The difference in the user owner of the IRIS process, System Management portal is a web process and runing under system user of IRIS irisusr, and your terminal process is under your user.

What is the actual problem with it? 

All export import for the code should work the same no matter of OS.

There are no ARM versions, since they said, that no more dedicated arm64 image names. And supposed to be the same name for both platforms. But, looks like something went wrong, and now no arm at all

And I'm just got my M2, and now with no updated preview builds.

Could you explain a bit more, about what do you you want to achieve?

set ws("A1") = "blah"

is just multilevel variable

if you have object in ws, with field A1, than 

set ws.A1 = "blah"

or 

set $property(ws, "A1") = "blah"

While WinSQL does not offer direct support for InterSystems products, out of the box, and as far as I know, no plugins exist. I would recommend switching to something with better support, e.g. Datagrip or DBeaver.

Or if it's required using WinSQL, you may write a plugin for it or order it (I can help with it), which will offer better support.

Should be quite simple, in some cases even without any configuration. Any ClassMethod has a shortcut to Debug it

Some more settings for different cases, you can find here

So, actually I have no idea why this file is there, but it's something else, there should be another file like intersystems_irispython-3.2.0-py3-none-any.whl, and it should be installable

When the google group was quite active, years ago, I did some analytics as well, and as I remember, there were quite similar numbers as well. And we had a dedicated Russian forum and had just about 10 active people there.

My suggestion is, that, Developers on InterSystems technologies are not used to using the Internet for their issues. They probably may ask colleagues by company, but not the Internet. As you would see on StackOverflow, there is a huge amount of questions and answers on any language and technology. And even so, we have jokes, that some developers write code by copy-pasting code from StackOverflow. But apparently, it's not the case with ObjectScript and IRIS. And we have just a few questions per year on StackOverflow and only a couple or so people who would answer there.

So, I think, InterSystems developers mostly prefer to solve issues on their own. And this is a main issue as well. Because they may miss some new features that appeared in the technology, some useful projects or technics.

And I'm sure that, any involved developer should be part of spreading the importance of using DC amongst his colleagues and encourage them of using it, at least to read articles.

Yeah, that's really, so. Redis has that feature, so you can set a time to live for the value, and it will disappear after that. In IRIS The only way to have something that will be deleted automatically is, Process-Private Globals, but their time to live is tied to the process, and you would still need to clean up if your process is long living.

What exactly do you want to achieve?

JDBC Drivers are not applications, so, there is nothing to execute, it is supposed to be used by another application, which can work with JDBC drivers.

Dmitry Maslennikov · Jan 4, 2023 go to post

Yeah, actually, in several projects I've used %CSP.REST to process the whole application. Static web files and REST itself. And the main cause to do so is that the internal webserver did not accept index.html as default index. So, it required to putting it manually to the URL, or using %CSP.REST, which work with static files, and correctly processes index.html. And it requires just one Web Application configured. But in case, when an application is partly anonymous, requires more attention to security.

Debugging uses WebSockets, so, make sure that your web server is configured properly for WebSockets.

Dmitry Maslennikov · Jan 4, 2023 go to post

Any reasons for doing this? This is not how it is supposed to be. REST should answer with Status 401, and optionally  with methods available. And web application when gets 401, it knows that it has to authorize the user, and shows its own page or initiates SSO, depending on the task.

Anyway, if really do this way, It looks like %CSP.REST extends %CSP.Login, and it has Method Login

Called for a REST page in the event of a login being required

Did not test it, but I would expect it will do what requested

Yeah, with docker it will be easier to offer a working environment

And we already have a lot of open-source projects, based on docker. But switching most of those projects from Community Edition to normal now will require additional configuration, on adding webserver container next to IRIS. And I think we should think already about it, and produce new projects, even on Community Edition, with WebServer as well. So, it will be easily switched for any reason.

Yeah, I would not expect less, from such an experienced man. But, I'm mainly worried about beginners. 

Offical Apache, does not offer any builds for Windows, it offers using 5 third-party projects, one of them with a dead link. And even mentioned by offering 4 different builds of the same version. And not everyone can easily decide which version is needed.

Dmitry Maslennikov · Dec 21, 2022 go to post

Seriously?

As you can find below, using IIS can be forbidden by company policy. And I totally agree with that.

Installing Apache on Windows, it's quite a trick. Fortunately, I'm not a windows user, but as far as I know, it's not so simple to find Apache on Windows, there are a few different builds of it.

And Installing nginx which will work with IRIS, even requires building it from source code, according to InterSystems Documentation

So, yes. I'm strictly staying with my position. That even installing a webserver may cause pain. And on top of that, if it will require a production-ready configuration, with restricted access, became even trickier.

I mean, a lot of stuff still really depends on a web server. It's quite difficult for a beginner to do anything useful, having bare IRIS, without any web server. SMP is a dependency, Atelier API is a dependency and so on

Dmitry Maslennikov · Dec 20, 2022 go to post

But it should be a bit more gentle way, first of all, remove any dependencies of this, or make them at least optional.
