⏯️ AI-Assisted Rare and Complex Disease Detection

This demo shows how InterSystems Health Gateway can be used to pull in outside patient records from networks like Carequality, CommonWell, and eHealth Exchange, creating a more complete longitudinal view in a clinical viewer. That full record is then analyzed by AI to surface potential rare disease considerations with clear reasoning, helping clinicians see patterns they might otherwise miss.

🗣 @Georgia Gans, Sales Engineer at InterSystems

In this series of articles, I'd like to present and discuss several possible approaches toward software development with InterSystems technologies and GitLab. I will cover such topics as:

  • Git 101
  • Git flow (development process)
  • GitLab installation
  • GitLab Workflow
  • Continuous Delivery
  • GitLab installation and configuration
  • GitLab CI/CD

In the first article, we covered Git basics, why a high-level understanding of Git concepts is important for modern software development, and how Git can be used to develop software.

Question Mark Charlton · Apr 13

I'm starting to play more with AI enabled coding. 
I've been using Github Copilot inside Visual studio code, which is very good at coming up with autocomplete suggestions that are accurate and useful. (Along with some utter rubbish, naturally).
For web development I'm starting to use Claude Code in VS Code to help create web sites and integrations. I want to see how it can help with IRIS development. 

However I can't get claude to read any iris code directly as I'm connected to my server via isfs server connections.

Most IRIS developers use $LISTBUILD every day — often without even noticing it.

It is not just a convenient function for building lists. It is also the default internal format used to store row data, global values, and many intermediate structures inside the database engine.

Despite this, the actual binary representation of $LISTBUILD values is rarely discussed. Most developers rely on its behavior, but never look at how the data is really stored.

This article focuses strictly on the binary layout of $LISTBUILD values, based on direct inspection via zzdump.

This is the second part of an article pair where I walk you through:

  • Part I - Intro and Quick Tour (the previous article)
    • What is it?
    • Spinning up an InterSystems IRIS Cloud Document deployment
    • Taking a quick tour of the service via the service UI
  • Part II - Sample (Dockerized) Java App (this article)
    • Grabbing the connection details and TLS certificate
    • Reviewing a simple Java sample that creates a collection, inserts documents, and queries them
    • Setting up and running the Java (Dockerized) end‑to‑end sample

As mentioned the goal is to give you a smooth “first run” experience.

Question Andrew Sklyarov · Apr 18

I need a %SYS.Python object that will be accessible from different processes. The goal is to avoid reinitializing the Python object whenever it is called. Ways that I checked and decided that it is NOT what I want:

  • %-variables (process variables). Reusing only in the same process
  • Save-and-restore via globals. Restoring means heavy initialization, which I want to avoid

Next, my ideas (none of them look like a silver bullet):

  • Using Interoperability Production.

Hello, community.

I've been working with Intersystem Caché for two years, and right away I was excited about the rich ecosystem that Caché provides. However, I was disappointed with calls using #call, and I understand that it was a limitation of the time. Well, the frustration is that #call returns null by default, meaning an AJAX request is executed, but there's no hook to retrieve the return from that request. The only way to retrieve the data from that request is by building a callback on the server side using &js<>.

What is a Microservice?

A microservice is an architectural style that structures an application as a collection of small, autonomous services. Each component is developed around a specific business capability, can be deployed independently, and is typically managed by a miniature, specialized, self-governing team.

Question Ganesh Jagtap · Apr 17

Hi Team,

We are currently running InterSystems Caché 2018 on an IBM AIX server and would like to configure the Cache instance to start automatically when the server boots or is rebooted.

Could you please provide the recommended steps or any official scripts/guidelines to enable auto-start for the Cache instance (QA2018) on AIX?

Additionally, if there are any best practices or prerequisites (such as filesystem mount options, service dependencies, or startup order) that we should consider, please share those as well.

Thanks,
Ganesh

I'm a huge sci-fi fan, but while I'm fully onboard the Star Wars train (apologies to my fellow Trekkies!), but I've always appreciated the classic episodes of Star Trek from my childhood. The diverse crew of the USS Enterprise, each masterminding their unique roles, is a perfect metaphor for understanding AI agents and their power in projects like Facilis. So, let's embark on an intergalactic mission, leveraging AI as our ship's crew and  boldly go where no man has gone before

Customer support questions span structured data (orders, products 🗃️), unstructured knowledge (docs/FAQs 📚), and live systems (shipping updates 🚚). In this post we’ll ship a compact AI agent that handles all three—using:

  • 🧠 Python + smolagents to orchestrate the agent’s “brain”
  • 🧰 InterSystems IRIS for SQL, Vector Search (RAG), and Interoperability (a mock shipping status API)

⚡ TL;DR (snack-sized)

  • Build a working AI Customer Support Agent with Python + smolagents orchestrating tools on InterSystems IRIS (SQL, Vector Search/RAG, Interoperability for a mock shipping API).

InterSystems FAQ rubric

There is data, such as execution log data, that you do not want to return to its previous state even if a rollback occurs during a transaction. The above requirement can be met by placing that data in the IRISTEMP database, which will not be rolled back.

Temporary Globals and the IRISTEMP Database

By mapping the table entities you do not want to roll back to this database, you can retain the information after the rollback.
