Kevin,
If you are interested in a full kit install rather than a container, you can get yourself a full kit of InterSystems IRIS For Health Community Edition from:
https://download.InterSystems.com
(If you are interested in a container, see the other answers people have already given you)
HTH - welcome to the community and feel free to ask any questions here as you are learning / gaining your experience!
Ben
Excellent article Tim! Great description of how people can move the ball forward with the maturity of their development processes :)
@Amanda Priestly - yes, absolutely. The initial beta covers the 6 areas covered in this article. We will eventually be updating the entire application but we're working through it one section at a time. The next section will be the System Details page.
@Amanda Priestly - thank you so much for trying it out!
The issue is that there are many sites around the world with a SystemName of "T2018". You need to specify the site that you're interested in, eg "SCBO/T2018".
We have a development task to make this more clear and keep people from being stuck on this point. I hope we'll have it in place within the next week or so. Thank you!
I suggest you work with your Sales Rep to discussion licensing options.
As a licensed customer you can go to evaluation.intersystems.com in order to grab an InterSystems IRIS evaluation key for trying out the product.
Neerav,
Thank you for your interest! Although per the post this is only open to "users at CCR-controlled sites". Looking at your D.C. profile I don't think this is the case for you. If you are actually using CCR already, then you will need to log in with the InterSystems SSO account that you use to do your CCR work in order to try out the beta.
Thanks!
Neerav,
For internal applications within InterSystems, we've chosen a webapp strategy of:
- REST services from Caché/InterSystems IRIS
- Angular8
- Angular Material
We are part-way into the implementation of this strategy and so far so good. However, the work that we've done so far doesn't yet fit in the category of "tons of data to display' so I can't comment first-hand on the efficacy of this stack for that requirement (but you should be able to find experiences of others using Angular for data-heavy web apps). We are using this for new application development, and we're also working to retrofit existing CSP/Zen apps and move them to this stack.
Hope that helps!
most welcome!
Mike - I think the issue is that Apache is working in conjunction with Web Applications defined in Caché, and it hands off requests to the Web Applications (e.g. /csp/samples), which then serve out the files (this is configurable btw for static files). This is why you can put something in /csp/samples or another existing web application and it works. The issue is that in putting something at \Cache\CSP\index.csp, there is no Web Application with a root of \Cache\CSP\, and so there is no Web Application to route the request to, and thus the 404 error. You could create a new Web Application in Caché that points to \Cache\CSP\ but that would be a bit of a security issue because people could navigate to files in other web applications from there and potentially get to things they should not.
Why do you want to put something at the top level rather than in the root for a Web Application in Caché?
David - FYI, the full Release Version of 2019.1.1 Community Editions is now available at Download.InterSystems.com
Joel,
I completely agree with you!
Within InterSystems we have at least one development team that has codified this via serverside source control hooks which automatically expand use standard case for all commands (there was a presentation on this at last year's Global Summit). Adopting this tool is on my list of process/tools improvements for my development team in internal apps. There will be a discontinuity in the source control branches when we turn this on and standardize everything in one check-in, but I think the benefits of having a standard way to representing commands without developers having to personally remember to do it the same way will be pretty considerable!
Yes - absolutely! But you should discuss with InterSystems to work through the details. But many customers have migrated from DSM to modern versions of the InterSystems stack.
David,
I suggest you look into using the DeployToFile() and InstallFromFile() methods of the %Studio.Project class. A discussion of the topic can be found here in the docs:
https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=ADEPLOY
Another option is calling the following on individual classes:
$system.OBJ.MakeClassDeployed()
But since you are looking at just pushing partial updates, most likely the DeployToFile() with the parameter to strip out the source will be your best bet.
David - I completely agree. It's an excellent suggestion and we'll get it put in place.
David,
Thanks for your feedback!
In general, Developer Download always makes available the latest GA version of our two Community Edition products. In this case we wanted to be able to launch by Global Summit and so we went with the Preview since 2019.1.1 kits were not full GA yet. There are ongoing discussions about the pros/cons of making containers available here rather than people just fetching them directly from Docker. We'll let you know the final decision!
Excellent enhancements! Much needed and will be widely used I am sure :)
Thank you Stefan!
@Murray Oldfield - once again, bravo! Thank you for making this information more available to the community!
@Murray Oldfield - thank you for the time you spent putting together these performance articles!
Thank you! It's great having all 3 examples in one place :)
For anyone currently at Global Summit 2019, @Amir Samary will be demonstrating the new Evaluation Service TODAY at from 1:30-2:15 in the Tech Exchange, table 3. Come and check it out and give us your feedback!
Thanks,

You can grab a Windows version of Caché 2018.1 from the WRC Distribution site and just install Studio out of there, or InterSystems IRIS Studio can also connect to earlier Caché versions, so you can grab a windows InterSystems IRIS Community kit from download.InterSystems.com and install Studio out of there.
Vikram ... for now, I suggest that you use the opportunity to try InterSystems IRIS for free hosted in a cloud container:
https://www.intersystems.com/try-intersystems-iris-for-free/
Keep your eyes open for an announcement during Global Summit about another way that you can get your hands on InterSystems IRIS for evaluation purposes.
Thanks!
Ben
Note - if you're trying to do the former, you can also download and install Atelier, which is the InterSystems IDE plug-in for Eclipse:
Support should indeed help you out.
What exactly are you trying to do? Are you already running an InterSystems IRIS server at your organization and you just want to install Studio to connect to it? Or are you looking to install a local evaluation copy of the data platform as well as the IDE?
I am assuming that when you are talking about 'folders' you mean the structure which individual items are exported into when you use your source control hooks, correct? To achieve this you need to loop over all items in the namespace and call the source-control related export on each of them.
The way we do that for our internal systems is to the the BaselineExport() method in the %Studio.SourceControl.ISC class. %Studio.SourceControl.ISC is our source control hooks class for Perforce, and I haven't tried calling BaselineExport() while another set of hooks are configured for the namespace, it may *just work*, especially if your GitLab hooks use the ^Sources global to describe the export structure. Give is a try and let us know if it help (if not, I can get you the code for that method and you could adopt it for your purposes)
could you please give a little more of a description as to what you are hoping to accomplish? A JS file will be executed on the client, where-as "Caché Code" (by this I assume you mean Object Script?) is executed on the server.
You can edit JS files using Studio, you can create object script class projections to automatically create JS files with JS logic in it, you can send JS from a server process to the web browser, etc - there are may ways for Caché Code to interact with, inform or manipulate JS files. We need more details for what you want to do.
Per your second question, best practice is generally to use System Defaults which are set in your Namespace and store the production settings (rather than storing them in the Production class). This allows you to prevent having to have differences in the Production class between branches.
Steve - #2 is helpful if you want to leverage existing structures for authentication, auditing, transport or other functions that rely on CSP sessions . This can be used as part of a strategy of incrementally moving an application from a CSP-based architecture to Angular.
If your machine is virtualized, just clone the VM (that is what we do for all of our test upgrades). NOTE - make sure to stand it up on an isolated network segment so that it doesn't try to do any inbound file processing or other communication that it should not (especially if you clone LIVE).
Thanks again for sharing the start of your journey with the Community. I am curious if you are planning to provide another Update Article? I would love to hear about how your journey has progressed over the past year and what you have learned along the way which could help others!
Cheers,
Ben
