Who hasn't been developing a beautiful example using a Docker IRIS image and had the image generation process fail in the Dockerfile because the license under which the image was created doesn't contain certain privileges?
In my case, what I was deploying in Docker is a small application that uses the Vector data type. With the Community version, this isn't a problem because it already includes Vector Search and vector storage. However, when I changed the IRIS image to a conventional IRIS (the latest-cd), I found that when I built the image, including the classes it had generated, it returned this error:
9.505 ERROR
9.505 > ERROR
9.505 Compiling class Inquisidor.Object.Licitacion
9.505 ERROR
9.505 > ERROR
9.538 Compiling class Inquisidor.Message.LicitacionResponse
This error left me confused, because I, as an obedient person, had defined in my docker-compose.yml the parameter that indicates where my valid license is located:
iris:
init: true
container_name: iris
build:
context: .
dockerfile: iris/Dockerfile
ports:
- 52774:52773
- 51774:1972
volumes:
- ./iris/shared:/iris-shared
environment:
- ISC_DATA_DIRECTORY=/iris-shared/durable
command: --check-caps false --ISCAgent false --key /iris-shared/iris.key
It took me a while to realize that the problem was the original image I was using, not the license I had, as you can see, I'm not the sharpest pencil in the case.
The problem was at the point where I imported my classes into the default IRIS image:
RUN \
zn "%SYS" \
do
do
set sc=
set helper=
do helper.EnableSSLSuperServer() \
do
zn "INQUISIDOR" \
set sc = $SYSTEM.OBJ.LoadDir("/opt/irisapp/src/Inquisidor", "ck", , 1) \
set production = "Inquisidor.Production" \
set ^Ens.Configuration("csp","LastProduction") = production \
do
Compiling the code was returning the previous error. What should I do to fix it? It was very simple: I had to send the new license to the initial IRIS image and ask it to update the license on the first line of the commands I was using.
The first step is to move the new license to the /mgr directory of the installation, which I did with this code:
COPY --chown=$ISC_PACKAGE_MGRUSER:$ISC_PACKAGE_IRISGROUP /iris/iris.key /usr/irissys/mgr
RUN chmod +x /usr/irissys/mgr/iris.key
The IRIS installation path on our image is /usr/irissys/mgr , and the /iris/iris.key path is my local directory. With the license in the IRIS image, I just needed to tell IRIS to update its license, so I modified the previous commands by adding the following statement:
RUN \
zn "%SYS" \
do
Et voila! I now have my IRIS image with my license loaded before importing and compiling my classes. No more compilation errors.
I hope it is useful to you!
