Hello to all my fellow Cache Developers/Experts out there :)

The purpose of this post is to get input/feedback regarding an issue we are having with our Cache LIS web-based application not being able to remove locks that were taken under a separate process.

Here is the background of how the LIS does the locking and details about the issue:

Your Mission

Let's pretend for a moment that you're an international action spy who's dedicated your life to keeping the people of the world safe from danger. You recieve the following mission:

Good day, Agent IRIS,

We're sorry for interrupting your vacation in the Bahamas, but we just received word from our London agent that a "time bomb" is set to detonate in a highly populated area in Los Angeles. Our sources say that the "time bomb" is set to trigger at 3:14 PM this afternoon.

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, Community!

Have you thought about becoming a subject matter expert (SME) for InterSystems Certification?

The benefits are many—but you can hear directly from five members of our SME community as they discuss:

How did participating in exam development boost your own expertise?

We're excited to announce a new version release of the SQLTools VS Code extension.

SQLTools connects VS Code users to the most commonly used databases using drivers, including InterSystems IRIS. With over 3.5 million downloads, it is helping users work with their data much more easily.

Hi Team,

I've basic learning in Ensemble. I want to create a code as per following request. Please help in clearing following questions

We have a business process-AA. In this business process, we have onRequest method, here after performing some logic, I have to call a method ProcessAAlogic.

We are trying to make an ODBC connection via our intersystems ensemble (2016.2 running on ubuntu). However, when I am testing the connection I receive a pop-up that: "Http object response incomplete or invalid.0,#R". Note that the iodbctrace.log remains empty (and it is working because on the first try it registered a 459 error that I should activate kerberos, which I did). Any advise where I should look?

I have taken the following actions:

1. Expand the cacheodbc.ini in the mgr directory as follows:

As the title says, I've noticed that files that gets saved to the disk where the database lies (.DAT file) in the stream directory, does not get purged. Is this expected and do we need to create our own schedule task to clean this folder up?

I could only find old answers that say this, however I find it a bit odd if that is the case because they are considered temporary files. Perhaps I do not handle the streams correctly in the code?

Visual Studio Code releases new updates every month with new features and bug fixes, and the August 2025 release is now available.

I've been trying to set up a script I can run after installing an instance to enable IPM across all namespaces. I have been able to install IPM successfully using

set r = ##class(%Net.HttpRequest).%New(),
    r.Server="pm.community.intersystems.com",
    r.SSLConfiguration="ISC.FeatureTracker.SSL.Config" 
d r.Get("/packages/zpm/latest/installer"),
    $system.OBJ.LoadStream(r.HttpResponse.Data,"c")

and then running the zpm commands

Hey Community,

In the previous article, we saw how to build a customer service AI agent with smolagents and InterSystems IRIS, combining SQL, RAG with vector search, and interoperability.

In that case, we used cloud models (OpenAI) for the LLM and embeddings.

This time, we’ll take it one step further: running the same agent, but with local models thanks to Ollama.
