Hi Community!

Come join us on Developer Week in NYC on 18-20 of June!

InterSystems has signed on for a high-level sponsorship and exhibitor space at this year's DeveloperWeek, billed as "New York City’s Largest Developer Conference & Expo". This is the first time we have participated in the event that organizers expect will draw more than 3,000 developers  from 18th to 20th June.

Start of Professional Activities!

The Institute of Space and Information Technologies of  Siberian Federal University with the support of InterSystems International Corporation hosts the International Summer School "Start of Professional Activities" from July 9 to July 27, 2018  in Krasnoyarsk, Russia and invites all students majoring in IT to participate. 

Too often users finding themselves in need of a software solution do not consider “open source” vs. “proprietary” alternative. Most of them either have their go-to favorite developer or just google for reviews and ready-made answers. However, this alternative must be the starting point of their search, as the decision has the most consequences.

It is not an overstatement to say that open source is the future of technology, albeit, it has its own unique challenges. Here is what users, especially corporate users should consider choosing the software for their business needs.

Hi Everyone!

New webinar "Rest API Design and Development" is available now on  InterSystems Developers YouTube Channel:

This data set demonstrates a basic M:N relationship between 2 tables
The dataset is targeted to show a slim implementation of M:N
It's no question that other implementations exist. But at significantly more storage consumption.

Hi, Community!

There would be a webinar in two days by analysts Steve Duplessie and Mike Leone from Enterprise Strategy Group and Joe Lichtenberg, director of marketing for Data Platforms at InterSystems. They will present their recent research on operational and analytics workloads on a unified data platform and discuss the top database deployments and infrastructure challenges that organizations are struggling with, including managing data growth and database size and meeting database performance requirements.

Hello everyone,

From now till the 25th of december each day 2 programming problems to sharpen your programming skills.

http://adventofcode.com/

Theme this year:

The night before Christmas, one of Santa's Elves calls you in a panic. "The printer's broken! We can't print the Naughty or Nice List!" By the time you make it to sub-basement 17, there are only a few minutes until midnight. "We have a big problem," she says; "there must be almost fifty bugs in this system, but nothing else can print The List.

A request came from a customer to estimate how long it would take to encrypt a database with cvencrypt utility.

This question is a little bit like how long is a piece of string — it depends. But its an interesting question. The answer primarily depends on the performance of CPU and storage on the target platform the customer is using, so the answer is more about coming up with a simple methodology that can be used to benchmark the CPU and storage while running cvencrypt.

Methodology

1. Copy a large and representative CACHE.DAT file to target storage
2. Create a keyfile via System Management Portal

Hello all.
I think the forum experience is great as whole, but it could improve even more if we had somewhere to share our ideas. So that's why I'm creating a thread dedicated for that purpose. Maybe this way someone from InterSystems could catch something good?

Sign up for a 45-minute one-on-one training session with one of our talented technical personal trainers. All sessions take place during the Global Summit beginning Monday afternoon and ending mid-day on Wednesday. Sessions will be held in the Learning Services area located in the Tech Exchange.

See the list of experts and book today. 

To most of us it's almost dogmatic that $H can't be negative!

This is correct concerning the COS Special Variable $HOROLOG.
No doubt. It's the presentation of the actual date & time.
http://docs.intersystems.com/latest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY…

For dates before 1841 it's suggested to use Julian date before 1841.
Good for calculations.
But what about values in $H_format ?
Conversion functions $ZD(), $ZDT(), $ZDH(), $ZDTH() and  
for SQL  $system.SQL.TOCHAR() and $system.SQL.TODATE()
take  care of the conversion to human readable date. You know this.
But Julian date as input

Hi, Community!

Hi All,

We have a application currently running on Zen framework, now business wants to use Angular JS as their front-end technology for any future release but they don't want to upgrade the existing the modules which are already there in Zen (as of now).

Hi, Community!

Recently we announced Developer Community Meetup in Cambridge, MA. Let me describe what is it. 

Meetup it's a one evening event where you can enjoy some sessions by presenters (today InterSystems engineers, tomorrow you can be a presenter) and chat with local developers and InterSystems developers, engineers and product managers (depends on who is in town) and discuss your problems, experience, and success with InterSystems technologies.

InterSystems would provide the place, technical sessions, some food and beverages. 

We think the Developer Community would benefit from it.

Hi, Community!

Let me share the news about  InterSystems Technology Student Contest we just have launched!

Question:

Where can I find the openssl command line tool for Windows?

Answer:

The openssl command line utility comes with Unix, but not with Windows. It is used for working with security certificates.

The main site is

https://www.openssl.org/

There are no binaries on this site but in the Community section there is a link for binaries which leads to:

https://www.openssl.org/community/binaries.html

This contains a link to "An informal list of third party engines":

https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries

At the time of writing this had two entries for OpenSSL for Windows. I chose the first one:
