This is a self contained class that can be run from the Intersystems Task Scheduler which records peak usage details for databases and licenses built up throughout the day and retaining 30 days history.

To schedule the task to run every hour:  

d ##class(Metrics.Task).Schedule()

You can also specify your own start time, stop time, and run interval:

d ##class(Metrics.Task).Schedule(startTime, stopTime, intervalMins)

Metrics are stored in ^Metrics in the namespace that the class resides in/is run from.

^Metrics("SystemMetrics","Databases",{database},+$h,"usage",{metric})={value}

Hey Community,

We greatly appreciate all your feedback on the InterSystems Interoperability Contest! Please take a short survey and answer a few questions to help us improve our contests.

👉 Quick survey: Interoperability Contest Survey 2022

Feel free to share your feedback in the comments of this post as well!

I produce my monthly Review Report on OEX packages now for 18 months.
These are a view figures and some comments:

• Total packages checked = 669
• Packages tested and reviewed by myself = 294
• Packages reviewed by other community contributors = 41  
• Packages without review = 334
  • These are packages that promote partner products
  • or are mostly not available with a Docker set-up
  • or require resources unavailable to me (e.g. license keys)  
  • or I simply didn't understand the subject  (e.g most Health* subjects)

The availability of Docker containers allows me to keep clean my modest testing

Hi Community,

It's voting time! Cast your votes for the best applications in our Interoperability Programming Contest focused on building sustainable solutions:

🔥 VOTE FOR THE BEST APPS 🔥

How to vote? Details below.

My team is working on redesigning and implementing an Ensemble production on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform. We had to learn about Kubernetes and IKO.

We have webgateway pods that route incoming web traffic to compute pods where the Interoperability production is running.

Recently we had trouble while testing a SOAP interface. It’s a Generic SOAP Service passing a SOAP message to a Generic SOAP Operation. Sounds simple enough.

I got 404 response when we sent from Postman requests to the load balancer for our IRIS cluster.I could see the request in webgateway Access Log.

Hello, Community, I tried to deploy online demo for interoperability-test app. I see it errored because BuildKit is not available. Can the Docker be configured to support BuildKit?

If one of your packages on OEX receives a review you get notified by OEX only own YOUR package.   
The rating reflects the experience of the reviewer with the status found at the time of review.   
It is kind of a snapshot and might have changed meanwhile.   
Reviews by other members of the community are marked by * in the last column.

I also placed a bunch of Pull Requests on Github when I found a problem I could fix.    
Some were accepted and merged, and some were just ignored.     
So if you did a major change and expect a changed review just let me know.

Hi Community,

Also, we’ll discuss and answer the questions on how to build interoperability solutions using InterSystems IRIS and IRIS for Health.

Date & Time: Monday, August 29 – 09:00 AM EDT

Speakers:  
🗣 Tomas Studenik, CEO of Insane Business Ideas and co-founder of Caelestinus
🗣 @Dean Andrews, Head of Developer Relations  
🗣 @Evgeny Shvarov, InterSystems Developer Ecosystem Manager

Hi Open Exchange Members and Developers!

We have changed user experience for your applications management on Open Exchange
Please let us know in comments or direct messages how do you like it?

And please do not hesitate to ask me any questions if you have ones.

PS: More updates are coming soon, we will keep you posted.

Hi Community,

We're super excited to share with you a special session from Global Summit 2022! And it is so special to us because it is about us and with us! Please welcome:

🤩 InterSystems Developer Ecosystem @ Global Summit 2022 🤩 

I am starting to look at add-ons/enhancements that can be made to our environment as we move from 2018.1.3 to IRIS 2022.1.During one of our internal meetings it was mentioned that it would be helpful to gather and keep track of metrics as we move to IRIS 2022.1.I am looking to at trying to capture Message Count, Database size, global sizes, etc...Through Global Summit, and Open exchange, I know there is SAM, Grafana, and Promethus.I am struggling with getting SAM working on a Red Hat Environment using podman and not docker, but that is another story.

Hi,

I have tried to install the module git-source-control into my USER namespace, but get the following error.

ERROR! ObjectScript error: SQL error(s) have occurred during the running of the 'statsINFO()' method.  Invoke the following method for additional details: set errID=##class(%SYS.PTools.Stats).getPToolsError(...)  WHERE errRowID={2763|2764}>
  > ERROR #6084: Unknown errors detected, but no error code reported

This module works from other namespaces.   I decided to re-install the latest published version of ZPM, and tried to install git-source-control class again and get this now:

ERROR!

Hi Community, 
We have launched new challenges and badges on Global Masters: now you can submit bugs or pull requests for Open Exchange Applications and get points!

I was wondering if someone could help me. I do not have docker available to me however a lot of the Open Exchange apps require it. Since I am using a Virtual Windows Machine I can not get docker installed, so I was wondering how to get around this? Someone at GS2022 suggested looking at the docker_compose.yml to figure out how to get around docker, but I am not sure I understand how to read it. 

Does someone have any quick solutions to get around docker compose? Or can tell me how to read a docker compose so that I can install some Open Exchange and or additional InterSystems components?

Thanks

I am still working on iris-for-money app: https://github.com/oliverwilms/iris-for-money

Account.csp posts a rest call with _SYSTEM username and the password.

xhttp.open("POST", "/restapi/sql/" + query, true,"_SYSTEM","SYS");
xhttp.send();

/restapi web application has Password Authentication Method enabled.

SYS is the correct password for _SYSTEM user.

I do not understand why I see login failure in Audit database.

Motivation

This project was thought of when I was thinking of how to let Python code deal naturally with the scalable storage and efficient retrieving mechanism given by IRIS globals, through Embedded Python.

My initial idea was to create a kind of Python dictionary implementation using globals, but soon I realized that I should deal with object abstraction first.

So, I started creating some Python classes that could wrap Python objects, storing and retrieving their data in globals, i.e., serializing and deserializing Python objects in IRIS globals.

How does it work?

Like ObjectScript%DispatchGetP
