Hi Everyone,

So after @Ariel Glikman posted a custom operation example, I'm stuck on another dilemma, and here it is:

Hello community.

I have a request from a client who wants to do the following.
Currently, they have a data upload process via FTP in which they have implemented a RecordMap to store the information of the CSV files that are uploaded to the FTP directory.
Now they want to have another directory so that it is ONLY executed through an external instruction, not when the file is uploaded to the directory.

Hi

I'm a newbie in productions and I've received the below business operation from a client that I need to include in a production,

So not sure if I'm supposed to create a new Business operation with a new name and select the class as below but then what's next and what should be the output type in X12 tab or if it should be type SCOSwarm.Message.SX3ScheduleResponse?

Or should I be ignoring this class for now, create a new business operation called SCOSwarm.Operation.SX3ScheduleOp copy the code across ...etc but how can I include EnsLib.NullAdapter ?  

Thanks

Hi Community,

We’ve got something exciting for you — it’s time for a new demo video contest, and this time, you’re in the judge’s seat!

📺 Demo Games for InterSystems Sales Engineers 📺

For this contest, InterSystems Sales Engineers from around the world submitted short demo videos showcasing unique use cases, smart solutions, and powerful capabilities of InterSystems technologies.

Now it’s your turn! We’re opening up voting to the entire Developer Community. Your insight and perspective as developers make you the perfect experts.

Given the code below, I need help with getting the collected column widths from the Demo.Configuration table and stored in the columnWidths zne page property. As I understand it, I should be able to retrieve it using zenPage.columnWidths in the setColumnWidths or dgRender clientMethods but the alert is showing that it cannot be retrieved as it shows a value of Null. Once I can retrieve those values, then I want to set the widths of the colmns of the dynaGrid according to the values in the ^Demo.Configuration table. The data pulled in from the CSV file that creates ^Demo.Import can have a

Hey folks! Having recently onboarded to InterSystems, I realized that despite having a totally free and awesome Community Edition, it's not super clear how to get it. I decided to write up a guide highlighting all the different ways you can access the Community Edition of InterSystems IRIS:

Get InterSystems IRIS Community Edition as a Container

Working with a containerized instance of the Community Edition is the recommended approach for folks who are new to developing on InterSystems IRIS, and in my opinion it's the most straightforward. InterSystems IRIS Community Edition can be found on DockerHub; if you have an InterSystems SSO account, you can also find it in the InterSystems Container Registry.

In either case, you'll want to pull the image you want using the docker CLI:

docker pull intersystems/iris-community:latest-em
// or
docker pull containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/iris-community:latest-em

Next, you'll need to start the container: In order to interact with IRIS from outside the container (for example, to use the management portal) you'll need to publish some ports. The following command will run the IRIS Community Edition container with the superserver and web server ports published; note that you can't have anything else running that depends on ports 1972 or 52773!

docker run --name iris -d --publish 1972:1972 --publish 52773:52773 intersystems/iris-community:latest-em

FHIR Server

A FHIR Server is a software application that implements the FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) standard, enabling healthcare systems to store, access, exchange, and manage healthcare data in a standardized manner.

Intersystems IRIS can store and retrieve the following FHIR resources:

• Resource Repository – IRIS Native FHIR server can effortlessly store the FHIR bundles/resources directly in the FHIR repository.
• FHIR Facade - the FHIR facade layer is a software architecture pattern used to expose a FHIR-compliant API on top of an existing one (often non-FHIR). It also streamlines the healthcare data system, including an electronic health record (EHR), legacy database, or HL7 v2 message store, without requiring the migration of all data into a FHIR-native system.

What is FHIR?

Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) is a standardized framework created by HL7 International to facilitate the exchange of healthcare data in a flexible, developer-friendly, and modern way. It leverages contemporary web technologies to ensure seamless integration and communication across various healthcare systems.

Hi

I am trying to help another group within our organization access a SQL Table that I have created to populate Epic Department Data within our environment and came across the ability to use SQL Seach REST Interface using iKnow.

However, I am having issues trying to get it to work via POSTMAN before I hand off the solution...

the POST URL... https://<servername>/api/iKnow/latest/TESTCLIN/table/osuwmc_Epic_Clarity.DepartmentMaster/search

where osuwmc_Epic_Clarity.DepartmentMaster is the table

Hey Community,

It's time for the new batch of #KeyQuestions from the previous month.

Often times when working with FHIR data, for example with IRIS For Health, you'll find it useful to create a custom FHIR operation. The FHIR Standard comes with a set of defined operations (such as $everything) but a custom operation comes in handy when you need to create some extra functionality that goes beyond the set of standard FHIR operations. The docs take you step-by-step (though this comment may be helpful to those of you just getting started). One thing I would highlight, purely for aesthetic purposes, is how to syntactically name your function such that you can call it with hyphens.

We have a task that runs objectscript code to load data into a linked external table.  After upgrading from 2024.1 to 2025.1, the load is throwing an error, with error code -400, and no error message.  The data DOES get loaded into the external table in its entirety, so with no meaningful error message, its hard to determine what the issue is.  The result is the same with and without the USING clause, so don't let that confuse you.  We have logs of this statement succeeding before upgrade, and were able to get this statement to work in our production environment, which is still on version

Welcome to the 2025 third quarter update.

Last quarter, we had a few important announcements that are worth reiterating this quarter.

• RHEL 10 support was added to IRIS 2025.1
• 2025.3 will use OpenSSL 3 across all operating systems  SUSE 15 sp6 will be the minimum OS for orgs using SUSE
• The minimum CPU standards are going up in 2025.3
• Older Windows Server operating systems will no longer be supported in 2025.3

Hello,

I am currently maintaining a legacy application that was developed in ObjectScript and accesses data by working directly with globals.
For a new program, however, I plan to access the same global data through SQL-mapped classes.

I have two questions regarding this approach:

..Contains(source.{ORCgrp(x1).OBRuniongrp.NTEi2(x2):Comment(x3)},"(")&&..Matches(source.{ORCgrp(x1).OBRuniongrp.NTEi2(x2):Comment(x3)},"^[A-Z][0-9][0-9]$")

I want to do this to match strings such as X98. Community AI tells me this is correct but I get an error in testing. Specifically, this is the part causing the error;
..Matches(source.{ORCgrp(x1).OBRuniongrp.NTEi2(x2):Comment(x3)},"^[A-Z][0-9][0-9]$")

What do I need to change?

Dear, Community!

I have a concern about using %Stream.TmpCharacter for storage purposes. Reading the class's source code, I can understand a bit about how it works. But I'd like to know from the community how it actually works. Is it necessary to use the .Clear() method to clear this buffer, or is it done automatically upon disposal?

Note: Please forgive my poor English.

InterSystems FAQ rubric

In InterSystems IRIS, you can create linked tables using commands, instead of using System Explorer > SQL > Wizard > Linked Tables in the Management Portal:

To create a linked table, use the CreateLinkedTable method of the %SYSTEM.SQL.Schema class. See the class reference for details.

To execute it, follow these steps:

Hi Everyone, I'm Prakash Hinduja, a financial advisor and consultant. My roots in India now living in Geneva, Switzerland (Swiss). I'm looking for some suggestions on how to get the best performance from Adaptive Analytics 2023.2. I know it uses Adaptive Parallel Execution and automatic aggregates, but I'm curious if you've found any other tips or tricks. For example, are there any specific data modeling choices or system configurations that have worked well for you? I'm trying to make our cubes as responsive as possible. Thanks in advance for any insights!

Hi folks!

Sometimes, when designing a class method and feeding it with more and more useful features, very soon the number of parameters can reach 10 and even more.

It becomes pretty difficult for users of useful methods to remember the position of the important parameter, and it is very easy to misuse the position and transfer the wrong value to the wrong parameter.

Here is an example of such a method (I asked GPT to create a method with 20 params):

ClassMethod GenerateReportWith20Params(
    pTitle As%String = "",
    pAuthor As%String = "",
    pDate As%String = "",            // e.g. 2025-09-03
    pCompany As%String = "",
    pDepartment As%String = "",
    pVersion As%String = "1.0",
    pFormat As%String = "pdf",       // pdf|html|docx
    pIncludeCharts As%Boolean = 1,
    pIncludeSummary As%Boolean = 1,
    pIncludeAppendix As%Boolean = 0,
    pConfidentiality As%String = "Public",
    pLanguage As%String = "en",
    pReviewers As%String = "",       // CSV, e.g. "Alice,Bob"
    pApprover As%String = "",
    pLogoPath As%String = "",
    pWatermarkText As%String = "",
    pColorScheme As%String = "default",
    pPageSize As%String = "A4",
    pOrientation As%String = "Portrait",
    pOutputPath As%String = "report.pdf"
) As%Status
{

// implementation
}

New to HealthShare, I wanted to know if there was a way to modify the locations-card within the Provider Directory? I am not seeing a reference to where the Cards are stored within the documentation.

This might be a dumb question but can we have more than one production in a namespace, because we do have running but I thought that I could create a separate one for another project?

Thx   

Hi Guys,

I'm a newbie in Python and I've imported this class from another IRIS and for some reason its get an error on %ToJSON()?

I'm also wondering on the need of importing iris at the top given that this code is already running in IRIS!? 

Thanks

Hi Guys,

I get the below error when trying to compile an imported class in IRIS, it compiles if I remove [ Collection = list ] so not sure about the use of  [ Collection = list ] and if removing it would affect anything and its just a duplication?

Thanks

Getting this error when create a class in IRIS, any clues?

Thanks

I created a Custom Search Table that extends EnsLib.HL7.Search Table. I saved, compiled, and rebuilt the index however when I go into Message Search to try to use the Search Table, within the conditions the proper fields are not showing up that was defined. It is showing the fields from EnsLib.HL7.SearchTable. I did a build index on both EnsLib.HL7.SearchTable and OSU.HL7.SearchTable.
