As the announcement of Studio's deprecation has been made, users may be wondering about making a smooth transition to VS Code.

George James Software has extensive experience in VS Code, through regularly contributing to VS Code itself and building and maintaining a number of Extensions. This, combined with our expert knowledge of InterSystems technologies, gives us an in-depth understanding of what the process involves and means we have the unique capabilities to ensure a smooth migration from InterSystems Studio to VS Code.

We offer bespoke consultation, with recommendations that are tailored to your organization's specific needs. Alternatively, we will be hosting a monthly public webinar that is designed specifically for users migrating from Studio to VS Code.

If you're ready to make the switch and would like to find out more, please come and speak to us at the Global Summit next week - you'll be able to find George James Software in the Partner Pavilion. Our team will be happy to chat with you about how you can ensure your migration is seamless.

Alternatively, you can send me a direct message here on the Developer Community, or email us at info@georgejames.com.

I want to connect IRIS system as it has all the database tables. on top of that I am creating a REST API in python. How can I connect to IRIS DB. here is my example code for connection

def connect():

connection_string = "localhost:1972/USER"

username = "_SYSTEM"

password = "SYS"

conn = iris.connect(connection_string, username, password)

after this connection is created but how can I get tables data. Please let me know more about how we can integrate IRIS database into a python REST API.

How to import Custom Schemas from VSCode? They look like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Category name="ITK" description="xmlns:hl7='urn:hl7-org:v2xml' xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'" std="1">
<MessageType name='ACK' structure='ACK' returntype='ACK' description='xsi:schemaLocation="urn:hl7-org:v2xml ACK.xsd"'/>
</Category>

Instead of wrapped XML export produced by $system.OBJ:

I am having code like this,

set args = []

set resultSet = ##class(%SQL.Statement).%ExecDirect( , sql_whereClause, args)

Instead of placing args[1],args[2] etc into the above I want to pass the whole args at a time if it possible.?

Unlike IRIS Studio have compile depended classes feature. How to achieve this in mac on Vscode.

Strap on this jetpack to boost your developer experience in Visual Studio Code.

DX Jetpack for VS Code was my entry for the 2023 Developer Tools Contest, where it achieved 2nd place in the Experts vote and 5th place in the Community vote. It is an extension pack for VS Code, bundling three entirely new extensions created by me, plus a couple that we at George James Software published previously.

The new extensions are:

• gj :: codeSpex
• ObjectScript Class View
• ServerDiff

If you're reluctant to install DX Jetpack right away, why not try it using a dev container? In the dev container is an InterSystems IRIS Community environment augmented with InterSystems Package Manager (IPM) and the isc-codetidy package.

Deltanji 7.1 is now available.

Key updates include: 

* Interoperability Production component driver included, for customers who have purchased the add-on. You can watch a short demo of it here.
* Implement multi-select delete of objects and components
* Add setting to give a passable Beyond Compare launch command line
* Support simplified Locations & Routes diagram 

For more information, read the release notes here >> https://bit.ly/3mHyJHc

Please get in touch with support@georgejames.com for your release kit. 

The update is also available for Serenji debugger users on VS Code, which has the Deltanji solo edition embedded. Simply update the Serenji extension to version 3.2.3 or later and load the server-side code. 

Our gj :: codeSpex extension for VS Code, which is part of the DX Jetpack, allows documentation to be displayed inline while you are coding classes. In some cases the documentation is extensive, and the lack of scrolling support in the VS Code comment element we are using was degrading the DX.

Why does my VSCode tell me I have 20 problems when I reference (20x) the class the method resides in? The compilation is without erros.

Am I doing something wrong?

Hi Developers,

Often we create and edit InterSystems IRIS Interoperability solutions via a set of UI tools that is provided with IRIS. But it is sometimes difficult to setup the development environment to handle changes we make in the UI to source control.

This video illustrates how git-source-control helps with source control Interoperability components while changing it in the UI.

Suppose I created a new DeepSee class to display a new item in the dashboard.

DeepSee.Component.datePick

Wich, in general, is just a copy of a similar class in %ZEN with minor changes. I need to include it in the base install. How can i do this? Am I ever allowed to change the composition of system classes?

How would one jump to a particular line by typing a tag and adding an offset in VS Code (zMethodName + n)? I know this can be done in Studio and would be particularly helpful for debugging error messages.

Is there an easy way to open classes in VS Code?

In studio you go open and just type the class name and it opens up the class.

In VS Code need to know the full path, is there a quick way? It is probably the one thing preventing from using VSCode full time (apart from not seeing the .luts or csp files)

I just released an update of the gj :: codeSpex extension containing a new feature - Exclusions.
