    Prettier plugin for ObjectScript

    Add Category to Extended Criteria in Message Viewer

    Oftentimes when issues with real-time integrations are reported to Integration Analysts, troubleshooting the integration is more complex than simply searching across one interface. For example, if an order is missing, we know that many target appl...

    Add SQL Query History

    There is no way to see the history of SQL queries on a particular IRIS server. it'd be good to have for debugging and performance improvement helper. Yes, there are statements with Frozen parameters available, but sometimes one needs to see the ex...

    Superset language for ObjectScript

    With the coming of dynamic objects I feel that at this point we need something that ressembles TypeScript. So my suggestion is for having a superset language that can be transpiled to either classes or routines, whichever fits the bill. The idea i...

    Add a compiler flag to disable accidental code formatting
