If you want to find out what exact version your Docker image is (and since the latest image tagging scheme you cannot just rely on the image tag; and assuming you don't want to actually run it just in order to find out) you can run this docker command:
The ability to resend messages easily has always been a strong feature of our Interoperability capabilities.
With v2024.3 coming out soon (available already now as Developer Preview) out already we've made this even easier!
Hi Developers!
Often when we develop some library, tool, package, whatever on InterSystems ObjectScript we have a question, how we deploy this package on the target machine?
Also, we often expect that some other libraries already installed, so our package depends on them, and often on some particular version of it.
When you code on javascript, python, etc the role of packages deployment with dependency management takes package manager.
So, I'm pleased to announce that InterSystems ObjectScript Package Manager available!

Question:
What version of Caché supports TLS v1.2?
Answer:
Caché 2015.2 announced support for TLS v1.1 and v1.2. In this version, the SSL/TLS configuration page provides checkboxes for TLS v1.1 and v1.2, which allows the versions to be configured individually. This allows sites to, for example, require TLS v1.2 only.
Additionally, some earlier versions of Caché provide undocumented support for TLS v1.1 and v1.2, specifically Caché 2014.1.3 and above and 2015.1, on Windows, Linux and Unix.
Here’s why: Caché uses the openssl library for SSL/TLS. TLS v1.1 and v1.

Full-Stack JavaScript development allows you to create state-of-the-art applications with Caché. With any (web) app you build nowadays, one has to make a lot of architectural decisions and you want to make the right ones. With the Node.js connector available for Caché, you can create a very powerful server side application server, allowing you to use the latest JavaScript technology and frameworks client- and server-side.
With all these new technologies, the most important is to integrate them in the most efficient way and to create a very productive development experience. This article willl get you started step-by-step with Node.js technology.
Hi Developers!
Recently we updated the design of Open Exchange and I want to describe how you can find the solutions you are interested in.

Caché process failures on RHEL V7.2
InterSystems WRC has investigated several issues of process failure that can be attributed to a recent change in Red Hat Linux.
A new feature implemented in RHEL V7.2 (systemd-219-19.el7.x86_64) can cause O.S. IPC (Inter-process communication) semaphores to be deallocated when a non-system RHEL user logs out (system users, i.e. with a UID number < 1000, are excluded)
Internally, Caché makes use of IPC semaphores to control the operation of Caché processes (for example when trying to wake-up a Caché process).
InterSystems is delighted to announce the support of Docker container technology as a platform from the moment 2016.1 will be released.
Docker is a disruptive system technology that has many benefits and offers many advantages for those investing in infrastructure-as-code or immutable-infrastructure provisioning & deployment scenarios.
Like any new technology that appears, there is a learning curve, and many considerations need to occur when using it. However, Docker container technology has already proven to be successful by a huge follow-up with many companies already using it in production.

It's been 6 months since InterSystems released Atelier 1.0 and we continue to roll out enhancements and new features through the beta channel (please see the Atelier Download page for details). In the meantime, we have received a lot of messages from the Developer Community with ideas for further improvements. Based on your feedback, we created a roadmap for Atelier 1.1 so you can conveniently track when specific features are going to be integrated.
Below is a list of the major improvements planned for 1.1, which we are expecting to demo at the Global Summit.

The Cogs.JsonClass library is now available in the Cogs project on GitHub.
https://github.com/SeanConnelly/Cogs
Please see the README and the /docs folder on how to use the class.
Overview
The Cogs.JsonClass class provides a one step serialisation and deserialisation to and from Caché registered and persistent classes. It is not dependent on any other code and should be compatible with older versions of Caché.
The unit tests have been included in the update, but until I release the dependent Touchstone unit test solution it won't be possible to run these tests.
It's almost a year since I have published a series of articles explaining how to configure Cache instance as a client / resource server / authorization server. By that time, the implementation of OAuth 2.0 was still a pre-release software.
With the advent of Cache version 2017.1 a lot has changed. OAuth 2.0 implementation is fully completed and supported. Numerous new features were added (e.g. dynamic client registration) - see release notes here for full details - and configuration pages have been redesigned to a great extent as well.
InterSystems is pleased to announce the Field Test release of Caché and Ensemble 2017.2.0
The entire product team at InterSystems looks forward to hearing about your experiences with this latest version of our Data Platform products.
You can get this release from the Field Test portal.
Those of you who keep an eye on developments in the mainstream of IT will be aware that a major upheaval has been occurring over the last 5 or so years, in which JavaScript has exploded in popularity and importance. Largely as a result of its server-side incarnation - Node.js - it has broken free of just being the scripting language that you use in web browser, to becoming the world's most popular language and enterprise technology of choice.
As soon as I started playing about with Node.
November 22, 2016 – Alert: Database Integrity on UNIX® and Linux Platforms
InterSystems has corrected a defect that may, in rare circumstances, result in database degradation on UNIX and Linux platforms.
This defect affects Caché, Ensemble, and HealthShare distributions beginning with Caché version 2012.1. It is only a possible risk on UNIX and Linux platforms that are using asynchronous I/O for database writes. The following table specifies if asynchronous I/O is always on or optional for the affected platforms and releases:

The product team at InterSystems looks forward to your participation in the field test and feedback over the coming months.
Some of the more signification changes in 2016.3 are new RESTful APIs for iKnow and broader APIs for programmatic control of multiple servers (enterprise manager). As always, there are a host of scalability and performance improvements, including improvements to the core database and SQL. And hundreds of smaller improvements and corrections.
