My previous article introduced you to SQL based Basic Class Query
where a clever wizard created all the required code for you and your essential
contribution was an SQL statement. 

Now we enter the real Custom Class Query thatprovides more freedom but
requires a deeper understanding of the mechanic behind the scene.
The full code example is again on GitHub

My previous article introduced you to the COS based Custom Class Query.
There were some features missing like more lines of the stream displayed
and numbered.

Hi Community, 

We are gathering again for the next Community Roundtable. Many of you asked for a roundtable about AL / ML, and we are delighted to bring such a roundtable to you!

Our invited expert from InterSystems: @tomdProduct Specialist - Machine Learning.

Join our 60-min discussion, prepare your questions, and use cases! There will be a short demo as well.

UPDATE: the recording is available here.

We are looking for Innovators!

We invite early stage startups to join Caelestinus digital health and FHIR startup incubator for the season 2023!

GREAT NEWS!!

Starting in April the InterSystems classroom course schedule will once again include public in-person classroom training in Cambridge.

Hi Community,

Please read this when you have the time and keep an open mind. Also, you are welcome to tell me it is a terrible idea.

The main reason for this post

If you look at NPM, it has 1.3 million packages. Now ask yourself, is this an achievement or a nightmare?
How many of those packages are no longer supported?
How many of those packages break compatibility on version changes?
How do you know which one to use?

Seeing results in SMP or Terminal

If you run the suggested queries from Terminal in  SQL shell you see:

Some technical background information

There is not just one class in this package:  rcc.gstream.cls but also rcc.gstreamT.cls

While rcc.gstream works with direct access to the stream globals, the *T version uses
a Process Private Global (PPG) as Temporary storage.
using  SELECT * FROM RCC.gstreamT WHERE RCC.useT('^jpgS')=1 and similar.

This might be an advantage for multiple access to the same stream in sequence,
The advantage is obvious: You have a personal snapshot in memory and no risk of
a conflict in access. This might be interesting if you work just on 1 specific stream.

Dear community!

It was an amazing 2022 with all of you. Great questions and articles around the whole year and this brings us the most valuable gifts -- wisdom and knowledge.
I want to thank you all for a great year full of fun and pleasure.

This community rocks.

Thank you Intersystems for being a strong partner to all of us.
I know some of my friends are now retired ( Gerd Nachtsheim *wave*) but I want to thank the whole team of Intersystems to make this year again a successful part of my life. Your products rock and I know I am a part of it next year.
God bless you all.
Happy New Year 

Hello, my name is Roger, I work in a big hospital in Brazil, I'm new to the MUMPS area, I was given an assignment to try to stabilize our MSM/MUMPS system, we have licenses for 1200 connections, however, the MSM starts having problems when we reach about 990 connections, the terminal has a timeout, it gets stuck. Looking at the MSM settings parameters I noticed the following default settings, could this be related?

Overview

Predictable storage IO performance with low latency is vital to provide scalability and reliability for your applications. This set of benchmarks is to inform users of IRIS considering deploying applications in AWS about EBS gp3 volume performance.

Summary

• An LVM stripe can increase IOPS and throughput beyond single EBS volume performance limits.
• An LVM stripe lowers read latency.

Today we have made the new CCR view page the default for CCR beta users.   

The option to toggle back to the classic UI is available in the navigation bar at the top and bottom of the page.

Please let us know of any issues you encounter or general feedback you have on the page, and thank you to everyone who tried the page in its initial release and provided us with great feedback already! 

Hi Community,

The day has arrived — InterSystems FHIR Healthtech Incubator Caelestinus Final Demo Day, November 30, 2022!

If you want prepare yourself or test a programmer for a job, this is my tip: https://www.hackerrank.com

Hi Community, 
Let's meet virtually at our first Community Roundtable! This will be a 45-minfriendly discussion on a given topic: VSCode vs Studio. 
Imagine that we just gathered together to share our thoughts, experiences, tips, and tricks. If you want to discuss specific questions within a given topic - please share them in the comments.
Watch recording:

Starting today, we have release the new CCR view page to beta users! 

As the view page contains a lot of functionality, we are giving users the ability to toggle their session between the new UI and the classic UI view pages.   Your sessions will default to the classic UI for now, but beta users will see a "View in New UI" button in the nav bar for Tier 0 and 1 CCRs:

Similarly, the new UI page will have a "View in Classic UI" button at the top:

At any time, disabling your beta user flag will return you to the Classic UI for viewing CCRs.

Hello,

First of all thanks for reading this post and thanks for replying:

I think it could be obvious or a little bit naive but I was wondering if a software developer needs as a must or should get his/her own personal laptop or computer, appart the one from their own bussiness or company?

What laptop or computer would you recommend for personal use? For general purpose: programming, leisure, surfing the net, etc.

Thanks for your replies.

Greetings.

What advice would you give someone who is new to IT?

Someone who wants to become a developer?

Which code to start learning first?

We are ridiculously good at mastering data. The data is clean, multi-sourced, related and we only publish it with resulting levels of decay that guarantee the data is current. We chose the HL7 Reference Information Model (RIM) to land the data, and enable exchange of the data through Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR®).

We are also a high performing, full stack team, and like to keep our operational resources on task, so managing the underlying infrastructure to host the FHIR® data repository for purposes of ingestion and consumption is not in the cards for us.

Hi Community, 

Join us for an InterSystems Developer Meetup during TechCrunch Disrupt 2022!

We’ll be meeting on Wednesday, October 19th at Bartlett Hall, located at 242 O’Farrell St. (just a few short blocks from the Moscone Center) starting at 6 pm through 8:30 pm PT, where speakers will discuss how developers can bring the code to the data, not data to the code with Embedded Python and Integrated ML on InterSystems IRIS.

Food and drinks will be served accompanied by discussions. 

Agenda:
