Hey Community,

We're happy to announce that there's a preliminary list of sessions available for you to peruse at your leisure while waiting for the Ready 2025!

Developing with InterSystems Objects and SQL – In Person June 9-13, 2025

• This 5-day course teaches programmers how to use the tools and techniques within the InterSystems® development environment.
• Students develop a database application using object-oriented design, building different types of IRIS classes.
  
  • They learn how to store and retrieve data using Objects or SQL, and decide which approach is best for different use cases.

Are you attending InterSystems READY 2025 (June 22–25), this year's global summit?

There have been some really good, helpful posts on this already:

Hi, Community!

Do you have HL7® V2 messages that you need to convert to the HL7® FHIR® format for better integration and analysis? See how the InterSystems FHIR Transformation Service can help:

I'm playing with %Net.DB.Iris and stumbled over a mystery

set##class%Net.DB.DataSource

Entering the above lines (in a terminal session) on my local instance yields the correct answer for:

host = "localhost"
host = the real IP of localhost (i.e. host="192.168...")
host = "10.x.y.dev" customers development system (over a VPN tunnel)

but for

host = "10.x.y.tst" (customers test system) I get an error:
 <THROW>zClassMethodValue+8^%Net.DB.Iris.1 *%Exception.StatusException ERROR #5001: Reentrant request

We are attempting to send HL7 messages over to CBOARD NetMenu over HTTP using SSL. We set this up using the EnsLib.HL7.Operation.HTTPOperation adapter. When we attempt to send the message we are receiving 

MSH|^~\&|||DIETOE|A6M0|202505131437||ACK^HTTP^415|00|P|2.1 MSA|AE|9165602|HTTP (N)ACK 'HTTP/1.1 415 Unsupported Media Type'

The vendor mentioned something about putting a SOAP/XML wrapper around the HL7 message but isn't that what the HTTPOperation adapter does? Why would we be getting Unsupported Media Type. How would we go about setting the Media Type for the HTTP HL7 message?

This article presents a potential solution for semantic code search in TrakCare using IRIS Vector Search.

Here's a brief overview of results from the TrakCare Semantic code search for the query: "Validation before database object save".

• Code Embedding model 

There are numerous embedding models designed for sentences and paragraphs, but they are not ideal for code specific embeddings.

Three code-specific embedding models were evaluated: voyage-code-2, CodeBERT, GraphCodeBERT

Hello everyone,

I am attempting to implement continuous integration using Docker with Caché 2018.1, and I am in the process of creating an image for our client. I have already installed Caché 2018.1 on the RedHat server, but I am working on a script to create the database and namespace. For the database, I used the following code:

do ##class(SYS.Database).CreateDatabase("/usr/cachepoc/cache2018/mgr/poc/")

However, I have encountered some issues with this code.

Hi Community!

Check out the new video on how to build the frontend UI by prompting it in lovable or (potentially) any spec first REST API in InterSystems IRIS:

Hello Community,

I executed the below query in the %ZLANGC00.mac routine. It returns results when using dynamic SQL, but not with embedded SQL(returns 0). 

 &SQL(SELECTcountTable

Thanks!

I have a table in the development and want to erase data from certain columns. There is info in the docs but not for human
This piece of code does not work

ALTER TABLE table DROP COLUMN column %DELDATA

Hello,

I have a problem with the deployment. When I deploy using the Ens.Deployment.Deploy class, I no longer receive the logs in the terminal. However, the deployment went well, I see it in the history on the portal.

It works on our environment, but not on the client's.

Set tSC = ##class(Ens.Deployment.Deploy).DeployCode(chemin_"GESL_SVCCLI_DEPLOY_CPT-243_V4_0.xml","SVCCLI.ProdClient",1,chemin_"GESL_SVCCLI_DEPLOY_CPT-243_V4_0_rb.xml","L",chemin_"GESL_SVCCLI_DEPLOY_CPT-243_V4_0.log",1,1)

Thank you 🙂

According to documentation, quotation: "$THIS contains the current class context.
The class context for an instance method is the current object reference (OREF).
The class context for a class method is the current classname as a string value."
 
As my example below shows, either the documentation or the implementation (or both) is wrong, I always call a class method (Value) and expected the class name as the return value but got either the class name or an OREF. Moreover, if I repeat the call, I get another values. But why?

I use the following code to protect some code for being called by multiple processes at same time :

lock^TEMP"FOO"

This works between processes but it does not prevent the same process entering critical section twice.

How to do that, is there any lock option ? I would like it to behave as the lock in C# or Java.

It's OK for me to use something else than LOCK instruction (eg : signals)

Hi Developers!

Hey Community,

We're pleased to invite all the developers to the upcoming kick-off webinar for the InterSystems FHIR and Digital Health Interoperability Contest!

Date & Time: Monday, May 12 – 9 am EDT | 3 pm CEST  

Introducing Smart Clinical Sidechick — the intelligent, no-drama partner your EHR wishes it could be. She reads FHIR data in real time, interprets lab results without ghosting, and explains clinical alerts like she actually cares. Built with GPT-4 brains and YAML sass, she’s not here to replace your main EHR—just to make it look bad. Tired of irrelevant alerts and cryptic warnings? Sidechick serves up real, explainable insights, not vague “elevated risk” vibes. And when your backend crashes, she doesn’t panic—she self-heals.

Hi Community,

I recently needed to interrogate some folders/sub-folders to retrieve filenames using cache object script(COS) and I implemented it in the following way.

ClassMethod ListDir(path = 

The code passes the output as an array (dirlist). Setting the recursive flag to "y" will loop through individual sub-folders and providing a value for wild-char will restrict the result to your desired extension. Pretty sure there's probably a better way to do this, but this worked for me and results are returned fairly quickly. I hope you find it useful.

There are a lot of great community articles regarding "vector search on IRIS", and samples in OpenExchange. Everytime I see these, I'm so excited to know that so many developers already try vectors on IRIS!

But if you've not tried "Vector Search on IRIS" yet, please give me one minute 😄 I create one IRIS class - and with only one IRIS class you can see how you put vector data in your IRIS database and how you compare these in your application.

If you are a customer of the new InterSystems IRIS® Cloud SQL and InterSystems IRIS® Cloud IntegratedML® cloud offerings and want access to the metrics of your deployments and send them to your own Observability platform, here is a quick and dirty way to get it done by sending the metrics to Google Cloud Platform Monitoring (formerly StackDriver).

I am running into an issue where a JSON response is missing keys...

{
    "count"0

Within the JSON response I am only looking for two fields portalUrl and portalId. I have tried using $LENGTH and %IsDefined to check if they are valued but neither work. 

Can anyone tell me how I can check to see if a key exists within a JSON response?

Hi Community,

Enjoy the new video on InterSystems Developers YouTube:

⏯ Data Fabric in Practice: Lessons Learned @ Global Summit 2024

Regardless of whether an instance of IRIS is in the cloud or not, high availability and disaster recovery are always important considerations. While IKO already allows for the use of NodeSelectors to enforce the scheduling of IRISCluster nodes across multiple zones, multi-region k8s clusters are generally not recommended or even supported in the major CSP's managed Kubernetes solutions. However, when discussing HA and DR for IRIS, we may want to have an async member in a completely separate region, or even in a different cloud provider altogether.

Hello Community,

When retrieving strings from the DAO, if the string exceeds the capacity of an ObjectScript string variable, it returns <MAXSTRING>. To prevent this, use dao.%Get(key, default, "stream") to retrieve the value as a stream (%Stream.DynamicBinary). However, Why can't we use other stream objects such as %Stream.TmpCharacter instead of %Stream.DynamicBinary/%Stream.DynamicCharacter (I understand It is not possible to create a direct object instance for %Stream.Dynamic* classes) .
