#InterSystems IRIS

Hey Developers,

The InterSystems Multi-Model 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:

Hey Community,

We're pleased to invite you to the InterSystems AI+ML Summit 2021, which will be held virtually from January 25 to February 4! Join us for a two-week event that ranges from thought leadership to technical sessions and even 1:1 “Ask the Expert” sessions. 

The sessions will be in both German and English. And this summit is free to attend!

See details below:

Hi,

When wanting to use VS-Code for server-side editing.. - In VS-code I can right click on a server item (eg a class) to see a set of menu options including 'Server Source Control... ' and 'Server Command Menu...' at the bottom.

I noticed that these options are somewhat connected to my server-side source control hooks class that inherits from %Studio.SourceControl.Base, however, I am seeing different behavior between my custom subclass of this, and, the provided %Atelier.SourceControl subclass.

How should the subclass of %Studio.SourceControl.

Hi Community,

As you may know, this year we're holding InterSystems AI+ML Summit 2021 virtually from January 25 to February 4. All sessions, both in German and English, will be free to attend.

Let's find out more about the exciting sessions that await us and book a virtual seat today!

Hi,How to specify column name (ddl)?

I cannot find those folders under my IRIS install dev folder.  Those were in my cache install dev folder.

Will InterSystems drop those support?  If yes, why are there some discussion about Python/Iris in this forum?

Of course, I wish IS continue to support those.

The pandemic that struck the world in 2020 made everyone follow the news and the numbers that involve the COVID-19.

Why don’t you take that opportunity to create something simple and pleasant, to follow the number of vaccinations worldwide?

To face this challenge, I'm using the data provided by Our World in Data - Research and data to make progress against the world’s largest problems.

They have a dedicated repository on Github with the data of COVID-19, and I took the vaccination data to help me with my tracker.

If you didn't know the guys, check it out, it well worth your time.

ZPM is a fantastic package management product. I have 7 apps published and these apps not using zpm because it need install external products using apt-get install.

Is it possible do apt-get install using ZPM?

I've submitted what I've called qewd-jsdb-kit-iris to the Multi-model competition - it's a suite of applications and tutorials that demonstrate how IRIS Global Storage is used to provide the unique Node.

How use column (auto_increment)?

Hi All,

I'm starting to use VSCode for most of my day to day stuff and there's something that has me stumped. Is there a way to override a method or property that's inherited from a superclass?

Hello fellow community members,

I would like to offer my services as an Intersystems Professional and am available to work on projects. 

I have more than a decade experience into  Intersystems stack of technologies including IRIS, Ensemble, Healthshare, Healthconnect, Cache Objectscript, Mumps, Zen, Analytics etc. with companies spread over US and UK  involved in multiple domains.

How set (studio) drak theme?

There is no prompt for studio to write code

Hi Developers!

Here're the technology bonuses for the InterSystems Multi-Model Contest that will give you extra points in the voting:

• InterSystems Globals (key-value)
• InterSystems SQL
• InterSystems Objects 
• Your data model
• ZPM Package deployment
• Docker container usage

See the details below.

Hi colleagues!

Every day Johns Hopkins University publishes new data on coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic status.

I built a simple InterSystems IRIS Analytics dashboard using InterSystems IRIS Community Edition in docker deployed on GCP Kubernetes which shows key measures of the disease outbreak.

This dashboard is an example of how information from CSV could be analyzed with IRIS Analytics and deployed to GCP Kubernetes in a form of InterSystems IRIS Community Edition.

Added the interactive map of the USA:

Hi,

I don't like the default terminal very much because it can't change the window size freely.

How to use CMD or PowerShell?

Hi Community,

Please welcome the new video on InterSystems Developers YouTube:

⏯ Extending Interoperability with PEX & Containers

Hi,

I'm a novice. I don't know much about object script. Can he write an(Windows10) EXE file?

Hello, developers!

I would like to share the history of the project - the ZAPM shell.

As soon as ZPM was implemented, I immediately began to think about how best to use it.

And immediately faced with the desire to move more quickly between namespaces, especially when there are more than 20 of them. I had to leave the ZPM, move to the desired namespace and re-enter the shell. I suggested an improvement - a new "namespace" command for easier navigation. I didn’t wait - I did it myself. And so it went. If you need it, get ready to do it yourself.

The ObjectScript language of InterSystems IRIS has a very powerful metadata engine called XData. This feature allows the creation of metadata definitions for your classes, to be used by the compiler or by programs that will extend the standard features of the language, based on the XData definitions of its scope.

An example is IRIS Publisher, an Open Source application from the community capable of collecting all XData definitions in HTML and / or Markdown format and generating a Web Portal with all the application documentation assembled from these XData elements.

 Hi, 

Is there a database gui tool?  like nactive?

Hi developers!

Often we need to deploy some data along with code pieces of the application.

And for InterSystems IRIS developers the question could sound: "How can I deploy the data I have in globals?"

Here I want to suggest to you one of the approaches - deploying global data using the ZPM package manager.

Hi developers!

Sometimes we need to test this or that library, framework, or function vs some dataset. And often we want to deal with some meaningful data.

Recently I added two very simple but meaningful datasets that could be installed with one line.

Titanic Dataset

Application

Contains 800+ records about passengers from the famous cruise liner. The dataset could be installed with:

zpm "install dataset-titanic"

This installs one class dc.data.Titanic with 800+ records.

Countries dataset

Application

The dataset contains data about 167 countries such as population, surface, capital, the average life expectancy. The dataset could be installed as:

zpm "install dataset-countries"

This installs one class dc.data.Countries and the global with data.

Hey Developers!

We're pleased to announce the next competition of creating open-source solutions using InterSystems IRIS! Please welcome:

⚡️ InterSystems Multi-Model Contest ⚡️

Duration: January 11-31, 2021

While the integrity of Caché and InterSystems IRIS databases is completely protected from the consequences of system failure, physical storage devices do fail in ways that corrupt the data they store.  For that reason, many sites choose to run regular database integrity checks, particularly in coordination with backups to validate that a given backup could be relied upon in a disaster.  Integrity check may also be acutely needed by the system administrator in response to a disaster involving storage corruption.

I have been using the 

"in": "PATH"

parameter type for at least a year and was working fine for my GET requests.

Now, since this new version, it has stopped compiling. Does someone know why and what's the workaround to make a request like this work

/getmethod/getparam

In the previous article, we looked at one way to create a custom operator that manages the IRIS instance state. This time, we’re going to take a look at a ready-to-go operator, InterSystems Kubernetes Operator (IKO). Official documentation will help us navigate the deployment steps.

Hi Community,
