Hi Community,

Are you already InterSystems certified, or thinking about taking that next step?

InterSystems certification is a great way to showcase your skills and open new doors—but we'll let our certification holders speak for themselves:

HL7 -> SDA -> FHIR -> Personal Growth

I have a large tree outside my window. Here in Phoenix, Arizona, USA it's still warm and sunny so our plants are still covered in lush foliage despite so many other places in the full throws of Autumn. My desk is oriented such that I can look out at the tree throughout the day.

I am trying to help another group within our organization access a SQL Table that I have created to populate Epic Department Data within our environment and came across the ability to use SQL Seach REST Interface using iKnow.

However, I am having issues trying to get it to work via POSTMAN before I hand off the solution...

the POST URL... https://<servername>/api/iKnow/latest/TESTCLIN/table/osuwmc_Epic_Clarity.DepartmentMaster/search

where osuwmc_Epic_Clarity.DepartmentMaster is the table

In the body...

Often times when working with FHIR data, for example with IRIS For Health, you'll find it useful to create a custom FHIR operation. The FHIR Standard comes with a set of defined operations (such as $everything) but a custom operation comes in handy when you need to create some extra functionality that goes beyond the set of standard FHIR operations.

We have a task that runs objectscript code to load data into a linked external table. After upgrading from 2024.1 to 2025.1, the load is throwing an error, with error code -400, and no error message. The data DOES get loaded into the external table in its entirety, so with no meaningful error message, its hard to determine what the issue is. The result is the same with and without the USING clause, so don't let that confuse you. We have logs of this statement succeeding before upgrade, and were able to get this statement to work in our production environment, which is still on version 2

IRIS in Docker for beginners

The article was motivated by the 2025 September Article Bounty
***************************************************************


The principle of Docker is just convincing to me.

  • Get a sandbox where you play and try whatever you want/need to do
  • Once done. You drop it without leaving traces in your working environment

This was the technical base for me to run about 700 reviews in OEX
with almost no side effects (except those caused by myself).

InterSystems FAQ rubric

Mirroring only synchronizes database files.

To synchronize other files required for your application (CSP files, images, documents, etc.) between the two servers that make up the mirror set follow one of the approaches:

  1. Place those files on a shared disk by introducing a NAS or similar device
  2. Or use file sync software to synchronize files between two servers.

..Contains(source.{ORCgrp(x1).OBRuniongrp.NTEi2(x2):Comment(x3)},"(")&&..Matches(source.{ORCgrp(x1).OBRuniongrp.NTEi2(x2):Comment(x3)},"^[A-Z][0-9][0-9]$")

I want to do this to match strings such as X98. Community AI tells me this is correct but I get an error in testing. Specifically, this is the part causing the error;
..Matches(source.{ORCgrp(x1).OBRuniongrp.NTEi2(x2):Comment(x3)},"^[A-Z][0-9][0-9]$")


What do I need to change?

Dear, Community!

I have a concern about using %Stream.TmpCharacter for storage purposes. Reading the class's source code, I can understand a bit about how it works. But I'd like to know from the community how it actually works. Is it necessary to use the .Clear() method to clear this buffer, or is it done automatically upon disposal?

Note: Please forgive my poor English.

Summer is coming to an end, and we’re sure you had plenty of highlights! ✨

Maybe you learned something valuable, got yourself a reward on Global Masters, or even joined READY 2025 🎉

Here’s a quick checklist — but you can, of course, share anything else about your summer in the comments. Photos are more than welcome 📸

Dear Community,

I've noticed that some of my friends and colleagues are using the Developer Community app on their Android devices. Could someone please help me with the exe file or guide me on how to get it?

Hi Everyone, I'm Prakash Hinduja, a financial advisor and consultant. My roots in India now living in Geneva, Switzerland (Swiss). I'm looking for some suggestions on how to get the best performance from Adaptive Analytics 2023.2. I know it uses Adaptive Parallel Execution and automatic aggregates, but I'm curious if you've found any other tips or tricks. For example, are there any specific data modeling choices or system configurations that have worked well for you? I'm trying to make our cubes as responsive as possible. Thanks in advance for any insights!

Regards

Hi folks!

Sometimes, when designing a class method and feeding it with more and more useful features, very soon the number of parameters can reach 10 and even more.

It becomes pretty difficult for users of useful methods to remember the position of the important parameter, and it is very easy to misuse the position and transfer the wrong value to the wrong parameter.

Here is an example of such a method (I asked GPT to create a method with 20 params):

ClassMethod GenerateReportWith20Params(
    pTitle As %String = "",
    pAuthor As %String = "",
    pDate As %String = "",            // e.g. 2025-09-03
    pCompany As %String = "",
    pDepartment As %String = "",
    pVersion As %String = "1.0",
    pFormat As %String = "pdf",       // pdf|html|docx
    pIncludeCharts As %Boolean = 1,
    pIncludeSummary As %Boolean = 1,
    pIncludeAppendix As %Boolean = 0,
    pConfidentiality As %String = "Public",
    pLanguage As %String = "en",
    pReviewers As %String = "",       // CSV, e.g. "Alice,Bob"
    pApprover As %String = "",
    pLogoPath As %String = "",
    pWatermarkText As %String = "",
    pColorScheme As %String = "default",
    pPageSize As %String = "A4",
    pOrientation As %String = "Portrait",
    pOutputPath As %String = "report.pdf"
) As %Status
{

// implementation
}

Hi Guys,

I get the below error when trying to compile an imported class in IRIS, it compiles if I remove [ Collection = list ] so not sure about the use of [ Collection = list ] and if removing it would affect anything and its just a duplication?
