Vanna.AI - Personalized AI InterSystems OMOP Agent

Along this OMOP Journey, from the OHDSI book to Achilles, you can begin to understand the power of the OMOP Common Data Model when you see the mix of well written R and SQL deriving results for large scale analytics that are shareable across organizations. I however do not have a third normal form brain and about a month ago on the Journey we employed Databricks Genie to generate sql for us utilizing InterSystems OMOP and Python interoperability.

Building a Sensor Data Demo with Spring Boot and InterSystems IRIS

In the era of IoT and connected devices, sensor data is everywhere—tracking temperature in logistics, monitoring equipment performance, or recording environmental conditions. But capturing, storing, and analyzing this data in real time requires more than just hardware sensors.

It’s a practical example that combines Spring Boot, InterSystems IRIS, and a simple sensor simulation script to show how sensor data can flow from generation to storage and alerting.
Basically, the idea of ​​this project is to show all the integration

Finishing my previous example for multiple IRIS instances, I tried
to compose a local single instance version.  The step from the external
Python app to a version using embedded Python seemed to be obvious.
This was a wrong assumption, as some Python libraries just refused installation
into my local Windows-based environment.

In Studio, is it possible to call a dialog with a single input text field inside a custom Studio.Extension.Base.CheckIn method?

Update: The AI Bot just answered, not sure why it was at loss before I posted.

Hi all,
I needed to pick up the username from a set of credentials configured for a business operation in an interop production, and it turned out to take a few steps, so I'm sharing my method here, in the dual hope that someone has an easier way to do it, or failing that, that it is useful to someone.

InterSystems FAQ rubric

One way to optimize query performance is to use query parallelism on a per-query or system-wide basis (a standard feature).

This is a technique for dividing the execution of a particular query among processors on a multi-processor system. The query optimizer will execute parallel processing only if there is a possibility of benefiting from parallel processing. Parallel processing is only applicable to SELECT statements.

Note that the number of parallel processes cannot be specified, as it is automatically adjusted according to the number of CPUs.

Our vendor is developing an interface API on their end to capture HL7 data on a Server Port, and they require us to send a pre-defined HL7 Order message for testing every hour until the API is completely operational.

Is it possible to accomplish that in a Business Operation automatically without utilizing a service or process? The BO is a standard TCP/IP connection.

I'm manually sending the message again from the Operations right now. I do not have access to the System Operation to use the Task Manager feature.

Hi,

My understanding that in IRIS  we create an Inbound Adapter that would act like a Broker (connecting to server X) then have an MQTT outbound adapter to receive those messages?

Is there a quick sample that we could user to show how to setup these two Adapters, I started with this but I couldn’t for example find EnsLib.MQTT.Adapter.Inbound

and I guess here where I can set Server X IP & port

Not familiar with MQTT, I appreciate if you could take through how to setup a MQTT inbound & outbound adaptes ?

Thanks

I am working on a tool that configures an instance to use a common default routine database across all custom Namespaces. For instances that already have distinct default routine databases for their Namespaces, this would involve a step of merging over all code from the current default routine databases to the new "super" routine database. This should be done in such a way that only merges contents in the default routine database (not mapped databases) and is able to detect/exclude contents that already exist in the target database.

Are there any supported tools/APIs for merging routine

Securing IRIS Integrations with Mutual TLS (mTLS): A Practical Guide

In today’s enterprise environments, secure communication between systems is not optional—it’s essential. Whether you're integrating InterSystems IRIS with cloud APIs, internal microservices, or third-party platforms, Mutual TLS (mTLS) offers a powerful way to ensure both ends of the connection are authenticated and encrypted.

This post walks through how to configure IRIS for mTLS and how to validate your certificates to avoid common pitfalls.

Following on from JediSoft’s announcement of the general availability of JediSoft IRISsync®, I wanted to show how it can help prevent configuration drift and ensure your failover is always ready. 

When managing InterSystems IRIS production servers, even a minor configuration change can cause significant issues if it’s not replicated in your mirror environments. Often, these differences go unnoticed until your failover environment breaks.

This common, but critical, problem can lead to unexpected downtime at a vital moment and impact your business continuity.

IRISsync eliminates that risk by

Hello to all my fellow Cache Developers/Experts out there :)

Here is the background of how the LIS does the locking and details about the issue:
