So being forced to use VSCode out of the box for a new Community install I've hit a small problem, documentation hasn't helped and its a simple problem.

How do I enable auto complete and the property viewer in creating a new .MAC?

So I've created "test.mac" and 'assume' can't remember the method name to open a file (for example), typing

"s f=##class(%Library.File). " in Studio would bring up the methods of %Library.File so I could click the appropriate one, VSCode does not do this (and also didn't show the classes under %Library).

I'm exploring this right now: given a bunch of types defined as Pydantic models, how can I come up with an equivalent %RegisteredObject/%SerialObject and convert to/from (e.g., to support persistence and match validation as much as possible)?

People who know Python better than I do (e.g., your average undergraduate from this decade): is this a stupid idea or a cool idea? Has anyone else done this before?

Hi developers!

Observing the avalanche of AI-driven and vibe-coding developer tools that have been appearing lately almost every month with more and more exciting dev features, I was puzzled whether it is possible to leverage it with InterSystems IRIS. At least to build a frontend. And the answer - yes! At least with the approach I followed.

Here is my recipe to prompt the UI vs InterSystems IRIS Backend:

  1. Have the REST API on the IRIS side, which reflects some Open API (swagger) spec.
  2. Generate the UI with any vibe-coding tool (e.g., Lovable) and point the UI to the REST API endpoint.
  3. Profit!

Here is the result of my own exercise - a 100% prompted UI vs IRIS REST API that allows to list, create, update delete entries of a persistent class (Open Exchange, frontend source, video):

What is the recipe in detail?

Hello,

Very much keen if we could gather the per namespace and business component utilization of InterSystems cache server.

For e. I have a PRD server where its CPU utilization is at max all the time and I want to know which namespace and its business process (service/Operation/Process) is utilizing what number of CPU and memory.

** I can get the CPU and Memory utilization per Cache.exe and PID, but not able to get the Namespace and ConfiguratioName to which that particular PID belongs.

Thank you,

It's not supported at the moment but is it possible to implement the Sonatype Nexus (or JFrog Artifactory) support based on the current (or upcoming) IPM version?

In repo command help I see there is a support for filesystem repositories (which I have not yet tried) and my current (hopefully not far-fetched) interpretation is the IPM is designed to be able to support different repositories:

I'm trying to use embedded python code that receives an Iris %Stream.GlobalBinary and uses image manipulation library PIL.

Because PIL can't work with IRIS %Stream, I need to convert the image to python bytes.

This process seems to have very bad performance compared to writing to a file and then loading it from a file in python.

Is there a better way to send a stream into python? The conversion code I'm using is below.

Thanks.

I'm having an issue with sending SMTP requests from a specific Microsoft 365 account to Gmail accounts. We can use other Microsoft 365 accounts, but something about this one specific account sending to Gmail fails. The error we get is just telling us that sending to the user xxxxx@gmail.com failed. In order to troubleshoot that, I'm looking for more detail than that.

Hi all,

Some days ago, I've seen a youtuber talking about how to create a neural network (sorry, is in spanish)

Hi all,

I have some .vm (Velocity Templating Language) files that I'd like to be able to load into IRIS with the $System.OBJ.Load(filename) command, but it seems that only accepts XML files.

I've tried adding import/export logic in my custom studio document that will wrap the velocity content inside an XML document and vice versa, I've changed the existing Velocity files to have the extension .xml and be wrapped in XML, and I've included a .dtd file for them to reference. However, this doesn't seem to work.

When batch inserting data into a table via SQL, I can use the %NOCHECK keyword to avoid checking foreign key integrity. This would be appropriate for cases when the inserted data has been verified by some external process.

However, when inserting via objects, I don't see a way to get the same behavior. Are there any workarounds that use objects for this?

Hi developers!

While developing web apps the security practice I consider safe and convenient is to create a special Role (e.g. equal application name) which contains security resources which application will need (SQL tables, priviledges, database access, etc) and assign it to the Web Application.
So the user gets this role once it loggs in to the application (via password, no password or delegated).

Convenient, right?

So, the question is, when I deploy the app as an IPM module what should I put as a database access?

Hello everybody,

I would like to export project contents using Visual Studio Code, as well as I do with InterSystems Studio.

However, while attempting the export through the InterSystems extension I get the following error:

- There are no folders in the current workspace that code can be exported to.

These are the step to reproduce my error:
