#InterSystems Package Manager (IPM)

Hello,

We have read the installation guide to get started with zpm package manager:

https://openexchange.intersystems.com/package/ObjectScript-Package-Manag...

We wonder what means the second step:

"Import the zpm.xml into IRIS and compile via any desired way (Management Portal, Studio or Terminal)"

We have thought that it means to place the zpm-0.2.2.xml file inside "C:\InterSystems\HealthShare_2\opt\contenedor"

Application to import 12 Datasets along with 43 tables dynamically by using LOAD DATA command which loads data from a source into an IRIS SQL table.
List of Datasets

Hi Community,

Hi, Community!

Open Exchange (OEX) is getting more and more popular and more and more developers consider publishing their apps in the public package manager registry.

This is really great!

So the topic of thoughtful naming convention is getting more important and even critical. Let's discuss?

InterSystems Global Summit (or Virtual Summit this year) is traditionally a time of big announcements, and I'm sure our friends from InterSystems have quite a lot of new and exciting things to share with us this year. Here at Banksia Global, we have a big announcement for you as well. Please meet our new website built to make IRIS-based software distribution a breeze: ZpmHub.com!

Hi,

I am getting below message while generating package from ZPM

ERROR! ObjectScript error: <CLASS DOES NOT EXIST>zGenerateModuleXML+21^%ZPM.PackageManager.1 *%ZPM.PackageManager.Developer.ModuleTemplate

Thanks

I'm just starting off with ZPM and noticed that examples of library-type packages and full applications abound, but I have not unearthed any that demonstrate packaging an interop production. It doesn't seem like it would be too big of a jump from a full application to an interop production, but that is likely ignorance speaking.

So, does anybody know if this is possible/advisable -- or if I am just way off on the intent of ZPM?

Thanks!

Hi Developers,

Enjoy watching this new video presented by @Evgeny Shvarov:

We released a new version of ZPM (Package Manager)

New in ZPM 0.2.14 release:

• Publishing timeout
• Embedded vars usage in module parameters
• Package installation from Github repo
• Transaction support for install, load and publish.

See the details below.

Hi Developers!

Recently we released the updated version 0.1.3 of ObjectScript Package Manager (ZPM) which comes with the support of simplified ObjectScript sources folder structure.

What 'simplified' does mean?

Before 0.1.3 ZPM expected the following structure:

/src

---/cls  - for ObjectScript classes

---/cls/package_name/class_name.cls

---/cls/package_name/class_name2.cls

---/mac - or Mac ObjectScript routines

---/mac/package_name/mac_routine.mac

---/mac/package_name/mac_routine2.mac

---/inc - for ObjectScript macro include files.

---/inc/package_name/include_file.inc

Hi folks!

Sometimes when we develop a mockup or PoC there is a need for a simple interface that will provide data in IRIS in JSON against SQL queries.

And recently I contributed a simple module that does exactly that:

accepts SQL string and returns the JSON.

How to install? Just call:

zpm "install sql-rest"

If you install it in a namespace X it will setup a /sql endpoint to your system that will accept POST requests with SQL string and will return the result for you for the data available in the namespace X.

Hi folks!

Each IRIS installation has a /lib folder which is intended for 3rd-party libraries being used in the solution.

For IRIS installation the typical path is:

/usr/irissys/lib/

In ZPM the shortcut is ${libdir}.

What is the macro or internal function to obtain it programmatically?

ZPM is a fantastic package management product. I have 7 apps published and these apps not using zpm because it need install external products using apt-get install.

Is it possible do apt-get install using ZPM?

Hi developers!

Often we need to deploy some data along with code pieces of the application.

And for InterSystems IRIS developers the question could sound: "How can I deploy the data I have in globals?"

Here I want to suggest to you one of the approaches - deploying global data using the ZPM package manager.
