IRIS is a powerful platform and one of the new features is the Java Business Host (DOC: Connecting Systems Using Java Business Hosts) that allow you to develop Business Services and Business Operations directly in Java (JavaDocs of the InterSystems Gateway Package).

With the release of InterSystems IRIS, we're also making available a nifty bit of software that allows you to get the best out of your InterSystems IRIS cluster when working with Apache Spark for data processing, machine learning and other data-heavy fun. Let's take a closer look at how we're making your life as a Data Scientist easier, as you're probably already facing tough big data challenges already, just from the influx of job offers in your inbox!

This is the first follow up after the post about headstarting SAPJCo3 with Ensemble and HealthShare ( https://community.intersystems.com/post/headstart-connect-sap-using-sapjco3-ensemble-and-healthshare).

Using the wizard which is available with Version 2016.1 and up (currently only through direct call in the webbrowser http://<server>:<port>/csp/<namespace>/EnsPortal.Dialog.SAPJCO.BaseConfiguration.cls ).

Make sure you have a running production with a configured SAPJCoOperation. After entering the SAP Operation field and clicking on Change connect information you should see the „Connect to SAP was succesful“. Indeed this already calls a „PING“ remote function call (RFC)

Presenter: Gerd Nachtsheim
Task: Contribute to and influence open-source communities
Approach: Discuss how the joint efforts of people within and outside of InterSystems created our Hibernate driver and contributed to the Hibernate project
 

Description: The development of our latest Hibernate driver was a joint effort of multiple groups of people within and outside of InterSystems with different roles that was ultimately contributed to the Hibernate project. Come to this session to learn more about how open-source communities think and how you can leverage and contribute.

Problem: Everyone else appears to be doing open-source contributions, but it doesn’t fit into our company.

Solution: If you find an open source project that is interesting for you or your customers, contribute to that project and make it a better one that is also easier to use within your landscape.
