  InterSystems Learning Labs

  Launch a personal learning lab with a built-in IDE to see the power of InterSystems IRIS® data platform and InterSystems IRIS for Health™ firsthand. Connect your own applications for training, individual development, or to try out a new feature. Simply log in to the learning site and click below to easily launch a learning lab — free of charge.

  You can request to extend your instance via the Report Issue / Feedback button on the right edge of this page.

  Note:

  These labs are meant for training and individual development use only. InterSystems does not provide an SLA, uptime guarantee, or backup service for these lab instances. You can also see options for deploying production instances on public cloud providers.

• Connecting Your Java Application

  Connecting Your Java Application

  To connect your local Java IDE to the provided learning lab:
  

  1. Verify you have JDK 1.7 or 1.8 installed (if not, install it here: JDK 1.7 or 1.8).
     • You can check your version by going to a command prompt and entering java --version
  2. Open your preferred Java IDE (such as Eclipse, NetBeans, or IntelliJ).
  3. Download the InterSystems IRIS JDBC driver (normally found in the iris-install-dir\dev\java\lib\jdk18 folder but provided here for ease of use) .
     
  4. Add a CLASSPATH pointing to the downloaded InterSystems IRIS driver.
  • For example, in Eclipse, go to Java > Build Path > CLASSPATH variables

  
  

  Then you can connect your Java application to the learning lab using the following information in your Java application:

  • Data Source: com.intersystems.jdbc.IRISDataSource
  • External JDBC URL: jdbc:IRIS://IP:Port/USER (See the values in the Lab Launcher above.)

• Connecting Your .NET Application

  Connecting Your .NET Application

  To connect your local .NET IDE to the provided learning lab:
  

  • Open your IDE (such as Microsoft Visual Studio).
  • Download InterSystems.Data.IRISClient.dll (normally found in the iris-install-dir\dev\dotnet\bin\v4.5 folder but provided here for ease of use).
  • Set up a reference pointing to InterSystems.Data.IRISClient.dll
  • For example, in Microsoft Visual Studio, inside your project, go to References > Add Reference.

  Then you can connect your .NET application to the learning lab using the following information in your .NET application:

  • IRISADOConnection: InterSystems.Data.IRISClient.IRISADOConnection
  • Connection String: "Server = " + IP + "; Port = " + port + "; Namespace = USER" + "; Password = " + password + "; User ID = " + username (See the values in the Lab Launcher above.)

  
  

  If you would like to try a Hello World sample, see documentation for connecting your .NET IDEs.
• Connecting your Node.js Application

  Connecting your Node.js Application

  To connect your local Node.js IDE to the provided learning lab:
  

  • Open your IDE (such as Microsoft Visual Studio Code).
  • Download intersystems-iris-native (normally found in the iris-install-dir\dev\nodejs folder but provided here for ease of use) and put it in the same directory as your code file.
  • Install the InterSystems Native API for Node.js: npm install ––save intersystems-iris-native

  Then you can connect your Node.js application to the learning lab using the following information in your Node.js application:

  • Create connection: irisnative.createConnection({host: ip, port: port, ns: namespace, user: username, pwd: password}) (See the values in the Lab Launcher above.)
