If you have long-running messages here's a simple code to catch them. You can also use Queue Wait Alert to get the same results, although this code will catch even a single active message with an empty queue. It also scans all namespaces with no production modification, so it can be used for debugging.
Include Ensemble
Class User.LongMessagesTask Extends %SYS.Task.RabbitMQ is a message broker that allows producers (those who send a data message) and consumers (those who receive a data message) to establish asynchronous, real-time, and high-performance massive data flows. RabbitMQ supports AMQP (Advanced Message Queuing Protocol), an open standard application layer protocol.
The main reasons to employ RabbitMQ include the following:
- You can improve the performance of the applications using an asynchronous approach.
- It lets you decouple and reduce dependencies between services, microservices, and applications with the help of a data message mediator, meaning that there is no need for producers and consumers of exchanged data to know each other.
- It allows the long-running processing of sent data (with the results) to be delivered after utilizing a response queue.
- It helps you migrate from monolithic to microservices, where microservices exchange data via Rabbit in a decoupled and asynchronous way.
- It offers reliability and resilience by making it possible for messages to be stored and forwarded. A message can be delivered multiple times until it is processed.
- Message queueing is the key to scaling your application. As the workload increases, you will only have to add more workers to handle the queues faster.
- It works well with data streaming applications.
- It is beneficial for IoT applications.
- It is a must for Bots’ communication.
Hi All,
First I want give a Shout Out to @Theo Stolker and @Rupert.Young. Because they helped me with the solution.
When you're using the EnsLib.SQL.Snapshot as a Property in the Response Message to return Snapshot data (,e.g.: from Business Operation to Business Process,) the Snapshot data won't be cleaned with the Purge messages task/service.
{
Property SnapshotProp As EnsLib.SQL.Snapshot;
}
The data will be stuck in the global: ^Ens.AppData. You can find it with this query in System>Globals: ^Ens.AppData("EnsLib.SQL.

Hi everyone,
I need to connect to an SFTP server from InterSystems IRIS 2024, but the connection must go through a proxy.
I couldn’t find any built-in support for SFTP with proxy in IRIS/Ensemble.
What would be the recommended approach in this case?
is there any native or supported way to handle SFTP + proxy?
Any examples or best practices would be appreciated. Thanks!

My team is trying to decide on the best Git strategy for a group of related but separate projects/environments.
One side prefers one repo per project/environment/namespace for cleaner separation. The other side prefers one repo with multiple project folders so shared code and releases are easier to manage in one place.
The challenge is that these projects are separate enough that boundaries matter but related enough that some utilities and common logic may need to be reused. We also want the setup to be easy for developers to understand and not become a deployment nightmare later.

Despite the fact that LOCK (docs) is a foundational part of InterSystems IRIS, responsible for concurrency, there is not a lot of discussion on the Developer Community about it. Which is understandable, considering it's stable and fairly low-level command. In this article, I will show a simple example of how to use locks with interoperability.

v2026.1 was just released as GA, and one of the features I'm looking forward to using is the DTL Explainer feature.
This allows you to take a Data Transformation, and with a click of a button get a human-readable description of the transformation (which you can also use as the basis for the DTL Description).
For complex DTLs, especially ones you didn't write yourself, or you did but a long time ago, this will allow you to get a clear quick understanding of what it's doing.
It’s no secret that the InterSystems Global Masters program is integrated with Developer Community, Open Exchange, and Ideas Portal. Whenever you contribute to any of these platforms, you automatically earn points and badges on Global Masters.
We’ve created a short guide to help you discover the best ways to earn points on Global Masters:
Please note that points are automatically awarded on the 4th day after you make a contribution on DC, OEX, or the Ideas Portal (activities made outside of the Global Masters platform).

Hi Guys,
I've connected VS Code to my IRIS server and can see projects & web application option but not Classes tab, how can I add it, and with the old Studio we do have the Inspector tab where we can check properties, Storage, methods, are these available in VS code?
also does any changes or new classes created via VS code automatically reflected in my IRIS namespace ?
Thanks
Introduction
The standard %Net.HttpRequest library in InterSystems IRIS is powerful and comprehensive, but it can be verbose for simple operations. Writing an HTTP request often requires several lines of code to instantiate the class, configure the server, the port, HTTPS, add headers, and finally send the request.
When testing in the terminal, this configuration quickly becomes too heavy, and usually ends up with the creation of temporary methods...
FastHTTP
Since our previous announcement, we have introduced several incremental improvements to the client‑side editing experience in VS Code. These updates focus on preserving developer‑authored formatting when synchronizing with the server.
What Changed
Client‑side *.cls files previously lost certain formatting details during compilation, including keyword casing (e.g., classmethod → ClassMethod), normalization of blank lines between class members, and removal of line breaks within parameter lists.

The Interoperability user interface project has continued from 2025.1 and has incorporated many of the items that you – our customers and partners – have suggested and observed. We are continuing to invest in feedback and updating this important user experience. In the latest release, 2026.1 for IRIS, IRIS for Health, Health Connect and Health Connect Cloud, the BPL Editor and Message Viewer/Visual Trace applications are now available for opt-in!
NOTE:
- Existing users can switch between the modernized and standard experiences.
If you're building solutions on IRIS and want to use Git, that's great! Just use VSCode with a local git repo and push your changes out to the server - it's that easy.
But what if:
- You're collaborating with other developers on a shared, remote development environment and want to avoid concurrent editing of the same file
- You're using editors based in the management portal for BPL, DTL, pivots, dashboards, etc.

Hi Community,
We're excited to invite you to the next Community webinar presented by George James Software, an InterSystems partner:
🗓️ Date & Time: Thursday, April 9th, 4 pm BST | 11 am EDT
I thought I knew how to return a Response from a Business Process back to the Source Config Name, but I guess not.
I am working on a Proof of Concept, that the Request Message Class would determine a "Route" within a Business Process to make a FHIR call (search, read) to our External FHIR repository, and return back the HS.FHIR.DTL.vR4.Model.Resource.xxxxxxx as a Response to the Source Config Name.
I have the FHIR part working, however now that I have the data in the form of HS.FHIR.DTL.vR4.Model.Resource.
So I would like to start a production with a service that has an SQL trigger for after and INSERT. Then I would like it to start a process. Could someone help me in the direction of a solution, please and thanks.

Hello InterSystems Community,
I hope you're all doing well. I'm reaching out to ask if there's any way to enable a dark theme or dark mode for the HealthShare Management Portal.
Background
I have a visual impairment (amblyopia/lazy eye) which means I'm nearly blind in one eye. Like many people with visual difficulties, I find that bright white backgrounds and interfaces cause significant eye strain and fatigue. This makes it challenging to work with the Management Portal for extended periods.
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.

Here's a practical example of how to import data from a CSV file into InterSystems CACHÉ using ObjectScript
Assuming your CSV file is simple (e.g., comma-separated, with headers), you can use %Stream.FileCharacter to read it line by line and parse the data.
ClassMethod ImportCSV(filePath As %String) As %Status {
Set stream = ##class(%Stream.FileCharacter).%New()
Set sc = stream.LinkToFile(filePath)
If 'sc Quit sc
While 'stream.AtEnd {
Set line = stream.New
