Hi folks!

Just want to introduce you a new util to import CSV into IRIS - csvgenpy!

Install

USER>zpm "install csvgenpy"

Use:

do ##class(shvarov.csvgenpy.csv).Generate("file or url","table","schema")

Example:

USER>do ##class(shvarov.csvgenpy.csv).Generate("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datasciencedojo/datasets/master/titanic.csv","titanic","data")

This will create table and class data.titanic in IRIS and will load the data.  you can proof it with:

Hey Community,

Tired of entering login-password during the docker build with your InterSystems IRIS every time?

There is a handy way to turn it on and off – use the passwordless zpm module.

Hi all,

I'm trying to install ZPM into a new instance of IRIS to download packages of utilities in our develop server.

When I'm loading the file zpm-0.5.3.xml it is throwing the following error:

Any help?

Thanks in advance

Hi Developers!

Suppose you have a persistent class with data and you want to have a simple Angular UI for it to view the data and make CRUD operations.

Recently @Alberto Fuentes described how to build Angular UI for your InterSystems IRIS application using RESTForms2. 

In this article, I want to tell you how you can get a simple Angular UI to CRUD and view your InterSystems IRIS class data automatically in less than 5 minutes.

Let's go!

Introduction

There are many entities in IRIS which are extremely difficult to transfer to another system.They usually contain important system-stored objects: users, roles, privileges, mappings, and applications. The exception to this list is for resources, which are facilitated by the ability to select and save them from the management portal interface [System > Security Management > Resources]. Yet, things are not as good with other system objects. I even got an idea for this topic

I devoted this article to the explanation of how to transfer gateway connection settings [System >

Hi Developers,

Enjoy watching the new video on InterSystems Developers YouTube:

⏯ Modern(izing) Full Stack Development on InterSystems IRIS @ Global Summit 2022

We have just released a minor update to the package manager, which has been renamed from ZPM to IPM as I explained in November.  It purely a bug fix release, properly interpreting ROBOCOPY return codes and fixing a regression that prevented installation of certain packages.

Get it here:

https://github.com/intersystems/ipm/releases/tag/v0.5.2

I'm pleased to announce a milestone in the lifecycle of the ObjectScript package manager, ZPM. The package manager has offered developers the ability to neatly package up ObjectScript code and deployment configuration settings and version information in a convenient way. Over the last few years, it has evolved greatly into an integral part of many development workflows.

It has proven so important that InterSystems has decided to use it for packaging our own components, and that has led us to a decision to move the GitHub repository from the community into our corporate one, and rename it InterS

Hello fellow developers!

When developing with ObjectScript Package Manager, one crucial thing is the package version, which we place in the module.xml file. When we add changes to the package and are ready to publish a new version of the package in the registry, we also need to increase the version number. This is clear, but it is annoying, and we can often forget to do that. 

This small article will help you to automate such a process.

A new release of ZPM has been published 0.5.0

New in this release

• Added support for Python's requirements.txt file
• Using tokens for publishing packages
• Fixed various issues

Python's requirements.txt

Now, if your project uses Python embedded and requires some Python's dependencies, you can add requirements.txt file to the project, as usual for any Python project, file have to be in the root of a project next to module.xml. And with load command or install command, ZPM will install dependencies from that file with using pip.

USER>zpm "install python-faker" 

[USER|python-faker]     Reload

A new release of ZPM has been published 0.4.0

New in this release

• Added support for Deployed packages, publishing, and installation
• Support for multiple registry servers, e.g. public community registry, private corporate, and so on, including Python embedded code
• Ability to show all versions and package origin in search
• Fixed issue for packages with preload code
• The expanded limit for the length of arguments in Invoke

Anybody willing to share a method form the ZPM cli (or othewise) where zpm will "Install package if not already installed?"  I would want this to count for updates too I think as I would want to control that too.

The use case is in a CI-CD pipeline, where the pipeline can be used to provision start to state, but for somethings only do once.  An example would be I have a package that provisions a fhir package or search parameter in my own way, but doesnt do it again when somebody merges operational code and the pipeline fires again, it would not attempt to load the fhir package again.

A new release of ZPM has been published - ZPM 0.3.2.

New in this release:

• Various changes in the output command of help
• Changes in colors in the outputs
• Added an ability to add more repo types
• Added an ability to specify a post-installation message, with AfterInstallMessage tag in module.xml
• Added variable ${webroot}, which refers to url with host and port where the internal web-server is available
• Fixed issue when during install if no module was specified (issue #243)
• Fixed issue with uppercased FileCopy resource
• Some other minor bugfixes

Hello,

I am getting the following error , and not sure how to get passed this.
We have removed storage on the classes , did a clean compile and still we get the error below on some of the classes
 Compile FAILURE
ERROR! Storage on class [ MyClass] modified by storage compiler, developer should have run ^build to make sure all storage is updated correctly and saved to Perforce

Any Idea how to resolve this or what to look for ?

Hi Developers!

Sometimes we need to import CSV data programmatically to InterSystems IRIS either from CSV or from URL. And we expect the class with proper datatypes to be created and the data to be imported.

I published a module csvgen on Open Exchange which does exactly that.

If you just need the CSV file be imported into IRIS you can do the following:

USER>do ##class(community.csvgen).Generate("/usr/data/titanic.csv",,"Data.Titanic")

Class name: Data.Titanic
Header: PassengerId INTEGER,Survived INTEGER,Pclass INTEGER,Name VARCHAR(250),Sex VARCHAR(250),Age INTEGER,SibSp INTEGER,Parch INTEGER,Ticket VARCHAR(250),Fare MONEY,Cabin VARCHAR(250),Embarked VARCHAR(250)
Records imported: 891
USER>

Or if you have the CSV on the internet, e.g. COVID-19 Data on Github you can get the data in the following way:

USER>d ##class(community.csvgen).GenerateFromURL("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/master/csse_covid_19_data/csse_covid_19_daily_reports/05-29-2020.csv",",","Data.Covid19")

Class name: Data.Covid19
Header: FIPS INTEGER,Admin2 VARCHAR(250),Province_State VARCHAR(250),Country_Region VARCHAR(250),Last_Update DATE,Lat MONEY,Long_ DOUBLE,Confirmed INTEGER,Deaths INTEGER,Recovered INTEGER,Active INTEGER,Combined_Key VARCHAR(250),Incidence_Rate DOUBLE,Case-Fatality_Ratio DOUBLE
Records imported: 3522

InterSystems and the developer community around ZPM have been working together to take ZPM to the next level, building it into IRIS and making it a tool that can not only manage 3rd-party code, but key parts of InterSystems' products. You can hear a lot more on this topic at Global Summit 2022, and attend an experience lab to get hands-on. 

As a developer, you can also join the ongoing discussion about some final key design issues we are exploring with the community.

Hi Developers!

This is yet another short post that is intended to simplify developers' life. Now we'll talk about how to make GitHub run unit tests with every push to the repository by adding just one file to the repo. For free.  On Github Cloud. Sounds great, isn't it?

It is possible and very easy to do. Credit goes to @Dmitry Maslennikov (and his repo), ZPM Package Manager, and GitHub Actions.  Let's see how this all works!

It is becoming more and more common to see beautiful badges in the README.MD file with useful information about the current project in the repositories of GitHub, GitLab and others. For instance:

Hi Developers!

Suppose you want to create your ObjectScript library to be distributed via ObjectScript Package Manager. And there is an obvious question: what is the naming convention on the packages and class names?

Naming packages and classnames

There is already some accepted practice with package managers and we will follow the best practices in this field. The most reasonable and simple looks the approach with having company as the first package then project as the second and then classes and subpackages of the project.

The folder structure in this case looks like:

/src/cls/company/project/subp

Hello,

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

https://openexchange.intersystems.com/package/ObjectScript-Package-Mana…

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"

Then in the terminal, go inside one namespace:

zn "esbsscc"

After that we load and compile the .xml:

write $SYSTEM.OBJ.Load("C:\InterSystems\HealthShare_2\opt\contenedor\zpm-0.2.2.xml")

As you know it's very easy to publish a package to the Developers Community registry. 

But how to test it before publishing?  How to be sure that everything you introduced into module.xml is installed properly?

⏯ InterSystems Package Manager Advanced Topics

Hi developers!

ZPM Package Manager is getting more and more popular and thus the library of packages is growing.

And thus some solutions or samples can be built with InterSystems IRIS and one or two packages installed.

I want to share with you iris-docker-zpm-usage-template - a template that can be used exactly for this purpose.

You can create a new repository or clone it and change the package name to the one that is needed for you and once the docker image is built you get an InterSystems IRIS in a docker container with a package (or set of packages) you like.

By default it installs csvgen packag

Hi, Community!

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

This is really great!

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

I'd like to bring your attention to my two Virtual Summit sessions, even though they're not HALF as cool as Embedded Python.

Git & GitLab for Shared Development Environments details the newly-released git-source-control package (see also on the Open Exchange) which provides a new best-of-breed solution for server-side IRIS/Git integration, especially for shared remote development environments. (I need to write up a post about this package specifically and plan to do so soon.)

InterSystems Package Manager Advanced Topics shows that our package manager (affectionately referred to as "ZPM") is
