Technical Documentation — Quarkus IRIS Monitor System

1. Purpose and Scope

This module enables integration between Quarkus-based Java applications and InterSystems IRIS’s native performance monitoring capabilities.
It allows a developer to annotate methods with @PerfmonReport, which triggers IRIS’s ^PERFMON routines automatically around method execution, generating performance reports without manual intervention.

2. System Components

2.1 Annotation: @PerfmonReport

I need to build an integration solution that reads messages from a Kafka topic. The topic has 3 partitions and contains several million messages.

For certain reasons, I can only use the standard EnsLib.Kafka.Service class and cannot use either KafkaClient or Python.

To measure performance and collect statistics I created a simple key + timestamp table with no indexes (so it is unlikely to be a bottleneck). Next, I started an instance of EnsLib.Kafka.Service. In the OnProcessInput method, I receive a message, extract the key from it, get the current time, and write the row to the table.

Building a Sensor Data Demo with Spring Boot and InterSystems IRIS

In the era of IoT and connected devices, sensor data is everywhere—tracking temperature in logistics, monitoring equipment performance, or recording environmental conditions. But capturing, storing, and analyzing this data in real time requires more than just hardware sensors.

We currently have Business Operation that we built to use the EnsLib.SQL.OutboundAdapter so we can make Microsoft SQL Server Stored Procedure calls. The BO is attached to a Java Gateway Service.

Some of our MS SQL Databases have moved from being OnPrem to Azure Cloud. We have started seeing where we are receiving errors on the BO saying that we cannot connect to the Azure Database, but we never receive a Disconnect from the Azure Database.

Reviewing my published packages, I identified a nasty bug in IRIS Native API

Hey Developers,

Watch this video from our Tech Video Challenge to learn how to set up and work with the InterSystems IRIS Java External Language Gateway.

⏯ IRIS External Language Gateway, Java Edition

Hello. Currently, we are developing using Cache 2018 version.
Our team is working on improving an existing legacy program so that it can also be used on the web.

Before asking my question, here is the development environment.

• IDE: IntelliJ
• Framework: Spring Boot, MyBatis
• DB Connection: JDBC (using the library provided by InterSystems)

Hello, we are currently using the Cache Database released in January 2018.

There are no specific classes or SQL mappings in the namespaces where data is stored.

Only a few routines(.mac) and stored data are in the global area.

In this case, when accessing the Cache DB through Java, is it essential to write SQL mappings or wrapper classes? The reason I ask is that our team doesn't have advanced developers who specialize in Cache.

Alternatively, is it possible to directly call pre-existing routines from Java?

I apologize for the translation;

Here is my code:

Method getStocks(pRequest As Stock.Message.Req, Output pResponse As Ens.StreamContainer) As %Status
{
     s tSC = pRequest.NewResponse(.pResponse)
     q:$$$ISERR(tSC) tSC

     #dim pRS As EnsLib.SQL.GatewayResultSet

     s tSC = ..Adapter.ExecuteQuery(.pRS, "select jsonb_agg(s) #>> '{}' FROM prod.stocks s where s.""Warehouse"" = ?", pRequest.Warehouse)
     q:$$$ISERR(tSC) tSC

     s pResponse = ##class(Ens.StreamContainer).%New()
     s pResponse.Stream = ##class(%GlobalCharacterStream).%New()

Hello, dear colleagues.

I need to connect to a remote JavaGateway from an Ensemble service.

I am trying to use the EnsLib.JavaGateway.Service with a remote host where the JVM is running.

I can successfully ping the remote Java Gateway from EnsLib.JavaGateway.Service, and Ensemble reports that the service status is OK.

There are no network issues, and all necessary ports are accessible.

My requests work without any problems when I specify localhost in EnsLib.JavaGateway.Service. However, when I specify a remote JVM, I get the following error:

Not sure there are many that connect to MS SQL to execute queries, stored procedures, etc, but our Healthsystem has many different MS SQL based databases we use within the Interoperability environment for various reasons.

With the push to moving from on-prem to the Cloud we ran into some difficulties with our SQL Gateway connections and knowing how to config them to use Microsoft Entra for Active Directory Authentication.

As part of a migration project from a bunch of java classes to IRIS, we need to maintain a few jar files due to some external dependencies.

The problem I am seeing is that I cannot pass a byte array ( byte[] ) from ObjectScript to the Java Class. I have tried a number of different ways

I have reproduced in a java class and Objectscript class:
