Question Ben Spead · Dec 15 Is it possible to feed a question to the D.C. A.I. via URL parameter? I want to provide a shortcut to the D.C. A.I. from a hotkey which will automatically populate the question field here - https://community.intersystems.com/ask-dc-ai. Is there a way to construct this URL such that it will populate the "Ask a Programming Question" field (and better yet, execute the query)?

Question Ben Spead · May 29 Is there a way to do an override of a %ALL Global Mapping? Let's say I have an InterSystems IRIS instance with 6 Namespaces: Foo1 Foo2 Foo3 Foo4 Foo5 Bar And the number of Foo# namespaces can increase at any time for a number of reasons. I need to ensure that they all have identical configuration globals stored in a DB called CONFIG, so I do the following in my configuration file: [Map.%ALL] Global_SYS=%DEFAULTDB Global_SYS("CommonConfig")=CONFIG Global_SYS("CommonOtherSettings")=CONFIG Global_SourceControl=CONFIG #Key Question #Mapping #ObjectScript #System Administration #InterSystems IRIS 1 9 0 254
Question Ben Spead · Mar 8 Classic View Page for CCR to be deprecated - did we miss anything on the new UI? Last year we introduced our new angular-based View page for CCR as part of the UI refresh for the application.

Question Ben Spead · Aug 22, 2023 Best practice for automatically deploying and activating changes to CSP.ini? We're trying to get a little more discipline around Web Gateway change control, and deploy changes to our CSP.ini from source control. I was wondering if anyone cared to share their best practices in this area? There is a "RELOAD" parameter (https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls...) which says you can put RELOAD=1 in your CSP.ini file in order to force it to automatically activate when noticed by the daemon. #Change Management #Web Gateway #InterSystems IRIS 0 6 2 276

Question Ben Spead · Mar 17, 2023 How can you test access to IRIS running on 1972 from Linux? We're looking to create a quick and simple test to see if all firewalls are open on 1972 between a linux based web server VM and a VM running InterSystems IRIS. Does anyone have any ideas for a quick command that can be run from UNIX console that will provide confirmation that traffic is able to get to 1972 on an IRIS machine? BTW - I don't think it makes any difference but the IRIS machine is running Windows #Key Question #System Administration #InterSystems IRIS 0 19 0 531

Question Ben Spead · Dec 6, 2022 How does InterSystems IRIS determine it's hostname for $System / $System.INetInfo.LocalHostName()? We have a UNIX VM with an InterSystems IRIS instance which we cloned for testing purposes, and we have found that $System (which is used for self-identification in email notifications) is still showing the hostname of the original VM, rather than the hostname of the cloned VM. This is coming from $System.INetInfo.LocalHostHame(). Does anyone know what you need to change on a UNIX clone in order for it to display the appropriate new host name in $System? #System Administration #InterSystems IRIS 0 1 0 355
