Question Hannah Sullivan · Aug 6, 2025

I have a custom Buffer class which is designed to capture written/printed statements to the device, to be able to transform the captured text to string or stream type. I have used this in ObjectScript to capture ObjectScript write statements and return a string. I would like to try to use this with a [ Language = python ] method as follows. This class will be called by a scheduled task.

/// ObjectScript code which initializes buffer to capture statements written in nested method call
ClassMethod CollectStringFromBuffer() 
{
    set buffer = ##class(CustomClass.Buffer).%New()
    do buffer.

When I install the numpy package on Python on my PC using:

pip install numpy

I can use it in python on my machine. If I do:

pip install --target C:\InterSystems\IRIS\mgr\python numpy

I get errors any time I try to import it in embedded python.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\intersystems\iris\mgr\python\numpy\_core\__init__.py", line 23, in <module>

Trying to extract the narrative text from large CCDA files using EnsLib.EDI.XML.Document:GetValueAt method

Getting a MAXSTRING error from the GetValueAt method.. Tried alternate by using GetSubDocumentAt and put it to string. Still it is giving a Invalid OREF method. Is there any limitation on these OOB methods. Also looking for ideas to extract it

Overview

The typeorm-iris project provides experimental support for integrating TypeORM with InterSystems IRIS, enabling developers to interact with IRIS using TypeORM’s well-known decorators and repository abstractions. This allows a more familiar development experience for JavaScript and TypeScript developers building Node.js applications with IRIS as the backend database.

TypeORM MongoDB Review. I recently started using TypeORM in a… | by Eliezer  Steinbock | Medium

While the project implements key integration points with TypeORM and supports basic entity operations, it’s not yet battle-tested or suitable for production environments.

Question Jeffrey Drumm · Aug 5, 2025

It appears as though command history is not available via up/down arrow keyboard keys when using the SQL Shell. Is there anything in the works to change that?

Also, typing the colon character (:) as the first character after the prompt in Terminal Lite does odd things in 2025.1.1 ... every keystroke starting with the colon is echoed back and pressing Enter generates an error:

The red :SQL on the first line was echoed simultaneously as the :SQL in white was typed. Also, it's obvious that aliases don't work in Terminal Lite 😉

Hello, how are you?

First of all thanks for your time reading this question.

We are investigating how to validate the indexes of a global. We have read:

https://docs.intersystems.com/irisforhealth20251/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI…

And:

https://docs.intersystems.com/irisforhealth20251/csp/documatic/%25CSP.D…

We want to validate the inxedes of the global titled "Ens.Util.LogD". We have executed on the ObjectScript terminal, on the desired namespace:

ESBSSCC>set tSC = $SYSTEM.OBJ.

Reviewing my published packages, I identified a nasty bug in IRIS Native API

  • There is a method in  %Net.DB.Iris named function ()
  • It's equivalent to  ObjectScript $$label^routine(param) 
  • It used to work fine 2 years ago, when I published my command-line-extension packages
  • Now it is broken since at least 1 year and throws <PROTECT>
  • I identified it for ObjecScript, Java, Python, Node.js
  • It is reported as WRC# 1002589
  • For all 4 cases, I also verified a workaround
    • Instead of calling an ObjectScript Function you call a Classmethod
    • It's by %Net.DB.Iris ClassMethodValue(.

artisan cover

If you’ve ever watched a true artisan—whether a potter turning mud into a masterpiece or a luthier bringing raw wood to life as a marvelous guitar—you know that magic isn’t in the materials, but in care, craft, and process. I know this firsthand: my handmade electric guitar is a daily inspiration, but I’ll admit—creating something like that is a talent I don’t have.

Yet, in the digital world, I often see people hoping for “magic” from generative AI by typing vague, context-free prompts like “build an app.” The results are usually frustratingly shallow—no artistry, no finesse.

If one of your packages on OEX receives a review you get notified by OEX only of YOUR own package.   
The rating reflects the experience of the reviewer with the status found at the time of review.   
It is kind of a snapshot and might have changed meanwhile.   
Reviews by other members of the community are marked by * in the last column.

I also placed a bunch of Pull Requests on GitHub when I found a problem I could fix.    
Some were accepted and merged, and some were just ignored.     
So if you made a major change and expect a changed review, just let me know.

Question Oliver Wilms · Apr 21, 2025

I am brand new to using AI. I downloaded some medical visit progress notes from my Patient Portal. I extracted text from PDF files. I found a YouTube video that showed how to extract metadata using an OpenAI query / prompt such as this one:

ollama-ai-iris/data/prompts/medical_progress_notes_prompt.txt at main · oliverwilms/ollama-ai-iris
 

I combined @Rodolfo Pscheidt Jr https://github.com/RodolfoPscheidtJr/ollama-ai-iris with some files from @Guillaume Rongier https://openexchange.intersystems.com/package/iris-rag-demo.

I attempted to run

Thirteen years ago, I attained dual undergraduate degrees in electrical engineering and math, then promptly started full-time at InterSystems using neither. One of my most memorable and stomach-churning academic experiences was in Stats II. On an exam, I was solving a moderately difficult confidence interval problem. I was running out of time, so (being an engineer) I wrote out the definite integral on the exam paper, punched it into my graphing calculator, wrote an arrow with “calculator” over it, then wrote the result.

After having some discussions at Global Summit and using a lot of package managers in my day to day development (npm,nuget,Chocolatey, etc) in addition to recently using the InterSystems Package Manager for some CICD process I'm building using Intersystems IRIS and IRIS 4 Health, I wanted an easy and integrated way to search/view/install packages related to the Intersystems tech stack.

Question André-Claude Gendron · Jul 31, 2025

Hi everyone,

I’m working with an existing InterSystems IRIS server that hosts several web applications and namespace-specific code and data. I’d like to reverse-engineer the current environment into a %Installer.Manifest file so I can store it in Git and manage its changes.

My goal is to:

  • Track the application setup and configuration in version control
  • Rebuild environments consistently (namespaces, CSP apps, security roles, etc.)
  • Possibly automate deployments later on

I understand that %Installer is declarative and wasn’t necessarily designed to reflect a running system.
