Does anyone know if the Cache CSP Gateway version 2016.1.0 can run with both Cache 2017.1.x and Cache 2013.1.x?

Thanks.

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)

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 completed the verification process for OpenJDK 8.

Customers now have the option to either use the Oracle JDK, or the OpenJDK with all InterSystems products and versions that support Java 8.
 
Support for future versions will continue to be supported on both of these Java Development Kits.

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) provides a feature rich environment for Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) as a cloud offering fully capable of supporting all of InterSystems products including the latest InterSystems IRIS Data Platform. Care must be taken, as with any platform or deployment model, to ensure all aspects of an environment are considered such as performance, availability, operations, and management procedures.  Specifics of each of those areas will be covered in this article.

InterSystems products (InterSystems IRIS, Caché and Ensemble) support AIX on Power 9 chips starting with:

Caché/Ensemble 2017.1.3

InterSystems IRIS 2018.1.1

Effective immediately InterSystems will no longer support Health Connect on Solaris. Previously released products starting with 2017.1 will also no longer offer this combination. This is in line with InterSystems HealthShare, which is not available on this platform.

As previously announced, 2017.1 on VSI OpenVMS 8.4-1H1 is the final major version of Caché and Ensemble.  2017.1 will not be available for VSI OpenVMS versions beyond 8.4-1H1.

Maintenance releases of 2017.1 on VSI OpenVMS may be announced but only to deliver critical corrections.  2017.1 on VSI OpenVMS will be the Minimum Supported Version from July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2020.  After December 31, 2020, no further maintenance releases will be made available.  

What are the best steps for troubleshooting printing to a Windows printer from Cache.  The printer has been configured in the Windows Printer Manager and has been able to print a test page (from the windows print manager).

The device has been configured in Cache -> Sys Admin -> Config -> Device Settings -> Devices with properly formatted |PRN|printer device name and "W" for open parameters and 101 for Alias.

From a command prompt, O 101 U 101 write something U 0 C 101 doesnt output anything to the printer, but does create a document in the Windows print spooler.

InterSystems has performed various system and application benchmarks to determine the potential performance impact after the corrections for Meltdown have been applied.

Overall our tests have shown at worst a performance degradation of less than 2% and in some cases slightly better performance, but within the margin of error of testing. All tests confirm that the specific performance impact to a deployed application is directly related to how this application is using system resources. Specifically, this means that in certain cases (e.g. a query)  a larger performance impact is possible.

Project related quality assurance efforts have revealed a number of concerns for the current release of 2017.1.0 and 2017.1.1 on all OpenVMS platforms. In certain situations, the impact can be severe. InterSystems will address these issues with the upcoming 2017.1.2 release, and in the meantime, will remove all 2017.1.x kits for OpenVMS from our Download Servers.

 

If you have immediate needs correcting existing deployments of this version, please contact the InterSystems WRC (support@intersystems.com).

 

We are in the process of using Ensemble for HL7 translations, and wanted to know is it better to use it on Linux Server or Windows Server? We are mostly a Windows shop but just wanted to make sure there is nothing we will be missing out using the Windows application.

Hello,

Is there a install kit available for ubuntu.  I have tried the Suse Install kit .

Got: The installer can't find a platform in this distribution supported by your system

Beginning with the next release after 2017.1, InterSystems products will no longer be offered on macOS (OS X) as a Server platform. This platform has been re-classified and will be available as a Development platform in future releases.

Starting with 2017.1, InterSystems has moved macOS from being a server platform to a development platform. 2017.1 will only support macOS 10.12 and will no longer be available as dmg kits.

Verification of macOS 10.12 has not been completed at this time and Field Test kits for this platform are not yet available.

Hello,

I am trying to log the output of csession in Linux. I try this command:

csession cache | tee myoutput.log

Although it works each new lines at screen output doesn't appear at row 1...

Any tip?

Is there a recommended way to deal with the unattended reboot that happens when Windows Updates are applied?  These reboots cause issues with running Ensemble produtions.
