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.
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.
I'm sure most of you have already familiar with the possibility of using GZIP in InterSystems products. But, the problem is that GZIP working only with one file or stream, and it does not support folders. When you work in Unix systems, there is a possibility how to solve it, using tar compress tool which goes with every Linux system from out of the box. But what to do if you have work on Windows as well, which does not have it.
I am pleased to offer you my new project isc-tar, which will help you do not care about operating system, and deal with tar files anywhere.
This is a quick tutorial how to install and use TFS in Atelier. It is based on my self experience and some tricks that I 've noted.
If you are used to using visual studio maybe you feel that is a bit slow and heavy, but you have the same TFS panel as you have in Visual Studio, so don't need any special "training" to use it
Can someone tell me if intersystems-ru/deepsee-sysmon-dashboards is developed for a specific version of Ensemble? Looks like it could be useful to my group but we aren't upgrading till later this year and we are on 2015.2.2.
Is anyone in the fine community of developers who work with ISC technologies looking at Microsoft's Visual Studio Code offering?
One of Bill McCormick's recent posts about Atelier referred to Visual Studio being considered the best IDE. Granted, Code is far less of a tool than VS, and probably always will be. But it claims to be open source and cross-platform, i.e. Linux and OS X as well as Windows.
Is anyone using Veritas NetBackup 8.1 to backup Caché database? DB is on Linux 7.4 on host running VMware ESXI 6. Size of DB is about 1.5TB. Any advice on integrating with freeze/thaw.
We are proud to annouce our latest release of CachéQuality to help you to find and solve coding errors, refactoring, help to follow you coding guidelines, etc. You can check the latest release notes here.
At the global summit in Phoenix, we (Lite Solutions) will be presenting a tool performing static code analysis on ObjectScript source files. You can see it in action at this URL:
As a developer, usually I'm concerned about how my code health is, and how the other coders code can affect to my own work. And I'm quite sure most of us feel very similar.
In our company we use a Static Code Analysis tool to analyze code for different languages to ensure we are writing high quality and easily maintainable code by following a few best practices in terms of code structure and content. And the question was: why should be different for Caché ObjectScript language?
In this article I would like to present the RESTForms project - generic REST API backend for modern web applications.
The idea behind the project is simple -after I wrote several REST APIs I realized that generally, REST API consists of two parts:
Work with persistent classes
Custom business logic
And, while you'll have to write your own custom business logic, RESTForms provides all things related to working with persistent classes right out of the box. Use cases
You already have a data model in Caché and you want to expose some (or all) of the information in a form of REST API
You are developing a new Caché application and you want to provide a REST API
This is the first article of a series diving into visualization tools and analysis of time series data. Obviously we are most interested in looking at performance related data we can gather from the Caché family of products. However, as we'll see down the road, we are absolutely not limited to that. For now we are exploring python and the libraries/tools available within that ecosystem.
