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.

InterSystems Official Benjamin De Boe · Apr 8, 2021

GA releases are now available for the 2020.4 version of InterSystems IRIS, InterSystems IRIS for Health and InterSystems IRIS Studio.

InterSystems IRIS Data Platform 2020.4 makes it even easier to develop, deploy and manage augmented applications and business processes that bridge data and application silos. It has many new capabilities including:

Enhancements for application and interface developers, including:

  • Support for Java SE 11 LTS, both when using Oracle OpenJDK and AdoptOpenJDK
  • Support for Connection Pooling for JDBC
  • A new "foreach" action in routing rules for segmented virtual

Testing ECP-based applications often take quite some effort for setup and preparation.
I have created a Docker-based workbench that allows you to have it quick at hands.
And if you crash it? You just give your containers a fresh start.
The whole setup runs code-based during the start-up of your instance.
In that sense, it is also a portable coding example using ZPM and the objectscript-docker-template

Hey everyone.

I have been revisiting our backup strategy, and spotted that IRIS supports VSS (Volume Shadow Copy Service) in Windows. This is quite attractive as an approach, as it automatically calls the external freeze and thaw commands.

However when calling these manually, there's quite a few parameters that can be set, and the documentation around VSS only states that the freeze/thaw commands are called.

Is there a way of controlling the parameters used, or at the very least know what the defaults are?

Also, does the backup history also get updated automatically, or would this need to

I'm looking for a way to have an IRIS db distributed over several (hw) drives.  
Without touching the internal data structures (e.g. mapping) !  
Are there any options in file systems to achieve this "splitting" or "appending" ? 

Historic background:

  • Once upon a time CPUs worked on 32 bit
  • Files could mostly not be larger than 2 GB
  • And Caché had a (forgotten) option to EXTEND a db to a next file of another 2 GB max. and a next ...

This EXTENT was excellently suited to move fresh and active data
to a faster spindle for more performance.

What is Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI)?

Attempts to find a “bullet-proof” definition have not produced result: it seems like the term is slightly “ahead of time”. Still, we can analyze semantically the term itself – deriving that distributed artificial intelligence is the same AI (see our effort to suggest an “applied” definition) though partitioned across several computers that are not clustered together (neither data-wise, nor via applications, not by providing access to particular computers in principle). I.e., ideally, distributed artificial intelligence should be arranged in such a way that none of the computers participating in that “distribution” have direct access to data nor applications of another computer: the only alternative becomes transmission of data samples and executable scripts via “transparent” messaging. Any deviations from that ideal should lead to an advent of “partially distributed artificial intelligence” – an example being distributed data with a central application server. Or its inverse. One way or the other, we obtain as a result a set of “federated” models (i.e., either models trained each on their own data sources, or each trained by their own algorithms, or “both at once”).

The InterSystems IRIS can be extended using Java or .NET components and its frameworks inside Object Script source code.

I created an application called OCR Service. It built with Docker and installs Google Tesseract inside docker instance configured with english and portuguese dialects, but is possible install more than other 100 dialects. Google Tesseract can receive images and return text extracted from it, using OCR. The results are very good with the trained dialects. But you can train Tesseract to read car plates and any other textual patterns and load it to extract text. Java has a fra

In Studio you could open a class directly via it's name, without having to traverse the package tree with multiple clicks until arriving at the desired class.

You would Ctrl + O or (File -> Open) and be able to simply type in the class name, for example:

You press Enter, and viola - the class is opened.

How do you achieve this in VSCode?

Keyword: Pandas DataFrame, IRIS, Python, JDBC

Purpose

Pandas DataFrame is popular tool for EDA (Exploratory Data Analysis). In ML tasks, the first thing we usually perform is to understand the data a bit more. Last week I was trying this Covid19 dataset in Kaggle. Basically the data is a spreadsheet of 1925 encounter rows with 231 columns, and the task is simply to predict whether a patient (linked to  1 or more encounter records) would be admitted to ICU. So it's a normal classification task, and we would as usual use padas.DataFrame to take a quick look first.  

We have IRIS IntegrtedML n

ZPM-Registry – is the package registry for the ZPM package manager.

As you probably know, the ZPM package manager is configured by default to work with the public community registry https://pm.community.intersystems.com/, which currently has more than 150 packages published.
You can install and configure your own registry for use in your organization.

Starting from version 1.1.2, zpm-registry includes the Proxy feature.
Now you can link your own registry to another (for example, the public registry of the community).

 

This allows to install packages from your private registry only but at t

Hi!

I need to know how long time a message has been in a possible queue before our business service starts handling the message. Is it possible to read with objectscript or another way?

The business service is an EnsLib.SOAP.Service

Grateful for answers

Greetings Michael
