#InterSystems IRIS

I want to convert the image to base64.

I have only a remote image URL.

please suggest the solution with allow cors origin.

gj :: connect is a demonstration extension that shows how to extend the Intersystems Server Manager to perform custom actions.

It makes use of the context menu contribution points to add both in-line and right click menu options.

It also demonstrates how to create a new top level folder in your workspace corresponding to the server and namespace selected in Server Manager.

You may think it isn’t too difficult to get from label+offset^routine to the actual source line responsible for the error.  For an expert it isn't that hard... most of the time.  But there are enough oddities and special rules that even an expert can get it wrong, whilst spending a lot of time trying to get there.

gj :: locate is the latest tool from George James Software – it debugs any error, class or routine by converting the location of an error in compiled .int code to the corresponding location in your source, and then taking you right there.

Image this scenario…

Hey Developers,

You asked - we did it! We're glad to announce the next competition for InterSystems Developers! Please welcome: 

🏆 InterSystems Programming Contest: Developer Tools 🏆

Submit an application that helps to develop faster, contribute more qualitative code, helps in testing, deployment, support, or monitoring of your solution with InterSystems IRIS.

Duration: March 29 - April 25, 2021

Total prize: $8,500 

Greetings all,

Need to connect your VSCode to an InterSystems Server?

Heard of this option?

Hi Developers,

In the previous article, we describe how to use config-api to configure IRIS.

Now, let's try to combine the library with the ZPM client.
The goal is to load a configuration document during zpm install at the configure phase.

For this exercise, a template repository is available here (this is based on objectscript-docker-template ).

We attempt to :

• Create a database MYAPPDATA.
• Set Globals mapping for dc.PackageSample.*.
• Add a user named SQLUserRO with read-only SQL role access.
• Add an SSL Configuration named SSLAppDefault.
• Create a REST application /rest/myapp.

Some changes in IRIS configuration require a restart of IRIS.
This is no big issue as long as I have access to the server command line with sufficient privileges.
In a container, this is not always given.
Stopping IRIS from the terminal/session prompt is no problem.
But the restart after is.  

Note1: container start-stop is no option as it might be removed by option --rm in docker run
Note2: the target is linux (manly in docker).  Windows is excluded

GitHub

When you have more than ten thousand users in your database, it becomes time-consuming and inconvenient to assign group access rights through the standard IRIS interface. In this artilce I want to introduce you an application to automate this process.

I’ll show you how to assign and change the role lists for the users, selecting them by context, and I will also show you how to expand this application’s functionality. you know how to apply your work as an administrator and developer to the new features of the well-proven apptools software complex. With the addition of an adminLTE template, you can now quickly and easily create interface interactions for any entity and many functional modules. The goal while developing this toolkit is to write as little JavaScript as possible as well as transfer and implement all the dynamics as much as possible in the ObjectScript.

Hi Developers,

Please welcome the new video specially recorded for Developer Tools programming contest: 

⏯ Deploying InterSystems IRIS docker solutions to GKE cloud in 5 minutes

Hi folks!

Often while debugging you want to know the values of all the parameters.

Using VSCode Debugger is not an option.

What do you use to know what parameters came to the method?

My hope if you have a "magic" macro that will store all the variables with their names into a global?

And share your approaches, please?

We released a new version of ZPM (Package Manager)

New in ZPM 0.2.14 release:

• Publishing timeout
• Embedded vars usage in module parameters
• Package installation from Github repo
• Transaction support for install, load and publish.

See the details below.

greetings Community!

InterSystems Learning Services is working to identify and create libraries of high-quality learning resources for third-party technologies, platforms, and systems that are part of, integrated with, or commonly used with InterSystems products and technologies. we don't create content for these ourselves, but want to support our clients, external and internal, in learning about them and how to use them.

Hi,

We need to implement Oauth2 Code Flow + PKCE. Any experience with InterSystems OAuth2 Server on this would be welcome.
What parameters did you setup on OAuth 2 server configuration page  to make it work?

Thanks!

We are looking at moving from Cache to IRIS, if we do this we will want to use Intersystems Reports.  We have a lot of Crystal Reports to convert.  is there a conversion tool or best practice for doing the conversion 

Hi Community,

I see the announcement https://www.intersystems.com/news-events/news/news-item/intersystems-ir…. But I didn't find in the AWS marketplace. Do you know where find this option?

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.

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

I'm almost running out of disk space so I want to move 1 DB to a different hard drive.  
It's a rather simple but lengthy action during a shutdown of IRIS.  
But is this somehow possible under runtime in a stand-alone installation?  
I'm looking for kind of a "local drive failover"  
note: Mirror or Shadow is not an option.  

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?

Ever noticed that the Type column of the Web Applications page in the Security section of Management Portal is showing you redundant information?

Hi All!

Examining the page here I see we have one-to-many and parent-child relationships supported in the InterSystems Objects model.

Do we support one-to-one too?

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.
 

After running an extensive block of daily statistics my IRISTEMP has expanded dramatically.   
But FreeSpace shows 97% unused and FREE space.   
How can I shrink IRISTEMP in runtime without shutdown and manual intervention
(which was the traditional approach)

Hi guys,

I've created an iris command line utility to interface the Linux command line with Interface IRIS

Hello, in a zen page sometimes I find document.getElementbyId("ID") to set a propertybut also zen("ID").setPr.... So what is the real difference and limitations of each?

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”).

InterSystems IRIS 2019.1 has been out for a while and I would like to cover some enhancements for handling JSON which might have gone unnoticed. Dealing with JSON as a serialization format is an important part of building modern applications, especially when you interact with REST endpoints.

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.
