InterSystems IRIS is a Complete Data Platform
InterSystems IRIS gives you everything you need to capture, share, understand, and act upon your organization’s most valuable asset – your data.
As a complete platform, InterSystems IRIS eliminates the need to integrate multiple development technologies. Applications require less code, fewer system resources, and less maintenance.
Hi, everyone!
I want to share a personal project that started with a simple request at work:
Is it's possible to know how many Caché licenses we are using?
Reading other articles here in the community, I found this excellent article by David Loveluck
Hi Everyone!
We are pleased to invite you to the upcoming webinar "Master Data Management and Your Enterprise" on 3rd of September at 11:00 EDT!
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.
To take Serenji for a test drive please visit https://georgejames.com/dc-gitpod
Hi folks,
I started to play with docker and InterSystems products, it's amazing, but I got the error when try to load the IAM-0.34-1-1.tar.gz image to docker:
[root@CONF-RHEL-DOCKER-IRIS-API admconf]# docker load -i IAM-0.34-1-1.tar.gz
open /var/lib/docker/tmp/docker-import-547148651/IAM/json: no such file or directory
Bellow docker and docker-compose version:
[root@CONF-RHEL-DOCKER-IRIS-API admconf]# docker --version
Docker version 19.03.2, build 6a30dfc
I am happy to announce that InterSystems API Manager is now generally available. InterSystems API Manager (IAM) is a new feature of the InterSystems IRIS Data Platform™, enabling you to monitor, control and govern traffic to and from web-based APIs within your IT infrastructure.
InterSystems has corrected a defect in applications that use Unicode character 223 (ß). This defect can result in incomplete query results, class compilation errors, and removal of custom SQL privileges.
This problem occurs on systems that are running or have previously run on:
The defect is triggered by data and component names containing Unicode character 223 (ß). In the versions listed above, an uppercase conversion incorrectly maps that character to Unicode character 7838 (ẞ). Applications perform this uppercase conversion using features such as $ZCONVERT and %SQLUPPER.
Problems can occur when accessing data or classes created or modified on a product with a different uppercase conversion than the one currently in use.
Hi Developers!
Recently we launched InterSystems Package Manager - ZPM. And one of the intentions of the ZPM is to let you package your solution and submit into the ZPM registry to make its deployment as simple as "install your-package" command.
To do that you need to introduce module.xml file into your repository which describes what is your InterSystems IRIS package consists of.
This article describes different parts of module.xml and will help you to craft your own.
I will start from samples-objectscript package, which installs into IRIS the Sample ObjectScript application and could be installed with:
zpm: USER>install samples-objectscript
It is probably the simplest package ever and here is the module.xml which describes the package:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Export generator="Cache" version="25">
<Document name="samples-objectscript.MODULE">
<Module>
<Name>samples-objectscript</Name>
<Version>1.0.0</Version>
<Packaging>module</Packaging>
<SourcesRoot>src</SourcesRoot>
<Resource Name="ObjectScript.PKG"/>
</Module>
</Document>
</Export>
In an ever-changing world, companies must innovate to stay competitive. This ensures that they’ll make decisions with agility and safety, aiming for future results with greater accuracy.
Business Intelligence (BI) tools help companies make intelligent decisions instead of relying on trial and error. These intelligent decisions can make the difference between success and failure in the marketplace.
Microsoft Power BI is one of the industry’s leading business intelligence tools. With just a few clicks, Power BI makes it easy for managers and analysts to explore a company’s data. This is important because when data is easy to access and visualize, it’s much more like it’ll be used to make business decisions.
Why i am receiving more than 20 SHDWCBLK process running background when i try to shadow 5 namespace ?
Hi guys!
Was coding today with InterSystems IRIS in a docker container and decided to share with you the commands you may find useful in everyday coding.
# docker-compose build
command to build a container. Remember, it is useful if you have dockerfile in the repo.
if the build is successful call the following to launch it:
# docker-compose up -d
Find IRIS management portal on:
localhost:port/csp/sys/%25CSP.Portal.Home.zen?$NAMESPACE=%25SYS
where the port is what you set in docker-compose.yml - 52775 in this case.
Run the following if you want to launch a terminal session inside IRIS container:
# docker-compose iris iris session iris gfhj gj sdfdsfsdf USER>
And run the following to shut down the container:
# docker-compose down
Troubleshooting
Hi Team,
When I use below statement , I got SQLCODE=0.
SET rs = ##class(%SQL.Statement).%ExecDirect(, "SELECT * FROM LISDB.ExternalUsers WHERE UserId = 83")
If I display above query using Write (rs.%Display()) it gives me below result but (rs.%Get("Prefix")) method give me null value.

Please help
Hi Everyone,
Are you ready yet? Have you packed all you'll need for the summit? And don't forget the needed power-socket adapters if you come from outside the US!
Have you signed up for the Container Bootcamp on Sunday? Or one of the various Experience Labs, the many informative sessions and one of the symposia on Wednesday afternoon?
Again, there is a mobile app for attendees that should help you keep it all under control and even allow you to book time with InterSystems personnel for a one-on-one deep-dive on whatever you need.
My fantasy didn't go beyond periodically running %SYS.Journal.System:Progress() class query, while I'd prefer to use an event handler of some kind. Any ideas?
Hi Everyone,
New Coding Talk, recorded by @Evgeny Shvarov, is already on InterSystems Developers YouTube:
GitHub Repository Template To Develop and Debug ObjectScript in InterSystems IRIS
ENSTEMP was addressed already some time ago;
Article: Preventing Globals From Getting Journaled (Continued from How do I Minimize My Journals)
and is also in public documentation
Where InterSystems IRIS Stores Temporary Production Data
Though I'd like to understand if this is just naming a non-journaled DB
or are there also typical features of CACHETEMP / IRISTEMP related to it:
In other words is it a 2nd, 3rd, .. fully feature blown IRISTEMP ?
Hi Developers!
InterSystems Package Manager (ZPM) is a great thing, but it is even better if you don't need to install it but can use immediately.
There are several ways how to do this and here is one approach of having IRIS container with ZPM builded with dockerfile.
I've prepared a repository which has a few lines in dockerfile which perform the download and install the latest version of ZPM.
Add these lines to your standard dockerfile for IRIS community edition and you will have ZPM installed and ready to use.
To download the latest ZPM client:
I'm happy to announce the latest Python Gateway release.
This is not an InterSystems product, it is community supported open source project.
Download new release from GitHub.
Now for the new features.
Fast transfer. Pass globals, classes and tables from InterSystems IRIS to Python with ease and speed (10x faster than old QueryExecute). Documentation.
What's the best way to replace character groups?
I want not to remove character groups as $zstrip does but to replace them with whitespaces.
$translate needs explicit character list.
Effectively I want to remove any characters besides letters, numbers and a small (known) subset of punctuation characters, replacing everything else with whitespaces.
Hi Developers!
Often I find questions on how to install IRIS, connect to IRIS from IDE, setup the environment, compile, debug, maintain the repository.
Here below possibly the shortest way to set up all the environment and start development with ObjectScript on InterSystems IRIS.
Prerequisites
Make sure you have Git, Docker, and VSCode installed
Install Docker and ObjectScript extensions into VSCode

Hi all,
I recently discovered the Monitoring Activity Volume feature in IRIS and I was amazed by it. So, I put it to work in one of our productions. It is nice how easy it is to set up and all the possibilites that came with it.
But there's something weird: the numbers. Actually, one of the BP is stating a time of more than 6 seconds to process:

InterSystems Data Platforms products allow you to export and import security settings in two different ways. This article talks about those options:
- On the command line, using ^SECURITY
- Programmatically, using the Export and Import methods of classes in the Security package
You can export everything or individual sections of the security settings.
Hi,
I am implementing free search text box, which can search data in all columns of tables.
I have created DisplayName column by concatinating two column data with space.
SELECT TOP ALL FirstName||' '||LastName AS DisplayName, UserType, IsActive, RoleName, DOB FROM LISDB.ExternalUsersNow, in where condition I want to do like search in DisplayName column but it not working.
I have tried both fn CONCAT and || in like query but both are not working for me.
Hello Everyone,
I want to Know Caché or IRIS has some way to communicate with DDE or RTD from Excel?

Since version 2019.2, InterSystems IRIS has provided their Native API for Python as a high-performance data access method. The Native API allows you to directly interact with the native IRIS data structure.
Preview kits are now published via the WRC's preview download site for:
Code golf is a type of recreational computer programming competition in which participants strive to achieve the shortest possible source code that implements a certain algorithm.
Here's a list of Code Golf competitions we had on Developers Community.
And some interesting challenges:
Did I miss something? Add more challenges in comments.
In this article, we will explore the development of an IRIS client for consuming RESTful API services that have been developed to the OData API standard.
We will be exploring a number of built-in IRIS libraries for making HTTP requests, reading and writing to JSON payloads, and seeing how we can use them in combination to build a generic client adaptor for OData. We will also explore the new JSON adapter for deserializing JSON into persistent objects.
