Article Robert Cemper · Jun 12, 2021 2m read Running reviews on Open Exchange For several weeks I'm creating reviews on OEX. So I'd like to explain to you the criteria that I apply to find my ratings.Of course, each reviewer is an independent person and has his own criteria and his own opinion.And that's good and important! As Winston Churchill once said: "If 2 people always have the same opinion, then 1 of them is superfluous" #Caché #Ensemble #InterSystems IRIS #Open Exchange 6 6 0 149
Article Robert Cemper · Apr 26, 2021 3m read SSH for IRIS container Why SSH ? If you do not have direct access to the server that runs your IRIS Docker containeryou still may require access to the container outside "iris session" or "WebTerminal".With an SSH terminal (PuTTY, KiTTY,.. ) you get access inside Docker, and then, dependingon your needs you run "iris session iris" or display/manipulate files directly. Note: This is not meant to be the default access for the average application userbut the emergency backdoor for System Management, Support, and Development. #Cloud #Containerization #Development Environment #Docker #System Administration #Terminal #Ubuntu #InterSystems IRIS 2 34 0 769
Article Robert Cemper · Apr 16, 2021 1m read How to execute IRIS restart from inside Some changes in IRIS configuration require a restart of IRIS.This is no big issue as long as I have access to the server command line with sufficient privileges.In a container, this is not always given.Stopping IRIS from the terminal/session prompt is no problem.But the restart after is. Note1: container start-stop is no option as it might be removed by option --rm in docker runNote2: the target is linux (manly in docker).

Article Robert Cemper · Apr 9, 2021 1m read Splitting an IRIS db to multiple drives I'm looking for a way to have an IRIS db distributed over several (hw) drives. Without touching the internal data structures (e.g. mapping) ! Are there any options in file systems to achieve this "splitting" or "appending" ?

Question Robert Cemper · Apr 9, 2021 Moving IRIS db in runtime I'm almost running out of disk space so I want to move 1 DB to a different hard drive. It's a rather simple but lengthy action during a shutdown of IRIS. But is this somehow possible under runtime in a stand-alone installation? I'm looking for kind of a "local drive failover" note: Mirror or Shadow is not an option. #Deployment #DevOps #Management Portal #InterSystems IRIS 1 3 0 175
Question Robert Cemper · Apr 9, 2021 How to shrink IRISTEMP db in runtime? After running an extensive block of daily statistics my IRISTEMP has expanded dramatically. But FreeSpace shows 97% unused and FREE space.

Article Robert Cemper · Mar 27, 2021 3m read IRIS easy ECP workbench Testing ECP-based applications often take quite some effort for setup and preparation.I have created a Docker-based workbench that allows you to have it quick at hands.And if you crash it? You just give your containers a fresh start.The whole setup runs code-based during the start-up of your instance.In that sense, it is also a portable coding example using ZPM and the objectscript-docker-template see Video #Docker #ECP #Tips & Tricks #InterSystems IRIS 4 3 0 353
