Hi, Community!
Need help setting up OAuth on the FHIR Server? We'll guide you through the workflow:
Since I started using Claude Code, my motivation to create things has skyrocketed.
Previously, even if I wanted to build something, actually doing the coding felt like a hassle, so unless there was a very strong need, I rarely went as far as programming. But now, if I just jot down the specifications, Claude Code handles the rest automatically, resulting in a dramatic improvement in productivity.
I come from a generation native to ObjectScript, so I used to feel some hesitation when it came to switching to Python.
The first quarter of the year was full of exciting activities in the InterSystems Developer Ecosystem. In case you missed something, we've prepared a selection of the hottest news and topics for you to catch up on!
Recently, I replaced my old laptop with a new one and had to migrate all my data. I was looking for a guide but couldn’t find anything that explained in detail how to migrate server connections from InterSystems Studio and Visual Studio Code from one PC to another. Simply reinstalling the tools is not enough, and migrating all the connections manually seemed like a waste of time. In the end, I managed to solve the problem, and this article explains how.
Migrating Studio connections was the most challenging part.
Hello,
can someone confirm to me if image for docker deployment of IRIS are ready for production? Also what about Healtshare products?
Thank you.
Is there a way to delete a message in a routing rule? For example, an HL7 message doesn't qualify for a rule, but instead of the message being passed on to the next rule, you delete the message.
Hello all,
I have a EnsLib.HTTP.GenericMessage inbound from a webhook with a GC stream.
My router is defined as the following:
Modern platforms usually treat observability as three core signals:
OpenTelemetry (OTel) is the standard way to produce and ship all three signals.

I am trying to built a Task that kicks off a Workflow to pull data into HSPD, and when I try to test the Task
I keep getting TestTask+3^OSU.Workday.TerminationsTask.1 *%Exception.StatusException ERROR <Ens>ErrConfigDisabled: Configuration item 'OSU.DataSource.Workday.TermService' is disabled
But within the Namespace the OSU.DataSource.Workday.TermService shows enabled.
Here is my Task that I am using...
Class OSU.Workday.TerminationsTask Extends %SYS.Hi all,
I'm trying to learn Intersystems Iris. And I have a question.
How can I use left arrow key with if function. Also if it is possible, teach me that how can I make backspace to edit data?
P.S Sorry for bad English.
w $char(27)_"[2J"_$char(27)_"[H"
s var="12345abcde"
s curPos=$length(var)+1
w $char(27)_"[3;1H"_"First var= "_var
for {
read *key
#; Left Arrow Key
if key="?" {
}
#; Right Arrow Key
elseif key="?" {
}
#; Backspace
elseif key=8 {
}
elseif key=9 {
quit
}
}
w !,"Last var= ",var
Kind Regards,

This time, it’s not really programming per se, but we are using React as a front-end development tool for IRIS. When using a web development framework—not limited to React—one key consideration is which CSS framework to use. Up until now, we’ve been using Bootstrap, which is the standard and the easiest to get started with.
However, while it’s easy to use, I felt that it offers limited flexibility for customization. That said, even if we were to switch to another CSS framework, learning it and rewriting everything from scratch would be a significant effort, so we left things as they were.
Is your source control treating your InterSystems IRIS environment like a simple collection of files? Most source control tools lack the native intelligence to handle InterSystems IRIS, which is why your code is treated as such.
Deltanji is different. It understands how code and other artifacts are stored within IRIS and can manage them directly. This eliminates the friction that other tools introduce to the process.
Join us for an InterSystems-hosted webinar to see how Deltanji provides an enterprise-grade source control solution that is tightly integrated with your IRIS environment.
The InterSystems Ready 2026 Conference is approaching fast — it's a great time to prepare and check your knowledge before attempting one of the Certification exams onsite .
InterSystems certifications aren't easy: you need to practice with questions aligned to the real exam objectives.
exam-prep.es is a free platform built for exactly that: practice, identify weak spots, and show up better prepared.
I have two RHEL 9.7 servers. One is running intersystems in docker no problem. But, I have now tried two other servers RHEL 9.7 one, podman and one docker and I get the following.
Hi Community!
We have another great initiative for you to sink your teeth into! Following last year's resounding success, we're hosting a new edition of the Demo Games. But with a twist: our North American Sales Engineers have submitted their best demo videos, but this time, you're the ones to take part and win a prize.
Please welcome the North American Demo Showcase! 🎉
I need to translate these labels on the Whole Record page view:
Anyone knows how to do it?
Thanks
We are working on Disk Consolidation and looking at Class/Globals that are rather large and not being cleaned up by the nightly Purge process. We have implemented DeleteHelper - A Class to Help with Deleting Referenced Persistent Classes | IDC on any Custom Data Classes, and Business Processes (BPL).
We have a bunch of Data Classes, BPL's, and Operations that connect to external MS SQL Server using JDBC to query or write data to using Stored Procedures and Queries. All that Query external tables are using EnsLib.SQL.Snapshot, and this is being written to ^Ens.AppData which is not cleaned up.
A Continuous Training (CT) pipeline formalises a Machine Learning (ML) model developed through data science experimentation, using the data available at a given point in time. It prepares the model for deployment while enabling autonomous updates as new data becomes available, along with robust performance monitoring, logging, and model registry capabilities for auditing purposes.
InterSystems IRIS already provides nearly all the components required to support such a pipeline. However, one key element is missing: a standardised tool for model registry.
Hi Community,
An error occurs during the analysis process in the FHIR SQL Builder. How can I identify the exact cause of the error?
Migrating from Oracle, MSSQL, or other purely relational database systems to a multimodel InterSystems IRIS is a strategic decision that requires careful planning and execution. While this transition offers significant benefits, including enhanced performance, scalability, and support for modern architectures, it also comes with challenges. In this article I will highlight some of the considerations connected to coding to ensure a successful migration. I will leave everything connected to an actual migration of structures and data outside the scope of this article.

First, when you're considering migrating to a different database system, you need to understand your business logic, whether it's on the side of the application (application server) or the database server. Basically, where do you have your SQL statements that you will need to potentially rewrite?
For software engineers and data architects evaluating data platforms for risk and compliance consolidation in financial services.
Financial institutions typically run separate applications for risk management and regulatory compliance, creating fragmented data landscapes that are difficult to query and expensive to maintain. InterSystems IRIS is a distributed HTAP data platform that allows organizations to consolidate these systems onto a single, unified data layer.

An issue has been identified in the HL7-to-SDA3 transformation logic that can cause an infinite loop when processing certain medication-related HL7 messages.
Hi All,
First I want give a Shout Out to @Theo Stolker and @Rupert.Young. Because they helped me with the solution.
When you're using the EnsLib.SQL.Snapshot as a Property in the Response Message to return Snapshot data (,e.g.: from Business Operation to Business Process,) the Snapshot data won't be cleaned with the Purge messages task/service.
{
Property SnapshotProp As EnsLib.SQL.Snapshot;
}
The data will be stuck in the global: ^Ens.AppData. You can find it with this query in System>Globals: ^Ens.AppData("EnsLib.SQL.
I'm using this service to create a FHIR facade.
I want to return OperationOutcome to the calling application when I detect an error.
My code at present is :
set quickStreamOut=##class(HS.SDA3.QuickStream).%New()
set operationOutcome = ##class(HS.FHIR.DTL.vR4.Model.Resource.OperationOutcome).%New()
s issue = ##class(HS.FHIR.DTL.vR4.Model.Element.OperationOutcome.issue).%New()
s issue.severity = "error"
s issue.code = "exception"
s issue.details = ##class(HS.FHIR.DTL.vR4.Model.Datatype.CodeableConcept).%New()
try {
s issue.details.text = exception.Hey Community,
