Stop vs code trying to auto log in to all workspace folder

When using VS code with multiple workspaces it requests "The extension 'InterSystems ObjectScript' wants to sign in using InterSystems Server Credentials. 

Other than having multiple workspaces per environemnt (which never really works for me in principle as i end up code comparing in one manner or another) is there a way to only have intersystems log in to VS code whenever you open an actual workspace itself i.e. click on dev not on loading vscode. 

This would also get around errors of "unauthenticated access rejected by" errors as VS code tries to log in without the password first.

Connecting to Cloud SQL with DBeaver using SSL/TLS

With the release of InterSystems IRIS Cloud SQL, we're getting more frequent questions about how to establish secure connections over JDBC and other driver technologies. While we have nice summary and detailed documentation on the driver technologies themselves, our documentation does not go as far to describe individual client tools, such as our personal favourite DBeaver. In this article, we'll describe the steps to create a secure connection from DBeaver to your Cloud SQL deployment.

How to write at the end of a global ? (last node)

I have a global with multiple nodes : 

^A("ABC") = ""
^A("DEF") = ""
^A(123) = ""

How to create a new single node in that global, in a way it's always at the end of the global (eg: this will be the very last node being enumerated)

I end up with this code but maybe there is a cleaner and simpler approach : 

set ^A($char(65535)) = "" //should be bigger than any character inserted

I only need to write it once, this code is not intended to be used in a loop or something, just to add something at the end (like a footer).
Usually, the naked global would contains the key of the last node, but that's not

"IRIS-CoPilot" prototype - English (etc) as an IRIS language?

Keywords:  IRIS, Agents, Agentic AI, Smart Apps

Motive?

Transformer based LLMs appear to be a pretty good "universal logical–symbolic abstractor".  They started to bridge up the previous abyss among human languages and machine languages, which in essence are all logic symbols that could be mapped into the same vector space. 

Objective?

Wondering for 3 years we might be able to just use English (etc human natural languages) to do IRIS implementations as well, one day. 

Possibly tomorrow all machines, software and apps will be "intelligent" enough to interact with users in any human languages to get

Developing an AI-Powered Observability Layer for IRIS Globals

Global Guard AI

1 Introduction

In environments that use InterSystems IRIS, globals are the physical foundation of data storage. Although system queries and administrative tools exist for metric inspection, global growth analysis is usually reactive: the problem is generally only noticed when there is disk pressure or performance impact.

Global Guard AI was developed to create a snapshot-oriented observability layer, aligned with the idea published in DPI-I-512 — and based on the series of articles written by Ariel Glikman, Sales Engineer at InterSystems:

Monitoring the growth of the database - Part 1: Data collection

Data Collection

This is a step-by-step instruction guide for creating a task to collect data about the InterSystems database and globals therein (as seen in the associated Open Exchange App - find all the associated code there)

UPDATE (Aug 1 2024): Recently I've been asked about the differences between this and the History Monitor functionality. In short, the data collection monitor builds on the history monitor by adding the ability to track growth of individual globals.

AI-Powered Clinical Matching: Introducing iris-medmatch

In the modern healthcare landscape, finding clinically similar patients often feels like looking for a needle in a haystack. Traditional keyword searches often fail because medical language is highly nuanced; a search for "Heart Failure" might miss a record containing "Congestive Cardiac Failure."

I am excited to share iris-medmatch, an AI-powered patient matching engine built on InterSystems IRIS for Health. By leveraging Vector Search, this tool understands clinical intent rather than just matching literal strings.

Facial Recognition with InterSystems Vector Search and DeepFace

The facial recognition has become the most popular method for validating people's identities, thus enabling access to systems, confirmation of personal and documentary data, and approval of actions and documents.
The challenges are related to performance when the database is very large, accuracy, and especially the privacy of biometric facial data. For these challenges, nothing is better than using InterSystems Vector Search, as it allows:

  1. Performing vector searches in millions of records with much faster responses than traditional methods.
  2. The vector and mathematical models used by Vector

Exposing a Basic REST API with InterSystems IRIS: Step-by-Step Docker Example

Introduction

InterSystems IRIS allows you to build REST APIs using ObjectScript classes and the %CSP.REST framework. This enables the development of modern services to expose data for web apps, mobile apps, or system integrations.

In this article, you'll learn how to create a basic REST API in InterSystems IRIS, including:

  • A persistent data class
  • A REST class with GET and POST methods
  • A web application to expose the API

  • A full demonstration using Docker

What is the most efficient way to debug encoding characters issues?

Hello, how are you?

Using Healthshare for Interoperability, we often see a wide variety of encoding issues. Some happen when transforming XML to HL7. Some happen the other ay around transforming HL7 to XML.

Is there a valid way to understand which encoding needs to be used?

I ask, because we use SOAP or REST or TCP HL7 services.

And we deliver messages with TCP HL7, SOAP, HTTP Operations.

And we often face this issue where special characters like ñ or á, are not encoded correctly.

Thanks for your replies.

Expose %Stream property in JDBC as CLOB

I need to reproduce a table (in fact a view, but let's start with a simple table 😊) in IRIS as the currently used in Oracle.

I need to expose/project one column to JDBC as CLOB, in my class I have the corresponding property defined as:

Property GlobStream As %Stream.GlobalCharacter;

In JDBC this column is projected as LONGVARCHAR, this is compliant with the documentation but I need to project it as CLOB.

In addition, I'm no expert in JDBC but wit seems that LONGVARCHAR has a Maximum Length 32,700 characters in JDBC, not quite enough for an arbitrary stream.

Is it possible to project a %Stream to

M-U5K-3T: When Code Golf Meets Planetary Survival

The ore on M-U5K-3T is everywhere. Unfortunately, everything else on the surface is actively trying to kill you.

Beyond IntegratedML: What are our options for Continuous Training (CT) in IRIS?

Hello everyone,
I’m looking to implement Continuous Training (CT) as part of an MLOps strategy for some data science projects in IRIS. I want to automate the full cycle:

- Monitoring model performance & accuracy degradation.
- Retraining models automatically.
- Validating and updating production models.

I’ve looked into IntegratedML, but it seems more focused on the SQL interface for training (AutoML). Even with the new Custom Models (beta), which allows for more flexibility with Python, it doesn't seem to provide the "Continuous" orchestration out of the box.

I’d like to know:
