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.

Picture a dark room. The only light comes from a wall of displays and a blinking prompt that politely informs you:
“LINK TO M-U5K-3T: HIGH LATENCY – DIRECT CONTROL DISABLED.”
Perfect.
You are supposed to be a Rover Commander in the Musketeer Corps. Somewhere absurdly far away, you have an autonomous unit parked on a hostile exoplanet. It wants you dead, but it’s also covered in minerals that could fund a small civilization.
The ore on M-U5K-3T is everywhere. Unfortunately, everything else on the surface is actively trying to kill you.
So, we don't pilot. We script.
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:
Hello everyone,
I am André from MedVertical. We are exploring InterSystems-native ways to operationalize continuous FHIR conformance: repeatable regression runs, baseline/delta comparisons, and evidence-style reporting to detect drift after releases and IG changes.
In many FHIR implementations, validation is done “point-in-time” in pre-prod, but conformance degrades in production due to IG/profile updates, terminology changes, mapping evolution, upstream releases, and configuration drift.
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.
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.
Hey Community!
We're happy to share a new video from our InterSystems Developers YouTube:

Hey Community,
It’s time to celebrate the Top Global Masters of 2025 🚀
Throughout the year, Global Masters actively completed activities, shared achievements, invited new members and helped grow the community.
Hello!
I am requesting feedback on the usage and experience of the Schema Viewer feature available in Interoperability-enabled products (IRIS, IRIS for Health, Health Connect). This feature is accessible via Interoperability > Interoperate.
Some questions to jog your discussion/comments below:

In the previous article, we saw in detail about Connectors, that let user upload their file and get it converted into embeddings and store it to IRIS DB. In this article, we'll explore different retrieval options that IRIS AI Studio offers - Semantic Search, Chat, Recommender and Similarity.
I am issuing "iris freeze <instance_name> to freeze the instance. I want confirmation that no IO is going to the database so taht I can take a snapshot.
I am configuring a set of Linux (RHEL 9) servers to operate as an IRIS 2025.1 mirror set. Mirroring traffic is using TLS, so each IRIS server has the necessary TLS configurations. However installation of ISCAgent on the dedicated arbiter host didn't make any mention of TLS or certificates. Nor did I find anything about this when searching IRIS documentation.
Am I missing something? Does the traffic between the IRIS hosts and the arbiter host use TLS? Should I be installing any certs on the arbiter host to facilitate secure communication?

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:
Your authentic perspective helps future attendees understand the real impact of these events, beyond the agenda.
Inspired by @Ashok Kumar T's post on the ideas portal here as well as my own wishes for a solution to this problem, I have come up with a simple way to allow more complete and consistent JSON queries without having to specify every desired field. I have created a class that extends the built-in %JSON.Adaptor class and makes its %JSONExportToString and %JSONExportToStream methods accessible through SQL with just a couple of simple SqlProc Methods.
Class DH.JSONAdaptor Extends %JSON.Adaptor [ Abstract ]
{
ClassMethod jsonstring(id, map = "") [ SqlProc ]

I’m trying to find a way to manage globals from our Java application. We have two separate features:
Managing tables normally using SQL
Managing globals, since some globals exist without class or table definitions
Cache version : Cache for UNIX (Red Hat Enterprise Linux for x86-64) 2016.1.1 (Build 108U_SU), Thu Jul 7 2016 09:39:04 EDT
I tried to retrieve the globals tree, update node values, and append nodes using SQL by calling stored procedures, but I couldn’t find any procedures for adding, updating, or deleting nodes.
I also tried using cacheextreme.
Hello Community,
We are excited to announce that registration is now open for the second cohort of the course:
🧑💻 Developing FHIR Applications Using Python 🧑💻
This hands-on program is designed for developers who want to build real-world FHIR applications using Python and InterSystems IRIS for Health.

📅 Second cohort starts March 29, 2026
I created iris-budget app for the InterSystems Full Stack Contest in 2026. By full stack, we mean a frontend web or mobile application that inserts, updates, or deletes data in InterSystems IRIS via REST API, Native API, ODBC/JDBC, or Embedded Python.
My app uses multiple REST APIs to add a new category or retrieve a list of categories of expenses and income.
I inherited /csp/coffee from module.xml in iris-fullstack-template.
For this project, I created a swagger file called "budget.json.
Hey Community,
More than 1,100 applications are already available for everyone to download on the InterSystems Open Exchange.
And now it's time to announce the best developers and the most downloaded apps of 2025!

Let's take a closer look at our heroes and their apps:
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.
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.
Hey Developers,
It's time to announce the Top InterSystems Developer Community Authors of 2025 🎉

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.
Wondering for 3 years we might be able to just use English (etc human natural languages) to do IRIS implementations as well, one day.
Hi Team,
I am working on an ASTM interface using EnsLib.EDI.ASTM.Service.TCPService.
Environment
InterSystems Ensemble / IRIS (please specify your exact version)
Service class extending:
Class Custom.ASTM.Service.TCPService
Extends EnsLib.EDI.ASTM.Service.TCPService
{
Parameter EOTOPTIONAL = 1;
Parameter ADAPTER = "Custom.EDI.ASTM.Adapter.TCPAdapter"
}
Custom Adapter:
Include EnsEDIASTM
Class Custom.EDI.ASTM.Adapter.TCPAdapter Extends EnsLib.EDI.ASTM.Adapter.
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.
