Hi,

Does IRIS have any support for paginating FHIR searches other than the standard next/prev links as defined in the FHIR spec?  For instance, some servers support an _offset or _skip parameter to allow for jumping to specific pages in a result set.

Introduction.

In this article, we'll cover a quick start to Git development with the InterSystems Developer Community and version control practices when working with IRIS InterSystems. We'll cover scenarios where we need to export Interoperability classes, globals, and analytics elements such as cubes and dashboards. These scenarios encompass key version control practices with IRIS.

To get started, you'll need:

1. Register and log in to GitHub
2. Be a member of the intersystems-community organization on Git

Getting started with IRIS InterSystems is very simple!

See you all at our virtual meetup! 

Every thriving technical community has individuals whose curiosity, perseverance, and generosity help shape its collective knowledge. In the InterSystems Developer Community, one such contributor is @Scott Roth, who has been an inspiring presence for nearly a decade.

👏 Let’s take a closer look at Scott's remarkable journey and his impact on the InterSystems ecosystem.

Hi Community,

On December 7, 2025, the InterSystems Developer Community officially celebrated its 10th anniversary! 🥳🎉

And now we honor this decade of learning, collaboration, problem-solving, and advancing InterSystems technologies. Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or joined recently, thank you for your contributions, questions, ideas, and support. This milestone belongs to all of you 💖 You’ve built this community into what it is today, and we’re truly grateful!

As part of the celebration, we invited you to participate in a special anniversary video. And boy, you delivered! Thank you to everyone who took the time to share their greetings, memories, and kind words.

For the question in the Title, the AI Chat gave a response of:

The ‘Current Users’ value displayed by the $System.License.ShowSummary() method represents 
real-time license usage tracked in shared memory on the local system.

We are trying to reconcile which user/process are associated with the counts that are returned.

Does anyone know how to get the detail of 'license usage tracked in shared memory on the local system.'?

Thanks you for your time.

- Patrick

As part of our 10th anniversary celebration, we invite you to take part in a discussion reflecting on your experience with the InterSystems Developer Community.

Over the past decade, thousands of members have shaped this space through knowledge sharing, collaboration, and meaningful connections — and your voice is an integral part of that history.

We encourage you to join the conversation and share your story. In the comments, please tell us:

I need to read first six characters from the filename we process in healthconnect, then need to insert these six characters in MSH-6 in the same HL7 message. (please note each file can have multiple HL7 messages with multiple MSH segments)

Is something can be done when first process the file, then insert first characters MSH-6?

Please advice if this is an easy fix.

Hi Community,

Hello Community!

Working on interfaces, trying to add simple email alert (link below) under "Operations"

https://docs.intersystems.com/healthconnect20231/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI…

if the message is good,  health connect processes ok.

if the message has an ERROR, it held up the message in Queue (keep retrying), then subsequent messages held up in the queue as well to be processed. Because of the message held up in Queue, Operation for TCP connection also turning blue.

Please advice.

Hi community,

we recently updated our Health Connect instance from 2021.1 to 2024.1 and also migrated to new hardware. The production environment is connected to an enterprise message bank system.

After going live with the new system we recognized, that enterprise system nodes in the messagebank were automatically created using a hostname for the "Web IP Address" setting, which actually had changed (to the hostname of the former production environment) before starting the production and sending messages.

It was encouraging to see more people building VS Code extensions for the recent contest. However I noticed that of of the three extensions requiring credentials with which to make their connections only mine, gj :: dataLoader, leverages the long-established and officially-supported InterSystems Server Manager extension to obtain the connection definitions and to handle credentials securely.

Need to capture filename during BPL process, then set it to MSH-6 in the HL7 message.

Please advice, if this can be done.

Hi,

I need a simple function for formatting a string, like in Python or C#. That's easy:

Class Very.Very.Long.Class.Name
{
ClassMethod Format(fmt As %String, args...) As %String [ Language = python ]
{
return fmt.format(*args)
}
}

To simplify calls, I want to wrap the function into a macro:

ROUTINE StringUtil [Type=INC]

#define FMT(%fmt,%a0)                                           ##class(Very.Very.Long.Class.Name).Format(%fmt,%a0)
/// #define FMT(%fmt,%a0,%a1)                              ##class(Very.Very.Long.Class.Name).Format(%fmt,%a0,%a1)
/// #define FMT(%fmt,%a0,%a1,%a2)

We are happy to present the bonuses page for the applications submitted to the InterSystems "Bringing Ideas to Reality" Contest 2025!

Hi everyone. Long time no see. Again, I would like to share what I am studying recently Create Foreign Tables Using SQL via JDBC.

Since I am learning about the IRIS BI at the same time, so I started with this Sample-BI docker environment

https://github.com/intersystems/Samples-BI

After starting the environment, login to the management portal http://localhost:52773/csp/sys/UtilHome.csp  with the user Superuser.

Switch the namespace to IRISAPP.

😀 We will find out that all the sample data are stored in this namespace IRISAPP. Let's find a simple table for testing the Foreign Table feature 🤣

Introduction

As AI-driven automation becomes an essential part of modern information systems, integrating AI capabilities into existing platforms should be seamless and efficient. The IRIS Agent project showcases how generative AI can work effortlessly with InterSystems IRIS, leveraging its powerful interoperability framework—without the need to learn Python or build separate AI workflows from scratch.
This project explores how ChatGPT and Anthropic Claude, two of the most advanced AI models, can interact with IRIS using Custom GPTs and the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
