Question Touggourt · Sep 2, 2025

Hi Guys,

I get the below error when trying to compile an imported class in IRIS, it compiles if I remove [ Collection = list ] so not sure about the use of  [ Collection = list ] and if removing it would affect anything and its just a duplication?

Thanks

I created a Custom Search Table that extends EnsLib.HL7.Search Table. I saved, compiled, and rebuilt the index however when I go into Message Search to try to use the Search Table, within the conditions the proper fields are not showing up that was defined. It is showing the fields from EnsLib.HL7.SearchTable. I did a build index on both EnsLib.HL7.SearchTable and OSU.HL7.SearchTable.

⏯️ Health Evolve: Transforming Unstructured Data

Did you know that 80% of healthcare data is stuck in unstructured formats such as fax? If you take a walk down to Mass General in Boston, you'll literally see a state-of-the-art MRI machine next to a fax machine. Healthcare keeps building incredible new technology but can't let go of legacy technology. We call this the "legacy modernization paradox". This short film follows a care manager at Blue Plan who spends her days doing chart reviews, reading faxes line-by-line, struggling to provide her members the care they need. Everything changes when Blue Plan pilots InterSystems Health Evolve, a solution that transforms her faxes into machine-readable FHIR data ready for AI and analysis. To access our fully working Text-to-FHIR prototype, visit HealthEvolve.de.

⏯️ Being READY to Tackle Healthcare Enterprise Challenges in a Few Clicks

Managed Cloud Solutions to Help Streamline Your Health Services.

This demo showcases composing several InterSystems Managed Cloud Services to solve various use-cases.

The video is actually built of 6 short chapters (each ~2.5 minutes long) showing each part of the story, demoing a different service.

You can watch each "chapter" individually if you're interested in a specific service, but there is value in viewing the whole composition and observing the full flow.

  • 0:00Health Connect Cloud - Medical Device MQTT - HL7v2 for Hospital Operation Systems
  • 2:29FHIR Server & FHIR Transformation Service - HL7v2 to FHIR & Repository for Regulation & Exchange
  • 5:21FHIR SQL Builder - Providing standard relational access to FHIR data
  • 7:22 "FHIR IntelliChat" (see note below) - Natural human language chat with FHIR Server
  • 9:37OMOP Solution - FHIR to OMOP transformation & OMOP database with OHDSI tools compliance
  • 12:54InterSystems Data Studio for Health - Creating a multi data/app sources fabric 

[Note the "FHIR IntelliChat" part is not an actual formal InterSystems service, it is just a demonstration of a possibility (based on this solution by @José Pereira) ]

InterSystems IRIS interoperability production development involves using or writing various types of components. They include services (which handle incoming data), processes (which deal with the data flow and logic), and operations (which manage outgoing data or requests). Messages flowing through those components constantly require being adapted to consuming applications. Therefore,Data transformations are by far the most common component in interoperability productions.

Question Eduard Lebedyuk · Jan 27, 2022

I have defined a class with a dynamic object property:

 

My class

Class test.Dyn Extends %Persistent
{

Property json As %DynamicObject;

/// do ##class(test.Dyn).test()
ClassMethod test()
{
  do ..%KillExtent()
  for len = 100, $$$MaxStringLength - 1, $$$MaxStringLength, $$$MaxStringLength+1, $$$MaxStringLength *2 {
    set sc = ..save(len)
    write "Len: ",len, " Result: ",$case($$$ISERR(sc), $$$YES: $System.Status.GetErrorText(sc), : "OK"),!
  }
}

ClassMethod save(len)
{
  set json = {}
  set stream = ..getStream(len-8) // -8 because {"a":""}
  do json.%Set("a", stream, "stream")
 
  set obj = ..%New()
  set obj.json = json
  quit obj.%Save()
}

ClassMethod getStream(len)
{
  set stream = ##class(%Stream.TmpCharacter).%New()
 
  if len<$$$MaxStringLength {
    do stream.Write($tr($j("",len)," ","A"))
  } else {
    for i=1:$$$MaxStringLength:len {
      do stream.Write($tr($j("",$$$MaxStringLength)," ","A"))
    }
    do stream.Write($tr($j("",len-i)," ","A"))
  }
  quit stream
}
}

The issue I encounter is that if a length of a serialized json property is more than 3641144 symbols, the object fails to save with the following error (either MAXSTRING or STRINGSTACK):

Length: 100 Result: OK
Length: 3641143 Result: OK
Length: 3641144 Result: OK
Length: 3641145 Result: ERROR #5002: ObjectScript error: <MAXSTRING>%GetSerial+1^%Library.DynamicAbstractObject.1
Length: 7282288 Result: ERROR #5002: ObjectScript error: <STRINGSTACK>%GetSerial+1^%Library.DynamicAbstractObject.1

Is there a workaround? I need to store moderately large jsons (10-15 Mb) and dynamic object properties allow for a very convenient access.

$ZSTORAGE is set to -1.

Question Anna Golitsyna · Aug 28, 2025

Studio's Find In Files finds nothing if CLS routines are included. The error is WIDE CHAR. After using ##class(%Studio.Project).FindInFiles programmatically and then ZW after the same error I strongly suspect that CodeWalkopdatecopyopt in EnsLib.InteropTools.HL7.Cloverleaf.Parser.cls  is to blame. I cannot even open this class, unlike other classes from EnsLib.InteropTools.HL7. This error prevents searching even if System Items are excluded and I would peg EnsLib as System. Any remedy besides updating IRIS? Assuming this is fixed in later IRIS versions.

As part of a recent documentation technical project to optimize the search, I needed to use Embedded Python in my ObjectScript code. The main blocker was passing a Python list from a Python class method to a ObjectScript method. Sending the list by reference to the python method, populating it with the Insert() method, and returning the reference to the ObjectScript method resulted in an list with type %SYS.Python, a process that was straightforward but not efficient.I explored an alternative method: converting a Python list to an ObjectScript list using JSON as the intermediary format.

⏯️ Autonomous Business Intelligent Clerk (ABiC) - Combining InterSystems BI and Generative AI

Our Autonomous Business Intelligent Clerk, or ABiC for short, is a prototype revolutionizing how companies process data and make decisions. Normally, to get insights from data, you’d need IT knowledge or expertise in statistics. But with ABiC, that’s no longer necessary. All you have to do is ask your question in plain language. ABiC understands your interests and intentions, then shows a clear dashboard to guide your decisions. With ABiC, complex data is autonomously analyzed and turned into answers that support users, helping to accelerate business processes. This demo sends the metadata of InterSystems BI cubes to LLM. How does it work? Check out the video for more details!

Question Scott Roth · Aug 28, 2025

I had a need for a Filter, but did not want to recreate the wheel by creating another Data Lookup Table, so instead I created a Linked Table that points to a MS SQL Table outside of IRIS.

Once I had the Linked Table, I created a Class Method Function that would query the Linked Table and return a 1 if a result came back.

InterSystems FAQ rubric

There is data, such as execution log data, that you do not want to return to its previous state even if a rollback occurs during a transaction. The above requirement can be met by placing that data in the IRISTEMP database, which will not be rolled back.

Temporary Globals and the IRISTEMP Database

By mapping the table entities you do not want to roll back to this database, you can retain the information after the rollback.

Hi folks!

It is very easy to import CSV data into IRIS. But what if we want to preserve the original IDs in CSV?

Recently I came across with the situation when I needed to import two csv's into IRIS which were linked by one column referencing  to another csv's col: a typical Foreign Key and Primary Key situation, where csv1 contains this column as Primary Key, and csv2 as Foreign key with id's related to csv1.

The image is generated by ChatGPT so don't blame it - it tried its best to generate countries as primary keys with countries.csv-cities.csv relationship :)
