#InterSystems IRIS

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.

I have a problem connecting IRIS to Atelier Webapplication.

IRIS Version: IRIS for UNIX (Red Hat Enterprise Linux for x86-64) 2019.1.1 (Build 609U) Thu Sep 12 2019 22:40:26 EDT

 When I try to access Atelier API  ( i.e. Webbrowser ) then I can not authorize.

Here is what it looks like:

URL: http://localhost:52773/api/atelier

I put in the valid credentials of a user with a %Developer Role but I am not able to authorize.

The api/atelier web application is enabled in the Management Portal.

I have this bevhavior only with the ReadHat Community Unix version of IRIS.

Has the Cache install been replaced with IRIS? Sorry if this is a silly question. I remember downloading Cache before and using Cache studio. I can't seem to find a download for that anymore, just IRIS? I did grab that and I'm able to connect Studio to what I need.

If there is still a Cache download, where can I find it?

Thanks!

Hi Community,

We are pleased to invite you to the InterSystems Meetup in Moscow on December 10, 2019! 

InterSystems Moscow Meetup is a pre-New Year meeting for users and developers on InterSystems technologies. The meetup will be devoted to the InterSystems IRIS Data Platform.

Please check out the agenda:

Hi Developers,

The new video from Global Summit 2019 is already on InterSystems Developers YouTube:

⏯ Showcase: InterSystems IRIS Directions

I have a class that inherits from %Library.CachePopulateand when I try to compile that class in IRIS I get an error does anyone out there know if this has been decapreated or the equivalent class please, in 2018.2 I can see the class in the documentation but in IRIS there is no reference to it

¡Hi everybody!

As you likely are aware, the new version of InterSystems IRIS for Health (I4H) it's already available in Docker Hub. It's the Community version and is free and fully functional. There have been comments about it in other articles and posts,... so today I won't add anything about features. Here I want to explore "the mistery about the disappearance, or better, absence of our persistent data when we run a container with the durable option"  (I didn't find a terrifying font to emphasize the thriller... post editor is not terrific for styling ) .

Hi Developers,

New video, recorded by @Stefan Wittmann, is already on InterSystems Developers YouTube:

🗣 Multi-Inheritance in a Multi-Model Environment

Currently, many of you has some knowledge about CachéQuality (which is being renamed to objectscriptQuality) for analyzing objectscript code using the rules we have predefined. Probably you have tested it and have found too many warnings in your projects. I'm sure there are issues which are really important for you and some others which you would like to dismiss.

We have more than 90 rules to test different code situations and warn about a problem or a possible bug in code.

InterSystems has corrected a defect that can cause shadowing to fail with an access violation. In rare cases, the defect can cause memory corruption, leading to unpredictable behavior. 

Note: The defect does not affect mirroring.

This defect affects:

• InterSystems IRIS 2019.1.1 and 2019.3
• IRIS for Health 2019.1.1 and 2019.3
• HealthShare Health Connect 2019.1.1
• HealthShare Health Connect (HSAP) 15.032 on 2018.1.3
• Caché and Ensemble 2018.1.

In time for InterSystems Global Summit 2019 we at George James Software are pleased to offer a cloud-hosted evaluation environment where you can work with Serenji in Visual Studio Code, editing and debugging ObjectScript in a sandbox running InterSystems IRIS 2019.3 Community edition.

You can do it all from your web browser. Nothing will be installed on your workstation, nor will any settings have to be changed on it.

To take Serenji for a test drive please visit https://georgejames.com/dc-gitpod

Some time ago I developed an application that tackled a familarial problem faced by many developers when required to update multiple UAT or PRODUCTION sites with the latest Software patches that have been developed and tested on your DEV server and now need to be deployed to multiple sites running that software.

InterSystems Data Platforms products allow you to export and import security settings in two different ways.

This article talks about those options:

• On the command line, using ^SECURITY
• Programmatically, using the Export and Import methods of classes in the Security package

Exporting settings on the command line (^SECURITY)

You can export everything or individual sections of the security settings.

Exporting everything with ^SECURITY

With ^SECURITY, you can export or import all the security settings for an instance very simply.

This quick guide shows how to serve HTTPS requests with InterSystems API Management. Advantage here is that you have your certs on one separated server and you don't need to configure each backend web-server separately.

Here's how:

1. Buy the domain name.

2. Adjust DNS records from your domain to the IAM IP address.

3. Generate HTTPS certificate and private key. I use Let's Encrypt - it's free.

4. Start IAM if you didn't already.

5. Send this request to IAM:

POST http://host:8001/certificates/
{
    "cert": "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----.

Recently I was fielding some questions that someone had about some bugs that crop up on Docker for Mac, and it reminded me of what Shakespeare wrote in his famous tragedy about large-scale software orchestration, Kubelet: the Prince of Benchmark.

When running Docker on Mac or Windows, some problems crop up occasionally, because Docker for Mac and Docker for Windows are both using some clever and mostly-hidden tricks to be able to run at all.  Containers are, fundamentally, a Linux technology, cobbled together from a handful of features native to the Linux platform.

Hello InterSystems Community,

We're excited to announce that we've completed our first Open Exchange submission for InterSystems platforms.

BridgeWorks VDM is an ad hoc reporting and graphical SQL query builder application that was designed for any user who needs access to their SQL projections in InterSystems Caché, InterSystems IRIS, InterSystems IRIS for Health databases as well as access to InterSystems DeepSee and InterSystems IRIS BI Cubes with minimal SQL scripting experience.

Easily transform a CSV file into a personalized preview of DeepSee - InterSystems BI

AnalyzeThis can be found on InterSystems Open Exchange. Use the Download link to navigate to GitHub and begin installing the project. Follow the “Installation” section of the GitHub README.

InterSystems IRIS supports a unique data structure, called globals, for information storage. Essentially, globals are persistent arrays with multi-level indices, having several extra capabilities—transactions, quick traversal of tree structures, and a programming language known as ObjectScript.

I'd note that for the remainder of the article, or at least the code samples, we'll assume you have familiarised yourself with the basics of globals:

Globals Are Magic Swords For Managing Data. Part 1.

Hello Everyone,

I'm want to know, what is more common for your company to use, the abbreviation syntax or the complety name of commands, and why?

Ex. 

S VAR=10 / D FUNC^ROUTINE F 1:1:1000

Set VAR=10 / Do Func^Routine / For 1:1:1000

set var=10 / do func^routine / for 1:1:1000

Here in my company, we are familiar with the abbreviation syntax, because to spell is more faster.

Hi developers!

I just want to share with you the knowledge aka experience which could save you a few hours someday. 

If you are building REST API with IRIS which contains more than 1 level of "/", e.g. '/patients/all'  don't forget to add parameter 'recurse=1' into your deployment script in %Installer, otherwise all the second and higher entries won't work. And all the entries of level=1 will work.

/patients

- will work,  but

/patients/all

- won't.

Here is an example of CSPApplicatoin section which fix the issue and which you may want to use in your %Installer class:

First webinar on  InterSystems API Management!

We are pleased to invite you to the upcoming webinar in Russian: Introduction to InterSystems API Management on November 21 at 10:00 Moscow time (GMT+3)!

As you might have heard, we recently introduced the InterSystems API Manager (IAM) - a new feature of the InterSystems IRIS Data Platform,
enabling you to monitor, control and govern traffic to and from web-based APIs within your IT infrastructure.

In this webinar I will highlight some of the many capabilities IAM allows you to leverage. InterSystems API Manager brings everything you need:

• to monitor your HTTP-based API traffic and understand who is using your APIs; what are your most popular APIs and which could require a rework.
• to control who is using your APIs and restrict usage in various ways. From simple access restrictions to throttling API traffic and fine-tuning request payloads, you have fine-grained control and can react quickly.
• to protect your APIs with central security mechanisms like OAuth2.0 or Key Token Authentication.
• to onboard third-party developers and provide them with a superb developer experience right from the start by providing a dedicated Developer Portal for their needs.
• to scale your API demands and deliver low-latency responses

There would be a live demo.

This webinar is for System Architects, Developers and DevOps Engineers.
Time: November 21 at 10:00 Moscow time (GMT+3)!

The language of the webinar is Russian.

Database systems have very specific backup requirements that in enterprise deployments require forethought and planning. For database systems, the operational goal of a backup solution is to create a copy of the data in a state that is equivalent to when application is shut down gracefully.  Application consistent backups meet these requirements and Caché provides a set of APIs that facilitate the integration with external solutions to achieve this level of backup consistency.
