If you're interested in building a browser-based CRUD application for maintaining data on IRIS, check out the detailed, step-by-step tutorial at:

https://github.com/robtweed/qewd-microservices-examples/blob/master/WIN…

To get a preview of the application you'll build in the tutorial, along with background on its technology stack, watch this video:

I've created a new repository that I will use for providing examples of various scenarios and use cases for QEWD

https://github.com/robtweed/qewd-microservices-examples

Initially it contains a example of a scenario I'm often asked about: a set of REST APIs, with JWT support, implemented as a set of QEWD MicroServices, each of which uses Cache or IRIS running on a Windows system.

What I've provided is a detailed, step-by-step guide (with detailed explanations) of how to set up such a system.

Simple problem:

1. I leave a long-running command in terminal
2. Switch to another task(s)
3. Remember that I need to check on my command after a few hours

Is there any way to force terminal to the foreground after current command ends?

This is Windows with cterm/iristerm although Putty/Kitty solution would also be nice.

Download  MX  into folder  C:/mx   (if Windows)

Create the REST application MX in IRIS namespace USER:

• USER> do ^%REST …………
• USER> do $System.OBJ.ImportDir(“c:/mx”,”vmx.ro”,”ck”,,1)
• USER> do $System.OBJ.ImportDir("c:/mx","rest.xml","ck",,1)

Prepare excel sheet - place on it mx-formulas and mumps-commands:

To connect excel correctly, you must first specify the server address and port in MX_CONFI.xlsb sheet 'connections'. Port see in ^|"%SYS"|%SYS("WebServer","Port").

Run MX.XLSB. Commands written on sheet created a test global on the server and the interface buttons.

Good Day;

looking at disabling Telnet - on Windows - Cache 2012,2017. The security scans don't need it on network.

But still leave users able to use `Terminal - direct - on the box should be fine.

am posting here for quick refs (as this is a common security vulnerability out there).

Hello everyone :-)

I would like to update Atelier from version 1.0.262 to the 1.3 one. So I clicked on Help --> Check for updates, and I get these first error messages:

"No updates were found in available software sites."

"Some sites could not be found. See the error log for more detail." etc. cf picture below talking about Proxy Authentication.

Now that the InterSystems IRIS Data Platform Community Edition is available on Docker Hub (https://hub.docker.com/_/intersystems-iris-data-platform), it seems like a great time to try InterSystems IRIS in a container. For some time already, the community edition has been available in the cloud, for example on AWS (https://community.intersystems.com/post/free-iris-community-edition-aws), but maybe it would be nice to try it locally as well. Fellow Windows users are no doubt used to eye rolling, being told “YMMV”, etc., whenever they mention using Docker for Windows.

is there a way to send commands to the CMD in windows form COS I would like to run an application within COS by sending a command to the CMD

Terminal scripts can be used to run pre-designed commands on the terminal, like a batch file.  You can write anything that can be executed on terminal, like for loop, if else and so on,  inside Terminal scripts. In this article, I will show you how to call Terminal scripts, how to use parameters in Terminal scripts and how to avoid session disconnected when running Terminal scripts. If you have any information about how to use Terminal scripts or you have any feedback, please feel free to leave a comment.

I loaded 2017.2 onto a windows desktop that I was going to use for testing. I need to now uninstall 2017.2 but when I do I get a ERROR saying it can not find the INSTANCE name, when there is HEALTHSHARE defined.

Has anyone else had this issue? I would like to uninstall this version and start over from scratch without having to re-image my machine.

Thanks

Scott

Hi guys,

Mostly the title.  Let's say my commands are stored in a text file "inFile".  Here was my best guess:

<dir to iris> console IRIS2018 <inFile

For reference, here's an example of the analogous structure that works on Cache:

C:\InterSystems\Cache2018\bin\cache -s C:\InterSystems\Cache2018\mgr -U <namespace to start as> <inFile

I think the problem is this:  When the Cache prompt is started, it opens in the same terminal as the line that started it, so passing inFile to standard input effectively types out inFile's lines as login info or commands in Cache.

Hi All,

I need some help with sending PDF files to printer using cache instead of using third party tools(Adobe, foxit reader, etc..).
Sometime i getting access issue with the exe files.

Can able to send text data to printer using below code.

Set Dev="|PRN|PrinterName"
OPEN Dev:(/DATATYPE="TEXT"):80
USE Dev Write "Test printing",!
CLOSE Dev

Any suggestions on sending PDF to printer?

I'm new to Iris, trying to follow this guide ( https://community.intersystems.com/post/k-means-clustering-iris-dataset ) about using clustering. I've followed all instructions until showing the data. At that point, `dataFrame.show()` fails with `java.sql.SQLException: Access Denied`.

I'm using IRIS 2018.12.609.0 on Windows 10 Pro 64 bits. Python is 3.6.6, PySpark is 2.3.1, installed from Anaconda (Python 3.6.6 |Anaconda, Inc.| (default, Jun 28 2018, 11:27:44) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32).

I want to connect to my local terminal via Eclipse in Windows. I am able to connect to the server but not my own machine. It opens from "cube icon" -> Terminal but I want to open and connect to it in Eclipse.

How should I connect to it?

Hi,

I need list all available Windows AD groups .

How I do it?

I need to change the attributes of Windows Users of AD, adding and remove groups.

Note: I was able to make the connection to LDAP, and I listed the groups that a user.

This is probably a very naive question but :
Is it possible to create a Windows executable file from a Cache MUMPS (COS) routine, such that the routine can be run directly from Windows ?
If so, could some kind soul direct me to a source of information that describes the process.
I am using the free Intersystems Cache installation (CachePCkit V2017.1) on Windows 10 for my own use & personal development.

Thanks

I am using the free Intersystems Cache installation (CachePCkit V2017.1)  on Windows 10 for my own use & personal development.
I am writing routines in Studio & running them in the Cache terminal TRM:3672 (TRYCACHE).
From a routine, how do I control print position within the terminal screen. I have tried using $X and $Y but this does not work and I cannot find what I need within the Cache terminal documentation.

Hope this question is not too simplistic for Members.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.

 This the issue i am getting while trying to install atelier using eclipse oxygen 
I have done using this link https://download.intersystems.com/download/atelier.csp
My system is windows 10. How to reslove it.

This 'feature' have been around for a long time, but I don't see any articles on it so I thought I would make everyone aware.

A method is provided to customize the appearance of the Cache cube icon in the system tray so different instances can be visually distinguished.  When csystray.exe, the Cache/Ensemble cube program, starts, it will look for files named "up.ico" and "down.ico" in the \bin directory below the instance installation directory.  If these .ico files are present, csystray.exe will load the icons and display them in place of the default blue and gray Cache/Ensemble cube icons.

DC readers running Caché etc on Windows, configuring the Telnet service to use SSL/TLS, and using the Caché Telnet client (CTerm.exe) to make the Telnet connections may like to know that there's a fault in 2017.1 and 2017.1.1 which prevents CTerm.exe from establishing the secure connection.

Workaround is to use a pre-2017.1 kit to install on your client machines (e.g. 2016.2.2), or to fetch the bin\cconnect.dll from an earlier version (I used 2016.2.2) and use it as a replacement for the 2017.1 / 2017.1.1 copy.

Hello, I am writing to request assistance on an issue I appear to be having when accessing Ensemble. I have it running on a Windows virtual machine, on a Mac laptop, and am trying to access it through the emergency ID account. When starting Ensemble through the command line window using ccontrol start ENSEMBLE /Em.

Have you ever thought what could be a reason why some development environment (database, language) would eventually become popular? What part of this popularity could be explain as language quality? What by new and idioms approaches introduced by early language adopters? What is due to healthy ecosystem collaboration? What is due to some marketing genius?

Does anybody else have problems installing the  Caché 2017.1 FT for Win_x64?

I'm getting an error "Unable to execute the required file: The following system error has occurred: The system cannot find the file specified. (2)"

This is happening with the very latest version (build 726) and the previous one ( build 720), whereas the builds before were fine.

I've uninstalled Caché to see whether it was an upgrade vs clean install problem but it makes no difference.

Hi,

Thanks for your time.

Plain $ZF(-1) and $ZF(-2) calls from Cache Studio or Terminal have stopped launching the OS shell from Win10.

cmd (Windows Command Prompt) should be launched.

Configuration:

Windows 10 Anniversary Update, Ensemble 2016.2.0.585.0 Developer Edition x64

Is this common? I have enabled both %Developer role and a Cache CallOut privilege for all users that operate in this scenario.

In Terminal, W $ZF(-1) prints -1, W $ZF(-2) prints -1

In Studio, W $ZF(-1) hangs the IDE, W $ZF(-2) prints 0

In all four cases, cmd (Windows Command Prompt) is not launched!

Any ideas, anybody?

Greetings.

I'm currently struggling with launching a routine from the command prompt using ccontrol.

Basically I have a routine with a parameter which works fine using the following:
ccontrol cterminal ^ANDYTST(\"c:\temp\\\") USER

This receives c:\temp\ then in the routine.
However, when there is a space inside the parameter it assumes that it receives a script.
I can still run it using ccontrol terminal, but that then tells me the argument is invalid.
Therefore, is there something like a placeholder for whitespaces?
And, is it possible to hand it the credentials?

When my COS code is executing in a Caché process it might want to interact with the host operating system. For the purpose of this post I'm focusing on a Windows host, but much of it applies to other host OS platforms as well.

A common example of host OS interaction is when my process wants to read from or write to a file. What credentials will apply when Windows is checking whether or not to allow me access to the file?

To answer that we need to consider another question. How did our process start?

I am pleased to announce the next 2016.2 field test kit, 2016.2.0.605.0.

There are about a hundred changes from the previous field test kit, including the following fixes to problems found by those using the kits in the field:

• DLP3516, which fixes a problem in the Demo.Document.Data.Loader class
• RJW2416, which fixes a problem with the telnet client disconnecting on Windows

One additional change of note: in this kit we have changed the on-disk format for DOCUMENT data.

Is there a recommended way to deal with the unattended reboot that happens when Windows Updates are applied?  These reboots cause issues with running Ensemble produtions.
