IRIS Home Assistant Add-On (HAOS)

InterSystems IRIS Community Edition HAOS Add-On

Run InterSystems IRIS inside of Home Assistant, as an add-on.  Before you dismiss this article possibly under the guise that this is just a gimmick, Id like you to step back and take a look at how easy it is to launch IRIS based applications using this platform.  If you look at Open Exchange, you will see dozens of dozens of applications worthy of launching while they are basically hung out to dry as gitware, and launchable if you want to get into a laptop battle with containerd or Docker.  With a simple git repo, and a specification, you can now build your app on IRIS, and make it launchable through a marketplace with limited hassle to your end users.  Run it along side Ollama and the LLM/LAM implementations, expose anything in IRIS as a sensor or expose an endpoint for interaction in your IRIS app to interact with anything you've connected to HAOS.  Wanna restart an IRIS production with a flick of a physical switch or Assisted AI? You can do it with this add-on, or your own, right alongside the home automation hackers.

Frogs, Chickens, AI, and VS Code

I am going to share some of the things I find very useful about VS Code, after many years developing in Studio.

The first and obvious thing to me is the fact that it does not crash in the middle of development when it disconnects from the network for any reason, forcing you to restart Studio and deal with the risk of losing valuable code. I also find VS Code a lot quicker than Studio, and the user interface far better with so many ways to customise it to your liking.

In France we use farm animal names for our dev and test environments.

Restarting Iris after crash

IRIS Health (Community) 2026.1.0.235.2 failing to start - any tips on how to reset things without doing a full reinstall?

We use Ensemble 2018 for our production servers, and have local instances for developers running fine. We are gearing up for the move to Iris, and are using the Community edition of Iris Health to check that our existing productions all work OK.

I installed IRIS Health in mid-May alongside my existing Ensemble instance, and have it configured to auto-start when my laptop boots.

2026.2 FHIR Highlight - Binary Content Type Response

In the upcoming 2026.2 release (now available as a preview) we are adding support for a specific case of a FHIR Read.

This is for the Binary Resource - when GETting a Binary Resource that has some MIME type, and the request Accept header also has the same MIME type, the content returned will not be the FHIR Resource (JSON) itself, but rather the actual binary content. See from the FHIR docs.

InterSystems Reports Migration - Generate Report to Stream

We are looking at what we need to do to migrate from our current usage of Zen reports to InterSystems Reports. One of the hurdles for us is figuring out ways to interact with InterSystems reports programmatically from ObjectScript routines. There is a Java API for it, but it is possible to generate a report from InterSystems reports to a stream object in ObjectScript without diving into Java by using a %Net.HttpRequest.

InterSystems Reporting - Rendering Report within CSP page

Our current reports for Provider Directory, are SQL based query class files that generate within the CSP page, then we have to click a Button to have it uploaded to a SFTP server via a Stream. Now that we have InterSystems Reporting installed we are looking to replace that process. How would I go about having a Link on the CSP render the report within InterSystems Reporting?

Suggest Topics for the Code to Care Video Series

Hi Community!

The next addition to the "Code to Care" video series is in progress, and we’d like to hear from you. 

The goal of the project has always been to make complex healthcare and AI concepts easier to understand. In this discussion, we invite you to suggest fresh topics for a conversation.

💡 What could @Don Woodlock, the President of InterSystems, cover in future episodes?

Are there new AI concepts you'd like explained? Healthcare technology trends you're curious about? Architectural patterns, interoperability challenges, or emerging standards you think are worth exploring?

InterSystems IRIS Data Models Explained: Hierarchical, Key-Value, Object, Document, Relational, and Columnar

In the modern world, data is rarely uniform. Applications often require the structural rigidity of a relational database, the flexibility of a document store, and the performance of a high-speed key-value storage. Luckily, InterSystems IRIS solves this complexity by providing a single, unified engine that natively supports multiple distinct data models: 

  • Hierarchical
  • Key-value
  • Object
  • Document (JSON)
  • Relational
  • Columnar

Crucially, all of these models access exactly the same physical data.

To illustrate this approach, let's examine all these data models using the same conceptual structure: The Record of Patient P101 (John Doe).

FIX: "Unexpected server response: 101" When Opening Lite Terminal in VS Code's InterSystems ObjectScript Extension (IIS)

If you're running IRIS behind IIS and get this error when trying to open the Lite Terminal in the vscode-objectscript extension:

WebSocket error: Error: Unexpected server response: 101

check your IRIS Web Gateway log. If you see:

level=SEVERE event=WebGateway.WebSocketError
This Web Server does not support WebSockets

the fix is to enable the WebSocket Protocol IIS feature, which is not installed by default.

csvgen-pyprod

Today I published csvgen-pyprod, a simple implementation of an Example PyProd application  for the Community Bounty Program. 

The basic premise is a production that either creates or adds to tables from CSV files added to a certain directory. It basically creates a production that does the same thing as the popular OpenExchange package csvgen, from which I have taken the name. This production consists of four business hosts and an inbound adapter, arranged something like this:

The CSV Inbound Adapter polls a directory (IN) for new .csv

How are you using AI to improve your InterSystems development workflow?

Hello Community,

Artificial Intelligence tools are becoming part of many developers' daily workflows, and I'm curious how others are using them within the InterSystems ecosystem.

Are you using AI to:

- Generate ObjectScript code?
- Troubleshoot errors?
- Create SQL queries?
- Write documentation?
- Learn new InterSystems technologies faster?

I've found that AI can be a useful productivity tool, but I'm interested in hearing real-world experiences from the community.

What AI tools are you using, and where have you seen the biggest benefits or limitations?

Looking forward to your insights.

Minor news – RHEL 9.8 & 10.2 certification

Just a quick note to let you know that InterSystems has completed initial testing of IRIS with RHEL 9.8 & 10.2 without problems.

About minor OS certification

OS vendors regularly release minor updates to their products - for example, RHEL 10.2 was released on May 20th with security improvements and updates to key packages.  Minor OS releases are designed to be – and almost always are – fully backward compatible with previous releases in the major OS version.

InterSystems routinely tests the latest release of IRIS with new minor OS releases.

[Quick tip] - How to use case insensitive url in REST API Business Service

Hi all,

This is a quick tip about how to use case insensitive URL in REST API.

If you have a class that extends from %CSP.REST and Ens.BusinessService, to create a REST API service, and you have defined your WebApplication in lowercase

XData UrlMap [ XMLNamespace = "http://www.intersystems.com/urlmap" ]
{
<Routes>
    <Route Url="/user" Method="POST" Call="User"/>
    <Route Url="/login" Method="POST" Call="Login"/>
</Routes>
}

Only accepts the url in lowercase, i.e. http://myserver/myproduction/user

If you have any uppercase character, the url doesn't work.

2026.2 FHIR Highlight - FHIR Explorer

One of the latest features I'm really looking forward to in v2026.2 (now available as preview) is the "FHIR Explorer".

This new capability, part of InterSystems' FHIR Server, allows users to explore FHIR data via a friendly and intuitive UI, that builds (possibly complex) FHIR Search URLs, runs it against your FHIR Server (actually any FHIR server...), and displays the results.

Here's a simple flow:
