#InterSystems IRIS

Migration from Caché to IRIS can be quite a challenge if your code is grown over many years
and probably not so clean structured as you may like it. So you face the need to check your
migrated code against some reference data. A few samples might not be a problem,
but some hundred GB of data for testing might be.  

A possible step could be to have your fresh code in IRIS but leave your huge datastore on Caché and connect both environments over ECP.  I have created a demo project that gives you the opportunity to try this based on 2 Docker images with IRIS and with Caché connected over ECP.

Hey Developers,

This week is a voting week for the InterSystems Grand Prix Contest! So, it's time to give your vote to the best solutions built with InterSystems IRIS.

How to vote and what's new?

I can't find a case of spark or Kafka connecting to InterSystems Iris on the Internet. Are there any related resources  can share?

Hi Developers!

Thank you for using ZPM Package Manager and contributing more and more useful packages to the public registry!

But as you already aware ZPM packages are always deployed with source code.

Do you think we need to add the option to deploy without source code - e.g. if you want to deploy a commercial package?

Will you develop commercial modules if there will be an option and deploy it with ZPM?

How do you deploy commercial applications today?

Hi all,

I'm trying to access via JDBC my community installation but the connection is always rejected. The same code (python code) using the stand-alone version of Intersystems IRIS works fine.

Is the community edition limited in this case? I can't see it in the official documentation: https://irisdocs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Pag…

Organizations around the world lose an estimated five percent of their annual revenues to fraud, according to a survey of Certified Fraud Examiners (CFEs) who investigated cases between January 2010 and December 2011. Applied to the estimated 2011 Gross World Product, this figure translates to a potential total fraud loss of more than $3.5 trillion (source: https://www.acfe.com/press-release.aspx?id=4294973129).

The most efficient way to reduce frauds is to collect and unify the transactions, assets and target data to identify patterns, produce anti fraud reports and algorithms to validate the

The purpose of this article is to explain how the Interoperability menu works for system integration.

The left side of the figure is the window for accepting information sent from external systems.

There are various ways to receive information, such as monitoring the specified directory at regular intervals to read files, periodically querying the database, waiting for input, or directly calling and having it passed from applications in other systems.

In the system integration mechanism created in the IRIS Interoperability menu, the received

This article is a continuation of this post.

In the previous article, how the Interoperability menu works for system integration was explained.

In this article, I would like to explain how to develop a system integration using the Interoperability menu.

To begin with, what kind of process do you want to create? While thinking about this, make the following content.

• Production
• Message
• Components
  • Business Services
  • Business Processes
  • Business Operations

Production is a definition used to specify the components required for system integration and to store the component settings, which are

This article is a follow-up to this post.

In the previous article, [What is a Production?], we checked the production contents. We ran the sample code and checked the flowing messages' contents into the production on the Visual Trace page.

This article will review the concept and the definition of the messages used to send and receive data between components from the required development content for system integration.

• Production[ previous post ]
• Message
• Components
  • Business Services
  • Business Processes
  • Business Operations

Before creating a message, let's review the case study.

In the previous article, we reviewed how to create and define messages used to send and receive data between components.

In this article, I will explain how to create a business operation from the component creation methods.

• Production
• Message（previous article）
• Components
  • Business Services
  • Business Processes
  • Business Operations

We will quickly check the code by referring to the sample.。

This article is a continuation of this post.

In the previous article, we discussed business operations' creation from the components required for system integration.

In this article, you will learn how to create a business process that calls the two business operations you have defined in the sequence order.

• Production
• Message
• Components
  • Business Services
  • Business Processes
  • Business Operations (previous post)

The business process acts as the coordinator (command center) of the process.

The processing adjustments you may want to implement in the sample include the following:

Step 1: Provide

This article is a continuation of this post.

In the previous article, we discussed the development of business processes, which are part of the components required for system integration and serve as a production coordinator.

This article will discuss creating a business service, which is the information input window for production.

• Production
• Message
• Components
  • Business services
  • Business processes（previous post）
  • Business operation

And finally, the last component of “Let's Use Interoperability!”

The business service provides a window of input for information sent from outside IRIS, with or

I finished my participation in the Developing with InterSystems Objects and SQL with Joel Solon. The course is very nice and I will share with you some tips I got during this the training final day. Tips presented in the day 5:

1. %SYSTEM package has general utiliy classes. Use $system.class.Help() to list the utilities. The main %SYSTEM classes are Encryption (industry encryption methods), OBJ to manage classes and objects, Security for security methods and SQL to use SQL language.
2. IRIS allows validation to the properties and arguments using MINVAL and MAXVAL to integer, FORMAT to date and

How to vote?

There's been quite a bit of discussion lately in this forum on the tools available in IRIS for using both XML and JSON, and debate on cross-conversion between the two formats.

A week or so ago I posted details of a set of tutorials I'd put together on integrating the Node.js-based QEWD technology with IRIS, working over a network. As part of that set of tutorials, I've been detailing how to use the various multi-model capabilities of the build-in QEWD-JSdb abstraction of IRIS.

New Tool Available

Please see PerfTools IO Test Suite for a later version of the Random Read IO tool.

Purpose

This tool is used to generate random read Input/Output (IO) from within the database. The goal of this tool is to drive as many jobs as possible to achieve target IOPS and ensure acceptable disk response times are sustained. Results gathered from the IO tests will vary from configuration to configuration based on the IO sub-system. Before running these tests ensure corresponding operating system and storage level monitoring are configured to capture IO performance metrics for later analysis.

Hi Developers!

We had a set of technology bonuses for the InterSystems Grand Prix contest.

And here is how projects collected it:

Good day, developers!

The "apptools-admin" project is not only a set of tools for the administrator, but a platform for the rapid creation of a prototype of any solution. For example, Photo Album, Music Player, and Personal Library all come together in a user-friendly treasure chest design.

Hi folks!

Sometimes when we develop a mockup or PoC there is a need for a simple interface that will provide data in IRIS in JSON against SQL queries.

And recently I contributed a simple module that does exactly that:

accepts SQL string and returns the JSON.

How to install? Just call:

zpm "install sql-rest"

If you install it in a namespace X it will setup a /sql endpoint to your system that will accept POST requests with SQL string and will return the result for you for the data available in the namespace X.

Hotel Overbooking in hospitality industry

This is the first InterStstems  programming contest that we participated in! Come check out and vote for us!

The overbooking management system combines the unique conditions of the hotel, such as room prices, order channels, customer needs (etc...). System uses machine learning algorithms (such as: KNN/ES-RNN...) to accurately predict the daily no-show and occupancy rate of the hotel, and further combines with the revenue equation to find the best largest room sales volume, which can significantly increase the hotel marginal revenue.

InterSystems API Management (IAM) - a new feature of the InterSystems IRIS Data Platform, enables you to monitor, control and govern traffic to and from web-based APIs within your IT infrastructure. In case you missed it, here is the link to the announcement. And here's an article explaining how to start working with IAM.

In this article, we would use InterSystems API Management to Load Balance an API.

In our case, we have 2 InterSystems IRIS instances with /api/atelier REST API that we want to publish for our clients.

There are many different reasons why we might want to do that, such as:

• Load balancing to spread the workload across servers
• Blue-green deployment: we have two servers, one "prod", other "dev" and we might want to switch between them
• Canary deployment: we might publish the new version only on one server and move 1% of clients there
• High availability configuration
• etc.
