Yesterday I noticed 2022.3.0.584.0 on Developer Download and today build 589 appeared there and also on containers.intersystems.com

Is this Preview #5?

Apparently something was messed up at my end. I deleted and re-fetched the container and now all is good.

Maybe I did something wrong, but when I start a container from containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/iris-community:2022.3.0.570.0 I get an IRIS whose $ZV reports 2022.3.0.555.0

Routines and classes created and edited in Studio are stored within the InterSystems database associated with the namespace Studio connected to.

you map the affected Namespace using ECP to the newer version and use VSCode

Beware - Plenty of pitfalls waiting for you if you use a later version environment to edit code stored in a remote database hosted on an earlier version.

Do things improve if you rewrite your first line to be this?

   #dim tObservation as HS.SDA3.Observation = ##class(HS.SDA3.Observation).%New()

I suggest you use InterSystems Portal, go to System Operation section, then Databases. Look at which databases lie within the mountpoint which is showing 81% use:

Besides the above, I also noticed that the parser also fails when calling a %SYS routine as in:

do DecomposeStatus^%apiOBJ(sc,.err,"-d")

@Victor Gordillo please clarify what you mean by "the parser fails". Maybe with a screenshot?

InterSystems deletes the source code of many %-routines before shipping, including %apiOBJ. Perhaps this is causing the problem you are seeing.

@Benjamin De Boe on WRC #956754 (2021.1) we reported that the InterSystems UDL export and load utilities ignore the /exportselectivity and /importselectivity qualifiers. We were told this is intentional and no changes were planned. Did this change? Are they now supported? If so, from which version onwards?

In the Extensions view if you search for "intersystems" does it offer you the option of installing the extensions into your container? Or have you already done that?

Probably our biggest pain point related to InterSystems software upgrade, and one we have to try and make sure sites using our Deltanji source code management tool are aware of, is that the procedure can result in class dictionaries of remote databases being upgraded to a dictionary version that the instance hosting the databases cannot handle.

Our Deltanji documentation now includes this paragraph in the section about InterSystems platform upgrades:

Before upgrading an InterSystems IRIS, Caché or Ensemble instance we strongly recommend that you first disable all ECP connections the instance makes to other instances. Leave these connections disabled until after you have completed the upgrade, including execution of any post-upgrade steps recommended by InterSystems such as the recompilation of code in all namespaces. These precautions should prevent the upgrading instance from inadvertently upgrading class dictionary entries and routines on remote instances which may still be running an earlier InterSystems platform version.

And for extra convenience, follow the steps given in the Extension's README to enable the use of proposed APIs (view them here, or on the Details tab of the extension's page in VS Code).

Then you can use the VS Code quickpick that Ctrl+p or Cmd+p opens (NB unshifted 'p'), type `String` and you should be able to open it directly.

Here's what I recommend (assumes you are using Server Manager extension as well; can be done without it but you'll have to edit JSON in a file):

  1. In Server Manager's tree, expand the namespaces of your server.
  2. Clock the "eye" icon on the %SYS row. This will add another root folder to your VS Code workspace. The folder uses the `isfs-readonly` scheme to access the namespace directly.
  3. In VS Code's Explorer (not ObjectScript Explorer), expand that folder and drill down to find the class you want.

Assuming you want to use this multi-root workspace again, use "Save Workspace As..." from the File menu. If you don't, you'll be prompted when you exit VS Code and given a choice of saving or discarding.

Good video. One tip I have is that at 4:18 it advises using a command to add second and subsequent folders to a multi-root workspace. Instead I recommend clicking on the InterSystems Tools icon in the Activity Bar, then using the Servers tree (contributed by the Server Manager extension) to find your server and namespace, then clicking the pencil button (Edit Code in Namespace). This adds an isfs entry to your workspace. The eye button alongside it will add an isfs-readonly entry instead.

Indeed you can do the whole of the workspace creation from that tree. With nothing open in VS Code (no folder, no workspace) click all the pencils or eyes you want. To name and save your workspace use "Save Workspace As..." from the File menu. If you haven't done that by the time you close the VS Code window you will be prompted to save or discard the as-yet-untitled workspace. So if you just wanted to browse a server speculatively you can use an untitled workspace and discard it when you exit.

How intriguing Rob.

May I suggest you edit the post and change the language at the top of the CodeSnippet elements so they're set to JavaScript instead of ObjectScript? Or if you prefer, ask me and I'll do it using my DC Moderator powers.

It won't necessarily be the instance name, depending on how the external web server has been set up.

John Murray · Aug 24, 2022 go to post

In the intersystems.servers object in your settings JSON you can add a pathPrefix property within the webServer object of your connection definition. In your example:

"intersystems.servers": {
...
    "server1": {
        "webServer": {
            "host": "localhost",
            "port": 443,
            "scheme": "https",
            "pathPrefix": "/instance1"
        }
    },
...
}

Turns out it wasn't hard to add this. Download and install 1.8.2-beta.2 if you want to try it out.

Only the editable file gets coloured, not the preview. It may be possible to address that, but would require more work than I have time for at the moment.
