Starting with 2017.1, InterSystems is adding Ubuntu (64-bit) as a third linux server platform. Prior to 2017.1 Ubuntu was already available as a development platform and customers could use InterSystems distributions build for SUSE to run on Ubuntu. As a result there are a few license key implications for 64-bit linux versions starting with Caché and Ensemble 2017.1:
a) Customers using RedHat will observe no changes
b) Customers using InterSystems products(1) for SUSE on SUSE will need new license keys (no charge)
Caché 2018.1.2 and Ensemble 2018.1.2 maintenance releases are now available.
Full product installation kits can be downloaded from the WRC Software Distribution site.
For information about the corrections in this release, refer to the release notes.
This release adds support for Ubuntu 18.04 and Windows Server 2019.1 operating systems. You can see the details of all supported platforms inthis Supported Platforms document.
The build corresponding to this release is 2018.1.2.309.0
March 14, 2019 – Alert: Data Integrity Issue with Mirror Database Catchup
InterSystems has corrected a defect in our mirroring technology that can result in inconsistency between mirrored databases. This defect exists for currently released Caché and Ensemble versions beginning with 2017.2 and for InterSystems IRIS Data Platform version 2018.1.
InterSystems is currently verifying InterSystems IRIS 2019.1 with Windows Server 2019. This work is scheduled to complete by the end of January 2019. In the second half of this month InterSystems will add Caché/Ensemble 2018.1.2 to be verified on this platform.
As we get closer to the completion of those tasks, I will update this post with information on release dates, and which products and version will support Windows Server 2019.
InterSystems has corrected a defect that impacts the use of X.509 private keys stored in Caché, Ensemble, and Health Connect, but only in 2018.1.1, on any platform.
This defect does not affect new installations of 2018.1.1, only upgrades to that version. It affects WS-Security, not SSL/TLS Configurations.
If your environment uses X.509 credentials with private keys and has been upgraded to 2018.1.1, some functions and queries that use the private keys will fail. To correct this problem, please contact the Worldwide Response Center (WRC) and request the utility developed to address the issue.
InterSystems has corrected a defect that can result in data integrity problems in environments that use InterSystems mirroring in conjunction with parallel dejournaling. This problem exists for currently released Caché and Ensemble versions beginning with 2017.2 and for InterSystems IRIS Data Platform version 2018.1.
