I believe you need to add a volume to add a directory to the container and you can then browse to that location.

docker run ... -v myFilePathOutside:myPathInsideContainer ...

The problem is only happening with quote-style escaping checkbox checked and it appears to be fixed in IRIS 2021.1

Hello, I want to post update that InterSystems told me they did not support mirror with AWS Fargate because mirror requires static ip. I wanted to use containers running on Fargate serverless which will change ip each time a new container starts.

It took a while, but I made some progress. I changed my cube name from iris-for-money to iris4money (no dashes) and then the project compiled with the latest community edition image. zpm behaved a little bit better in later image, but I still had to struggle a lot to get FileCopy to work so I had data to import when installing from zpm.  

I appreciate the help I got from Dmitry Maslennikov when I called ZPM 911 on Discord channel. He pointed out that FileCopy converted filename from export.csv to export.CSV. Eventually I got my zpm testing to complete without errors after I had changed the filename in my repo to export.CSV. Hopefully I will earn ZPM bonus which I have worked so hard for.

In my experience, this version of docker did not work properly with IRIS. Can you try to get on current Docker version?

Oliver Wilms · Sep 2, 2021 go to post

Which version of docker are you using? I had such a problem when I started using docker 1.13 on Red Hat Linux. Things worked for me after I got on Docker 19 or 20

By default, only clients local to the Web Gateway’s hosting computer are allowed access to the Web Gateway Management pages. The browser through which the management forms are accessed must be running on the same machine as the web server and Web Gateway. For example:

http://localhost:<port_no>/csp/bin/Systems/Module.cxw

You can add additional clients to the list of authorized administrators by adding the client IP addresses to the System_Manager parameter in the SYSTEM section in CSP.ini (in install-dir\CSP\bin). The System_Manager parameter represents a comma- or plus-separated list of clients (by IP address) who may access the Web Gateway Management pages. The directive shown below grants access to three remote clients in addition to the default local access.

[SYSTEM]
System_Manager=190.8.7.6, 190.8.7.5, 190.8.7.4

Add one point I edited CSP.ini file (on another similar project). Cannot remember why I had tried to add

[SYSTEM]
  System_Manager=*.*.*.*

I need to correct my last response. I did receive WRC response on Friday with this:

After discussing this issue with co-workers:

The message is due to the reassignment of the IP address:

  Yes – the basically the IP address changing underneath the mirror node “changed it’s identity”. This is expected behavior for mirroring.

Possible to setup virtual IP address/or DNS name for each member then in script assign new IP to the member's DNS name

Also not to use ECS but something long these lines found in this link, look it over and see if it applies:

I encountered another challenge this week. I utilized AWS Elastic Container Service (ECS) to deploy two Fargate tasks running IRIS MessageBank Mirror. The first task started on ip-10-xxx-xxx-146. It used failover1 volume which had previously been used by ip-10-xxx-xxx-168. The second task started on ip-10-xxx-xxx-168. The second task ran on failover2 volume. It started MessageBank production and it became Primary. Mirror Service did not start on the first task. In messages.log I saw:

 

Mirroring not started, this instance appears to have been copied. See ^MIRROR

 

I suspect this happened because the randomly assigned IP address for the second task matched the prior IP address of the first task. I opened a support ticket with InterSystems WRC on Tuesday morning and I still wait for their response.

Hello,

Started working on Message Bank mirror. Realized there is a MessageBank production running in the namespace with the mirrored database. I probably need to control the AutoStart global to start the production only on the Primary...

Oliver Wilms · Aug 16, 2021 go to post

Hi Michael,

I implemented Message Bank because I did not want to check multiple instances trying to see what messages were processed in each production. Does that make sense?

Oliver Wilms · Aug 10, 2021 go to post

Not sure if it could be a simple workaround, but I created a FileControl mechanism where I create my own queue of files for the business service to process. I add files to the queue through an Outbound File Adapter so they can get processed by modified Inbound Adapters

Craig, our Health Connect production handles supply chain messages for Department of Veterans Affairs. Many of the messages are recordmap files. Messages volume is low. I hope to learn how to architect a solution that is reliable and scalable, just in case traffic increases or I can transfer this experience to the next project.

Hello, I have setup IRIS mirror in AWS using Elastic Container Service / Fargate. I did not utilize a load balancer for mirror setup.

Congrats to the winners. Thank you for the Git for IRIS app. I plan to use that

Can you create your own class that extends the class you want to update? Which class? What kind of operation you want to do?

Oliver Wilms · Feb 3, 2021 go to post

I created a new class (User.OperationSQL) which extends Ens.BusinessOperation and uses 

{

Parameter ADAPTER = "EnsLib.SQL.OutboundAdapter";

Property Adapter As EnsLib.SQL.OutboundAdapter;

...

Do you see Ens.BusinessOperation and EnsLib.SQL.OutboundAdapter?

Oliver Wilms · Feb 3, 2021 go to post

Hello Jack,

I have done this previously in this class:

Class User.OperationSQL Extends Ens.BusinessOperation

{

Parameter ADAPTER = "EnsLib.SQL.OutboundAdapter";

Property Adapter As EnsLib.SQL.OutboundAdapter;

...

I have this code to begin transaction:

set tSC = ..Adapter.SetAutoCommit(0)

I have this code to commit transaction:

set tSC = ..Adapter.Commit()

In case of rollback I use this code:

Set rollbackSt = ..Adapter.Rollback()

Mark,

I cloned the csv repository, added an interoperability production with a file service and a process that imports the file using csvgen code. Please take a look at this repo and let me know if you have any comments or questions:
