As a complete platform, InterSystems IRIS eliminates the need to integrate multiple development technologies. Applications require less code, fewer system resources, and less maintenance.

Question Anna Diak · Nov 29, 2023

I want to connect the app to Cloud SQL but when I registered and created the deployment (trial) I got the error:

Did anybody face such an error?
During the creation of an account, there was a message like 'username is taken' but the account have been created anyway. Maybe it could cause this problem.

I'm trying to install the Inter System IRIS data platform in windows and I'm not able to download the installer file. Some one can help me with this.

Please look at the below image for the reference for the error I'm facing 

And also I'm looking for the docker version of the IRIS, but here also I'm not able to identify the IMAGE for the same. Please look into the below image.

Thanks.

Question Julius Kavay · Nov 23, 2023

I'm in a very early phase of an project where some of the methods should be written in python. Occasionally, projects also have byproducts, I call them utility methods, because some of the methods the project uses can also be used in other applications too. I tend to put such methods in percent classes, so they can be used everywhere, independent of the namespace, where an application runs. I try to do the same in my current project  too, merely with python it doesn't works! Why?

My newest app includes a java routine to read data from Excel 95, 97, 2000, XP, and 2003 workbooks and write the data into IRIS globals using Java Native API library.

If you have Git and Docker installed, clone/git pull the repo into any local directory

$ git clone https://github.com/oliverwilms/excel-java-iris.git

Open the terminal in this directory and run:

$ docker-compose up -d

Execute java class IRISNative

Question Yone Moreno · Nov 28, 2023

Hello,

First of all thanks for your help, time, and answers.

We would like to know what are we doing wrong and how could we improve it and fix it.

We need to convert the Api Monitor Metrics which are a String with this format:

iris_cache_efficiency 13449.122
iris_cpu_pct{id="CSPDMN"} 0
iris_cpu_pct{id="ECPWorker"} 0

[...]

iris_wdwij_time 11
iris_wd_write_time 8
iris_wij_writes_per_sec 0

To JSON.

We would expect them to look like a normal JSON as follows:

{
"iris_cache_efficiency": "13449.122",
"iris_cpu_pct{id='CSPDMN'}": "0",

[...]
"iris_wij_writes_per_sec": 0
}

K9s is a terminal-based UI (aka kubectl clown suit), to manage Kubernetes clusters that drastically simplifies navigating, observing, and managing your applications in K8s, including Custom Resources like the InterSystems Kubernetes Operator (IKO) and ArgoCD Applications. If you are about to take your CKD, CKA, or CKS, leave k9s well enough alone for awhile as the abstraction to kubectl will become the standard for navigating the cluster and you will undoubtedly become estranged to the extended flags of kubectl and bomb the exam.

Question Enrico Parisi · Sep 2, 2022

I'm converting a .NET gateway interface (call .NET code from IRIS) from the old "Caché style" that use imported proxy class to the new $system.external .NET gateway as documented in:

https://docs.intersystems.com/iris20221/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls…

For simple case it works and I'm fine, unfortunately I don't understand how to implement/access .NET arrays from IRIS and unfortunately the documentation has no info whatsoever on how to work with arrays.

Hi community!

In this article, I'm excited to introduce my latest application, Journal File Indexer. The development of this application is rooted in the portal idea  DPI-I-270.  

In short, this application lets you load and index a log file in a database.  

Why?

If you've ever used the log file search function in the management portal, you may have encountered a timeout error or even a blank page. This problem usually occurs when searching a large journal file. Journal File Indexer solves this problem by considerably increasing the speed of searches once the file has been loaded into the database.  

Another problem arises during the restoration process. When searching for global entries in a log file to restore old or new values, the management portal doesn't have this specific functionality. A routine must therefore be coded to achieve this. Journal File Indexer comes to the rescue, incorporating a restore function!

According to Databricks Apache Parquet is an open source, column-oriented data file format designed for efficient data storage and retrieval. It provides efficient data compression and encoding schemes with enhanced performance to handle complex data in bulk. Apache Parquet is designed to be a common interchange format for both batch and interactive workloads. It is similar to other columnar-storage file formats available in Hadoop, namely RCFile and ORC. (source: https://www.databricks.com/glossary/what-is-parquet). Below are the characteristics and benefits of Parquet according to

Currently, many digital artists use generative AI technology as a support to accelerate the delivery of their work. Nowadays it is possible to generate a corresponding image from a text sentence. There are several market solutions for this, including some available to be used through APIs. See some at this link: https://www.analyticsvidhya.com/blog/2023/08/ai-image-generators/.

Question Frederic Donnet-Monay · Nov 23, 2023

Hi,

I'm receiving in one of our interface a XML file as a %Stream.GlobalBinary, and in the source Application that produces this XML file, the user sometimes add a special character that force the XML file to have the header encoding to UTF-8, instead of ISO-8859-1 : 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF8"?> 

When my current interface tries to convert the %Stream.GlobalBinary into %XML.XPATH.Document to this exceptional UTF8 header encoding of the XML file : 

Set tSC=##class(%XML.XPATH.Document).CreateFromStream(stream,.tDoc)  --> contains exceptionally UTF8 encoding

While starting the development with IRIS we have a distribution kit or in case of Docker we are pulling the docker image and then often we need to initialize it and setup the development environment. We might need to create databases, namespaces, turn on/off some services, create resources. We often need to import code and data into IRIS instance and run some custom code to init the solution.

And there plenty of templates on Open Exchange where we suggest how to init REST, Interoperability, Analytics, Fullstack and many other templates with ObjectScript. What if we want to use only Python to setup the development environment for Embedded Python project with IRIS?

So, the recent release of Embedded Python template is the pure python boilerplate that could be a starting point for developers that build python projects with no need to use and learn ObjectScript. This article expresses how this template could be used to initialize IRIS. Here we go!

How can IRIS productions be deployed more quickly and with greater peace of mind?

The aim of interoperability productions is to enable you to connect systems in order to transform and route messages between them. To connect systems, you develop, configure, deploy and manage productions that integrate several software systems.

That’s what the InterSystems documentation on its reference website tells us, but what do you actually have to do to deploy a production ?

Hello, I am quite new with InterSystems, SAM and Grafana. I am looking a way to get Log Files and Application Errors from InterSystems to SAM like in this post: https://community.intersystems.com/post/grafana-support-intersystems-iris. Is this plugin still under development or is there any other way to get those errors? By using SAM, I do not get those errors.

Question Robert Cemper · Nov 20, 2023

While creating my latest examples for the JavaContest I faced the need
to communicate with my code from a program in IRIS to my Java code.

Communication with |CPIPE| worked as READ or WRITE  but not both?
In the Documentation Named PIPEs are explained rather shortly.
"Once open, a pipe acts like an ordinary device."  Not so precise.
I failed to achieve my expected READ/WRITE  as TCP would offer. 

Has anyone a working example to demonstrate it? 
Any suggestion is welcome.

I found a workaround for my actual case.
Though I'm not so happy with it.

It’s hard to believe that this wraps up our first year of quarterly platform updates.  Thank you for making this a great first year.  Today’s update talks about the planned Minimum Supported CPU list, OpenSSL 3.0 for AIX reaching GA, and a bit more.  We’ll be back for 2024!

This update aims to share recent changes as well as our best current knowledge on upcoming changes, but predicting the future is tricky business and this shouldn’t be considered a committed roadmap. 

With that said, on to the update…
