Add more of a timeout in restart functionality

I have found on occasion that the restart functionality on a Object doesn't always really help. Occasionally I noticed that sequence in Stopping an object, then immediately Starting the object back up doesn't give the system significant time to fu...

Light version InterSystems IRIS

Develop a light version for InterSystems IRIS. It is a fact that IRIS, today, includes several improvements and new functionalities, however, like "all" software evolution, it also requires heavier hardware resources. Not all applications need all...

Why use storage for an index that has never been used?

If an index has never been used (or not for a long time), is it really necessary to use hard drive storage for the index? After a sufficiently long time has passed, it seems like it would be possible to purge storage of index data. The index would...

Make interoperability's visual trace to easy to check, when process was running parallel.

I want to make interoperability's visual trace to easy to check, when process was running parallel. As an example, consider calling bp01 with a Pool Size of 3 from bp00 for 3 processes at the same time. The bp01 column shows three processes jumble...

AntiMatter Code accelerator

SQL Engines employ "query rewrite" to effect a more efficient query to supplement user expertise or application knowledge. Can Mac / Int code generated by Classes be accelerated in a similar way? Beyond locating inefficient and discouraged code an...

Optional "Green Mode" Configuration Setting for IRIS

Much like how cars often have a "Eco" driving mode, create an optional mode for using IRIS in a greener manner. If a user of IRIS wants to prioritize reducing their carbon footprint over performance, they should be able to do so. It's possible ...

Advanced real-time data processing optimization for InterSystems IRIS

In this Idea-A-Thon, I propose to develop innovative technology that enables advanced optimization of real-time data processing for InterSystems IRIS. The central idea is to implement a new hardware acceleration module based on FPGA (Field-Program...

Programmatic reports

The report creation is a tedious and non-productive task. You need an IDE, create a connection, create a SQL query, define report bands, drag-and-drop/design report columns, fields, labels, summarizations, margins, charts and prepare perfect pixel...

Include bar code/QR code recognition as a standard function

Zen reports, InterSystem Reports, and IRIS all have ways to generate bar codes and/or QR codes and put them on documents, but there is nothing to read them. Reading them relies on 3rd part packages and sometimes specialized hardware, depending on ...

Reinstate Studio as a fully supported code editor

Studio is a focused no-nonsense COS/CSP code editor.Although I like VS Code a lot for other programming languages, I find it overkill to just edit IRIS classes and routines. I also like the idea of a dedicated editor: for instance I use PyCharm fo...
