All pods are assigned a Quality of Service (QoS). These are 3 levels of priority pods are assigned within a node.

The levels are as following:

1) Guaranteed: High Priority

2) Burstable: Medium Priority

3) BestEffort: Low Priority

It is a way of telling the kubelet what your priorities are on a certain node if resources need to be reclaimed. This great GIF below by Anvesh Muppeda explains it.

If resources need to be freed, firstly pods with Best Effort QoS will be evicted, then those with Burstable, and finally those with Guaranteed.

We now get to make use of the IKO.

Below we define the environment we will be creating via a Custom Resource Definition (CRD). It lets us define something outside the realm of what the Kubernetes standard knows (this is objects such as your pods, services, persistent volumes (and claims), configmaps, secrets, and lots more). We are building a new kind of object, an IrisCluster object.

The latest extended maintenance releases of InterSystems IRIS, InterSystems IRIS for Health, and HealthShare Health Connect are now available.

✅ 2024.1.3

Release 2024.1.3 provides bug fixes for any of the previous 2024.1.x releases, including the fix for the following alert recently issued - Alert: Invalid Data Introduced to Database and Journal files with Specific.

InterSystems has corrected a defect that causes invalid database and journal records to be introduced when using a specific $LIST syntax. The likelihood of encountering this defect is very low but the operational impacts can be significant.

Products Affected

• InterSystems IRIS® data platform: Versions 2023.3, 2024.1.0, 2024.1.1, 2024.1.2, 2024.2, 2024.3
• InterSystems IRIS® for Health: Versions 2023.3, 2024.1.0, 2024.1.1, 2024.1.2, 2024.2, 2024.3
• HealthShare® Health Connect: Versions 2023.3.0, 2024.1, 2024.1.1, 2024.1.2, 2024.2, 2024.3
• HealthShare® Unified Care Record and Suite: Version 2024.

The InterSystems platforms have always offered dynamic documentation of the packages and classes in a namespace, a feature known informally as Documatic. But what if you need to publish this class reference information on a website without requiring the site to be connected to an IRIS server containing the actual classes?

For my entry to the December 2024 Developer Community “Bringing Ideas to Reality” contest I decided to implement the idea of a generator that produces a static set of class reference pages .

Who do we report Documentation issues to?

Since moving to the new format, when searching for things within the documentation I get a blank screen with no results.

When I type in my search criteria, I can see it trying to find results but does not return results.

This does not seem like it is limited to a certain Web Browser, as I have seen this happen in Chrome and Edge

Thanks

Problems with Strings

I am accessing IRIS databases with JDBC (or ODBC) using Python. I want to fetch the data into a pandas dataframe to manipulate the data and create charts from it. I ran into a problem with string handling while using JDBC. This post is to help if anyone else has the same issues. Or, if there is an easier way to solve this, let me know in the comments!

I am using OSX, so I am unsure how unique my problem is. I am using Jupyter Notebooks, although the code would generally be the same if you used any other Python program or framework.

For those of you who still use the Studio IDE for ObjectScript programming and are going through the process of migrating to VS Code, did you know there's a section in the VS Code documentation just for you? Have a look at the Migrating from Studio chapter. It covers:

• Server-side editing and source control
• Studio projects
• Importing server definitions from the Windows Registry
• Loading Studio snippets and syntax colors

And now there's a new section, Keyboard Shortcuts, that shows you the VS Code equivalent for shortcuts you may be used to, so your hands never have to leave the keyboard.

Say I want to uninstall the IKO - all I need to do is:

> helm uninstall intersystems

What happens behind the scenes is that helm will uninstall what was installed when you ran :

> helm install intersystems <relative/path/to/iris-operator>

In some sense - this is symmetric to when we ran install - however with a different image.

You'll notice that when you install, it knows what image to take from:

operator:
  registry: containers.intersystems.com
  repository: intersystems/iris-operator-amd
  tag: 3.713.

Hi Community,

We're pleased to invite you to the upcoming webinar in Hebrew:

👉 Maximize Your Success with InterSystems Support 👈

📅 Date & time: May 21st, 3:30 PM IDT

Hi all,

As part of the InterSystems Solutionathon we would like to distribute a very quick survey on your thoughts on using AI-driven code documentation for ObjectScript.

https://forms.office.com/r/nSGevGpbTy

Please let us know if you have any further questions!

We are excited to announce a new part of InterSystems documentation that makes it easier to upgrade InterSystems IRIS® data platform, InterSystems IRIS® for Health™, or HealthShare® Health Connect. The Upgrade Impact Checklist at https://docs.intersystems.com/upgrade shows you all the things you need to consider – and only the things you need to consider – in an upgrade between any two versions.

With the world (as well as our own technology) moving to the cloud at such a fast pace it is easy (at least for myself) to get caught up in the little details. One thing I, and some clients of ours, had run into a couple of times was the necessity to specify the version of the images one plans to use with the IKO.

For example, one issue that often gets overlooked is the compatibilityVersion field for the IKO. Depending on which IKO you are using there is a default value (for IKO 3.6 this happens to be 2023.2.0, and for IKO 3.5 this is 2022.3.0).

I had attempted to create a REST Operation before but did not have success. As I am going through the Tutorials and Documentation everything references REST services, but I have a case where I want to create a REST Operation that makes Epic API calls against Interconnect. I have done SOAP operations before and we currently have one in our Production Namespace, but from what I understand SOAP has the wsdl which defines al the structures and etc, where REST does not. 

So how does one go about creating a REST Operation if Learning Tutorials and Documentation always talks about REST services?

An interim idea to bring more dark to the docs with different font.

Process:

• In Firefox web browser address bar navigate to: "about:support"
• Look for label "Profile Folder", and click on the corresponding "Open Folder" button.
• Drill-down / Open sub-folder called Chrome.
• Create file here called: userContent.css

Content of file:

Effective May 16, documentation for versions of InterSystems Caché® and InterSystems Ensemble® prior to 2017.1 will only be available in PDF format on the InterSystems documentation website. Local instances of these versions will continue to present content dynamically.

Hi Community,

I am new to ensemble development, Can anyone share me few basic Concepts which will be helpful for Converting JSON message to other message types like HL7,XML 

Thanks,

Joe

Looking at the documentation, I see that the global ^ROUTINE brings the information and code of the .INT version of the routines. However, I would like to know where the equivalent information of the .MAC version is, as I did not find any reference to this in the documentation.
Some information in the .MAC version are hidden or already converted into the .INT version, and I would like to have access to this information through the system, and not just opening the routine in the studio.

Good Morning All!

We would like to add our custom reporting with the IRIS database which is running on IDX at client server. Would need a technical documents which allow us to review the tables and its definitions. I tried to install ODBC but it not showing the schema of all tables.

Looks like someone's been messing with the style sheets ...I've tried Edge, Chrome and Firefox and for all the versions I've checked, the class docs are formatted like this:

Hi

Can someone point me in the direction of documentation that shows the security standards(ISO) certification for the Clinical Viewer.

The Documentation team in InterSystems Learning Services is happy to announce the new InterSystems IRIS Server Migration Guide!

Have you ever wanted to copy, move, or clone an instance of InterSystems IRIS to a new server? Maybe the operating system on the old server is no longer supported, or maybe you want to add a new member to an existing mirror. Migrating your application databases is easy, but what about your tasks, users, roles, resources, and other security settings? What do you need to migrate, and how best to do it?

Hi folks!

While browsing tables in Management Portal is there an easy way to open a related class (e.g. to see its documentation)?

There is a Documentation dropdown but the Class Documentation button is disabled.

Thanks!

Hi Developers!

InterSystems IRIS online documentation is temporarily available here.

UPD: https://docs.intersystems.com/ is available.

https://docs.intersystems.com is not working 

HI,

docs.intersystems.com 

has been down for almost a week now.

Do we have any update as to when it will be back up?
 

Hi Community,

In the past, technical documentation of the source code and software products was generated in chm, pdf files and documentation generators of the programming languages themselves. This old approach had the following limitations:
1. Outdated documentation;
2. Non-interactive and difficult to consult documentation;
3. Layout unresponsive, unfriendly and not adherent to HTML;
4. Inability to customize the layout of the documentation;
5. Inability to have HTML 5 documentation online and offline.
6. Lack of Markdown support.

Hello Developer Community!

We are looking to better understand how our users use the Documentation. If you have a few minutes, please fill out this quick survey - https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/HK7F5P7!
