Muhammad,
What exactly do you mean by push alerts? Email alerts are quite straightforward to set up.
The following resources from learning.intersystems.com might be helpful. Basic course here:

Hello Muhammad,
Either documentation page explains the difference:
Embedded Language Development > ObjectScript > ObjectScript Reference > ObjectScript Functions > $INCREMENT
"$SEQUENCE and $INCREMENT can be used as alternatives, or can be used in combination with each other. $SEQUENCE is intended specifically for integer increment operations involving multiple simultaneous processes. $INCREMENT is a more general increment/decrement function.
$SEQUENCE increments global variables. $INCREMENT increments local variables, global variables, or process-private globals.
$SEQUENCE increments an integer by 1. $INCREMENT increments or decrements any numeric value by any specified numeric value.
$SEQUENCE can allocate a range of increments to a process. $INCREMENT allocates only a single increment.
SET $SEQUENCE can be used to change or undefine (kill) a global. $INCREMENT cannot be used on the left side of the SET command."
Hope that helps!
Note that copying the CACHESYS is not a general recommendation. You may choose to copy that database in specific situations if you are prepared to deal with potential consequences. In general, if you have problems with CACHESYS, using the installer would be the preferred option.
https://docs.intersystems.com/latest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=GORIENT_ch_enviro
This documentation states that "InterSystems does not support moving, replacing, or deleting this database."
Storage recommendations are covered on a separate page, here:
Preparing to Install InterSystems IRIS

Virat,
What exactly do you mean by database tuning? Robert and Vitaly mention how to tune a table for SQL optimization, but what exactly were you hoping to achieve?
I wonder if you meant something like configuring the memory settings for an instance, for which I'd recommend starting by reviewing this page of documentation:
Architecture > Scalability >Scalability Guide > Vertically Scaling InterSystems IRIS
Kevin,
That's pretty worrisome. <DIRECTORY> is not a problem with the command - it means the instance can't locate that directory - this case, the CACHESYS directory. I would be surprised if there aren't errors elsewhere in the Caché logs.
https://docs.intersystems.com/latest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=RERR_system
"There is no such directory on the target system, no Caché database, the Caché database is not mounted, or the database is locked by another configuration. For further details, refer to $ZERROR."
This might be a configuration issue, permissions issue, etc. Definitely would recommend opening a WRC at this point, if you can't identify the problem.
Kevin,
It sounds like your namespace prompt has been replaced with a directory path in the terminal. The /mgr path is for %SYS (or CACHESYS, technically), but the fact that it is displaying that way seems a little unusual. It sounds like you're entering the implied namespace for some reason.
Nothing immediately comes to mind for what could be causing this. You said "at some point", do you recall when that was and if any changes have been made?
I wonder if login auditing would give useful information on this. Does logging in as a different user or looking at the user you are using's security settings show anything?
May be worth opening a WRC, as that might be easier than troubleshooting through this forum.
Hello Michael,
John's suggestion might help. Alternatively, try "iris terminal" as I think that's the best practice.
Hello Lewis,
In my experience, aborting doesn't retry a message. I wonder if something in your production is resending the message? Do you see anything in the logs that speak to what is happening?
This may be worth opening a WRC about - if you do, I would be interested in hearing what you end up finding out.
Yakov,
I'm not sure I understand your comment. It sounds like the setting is working for the most part - when you add all the IPs (desired and undesired) you can see all messages flow. If you remove certain IPs from the list, you can see those IPs being rejected. There is a disconnect between that last sentence, and the behavior you are explaining where allowing IPs doesn't work.
Can you elaborate on this discrepancy?
Muhammad,
That "missing" class is shipped with the Health side of ISC products (ex. IRIS for Health, HealthShare UCR, Health Connect). The fact that it can't be found is somewhat worrisome, but you can narrow this down into 2 main possibilities.
1. the class actually doesn't exist on your instance. I would recommend finding out how that could have happened.
2. the class does exist, but can't be found by the process, potentially because of a namespace / mapping issue. I would take a look at your mappings to see why this class is not available.
Besides those 2 points, a few questions to ask would be: When did this start happening? What changed? Was this class able to be found before?
Hello Augusto,
I think you're at the right part of the documentation. I'm not sure what specifically you are asking about. The actual "upgrade" on Unix involves running cinstall as if you were installing a fresh instance, and you can target the existing instance. The docs cover what else needs to be done before/after that.
I hope that helps? I would definitely recommend testing the procedure to familiarize yourself.
I agree with Pravin that <STORE> errors generally indicate a lack of process private memory which you can try to address by raising that limit. Documentation on <STORE> errors here: https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=RCOS_vstorage#RCOS_C132257
The other practical side of things though - can you use smaller subfolders rather than one that needs to host so many files? Do you really want your process to have to scan through that many files?
Hello Muhammad,
I would recommend reading this section of the documentation on Assets and Resources.
"Users and applications interact with InterSystems IRIS databases through namespaces. While there are no privileges associated with namespaces, access to a namespace is granted or denied based on the privileges associated with the underlying databases. More specifically, to access a namespace, you must hold the Read privilege on the default globals database associated with that namespace."
Gary - as far as I know, the IRIS for Health docs should only be additional pages on top of the base IRIS documentation. Is there anything missing that you were looking for?
Hello Jennifer,
While ISC docs are down currently, here's a web archive link to the section that discusses VIPs in the cloud:
"Typically, a VIP cannot be used in cloud environments. For a review of the options for configuring application redirection following failover in a cloud environment by an InterSystems Principal Technology Architect, please see Database Mirroring without a Virtual IP Address on InterSystems Developer Community."
Here are links to that and another potentially useful article on the community.
https://community.intersystems.com/post/database-mirroring-without-virtual-ip-address
I would second Julian's suggestion (and also his note that having a password in plaintext would probably not be great), as OS auth is the most common solution I've seen for people looking to run scripts without needing to explicitly log in to terminal.
You mention authenticating by other means; delegated authentication is generally how you would implement custom authentication by writing a ZAUTHENTICATE routine. If you're not already familiar, see the docs:
https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=TSQS_DelAuth
That might be overkill for what you describe as a small tool though...
Depending on what this automation is, does it need to log in in the first place? Could you set it up as a task to run within IRIS? Perhaps a bit more detail on exactly what you want to do could point to other workarounds.
I look forward to seeing if other people have other solutions though.
Ah, I see, I've misinterpreted your query, apologies for that. I'm not sure about this behavior! If somebody doesn't have an answer for you, this sounds like something you could raise with the WRC.
Hello Eduard,
The following isn't a answer to your literal question, as that would probably take specific testing to see what the behavior would be. However, the best practice would be to stop a component while you're updating it. That applies to a business process and any other situation where you're updating an active component, to prevent any sort of compatibility or timing issues that could cause unexpected behavior in your production.
Jay,
I recognize your frustration. I'm not an expert on this topic but I think different antiviruses have different patterns that they check for and it might not be possible to avoid all false alarms.
Kaspersky have this to say on the subject:
https://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/answers/1870
"A false detection, or a false positive, is a case of incorrect detection of a clean file or website as infected.
Unfortunately, manufacturers of security solutions cannot avoid false detection. At Kaspersky, we continuously improve the product testing system and strive to decrease the number of false positives. However, it is impossible to completely avoid such cases, as new threats arise every moment."
Hello Evgeny,
The ^%SYS.NOJRN tags are actually not system-wide, and just at the process level. That being said, for changing the actual database journaling status, perhaps Lucas' solution makes sense.
For more info on disabling journaling, I think Tani's article series is great. Here's his chapter on some methods to disable journaling. Perhaps you'll find something useful to you now or later:
FYI, just a plug to avoid $zu commands whenever possible, as they're internal/deprecated and subject to change. $zu(12) can be replaced by %Library.File.NormalizeDirectory().
Here are the docs with almost all the $zu functions' modern replacements.
https://docs.intersystems.com/latest/csp/docbook/Doc.View.cls?KEY=RCOS_replacements
In that case, I would say go ahead and download IRIS. You're unlikely to run into a compatibility issue and you'll have access to the new IRIS features.
Hello Guilherme,
Why do you ask? I can't say literally everything to your 2 questions but the vast majority of things are available across products and OSes. A few technologies have been deprecated/removed from IRIS so those won't be available, you can read about those in the IRIS migration guide available from the WRC distributions. Separately, I'm aware that there are at least a few OS-specifics that are documented as exceptions.
Do you have specific functionality that you are concerned about?
I also did not see an overwrite server option, but when I saved the catalog.cls/inventory.cls files (I used command+s) and checked the ObjectScript explorer, I saw my classes had been updated and compiled. You could mention this to the online training team as well, as the "overwrite server" item might be a detail from a previous version of the tutorial.
I'm not sure if some particular sequence could cause you to need to manually check an "overwrite server" box.
Crys,
I'd recommend reaching out to onlinetraining@intersystems.com so they can look at your sandbox specifically, I don't think I can help with that.
Your link is personalized to your login so I wasn't able to load it, but I found ISC1064 Building Custom Business Operations. I didn't see any references to enslib explicitly when I scanned; can you point to which module or what the instruction is asking you to do?
The exercises I see refer to the INTEROP namespace, which I see is preinstalled in the lab.
If you find something that doesn't look correct in a course, you can reach out to onlinetraining@intersystems.com for guidance/correction.
edit: once I registered for the course your link then worked and brought me to 2.2 the section on adapters, but I still didn't see a specific reference to Enslib.
Agreed with Dmitry.
You can read more about community edition, including its limitations (there's also a 10gb and 5 connection limit) below. This also gives a sample of restricting cores using docker:
Deploy and Explore InterSystems IRIS
If this is for personal use, community edition and containers could be a good option. If you're working with an org, you might want to discuss with them (or your InterSystems rep) whether it would make more sense to get a full kit and license.
Hello Muhammad,
What problem exactly are you having? Enslib is a database, not a namespace, and I've tested that the database should definitely be installed on your version.
"ENSLIB — This is a read-only database contains additional code needed for InterSystems IRIS Interoperability features, specifically the ability to create productions, which integrate separate software systems.
If you create a namespace that is interoperability-enabled, that namespace has access to the code in this database."
Hello Michael,
I'll post this on Li's original post as well, but if this is on Windows I suspect this is an issue with using the default SYSTEM account. See the following doc:
Installing InterSystems IRIS on Microsoft Windows > Windows User Accounts
"When installing InterSystems IRIS, you must choose the Windows user account to run the InterSystems service. There are two options:
The default SYSTEM account (Windows Local System account). This is used in Minimal security installations.
A defined Windows user account.
Running the Windows InterSystems service under the default SYSTEM account is appropriate for many installations, but in some cases can cause issues relating to file permissions and network security access. If you anticipate potential problems in these areas for an InterSystems IRIS instance, for example due to your network configuration or security arrangements, specify an account for the Windows InterSystems service that has the needed privileges and/or access, such as a domain administrator account.
For instructions on how to change the service account after installation, see the Managing Windows User Access to the InterSystems IRIS Instance section."
