Overview

This release delivers expanded Azure support for InterSystems Data Studio, enhanced subscription flexibility, major module updates, and multiple improvements to networking, security, and API responsiveness.

New Features and Enhancements

This article outlines the process of utilizing the renowned Jaeger solution for tracing InterSystems IRIS applications. Jaeger is an open-source product for tracking and identifying issues, especially in distributed and microservices environments. This tracing backend that emerged at Uber in 2015 was inspired by Google's Dapper and Twitter's OpenZipkin. It later joined the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) as an incubating project in 2017, achieving graduated status in 2019. This guide will demonstrate how to operate the containerized Jaeger solution integrated with IRIS.

⏯️ Introducing InterSystems Go tHE DIStance

InterSystems Go tHE DIStance is a next-generation care management solution aimed at helping health plans address rising unmanaged healthcare costs and declining quality ratings, particularly in chronic condition management like diabetes. The platform integrates rich, real-time clinical data (rather than relying solely on delayed claims data) into interactive views that can track HEDIS performance, identify care gaps, and support targeted, personalized outreach through built-in communication tools. Care managers can access a unified clinical record, engagement history, and recommended next actions to improve both individual patient outcomes and broader population health.

The August Article Bounty on the Global Masters article caught my attention, and one of the proposed topics sounded quite interesting in regard to its future use in my teaching. So, here's what I'd like to tell my students about tables in IRIS and how they correlate with the object model. 

First of all, InterSystems IRIS boasts a unified data model. This means that when you work with data, you are not locked into a single paradigm. The same data can be accessed and manipulated as a traditional SQL table, as a native object, or even as a multidimensional array (a global). It means that when you create an SQL table, IRIS automatically creates a corresponding object class. When you define an object class, IRIS automatically makes it available as an SQL table. The data itself is stored only once in IRIS's efficient multidimensional storage engine. The SQL engine and the object engine are simply different "lenses" to view and work with the same data.

First, let's look at the correlation between the relational model and the object model:

It's not always a 1:1 correlation, as you may have several tables represent one class, for example. But it's a general rule of thumb. 

Over the years, I’ve noticed that certain SQL questions come up repeatedly on the InterSystems Developer Community, especially about using the LIKE predicate in different contexts. Common variations include:

• using special characters in queries
• using variables in queries

and many more derivatives. So, I decided to write an article that focuses on how LIKE works in InterSystems IRIS SQL, especially when used with variables in Embedded SQL, Dynamic SQL, and Class Queries, while touching on pattern escaping and special character searches.

First of all, I'd like to mention that InterSystems IRIS SQL offers most of the capabilities available in other relational DBMS that implement a later version of the SQL standard. But at the same time, it's important to mention that apart from relational access, in IRIS you can also use other models to get the same data, for example, object or document models. 

On this note, let's look at the LIKE predicate and how this tool is used in SQL for pattern matching. 

In recent versions of IRIS, a powerful new data loading command has been introduced to SQL: LOAD DATA. This feature has been highly optimized to import data into IRIS extremely fast, allowing hundreds of gigabytes of data to be inserted in seconds instead of hours or days. 

This is a very exciting improvement. However, a big problem in the data loading experience still exists. Namely, the time and hassle it takes to:

1. Define the schema for the table in which you want to load data.
2. Figure out the syntax for the LOAD DATA command.

In the Caché database, when calculating the total count based on the unique identifier of a record, the quantity is over 1.2 million. After removing duplicates based on the unique identifier and then calculating the total count, the quantity is over 400,000. When grouping by the unique identifier, it can be observed that the count for this identifier is not one. However, when performing a conditional query based on the identifier, only one record can be retrieved. Why is this the case?

Dynamic Entities (objects and arrays) in IRIS are incredibly useful in situations where you are having to transform JSON data into an Object Model for storage to the database, such as in REST API endpoints hosted within IRIS. This is because these dynamic objects and arrays can easily serve as a point of conversion from one data structure to the other.

Dynamic Objects

Dynamic Objects are very similar to the standard ObjectScript object model you get when you create a new instance of a class object, but with some key differences:

Is there a way to Remove specific all Addresses from a Provider.Individual.Address before reinserting the Addresses from an HL7 message in Provider Directory?

Most fields we can call %clearFields() however since Addresses come from multiple locations we need to isolate and treat Addresses from this HL7 source as a snapshot.

Thanks

⏯️ MyVitals: Connecting Wearable Health Data to EHRs with InterSystems

MyVitals is a Personal Health Device Hub that bridges the gap between wearable health devices and clinical workflows. In this demo, we show how healthcare organizations can enroll patients, collect real-time data from personal devices via mobile apps, and seamlessly integrate that information into EHR systems using FHIR, HL7, and InterSystems technology. Built on IRIS for Health and FHIR repositories, MyVitals turns disconnected wearable data into actionable clinical insights—securely, efficiently, and at scale.

Hi all,

I’m running into an issue with a %ZEN.Component.tablePane in a Zen page.

We have:

• A fully styled table with all columns defined
• A backend query (SearchMessages) that accepts multiple filter parameters
• A set of input fields at the top of the page for filtering (text, date, and checkboxes)

We’re trying to run the query from a button click using a client-side method (runSearch()) that collects the filter values, sets them as parameters, and calls executeQuery().

Hello
I want to get the property of a class, sorted by order in storage.

I know we can use
 

Set definition = ##class(%Dictionary.ClassDefinition).%OpenId(className)
        Set listProperty = definition.Properties
        For ii = 1:1:listProperty.Count(){
                    write listProperty.GetAt(ii).Name

But using GetAt sorts the results alphabetically.

Example :

Class Test.classExtends (%SerialObject, %XML.Adaptor, %JSON.Adaptor)
{

    Property tiers As%String;Property journal As%String;
}

listProperty.GetAt(1).Name = "journal" and listProperty.GetAt(2).Name = "tiers"

I have the unfortunate job of installing IRIS and Healthshare (real Healthshare not Healthconnect) on 16 difference instances (tst, stg, prd with mirrors etc). the Dev was set up manually (mostly by me).

So I decided to create a class that installed the db's, namespaces, mappings and HSREGISTRY options , i then decided an installer manifest was a better idea, I keep changing my mind on which!.  I understanding manifest is "typically" for dockers to create the environment but have seen ISC use them for creating new setups aswell (outside docker)

The operations manager in our company was using structured logging in IRIS to tail information to an on-prem monitoring tool and started to get concerned with the ever-growing size of the output file. He just leaned across the aisle here and informed me that the output file has no mechanism for rolling this file over at a certain point for archival or disposal. Sure enough, I can't find any documentation to refute this. If we were on Linux, I suppose we could get around this by using syslog or even taking advantage of the fact that the filesystem does not always to a lock on the output file

Hi everyone,

I am trying to create a treeMapChart in IRIS BI that will then be displayed on my DeepSeeWeb dashboard. In the IRIS BI User Portal, this is an example of what my treeMapChart looks like:

I know there is a huge amount of rectangles in this graphic - I care most about the common components (the largest boxes) but I still want all of the boxes to show. However, it projects to my DeepSeeWeb dashboard as the following: 

Hello Community,

I’m working on an InterSystems IRIS production that needs to call an external API using OAuth client credentials (client_id and client_secret). For security reasons, I must pass these credentials via environment variables in my Docker container.

In the IRIS terminal, I can successfully retrieve these environment variables using $System.Util.GetEnviron("api-clientid") and $System.Util.GetEnviron("api-clientsecret"). However, inside my Business Operation class (OnMessage method), these environment variables return empty strings.

⏯️ Data Transformation Adventures with InterSystems IRIS

Navigating interoperability and healthcare can be an exciting adventure. In this demo, we will show you how InterSystems IRIS can be the perfect tool to get data - wherever it may lie, in whatever format, into a format of your choice, including FHIR! Once that is done, analytics is a piece of cake with the FHIR SQL Builder and Deep See Web. Let the questing begin!

For example, you start debugging the AAA function, which calls the BBB function, then goes to the CCC^ABC function in a different routine and ends up while executing XXX^XYZ. No other routines or functions are visited in this example. What I would like is to get the record of AAA -> BBB -> CCC^ABC -> XXX^XYZ. No marking each function with recording code should be involved: too time consuming, too many functions in real code.

UPD: Iris has built in %SYS.Trace for this purpose but this class is apparently absent in Cache 2017. Did not find any substitutes yet.

This article is a continuation of the IRIS JSON project and features additional methods and insights.

Let's continue with the instance methods

%GetTypeOf(Key)

This instance method is used to determine the JSON data type of the %DynamicObject or %DynamicArray.

It returns one of the following strings:

I have a personal copy of Cache which I use to help me with certain things. The instance resides on my Windows desktop. The apps I use a web enabled. It would be great if I could access my apps via web browser from my laptop without having to keep a copy of Cache on my laptop. It would make it difficult to keep the databases synced. So, if I restart my Cache instance, then I can use get to my apps by entering the url: http://ipadd:57772/csp/user/myapp.cls. but later, after having closed the browser on my laptop, if I try to open a browser session on my desktop I get license limit exceeded.

Been testing out the Production Validator toolkit, just to see what we can/not do with it. Seems really interesting and there seem to be some use cases for it that can really streamline some upgrades (or at least parts of upgrades) but I was running into so many hurdles with the documentation. I am curious if anyone else has used it.
Did you experience any issues getting it working? Any clarification that you would have liked in the documentation? any use cases that you worked through that made it particularly valuable? etc?
The hurdles I experienced included:

Visual Studio Code releases new updates every month with new features and bug fixes, and the July 2025 release is now available.

When I open a class in VS Code and I want to save it I'm getting the following error : Non-JSON response to /api/atelier/v7/DEV/doc/API.Mollie.Execute.cls?ignoreConflict=0 request. Is the web server suppressing detailed errors?

Also I always get a popup when I open VS Code "The extension wants to sign in using InterSystems Server Credentials."
