🛠️ Managing InterSystems InterSystems API Manager (IAM = Kong Gateway) configurations in CI/CD 🔍 Context: InterSystems IAM configurations As part of integrating InterSystems IRIS into a secure and controlled environment, InterSystems IAM relies on Kong Gateway to manage exposed APIs.Kong acts as a modern API Gateway, capable of handling authentication, security, traffic management, plugins, and more. However, maintaining consistent Kong configurations (routes, services, plugins, etc.) across different environments (development, testing, production) is a major challenge. This is where tools like deck and this Python script become highly valuable. ⚙️ Overview of kong_config_tool.py This tool allows you to: Export the current configuration of a Kong Gateway into a versionable YAML file. Import a YAML configuration into a Kong Gateway (via deck sync). Automate full logging (logs, stdout/stderr) for accurate tracking. Easily integrate into a CI/CD pipeline. 🎯 Goals and Benefits 🔄 Consistent Synchronization Across Environments The tool simplifies propagating Kong configuration between environments. By exporting from dev and importing into staging or prod, you ensure functional parity. 🔐 Traceability and Audits via Logs With the --log option, all operations (including internal deck commands) are logged: Who executed what What configuration was applied What was Kong’s response (number of resources created, modified, etc.) 🧪 CI/CD Pipeline Integration In GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, or Jenkins: The export step can be triggered automatically after API changes. The import step can deploy the Kong config on every merge or release. The generated YAML files can be version-controlled in Git. 🧰 Example GitLab Pipeline stages: - export - deploy export_kong: stage: export script: - python3 kong_config_tool.py --export --log artifacts: paths: - kong.yaml - kong_config_tool.log deploy_kong: stage: deploy script: - python3 kong_config_tool.py --import --log 🛡️ Security and Reproducibility Since InterSystems IAM is often used in sensitive environments (healthcare, finance...), it’s essential to: Avoid manual errors using deck sync Ensure each deployment applies the exact same configuration Maintain a clear audit trail via .log files 💡 Tool Highlights Feature Description --export Saves the current config to a file like kong-<timestamp>.yaml --import Applies the contents of kong.yaml to the Gateway --log Enables full logging (stdout, stderr, logs) Automatic Symlink kong.yaml is always a symlink to the latest exported version Easy Integration No heavy dependencies — relies on standard Python and deck 📦 Conclusion The kong_config_tool.py script is a key component for industrializing Kong configuration management in the context of InterSystems IAM. It enables: Better configuration control Enhanced traceability Smooth integration into CI/CD pipelines Compliance with security requirements 🚀 Potential Future Enhancements Native GitOps integration (ArgoCD, FluxCD) Configuration validation with deck diff Error notifications (Slack, Teams) 🧬 Python Code Overview The kong_config_tool.py script is a Python CLI tool designed to automate configuration exports and imports for Kong Gateway using deck, while ensuring robust logging. 📁 General Structure #!/usr/bin/env python3 import argparse import subprocess from datetime import datetime from pathlib import Path import sys import logging Uses only standard Python modules. argparse: to handle command-line options. subprocess: to run deck commands. logging: for structured output (console + file). 🧱 Logger Initialization logger = logging.getLogger("kong_config_tool") Initializes a named logger, configurable based on whether a log file is requested. 📝 setup_logging(log_file=None) This function: Creates handlers for both console and/or file. Redirects sys.stdout and sys.stderr to the log file if --log is provided. 🔎 This captures everything: Python logs, print(), errors, and also output from deck. 📤 export_kong_config() deck_dir = Path.cwd() output_file = deck_dir / f"kong-{timestamp}.yaml" Executes deck gateway dump -o ... to export the current configuration. Captures stdout and stderr and sends them to logger.debug(...). Creates or updates a kong.yaml symlink pointing to the exported file — simplifying future imports. Logs and exits on failure. 📥 import_kong_config() Checks for the presence of the kong.yaml file (symlink or actual file). Runs deck gateway sync kong.yaml. Captures and logs full output. Handles errors via CalledProcessError. 🔁 This logic mirrors the export process. 🚀 main() The main entry point that: Handles --export, --import, and --log arguments. Calls the appropriate functions. Example usage: python kong_config_tool.py --export --log python kong_config_tool.py --import --log 💡 If --log is omitted, output goes to console only. 🧪 Typical CI/CD Execution Export python kong_config_tool.py --export --log Results: kong-2025-07-18_12-34-56.yaml (versionable content) kong.yaml (useful symlink for import) kong_config_tool.log (audit log) Import python kong_config_tool.py --import --log Results: Applies the configuration to a new gateway (staging, prod, etc.) kong_config_tool.log to prove what was done ✅ Code Summary Table Feature Implementation Intuitive CLI Interface argparse with help descriptions Clean Export deck gateway dump + timestamp Controlled Import deck gateway sync kong.yaml Full Logging logging + stdout/stderr redirection Resilience Error handling via try/except CI/CD Ready Simple interface, no external dependencies Let me know if you'd like the English version of the actual code too! kong_config_tool.py #!/usr/bin/env python3 import argparse import subprocess from datetime import datetime from pathlib import Path import sys import logging logger = logging.getLogger("kong_config_tool") def setup_logging(log_file=None): logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG) formatter = logging.Formatter("[%(asctime)s] %(levelname)s: %(message)s", "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") handlers = [] # Console handler console_handler = logging.StreamHandler() console_handler.setFormatter(formatter) handlers.append(console_handler) if log_file: file_handler = logging.FileHandler(log_file) file_handler.setFormatter(formatter) handlers.append(file_handler) # Redirect all stdout and stderr to the log file log_file_handle = open(log_file, "a") sys.stdout = log_file_handle sys.stderr = log_file_handle for handler in handlers: logger.addHandler(handler) def export_kong_config(): deck_dir = Path.cwd() current_date = datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S") output_file = deck_dir / f"kong-{current_date}.yaml" try: logger.info(f"Exporting Kong config to: {output_file}") result = subprocess.run( ["deck", "gateway", "dump", "-o", str(output_file)], check=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, text=True ) # Log and print deck output logger.debug(result.stdout) logger.debug(result.stderr) print(result.stdout) print(result.stderr) symlink_path = deck_dir / "kong.yaml" if symlink_path.exists() or symlink_path.is_symlink(): symlink_path.unlink() symlink_path.symlink_to(output_file.name) logger.info(f"Symlink created/updated: {symlink_path} -> {output_file.name}") except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e: logger.error(f"Export failed: {e}") logger.error(e.stderr) print(e.stderr) sys.exit(1) def import_kong_config(): deck_file = Path.cwd() / "kong.yaml" if not deck_file.exists(): logger.error(f"Configuration file {deck_file} not found.") sys.exit(1) try: logger.info("Syncing kong.yaml to gateway...") result = subprocess.run( ["deck", "gateway", "sync", str(deck_file)], check=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, text=True ) # Log and print deck output logger.debug(result.stdout) logger.debug(result.stderr) # print(result.stdout) # print(result.stderr) logger.info("Sync completed successfully.") except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e: logger.error(f"Sync failed: {e}") logger.error(e.stderr) print(e.stderr) sys.exit(1) def main(): parser = argparse.ArgumentParser( description=( "Tool to export or import Kong Gateway configuration using deck.\n\n" "Exactly one of the options --export or --import is required.\n\n" "Examples:\n" " python kong_config_tool.py --export --log\n" " python kong_config_tool.py --import --log\n\n" "For help, run:\n" " python kong_config_tool.py --help" ), formatter_class=argparse.RawTextHelpFormatter ) group = parser.add_mutually_exclusive_group(required=True) group.add_argument("-e", "--export", dest="export_config", action="store_true", help="Export Kong configuration to a timestamped YAML file and create/update kong.yaml symlink.") group.add_argument("-i", "--import", dest="import_config", action="store_true", help="Import (sync) Kong configuration from kong.yaml into Kong Gateway.") parser.add_argument( "--log", dest="log_file", nargs="?", const="kong_config_tool.log", help="Enable logging to a file.

Thanks @Evgeny.Shvarov for sharing technological bonuses results.Please note that iris-GenLab application has Embedded Python and (Langchain or AI LLM) functionality.PEX Production and 2nd article have been also added.Regards In my project iris-vector, there are a few things, which make it impossible to make it ObjectScriptLess, at least for now. I've already mentioned the issues of running Python based SQL functions, in my article, so, I had to add ObjectScript realization too. And any new DataType in IRIS, which implements custom serialization based on methods like DisplayToStorage, at the moment accepts only ObjectScript, due to tied implementation to SQL Compilation engine. Thanks @Evgeny Shvarov for sharing technological bonuses results.Please note that iris-python-machinelearn application has Docker functionality and the last update NoObjectScriptLine too.Thanks again. Hi @Muhammad.Waseem ! Bonuses are implemented Hi @Dienes ! But here is the ObjectScript in your repo Thanks, @Dmitry.Maslennikov ! Yes, you used Python and avoided ObjectScript where possible finding new limits - thanks for that! The bonus point is provided. Hi @Evgeny.Shvarov, still points are not updated Hello @Evgeny.Shvarov. I think the apptools-django project implements the idea of community: https://ideas.intersystems.com/ideas/DP-I-149 How do you think ?And also, I updated the first article. Please add points. Yes, there are both implementations, in the Python folder, file sample.py this is the construction only in Python without ObjectScript. By the way, I also made an article, I think I linked it to the app. Hello @Evgeny.Shvarov Thanks for sharing the bonuses results. Please, can you check the IrisApitester puntuation? It uses: -Embedded phyton -Docker -ZPM Or maybe it’s because it’s an update to an existing App? Thanks! Sergey, it is a good attempt, but you need to justify every aspect of current management portal substituted with your one. From what I saw you introduce a new interesting functionality and sometimes you use links to the current portal. Article is considered. Yes, if you apply again with the same app "previous" bonuses don't count. only for the new functionality. Hi Daniel! You already received these bonuses in the previous contest. We do not re-give bonuses to ensure what already participating apps do not have an advantage over new ones. Could you please delete the files from repo that are not related to your solution to avoid the confusion? My initial idea was to create a kind of template for future changes, where in the SRC folder there is the project with Python embedded in IRIS and in the Python folder there are two files, one that calls IRIS through Python and the other just the pure Script that runs directly in local or inside Docker with Iris. But I believe that the idea of ​​doing something more comprehensive ended up generating more confusion than solution, this is the first time I have participated in a contest, I will refine it more the next time. Hi Andre! If we consider all the code you wrote, it includes ObjectScript. Considering that you merged two templates intersystems-iris-dev-template and iris-embedded-python-template and wrote your code on top, it is a little difficult to find exactly your changes. I checked all your commits and found out that you were the one who wrote the ObjectScript code. You can easily fix this by rewriting this method in Python. I understand, it would be more interesting to leave just the Python part like this file without the ObjectScript, but I would have to generate a new image in Docker to remove it, and unfortunately I'm very committed to time right now, for a first Contest it will serve as a learning experience and a lesson, if you can consider something as it is, great, if you can't, that's fine, I'll dedicate myself more to the next one, I'll change this one as soon as I can. Thank you very much for your attention and explanations. Ok, I understand it, no problem, thank you! Hi @Evgeny.Shvarov, Thanks for the update. Only Questionnaire points are not updated which I already done yesterday. Done! Your Questionnaire points were added Thanks Hi Semion, i made some changes, I added a video and the link to the article in the contest, I changed the name of the file that was as a sample to NoObjectScript.py, in the video I show its execution and demonstrating the usability of the libraries in a FrontEnd. Hello @Evgeny Shvarov Thanks for sharing the bonuses results. To the password-app-iris-db application, a second article was written, but no points were awarded for it. Hi! Your bonuses were accepted Hi Oleksandr! You have already received all bonuses for articles. First article what you wrote for previous contest is not applying. We are counting articles what were written only for the current contest. It should be fresh. Thanks Semion, one last cry, won't NoObjectScript be considered? Thank you very much for your attention and sorry for the inconvenience. Hi Andre! Sorry, but no. I already explained why and how to fix it.

If you have not joined InterSystems Global Masters Advocacy Hub yet, let's get started right now! Feel free to ask your questions in the comments to this post. *Post last updated: 21 July 2025 Thanks, Anastasia!Very helpful! I believe we also have a series upon the number of accepted answers, like 10,25,50,100 accepted answers. Do we? Thank you for this quick reference table (and for my *looks up amount of points for comments* 30 points!) Hi Evgeny,let me answer - we do not have so far, and I think that would be good to have such series & badges to recognize the authors. Are these automated in any way? Wondering if mine is bugged because I've certainly posted questions and comments before but those badges were never unlocked. Their descriptions below say "first" question/comment and I don't know if mine are being detected:https://community.intersystems.com/post/changes-global-masters-program-new-level-new-badges-new-possibilities Hi David! This should be automatic. We'll investigate. I wrote a post on DC in 2017? Do I have to 'register' it to get points on Global Masters?Kind regards, Stephen Hi David!We have fixed this issue. Thank you for the feedback! Thank you! You're very quick! Hi Stephen, I see you have joined recently the Global Masters, that is so great! -this post is not counted in "Write a post on Developer Community" challenge (100 points), as it has been published before you registered- it is counted in all other type of challenges listed above e.g. "Write 10 posts on DC". This was really helpful Thank you This is an excellent article and is worth bumping the thread :) Great! This is very helpful! This is helpful. Thank you! "Invite your colleague to Developer Community" - is there a formal way to do this via the D.C. interface? I looked around and couldn't seem to find an 'invite a friend' option or anything like that. I have some colleagues whom I think would benefit from getting involved in the D.C. (CC: @Anastasia.Dyubaylo / @Evgeny.Shvarov ) Hi @Benjamin.Spead you can do that via this Global Masters challenge (this challenge is currently in your "Later" tab) Thank you @Olga.Zavrazhnova2637! I knew I had seen it somewhere at some point. I just had a conversation with a new colleague yesterday about the value of the D.C. and Global Masters, so I will send her an invite :) It's a good idea! Do you mean to have the UI on DC to prepare an email invitation to join DC to a friend developer with a standard invitation text? This was more to figure out the proper way to do this in order for tracking for the badge, etc on the G.M. platform. It makes sense that it needs to originate in a challenge (and than you to Olga for pointing that out). I don't think that just having a form on the D.C. to invite a friend necessarily makes sense, as anyone can just shoot a friend an email with the link. If others would like to see this as a new feature I won't object though. Hello,please, can you explain how to translate an article/question? Regards You can see the language of the article in the upper left side of the window, click on it and a list of language will be deployed, select the language to translate the article and a new window will be shown with 2 options, translate and request translate, select the first and you will be able to translate the article. Oh, I see. Unfortunally there is not Italian language available. Puoi dare un suggerimento in Ideas Portal Penso che ci sia abbastanza supporto lì. Perciò ?? @Luca.Ravazzolo ?? Thank you for the table! Thanks, Anastasia! Very helpful! Thanks for the help. Hello! Thank you very much for remembering these points! I was reading and noticed that the option "Share an article / video in Social Networks" is no longer available in publications, I think this referred to the old platform, right? Hi Marcelo! Yes, the option to share was available for any article and video on the old platform. On the new platform, we still have some articles/videos for sharing, but only for selected content. Social sharing “asks” are tagged with the “social share” tag on the platform when available. Thank you!! Thank for the tips thanks for the information it is very useful Very helpful, thanks I was curious, how long should it take for there to be an update to your points after reading an article / posting a reply? Is this something that should happen immediately, or take some time? This is so cool! Can't wait to get active in the Intersystems community and earn some points Hi Henry! The points are awarded on the 4th day after you post a comment or article — this delay is intentional, for moderation purposes. However, if you notice a delay longer than that, please let me know. That could indicate a possible issue with the integration between your profiles on DC and GM that we may need to look into 😊 Hi Olga! Thank you for the quick response. That definitely makes sense Hi Olga, I had a question about the point structure regarding comments. Do you get 300 points for being the first to comment on a post, or is it 300 points for your first ever comment, then 30 points for every subsequent one? Thanks for your help! That’s a good question! You get 300 points for your first-ever comment on DC — and it comes with a badge too. Then, 30 points for every subsequent one. We’ll update the table to make this clearer. Now I really like the idea of awarding bonus points to the author of the first answer to a question 😄 — maybe we should introduce something like that! Thanks for the clarification! And I agree, that would be a good way to incentivize initiation on posts. I also think you should give points to those who suggested great ideas on how to score points 😄 And then the question is, does it have to be a correct answer? Because if not I'm going to be getting lots of points very quickly ;) It doesn’t have to be correct, but make it your best shot :)P.S. Our moderators are wide awake — just saying 😄😜 Sensational Wow great question Henry! This guide is really helpful—it makes it easy to understand how to earn points and how many points each activity gives. I’ve saved it to my sticky notes so I can quickly check it without having to come back here every time

Hi, Community! Have you thought about becoming a subject matter expert (SME) for InterSystems Certification? The benefits are many—but you can hear directly from five members of our SME community as they discuss: How did participating in exam development boost your own expertise? What about you? If you're already a SME, what did you gain from the experience? If you are not part of our SME community - but are interested - what questions do you have about the process? Acting as an SME was a fantastic experience. Myself and my paired expert were able to really dive into some interesting avenues of discussion, combining our different approaches and experiences, and distilling them down to a common understanding. It was a truly valuable exercise to expand and reinforce my knowledge of the great products we offer

Hello IRIS community, InterSystems Certification is currently developing a certification exam for InterSystems IRIS SQL professionals, and if you match the exam candidate description given below, we would like you to beta test the exam! The exam will be available for beta testing starting May 19, 2025. Please note: Only candidates with the pre-existing InterSystems IRIS SQL Specialist certification are eligible to take the beta. Interested in the beta but don’t have the SQL Specialist certification? Take the SQL Specialist exam! Eligible candidates will receive an email from the certification team with instructions on scheduling the exam. Beta testing will be completed October 30, 2025. What are my responsibilities as a beta tester? You will schedule and take the exam by July 15th. The exam will be administered in an online proctored environment free of charge (the standard fee of $150 per exam is waived for all beta testers). The InterSystems Certification team will then perform a careful statistical analysis of all beta test data to set a passing score for the exam. The analysis of the beta test results will take 6-8 weeks, and once the passing score is established, you will receive an email notification from InterSystems Certification informing you of the results. If your score on the exam is at or above the passing score, you will have earned the certification! Note: Beta test scores are completely confidential. How is this exam different from the InterSystems IRIS SQL Specialist exam? This new exam - InterSystems IRIS SQL Professional - covers higher-level SQL topics and is recommended for candidates with 4 to 6 years of relevant experience, compared to the 1 to 2 years recommended for the SQL Specialist exam.

Once you pass this exam and obtain the certification, you will receive an email from the certification team regarding the beta. Please let me know if I can clarify anything! Thank you for the clarifications Celeste! dear @Celeste.Canzano Can anyone take this beta test? or only those who holds an active SQL Specialist certification is eligible for this? Regards, Harshitha Hi Harshitha! Only those who hold an active SQL Specialist certification are eligible for the SQL Professional beta. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Intersystems is all about name spaces. Each Name space can be mapped to one or more databases and vice versa. In my desktop with intersystems, Can i have DEV , TEST environments pointing to different name spaces at same point of time ? if i am right here, then the DEV environment is nothing but the namespace that we work on....Please let know Slight correction: the system mode is per instance and not per namespace. Well spotted, I've updated my comment. Hi Murali,Your perfectly right.You can have multiple namespaces on the same Caché instance for different purposes. These should have a naming convention to identify their purpose. That convention is really down to you. I normally postfix the name with -DEV and -TEST, e.g. FOO-DEV & FOO-TEST.These namespaces will share commonly mapped code from the main library, but unless configured otherwise they are completely independent from each other. You can dev and test in them respectively without fear of polluting one another.TipYou can mark the mode of an instance via the management portal > system > configuration > memory and startup. On that configuration page you will see a drop down for "system mode" with the options...Live SystemTest SystemDevelopment SystemFailover SystemThe options are mostly inert, but what they will do is paint a box on the top of your management portal screens. If you mark it as live then you will get a red box that you can't miss.Sean

Has anyone successfully executed s (INTSFREEZE and INSTATHAW) scripts in atelier tool? We are having issues with FREEZE script whereas Thaw works fine. Would appreciate any inputs! I'm not familiar with INSTFREEZE and INSTATHAW, can you describe where those scripts come from? However, if these are calling into the database and ultimately call the ExternalFreeze and ExternalThaw methods, the permissions for running an ExternalFreeze are more strict than those for running an ExternalThaw, which may be the root of the difference as to why thaw is succeeding and freeze is failing. Thanks for providing inputs. Yes agreed, invoking external freeze and external thaw operations to perform suspend and resume system. Thaw operation working as expected , but externalFreeze operation failing, I believe these issue with authentication issue. Is there way to address authentication issue to fix through Cache object script using $ZF(-1) function or any other option .OS level authentication we enabled through admin console and got succeeded in the Windows Command prompt execution but same is failing through cache object script code. @Thomas Granger - Thank you for your response. You said it right! that's exactly the problem with specific permissions for ExternalFreeze.. @John Murray - Thank you for your response and sharing the article. REally appreciate it! will definitely take a look and try that! Building off the comment by @Thomas.Granger about this perhaps being a permissions issue, I suggest you check out this previous DC article by me:https://community.intersystems.com/post/who-does-windows-think-i-am

Hello, I used the operation : EnsLib.EMail.AlertOperation to send mail to handle error. However, I want to get more information about the error (session ID message, the date, the namespace... etc). what is the best way to do it? I tried to add informations in OnAlertRequest method as below but I need to change mail operation from all namespaces... Thanks, I need to get the url of message viewer screen with the session ID .For example : http://localhost:57772/csp/svcptl/EnsPortal.VisualTrace.zen?SESSIONID=40241. It is possible ? You already have a value of SessionId, so concatenate the rest?To get port and host call: set sc=##class(%Studio.General).GetWebServerPort(.port, .server) Some ideas:session ID - you're getting it with pAlertRequest.SessionId, no?date - get it from pAlertRequest.AlertTimenamespace -wouldn't it always be the current namespace? Get it with $namespaceWhat other data do you need?Also, please post your code as text. You can do it in three ways:1 -set ^mtemperro($ZNSPACE,..%PackageName()_"."_..%ClassName(),$horolog) = mensagem_" Erro CACHE: "_$zerror_" - "_$SYSTEM.OBJ.DisplayError()2 - Throw ##class(%Exception.General).%New("Falha ao sinalizar o lançamento do PDA como rastreado.",1,..%ClassName()_".upByRastreado","Informe ao suporte sobre o problema.").Log()3 - Declare in your class an exception variable#dim exception As% Exception.AbstractExceptioncatch exception { do exception.Log()}Then just check the cache administration portal:System Operation-> System Logs-> Application Error Log

Hi,this is a public announcement for the first release of Intersystems Cache Object-Relational Mapper in Python 3. Project's main repository is located at Github (healiseu/IntersystemsCacheORM).About the projectCacheORM module is an enhanced OOP porting of Intersystems Cache-Python binding. There are three classes implemented:CacheClient This is the super class of CachePython module. It wraps two functions from intersys.pythonbind module pythonbind3.connection() and pythonbind3.database().CacheQuery A subclass of CacheClient that wraps methods and adds extra functionality in intersys.pythonbind.databaseand intersys.pythonbind.query classesCacheClass A subclass of CacheClient, that wraps methods and adds extra functionality in intersys.pythonbind.databaseand intersys.pythonbind.object classesThe intersys.pythonbind package is a Python C extension that provides Python application with transparent connectivity to the objects stored in the Caché database.Source CodeThe project's code that is released to the public was originally written and used as a module of TRIADB project.Tests and DemosThere are two folders in this release:testCacheORM contains python jupyter notebook files that demonstrate CacheQuery and CacheClasstestCacheBinding are tests written for Intersystems Cache python bindingOne can simply compare tests with demos to appreciate the work in this project to leverage intersystems cache python binding. For example # Intersystems Cache Python binding for queries import intersys.pythonbind3 # Create a connection user="_SYSTEM"; password="123"; host = "localhost"; port = "1972"; url = host+"["+port+"]:SAMPLES" conn = intersys.pythonbind3.connection() # Connect Now to SAMPLES namespace conn.connect_now(url, user, password, None) # Create a database object samplesDB = intersys.pythonbind3.database(conn) # create a query object cq = intersys.pythonbind3.query(samplesDB) # prepare and execute query sql = "SELECT ID, Name, DOB, SSN FROM Sample.Person" cq.prepare(sql) cq.execute() # Fetch rows for x in range(0,10): print(cq.fetch([None])) Same code in only 4 lines using CacheORM python module from CacheORM import CacheQuery samples_query = CacheQuery(namespace='SAMPLES', username='_SYSTEM', password='SYS', dl=99) samples_query.execute_sql('SELECT ID, Name, DOB, SSN FROM Sample.Person') samples_query.print_records(10) You can view the output from this python Jupyter Notebook at my Microsoft Azure CacheORM library Another example, this time with Cache-Python Objects # Demo of Intersystems Cache Python binding with Samples namespace and Sample.Person class import intersys.pythonbind3 conn = intersys.pythonbind3.connection( ) conn.connect_now('localhost[1972]:SAMPLES', '_SYSTEM', '123', None) samplesDB = intersys.pythonbind3.database(conn) #%% Create a new instance of Sample.Person to be husband husband = samplesDB.create_new("Sample.Person", None) ssn1 = samplesDB.run_class_method("%Library.PopulateUtils","SSN",[]) dob1 = samplesDB.run_class_method("%Library.PopulateUtils","Date",[]) husband.set("Name","Hatzis, Athanassios I") husband.set("SSN",ssn1) husband.set("DOB",dob1) # Save husband husband.run_obj_method("%Save",[]) print ("Saved id: "+str(husband.run_obj_method("%Id",[]))) #%% Create a new instance of Sample.Person to be wife wife = samplesDB.create_new("Sample.Person", None); ssn2 = samplesDB.run_class_method("%Library.PopulateUtils","SSN",[]) dob2 = samplesDB.run_class_method("%Library.PopulateUtils","Date",[]) wife.set("Name","Kalamari, Panajota"); wife.set("SSN",ssn2) wife.set("DOB",dob2) # Save wife wife.set("Spouse",husband); wife.run_obj_method("%Save",[]); print ("Saved id: " + str(wife.run_obj_method("%Id",[]))) #%% Relate them husband.set("Spouse",wife); husband.run_obj_method("%Save",[]); wife.set("Spouse",husband); wife.run_obj_method("%Save",[]); # Open an instance of the Sample.Person object athanID=217 athanPerson = samplesDB.openid("Sample.Person",str(athanID),-1,-1) # Open another instance otherID=3 otherPerson = samplesDB.openid("Sample.Person",str(otherID),-1,-1) # Fetch some properties print ("ID: " + otherPerson.run_obj_method("%Id",[])) print ("Name: " + otherPerson.get("Name")) print ("SSN: " + otherPerson.get("SSN")) print ("DOB: " + str(otherPerson.get("DOB"))) print ("Age: " + str(othePerson.get("Age"))) Same code using CacheORM python module, i.e. object-relational mapping from CacheORM import CacheClass # Create an instance of PopulateUtils to call built-in CACHE class method populateUtils = CacheClass(namespace='%SYS', cachepackage='%Library', cacheclass='PopulateUtils', username='_SYSTEM', password='SYS') # Create CacheClass Instance husband = CacheClass(username='_SYSTEM', password='SYS', dl=99) # Create and populate a new CacheClass Object husband.new() husband.set_value("SSN",populateUtils.class_method("SSN")) husband.set_value("Name", "Hatzis, Athanassios I") husband.set_value("DOB", populateUtils.class_method("Date")) # Save husband husband.save() # Create another CacheClass object wife = CacheClass(username='_SYSTEM', password='SYS') wife.new() wife.set_value("SSN",populateUtils.class_method("SSN")) wife.set_value("Name", "Kalamari, Panajota") wife.set_value("DOB", populateUtils.class_method("Date")) wife.save() # Relate them wife.set_refobj("Spouse", person._cache_id) wife.save() husband.set_refobj("Spouse", female._cache_id) husband.save() # Get Object References person.get("Spouse").get("Name") female.get("Spouse").get("Name") # Open an existing object with id=3 and read cache properties person = CacheClass(username='_SYSTEM', password='SYS', objectID='3') print(f"ID:{person.id}\nSSN: {person.get('SSN')}\nName:{person.get('Name')}\nDateOfBirth:{person.get('DOB')}") You can view the output from this python Jupyter Notebook at my Microsoft Azure CacheORM library Cool staff, Athanassios!Caché queries demo doesn't work though: Thanks Evgeny, you cannot execute my jupyter notebooks on Azure cloud and I think you have to login first in order to view them. In any case my CacheORM module is dependent on intersys.pythonbind module. One has to install this first and verify that it works then start playing with my demos. I wrote guidelines about installation in Github README file.

Hi Developers, The new video from Global summit 2019 is already on InterSystems Developers YouTube: ⏯ Intersystems IRIS Kubernetes Operator This video introduces the InterSystems IRIS Kubernetes operator, which enables InterSystems IRIS containers to function as "first-class citizens" of the Kubernetes ecosystem. We recommend that you be familiar with basic Kubernetes concepts: Introduction to Kubernetes Video Takeaway: You will understand and appreciate the value proposition of the InterSystems IRIS Kubernetes operator. Presenters: 🗣 @Luca.Ravazzolo, Product Manager, InterSystems🗣 @Steven.Lubars, InterSystems Software Developer Additional materials to this video you can find in this InterSystems Online Learning Course. Check out the Cloud Deployment Resource Guide. Enjoy watching this video! 👍🏼 HI Guys, Can you please post the link of prevision session that you mentioned in this video. I am still not sure how we will use Kubernetes with IRIS . It be great if you can put some light on that too ? Thanks Hi Neerav Adam, Are you looking for the Introduction to Kubernetes session? Does anyone know how to download this operator? I'm excited to start using it. Hi @Jonathan.Keam, I hope you found the answer back in Jan. If not head over to containers.intersystems.com HTH

I downloaded containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/healthshare_providerdirectory:2023.2 to evaluate, however when I try to run the container it keeps exiting. >docker run --name providerdirectory --user=irisowner --env=ISC_DATA_DIRECTORY=/intersystems/irisdata --runtime=runc -d containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/healthshare_providerdirectory:2023.2 I keep getting the following, and I am not sure why... 2024-01-17 20:36:20 [INFO] Executing command /home/irisowner/irissys/startISCAgent.sh 2188... 2024-01-17 20:36:20 [INFO] Writing status to file: /home/irisowner/irissys/iscagent.status 2024-01-17 20:36:20 Reading configuration from file: /home/irisowner/irissys/iscagent.conf 2024-01-17 20:36:20 ISCAgent[17]: Starting 2024-01-17 20:36:20 ISCAgent[18]: Starting ApplicationServer on *:2188 2024-01-17 20:36:20 [INFO] ...executed command /home/irisowner/irissys/startISCAgent.sh 2188 2024-01-17 20:36:20 [INFO] Starting InterSystems IRIS instance IRIS... 2024-01-17 20:36:20 [ERROR] iris: instance 'IRIS' not found 2024-01-17 20:36:20 [ERROR] Command "iris start IRIS quietly" exited with status 256 2024-01-17 20:36:20 [ERROR] See the above messages or /intersystems/irisdata/mgr/messages.log for more information 2024-01-17 20:36:20 [FATAL] Error starting InterSystems IRIS Can someone point me to the correct docker run command to get this to run?
