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"
},
{
"time":"2026-03-24T13:46:30.274Z",
"severity":"2",
"message":"Error: <PROTECT>KillAlive+1^%SYS.CDIRECT in SERVERS"
}
]
Any idea / help where those are comming from and how to address them?
Working in healthcare IT as a young developer, especially on InterSystems TrakCare, you quickly realize one thing: it’s not just about HL7 messages or backend integrations. A hugepart of making TrakCare work smoothly for hospitals comes down to how it’s configured, customized, and supported on the application side.
That’s where people like me come in—techno-functional developers who understand both the tech and how it impacts actual hospital workflows.
We’re Not Just Techies (or Functional Consultants)
Our role sits right in the middle.
Hello InterSystems Community,
I hope you're all doing well. I'm reaching out to ask if there's any way to enable a dark theme or dark mode for the HealthShare Management Portal.
Background
I have a visual impairment (amblyopia/lazy eye) which means I'm nearly blind in one eye. Like many people with visual difficulties, I find that bright white backgrounds and interfaces cause significant eye strain and fatigue. This makes it challenging to work with the Management Portal for extended periods.

Hi Communtiy,
I am a begineer who is working and trying to understand Intersystems. I am developing an Ensemble interface which receives a XML message and converts it into HL7 format without using enslib.HL7 classes.
Requirement
Here's a practical example of how to import data from a CSV file into InterSystems CACHÉ using ObjectScript
Assuming your CSV file is simple (e.g., comma-separated, with headers), you can use %Stream.FileCharacter to read it line by line and parse the data.
ClassMethod ImportCSV(filePath As %String) As %Status {
Set stream = ##class(%Stream.FileCharacter).%New()
Set sc = stream.LinkToFile(filePath)
If 'sc Quit sc
While 'stream.AtEnd {
Set line = stream.New
SetUp:
vIris instance created on Production Host i.e. Host1 on local mount point based on local disk.
vA single LVM is created out of 20 PVOLs and mapped to a mount point directory for IRIS database on both hosts.
vA single LVM is created out of 5 PVOLs and mapped to a mount point directory for WIJ on both hosts.
vA single LVM is created out of 5 PVOLs and mapped to a mount point directory for Journal on both hosts.
On Host-1
Created tables on the IRIS database on Host1.
vStart insert operation on the database.

Hello, I am working with @Alberto Fuentes https://openexchange.intersystems.com/package/workshop-iris-oauth2.
I wonder how do I get a token to send to the resserver?
I tried calling "token_endpoint" : "https://webserver/authserver/oauth2/token"
The response was "error":"invalid_request","error_description":"Unknown grant_type"
I wonder what needs to be in the request body? Is it a GET or POST?
It's been a while since the new UI for Productions and DTL was published as a preview and I would like to know your opinions about it.
WARNING: This is a personal opinion, totally personal and not related with InterSystems Corporation.
I'm going to start with the Interoperabilty screen:

We are trying to run the HS solution inside of a container, but we are getting the following errors un start up
03/17/26-10:19:05:108 (1386) 1 [Generic.Event] Cannot lock /usr/irissys/mgr/hslib/ err(13): will try accessing readonly

I understand that those databases should be mounted as read only don't needing the lock, any idea how to fix it? or where should I look to configure it correctly?
Thanks!

As you all probably know, Health Connect / IRIS for Health natively supports DICOM messaging, and many of you will have used it daily. Well, I recently discovered a rather insidious little issue that our beloved @Alberto Fuentes gave me the solution.
We (I) will call this phenomenon the Creosote effect (those of you who know Monty Python will understand the reference, for the rest you can see the sketch here )

I created a table profile dashboard on Power BI, but I wonder if is possible to do it in Iris by creating a class.
HealthShare Clinical Viewer 2022.2.2 Build: 1000 Adhoc: 23127 [HealthShare Modules: Core:24.0 + Clinical Viewer:24.0] - IRIS for UNIX (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 for x86-64) 2022.1 (Build 209_0_23127U) Mon Feb 12 2024 18:21:53 EST [Core:24.0|Clinical Viewer:24.0]
Are you familiar with SQL databases, but not familiar with IRIS? Then read on...
About a year ago I joined InterSystems, and that is how IRIS got on my radar. I've been using databases for over 40 years—much of that time for database vendors—and assumed IRIS would be largely the same as the other databases I knew.
This article will introduce you to the concept of virtual environments in Python, which are essential for managing dependencies and isolating project from the OS.
What is a Virtual Environment?
A virtual environment is a folder that contains :
- A specific version of Python
- At start an empty site-packages directory
Virtual environments will help you to isolate your project from the OS Python installation and from other projects.
How to use it?
Apache Superset is a modern data exploration and data visualization platform. Superset can replace or augment proprietary business intelligence tools for many teams. Superset integrates well with a variety of data sources.
And now it is possible to use with InterSystems IRIS as well.
An online demo is available and it uses IRIS Cloud SQL as a data source.

Apache Superset provides a bunch of examples, which were successfully loaded to IRIS without any issues, and displayed on example dashboards.

Hello to all the esteemed members of the InterSystems developer community in Spanish!
Although I often consult the developer community and have occasionally left a question here, this will be my first article, and what better occasion to do so than by participating in the 3rd technical article contest.
The topic I will cover in this article is the different tools that InterSystems IRIS provides us to optimize both the databases and the queries we run, as well as the new types of storage and data.
Good morning,
We would need help, thanks in advance for your help. 🙂
We have been trying to debug the following error, when sending a DICOM from a "EnsLib.DICOM.Operation.TCP" to a PACs:
| ERROR <EnsDICOM>NoCompatibleTransferSyntaxFound: No negotiated transfer syntax for SOP class '1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.4' is compatible with document transfer syntax '1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.70' |

We use the following AET titles at the Operation:
LocalAET: ESBSSCC-DCM
RemoteAET: HUNSCESBGWT

We have observed that we do have the transfer syntax "1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.4" with the document syntax "1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.
Anyone up for a round of golf?
Are you fed up of making a machine write code for you? Do you miss thinking through problems yourself? Then you are in luck, this round, I propose adding the rule of no AI use. obviously its a game of honor with no prize, so I shan't be enforcing this, but you'll know...
Challenge:
Create a function which takes a string as a parameter, and returns the length of thelongest sequence of alternating consonants and vowels. The sequence is broken by having two vowels or two consonants in a row.
Hi,
I'm pretty sure I'm not the first one to encounter this, so please share your solution
I'm trying to load a package with 2 dependencies, one of them has 5 dependencies..
is there a better tool / script / wizard for that?

The problem
How many times have we migrated an IRIS Instance to another machine, maybe even another version, and after a few days realized we forgot that one SSL Configuration critical for a Business Operations to work? Or maybe a credential, or a lonely class in a package by itself?
The solution
The simple solution is to make a checklist¹. A checklist of the entities we have to move. But simple checklists on Word documents are often forgotten, or just ignored.

Hi Community,
We're super excited to share that we launched another free, interactive tutorial designed to give you a little taste of InterSystems Data Studio.
🧑🏫 Introduction to InterSystems Data Studio 🧑💻
Introduction
The recent addition of FIFO groups allows First-In, First-Out (FIFO) message processing to be maintained in an interoperability production even when a Pool Size is greater than 1, enabling higher performance without sacrificing correctness. This feature first appears in InterSystems IRIS® data platform, InterSystems IRIS® for Health, and InterSystems Health Connect™ in version 2025.3.
First-In, First-Out message processing is critical in many integration scenarios, especially in healthcare. Traditionally, FIFO ordering is enforced by configuring each business host to process only one message at a time (Pool Size = 1). While effective, this approach can limit throughput and underutilize system resources. FIFO groups preserve FIFO ordering where needed without requiring a Pool Size of 1.
