At the moment, we have 10 HealthShare instance servers (5 x mirrored pairs), where we implement an External Backup approach, using the freeze/thaw commands against whichever server of the pair is the backup mirror member, to complete a VM level backup. These backups are stored to a disk within our control, to purge as required. This approach allows us to deliver a zero downtime backup approach.

Hi,

I do have the problem to send mails to outlook after getting the new OAUTH2 token. 

 I have no problem getting the token, but after I got the token I try to send the mail thru smtp but authorization failed , please see my try to send the token thru the %Net.Authenticator mechanism %Net.SASL.XOAUTH2

Is this ok?

Or is there an other method to authenticate using the needed bearer method instead of user/pwd with the authenticator? 

 ....code to get the token is working..

...   set s=##class(%Net.SMTP).%New()
    
    set m=##class(%Net.MailMessage).%New()
    
    set auth=##class(%Net.

Hi Guys,

I'm looking to setup an MQTT adapter that also acts as broker to connect directly to an MQTT clients, is there an IRIS adapter or client that can be used as Broker as well?

Thanks

If one of your packages on OEX receives a review, you get notified by OEX only of YOUR own package.   
The rating reflects the experience of the reviewer with the status found at the time of review.   
It is kind of a snapshot and might have changed meanwhile.   
Reviews by other members of the community are marked by * in the last column.

I also placed a bunch of Pull Requests on GitHub when I found a problem I could fix.    
Some were accepted and merged, and some were just ignored.     
So if you made a major change and expect a changed review, just let me know.

Hi,

%SYS.LDAP - InterSystems IRIS Data Platform 2025.2 - including private class members   states that
 

"abstract class %SYS.LDAP

Requires %syLDAP.INC to be included in your COS routine for some macro definitions."

How can I include %syLDAP.INC for the compilation of my code which uses %SYS.LDAP ?   I need the definitions for the $$$LADPxxxx macros (such as $$$LDAPSUCCESS).

Thank you.

Hi,

I am trying to include in my Data Transform, if OBX 5.1 (Observation Value) Contains certain text i.e. DETECTED then populate the Abnormal Flag field with a certain letter.

Sometimes the text can be uppercase, lowercase or a multiple of both.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Jason

Hi,

Does calling the BIND method of %SYS.LDAP, with the username, domain and password of the user that  needs to be authenticated- the right way to authenticate him/her ?

Also - am I correct in assuming that something like this is independant to (and I don't  need to specify setting for),  System Security -> LDAP Options 

Thanks

Steve

I was really surprised that such a flexible integration platform with a rich toolset specifically for app connections has no out-of-the-box Enterprise Service Bus solution. Like Apache ServiceMix, Mule ESB, SAP PI/PO, etc, what’s the reason? What do you think? Has this pattern lost its relevance completely nowadays? And everybody moved to message brokers, maybe?

Wiki time: An enterprise service bus (ESB) implements a communication system between mutually interacting software applications in a service-oriented architecture (SOA) .

Hi all,

I'm developing a Azure Pipeline to automate the deployment process in Caché.

I use selfhosted agent to execute code im my Caché Server.

My problem is that cession execution via cmd always terminate with exit code 1 and the pipeline finishes with error, but the execution in Caché is fine, the method executed returns $$$OK
I use the following line to execute a class in Caché.
C:\InterSystems\Cache\bin\csession.exe CACHE -U  %RELEASE_TRIGGERINGARTIFACT_ALIAS% "##Class(sgf.pipeline.DeploymentManager).

Why This Matters

Managing IAM can be tedious when done manually — especially when your APIs are already well-documented using OpenAPI (Swagger) specs. Wouldn't it be great if you could automatically generate Kong services and routes directly from your OpenAPI spec?

That's exactly what this ObjectScript method does: it reads an OpenAPI 2.0 spec stored in the XData block of your spec class and generates a decK-compatible YAML file that can be used to sync your IAM configuration.

The ^%GCMP utility can be used to compare the contents of two globals.

For example, to compare ^test and ^test in the USER and SAMPLES namespaces, it would look like this:
*In the example below, 700 identical globals are created in the two namespaces, and the contents of one of them is changed to make it the detection target.

Hi community,

A colleague gets ERROR #822: Access denied every time he tries to log in via Management portal. It is NOT the case of wrong credentials: I reset his password password to a temporary one so it would prompt him to create a new one upon first login. He did get the prompt, changed his password and his next attempt at logging in displayed the same error.

The audit log record displays this:
Error message: ERROR #862: User is restricted from running application /csp/sys/op, %Admin_Operate:U required -- cannot execute.

I am truly excited to continue my "InterSystems for Dummies" series of articles, and today, we want to tell you everything about one of the most powerful features we have for interoperability.

Hey, even if you have already had a go, we plan to take a really close look at how to get the most out of them and make our production even better.

I’ve been exploring options for connecting Google Cloud Pub/Sub with InterSystems IRIS/HealthShare, but I noticed that IRIS doesn’t seem to ship with any native inbound/outbound adapters for Pub/Sub. Out of the box, IRIS offers adapters for technologies like Kafka, HTTP, FTP, and JDBC, which are great for many use cases, but Pub/Sub appears to be missing from the list.

Has anyone here implemented such an integration successfully?

For example:

• Would it make sense to leverage IRIS’s Business Service + REST API adapter to connect to Google’s Pub/Sub REST endpoints?

I want to integrate Google Cloud Pub/Sub with InterSystems IRIS(HealthShare) and I see that InterSystems does not provide any out of the box Inbound/Outbound adapters for this integration though it has adapters for Kafka and other similar services. Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

I'm trying to access the Bearer token from the Authorization header in my REST service class, but I'm getting a 500 Internal Server Error when I try to use %request.GetCgiEnv("HTTP_AUTHORIZATION").

My Environment:

• InterSystems ensemble 2018
• Using EnsLib.REST.Service with HTTP Inbound Adapter
• REST API URL: http://ip:port/api-kiosk/patientData

My Code:

objectscript

Class CIS.PATIENT.ReadPatientData Extends EnsLib.REST.Service
{
Parameter ADAPTER = "EnsLib.HTTP.InboundAdapter";
Parameter HandleCorsRequest = 1;

XData UrlMap [ XMLNamespace = "http://www.intersystems.

I joined InterSystems less than a year ago. Diving into ObjectScript and IRIS was exciting, but also full of small surprises that tripped me up at the beginning. In this article I collect the most common mistakes I, and many new colleagues, make, explain why they happen, and show concrete examples and practical fixes. My goal is to help other new developers save time and avoid the same bumps in the road.

1. Getting lost among system classes and where to start

The issue: ObjectScript/IRIS ships with many system classes and packages (%Library, %SYS, %Persistent, %SQL, etc.).

Hi Community,

This is my first post in the developer community - would appreciate any feedback!

For testing or demo purposes, you may want to send emails from your Interoperability Production. In this post then I will walk you through connecting an InterSystems IRIS Production to Gmail so you can use it to send emails alerts.

In this article, we will present an example of a project implementing a FHIR-based solution. This project will be based on the national project (Spanish national project), known as ÚNICAS.

What is ÚNICAS?

In his own words:

A project whose objective is to create an ecosystem of partnerships to improve healthcare for pediatric patients with complex rare diseases (RMDs). This project is being implemented through the network within the National Health System (NHS) to improve the diagnosis and care of patients with rare diseases.

Another step in this implementation path, adding cross cloud, cross regional stretched IrisCluster with Mirroring + Disaster Recovery using the Intersystems Kubernetes Operator (IKO) and Tailscale

Though trivial, Id like to go multi-cloud with the stretched IrisCluster for a couple of reasons to socialize the power of Wireguard when it supplies the network for a properly zoned IrisCluster by adding another mirror role to Amazon Web Services in the Western United States based datacenter in Oregon.
