Hello! In this article, I will be discussing database degrade, a type of data integrity issue one can face when using IRIS. First, I will be going over a review of the structure of IRIS databases. I'll then discuss how database degrade can manifest and common causes of degrade issues. I'll then conclude with general tips we give our customers about how to prevent or prepare for database degrade issues.
We’re excited to invite you to take part in shaping the next generation of ObjectScript development tools. We’re working on an AI-powered ObjectScript coding assistant designed specifically for IRIS developers. Not a generic AI adapted for ObjectScript, but a solution built from the ground up to understand ObjectScript idioms, IRIS APIs, interoperability productions, and real-world developer workflows.
To make sure we build something truly useful, we need your input.

Did you know you can deploy InterSystems IRIS Community Edition on the cloud without paying for a license? You can try for free, and it could even come in handy if you want to show off that shiny new app you've created (maybe for the full stack competition..?)
In this article I will provide a complete walkthrough on how to deploy IRIS on Amazon Web Services (AWS), and will also add a follow up for deploying on Azure.
Now before I begin the walkthrough, I want to admit that I was terrified of using AWS the first time because I'd seen memes about how easy it is to rack up costs on AWS. So if you're thinking the same, I suggest you start by signing up to a Free Tier Account, which gives you $100 free credit to evaluate, and automatically shuts off to prevent charges. InterSystems IRIS Community Edition has a free license so if you pair the two, you can deploy without risk and completely for free. (Disclaimer: although I'm sure this is true, please do read the free account terms and make your own decisions 😅 )
Here at InterSystems, we often deal with massive datasets of structured data. It’s not uncommon to see customers with tables spanning >100 fields and >1 billion rows, each table totaling hundred of GB of data. Now imagine joining two or three of these tables together, with a schema that wasn’t optimized for this specific use case. Just for fun, let’s say you have 10 years worth of EMR data from 20 different hospitals across your state, and you’ve been tasked with finding….
Can the IRIS SQL engine be extended with custom optimization rules (e.g., prioritizing certain indices or join orders)? If not, is there a supported way to influence cost models?
A .iostream file got stored in /intersystems/HCENG01B12/mgr/Temp for a BatchFileOperation class while HC was on the secondary node. HealthConnect is now on the primay node and cannot find that .iostream file path. The operation starts throwing errors when the RolloverSchedule is reached
OnKeepalive() returned ERROR #5012: File '/intersystems/HCENG01B12/mgr/Temp/QWhoZAwFF3f9jQ.iostream' does not exist
InterSystems Certification is currently developing a certification exam for CCR Tier 2 users, and if you match the exam candidate description below, we would like you to beta test the exam! The exam will be available for beta testing starting January 27, 2026.

CCR now includes an AI-powered 'CCR Assistant', available to beta testers. The CCR Assistant helps you quickly get answers about common CCR workflows, terminology, or best practices. Every response includes references to relevant ICC Training courses, making it easy to dive deeper into any topic. As a future improvement, the links will point directly to the specific page of the ICC Training PDF that was used to generate the response.
Currently in the health connect code, we are using Epic FHIR API Patient.Create, code return 200 or 201 status values, we process the message based on this return values.
Now I need to use Epic FHIR Patient.$match API, need to check FHIR Error code 4101 for this API. I looked for FHIR statndard return code, but this this seems not standard code, please advice how can I check 4101 value?
During the webinar, you will discover the exciting challenges and opportunities that await developers in this contest. We will also discuss the topics we would like the participants to cover and show you how to develop, build, and deploy applications using the InterSystems IRIS data platform.
Date & Time: Monday, February 2 – 12:00 pm EST | 6:00 pm CET
How many times have you had to receive or generate a JSON and wished you could work on it using DTLs without having to deal with DynamicObjects trying to remember the name of each field? Do you want to break down and make your giant JSON file more digestible?
In my case, never, but I thought that someone might find it useful to have a feature that captures your JSON and breaks it down into a series of ObjectScript classes that you can work with more easily and conveniently.
I am facing a JDBC connection issue after migrating from Caché 2016 to Caché 2018.1. When I attempt to connect using the following connection settings:
Job Title: InterSystems Developer / Specialist (IRIS / HealthShare) Location: New York City, NY (Hybrid / Remote) Duration: Contract (2+ years) Experience: Min. 8 Years
I've modified the class file, but messages still arrive as a single line (e.g., "H|.../rQ|.../rL") instead of separate lines in the ASTM service. The <ENQ>..<EOT> header looks correct, logs show no errors, and the service receives messages fine. Is there an Ensemble 2018.1 engine setting (like line terminator handling or TCP framing) to fix the line splitting?
Some concepts make perfect sense on paper, whereas others require you to get your hands dirty.
Take driving, for example. You can memorize every component of the engine mechanics, but that does not mean you can actually drive.

My team lead mentioned that users can sometimes create globals directly without associating them with tables or classes. In this case, these globals would not be accessible via SQL.
Is this correct? Can a global exist independently in this way, and if so, is there a specific approach to access or manage them without SQL?
