the keys of a global as a list, sets the value stored at that key of the global. | Example: g.set([i,j], 10) sets the value of the node at key i,j of global g to 10 | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Static methods defined here: | | __new__(*args, **kwargs) from builtins.type | Create and return a new object. See help(type) for accurate signature. 5.1 Set global values ClassMethod SetGlobal() [ Language = python ] { import iris #create a global reference g = iris.gref('^mygbl') g[1],g[2]='Mon','Tue' g["95752455",1]=iris.execute('return $LFS("Ashok,55720,9639639639,test@gmail.com",",")') g["85752400",1]=iris.execute('return $LB("Test","9517539635","t@gmail.com")') g["test","c1"]=iris.execute('return ##Class(MyLearn.EmbeddedPython).executeAndGetResult()') # method wil return some listbuild values # declare values by using set function g.set([3],'Wed') g.set([3,1,1],'Test multilevel') } 5.2 get global valuesFetch the global values from python directly by using the subscripts or get method. ClassMethod GetGlobal() [ Language = python ] { import iris #gets a global reference g = iris.gref('^mybgl') # get values print(g[3,1,1]) print(g.get([2,1])) print(g["95752455",1]) } 5.3 Traversal order - Traversing the global is essential for collecting multiple level of data's from global. This embedded Python order functions similarly to the $Order command, utilizing the order function from the iris.gref. Initially, it is necessary to establish a reference to the global entity that requires traversal. Single subscript level traversal ClassMethod DollarOrder() [ Language = python ] { import iris g = iris.gref('^MyLearn.EmbeddedPythonD') # I use my persistent class global key = '' while True: key = g.order([key]) if key == None: break print(f'{key} {g.get([key])}') } Multi subscript level traversal global zw ^mygbl^mygbl(1)="Mon"^mygbl(2)="Tue"^mygbl(3)="Wed"^mygbl(3,1,1)="Test multilevel"^mygbl(85752400,1)=$lb("Test","9517539635","t@gmail.com")^mygbl(95752455,1)=$lb("Ashok","55720","9639639639","test@gmail.com")^mygbl("test","c1")=$lb("Test","8527538521","pylearn@gmail.com") ClassMethod DollarOrderMultiLevel() [ Language = python ] { import iris g = iris.gref('^mygbl') key1= '' while True: key1 = g.order([key1]) if key1== None: break key2 = '' while True: key2 = g.order([key1,key2]) if key2 == None: break value = g.get([key1,key2]) print(key1,key2,value) } query - query function from the iris.gref similarly $query. This function is collects all the global values in to tuples. the tuple result contains the id(s) in list and values is the next tuple. You can refer the below tuple sample tuple ex: zw ^mybgl^mybgl(1)="Mon"^mybgl(2)="Tue"^mybgl(3)="Wed"^mybgl(3,1,1)="Test multilevel"^mybgl(95752455,1)=$lb("Ashok","55720","9639639639","test@gmail.com") Python tuple : ( [ids], data)(['1'], 'Mon')(['2'], 'Tue')(['3'], 'Wed')(['3', '1', '1'], 'Test multilevel')(['95752455', '1'], '\x07\x01Ashok\x07\x0155720\x0c\x019639639639\x10\x01test@gmail.com') ClassMethod DollarQuery() [ Language = python ] { import iris g = iris.gref('^mygbl') key = g.query()#this will return tuples of all the subscripts for x in key: print(x) # output (['3', '1', '1'], 'Test multilevel') } data - this data function Check whether the given subscript is exist in the global and return the $data values by using the data function ClassMethod DollarData() [ Language = python ] { import iris g = iris.gref('^mygbl') key1= '' print(g.data([1])) } 6. Routines Furthermore, it is essential to implement the class members. We must execute the routines as part of the implementation for legacy codebase systems and other related situations. Consequently, there exists a dedicated function within the iris library package that allows for the invocation of routines from embedded python through the use of the routine function. myirispython.mac myirispython w 123 qir1 w "running ir1" qadd(p1,p2) public{return p1+p2}sub(p1,p2) s c= p1-p2 ClassMethod RunRoutines() [ Language = python ] { import iris iris.routine('^myirispython') iris.routine('add^myirispython',1,2) # same as write $$add^myirispython(1,2) } Additionally, you can execute the routine by using execute function as well. iris.execute('do ^myirispython') note: If the routine is not found >>> iris.routine('^myirispythonT')Traceback (most recent call last): File "<input>", line 1, in <module>RuntimeError: Routine not found Will continue the other topics in the next article. Great articles. Thanks for sharing. Why are you using Language Tag and not "pure" python script ? It's so much convient to work with native python script than python code in cls classes. Hello @Guillaume.Rongier7183 Thanks for the feedback! I go over your pretty useful article. I just write python code inside the ObjectScript itself by using language mode because of it's small code snippets. I actually facing some issues while writing IRIS in native python script. From my pervious community question. First I install this intersystems_irispython-3.2.0-py3-none-any.whl in python and there is no cls, execute, routine, gref, ref or other IRIS script functions available. As you recommend from the post. I install the official driver https://github.com/intersystems-community/intersystems-irispython/releases/download/3.8.0/intersystems_iris-3.8.0-py3-none-any.whl file and I could use the IRIS functions for embedded python cls, execute, routine, gref, ref etc... However, I got this ImportError: DLL load failed while importing pythonint: The specified module could not be found." error while executing the .py scripterror while executing my script script is nothing but simple class method invocation. import iris def Execute_Classmethod(): print(iris.cls('MyLearn.EmbeddedPython').test1()) Execute_Classmethod() anyway when I keep my native python scripts under "IRISinstalldirectory\mgr\python" and import my code as module and it's working because it's running inside the IRIS not using the python "driver" ClassMethod CallPyscripts() { set ap = "mypyap" set pyImport = ##class(%SYS.Python).Import(ap) set builtin = $SYSTEM.Python.Builtins() do builtin.help(pyImport) write pyImport.irisversion,! write pyImport."Execute_Classmethod1"() } #__init__.py import iris from .irisembdpyth2024 import * irisversion = iris.execute('return $zv') # irisembdpyth2024.py file import iris def Execute_Classmethod1(): print(iris.cls('MyLearn.EmbeddedPython').test1()) Hello Ashok, this is a great article, thanks for sharing it! However, I would like to ask how to create an oref using a property index. For example, considering the class: Class User.Test Extends %Persistent { Property Code As %String(MAXLEN = 50) [ Required ]; Index CodeIdx On CodeIdx [ Unique ]; } In ObjectScript I can use the following syntax to open the oref using its ID: set obj = ##class(User.Test).CodeIdxOpen(ID) In the same way I can use the CodeIdxDelete or CodeIdxExists as well. I was wondering how to obtain the same result in Embedded Python. Hello @Pietro.DiLeo AFAIK, There is no direct execution of the IndexKeyOpen and other generated methods in python. We can write a wrapper method to run those methods. Class pylearn.NewClass2 Extends %Persistent { Property Code As %String(MAXLEN = 50) [ Required ]; Index CodeIdx On Code [ Unique ]; ClassMethod RunCode() [ Language = python ] { import iris iris_obj = iris.cls(__name__).GeObjByIdx("CodeIdx","A212") print(iris_obj.Code) } ClassMethod GeObjByIdx(IndexName, ID) { Return $ClassMethod(,IndexName_"Open",ID) } } Thanks for the clarification Ashok! I solved in a similar way. It would be good in a future version to have the possibility of executing generated methods too.

Here’s our Q2’2024 quarterly platforms update. If you’re new to these updates, welcome! This update aims to share recent changes as well as our best current knowledge on upcoming changes, but predicting the future is tricky business and this shouldn’t be considered a committed roadmap. With that said, on to the update… InterSystems IRIS Production Operating Systems and CPU Architectures Red Hat Enterprise Linux Recent Changes Red Hat threw a lifeline to customers struggling to upgrade from RHEL 7 by announcing 4 years of Extended Life Cycle Support starting July 1, 2024. Upcoming Changes We expect Red Hat to release RHEL 9.4 & 8.10 any day now. Once these minor OS changes are released, we’ll begin minor OS certification for them on IRIS 2024.1. The next major update for RHEL will be RHEL 10 which is expected in Q2 of 2025. Further reading: RHEL Release Page Ubuntu Recent Changes Support for Ubuntu 24.04 was added in IRIS 2024.1.0.267.2 on May 15, less than three weeks after Ubuntu 24.04 was released. Now that Ubuntu 24.04 is available, IRIS 2024.1 will be the last major version that supports Ubuntu 20.04. IRIS 2024.2 will only be available for Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04. Further Reading: Ubuntu Releases Page SUSE Linux Upcoming Changes SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP6 is expected late Q2 or early Q3. Details of what’s included are still emerging. Previous Updates Minor OS certification has been completed for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP5 without problems. SP5 includes Linux Kernel 5.14.21, OpenSSL 3.0.8, and Python 3.11. General Support from SUSE for Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP3 came to an end on 12/31/2022, but extended security support will continue until December, 2025. Further Reading: SUSE lifecycle Oracle Linux Previous Updates Oracle Linux 9.2 has completed Minor OS certification on IRIS 2023.1 without incident. Further Reading: Oracle Linux Support Policy Microsoft Windows Upcoming Changes Windows Server 2025 is expected to be released in Q4. We’re keeping an eye on it and formulating plans for support. Windows 12 is expected even earlier with a possible GA date as early as June. We’ll start the process of supporting the new OS after it’s been released. Further Reading: Microsoft Lifecycle AIX Upcoming Changes We’re planning to only support OpenSSL 3 kits starting with IRIS 2025.1. In IRIS 2023.3 & 2024.1, we provided two separate IRIS kits – one that supports OpenSSL 1 and one that supports OpenSSL 3. Given the importance of OpenSSL 3 for overall system security, we’ve heard from many of you that you’ve already moved to OpenSSL 3. If you have concerns about this, please reach out to me directly. Previous Updates Minor OS Certification has been completed for AIX 7.2 TL5-06 on IRIS 2023.1. Further Reading: AIX Lifecycle Containers Upcoming Changes We are planning to change the base container image from Ubuntu 22.04 to Ubuntu 24.04 with IRIS 2024.2 We’re considering changes to the default IRIS container to, by default, have internal traffic (ECP, Mirroring, etc) on a different port from potentially externally facing traffic (ODBC, JDBC, etc). If you have needs in this area, please reach out and let me know. Previous Updates We have started regular updates of IRIS containers with patches to the base container image and third-party dependencies. IRIS containers that follow the new tagging scheme now have at least every-other-week updates. Minimum Supported CPU Models To repeat the reminder from Q1’s platforms update, we announced that InterSystems IRIS 2024.1+ has a minimum required CPU functionality standard for Intel/AMD-based systems. This allows IRIS to rely on certain CPU instruction extensions, such as AVX & BMI, that will result in significantly better performance of certain operations. For more information, please see my InterSystems IRIS Minimum Supported CPU Models developer community post. InterSystems IRIS Development Operating Systems and CPU Architectures MacOS Previous Updates Apple has released MacOS 14 with IRIS support in IRIS 2024.1 InterSystems Components Previous Updates InterSystems Kubernetes Operator (IKO) 3.7 has been released. InterSystems API Manager (IAM) 3.4 has also been released. Caché & Ensemble Production Operating Systems and CPU Architectures Previous Updates Cache 2018.1.9 was released on February 14. There are only 3 more maintenance releases of Caché & Ensemble planned. See Jeff’s excellent community article for more info. InterSystems Supported Platforms Documentation The InterSystems Supported Platforms documentation is the definitive source information on supported technologies. IRIS 2024.1 Supported Server Platforms IRIS 2023.1 Supported Server Platforms IRIS 2022.1 Supported Server Platforms Caché & Ensemble 2018.1 Supported Server Platforms … and that’s all folks. Again, if there’s something more that you’d like to know about, please let us know.

Hi Developers! We're sure you want your ideas from the Ideas Portal to be implemented, so here are some steps you can take to attract attention to them. To promote your idea, you can: 1. Create a post on the Developer Community about your idea, inviting users to vote for it on the Ideas Portal. For example, @Heloisa.Paiva wrote an article "About the idea of Using Python Class Definition Syntax to create IRIS classes" mentioning "use Python Class Definition Syntax to create IRIS classes" by @Sylvain.Guilbaud. 2. Request the creation of a poll on the Ideas Portal dedicated to the implementation of the idea. @Guillaume.Rongier7183 requested such a poll about his idea idea "Dark version of InterSystems Community". To request a poll, write a direct message to @Vadim.Aniskin. 3. Respond to comments about your idea on the Ideas Portal and on the Developer Community. These three steps will attract attention to your idea and increase the odds of its implementation. Good luck and keep your ideas coming!

On 4 December 2024, System Alerting and Monitoring (SAM) will be removed from the InterSystems download sites, the container registry, and documentation site. InterSystems announced last year that it has ceased further development of SAM and simultaneously labelled it as deprecated. InterSystems will continue to support existing customers using the technology in the same manner as product versions beyond the Minimum Supported Version window. Intersystems has found that most customers who are interested in the type of observability provided by SAM have chosen to connect the InterSystems IRIS metrics API and structured logging to their organization’s existing observability platform to have a more complete view of their operational platform. If you have questions about your current or planned use of SAM, please reach out to your account team or dbpprodmgrs@intersystems.com.

Hi, Community! Are you using InterSystems Cloud Services? Take a tour of the central hub for managing your services and deployments: InterSystems Cloud Services Portal Overview In this video, you will see how to: Perform tasks such as account registration. Monitor billing and security settings.

InterSystems introduced this feature many years ago and a time when using Public Key Infrastructure was not yet widely used. Creating materials for use with Public Key Infrastructure is now widely available, and InterSystems is observing a decline in using the InterSystems PKI. In addition, investments would be required to securely use it. The IRIS PKI documentation stated for years: The InterSystems PKI is for testing purposes only. Do not use it in a production setting. As of today March 26, 2024, the InterSystems PKI is now deprecated. The product documentation has been updated and now states: Implementation of InterSystems PKI is deprecated. It may be removed from future versions of InterSystems products. The following documentation is provided as reference for existing users only. InterSystems urges users to discontinue use of the PKI features.
