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.

. . . 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="_emailaddress_$C(1)_"auth=Bearer "_token_$C(1,1)

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.

In case you're planning on deploying IRIS For Health, or any of our containerized products, via the IKO on OpenShift, I wanted to share some of the hurdles we had to overcome.

As with any IKO based installation, we first need to deploy the IKO itself. However we were getting this error:

Warning FailedCreate 75s (x16 over 3m59s) replicaset-controller Error creating: pods "intersystems-iris-operator-amd-f6757dcc-" is forbidden: unable to validate against any security context constraint:

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!

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.

The article was motivated by the 2025 September Article Bounty

The principle of Docker is just convincing to me.

  • Get a sandbox where you play and try whatever you want/need to do
  • Once done. You drop it without leaving traces in your working environment

This was the technical base for me to run about 700 reviews in OEX 
with almost no side effects  (except those caused by myself).

For beginners, I'll start with straight pure IRIS, no *health, *ML, *whatever

First, you need a Docker installation. It's available on almost any platform.

If one of your packages on OEX receives a review, you get notified by OEX only of YOUR own package.   
The rating reflects the experience of the reviewer with the status found at the time of review.   
It is kind of a snapshot and might have changed meanwhile.

I am regularly contacted by customers about memory sizing when they get alerts that free memory is below a threshold, or they observe that free memory has dropped suddenly. Is there a problem? Will their application stop working because it has run out of memory for running system and application processes? Nearly always, the answer is no, there is nothing to worry about. But that simple answer is usually not enough. What's going on?

Consider the chart below. It is showing the output of the free metric in vmstat

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.

We were testing upgrades on our internal systems recently, and were initially surprised to see a change in some instances of SQL behavior. On further investigation, the changes make a lot of sense, and are easy to adapt to. But, to hopefully save you some time and provide additional information in case this is something you too find curious or interesting, we thought we would share our understanding of the changes and how we got around it to preserve previous behavior where desired.

Starting in IRIS version 2024.2.

Senior engineering is defined not by the volume of code produced, but by the strategic avoidance of it. In complex integration environments, the tendency to utilize general-purpose libraries for every niche requirement introduces unnecessary overhead. True architectural maturity requires a commitment to "minimalist tooling"—prioritizing resilient, battle-tested system utilities over custom logic. This assessment examines our PGP encryption/decryption pipeline to demonstrate how shifting from application-level libraries to OS-native delegation enhances system durability.
