Hi everyone,

I’m working with an existing InterSystems IRIS server that hosts several web applications and namespace-specific code and data. I’d like to reverse-engineer the current environment into a %Installer.Manifest file so I can store it in Git and manage its changes.

My goal is to:

🛠️ Managing InterSystems InterSystems API Manager (IAM = Kong Gateway) configurations in CI/CD

I like Application Error Log a lot, both for its full stack and a big list of variables. I'd like to "hack" this functionality and record the same in this log when a certain variable has a certain value. This quasi error should not be visible to the user, and it should not interrupt the application flow. Is that possible?

Throwing an error in a try-catch block does not record the error, tested. I am considering recording variables and the stack differently, I know how to do both, but that would miss the nice Application Error Log functionality.

Hi Community,

We're pleased to present you with the latest and, obviously, the hottest presentation of the first day of the UK&I Data Summit in Birmingham! It is dedicated to the Developer Ecosystem and done by @Dean Andrews, Head of the Developer Relations at InterSystems:

Hi,

Has anyone used 'IO-Redirect' package?

https://openexchange.intersystems.com/package/io-redirect

IRIS for me runs on a Linux server.

I want the package to be able to supply "answers" from a Linux OS file in response to a program run as follows:
do ^ADMIN
I'm assuming that the program does objectscript reads from the terminal

Questions

Hello,
I am currently facing the task of retrieving or sending HL7 messages from a web API. Since we only send HL7 messages via internal sockets, web APIs are relatively new to me.
The following is my plan for the new interface:

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 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
}

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.

Hi Community,

Our Project Managers created a series of videos to highlight some of the interesting features of the new 2025.1 release. Please welcome the first one of them:

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a DTL that transforms an HL7 message (EnsLib.HL7.Message) to an XML document (EnsLib.EDI.XML.Document).

The target XML is based on a custom schema and has an element like:

<xs:element name="deceasedDateTime" type="xs:dateTime" nillable="true"/>

Hi,

I'd like to report a really strange behavior of the Intersystems Lite Terminal after executing a simple ObjectScript instruction.

From the Intersystems Lite terminal, execute the following instructions:

- Set uniqueId = "12345678_1"
- Set uniqueId = $p(uniqueId,"_",1)_"_"_($p(uniqueId,"_",*)+1)
After executing the second instruction, the terminal closes without any error.
