Hi,

We’re launching an Early Access Program for an upcoming Table Partitioning feature that will help IRIS customers manage very large tables, and distribute row data and associated indices across databases and storage tiers. Table Partitioning cuts deep into the core of IRIS relational data management, so we want to make sure we get things right through working with a few engaged customers who can provide feedback on the initial deliverables, and fine-tune as needed.

Hello Community! As another great year comes to a close, I wanted to notify you about an upcoming change to the vscode-objectscript extension. In an effort to reduce the extension's footprint, simplify maintenance, and improve ease of use, InterSystems plans to remove some rarely-used configuration settings. Our telemetry tells us that these settings are changed from the default by fewer than 2% of users. However, before finalizing the removal I would like to give any users of these settings the opportunity to explain why a setting shouldn't be removed.
