Class Queries in InterSystems IRIS (and Cache, Ensemble, HealthShare) is a useful tool that separates SQL queries from Object Script code. Basically, it works like this: suppose that you want to use the same SQL query with different arguments in several different places.In this case you can avoid code duplication by declaring the query body as a class query and then calling this query by name.
Right now version 2.0 is like an aircraft at the start of the runway (remember those days before COVID-19?), waiting for the control tower to give final clearance. Will you be an early adopter, downloading the VSIX from GitHub, installing it into your VS Code, and posting back here to confirm that we haven't left anything critical behind at the gate? Then I'll push the throttles forward, publish to Marketplace, and we'll all be on our way.
Server Manager 2.0 is my entry for the current contest. If you like it maybe you'll vote for me it.
This Utility creates an xlsx file with the file name provided. There are mutliple ways to write data to it, I am retrieving it via Sql queries in this example.
I am glad to say that VSCode-ObjectScript reached 4000 installs. Thanks to all of you who use it in their work.

June 16, 2021 - Advisory: Discontinued Technologies and Features
Note: A previous version of this advisory listed Caché Server Pages as a deprecated technology. Caché Server Pages is not deprecated and is fully supported.
We at George James Software are pleased to announce the release of version 2.6 of Serenji, our editor and debugger for Caché, Ensemble and HealthShare.
The main enhancement in 2.6 is the ability to run on a Linux <edit> or OS X </edit> workstation using Wine 1.8. More release details are here.
InterSystems has identified an issue with product distributions containing Certificate Authority certificates that expire at the end of 2020. This issue does not affect system operation or system security in any way, although it does generate alerts about expiring certificates in the cconsole.log or messages.log files.
Announcing Deltanji 6.0, the latest version of the well-respected George James Software source control product formerly known as VC/m.
Deltanji comes in four editions, including Solo which is quick to install on Caché or Ensemble (2009.1 or later), easy to get started with, and perpetually free.
Deltanji runs within the environment whose code it is managing, integrating closely with Studio and Portal, and storing code versions in a CACHE.DAT database.
Starting in March 2020, Microsoft plans to release a series of security updates that will cause Windows Active Directory (AD) servers to reject unencrypted simple binds.
In time for InterSystems Global Summit 2019 we at George James Software are pleased to offer a cloud-hosted evaluation environment where you can work with Serenji in Visual Studio Code, editing and debugging ObjectScript in a sandbox running InterSystems IRIS 2019.3 Community edition.
You can do it all from your web browser. Nothing will be installed on your workstation, nor will any settings have to be changed on it.
