InterSystems IRIS is a Complete Data Platform
InterSystems IRIS gives you everything you need to capture, share, understand, and act upon your organization’s most valuable asset – your data.
As a complete platform, InterSystems IRIS eliminates the need to integrate multiple development technologies. Applications require less code, fewer system resources, and less maintenance.
Hello Everyone
I'm trying to open an XML that I get inside a GZIP file.
However, I can only open the contents when I save the file to a folder.
I would like to know if there is a way to get the contents of XML without saving the GZIP in a folder.
The code below is functional, however, you are saving GZIP before you can get the contents of the XML.
Hi Developers!
This is the second post on the resources for Developers. This part is about Open Exchange
Using Open Exchange to Learn InterSystems
InterSystems Open Exchange is a applications gallery of tools, connectors, and libraries which InterSystems Developers submit to share the experience, approaches and do business. All the applications are either built with InterSystems data platforms or are intended to use for development with InterSystems data platforms.
If you are a beginner developer you can take a look at applications in Technology Example category. All the applications in this category come with open source code repositories, so you are able to run the samples and examples in a docker container with IRIS on your laptop or in the cloud IRIS sandbox. Examples:
I'm not saying that this is in anyway "best practices," but I'm in a peculiar situation where I need to restrict users from starting a "retired" Ensemble Production in a namespace that's been renamed. It's still an "Ensemble-activated" namespace; we need to keep it available for Ensemble Message Viewer access ... fortunately, only for a little while.
It's a bit of a hack ...
Open the Production class in Studio and add the following classmethod:
Hello community! I have to work with queries using all kinds of methods like embedded sql and class queries. But my favorite is dynamic sql, simply because of how easy it is to manipulate them at runtime. The downside to writing a lot of these is the maintenance of the code and interacting with the output in a meaningful way.
Hi Developers!
Recently I was asked, “How can a beginner in InterSystems technologies learn from InterSystems Developers community content to improve his developer skills”?
This is a really good question. It has several answers so I decided to write the post with the hope it could be useful for developers.
So! How to learn Intersystems Data Platforms(IRIS, IRIS for Health) from InterSystems Developers community content if you are a beginner?
Hello everyone, it took some time but I'm finally getting things done again. Phew!
But for now, allow me to introduce a tool that I've been using frequently.
I call it Forgery.
This description has been taken from my GitHub repository, also available on OpenExchange:
Hi Everyone!
You're very welcome to watch the new video on InterSystems Developers YouTube, recorded by @Evgeny Shvarov in the new format called "Coding Talks":
GitHub Flow with InterSystems IRIS: Edit with VSCode, Test with Docker, Commit, Push, Pull Request
Hi Community!
How can I know the port of management portal e.g. from terminal?
The one which looks like
localhost:port/csp/sys/exp/%25CSP.Portal.Home.zen
in browser?
Available at:
https://hub.docker.com/r/yape/yape/
$ docker container run --rm -v "$(pwd)":/data yape/yape --version yape 2.2.6
See the readme at:

Changes include:
Hey everyone!
I had looked around a bit and couldn't find a native way to log queue counts in Ensemble/HealthShare so I wrote a quick task and persistent class to do it. Hope this saves someone a bit of time. Let me know your thoughts! Thanks!

Hi guys!
What is the IRIS analog for Ensemble.INC?
One of my colleagues at InterSystems encountered an unexpected issue when running InterSystems IRIS on a Macintosh in a container using Docker for Mac. I’d like to share what we found, so you might avoid running into similar issues.
The Problem
Hi Everyone!
I have two widgets with line vs time graphs.
I need to make a common filter by date for both, but these widgets use different date dimensions.
How I can to do this?
Hi Community!
You're very welcome to watch a new video on InterSystems Developers YouTube, recorded by @Benjamin DeBoe, InterSystems Product Manager:
Natural Language Processing with InterSystems IRIS
For Data Synchronization inside Caché you have a range of ways to synchronize objects and tables.
At DB level you can use Shadowing or Mirroring
This works excellent and if you need just a part of your data to be synchronized you may split your
data into smaller pieces using Global mapping
Or if you need bi-directional synchronization on Class/Table level you can use the Object Synchronization Feature
The limit of all these excellent features:
They just work from Caché/IRIS to Caché/IRIS.
I followed the instructions in the documentation https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls... (Install iris.node on nodejs for windows). Procedures made:
=> Copy iris.node to the location specified in the NODE_PATH environment variable: C:\Program Files\nodejs
=> I used: var irisobj = require('iris') on my js file
But is not work. Error: The specified procedure could not be found.
When I start talking about InterSystems IRIS with more technically-minded people I always talk about how at the root of things it is a multimodel DBMS.
In my opinion that is the main advantage (on the DBMS side).
You want some sort of summary for your data? Use SQL!
Do you want to work extensively with one record? Use objects!
Want to access or set one value and you know the key? Think again. Use globals!
And the data is stored only once. You just choose the way you want to access it.
On the first overview it's a nice story - short and concise and it gets the message across, but when people really start working with InterSystems IRIS the questions start.
How are classes and tables and globals related? What are they to each other? How's data really stored?
In this article I would try to answer these questions and explain what's really going on.
There's an easy new way to add certificate authority (CA) certificates to your SSL/TLS configurations on InterSystems IRIS 2019.1 (and 2018.1.2) on Windows and Mac. You can ask IRIS to use the operating system's certificate store by entering:
%OSCertificateStore
in the field for "File containing Trusted Certificate Authority X.509 certificate(s)". Here's an image of how to do this in the portal:
Hi all,
we are wondering if anybody has a reporting tool that is capable using IRIS Objects?
I know there are things like Crystal Reports and others out there who can read the SQL Data throug ODBC but we need the capability of using object methods while running the report.
Since now we where using a JAVA based report generator (ReportWeaver) but since the object binding for JAVA doesn't exist anymore in IRIS data platform, did any of you have an alternative report generator?
Looking forward to any answers
cheers

In various tests I used both and found no real reason to prefere the one or the other.
Eventually I missed some limits. At least I didnt' hit any.
What is the general opinion?
Where to use the one or the other?
I wanted to write it as a comment to article of @Evgeny Shvarov . But it happens to be so long, so, decided to post it separately.
I would like to add a bit of clarification about how docker uses disk space and how to clean it. I use macOS, so, everything below, is mostly for macOS, but docker commands suit for any platform.
This is a self contained class that can be run from the Intersystems Task Scheduler which records peak usage details for databases and licenses built up throughout the day and retaining 30 days history.
To schedule the task to run every hour:
d ##class(Metrics.Task).Schedule()
You can also specify your own start time, stop time, and run interval:
d ##class(Metrics.Task).Schedule(startTime, stopTime, intervalMins)
Metrics are stored in ^Metrics in the namespace that the class resides in/is run from.
I'm currenlty searching the developers coummnity , but thought I asked this question while I search. How can I use the task schedulrer to purge backups? Do i have to create my own class? Examples on doing this?
Has you may know, EnsDemo from Ensemble are not available anymore on IRIS.
This is a good thing, Iris is cloud oriented, it must be light, fast. Now the new way of sharing samples or modules is through git, continuous integration and OpenExchange.
But, in some cases you want to go back to your good old samples from EnsDemo to get inspiration or best practices.
Good news, there is a git for that :
Hi guys!
As you know there are two (at least) ways to get the stored value of the property of InterSystems IRIS class if you know the ID of an instance (or a record).
1. Get it by as a property of an instance with "Object access":
ClassMethod GetPropertyForID(stId As %Integer) As %String
{
set obj=..%OpenId(stId)
return obj.StringData
}
2. Get it as a value of a column of the record with "SQL access":
Hi All,
I'm just taking a look at IRIS and what it has to offer, and if this is something the organisation I work for should be looking to take advantage of.
I think I've come across an early sticking point, and I wondered if anyone knew of any options.
InterSystems IRIS 2019.1 has been out for a while and I would like to cover some enhancements for handling JSON which might have gone unnoticed. Dealing with JSON as a serialization format is an important part of building modern applications, especially when you interact with REST endpoints.
Hello all,
We recently moved our workstations to Windows 10 and so we updated all our local installations to IRIS (servers already run IRIS 2019.1). Now we are trying to connect our pyCharm to IRIS but we can't succeed.
