SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of configuring VSCode for ObjectScript development when the Atelier REST API port and enterprise web server setup are tricky, leading to time-wasting 404s, auth failures, or dead connections.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Correct VSCode server configuration: Sets up intersystems.servers so VSCode can call Atelier with the right host, port, and credentials.
  • Enterprise IRIS compatibility via webgateway: Provides a working container pattern for enterprise images that have WebServer=0, including the correct way to route CSP requests.
  • Connection troubleshooting that matches real failure modes: Targets common issues like hitting the wrong port, missing CSP credentials, and misconfigured Apache directives.

Quick Start

Ask your AI assistant to configure your VSCode intersystems.servers for the IRIS Atelier endpoint by using port 52773 for direct community images, or by setting up the enterprise webgateway pattern and validating the connection with the Atelier version check.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure VSCode for InterSystems IRIS ObjectScript development?

To configure VSCode for ObjectScript, set up the `intersystems.servers` settings with the correct IRIS host, port, and credentials to enable reliable Atelier REST connectivity.

Why does my VSCode Atelier connection fail with a 404 or authentication error?

Atelier connection failures often stem from hitting the wrong port, missing CSP credentials, or misconfigured Apache directives. Verify HTTP authentication against the `/api/atelier/` endpoint to resolve this.

Do I need a webgateway to connect VSCode to enterprise IRIS images?

Yes, enterprise IRIS images with `WebServer=0` require a webgateway container pattern to correctly route CSP and Atelier REST requests for VSCode connectivity.

What port should I use for VSCode intersystems.servers settings with local IRIS containers?

For direct community IRIS images, use port 52773 in your VSCode `intersystems.servers` settings to ensure the Atelier REST API is reachable.

How can I verify that my VSCode Atelier REST connection is working properly?

Validate your Atelier REST connection by performing an HTTP authentication check against the `/api/atelier/` endpoint, which confirms correct credential routing and port selection.

What is the difference between port 1972 and 52773 for IRIS Atelier connectivity?

Port 52773 is typically used for direct web access and Atelier REST connectivity in community images, whereas 1972 is the superserver port; using the wrong one causes dead connections.
