InterSystems is proud to announce another developer preview release, as part of the developer preview program for the 2022.3. Many updates and enhancements have been added in 2022.3 and there are also brand new capabilities, such as the new FHIR SQL Builder, improvements for Columnar Storage, and support to Oracle Linux 9 (not in this preview yet). 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. The build number for this developer preview release is 2022.3.0.545.0. As usual, CD 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 2022.3). Container images for the Enterprise Editions of InterSystems IRIS and IRIS for Health and all corresponding components are available from the InterSystems Container Registry using the following commands: docker pull containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/iris:2022.3.0.545.0 docker pull containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/irishealth:2022.3.0.545.0 docker pull containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/iris-arm64:2022.3.0.545.0 docker pull containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/irishealth-arm64:2022.3.0.545.0 Container images for the Community Editions can also be pulled from the InterSystems Container Registry using the following commands: docker pull containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/iris-community:2022.3.0.545.0 docker pull containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/irishealth-community:2022.3.0.545.0 docker pull containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/iris-community-arm64:2022.3.0.545.0 docker pull containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/irishealth-community-arm64:2022.3.0.545.0 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. IMPORTANT: As of 2022.2 releases, ARM and Intel platform containers are published under the same name. So on an Intel machine "docker pull containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/iris:1111.2.3.456.0" will return the intel image, on an ARM machine that same pull will return the ARM image automatically, without needing to have a special .../iris-arm image.

That's because they still do not support it that way.

We have put a new modern and responsive UI design on top of our existing product documentation. It is available in a public beta here: http://docs.intersystems.com/beta/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.FramePage.clsPlease review the new design and give us your feedback.Note: the Class Reference UI has not been updated and all product documentation content is the same as what's in production now. This looks much better. What about class reference? Looks nice! A few things to consider:- On MacOs Safari header text is white on white background- On small (mobile) screens there is a huge 230px right padding in .book class, page looks much better without it- On small screens, it's better to hide left menu by default and let user expand it with menu button, like https://material.angularjs.org does. Also it should overlap or shift main text, otherwise both are unreadable. On the initial page displayed if you click on any of the links such as the Improved SQL Processing Performance item it takes you to a link which eventually times out, looks like these are missing the 'beta' as the first part of their url: http://docs.intersystems.com/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.FramePage.cls?KEY=GCRN_rn1601#GCRN_rn1601_sql_performance Thank you. Last minute decision to deploy to docs.intersystems.com/beta vs. a completely different alias throws off those references which need to be relative to the root. We'll fix this on that landing page. Class reference styling will come soon, pending some debate on the usefulness and functionality of the class reference itself. Thanks for the feedback. I didn't see the large right padding on the iPhone or an Android tablet but maybe something changed. We'll check that out and the other comments. I didn't actually test it on a phone/tablet, just resized browser window. Maybe it's OK on mobile devices. Paul,First of all, thank you, it seems you have taken on a huge project here, I commend you for it.Now, two questions,1) Does it handle multiple searches like Google does. When I separate several words by a comma? And the comma indicating an "And" condition. ie: if I want to search for Cache AND Loops with search "Cache, Loops"2) When getting search results, would it be possible to put the results in a new Tab in explorer?Again, thank you. Thanks for posting this. I shall try and remember to use the link routinely for my exploration of the docs, as a way of testing the beta. Please don't remove class reference. We recognize there's a need for a class reference, so don't worry, it's not going away. The question is about functionality and completeness of the current class reference utility so there may be some refactoring in addition to changing the UI skin. There's some internal discussion about how it works and the way the information there is obtained. They'll be more on this in the next few weeks. can you introduce cookies (or something similar) to allow you to totally disregard any results in certain areas.for instance, I'm a small developer and so I do not use Ensemble, DeepSee, Iknow and so on.also if you are on window, prehaps you could filter out VMS, Unix etcnarrowing down searches fasst is often the clue to finding what you are really searching for.perhaps a filter with a series of tickboxes (defaults to everything)kevin Many times I need to get some link from documentation, to show particular part to someone. And some time it is quite difficult to get such link, and the worst place in Class References, where I can't get good link for a particular part of class.So, what I need is, an active icon with link, which then I can use, and for Class reference too.As an example github. Thanks for the feedback. Yes, we will add filtering capabilities to narrow your results. One aspect that has been lost in the transition is to have the Search Dialog always on the page. If you go to this page as an example http://docs.intersystems.com/beta/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.FramePage.cls?KEY=D2IMP_ch_dashboards#D2IMP_dashboard_embed in order to initiate a new search it appears I have toSelect this back button on the top left hand corner Scroll the left hand side menu, list of books to the very topPlace my cursor in the search field and enter a new search term.Whereas in the old system I could Press the [Home] key to be taken to the topEnter a new search term. I would vote to make the search box visible at all times. Just checking as I still see Technical Articles I assume if you add content to DOCBOOK this additional content will still be part of this new UI? Completely agree, and one of the first shortcomings I noticed. Search bar should ALWAYS be an option an any page, at any time. Yep, that's the first thing I noticed as well. I often go from one search to another and do not want to step back to the start each time. Search is probably the most important facility for me. (Thanks to interSystems for opening it up for comment, by the way.) Great idea. (I find SharePoint frustrating. All I want is a simple link to a folder in a library, but it's really hard to get.) Browsing (top-level) tree-view of topics is not possible when you've drilled into a section.Browse in left pane to a book and section to view. Clicking into that section brings you to the doc page, however it also restricts the tree-view in the left pane only to the current book. To further browse all docs, you need to go 'back' (which removes the doc you've been viewing!).I'd want the possibility to browse in the left pane to a new section without losing my view of the actual page in docs in the right pane. Often it is helpful to keep the view of the actual doc page while browsing to your next (related) topic. Thanks for the feedback. I'll see if we can do some kind of "copy link" icon at the book/section level to make it easier to reference a particular section of the content. Yes, this is using the same DOCBOOK content. We just put a different UI on top of it. Interesting observation, thanks. So if the user is looking at the contents of a book, but in the left pane chooses Back, leave that book content visible until they choose something else? It seems in page anchor links are broken. For example on the CSP Web Gateway Management Page: http://docs.intersystems.com/beta/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.FramePage.cls?KEY=GCGI_oper_configIn the secion "Event Log Level" there is a link to "Event Logging Parameters" (which would go to: http://docs.intersystems.com/beta/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.FramePage.cls?KEY=GCGI_oper_config#GCGI_config_parms_system_event However, that only takes you to the beginning of the page and not to the actual section (in the same page). Yes, exactly. Thanks.Preferably there is some smooth way of backtracing these bread crumb trails that are maintained in that left pane. Can the back button smoothly transition back to the higher level tree-view? Essentially as I drill down the high level view of the documentation books, can each section and subsection be displayed while leaving the highest level of books still within browsable view? I don't see why this concept of a 'book' needs to be restrictive against transparently browsing multiple topics among multiple books. Regarding the 'Search' functionality:1) Special symbols such as $ now are searchable (without specifically adding quotes) -- excellent, great improvement!!2) Searching WITH quotes fails to perform same search:Due to above, searching both $d and $data (without quotes) works correctly. Now notice the failure of the same search with quotes: "$d" (no $data results at all) and "$data" (appropriate result 17 items down).3) When the search query contains quotes, the summary at the top of the page fails to decode the special characters ("). For example searching "$data" will display at head of result page:Matches in text: 1 - 20 of 76 for "$data". (.00029s) 4) Following a link from the Search Results page doesn't allow for respecting the in-page 'Back' button. It's unclear if this is the intended use of 'Back'. By landing on a doc from search, using the 'Back' button does not return the user to the previously used page (the search results), but instead goes to a higher level in tree-view. The version of the documentation should be clearly displayed as there are differences between the respective versions (and not just in appearance). The ordering of the sidebar is confusing to the point that I find it distracting. I think its absolutely essential to be able to use similar syntax to google etc.example the use of minusSearchWord or phrase.it's just become so natural to start excluding words when you see topics within the results that are irrelevent.so I want to be search for able torest -deepsee -csp Given that you guys have opened the hood, while not specifically a DOCBOOK request, I would like to see https://www.chromium.org/tab-to-search be supported for DOCBBOOK content. As an example I'd like to when using Google Chrome be able to type docs.intersystems.com [tab] {SearchTerm} and have the page respond with a list of results based on {SearchTerm}I understand there may be issues with what version of DOCBOOK to show but it might be useful to just show results from the latest version. Just to clarify for people. We are not working to enhance DOCBOOK searching. You can use Google search today.. right now.. on our current documentation set via the community. This is an attempt to modernize the layout and look of what DOCBOOK presents once you have clicked a search result and displayed what you get. It's is not good idea, not all time and not everywhere I have an access to google, but I have an access to my installation, and I have to search on my local machine. And such search should be support browser's search engines. And then I could do something like this.with settingsBut Ensemble documentation, should provide their own search engine to install in my browser without any manual operations. As it possible to do with AddSearchProvider Nice UI, but improve the searches is a very good idea In browsers Chrome and Vivaldi you can add the new documentation as search engine:Open settings - search - add new search engineThe URL you need is: http://docs.intersystems.com/beta/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.SearchPageZen.cls?KeyWord=%sOnce you have done this you will be able to run docbook search from the searchbox in the upper right of your browser.

Hi! I believe the simplest is (to work with csv delimited by ";"): set file = ##class(%File).%New( "data.csv" ) set sc = file.Open( "R" ) if $$$ISERR(sc) quit ; or do smth while 'file.AtEnd { set str=file.ReadLine() for i=1:1:$length( str, ";" ) { set id=$piece( str, ";" ,i ) write !, id // or do smth } } do file.Close() Possible options: different variants of error handling with sc code. Embrace while loop into try/catch block. And what's yours? Ok, here is the "simplest"N IO,D,P,I,A,X,L S IO=$I R D U 0 W !,D,! S P="^" F U IO R A Q:A="" I $P(A,P,3) S L=$P(A,P,5) S:L X=$ZU(55,L) ZL ZS @$P(A,P) S:L X=$ZU(55,0) U 0 W !,$P(A,P,1,2),?20," loaded" ;(Self-loading) (Well, I'm joking - this is the standard preamble for self-loading INT file) This is MUMPS-Enigma code) I would generally advise against using %File class for reading files as this is a very low level wrapper around the COS file commands. For example if you want to apply a translate table you need to know about the 'K' flag on the open command. I much prefer using the %Stream.FileBinary or %Stream.FileCharacter classes as these provide a much more consistent interface to the file. Evgeny,Thank you for sharing this snippet.However, I don't understand why you de-piece a line with a delimiter of ";"?I would just like to see the line like it is.What am I missing here? You have missed the extension of file "data.csv" used in the example. CSV stands for "Comma Separated Values", which is simplest way to exportt Excel like data to the textual file. And in this case it was apparently exported in the Russian-loale where "comma" is ";" actually. Yes) Timur already answered. This snippet is not very general "read from file" snippet - but snippet to parse "russian-like" csvs) But every time when I work with text files line by line I use it. Thank you for that clarification, but, should that be part of the opening documentation? Didn't get it. You mean I should change the description for the snippet?Or to change the snippet to make it less "csv" specific? Just get rid of your inner for loop and you have a generic snippet that is helpful for everybody. The description doesn't speak of CSV files at all, though that may be an interesting use case as well. For CSV files, you can use the Record Mapper by the way:http://docs.intersystems.com/latest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=EGDV_recmap Sorry, I am not criticizing what you have done.I had to ask why you de-pieced the line based on ";"and I was given an answer.Suppose I did not ask, took your snippet and assumed to worked for all files?All I am saying is the assumption you used (Russian style files) should be part of your documentation so someone not familiar with these style of files would know. Any (unfamiliar) assumptions should be documented. Agreed. Will fix it. Anyway, you are very welcome to add your version of the simplest ever file management snippet ;) Stefan,Thanks for the tip on the Record Mapper, great stuff! Oh, thanks for this! I think it worth to make a separate snippet posting how to use the record mapper. Haven't found it in the documentation. And since Yesterday here is new fashion way to make links to documentation ;) maybe enigmic,but i think it's very convient and good-short! it's like my native tatarian tongue))))))

Hello WRC. Is possible to obtain a node-cache modul for the nodeJS ver.4.4.4. and actual Caché 2015... ? And what is the expected outlook of this. A note about this new portal: If I put into "search box" some text with dot like .js or .css ( for example: test.js ) , I obtaint error page. Try it. Of course, this "Developer Community" is nice, the right way. Nice day for all, Jan Krestyn Hi Jan,in case you haven't done this yet, please contact WRC directly for your node module request. http://www.intersystems.com/services-support/worldwide-response-center/ Thanks for the posting and for the input on the search. We'll get it fixed. We are working to get the latest node into the distributions. Its problematic because it requires newer versions of compilers then we are currently using. Once the compilers are upgraded the new node will ship in the distributions. In the mean time we are making them available separately thru the WRC

Click here to view our OAuth 2.0 OverviewInterSystems created this video as a high-level overview of OAuth 2.0 technology, geared toward developers looking to learn the basics of OAuth 2.0. It will teach you how OAuth 2.0 works, what roles are involved, what benefits it can provide, and how InterSystems Caché can be used with this technology. This is a very nice and well produced video. But it jumps into explaining about how OAuth works without every stating what OAuth is. It assumes that whoever watches the video knows what OAuth is.It would be nice to have a paragraph or two just explaining what this application is.It is not my intention to throw stones, but this seems to be a pattern in InterSystems documentation, explaining how something works without first explaining what it is. I guess they assume if they explain how it works, we will understand what it is. Not necessarily so.I know I am going to get hammered for this, but it is true. Hi Mike, thanks for your feedback! The audience we were targeting with this video mostly included developers looking to understand how OAuth 2.0 works, with an assumed understanding of what it generally is. But you raise a good point, and we've added a short description on the course page above the video.While it isn't a very thorough dive into the what, it provides a little background. Ultimately, our goal was to answer the how and why when it comes to OAuth 2.0. Thanks for your input! The new introduction is exactly what I had in mind, thank you.

** Revised Feb-12, 2018 While this article is about InterSystems IRIS, it also applies to Caché, Ensemble, and HealthShare distributions. Introduction Memory is managed in pages. The default page size is 4KB on Linux systems. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11, and Oracle Linux 6 introduced a method to provide an increased page size in 2MB or 1GB sizes depending on system configuration know as HugePages. At first HugePages required to be assigned at boot time, and if not managed or calculated appropriately could result in wasted resources. As a result various Linux distributions introduced Transparent HugePages with the 2.6.38 kernel as enabled by default. This was meant as a means to automate creating, managing, and using HugePages. Prior kernel versions may have this feature as well however may not be marked as [always] and potentially set to [madvise]. Transparent Huge Pages (THP) is a Linux memory management system that reduces the overhead of Translation Lookaside Buffer (TLB) lookups on machines with large amounts of memory by using larger memory pages. However in current Linux releases THP can only map individual process heap and stack space. The Problem The majority of memory allocation in any Cache' system is the shared memory segments (global and routine buffers pools) and because THP does not handle these shared memory segments. As a result THP are not used for shared memory, and are only used for each individual process. This can be confirmed using a simple shell command. The following is an example from a test system at InterSystems which shows 2MB THP allocated to Cache' processes: # grep -e AnonHugePages /proc/*/smaps | awk '{ if($2>4) print $0} ' | awk -F "/" '{print $0; system("ps -fp " $3)} ' /proc/2945/smaps:AnonHugePages: 2048 kB UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD root 2945 1 0 2015 ? 01:35:41 /usr/sbin/rsyslogd -n /proc/70937/smaps:AnonHugePages: 2048 kB UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD root 70937 70897 0 Jan27 pts/0 00:01:58 /bench/EJR/ycsb161b641/bin/cache WD /proc/70938/smaps:AnonHugePages: 2048 kB UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD root 70938 70897 0 Jan27 pts/0 00:00:00 /bench/EJR/ycsb161b641/bin/cache GC /proc/70939/smaps:AnonHugePages: 2048 kB UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD root 70939 70897 0 Jan27 pts/0 00:00:39 /bench/EJR/ycsb161b641/bin/cache JD /proc/70939/smaps:AnonHugePages: 4096 kB UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD root 70939 70897 0 Jan27 pts/0 00:00:39 /bench/EJR/ycsb161b641/bin/cache JD /proc/70940/smaps:AnonHugePages: 2048 kB UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD root 70940 70897 0 Jan27 pts/0 00:00:29 /bench/EJR/ycsb161b641/bin/cache SWD 1 /proc/70941/smaps:AnonHugePages: 2048 kB UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD root 70941 70897 0 Jan27 pts/0 00:00:29 /bench/EJR/ycsb161b641/bin/cache SWD 2 /proc/70942/smaps:AnonHugePages: 2048 kB UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD root 70942 70897 0 Jan27 pts/0 00:00:29 /bench/EJR/ycsb161b641/bin/cache SWD 3 /proc/70943/smaps:AnonHugePages: 2048 kB UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD root 70943 70897 0 Jan27 pts/0 00:00:33 /bench/EJR/ycsb161b641/bin/cache SWD 7 /proc/70944/smaps:AnonHugePages: 2048 kB UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD root 70944 70897 0 Jan27 pts/0 00:00:29 /bench/EJR/ycsb161b641/bin/cache SWD 4 /proc/70945/smaps:AnonHugePages: 2048 kB UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD root 70945 70897 0 Jan27 pts/0 00:00:30 /bench/EJR/ycsb161b641/bin/cache SWD 5 /proc/70946/smaps:AnonHugePages: 2048 kB UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD root 70946 70897 0 Jan27 pts/0 00:00:30 /bench/EJR/ycsb161b641/bin/cache SWD 6 /proc/70947/smaps:AnonHugePages: 4096 kB In addition, there are potential performance penalties in the form of memory allocation delays at runtime especially for applications that may have a high rate of job or process creation. The Recommendation InterSystems recommends for the time being to disable THP as the intended performance gain is not applicable to IRIS shared memory segment, and the potential for a negative performance impact in some applications. Check to see if your Linux system has Transparent HugePages enabled by running of the following commands: For Red Hat Enterprise Linux kernels: # cat /sys/kernel/mm/redhat_transparent_hugepage/enabled For other kernels: # cat /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled The above command will display whether the [always], [madvise], or [never] flag is enabled. If THP is removed from the kernel then the /sys/kernel/mm/redhat_transparent_hugepage or /sys/kernel/mm/redhat/transparent_hugepage files do not exist. To disable Transparent HugePages during boot perform the following steps: 1. Add the following entry to the kernel boot line in the /etc/grub.conf file: transparent_hugepage=never 2. Reboot the operating system There is a method to also disable THP on-the-fly, however this may not provide the desired result as that method will only stop the creation and usage of THP for new processes. THP already created will not be disassembled into regular memory pages. It is advised to completely reboot the system to have THP disabled at boot time. *Note: It is recommended to confirm with your respective Linux distributor to confirm the methods used for disabling THP. One clarification comment I would like to add is the use of "traditional" HugePages through the process of boot-time reservation is still highly recommended for optimal performance . This process is detailed in the Cache' Installation Guide: http://docs.intersystems.com/cache20152/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=GCI_unixparms#GCI_unixparms_huge_page I think further clarification is also needed, You mention that various Linux distributions introduce this with the 2.6.38 Kernel. However this starts with RHEL 6.0/Centos 6 .0 General Availability release. 6.8 is currently only kernel 2.6.32-642 and it has this available in it. Additional information about it's availability in version 6.0 can be found in the RHEl slideshow page 2 http://www.slideshare.net/raghusiddarth/transparent-hugepages-in-rhel-6 and on page 102 of the redhat 6.0 technical documentation https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/pdf/6.0_Technical_Notes/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux-6-6.0_Technical_Notes-en-US.pdf . I have not researched when this was rolled into fedora prior to 2.6.38 but as fedora tends to be a precursor to RHEL, it might also have been before kernel 2.6.38.It might be better to suggest that people run the check to see if it is enabled or not and that they should not be surprised if they are running a Linux with a kernel less than 2.6.38that does not support it. Mark, may I ask your for some clarification? You wrote:As a result THP are not used for shared memory, and are only used for each individual process. What's a problem here? Shared memory can use "normal" huge pages, meanwhile individual processes - THP.

Hi Alexey,Thank you for your comment. Yes, both THP and traditional/reserved Huge_pages can be used at the same time, however there is not benefit and in fact systems with many (thousands) of Caché processes, especially if there is a lot of process creation, has shown a performance penalty in testing. The overhead of instantiating the THP for those processes at a high rate can be noticeable. Your application may not exhibit this scenario and may be ok. The goal of this article is to provide guidance for those that may not know which is the best option to choose and/or point out that this is a change in recent Linux distributions. You may find that THP usage is perfectly fine for your application. There is no replacement for actual testing and benchmarking your application. :)Kind regards,Mark B- Of course their is no replacement to actual testing. What I am trying to say is that had I started reading the article straight through instead of skimming and jumping to the how to check if it was on, I probably would have read at the top "various Linux distibutions introduced Transparent HugePages with the 2.6.38 kernel' and stopped because my kernel is less than that. I really think that the current wording will lead people whom work at shops that are still rolling out new builds in RHEL or Centos 6 not to use the ideal settings. Maybe a complete re-arrange of the first three paragraphs into two or three paragraphs where the RHEL 6,... might make this clearer. With a sentence that reads something like, "This was first introduced in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11, and Oracle Linux 6; and then later introduced in may other Linux variants with the 2.6.38 kernel.Additionally it might make things clearer if you where to mention that for It's setting the item in brackets is what is the current setting as in my redhat the lines reads . [always] madvise never.It might also be useful to people on this to mention what to do in the case where the transparent Huge pages enabled is set to madvise . Hi Alexander,Thank you for you post. We are only relying on what RH documentation is stating as to when THP was introduced to the main stream kernel (2.6.38) and enabled by default as noted in the RH post you referenced. The option may have existed in previous kernels (although I would not recommending to try it), it may not have been enabled by default. All the documentation I can find on THP support in RH references the 2.6.38 kernel where is was merged feature.If you are finding it in previous kernels, confirm that THP are enabled by default or not. That would be interesting to know. Unfortunately there isn't much we can do other than to do the checks for enablement as mentioned in the post. As the ultimate confirmation, RH and the other Linux distributions would need to update their documentation to confirm when this behavior was enacted in the respective kernel versions. As I mentioned in other comments, the use of THP is not necessarily a bad thing and won't cause "harm" to a system, but there may be performance impacts for applications that have a large amount of process creation as part of their application.Kind regards,Mark B- I will revise the post to be more clear that THP is enabled by default in 2.6.38 kernel but may be available in prior kernels and to reference your respective Linux distributions documentation for confirming and changing the setting. Thanks for your comments. I do not claim to be a Huge Pages expert, but I have been doing some more reading on Transparent Huge pages and the madvise option. The following is untested and un-verified.It seem like if you are running Kernel 2.6.38 or newer that you may be able to use the madvise instead of never for the Transparent Huge Pages setting. According to http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man2/madvise.2.html the 2.6.38 kernel’s madvise has a MADV_HUGEPAGE option, that allows applications to enable Transparent Huge pages, If no MADV_* flag is thrown then it defaults to MADV_NORMAL or no special treatment. I believe this means that transparent huge pages should be off by default. If you are using RHEL 6 or probably most of its derivatives even though they have a madvise setting for their Transparent Huge pages settings it appears RHEL did not backport the MADV_HUGEPAGE Option to their madvise/Kernel (At least 2.6.32-504.81 and lower), so you have to set the box’s transparent Huge pages to never. (Man page in RHEL 6 with kernel= 2.6.32-504.8.1 lacking a MADV_HUGEPAGE and https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tokudb-dev/_1YNBMlHftU Bradly Kuszmaul’s 5/8/13 post.)RHEL 7 & it’s derivatives are running the 3.X kernel and that man pages show a MADV_HUGEPAGE option so it looks like you can set the box to madvise and it will not use transparent huge pages.Once again I am not a Transparent Huge Pages expert and have not done any testing to verify the validity of this. Please update this a bit as RHEL 8.6 keeps track of wether Transparent Huge pages is enabled or not in cat /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled and not the redhat_transparent_hugepage that older version did.
