A "Must read" article for using Python with IRIS.

Very cool, @John McBride ! I think VSCode should have IPM extension.

There is another helpful app I'm using for similar purposes which IMO has a better UI - ZPM-Explorer by @Henrique Dias and @José Pereira . Maybe you could borrow some functionality.
 

@Timothy Leavitt - is there a video depicting the whole process of creating a new UI app using isc-rest?

Moved to a related post

Hi Tim!

A few questions on isc.rest.

1. What is the format of version:  <Version>1.2.2+snapshot</Version>?  

2. Does it relate to unit tests <Resource Name="/internal/testing/unit_tests/">
          <Attribute Name="Package">UnitTest.isc.rest</Attribute>? 

is it callable by zpm "test isc.rest"? 

3. Lifescycle class - is it mandatory for every package? It looks very complicated what is going on there. Why not use <INVOKE>?

4. Defaults:

What is this for? is it mandatory?

<Defaults>
        <ProcessorDefault Class="Default.Include">
          <Attribute Name="Format">UDL</Attribute>
        </ProcessorDefault>
        <ProcessorDefault Class="Default.Class">
          <Attribute Name="FilenameExtension">cls</Attribute>
          <Attribute Name="Format">UDL</Attribute>
        </ProcessorDefault>
        <ProcessorDefault Class="Default.Package">
          <Attribute Name="FilenameExtension">cls</Attribute>
          <Attribute Name="Format">UDL</Attribute>
        </ProcessorDefault>
        <ProcessorDefault Class="UnitTest">
          <Attribute Name="Format">UDL</Attribute>
        </ProcessorDefault>
      </Defaults>

Here is the article by @Benjamin De Boe that answers your question I hope .

What is the ODBC driver version you use?

Calling @Dan Pasco 

great stuff! It'd be fantastic to create a sample app out of it on https://openexchange.intersystems.com 

That's nice to have. I know there is a brilliant application by @Henrique Dias and @José Pereira 
 - IPM Explorer, which provides very impressive browsing capabilities along with a smooth install/deinstall functionality. Do you want to introduce something similar?

Hi @Xintong Li ! Great example! Do you want to publish the app on https://openexchange.intersystems.com?

Are you talking about generator for IPM/ZPM module.xml file?

Fantastic, @Anastasia Dyubaylo !

Congratulations to everyone who is involved! Thanks to all the DC contributors - now your contributions plus IRIS Vector Search technology + SerenityGPT solution will help to find answers quicker and not only in English - try other languages!

Please feel free to share your feedback here, not only negative ;) We are still learning how to leverage properly this innovation and will be glad to any feedback that will help to convert the technology to a true value!

Hi Robert! Yes, this is clearly the case where there is no answer on DC for the question, and AI compiled the answer from what it had, assuming maybe that JDBC and ODBC are "almost" the same, which is not true. That's why we have "Beta" in the service and a certain disclaimer.  

Perhaps for this question the accurate answer should be "I don't have the answer - ask the community." right?

@Brett Saviano , does it mean that all the code that uses  %ZEN.Auxiliary.altJSONProvider  should be rewritten using Dynamic Objects? 

BTW, is it possible to add sorting functionality in List View? E.g. click on Downloads or Author and get the list sorted?

Maybe this could be a setting in URL or the setting of a user?

Like the List View feature! Well done OEX team! 

Hi @Josep Balagué !

Export in .xml instead of .gof, should work.
