Hi,
I'm pretty sure I'm not the first one to encounter this, so please share your solution
I'm trying to load a package with 2 dependencies, one of them has 5 dependencies..
is there a better tool / script / wizard for that?
 

The problem

How many times have we migrated an IRIS Instance to another machine, maybe even another version, and after a few days realized we forgot that one SSL Configuration critical for a Business Operations to work? Or maybe a credential, or a lonely class in a package by itself?

The solution

The simple solution is to make a checklist¹. A checklist of the entities we have to move. But simple checklists on Word documents are often forgotten, or just ignored.

 Hi everyone,

I’m currently working with InterSystems IRIS and handling large datasets where some queries are starting to take longer than expected.

So far, I’ve tried basic indexing and reviewing query structures, which helped a bit, but I still feel there is room for improvement. My goal is to reduce response time, especially for frequently used queries in a production environment.

O problema

Quantas vezes migramos uma instância do IRIS para outra máquina, talvez até para outra versão, e depois de alguns dias percebemos que esquecemos aquela configuração de SSL essencial para que um Business Operation funcione? Ou talvez uma credencial, ou até uma classe solitária em um pacote isolado?

A solução

A solução simples é fazer um checklist¹. Um checklist das entidades que precisamos mover. Porém, checklists simples em documentos do Word muitas vezes são esquecidos ou simplesmente ignorados.

Hey Community!

Have you attended one of the Global Summits or a previous READY 2025? We’d love your help to inspire others to join InterSystems READY 2026!

We’re inviting community members to record a short video (less than 1 minute) answering one or more of these questions:

• What did you find most valuable about attending?
• What surprised you?
• Why should others join READY 2026?
• Who would benefit most from attending?

Your authentic perspective helps future attendees understand the real impact of these events, beyond the agenda.

I have a json object coming in on a service with a field that has "NaN" as its value.

"ReferralInOutOfNetworkCd": "NaN",

In my DTL, I do a straight copy. yet what goes outbound is NaN, without being wrapped in double quotes

"consulting_provider_network_ordering_rd":NaN,

Has anyone experience this?  If so, did you find a way to fix or work around it?

Hi Community!

We’re building a series of short, hands-on Instruqt tutorials to help newcomers get up to speed with InterSystems technologies faster and more effectively. To kick things off, we’ve just released a new tutorial, “Data Models of InterSystems IRIS,” covering the fundamentals of the IRIS multimodel approach. This is exactly the type of focused, concise, practical learning experience we want to expand. And this is where you come in!

We’d love to hear your ideas for other tutorial topics to help developers new to InterSystems IRIS take their first steps with confidence. Please welcome the new sweepstakes:

💡 Topics for hands-on Instruqt Tutorials 💡

Please, provide Code example to build a %Library.DynamicObject or a %Library.DynamicArray from Resultset followed by converting to JSON

Hello Community!

We're pleased to invite you to the upcoming webinar in Hebrew:

👉Getting Started with OAuth 2.0 on InterSystems 👈

I would like to understand the mechanism of "How data is written to the IRIS Database and in what sequence data is written to Journal, WIJ and IRIS database"

Is it possible to run a test case by classname instead of loading it from a directory?

I need to skip any directory loading completely since the directory with the source code does not exist.

While reviewing our Orphan messages, we noticed that there are some Orphans that look like they are the start of an HL7 message.

MSH|^~\&

Since this does not link to any Message Header, and most of the information in EnsLib_HL7.Message is NULL, is there a way to track down what Object maybe creating these so we can nip it in the bud.

Only way that I know of is to go through each of our Schema's and make both the MSH and Encoding Characters optional.

READY 2026 is almost here and some people are still deciding whether to go 👀

Hi Communtiy,
I am a begineer who is working and trying to understand Intersystems. I am developing an Ensemble interface which receives a XML message and converts it into HL7 format without using enslib.HL7 classes. 
Requirement

Hello,

I have problem to get working my web application in IIS. On apache just works fine.

I had an app in wwwroot called test, there is index.html file where is tag

I created a new repo called ipm-module-budget from https://github.com/intersystems-community/intersystems-iris-dev-template template.

I cloned the repo to an EC2 instance in AWS. When I try to build image, I see this error:

#8 22.09 [IRISAPP|ipm-module-budget] Reload START (/home/irisowner/dev/)Segmentation fault (core dumped) #8 ERROR: process "/bin/sh -c pip3 install -r requirements.txt && iris start IRIS && \tiris session IRIS < iris.scri pt && iris stop IRIS quietly" did not complete successfully: exit code: 139

Already included in SystemPerformance

There are nfs disk commands (including nfsiostat) included with SystemPerformance, but disabled by default. Enable them by running:

$$Enablenfs^SystemPerformance()

Doing so will add the following nfs commands, for example, on Linux:

1. /usr/sbin/nfsstat -cn
2. /usr/sbin/nfsiostat [interval] [count]

Ensure the commands are installed and runnable from the OS :)

This can be subsequently disabled via $$Disablenfs^SystemPerformance()

Adding a generic command to SystemPerformance

Adding an arbitrary OS tool creates a "user" command under ^IRIS.

Hi Community,

A big perk of attending InterSystems READY 2026 (April 27–30) is the chance to talk to experts like @Sam Schafer!
