Hi Community!
I have very good news for the developers, who are using GitHub to host projects with InterSystems ObjectScript. GitHub introduced the support of InterSystems ObjectScript this week!
How does it work?
Now all the .cls files in your repository are considered as InterSystems ObjectScript and highlighted according to the language rules of ObjectScript. For example WebTerminal, Samples-Data.
During testing your code you are often confronted with the need to examine
the actual content of an object. Either using ZWRITE or $system.OBJ.Dump()
you get a picture of simple properties as "--- attribute values ---"
while "--- swizzled references ---" are more confusing than informative
and with "--- calculated references ---" you are just left in the lurch.
This small helper class allows you to dump an object to terminal or
e.g in background to some stream for later review.
By default, you see just properties with content,
DO ##class(Z.obj).dumpToDevice(obj)
or if explicitly requested all
InterSystems has corrected a defect that can result in application data integrity issues following an abnormal shutdown.
This problem exists for:
The defect breaks the journal sync guarantee that all updates in the journal buffer have been written to the journal file. The failure is silent: it does not generate an error message and there is no entry about it in any log file.
Specifically,
Has anyone done any integration with Kafka, especially prior to IRIS? If yes what was your experience such as specific pain points to be overcome.

Greetings,
Is there any default exception handling feature available in Zen report? I am working on a report that comprises of several different composites report (%ZEN.Report.Display.composite). I am incorporating several composites into the main Zen report, If any composite fails or encounters an issue such as issue with the sql statement or class method which i am using to fetch the data, the report (pdf) fails and shows a Zen error. It is very hard to find an exact composite or code that causes the error as Zen report displaying a generic Zen Error without any details.
So, I am adding
Hi All,
I have a REST dispatcher class in which I enabled the Parameter HandleCorsRequest = 1;
I can able to access the API using Postman, but not with my web application. It throws the below error.
Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://ec2-10-200-XXX-X.com/REST/MRM/get/Message?MessageCode=ERR0006&L…' from origin 'https://ec2-80-106-XX-XXX..com' has been blocked by CORS policy: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.
Is this something need to be modified in the apache config file ?

Hi Guys,
I have a DB server (ser-app-db) where IRIS is installed as server.
I have a Web server (ser-app-w) where IRIS is installed as web server and configured as CSP gateway.
I followed the configuration guide and ser-app-w perfectly display the CSP and CLS pages.
But that's not working for my REST service, for exemple with the REST sample:
http://ser-app-db/REST/CRM/Get?ReqID=123(GET): work and show the request
http://ser-app-w/REST/CRM/Get?ReqID=123(GET): return a 404.
I am using Apache server in Linux box.
I am not sure what I am missing in the config.
httpd.conf file (pasted required part):

PHP, from the beginning of its time, is renowned (and criticized) for supporting integration with a lot of libraries, as well as with almost all the DB existing on the market. However, for some mysterious reasons, it did not support hierarchical databases on the globals.
Globals are structures for storing hierarchical information. They are somewhat similar to key-value database with the only difference being that the key can be multi-level:
Hi all,
I am trying to delete an item from a production through a routine that installs and disables items.
To add any item, I have no problems, even to enable and disable some particular items.
The problem arises when I try to eliminate the production item, because when it does, the production become unstable and only works again when this item is added again in the collection (or the item is deleted manually in the production.cls)
This is my code attempt:
set productionName = "MyApp.production" set itemDelete="MyApp.BP.item" if
In the previous parts (1, 2) we talked about globals as trees. In this article, we will look at them as sparse arrays.
A sparse array - is a type of array where most values assume an identical value.
In practice, you will often see sparse arrays so huge that there is no point in occupying memory with identical elements. Therefore, it makes sense to organize sparse arrays in such a way that memory is not wasted on storing duplicate values.
In some programming languages, sparse arrays are part of the language - for example, in J, MATLAB. In other languages, there are special libraries that let you use them. For C++, those would be Eigen and the like.
Globals are good candidates for implementing sparse arrays for the following reasons:

Hi All,
I have two tables LB_TestSet and LB_Transfer
LB_Transfer has a list if TestSet row IDs, so i am doing the following join
SELECT
LBTS_RowID,
,LBTS_CollectedDate
FROM SQLUser.LB_TestSet
JOIN SQLUser.LB_Transfer ON ($LISTBUILD(LBTS_RowID) %INLIST LBTR_TestSetList)
WHERE LBTS_CollectedDate BETWEEN '2019-01-01' AND '2019-05-10'
Without the date filter the query returns data, but if i add the date filter no data is returned
I also tried using %INTERNAL, %EXTERNAL TO_DATE('2009-01-01','YYYY-MM-DD')
if i filter by RowID for example the filters work.(this is to make sure that the where
Hi Community!
How do you create SSL Configuration for InterSystems IRIS programmatically? E.g. for installation or deployment case?
E.g. if I need to create a very simple "default" SSL client configuration to let HTPPS Get requests to an arbitrary server?
Hi all. Today we are going to upload a ML model into IRIS Manager and test it.
Note: I have done the following on Ubuntu 18.04, Apache Zeppelin 0.8.0, Python 3.6.5.
These days many available different tools for Data Mining enable you to develop predictive models and analyze the data you have with unprecedented ease. InterSystems IRIS Data Platform provide a stable foundation for your big data and fast data applications, providing interoperability with modern DataMining tools.
In this series of articles we explore Data mining capabilities available with InterSystems IRIS.
The last time that I created a playground for experimenting with machine learning using Apache Spark and an InterSystems data platform, see Machine Learning with Spark and Caché, I installed and configured everything directly on my laptop: Caché, Python, Apache Spark, Java, some Hadoop libraries, to name a few. It required some effort, but eventually it worked. Paradise. But, I worried. Would I ever be able to reproduce all those steps? Maybe. Would it be possible for a random Windows or Java update to wreck the whole thing in an instant? Almost certainly.
Now, thanks to the increasingly

Hi!
I was trying to create a query that can be exposed as a stored procedure (function actually) that would return a resultset with a random number of columns.
Unfortunately, it seems that unless I specify the ROWSPEC annotation on the Query method, I won't get any columns exposed. I was hoping to implement QueryNameGetInfo method and specify the names and number of columns I would be returning dynamically. But it seems that GetInfo information is simply ignored.
Here is my code:
Class Test.Test
{
ClassMethod MyCustomQueryClose(ByRef qHandle As %Binary) As %Status
{
Quit $$$OK
}So i'm having this problem with the task manager, the tasks simply stopped running. I had a problem with queued massages and trying to figure out what to do i'm afraid I may messed up something else, can someone help me ?
Hello,
I have a very simple web service that I'd like to secure via SAML Authorization with X.509 Certificates. I am, however struggling with documentation and my lack of cryptographic skills. (I do this just for educational purposes now, but need to use it in the future)
Does anyone have an example that shows how to construct a SOAP Client with adding all necessary security headers manually or point me to a decent learning resource?
Thank you very much!
Hi Community!
New "Coding Talk" video is already on InterSystems Developers YouTube:
Create Your First InterSystems ObjectScript Code with IRIS Community, Github, Docker and VSCode
Well, we now have two different platforms Caché and IRIS. With so many changes, that it makes so many difficulties to have the same sources for both platforms. I'm not arguing about the reasons for it. Some of the changes are really reasonable.
It's good when I can import code from Caché to IRIS and get it worked after all background job was done. In Caché we have %CacheStorage type used for Storages. In IRIS it automatically converts to %Storage.Persistent. So, If I develop on IRIS, I will have incompatible sources for Caché.
So, it is one of the problems, and I expect more.
