I am working on a cache database query. Since the cache database doesn't support CTE I am using joins to calculate data. The issue is that aggregated data is only calculated for one where the condition for each row in the union. For eg. only the 'Prop decisioned' row is calculated others are always 0. There are many more case conditions.

Question Daniel Astudillo · 10 hr ago

Hello everyone,

As part of our recent initiative to modernize our observability stack, we have successfully transitioned our InterSystems IRIS logging framework to a structured JSON format. Now we need to dynamically enrich these logs with business-critical metadata specifically, theTenant ID.

We have this configmap to enable Json logs:

apiVersion: v1 
kind: ConfigMap
metadata: 
	name: iris-cpf-merge  
	namespace: {{ .Release.Namespace }}
data:  
	merge.cpf: |    
	[Logging]    
	ChildProcessLaunchCommand=/usr/irissys/bin/irislogd -f /tmp/messages.json    
	Format=JSON    
	Enabled=1

 I’m exploring deployment options for InterSystems IRIS in cloud environments such as AWS or Azure.

What deployment architectures, scaling strategies, or infrastructure best practices are commonly recommended by the community? I’d also appreciate guidance regarding high availability, backups, and monitoring in cloud-based deployments.

Question Steve Alex · 14 hr ago

IRIS is installed and running in an Ubuntu VM.

Visual Studio Code is being used in the host Windows OS and is connected to the IRIS server.

When attempting to execute commands with sudo from the InterSystems Lite Terminal in VSCode using $ZF(-100), error code 127 is returned.

I tried configuring Ubuntu to avoid password prompts by adding the following line to /etc/sudoers.tmp:

ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

However, the above configuration did not work.

Is there a way to execute sudo commands from InterSystems IRIS Production ObjectScript code in Ubuntu?

Good afternoon,

I have received a WSDL.

I have imported it successfully in HealthShare.

The external is requesting me to send messages with the following structure (using the auto-generated SOAP Bussiness Operation from the WSDL), as you see they need a custom http header titled "Appian-API-Key", as the following:

            curl --request POST \
              --url [ endpoint ] \
              --header 'Appian-API-Key:  << API KEY >> \
              --header 'Content-Type: application/xml' \
              --data '<?xml version='\''1.0'\'' encoding='\''utf-8'\''?>
            <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv='\''http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'\''>
              <soapenv:Body>
                <tns:acceptMessage xmlns:tns='\''http://ws.connectors.connect.mirth.com/'\''>
                <![CDATA[  Message  ]]>
                </tns:acceptMessage>

The rise of distributed systems and cloud-native architectures within large institutions has redefined hosting for InterSystems IRIS interoperability applications (productions). In modern environments, the standard layout involves at least two production instances operating on distinct nodes under a load-balancing configuration to handle requests.

The benefits are clear: you can now scale dynamically based on request volume, increasing the number of active productions during peak demand and going down when traffic subsides.

Currently, my Caché code triggers an email using Basic Authentication. Now Microsoft is going to stop Basic SMTP Authentication. In this case, what is the best approach to trigger an email alert from the database? It seems OAuth 2.0 is the best approach. Do anybody have any sample using Azure Entra ID?

Hello everyone.

After trying to run Python methods in the intersystemsdc/irishealth-community Docker container, which no longer allows any Python methods to be executed, I decided to abandon this version and start working with containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/iris-community.

In this environment, the Python methods work, which was a significant improvement.

I'm trying to import my libraries with pip install -r requirements.txt

Since we reached two important milestones for Go developers working with InterSystems IRIS:

Now it’s time to see everything working together.

To demonstrate how easily Go developers can adopt InterSystems IRIS, I took an existing production-grade open-source project — the RealWorld Example App — which showcases a full-stack Medium.com-style clone implemented with Go Fiber, GORM, and SQLite.

RealWorld Example App

With just a few configuration tweaks, I swapped out SQLite for gorm-iris, keeping everything else unchanged. The result?
A fully functional Go + Fiber application powered by InterSystems IRIS — no code rewrites, no ORM gymnastics, just a different database backend.

You can find the complete working demo here: github.com/caretdev/golang-fiber-iris-realworld-example-app

Introduction

In a previous article, I presented the IRIStool module, which seamlessly integrates the pandas Python library with the IRIS database. Now, I'm explaining how we can use IRIStool to leverage InterSystems IRIS as a foundation for intelligent, semantic search over healthcare data in FHIR format.

This article covers what I did to create the database for another of my projects, the FHIR Data Explorer. Both projects are candidates in the current InterSystems contest, so please vote for them if you find them useful.

You can find them at the Open Exchange:

In this article we'll cover:

  • Connecting to InterSystems IRIS database through Python
  • Creating a FHIR-ready database schema
  • Importing FHIR data with vector embeddings for semantic search

InterSystems IRIS globals are one of the platform's core strengths: they store hierarchical data in a direct, ordered, and efficient structure. But when working from Python, manipulating globals can sometimes feel closer to a low-level API than to the natural habits of the language.

The iris-global-reference project provides a Python layer on top of IRIS globals. Its goal is simple: make access to globals more readable, more idiomatic, and easier to integrate into modern Python code, without hiding the underlying hierarchical model.

Question Scott Roth · May 22

Over the years, we keep monitoring Orphan Messages, and I have begun to notice the number of ACK/NCK's that do not match the Scheme in which the message was sent so it can't not align or signify that the message was OK. For example, if we send an ADT^A08 HL7 message to the vendor, and they send back a A08 instead of an ACK as the message type.

Currently our default is to have Save Replies on EnsLib.HL7.Operation set to IndexNotOk's.

Headache-free stored objects: a simple example of working with InterSystems Caché objects in ObjectScript and Python

Neuschwanstein Castle

Tabular data storages based on what is formally known as the relational data model will be celebrating their 50th anniversary in June 2020. Here is an official document – that very famous article.  Many thanks for it to Doctor Edgar Frank Codd. By the way, the relational data model is on the list of the most important global innovations of the past 100 years published by Forbes.

On the other hand, oddly enough, Codd viewed relational databases and SQL as a distorted implementation of his theory.  For general guidance, he created 12 rules that any relational database management system must comply with (there are actually 13 rules). Honestly speaking, there is zero DBMS's on the market that observes at least Rule 0. Therefore, no one can call their DBMS 100% relational :) If you know any exceptions, please let me know.
