Hi!

I am wondering how I can test that my application can be installed through ZPM before I publish it to Open Exchange. How can I accomplish this?

Hi,

The class %JSON.Adaptor is very convenient,

I wonder if anyone faced the following scenario using it-

Exporting an object, that has a many to many relationship, and getting the details of the related objects.

For example, if we have three classes - Teachers, Students, and an intermediate class TeacherStudent .

The classes extend %JSON.

Hi Developers!

Often we need to use relatively small arrays with constants, static arrays in algorithms, etc where we need to do something with each element of an array. There are several ways to deal with it in ObjectSctipt. 

Previously I used to use globals, locals, PPG for this but not so long time ago figured out that %List is a way too handy.

Indeed, suppose we have an array of months and need to set up and use it in our code.

Hello, Community!

After beta testing the new exam InterSystems IRIS Core Solutions Developer Specialist at Global Summit 2019, the Certification Team of InterSystems Learning Services has performed the necessary calibration and adjustments to release it to our community. It is now ready for purchase and scheduling in InterSystems exam catalog. 

This is InterSystems first certification exam to feature mainly code samples as question topics. To give potential candidates a sample of the exam's content, practice questions have been published to help orient to exam question approaches and content.

It seems that everyone who is moving from Caché to IRIS have noticed this small change among other, more noticeable ones. But have you noticed that temporary globals mapping rules have been changed as well?

Hi All,

I trying to get the DisplayList data of the ValueLIst from Java using Springboot. when I try to get the DislayList data via java code but I'm getting the VALUELIST data. I don't get any idea to get that DisplayList data. Below is the example

Property PetName As %Integer(DISPLAYLIST = ",Cat,Dog,Dove,Parrot", VALUELIST = ",1,2,3,4");

Java Code:

public String PetName;

public List<Pet> getPet() {
        return ser.findAll();
    }

List<Pet> arrayList = getPet();
        for (Patient list : arrayList) {

                 String pet= list.getPet();

                 System.out.

Hello, InterSystems community!

Lately, you have probably heard of the new InterSystems Package Manager  - ZPM. If you're familiar with it or with such package managers as NPM, Dep, pip/PyPI, etc. or just know what is it all about -- this question is for you! The question I want to arise is actually a system design question, or, in other words, "how should ZPM implement it".

In short, ZPM (the new package manager) allows you to install packages/software to your InterSystems product in a very convenient, manageable way.

Hi Community,

Please welcome the new Global Summit 2019 video on InterSystems Developers YouTube Channel:

⏯ InterSystems IRIS Containers for Developers

Hi Community, we would like to share the news about the "Bell State" example (a compact quantum computing program) automated using our ML Toolkit with a Rigetti QVM running in the background:

⏯ InterSystems IRIS Roadmap: Analytics and AI

I've been having a blast with the Advent of Code puzzles this year - though I'll be heading into a busy span of time with family soon and will probably drop off toward the end. (At least, that's what always seems to happen - it's a good thing, though!)

I had a whole plane ride to play around with Day 13 and wanted to share some fun terminal tricks.

This series of articles would cover Python Gateway for InterSystems Data Platforms. Execute Python code and more from InterSystems IRIS. This project brings you the power of Python right into your InterSystems IRIS environment:

• Execute arbitrary Python code
• Seamlessly transfer data from InterSystems IRIS into Python
• Build intelligent Interoperability business processes with Python Interoperability Adapter
• Save, examine, modify and restore Python context from InterSystems IRIS

The plan for the series so far (subject to change).

s txt(1)="1"

s txt(2) = "2"

s txt(3)="3"

...

s txt(n)="n"

 Instead of hardcoding "d ..write(txt1(1),txt(2),txt(3))"

Is it possible to write code to generate the input parameters to do d ..write(txt1)...txt(n))?

ClassMethod write(Arg... As %String)

{

  s cnt = $GET(Arg, 0)

}

In the previous part of this series, we saw how to define a basic portlet. Now we will look into making this portlet reference a web page that will enhance our dashboard experience.

In this example, we will be embedding a Developer Community article along side a couple of widgets displaying information related to the number of views on the Developer Community articles. This example is not hosted on the Community Analytics server, but if it was we could see the view counts going up as we interacted with the page.

Why use this?

In a real case, perhaps you have an embedded page from an external web site showing the current Emergency Room wait times for Hospitals in your area. This portlet can be used along side widgets from your Emergency Room showing how many people are waiting, how many doctors are active, and how many people are being treated. As other Emergency Room wait times grow, you can possibly expect your volume to increase as well. This can help you make decisions on how to allocate resources.

I am having trouble configuring the environment in eclipse have download eclipse  for java script and web developers  followed the video but could not connect to the server I have my Apache server 7.0 added to the java environment and I can start and stop the server through eclipse IDE but when I fire atelier and add server I get the above error any help please .This is the first time I am trying to use the plug in through eclipse .

Hi, 

As we announced at our Global Summit in October, we are developing dedicated connectors for a number of third-party data visualization tools for InterSystems IRIS. With these connectors, we want to combine an excellent user experience with optimal performance when using those tools to visualize data managed on InterSystems IRIS Data Platform.

This series of articles would cover Python Gateway for InterSystems Data Platforms. Execute Python code and more from InterSystems IRIS. This project brings you the power of Python right into your InterSystems IRIS environment:

• Execute arbitrary Python code
• Seamlessly transfer data from InterSystems IRIS into Python
• Build intelligent Interoperability business processes with Python Interoperability Adapter

What is a portlet?

The simple answer is: a custom widget. A portlet can exist by itself on a DeepSee dashboard, it can be used along side standard DeepSee widgets, or along side other portlets. The rendering of the custom widget is completely user defined. This means you can embed a web page, create a form to perform any sort of action needed based on the data on your dashboard, use third party charting libraries, or simply display data from outside of a DeepSee cube.

How to get started

I need  to ran a task on a specified days (once a month but a different day each month).

How can I do that in Task Manager?

Hi Community,

⏯ The Value of Developing with Containers

If you work with anything other than English, you would earlier or later encounter the characters from the title or just plain ??????????.

Encodings are usually known, but sometimes you just get gibberish and need to make sense of it.

In this cases $zcvt is your friend, the three argument form specifically.

But there are a lot of options. So here's an utility script to check how the text would look like in different encodings:

Zn "%SYS"
Set Text = "ÍàØâàÞæØâë"
Set Ref = ##class(Config.NLS.Locales).OpenCurrent(.Sc)
Write "Locale name: ",Ref.Name, !
Do Ref.

Hot on the heels of the QEWD-JSdb announcement, QEWD-baseline provides a ready-to-run baseline environment for developing REST APIs.

The QEWD-baseline repository (https://github.com/robtweed/qewd-baseline) includes a fully-detailed tutorial on how to build RESY APIs using QEWD and the QEWD-JSdb database (running of course on IRIS).

https://github.com/robtweed/qewd-baseline/blob/master/REST.

ObjectScript has at least three ways of handling errors (status codes, exceptions, SQLCODE, etc.). Most of the system code uses statuses but exceptions are easier to handle for a number of reasons. Working with legacy code you spend some time translating between the different techniques. I use these snippets a lot for reference. Hopefully they're useful to others as well.

///Status from SQLCODE:set st = $$$ERROR($$$SQLError, SQLCODE, $g(%msg))  //embedded SQLset st = $$$ERROR($$$SQLError, rs.%SQLCODE, $g(rs.%Message)) //dynamic SQL///Exception from SQLCODE:throw ##class(%Exception.

Hi Community,

This week we have two new videos from Global Summit 2019. Please welcome:

1.   An ML Toolkit for InterSystems IRIS: Co-Innovation in Healthcare

Hi,

   I've heard from two different sources the SMP (or parts of it) and for sure the DTL front end (in studio? via SMP?) have been rewritten to be more modern.  But on a latest IRIS Community download everything looks the same to me.  Am I missing something or is this Marketting Spin?

  ^{Hopefully I won't get banned for this post aswell......}

Olá pessoal,

Compartilho material de um curso desenvolvido por mim, espero que possa ajudar a comunidade.

Want to see how IRIS can be used in a radically-new way, as a JavaScript-based Multi-model database?

Take a look at QEWD-JSdb: https://github.com/robtweed/qewd-jsdb

Full instructions on how to try it out on the AWS IRIS Community Edition are included in the repository.

Hi folks,

how do people run iris-community edition nowadays? It seems there are some incantations needed that are not documented here: https://hub.docker.com/_/intersystems-iris-data-platform/plans/222f869e-567c-4928-b572-eb6a29706fbd?tab=instructions

When I follow these, I am only getting an error:

(tasks)  ⚙ fhaupt@lamia  ~/projects/iris  docker run --name iris --rm  -p 9091:51773 -p 9092:52773 --volume /Users/fhaupt/projects/iris/external:/durable --env ISC_DATA_DIRECTORY=/durable/iris store/intersystems/iris-community:2019.4.0.379.0

Hi Developers!

For those who want to participate in the Advent of Code 2019 and code with ObjectScript in IRIS, I created a very simple but handy Github Template.

Use the green button

to copy template in your own repo, clone the repo and run in the repo folder:

docker-compose up -d

you will get InterSystems IRIS 2019.4 Community Edition running with the template classes to load input data from files and Day1 solution.

This is also set up to start crafting solutions of Advent of Code 2019 and edit, compile and debug ObjectScript with VSCode addon.

Happy coding with Advent of Code 2019!

BridgeWorks is pleased to announce a VDM, v9.1.0.1.
