As part of a recent documentation technical project to optimize the search, I needed to use Embedded Python in my ObjectScript code. The main blocker was passing a Python list from a Python class method to a ObjectScript method. Sending the list by reference to the python method, populating it with the Insert() method, and returning the reference to the ObjectScript method resulted in an list with type %SYS.Python, a process that was straightforward but not efficient.

There is data, such as execution log data, that you do not want to return to its previous state even if a rollback occurs during a transaction. The above requirement can be met by placing that data in the IRISTEMP database, which will not be rolled back.

Temporary Globals and the IRISTEMP Database

IAM - InterSystems API Manager is a great tool for monitoring your traffic. If you are trying to use it in your Kubernetes cluster you may have tried doing a deployment similar to this one:

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?

Hi folks!

It is very easy to import CSV data into IRIS. But what if we want to preserve the original IDs in CSV?

Recently I came across with the situation when I needed to import two csv's into IRIS which were linked by one column referencing to another csv's col: a typical Foreign Key and Primary Key situation, where csv1 contains this column as Primary Key, and csv2 as Foreign key with id's related to csv1.

The image is generated by ChatGPT so don't blame it - it tried its best to generate countries as primary keys with countries.csv-cities.csv relationship :)

Hi Community,

Please welcome a new feature on Developer Community – the ability to add a link to the official InterSystems Documentation directly at the end of your post.

How it works

When publishing an article, paste the relevant URL from docs.intersystems.com into the InterSystems Documentation link field.

I have a need to create a specific Search Table outside of the EnsLib.HL7.SearchTable specifically for HL7 MFN messages in HealthShare Provider Directory.

Our Code is created in a different namespace then the main HSPD namespace and is mapped within the HSPD namespace mapping.

I created a copy of EnsLib.HL7.SearchTable, named OSU.HL7.SearchTable what all needs mapped to make this new search table available in HSPD namespace?

I'm trying to catch some WorkQueue errors that are happening on 2019 but not on more recent versions.

I'm getting an error when trying to call a class method via a workQueue. It functions properly in 2024.1. When calling the method, it immediately errors. I have logging at the top of the method that never gets set.

The error being returned by Iris is simply an "ERROR #5039: An error occurred while calling function s %sc=##class(|"NS"|Path.To.Class).ClassMethod(.%p1,.%p2)"

The parameter counts match and are appropriate for the method.

Trying to import a .csp with VS code appears to do nothing.

Making a change to the file, saving it and then doing "Import and compile" results in no output and there is no change to the file on the server.

Plugin version is 3.0.5

I’m pleased to announce the release of tree-sitter-objectscript, a new open-source tree-sitter grammar that brings first-class ObjectScript support to modern editors. If you caught the preview at READY ’25, you’ll be glad to know it’s now up on Github:

Interoperability on Python (IoP) is a proof-of-concept project designed to showcase the power of the InterSystems IRIS Interoperability Framework when combined with a Python-first approach.IoP leverages Embedded Python (a feature of InterSystems IRIS) to enable developers to write interoperability components in Python, which can seamlessly integrate with the robust IRIS platform. This guide has been crafted for beginners and provides a comprehensive introduction to IoP, its setup, and practical steps to create your first interoperability component. By the end of this article, you will get a clear understanding of how to use IoP to build scalable, Python-based interoperability solutions.

In this case, a robot is nothing like Gort from the movie “The Day the Earth Stood Still” or any other humanoid robot from science fiction. Nor is this Robot the one-armed automated welder from a real-world automotive assembly line. This Robot is a program that controls another program. You might want this for automated testing or to capture application logic from an application for which you don’t have the source, and the application’s author lacked the kindness or foresight to provide an API for its capabilities.

⏯️ Closing the Scientific Knowledge Gap with AI

For venture capitalists (VCs), evaluating research can be challenging. While researchers typically possess years of training and deep expertise in their field, the VCs tasked with assessing their work often lack domain-specific knowledge. This can lead to incomplete understanding of scientific data and an inability to direct organizational initiatives. To solve this problem, we have designed a solution that empowers VCs with AI-driven due diligence: ResearchExplorer. ResearchExplorer is powered by InterSystems IRIS and GPT-4o to help analyze private biomedical research alongside public sources like PubMed using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Users submit natural language queries, and the system returns structured insights, head-to-head research comparisons, and AI-generated summaries. This allows users to bridge expertise gaps while securely protecting proprietary data.
