A programming tool or software development tool is a computer program that software developers use to create, debug, maintain, or otherwise support other programs and applications.
Someone may have asked this before but is there a way to return the TRACE statements that we have placed in the Data transformation within the DTL Editor Testing Tool (EnsPortal.Dialog.TestTransform.cls)? Is this something we can get in an Enhancement request in for?
It would save sometime in troubleshooting where an error might be in the DTL.
During my search for a snapshot of a persistent object, I met a feature that I would like to share as it could be useful in some special situations. My trigger was to have a before- and an after-image during unit testing.
Sometimes you need quickly and easily import data into IRIS. For this, an IRIS import manager has been developed.
This application allows you to import JSON data and also provides a really simple interface for transferring data from MongoDB collections to IRIS globals. It has never been so easy.
I'm sure it was mentioned in some thread. I just can't find it anymore.
There is some setting that allows exporting .mac,.int,.cls from IRIS in a way that it can be imported by Caché without fiddling in the generated XML files
I am using the Java Binding to connect a Java Middleware Application to Cache. Originally I was using a CacheListOfDataTypes (JAVATYPE = "java.lang.List") object to bring data back. I was tasked with encrypting the data using AES and I was using the AESCBCEncrypt function on the List elements (up to 20k characters for each element) to bring it back before concatenating it on the middleware. This almost worked. Like 95% of the characters were being decrypted correctly but some text was coming back garbled. I couldn't understand how this was happening.
I found the need to merge 2 Docker images (e.g. intersystems/iris-community:2020.2.0.199.0 + my home grown NodeJS Image). I found some advice on the Web but no real convincing solution.
Allow limited durability for demo and development IRIS-Docker-micro-Durability During development of a container based demo I found the need to access a fresh docker an instance of IRIS image (e.g intersystems/iris-community:2020.2.0.199.0) over and over. To bypass loading my code repeatedly I developed this workaround.
One of the topics that comes up often when managing Ensemble productions is disk space:
The database (the CACHE.DAT file) grows in a rate that was unexpected; or the Journal files build up at a fast pace; or the database grows continuously though the system has a scheduled purge of the Ensemble runtime data.
It would have been better if these kind of phenomena would have been observed and accounted for yet at the development and testing stage rather than on a live system.
For this purpose I created a basic framework that could aid in this task.
Working from home during these Corona-days I'm short on resources. - no Linux machine available - limited disk space So I decided to give Docker in Windows 10 (named Docker Desktop) a try.

Despite the fact that InterSystems has long recommended using external backup tools, many users have opted to use the internal Online Backup facility, which is included in all distributions of InterSystems products (IRIS Data Platform, Caché, etc.). The reasons why are quite obvious:
Dasha.AI is a platform that allows you to create and manage voice interfaces for your applications. One of Dasha’s distinctive features is that most users believe they are talking to a human, not a robot.
Voice is the most natural way for people to interact. Dasha allows to use voice interface to interact with your application as naturally as communication between people.
Have you ever needed a math function but could not find what you needed and ended up writing your own? Look no further! ObjectScript-Math is here to solve all your math related function needs.
ObjectScript-Math is an Open Source library for ObjectScript Math functions. It is now available on Open Exchange. This library contains a mix of new functions that are not currently available and functions that are available. The existing functions will be wrapped for use from ObjectScript-Math so that all Math functions can have a central location.
This library will continue to grow, so give it a try and give your feedback!
Don't see what you are looking for? Please feel free to submit requests for additional functions or contribute code yourself!
In the previous part of this series, we saw how to reference a web page that will enhance our dashboard experience. Now we will look into referencing data that is already in our cubes.
In this example, we will be referencing the controller object and we will be extracting data from it. This data will then be displayed as text in our Dashboard. In Part 5, we will show how to incorporate this data into other charting libraries.
When dealing with a support issue of one of our Deltanji source control sites this week I learned that if you're using InterSystems versions earlier than 2018.1 on Unix-type platforms it's possible that a class you export in UDL format will subsequently fail to import. So I'm posting this information here in case it helps other folk.
Hello everyone, After some work with IRIS we want to share our ToolBox-4-Iris with you.
What is this about?
The ToolBox-4-Iris is an API for IRIS with a collection of handy and useful tools - features that are not available in IRIS, but greatly simplify application development. To save time and effort on the "typical tools" that every developer needs. This includes additional classes, individual methods or even more efficient macros, which are described in the respective packages.
I'm trying to open an XML that I get inside a GZIP file. However, I can only open the contents when I save the file to a folder. I would like to know if there is a way to get the contents of XML without saving the GZIP in a folder.
The code below is functional, however, you are saving GZIP before you can get the contents of the XML.
Hello everyone, it took some time but I'm finally getting things done again. Phew!
But for now, allow me to introduce a tool that I've been using frequently.
I call it Forgery.
This description has been taken from my GitHub repository, also available on OpenExchange:
This is more for my memory that anything else but I thought I'd share it because it often comes up in comments, but is not in the InterSystems documentation.
There is a wonderful utility called ^REDEBUG that increases the level of logging going into mgr\cconsole.log.
During testing your code you are often confronted with the need to examine the actual content of an object. Either using ZWRITE or $system.OBJ.Dump() you get a picture of simple properties as "--- attribute values ---" while "--- swizzled references ---" are more confusing than informative and with "--- calculated references ---" you are just left in the lurch.
This small helper class allows you to dump an object to terminal or e.g in background to some stream for later review. By default, you see just properties with content,
I' have done some tests with Caché and Apache Zeppelin. I want to share my experince to use both systems together. I'll try to describe all steps that are required to config Zeppelin to connect to Caché.
The InterSystems DBMS has a built-in technology for working with non-structured data called iKnow and a full-text search technology called iFind. We decided to take a dive into both and make something useful. As the result, we have DocSearch — a web application for searching in InterSystems documentation using iKnow and iFind.
