Any time a change is made to the configuration of a running Production, an update is needed to apply any changes in configuration or default settings to the running Production. This has historically been a manual step by the user. Now, if the CCR Client Tools cause a running Production to need update, the Production is updated automatically. This means users will no longer have to navigate to the Production Configuration page and click the 'Update Production' button every time they load an ItemSet.

Hello Community,

I'm currently planning a system upgrade from Caché (2018.1.8.766) to InterSystems IRIS (2024.1). The environment consists of one database server and three application servers connected via ECP.

I’m considering two possible upgrade approaches:

1. Upgrade the application servers to IRIS first.
   Since IRIS is expected to be backward-compatible with Caché over ECP, the database server would remain on Caché temporarily.
2. Upgrade the database server first,
   followed by upgrading the application servers, as they don’t store data.

Hi Guys,

Not sure what should be the url format, but I'm using : https://PBS.products.com:2188/ to post to the below Business Service  

But I'm getting "connect ECONNREFUSED 3.209.112.146" error, so am I missing something? 

Thanks

⏯️ Auto-scaling made easy in GKE with InterSystems Kubernetes Operator (IKO)

Kubernetes horizontal pod auto-scaling (HPA) is the key to handle the unpredictable compute workload in healthcare systems. IKO helps orchestrating the IRIS container deployment in Kubernetes including the capability to configure HPA. This demo uses XSLT processing as an example to showcase this type of elasticity.

Hi everyone,

I'm developing an Ensemble process that sends user data from a Business Process to a Business Operation using EnsLib.SQL.OutboundAdapter. The operation is supposed to call a stored procedure on a SQL Server.

The stored procedure expects 3 parameters:
@FirstName, @LastName, and @Email.

The procedure works fine when executed directly from SQL Server Management Studio.

However, when I trigger it via Ensemble, I get the following error:

[SQL Server] Incorrect syntax near 'email@domain.

This great article sparked some recent private discussion, and I'd like to share some of my own thoughts from it.
The motivating concern boils down to: Why do we need coding rules or conventions at all? What happened to the wonderful era of the Renaissance artist-programmer forging their own path, prior to being supplanted by the craftsman and now (even worse) by AI?
In short, there are a few reasons why coding standards/guidelines are useful, and the Renaissance artist-programmer is not entirely gone.

Data is at the heart of the digital transformation sweeping healthcare. Radical change requires a new foundation to handle the massive data demands of modern healthcare.

Time to market is crucial as you develop the next therapeutic breakthroughs, genomic insights, and intelligent clinical workflows. You need to deliver them now.

That’s why we’ve extended the power of our InterSystems IRIS Data Platform to address the unique characteristics of healthcare information. InterSystems IRIS for Health is the world’s first and only data platform engineered specifically for the rapid development of healthcare applications to manage the world’s most critical data.

I installed and configure CodeTidy in my local development environment, without InterSystems source-control (git-source-control) and only git for source control.

I would like to use only CodeTidy to stablish an automated  Linting and Code Style Validation for InterSystems ObjectScript code triggered by GitHub Actions.

Could you shed some light on how to accomplish that?

I have a table with 5M rows, the table contains lab observation codes and display names, both columns have type varchar(2000) and both are indexed.

The query looks like:

select code_1_text, count(code_1_text)
  from demo.observation_lab
  group by code_1_text
  order by 2 desc

The table contains ~1000 distinct display names.

It takes 4 minutes for the query to complete on a VM with some pretty old Xeon, 4 cores, 32G RAM, NVME SSD and Linux on board.

Isn't it too slow?

Hi,

sometimes we need more then one Iris container at the same time. Since as containers they always have the same instance name shown in the management portal, it is hard to distinguish the management-portals of the instances. Searching for a way to make it easier I thought I could change the instance name shown in the management portal. I tried "iris rename" in different ways but could only change the configuration name which is shown by "iris list", not the name in the management portal.

Please suggest/share best practices and sample questions that would help me to secure InterSystems HL7 specialist Certification.

I am writing a little app where I press a button on a Zen form. It calls a ZenMethod that uses zenPage.launchPopupWindow() to provide me a way to choose a file. I then click on an upload button that calls a csp cache language script file that runs on the server, that grabs the contents of the file and stuffs it into a global. I want it then close and return to the parent window to continue processing the contents of the file.

Hello Community,

I’d like to know how I can update my login email address from the profile section.

When I click the "Edit" option in my profile, it redirects me to login.intersystems.com. However, even on that page, I don’t see an option to edit the login email address. [unable to edit]

Could someone please guide me on how to change my login email?

Thanks in advance!

Hi I have a SDA3 created from large CCDA file, i am trying to map the SDA object to Stream using tSDA.ToQuickXMLStream(.tSDAOut).. i am getting xml parse error.. it works when the files are smaller.. Is there a workaround to get SDA to a stream

Greetings dear community members!

Many of you will remember the NLP capabilities available in IRIS under the name iKnow, which were deprecated not long ago. But...is everything deprecated? NO! A small village resists deprecation: iFind indexes!

Hello everyone,

I came across the following badge on Credly:

Thank you in advance!

I have a custom Buffer class which is designed to capture written/printed statements to the device, to be able to transform the captured text to string or stream type. I have used this in ObjectScript to capture ObjectScript write statements and return a string. I would like to try to use this with a [ Language = python ] method as follows. This class will be called by a scheduled task.

/// ObjectScript code which initializes buffer to capture statements written in nested method call
ClassMethod CollectStringFromBuffer() 
{
    set buffer = ##class(CustomClass.Buffer).%New()
    do buffer.

Trying to extract the narrative text from large CCDA files using EnsLib.EDI.XML.Document:GetValueAt method

Getting a MAXSTRING error from the GetValueAt method.. Tried alternate by using GetSubDocumentAt and put it to string. Still it is giving a Invalid OREF method. Is there any limitation on these OOB methods. Also looking for ideas to extract it

Hello InterSystems EHR community,

InterSystems Certification is currently developing a certification exam for InterSystems EHR Reports specialists, and if you match the exam candidate description given below, we would like you to beta test the exam! The exam will be available for beta testing starting June 30, 2025.

Overview

The typeorm-iris project provides experimental support for integrating TypeORM with InterSystems IRIS, enabling developers to interact with IRIS using TypeORM’s well-known decorators and repository abstractions. This allows a more familiar development experience for JavaScript and TypeScript developers building Node.js applications with IRIS as the backend database.

While the project implements key integration points with TypeORM and supports basic entity operations, it’s not yet battle-tested or suitable for production environments.

It appears as though command history is not available via up/down arrow keyboard keys when using the SQL Shell. Is there anything in the works to change that?

Also, typing the colon character (:) as the first character after the prompt in Terminal Lite does odd things in 2025.1.1 ... every keystroke starting with the colon is echoed back and pressing Enter generates an error:

The red :SQL on the first line was echoed simultaneously as the :SQL in white was typed. Also, it's obvious that aliases don't work in Terminal Lite 😉

I'm working with IRIS for Health. I need to abort all messages currently in the queue via the command line (IRIS terminal). is there any easy way?
