I need a %SYS.Python object that will be accessible from different processes. The goal is to avoid reinitializing the Python object whenever it is called. Ways that I checked and decided that it is NOT what I want:
Next, my ideas (none of them look like a silver bullet):
Hello, community.
I've been working with Intersystem Caché for two years, and right away I was excited about the rich ecosystem that Caché provides. However, I was disappointed with calls using #call, and I understand that it was a limitation of the time. Well, the frustration is that #call returns null by default, meaning an AJAX request is executed, but there's no hook to retrieve the return from that request. The only way to retrieve the data from that request is by building a callback on the server side using &js<>.
Hi Guys,
I've this Business operation pointing to my DSN as below
where its calling the this method, but for some reason its not recognizing Ens.Util.LookupTable class
A microservice is an architectural style that structures an application as a collection of small, autonomous services. Each component is developed around a specific business capability, can be deployed independently, and is typically managed by a miniature, specialized, self-governing team. (Source: https://microservices.io/)
During my work with customers and also following I often met the
explicit or embedded question: What is this "GLOBALS" ?
I'll try to explain the history to unfold the context.
Has anyone done this successfully? Customer wants to receive HL7 data over https using OAUTH 2.0 client credentials. I am assuming a custom Operation will be needed? I tried using CoPilot for assistance but was unsuccessful. I am not great with Object script :(
Hi Team,
We are currently running InterSystems Caché 2018 on an IBM AIX server and would like to configure the Cache instance to start automatically when the server boots or is rebooted.
Could you please provide the recommended steps or any official scripts/guidelines to enable auto-start for the Cache instance (QA2018) on AIX?
Additionally, if there are any best practices or prerequisites (such as filesystem mount options, service dependencies, or startup order) that we should consider, please share those as well.
Thanks,
Ganesh

I'm a huge sci-fi fan, but while I'm fully onboard the Star Wars train (apologies to my fellow Trekkies!), but I've always appreciated the classic episodes of Star Trek from my childhood. The diverse crew of the USS Enterprise, each masterminding their unique roles, is a perfect metaphor for understanding AI agents and their power in projects like Facilis. So, let's embark on an intergalactic mission, leveraging AI as our ship's crew and boldly go where no man has gone before
Customer support questions span structured data (orders, products 🗃️), unstructured knowledge (docs/FAQs 📚), and live systems (shipping updates 🚚). In this post we’ll ship a compact AI agent that handles all three—using:
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, Community!
Here's another way AI can speed up your processes—take a look! 👇
Generating Transformation Descriptions with the DTL Explainer
Is there a way to omit or skip rollback of some data changes during a transaction rollback? Maybe some sort of "autonomous transaction"?
The issue is with error logging in transaction. For example we may have in nested calls the following structure:
TS
<some code>
<error happens>
TRO 1
<error log to database>
but if this code is in another transaction, and that rolls back we lose error data.
Is there a way to do something like
TS
<some code>
<error happens>
TRO 1
<autonomous transaction start\flag>
<error log to database>
so error log will be stored anyway?

InterSystems IRIS Adaptive Analytics is an optional extension that provides a business-oriented, virtual data model layer between InterSystems IRIS and popular Business Intelligence (BI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) client tools. Adaptive Analytics is powered by AtScale, the AtScale documentation can be found at this link: https://documentation.intersystems.atscale.com

One of the newest features of .Net core 10 with C# 14 is the file-based apps. This feature allows you to execute C# code in a simple .cs file without the need to create a solution, a project, or any of the related structure.
For example you can create a script.cs file using the notepad with the content:
Console.WriteLine(“This is a script in c#.”);Then in the command line or the terminal you execute the command:
dotnet run script.csThere is plenty of information about this new feature of .net 10.
We didn't start with a big AI strategy.
We had a legacy InterSystems Caché 2018 application, a lot of old business logic, and a practical need: build a new UI and improve code that had been running for years. At first, I thought an AI coding agent would help only with a small part of the work. Maybe some boilerplate, some REST work around the system, and a bit of help reading old ObjectScript.
In practice, it became much more than that.
Hello community,
The Certification Team of InterSystems Learning Services is excited to announce the release of our new InterSystems EMPI Technical Specialist exam. This release is a fully refreshed and updated version of our previous HealthShare Patient Index Technical Specialist exam.
It is now available for purchase and scheduling in InterSystems exam catalog. Potential candidates can review the exam topics and the practice questions to help orient them to exam question approaches and content.
Before finding the best solution for Supply Chain, we need to understand what Supply Chain is. Well, regardless of the language used, the term is known by the name already mentioned. For your information, the translation in Brazilian Portuguese is "Cadeia de Suprimentos" (Supply Chain), sometimes also called "Cadeia Logística" (Logistics Chain), but we will not dwell on the nomenclature, but rather on the meaning.
Hi, every one. Again, it's me!!😀😀
Recently I was trying to organize some learning materials for InterSystems IRIS😆, and realized that the resources are actually quite scattered.🤐
So I put together a list here—grouped by categories—for anyone who:
Also adding some of my own experience on what worked (and what didn’t, may be only not work for me🤫🤐).
If you don’t know where to begin, start here:
While starting with Intersystems IRIS or Cache, developers often encounter three core concepts: Dynamic Objects, Globals & Relational Table. Each has its role in building scalable and maintainable solutions. In this article, we'll walk through practical code examples, highlight best practices, and show how these concepts tie together.
1. Working with Dynamic Objects:
Dynamic objects (%DynamicObject and %DynamicArray) allow developers to manipulate JSON-like structures directly in Objectscript. They are especially useful for modern applications that need to parse, transform or generate JSON.
Over the past year there have been a few DC articles offering MCP servers designed to connect to IRIS and help the AI features of VS Code and its cousins do a better job. For example:
