What exactly do you want to achieve? InterSystems products already support compression for any web implementations.

You can switch it on in CSP Gateway settings, and on a server side in session. Look at the documentation.

Looks like you have a custom SQL Storage. And in this case, you have to have manually defined storage for indexes as well. And only after that, it will build indices.

ZEN page means that it works somewhere outside of your server. $zf calls some executable right on the server, and with some limitations.

So, short answer NO, you can't do it.

It would be better if you would explain why you need it. So, we may help to find you the right way or more to solve it.

If you have only one server for multiple developers, it will be not so easy to make it work very good.

The best way is to use own server by each developer. This tool exports locally to the server, but the developer should have access to those place from their machine. 

Why do not move to Atelier or VSCode? There will much easier to organize work with git

Looks like demo login not working anymore.

Actually, with my VSCode extension is not supposed that you need to sync your code. It expects, that you have only one source of truth, your local sources. But if you can export any code from the server, it can be the same folder where your sources already placed or any others. Just use Export action in Context menu in Explorer, and it will export all your classes or routines.

When you try to open any file in explorer, and this class or routine you already have locally, it will show your local file instead of server's file. Just because it does not expects any difference, as I said your local sources have the privilege to be used first.

Any file opened from server will be shown in read-only mode.

What do you have already?

Did you configure ODBC DSN, DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH?

Some information about configuring ODBC, you can find here.

First of all I think you need iODBC installed on your mac.

then ODBC Caché drivers, with correct environment variable DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, do not forget to relogin after the set variable.

As proof, that's possible to do it. Done with Caché 2018.1

With such amount of data, does you have enough global buffers configured?

Is it only one slow place, or you have any others as well?

How big is your database, indexes globals and globals buffer?

USER>set desc = "Review symptoms to report with patient"                        

USER>set abbrv = ##class(%Regex.Matcher).%New("([^\ ]{2})[^\ ]*\ ?",desc).ReplaceAll("$1")

USER>write abbrv
Resytorewipa

I think the best solution would be to configure SSH server, so, you'll be able to use putty as well. If your server on Linux, it should be only SSH. With SSH your connection surely will be encrypted.

Look at this

Class User.Test
{

ClassMethod Test(Args...)
{
  ZWRITE Args
}

ClassMethod Test2(Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, Arg4, Arg5, Arg6, Arg7, Arg8)
{
  ZWRITE Arg1
  ZWRITE Arg2
  ZWRITE Arg3
  ZWRITE Arg4
  ZWRITE Arg5
  ZWRITE Arg6
  ZWRITE Arg7
  ZWRITE Arg8
}

}

and let's call it

USER>do ##class(Test).Test(1,2,,,,,,8)  
Args=8
Args(1)=1
Args(2)=2
Args(8)=8

and second method

USER>do ##class(Test).Test2(1,2,,,,,,8) 
Arg1=1
Arg2=2
Arg8=8

And another way 

USER>set args=8 ;just the number of the latest one                      

USER>set args(8)="test"

and calls

USER>do ##class(Test).Test(args...)
Args=8
Args(8)="test"

USER>do ##class(Test).Test2(args...)
Arg8="test"

1. What you did, to get it. Please add all your steps, so we can find what you did wrong.

2. IRIS container changed nothing what comes from base Ubuntu image. If you can install mc there it should be possible on IRIS as well. But I don't see any reasons, why mc should be available inside the container. And why you need it there?

I think you are talking about subscripts and about the full length of global reference. You can't do anything with it and just accept it as a fact. 

Most of the reasons for getting such error is just missed license file or exceeded license limit.

Just check it, you can mount it during docker run or copy it inside the image during docker build.

I see that you use quite an old version, I would recommend considering usage latest version based on IRIS. Due to many limitations of using such an old version in Docker.

I have not played with C, yet. But I found CachePopList and CachePushList. have you tried to play with it? Looks like it may help you to order over $List.

It's really great news. And so cool that InterSystems started to participate more in developers conferences. I wish to participate all of them :)

Some time ago I did an example of Angular Application with IRIS on a backend.

Source for this project available on gitlab.

How to develop Angular application, you should look at angular documentation, and all about frontend development. There are some tools, which helps to develop and build your frontend side. Such as webpack, which do most of work related with build your sources to  production ready environment.

In my simple project, you need only docker, and any editor, preferable VSCode.

By command,  you will get a running server in development mode. So, you can edit Angular code, and IRIS code, and see an immediate result.

docker-compose up -d

And this project also deployable with Kubernetes. So, after any push of changes to gitlab, it will build, and test it.

node_modules, never goes to source control. It's enough to have package.json and package-lock.json there. node_modules may contain platform specific libraries.

Hope I will manage to write a complete article about this project, with all the details.
