Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a practical project guide to help me gain hands-on experience with InterSystems Ensemble HL7. Ideally, this guide would walk through building a small project — something that covers key concepts like message routing, transformations, and interoperability.

Hi ,

I have a scheduler task and an associated class that works.

Class Sample.Util.CreateTask Extends (%SYS.Task.Definition, %Persistent)
{

Parameter PROPERTYVALIDATION = 1;

Parameter TaskName = "Sample.Util.CreateTask";

Method OnTask() As %Status
{
// Perform the logic
}

}

Is there a way to Enable or Disable the above task "CreateTask()" from an external function/Method/class ?

At hackathons that InterSystems participated and I supported, many students were asking how all their teammates could use the same IRIS database that they spun up in a container. I suggested using ngrok to expose their localhost IRIS and realized we don't have documentation on that. Hence, I thought this would be great to let more people knwo about this powerful technique for enhancing collaboration during development and testing.

My intention is to show how simple it is to generate a lookup table taking into account the information received in our HL7 messaging. The HL7 message lookup table provided by IRIS is certainly sufficient for most of the searches we want to perform, but we always have that special field in our HIS, LIS, RIS, etc. that we'd like to search by. But that's in a segment outside of that lookup table. That field forces us to generate a specific search using the expanded search criteria.

Environment:
Targeted *.inc file (with hundreds of defined macros) is in use throughout the application and included into every class declaration.
Statement "set a = $$$TestIf(3)" is included into a classmethod with no other code in. Expected output 5
Same macro options in *.inc:
#define TestIf(%arr) if %arr>0 QUIT 5
#define TestIf(%arr) if (%arr>0) {QUIT 5}
Issue:
failure to compile class with the same error on all tried definition options as:

Supply Chain Orchestration for dummies

Supply Chain refers to a set of processes and activities performed by the company's business areas and its suppliers and partners (stakeholders), from the acquisition of raw materials, through production, to delivery to the end consumer. It can be better managed using SCM solutions with the orchestration of the InterSystems IRIS:

Hi:

I see a lot of cool REST apps and i'm trying to host something in the TIE using REST/Axios with VITE.

At the moment i will probably host the application in web applications in Intersytems.

For authorisation and getting the logged in user and password to any app, is there a standard people are doing?

I.e. for axios you might have this from the app

Hi Community,

While writing an article yesterday, I realized I was so busy with people who came to the Developer Community table at the Tech Exchange that I forgot to take photos for you. Luckily, I realized the error of my ways and corrected my behavior accordingly 😉

So, let's look at what happened on Tuesday at the InterSystems Ready 2025! It began with a speech of Scott Gnau about the approach and architecture of InterSystems Data Platform and how it is different from all other DBMSs:

Introduction

Businesses often use in-memory databases or key-value stores (caching layers) when applications require extremely high performance. However, in-memory databases incur a high total cost of ownership and have hard scalability limits, incurring reliability problems and restart delays when memory limits are exceeded. In-memory key-value stores share these limitations and introduce architectural complexity and network latency as well.

This article explains why InterSystems IRIS™ data platform is a superior alternative to in-memory databases and key-value stores for highperformance SQL and NoSQL applications.

Taking Performance and Efficiency to the Next Level

InterSystems IRIS is the only persistent database that can match or beat the performance of in-memory databases and caching layers for concurrent data ingestion and analytics processing. It can process incoming transactions, persist the data to disk, and index it for analytics in under one microsecond on commercially available hardware without introducing network latency.

The superior ingest performance of InterSystems IRIS results in part from its multi-dimensional data engine, which allows efficient and compact storage in a rich data structure. Using an efficient, multi-dimensional data model with sparse storage techniques instead of two-dimensional tables, random data access and updates are accomplished with very high performance, fewer resources and less disk capacity. It also provides in-memory, in-process APIs in addition to traditional TCP/IP access APIs to optimize ingest performance.

artisan cover

If you’ve ever watched a true artisan—whether a potter turning mud into a masterpiece or a luthier bringing raw wood to life as a marvelous guitar—you know that magic isn’t in the materials, but in care, craft, and process. I know this firsthand: my handmade electric guitar is a daily inspiration, but I’ll admit—creating something like that is a talent I don’t have.

#InterSystems Demo Games entry

⏯️ The Ultimate 3D Industrial Simulation powered by a Game Engine with InterSystems IRIS

In this demo, InterSystems IRIS Interoperability comes alive in an amazing, game-like user experience based on our Ultimate Control Tower demo. We visualize machines in a virtual 3D factory building, interacting with InterSystems IRIS in real time—displaying current statuses and sensor data, simulating machine outages and predictive maintenance scenarios, and triggering workflow tasks and actions in InterSystems IRIS. By using a mobile app on a tablet—and even a VR headset for a fully immersive experience—we unleash the power of InterSystems IRIS.

Digital health solution providers face increasing pressure to integrate complex health data systems while ensuring scalability, security, and compliance with standards like HL7 FHIR. Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) has revolutionized health data exchange by offering a standardized framework that allows diverse health IT systems to communicate effortlessly. But simply adhering to FHIR standards isn’t enough to overcome the intricacies of health data integration. Solution partners must leverage advanced architectural components like FHIR brokers, façades, and repositories to build scalable and efficient solutions. InterSystems offers all the essential features you need to implement FHIR for your health data, whether on-premises, in a public cloud, or as a cloud-based service managed by InterSystems.
