Hello DC community, 

InterSystems Certification is currently developing a certification exam for ObjectScript developers, and if you match the exam candidate description below, we would like you to beta test the exam! The exam will be available for beta testing starting February 18th, 2026. 

Beta testing will be completed May 4, 2026.

What are my responsibilities as a beta tester?

As a beta tester, we ask that you schedule and take the exam by May 4, 2026. The exam will be administered in an online proctored environment free of charge (the standard fee of $150 per exam is waived for all beta

We are attempting to "Repoint" old class data to new class data to save disk space and data redundancy across multiple tables. This works to a point.  In essence the two classes are sharing the same data / Index / stream globals.  But if an ID in the Old_Class is opened, a property is modified, and saved the property that is in the New_Class (but not in the Old_Class) is NULLed / blanked.

Simplified explanation of data and what’s occurring.

Intersystems IRIS Productions provide a powerful framework for connecting disparate systems across various protocols and message formats in a reliable, observable, and scalable manner. intersystems_pyprod, short for InterSystems Python Productions, is a Python library that enables developers to build these interoperability components entirely in Python.Designed for flexibility, it supports a hybrid approach: you can seamlessly mix new Python-based components with existing ObjectScript-based ones, leveraging your established IRIS infrastructure.

Welcome to the finale of our journey in building MAIS.

• In Part 1, we constructed the agnostic "Brain" using LiteLLM and IRIS.
• In Part 2, we designed the "Persona", mastering Dynamic Prompt Engineering and the ReAct theory.

Now, the stage is set. Our agents are ready, defined, and eager to work. However, they remain frozen in time. They require a mechanism to drive the conversation, execute their requested tools, and pass the baton to one another.

Today, we will assemble the Nervous System. We are going to implement the Orchestrator using InterSystems BPL, creating a living, breathing loop that

Hi,

I'm having a problem with %JSON.Adaptor and "list of" binding.

For exemple, this class with a property "oazisCode As list of %String".

Class User.ADGroup Extends (%Persistent, %JSON.Adaptor)

{
/// Code interne
Property code As %String;

/// Libellé
Property text As %String(MAXLEN = "");

Property oazisCode As list Of %String;

}

The first time call to %JSONImport works properly

s r = ##class(User.ADGroup).%New()
s json = {"code": "123", "text":"456", "oazisCode": ["1","2"]}
d r.%JSONImport(json)
w r.oazisCode.Size
2

If I call %JSONIMport a second time with another json , the

I was having trouble with some dimension based calculated members defined in Analyzer.  They would work and then not work.   At one point I had two identical calculated measures, same code, same specification and one would work and one would not.  I was trying to set them up in "shared storage", that checkbox in the calculated member dialog that should allow the measures to be used across multiple pivots. 

My hypothesis to the inconsistent behavior of the calculated members was that their definitions were somehow being mangled behind the scenes when the Analyzer logged the "shared code" to

Hi communauty

I've two columns in my table and the type must be interval of integer values for example : age must be interval between [2 and 6] years and wigth between [10 and 30 ] Kg , how can i define them when creating my table?

thank's

Hi all,

I've created a method to calculate the age of a person, or the age of a process, contract or other stuff as you want.

/// Calculate the age from date of birth and other date (by default shoud be today)./// <b>dateOfBird</b> Date of birth in cache format.ie./// <b>day</b> Date to calculate to.

Hello All,

No matter what I try in Business Process Logic (BPL), I am unable to calculate the patient's age in days or years.

Has anyone ever built logic in a Business Process (BPL) to calculate a person's age in days?

Thank you!

Why do these clauses affect SQL performance?

select ID from some_table where row_status in ('I','U') order by ID limit 5 - makes the query infinite select top 10 ID from some_table where row_status in ('I','U') order by ID - the same select ID from some_table where row_status in ('I','U') order by ID - is fast

Actually there are no rows in the table having row_status 'I' or 'U'.

I asked Gemini and it recommended me rewrite the query as

select ID from table where row_status in ('I','U') order by ID || '' limit 5,

and this helped, but I have never encountered a similar problem with any other

I want to implement isc-rest in my new project iris-budget/module.xml at master · oliverwilms/iris-budget

I get this error:

#8 11.30 Building dependency graph...

In this article, I aim to demonstrate a couple of methods for easily adding validation to REST APIs on InterSystems IRIS Data Platform. I believe a specification-first approach is an excellent idea for API development. IRIS already has features for generating an implementation stub from a specification and publishing that specification for external developers (use it with iris-web-swagger-ui for the best results). The remaining important thing not yet implemented in the platform is the request validator. Let's fix it!

Recent versions of IRIS come with Lite Terminal available from VSCode. It's a websocket server, with JSON messaging. Here's how to connect to it from Python:

import websocket
import argparse
import requests
import json


defterminal(host, port, namespace, username, password, command, secure):
    session = requests.Session()
    r = session.get(f"http{"s"if secure else""}://{host}:{port}/api/atelier/", auth=(username, password))
    cookies = session.cookies.get_dict()
    ws = websocket.WebSocket()
    ws.connect(f"ws{"s"if secure else""}://{host}:{port}/api/atelier/v8/%25SYS/t

We use the Caché JDBC Gateway to Oracle and SQL servers to directly invoke their stored procedures from Ensemble. Getting quick, inline data results back are typically handled within the Functions.Library class as a function to wrap the query and format the return appropriately.

But what about more elaborate stored procedures made for posting data without log-jamming a Router?  The operations to construct those data pipelines can get tedious, especially when changes are needed.  What follows is a code generator to make a new Ensemble Message class from a SQL Stored Procedure that is compatible

Hey everyone,

I'm just seeking some guidance and confirmation on what I'm doing for my production health monitoring.

We utilize Grafana to have reporting/monitoring dashboards and I have made a REST API to query the health of our productions. I believe I have everything figured out except for one thing that I'm uncertain about and that is the Production Item Color indicators:

Is there an easy way of being able to figure out the status of an item with the legend above?Ideally, I'd like to have this data in my JSON response.

Hi developers!

In a method I need to return a result as a dynamic object aka JSON Object. And here is my logic:

Classmethod Planets() as%DynamicObject {

 set val1="Jupiter"
 set val2="Mars"// this doesn't work! cannot compile
 return {"value1":val1, "value2":val2}

}

So I need to do the following:

Classmethod Planets() as%DynamicObject {

 set val1="Jupiter"
 set val2="Mars"
 set result={}

 set result.value1=val1

 set result.value2=val2

 return result

}

The second case works.Maybe I'm preparing the Dynamic Object in the wrong way?Can we just use variables inside JSON?

Hey everyone.

I have a web service which is receiving XML as a stream, and I'm intending to then correlate the stream into an object. Unfortunately I am hitting a road block where the sender places a large chunk of the XML within a cdata block which is then causing the correlate of %XML.Reader to not work.

The structure of my xml is along the lines of:

<abc><def>010203</def><ghi>040506</ghi><jkl><mno><pqr>070809</pqr><stu>101112</stu></mno></jkl></abc>

Hello everyone. I'm currently working on how to implement a solution that makes it possible to include within the response of a BusinessOperation the "RetryCount" for each message.
For Example, we have this message that was retried twice:

This is an HL7.message going through a specific business operation, we did not create a custom one: we used the default implementation EnsLib.HL7.Operation.TCPOperation. This operation should automatically handle retries (infinetely waiting on a response). I found out each Business Operation has this property :

Can we retrieve this information AFTER the message
