Hi!
We are deploying the iris image in a Kubernetes environment and the cluster state is "Hung" , looking the alerts endpoint we get 2 alerts:

[

     "time":"2026-03-24T13:45:44.548Z",
     "severity":"2",

     "severity":"2",
     "message":"Error: <PROTECT>KillAlive+1^%SYS.CDIRECT in SERVERS"
  }
]
Any idea / help where those are comming from and how to address them?

Introduction — The Problem with AI Streaming in ObjectScript

Today, I would like to introduce a problem I encountered and the solution I found when integrating AI APIs into an ObjectScript application. My initial tests were successful, yet somewhat frustrating.

The HTTP call worked; the request was properly sent to my LLM APIs. But then, silence... a long wait. Eventually, the entire response arrived as a single block.

Technically, it worked, but the user experience was disappointing compared to a ChatGPT session.

Modern models are designed to stream their output token by

Hi Communtiy,
I am a begineer who is working and trying to understand Intersystems. I am developing an Ensemble interface which receives a XML message and converts it into HL7 format without using enslib.HL7 classes. 
Requirement

1. My file consists of patient details which needs to be updated in a sql table whenever the same patient arrives. We need to check if the patient exists and convert it into a pId segment.
2.

SetUp:

I have created the following Task to kick off a Ens.BusinessService to execute a SQL query and process the results

Class OSU.Workday.TerminationsTask Extends %SYS.Task.Definition
{

Parameter TaskName As STRING = "OSU - Workday Termination Update";

Method OnTask() As %Status
{
    #Dim sc as %Status
    #Dim ex as %Exception.AbstractException
    
    set sc = $$$OK

    try{
        // create the service
        #Dim tService As OSU.DataSource.Workday.TermService
        Set tServiceConfigName = "OSU.DataSource.Workday.

Hi Community!

We’re building a series of short, hands-on Instruqt tutorials to help newcomers get up to speed with InterSystems technologies faster and more effectively. To kick things off, we’ve just released a new tutorial, “Data Models of InterSystems IRIS,” covering the fundamentals of the IRIS multimodel approach. This is exactly the type of focused, concise, practical learning experience we want to expand. And this is where you come in!

We’d love to hear your ideas for other tutorial topics to help developers new to InterSystems IRIS take their first steps with confidence. Please welcome the new sweepstakes:

Hello, I am working with @Alberto Fuentes https://openexchange.intersystems.com/package/workshop-iris-oauth2.

I wonder how do I get a token to send to the resserver?

I tried calling "token_endpoint" : "https://webserver/authserver/oauth2/token"

The response was "error":"invalid_request","error_description":"Unknown grant_type"

I wonder what needs to be in the request body? Is it a GET or POST?

READY 2026 is almost here and some people are still deciding whether to go 👀

Imagine a colleague asks you: “Why should I attend READY this year?”

You only get one sentence to convince them.

Let’s see who can make READY 2026 impossible to resist.

We are trying to run the HS solution inside of a container, but we are getting the following errors un start up
03/17/26-10:19:05:108 (1386) 1 [Generic.Event] Cannot lock /usr/irissys/mgr/hslib/ err(13): will try accessing readonly
03/17/26-10:19:08:174 (1386) 1 [Generic.Event] Cannot lock /usr/irissys/mgr/enslib/ err(13): will try accessing readonly

I understand that those databases should be mounted as read only don't needing the lock, any idea how to fix it? or where should I look to configure it correctly?
Thanks!

Please, provide Code example to build a %Library.DynamicObject or a %Library.DynamicArray from Resultset followed by converting to JSON

Hey Community!

Have you attended one of the Global Summits or a previous READY 2025? We’d love your help to inspire others to join InterSystems READY 2026!

We’re inviting community members to record a short video (less than 1 minute) answering one or more of these questions:

• What did you find most valuable about attending?
• What surprised you?
• Why should others join READY 2026?
• Who would benefit most from attending?

Your authentic perspective helps future attendees understand the real impact of these events, beyond the agenda.

As you all probably know, Health Connect / IRIS for Health natively supports DICOM messaging, and many of you will have used it daily. Well, I recently discovered a rather insidious little issue that our beloved @Alberto Fuentes gave me the solution.

We (I) will call this phenomenon the Creosote effect (those of you who know Monty Python will understand the reference, for the rest you can see the sketch here )

Mr.

I created a table profile dashboard on Power BI, but I wonder if is possible to do it in Iris by creating a class.

Hi Community,

Preparing for InterSystems Certification examsrequires more than reading documentation. It calls for focused practice aligned with real exam objectives.If you are planning to validate your expertise in HL7, SQL, System Administration, or Development, structured preparation can make a significant difference.

Hello to all the esteemed members of the InterSystems developer community in Spanish!

Although I often consult the developer community and have occasionally left a question here, this will be my first article, and what better occasion to do so than by participating in the 3rd technical article contest.

The topic I will cover in this article is the different tools that InterSystems IRIS provides us to optimize both the databases and the queries we run, as well as the new types of storage and data.

Anyone up for a round of golf?

Are you fed up of making a machine write code for you? Do you miss thinking through problems yourself? Then you are in luck, this round, I propose adding the rule of no AI use. obviously its a game of honor with no prize, so I shan't be enforcing this, but you'll know... 

Challenge:

Create a function which takes a string as a parameter, and returns the length of thelongest sequence of alternating consonants and vowels. The sequence is broken by having two vowels or two consonants in a row.

Hi,
I'm pretty sure I'm not the first one to encounter this, so please share your solution
I'm trying to load a package with 2 dependencies, one of them has 5 dependencies..
is there a better tool / script / wizard for that?

The problem

How many times have we migrated an IRIS Instance to another machine, maybe even another version, and after a few days realized we forgot that one SSL Configuration critical for a Business Operations to work? Or maybe a credential, or a lonely class in a package by itself?

The solution

The simple solution is to make a checklist¹. A checklist of the entities we have to move. But simple checklists on Word documents are often forgotten, or just ignored.
