Hi Team, I want implement build/release pipeline for InterSystems IRIS rest API with VSTS without docker container or other tool. Can you please provide step by step guide for same. Thanks, Ankur Shah Most of the CI/CD processes are now based on Container's way. And do it without Docker makes this process much more complex. And It's not quite clear what do you want to achieve. And in any way, this task is quite complex, and very much depends on what kind of application you have, how you build it right now, in some cases major OS, and even when some other languages and technologies are used for application. You may contact me directly, I can help with this, I have experience and knowledge on this. We are using angular as front end and Intersystem IRIS as a backend. We created a CI/CD pipeline for angular project without docker container with VSTS. Same way we want to implement CI/CD pipeline for Intersytem IRIS. Goal is to move our IRIS code from stage server to production server with the help of CI/CD pipeline. Moreover, we don't have any idea on docker and not sure what additional infrastructure required for used docker container. Hi. I implement CI/CD pipeline of IRIS in AWS without container!I use CodeCommit what is git service and CodeDeploy what is deploy service. When source code(cls files) was pushed to CodeCommit, CodeDeploy executes to pull source files from CodeCommit, and deploy to application server.Application server is installed IRIS, and use Interoperability for monitor deploy files. When Interoperability detects files, executes $SYSTEM.OBJ.DeletePackage(path) and $SYSTEM.OBJ.ImportDir(path, "*.cls;*.mac;*.int;*.inc;*.dfi", flag). Hi, By mistake I have accepted your answer. Can you please help me on this. It would be great if you can provide some video or tutorial. Thanks, Ankur Shah VSTS supports Git, I would recommend using it for version control. As for CI/CD pipeline check this series of articles. Might be a bit late to the party, but we use studio project exports in one of our project to create build artifacts, mainly because we are working with customers that do not support containers or other methods of deployment. Here is the snippet: ClassMethod CreateStudioExport() As %Status { #Dim rSC As %Status #Dim tSE As %Exception.StatusException #Dim tProject as %Studio.Project Try { set tRelevantFiles = ..GetAllRelevantFiles() set tProject = ##class(%Studio.Project).%New() set tProject.Name = "My Studio Export" set tIterator = tRelevantFiles.%GetIterator() while tIterator.%GetNext(.key , .classToAdd ) { write "Adding "_classToAdd_" to project export",! $$$ThrowOnError(tProject.AddItem(classToAdd)) } $$$ThrowOnError(tProject.%Save()) zwrite tProject $$$ThrowOnError(tProject.Export("/opt/app/studio-project.xml", "ck", 0, .errorLog, "UTF-8")) Set rSC = $$$OK } Catch tSE { zwrite errorLog Set rSC = tSE.AsStatus() Quit } Quit rSC } ClassMethod GetAllRelevantFiles() As %DynamicArray { set tt=##class(%SYS.Python).Import("files") set string = tt."get_all_cls"("/opt/app/src/src") return ##class(%DynamicArray).%FromJSON(string) } Here is the python script: import os import json # Used to gather relevant files during a buildpipeline step! def normalize_file_path(file, directory): # Remove the first part of the directory to normalize the class name class_name = file[directory.__len__():].replace("\\", ".").replace("/", ".") if class_name.startswith("."): class_name = class_name[1:] return class_name def is_relevant_file(file): file_lower = file.lower() return file_lower.endswith(".cls") \ or file_lower.endswith(".inc") \ or file_lower.endswith(".gbl") \ or file_lower.endswith(".csp") \ or file_lower.endswith(".lut") \ or file_lower.endswith(".hl7") def get_all_cls(directory): all_files = [val for sublist in [[os.path.join(i[0], j) for j in i[2]] for i in os.walk(directory)] for val in sublist] all_relevant_files = list(filter(is_relevant_file, all_files)) normalized = list(map(lambda file: normalize_file_path(file, directory), all_relevant_files)) print(normalized) return json.dumps(normalized) It is all rather hacky, and you probably have to use the snippets I provided as basis, and implement stuff yourself. What we do is: Spin up a docker container with python enabled in the buildpipeline that has the source files mounted to /opt/app/src Execute the CreateStudioExport() method in said docker container Copy the newly created studio export to the build pipeline host Tag the studio export as artifact and upload it to a file storage Maybe this helps! Let me know if you have questions!

Let's say I start with a date range of '1-5-2019' to '5-25-2019' that occurs on one row. I'd like to ultimately have this show as 5 rows in Crystal Reports as shown below Result 1-5-2019 1-31-2019 2-1-2019 2-28-2019 3-1-2019 3-31-2019 4-1-2019 4-30-2019 5-1-2019 5-25-2019 I found a result that worked in T-SQL, but I'm not sure how to translate it to Cache SQL. The T-SQL code is select dateadd(d,N.number,d.begindate) adate, data from data d join Numbers N ON number between 0 and datediff(d, begindate, enddate) This code fetches a row for every day between the begin date and end date. Then I can group it and find the MIN and MAX for each month. Do you know how to write this in InterSystems Cache? We have a MyAvatar implementation and so I was able to create a multi iteration table after some trouble with numbers 0 to 99. Thanks for any help! I believe I found the answer:SELECT DATEADD("D", "Number", '2017-01-01') FROM Numbers WHERE "Number" BETWEEN 0 AND DATEDIFF("D", '2017-01-01', '2017-04-05') Now I just need to expand my Numbers table. I'm wondering if anyone has a view for this. I'd like a numbers view between 0 and 10000. I think that should be sufficient. Feel free to answer here, but I'll start a new topic.

Guys,Can you please guide me to create a RESTful API in our cache with JSON response. Thanks in advance.Thanks,Arun Kumar Durairaj. Thanks Benjamin. Check out the full tutorial which includes REST API set-up:https://community.intersystems.com/post/lets-write-angular-1x-app-cach%C3%A9-rest-backend-start-here This one is also very useful:Setting Up RESTful Services Ver.02https://learning.intersystems.com/course/view.php?id=776 The advice you have received thusfar has been OK, but the easiest thing to do would be to watch Mike Smart's global summit presentation, which takes you from literally nothing, to having a (nearly) fully fleshed out REST API in a simple case. See that here:https://learning.intersystems.com/course/view.php?id=681If this is your first time working with REST Applications, this is the best place to start. Then, if you'd like, you can continue with an online learning course, where Mike is going to expand on this to include some best practices. Announcement for that is here:https://community.intersystems.com/post/webinar-dec-7-rest-and-relaxation-best-practices-stress-free-restful-developmentHopefully we'll see you there!

About regulations Personal data privacy regulations have become an indispensable requirement for projects dealing with personal data. The compliance with these laws is based on 4 principles: Compliance with the rights of the holder of personal data; Governance of personal data assets; Privacy by Design and by Default; Data protection. In case of violation in the treatment of personal data, controllers and operators of these data may suffer: Fines of up to 4% of revenue or up to €20 million; Shutdown of the digital service until the problem is corrected; Publicity of the incident to the public. Take Action Administrators, developers and managers of data platforms on InterSystems technology can take the following detailed measures to help comply with personal data protection laws. In compliance with the rights of the holder Create APIs using Interoperability IRIS ESB for consumption in a Portal for the end user to exercise their rights. The APIs must allow to the holder: Consult the personal data that the controller keeps about the holder. Allow downloading this query in open format (JSON). Allow the holder to correct personal data. Use the IRIS ESB to record changes on each system where this personal data exists. Implement a consent management service for sharing and processing personal data, especially sensitive data. In the InterSystems Health services the HIPAA is enough. Allow the holder to consult with whom their data has been shared. Build an interoperability service (ESB) with the internal service system to receive requests from the holder. In personal data governance Catalog persistent classes, productions and BI cubes that store or process personal data. Use XData for this. It is necessary to catalog whether it is personal or sensitive data, purpose of processing, technical and business responsible and for how long the data will be stored. Perform good data access management. Manage the data lifecycle by creating a procedure for disposing of data after the legal custody period. Monitor and audit data flows. In privacy by design and by default Architect and design persistent objects or namespaces that deal with personal data with: Create a DPIA (Data Protection Impact Assessment) when deals with sensitive data, high volume data, personal profile production and use of new technologies (Machine Learning); Use managed key encryption to the sensitive data; Use TLS and HTTPS to message channels. Add DevSecOps in your DevOps initiative. Create docker models with security and best practices set by default. Include automated tests to security checks. In Security Protection Create an efficient procedure to backup and restore data. The backup must be cryptographed; Work your environment in a High Availability; Protect your API with IRIS API Management; Protect your persistent objects with good authentication and authorization procedures; Enable logs and use ESB to log end to end the sensitive operations; Create Cybersecurity Guide; Create IT Security Guide; Create Data Privacy Guide.

My VS Code plugin "InterSystems Objectscript" upgraded to version 0.8.7 but the server settings no longer visible in extension settings and can no longer connect to our InterSystems server. What has chnaged and how do we set the server connectio up? I checked the JSON file and it still has the settings as it was before but it is not connecting. Screenshot of the settings json and then on the left a timer icon on the InterSystems icon and blue line running from left to right at top as it tries to conenct to server. I downgraded to version 0.8.6 setup settings again as before and it connects, there is nothing wrong with my connection to the server, it is the extension. I don't see the value for port, could you set it as well, and check again? For the next time, the best place to post about issues you faced is issues page right in the repository I had that happen with mine, where the port AND namespace completely disappeared from the connection objects. I had to add both back in at the lowest level, then close VSCode and re-open it for the changes to take effect. (Closing the Workspace probably also would work). (I also installed the IS Server manager extension before checking the ObjectScript tab. I don't think that changed anything, but mentioning it just in case.) I wonder why we can't edit the connection settings directly from the extension settings themselves anymore, but I guess that's a question for the repo.

AWS has officially released their second-generation Arm-based Graviton2 processors and associated Amazon EC2 M6g instance type, which boasts up to 40% better price performance over current generation Intel Xeon based M5 instances. A few months ago, InterSystems participated in the M6g preview program, and we ran a few benchmarks with InterSystems IRIS that showed compelling results. This led us to support ARM64 architectures for the first time. Now you can try InterSystems IRIS and InterSystems IRIS for Health on Graviton2-based Amazon EC2 M6g instances for yourselves through the AWS Marketplace! If you’re unfamiliar with launching an instance through the AWS Marketplace, let’s walk through setting it up. First make sure that you’re logged into your AWS Account, then navigate to the AWS Marketplace listing for InterSystems IRIS and click ‘Continue to Subscribe’ Click ‘Accept Terms’ to subscribe, wait for a minute, and then ‘Continue to Configuration’ You can accept the defaults, and ‘Continue to Launch’ On the Launch page, make sure to select an m6g instance type, such as m6g.large Scroll down, and make sure to select a valid key pair, or follow the link to create a new one if you don’t already have one. Then select Launch. Now you can navigate to the EC2 console to access your new instance You can name it, access the public IP address below: And SSH into the instance using your private key and host name (ubuntu@<Public-IP-Address>). Here I’m using PuTTY, make sure you point to your private key file (.ppk for PuTTY, under SSH > Auth) For other SSH clients and additional information, please refer to the Usage Instructions copied here: Usage Instructions for IRIS 2020.1(Arm64) Community Edition Getting Started: - SSH into the Ubuntu EC2 instance following the instructions here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/AccessingInstancesLinux.html The default user is "ubuntu" - Make note of the connection information provided in the connection message. - Start by resetting the IRIS password: "$iris password" - Connect your IDE - see: https://www.intersystems.com/developers/ - Learn more with a Quickstart - https://learning.intersystems.com/course/view.php?id=1055&ssoPass=1 - Enter the IRIS terminal directly with $docker exec -it iris iris session iris Additional Resources: Getting Started with InterSystems IRIS - https://gettingstarted.intersystems.com/ InterSystems strives to provide customers with platform freedom of choice. We at InterSystems are very excited to see the performance gains and cost savings that AWS Graviton2 processors can provide to InterSystems IRIS customers. We anticipate that these combined benefits will drive significant adoption of Arm-based platforms among IRIS customers, and we’re thrilled to support InterSystems IRIS running on AWS Graviton2-based M6g EC2 instances!

Hi Community!We try a new approach to the InterSystems Developers YouTube Videos called "Coding Talks"!Coding Talks is a short video in which the developer demonstrates a particular feature or functionality of InterSystems Data Platforms which he/she uses to in coding. Typical format: the face on side and editor with ObjectScript.Check this video I made by myself participating in Advent of Code 2018 and coding with InterSystems ObjectScript in VSCode.Coding Advent of Code 2018 Using InterSystems ObjectScript You're very welcome to share your ideas in the comments of this post!

I have created $zf commands to encrypt/decrypt a file using GNUpg which is working fine in Terminal but not populating output file when I call this from BPL process. Any help would be appreciated!! Terminal works under your OS user, BPL works under InterSystems user (typically irisusr). This type of error is often caused by: IRIS OS user does not have permissions to access the input and/or output file IRIS OS user does not have required executables in PATH IRIS OS user does not have required shared libraries in LD_LIBRARY_PATH To solve issue (1) create input and output files in IRIS Temp directory - a path returned by: write ##class(%File).NormalizeDirectory(##class(%SYS.System).TempDirectory()) To test for issues (2) and (3) add a $zf call which inits all your dependencies and returns version or some other trivia. To adjust PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH use System Management Portal. Here's some info. I recommend checking environment variables from inside your process with: write $SYSTEM.Util.GetEnviron(Name) For quick testing you can adjust environment variables for the current process with this community utiliy.

You have read about **OAuth2** / **OpenID Connect** but you don't know how to use it? Have you ever needed to implement Single Sign-On (SSO) or secure web services based on tokens? Did you have to add authentication / authorization to your web applications or services and you didn't know how to start? What about a step by step example where you can set up an authorization server, a client and a resource server? [Here](https://openexchange.intersystems.com/package/workshop-iris-oauth2) you can find an example where you will configure InterSystems IRIS instances to act as each one of these OAuth2 roles. ## A brief introduction **Authentication** is the process of verifying that users are who they say they are. **Authorization** is the process of giving those users permission to access resources. OAuth is an authorization framework. OpenID Connect (OIDC) is extension to OAuth 2.0 to handle authentication. In OAuth2 there are different roles: * Resource owner — Usually a user. * Resource server — A server that hosts protected data and/or services. * Client — An application that requests limited access to a resource server (e.g. a web application). * Authorization server — A server that is responsible for issuing access tokens, with which the client can access the resource server. OAuth2 uses scopes as a mechanism to limit access. A client can request one or more scopes. Finally, OAuth2 supports different grant types. Each grant type can have a different behaviour which can be better suited for some scenarios. ## What can you test in the example? You can test two different scenarios. One using `Authorization Code` grant type and the other using `Client Credentials`. You will have 3 InterSystems IRIS instances that you will configure to act as each different need OAuth2 role. ### Authorization Code `Authorization Code` is a grant type suited for web / mobile application scenario.  In the example, you will set up a web application as the client who accesses the protected resources using an access token.  ### Client Credentials `Client Credentials` is a different grant type, which typically is used when a client access the resources directly in its own name (and not on behalf of a user).  In the example, you will access the protected resources using Postman as the client.  excellent summary / training resource - thank you for taking the time to put it together!
