#InterSystems IRIS

Is IRIS supports imap to integrate with email server?

In Oracle database, the synonym is an alternative name for objects such as tables, views, sequences, stored procedures, and other database objects.

You generally use synonyms when you are granting access to an object from another schema and you don't want the users to have to worry about knowing which schema owns the object.

Is IRIS SQL sintax has something like this: (oracle sintax)

CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM suppliers
FOR app.suppliers;

This first CREATE SYNONYM example demonstrates how to create a synonym called suppliers.

Hi Community,

See how to build a REST API with InterSystems IRIS in just five minutes, leveraging Docker containers:

⏯ Building a REST API with InterSystems IRIS

Those of you who run and support older-style legacy systems on IRIS may be interested in learning about and trying out a new framework I've built on top of my colleague Chris Munt's mg_web technology (details at https://github.com/chrisemunt/mg_web).

There are quite a few older-style and legacy applications out there whose useful life can be extended by making their functionality available as REST APIs.  To make this something that can be done quickly and easily, using modern, industrial-strength web servers, I've created what I'm calling mgweb-server:

GA releases are now published for the 2020.3 version of InterSystems IRIS, IRIS for Health, with IntegratedML!

This is the first InterSystems IRIS release that includes IntegratedML, a new feature that brings "best of breed" machine learning to analysts and developers via simple and intuitive SQL syntax. Developers can now easily train and deploy powerful predictive models from within IRIS, right where their data lives. Documentation for IntegratedML is available as a User Guide. Virtual Summit 2020 features a number of sessions and an Experience Lab featuring IntegratedML, see overview here.

InterSystems has corrected a defect that may cause Windows Telnet processes that are secured using SSL/TLS to hang indefinitely; this may then cause an instance to become unresponsive. This defect is present only on Windows platforms.

This defect affects:

• Caché and Ensemble 2018.1.4
• HealthShare Health Connect (HSAP) 15.032 built on C/E 2018.1.4
• InterSystems IRIS and InterSystems IRIS for Health 2020.3

The problems caused by this defect can occur only when the instance is running Windows Telnet.

Hi everyone,

I need to call a SOAP service using IRIS Interoperability and this SOAP service returns a Microsoft DataSet with a DiffGrams payload.

Do you know how to handle this kind of Objects ?

Hi Community,

See how to use System Alerting & Monitoring (SAM) to view and customize metrics for a cluster of systems running InterSystems IRIS:

⏯ Viewing & Customizing Metrics with SAM

I have an application with maps that render and edit geographic data in a some layers using KML - geo data represented into XML file with layers, polygnons, points and metadata associated with it. Some maps are in GeoJSON too. 

Is it DocDB the better option?

Hi Team,

What is the difference between Intersystems Cache DB and Intersystems IRIS ? I am looking for Cache DB installation details, but getting IRIS only everywhere.  we are looking for a POC to test it. 

Thanks, 

Kranthi.

How InterSystems solutions handle C10k connections? ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C10k_problem )
For example, I want to create a social network on InterSystems platform.
In the scenario client (browser) => CSP Gateway => Cache can the Cache handle a large number of clients at the same time?
Quick analysis shows that CSP Gateway for each request opens a new TCP connection to Cache SuperServer (port 1972) allocating CSP session and license slot.
SuperServer has no queues or pools, and TCP connections are expensive (in terms of system resources).
Is there any real-world projects or tests/results?
 

As we all well know, InterSystems IRIS has an extensive range of tools for improving the scalability of application systems. In particular, much has been done to facilitate the parallel processing of data, including the use of parallelism in SQL query processing and the most attention-grabbing feature of IRIS: sharding. However, many mature developments that started back in Caché and have been carried over into IRIS actively use the multi-model features of this DBMS, which are understood as allowing the coexistence of different data models within a single database. For example, the HIS qMS database contains both semantic relational (electronic medical records) as well as traditional relational (interaction with PACS) and hierarchical data models (laboratory data and integration with other systems). Most of the listed models are implemented using SP.ARM's qWORD tool (a mini-DBMS that is based on direct access to globals). Therefore, unfortunately, it is not possible to use the new capabilities of parallel query processing for scaling, since these queries do not use IRIS SQL access.

Meanwhile, as the size of the database grows, most of the problems inherent to large relational databases become right for non-relational ones. So, this is a major reason why we are interested in parallel data processing as one of the tools that can be used for scaling.

In this article, I would like to discuss those aspects of parallel data processing that I have been dealing with over the years when solving tasks that are rarely mentioned in discussions of Big Data. I am going to be focusing on the technological transformation of databases, or, rather, technologies for transforming databases.

Hi Community!

We are pleased to invite you to the upcoming webinar in Spanish: "Improving Kubernetes performance", on December 9, at 4:00 PM (CET).

InterSystems Queryable Statement Metadata

Dynamic SQL allows the user to dynamic create, populate and query tables, call procedures and functions, and so on - all without writing any ObjectScript. Of course, this capability is completely normal for xDBC clients. InterSystems Dynamic SQL has been available in Caché for several years and is available in all versions of InterSystems IRIS. What I am about to describe should work for all versions of InterSystems IRIS and for all versions of InterSystems CE that support SQL Table-Valued functions.

Hi Developers!

Want to raise security discussion today!

Let's discuss how InterSystems security for applications works. In general, the concept is clear: we have Resources (what to protect), Roles which combine a set of privileges and accesses to Resources and Users which can have this or that Role.

But there is also a concept of Application which also could have a Role.

So you either provide a Role for a User or for an Application.

What do you use in production? What is your strategy and why? Pros, cons?

Hi community!

Is it possible generate HTML documentation to my project ObjectScript classes (.cls)?

In Java we use Javadoc to do it. Javadoc get class comments and java metadata information and when I execute javadoc -d doc src\*, I get whole html documentation to my classes. Has IRIS something like javadoc? Is it documatic? If yes, how can I use it?

Hello there, 

I am Zainab a Medical Practitioner for a leading hospital in India. 

But i am about to start my new clinic and gradually build it to a hospital as well. 

I already have a very strong patient Data Base but I am afraid that day by day as it is increasing i will need a better one to handle things. 

I have a considerable amount of knowledge in IT as well. that is when I came across this thing called IRIS. 

I also saw we can use it for free. 

I need more details please on this. 

I also see many versions of IRIS. Please clarify that for me as well please. 

Hope someone can help me please.

Hi,

I'm trying to access the categories configuration for the WorkMgr via COS, so I can be able to create new categories for our processes and this way try to overlock the limit of cores*2 workers. I've seen that last version of IRIS is supposed to have a menu on the portal (System Administration > Configuration > System Configuration > WQM Categories), but since we are in 2020.1 this doesn't exist. 

Does anyone have experience with WQM.API to manage the categories, or the usage of ^%SYS("WQM") to set it directly?

Hi Developers,

Hey Developers,

The InterSystems Interoperability Contest is over. Thank you all for participating in our exciting coding marathon!

And now it's time to announce the winners! 

A storm of applause goes to these developers and their applications:

Report about what happened during a test - check Message Bank to see what happened on the instances that received test messages from Feeder
 

I developed Feeder on an IRIS instance while working in development VPC and I configured a Message Bank in a different namespace on the same IRIS instance. I added Feeder.csp and submitted Feeder app to Full Stack contest. I currently refactor the Feeder and Message Bank apps for Interoperability contest and to deploy in another VPC.

Below I show a sample report from development VPC:

NAMESPACE>DO ##class(UnitTest.TestReport).

Greetings!

The application I work with has a need to update a user's google password using a service account and no user intervention other than clicking a link.  
I'm in the process of figuring out how to do that from an IRIS server.
I've set up an OAuth 2.0 client with one client configuration, attempting to follow the documentation in https://community.intersystems.com/post/intersystems-iris-open-authoriz… as much as possible.  
I also set up an SSL configuration to be used with Google.

According IDC, 80% of all data produced are NoSQL. See:

There are digital documents, scanned documents, online and offline texts, blob content into SQL, images, videos and audio. Imagine a Corporate Analytics initiative without all these data to analyze and support decisions?

In all the world, many projects are using techonologies to transform these NoSQL data into textual content, to allows analyze it.

Hi developers!

We introduced a set of bonuses to all the participants of the Interoperability Stack Contest. 

And here is the table of current bonuses accomplishments:

“A Dry Martini”, he said. “One. In a deep champagne goblet.”
“Oui, monsieur.”
“Just a moment. Three measures of Gordons, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it’s ice-cold, then add a large thin slice of lemon peel. Got it?”
"Certainly, monsieur." The barman seemed pleased with the idea.

OAuth helps to separate services with user credentials from “working” databases, both physically and geographically. It thereby strengthens the protection of identification data and, if necessary, helps you comply with the requirements of countries' data protection laws.

With OAuth, you can provide the user with the ability to work safely from multiple devices at once, while "exposing" personal data to various services and applications as little as possible. You can also avoid taking on "excess" data about users of your services (i.e. you can process data in a depersonalized form).
