Hi everyone,

I’ve been diving into the new IRIS 2026.1 features this week, specifically trying out the opt-in modernized Interoperability UI and the new DTL Explainer, but I’ve recently hit a persistent technical snag where the Management Portal becomes incredibly sluggish and my Terminal sessions start to experience significant input latency.

I am currently using a community setup to handle some automated local logging and script-based data scrubbing for my production archives in the background while I work.

Below is an update to the IRIS release calendar for 2026 and an early look at the planned changes for 2027. The key takeaway for 2026 is that maintenance release numbering will differ slightly from prior years.

2026: IRIS 2026.1 maintenance release numbering

• July 2026: first maintenance release for IRIS 2026.1 (planned version: 2026.1.4)
• October 2026: next maintenance release (planned version: 2026.1.5)
• February 2027: following maintenance release (planned version: 2026.1.6)

This numbering change prepares us for the expanded maintenance cadence planned for 2027.

InterSystems has released IAM 3.10.0.9, which is a maintenance release of IAM 3.10 that includes significant fixes, including fixes for security vulnerabilities.

For those of you running older versions of IAM, we encourage you to start planning your upgrade. Customers upgrading from versions of IAM earlier than 3.10 must get a new IRIS license key to use IAM 3.10.  

IAM is an API gateway between your InterSystems IRIS servers and applications, providing tools to effectively monitor, control, and govern HTTP-based traffic at scale.

I am working on setting up OAUTH with FHIR and Microsoft Entra.  I have configured the Client and configured it in the FHIR Server successfully. However, I get 401 when authenticating with a token.   Looking at ^ISCLOG I see:
^ISCLOG("Data",9,0)="accessToken=<jwt token>, scope=, aud="
^ISCLOG("Data",10)=$lb(3,"OAuth2","[OAuth2.ServerDefinition:ValidateJWT]","171430","%SYS","2026-04-28 17:41:25.305549397","OAuth2.ServerDefinition.1","","zwKKakZZZx2")
^ISCLOG("Data",10,0)="JWT valid? sc=1"
^ISCLOG("Data",11)=$lb(3,"HSFHIRServer","[HS.FHIRServer.

Hello,

can someone confirm to me if image for docker deployment of IRIS are ready for production? Also what about Healtshare products?

Thank you.

. . . you are not alone. 

Help is available.

This took me a while to figure out, and I assume there may be others struggling too. I made my way through all the Entra stuff to set up a client credentials workflow to send email through a Microsoft 365 account. I was able to successfully retrieve my token, but I couldn't ever get it to authenticate with the SMTP server using the %Net.SMTP class. There were two parts to fixing this.

First, the authenticator's access token needs to be more than JUST the access token. It has to be formatted as:

set smtp.authenticator.AccessToken = "user="_email_address_$C(1)_"auth=Bearer "_token_$C(1,1)

READY is right around the corner, and this year the Application Services team from InterSystems will be hosting a Embedded Git Users GroupMeeting during the conference!This will be held Thursday, April 30^th during breakfast from 7:30 – 8:30 (breakfast will be served at the meeting room starting at 7:00am).

READY is right around the corner, and this year the Application Services team from InterSystems will be hosting a IPM Users GroupMeeting during the conference!This will be held Wednesday, April 29^th during lunch from 12:30 – 1:30 (lunch will be served at the meeting room).

READY is right around the corner, and this year the Application Services team from InterSystems will be hosting a CCR Users GroupMeeting during the conference!This will be held Wednesday, April 29^th during breakfast from 7:30 – 8:30 (breakfast will be served at the meeting room starting at 7:00am).

We are very excited to launch a new AI powered CCR feature which should help our users save time and prevent calls to Support.  Today we are introducing the new CCR Transport Log Analyst (or CTLA) AI-Generated summary.  The goal of CTLA is to provide an analysis of errors that have occurred in the Transport Log for a specific CCR, and advise the user as to what steps could be taken to correct the situation, as well as what might have been done to prevent it in the first place. When there is an issue with integrating or deploying a CCR, all of the details are captured in the Transport Log.

Hey Community, 

Yeah, I know we have a lot of tips & tricks articles - we even have a special tag for it, right? But I can not share my own collection. In this collection, you can find snippets for beginners, as well as some everyday ObjectScript constructions. In fact, it's also a way to learn something new about my favorite programming language. So, if you guys have anything to add, you are welcome!

Hi!
We are deploying the iris image in a Kubernetes environment and the cluster state is "Hung" , looking the alerts endpoint we get 2 alerts:

[
  {
     "time":"2026-03-24T13:45:44.548Z",
     "severity":"2",
     "message":"System appears to have failed over from node a69a9f137593"
  },

     "severity":"2",
     "message":"Error: <PROTECT>KillAlive+1^%SYS.CDIRECT in SERVERS"
  }
]
Any idea / help where those are comming from and how to address them?

A very important feature for HL7 FHIR has been introduced with the release of v2026.1 - the support for SMART on FHIR v2 fine-grained granular Scopes.

This enables you to be much stricter and more accurate in the access you provide to the data in your FHIR repository.

Part of this new support is to refuse requests that don't match the scopes, but an even more interesting ability is to filter the results according to the provided scopes.

Is there any dedicated place on the InterSystems site to complain about "Ask DC AI" lack of rather simple knowledge? I'd say, as a bare minimum it should be trained on ALL InterSystems usually excellent documentation and know how to quote from it. A couple of recent examples, all of them "beyond my knowledge", which really should not be "beyond my knowledge". Common language rephrasing did help with a couple of requests below, but AI should be able to rephrase itself.
