Working on wrapping an IRIS Cache ObjectScript method that runs for a few seconds. Trying to get UI updates to show BEFORE the method runs in an async/await function. But it seems to be running synchronously rather than asynchronously . So my question is does IRIS/ObjectScript CSP pages support futures with JavaScript or does it run all synchronously.
Are you familiar with SQL databases, but not familiar with IRIS? Then read on...
About a year ago I joined InterSystems, and that is how IRIS got on my radar. I've been using databases for over 40 years—much of that time for database vendors—and assumed IRIS would be largely the same as the other databases I knew. However I was surprised to find that IRIS is in several ways quite unlike other databases, often much better. With this, my first article in the Dev Community, I'll give a high-level overview of IRIS for people that are already familiar with the other databases such as Oracle, SQL Server, Snowflake, PostgeSQL, etc. I hope I can make things clearer and simpler for you and save you some time getting started.

⏯️ The Ultimate 3D Industrial Simulation powered by a Game Engine with InterSystems IRIS
In this demo, InterSystems IRIS Interoperability comes alive in an amazing, game-like user experience based on our Ultimate Control Tower demo. We visualize machines in a virtual 3D factory building, interacting with InterSystems IRIS in real time—displaying current statuses and sensor data, simulating machine outages and predictive maintenance scenarios, and triggering workflow tasks and actions in InterSystems IRIS. By using a mobile app on a tablet—and even a VR headset for a fully immersive experience—we unleash the power of InterSystems IRIS.

Test Objectives
InterSystems has been testing Vector Search since it was announced as an “experimental feature” in IRIS 2024.1. The first test cycle was aimed at identifying algorithmic inefficiencies and performance constraints during the Development/QD cycle. The next test cycle used simple vector searches for single threaded performance analysis to model reliable, scalable and performant behaviour at production database scale in IRIS, and performed a series of comparative tests of key IRIS vector search features against PostgreSQL/pgvector. The current test cycle models the expected behaviour of real-world customer deployments using complex queries that span multiple indices (vector and non-vector) and run in up to 1000 concurrent threads. These tests will be run against IRIS, PostgreSQL/pgvector, and ElasticSearch
In this 3-part series of articles, is shown how you can use IAM to simply add security, according to OAuth 2.0 standards, to a previously unauthenticated service deployed in IRIS.
In the first part, was provided some OAuth 2.0 background together with some IRIS and IAM initial definitions and configurations in order to facilitate the understanding of the whole process of securing your services.
Dear InterSystems-Maintainer Team,
I am currently conducting a comparative evaluation of FHIR clients as part of my
bachelor thesis in health informatics. One of my evaluation criteria is the response
time to support inquiries.
Therefore, I would like to kindly ask the following question as part of my analysis:
How can I read and write custom FHIR extensions using your client library?
If available, could you point me to any documentation or examples?
Many thanks for your time and support!
Kind regards,
Rüya Gökoglu

I am trying to catch an exception and write it to the Application Error Log, but cant find any details on how to do this in IRIS health.
Catch ex {Set logger = ##class(%Logger).%GetLogger("MyApp")Do logger.Error($ZError)}Cant seem to find the %Logger class either.
I'm following this guide as well as the sample.cs file and getting an error message on this linecache_connection.Connect();
The error is:Caught GlobalsException: lc_conn::connect_device returned Db_err: source: lc_conn::connect() message: lc_conn::connect: CacheSecureStart returned -15: <ACCESSDENIED>
I've tried many variations of Namespace + Username + Password and they all result in that error, even though I can connect to the namespace just fine using other means.

Hi,
I have a mirrored database called ROUTER.
I have a primary server T1 and a "Disaster Recovery" server T2.
When I activate ROUTER database on T2, I get the error it says the "Database could not be mounted".
I went to the audit database and it shows "Attempt to access a protected database".
T2 in mirror monintor shows "Connected" "Caught up" "Warning! Some databases need attention"
T2 show the ROUTER database as being "Mounted/R"
Both T1 & T2 are Linux servers. The ROUTER database file IRIS.DAT have the same Linux permissions
All productions on T1/T2 are not running.
I am trying to create users who only have `%SQL` Role for the INSTANCE. But I am unable to find any documentation on the `Security.Users` class.

Hi InterSystems Community! I'm Sidd one of the interns at the Singapore office and I recently had the chance to develop to develop a driver to connect IRIS to Metabase to help some of the Sales Engineers here. I was encouraged to share it here so that if any others have a similar issue they can use the driver and as well as get some feedback on potential improvements. The full GitHub repo with the quick start step, brief overview and the driver building process can be found here. The main purpose of this post will be to go more into detail into the main driver code and talk about ideas on how

Hello everyone,
I'm using EnsLib.TCP.TextLineOutboundAdapter to communicate with a third-party system over TCP/IP. The issue is that the system sends back only an integer (e.g. 1001 or -1) without any terminator (like $c(10)).
I'm trying to print from Cache and I have setup the device, but keep getting a message that someone else is using it. this is RHEL 7.9. I have cups running and I can print from the command line. I have also issued this command: lpadmin -p KM501L -u allow:all
what am I missing
thanks

Hey Community,
Last week, the InterSystems team held our monthly Developer Meetup in a new venue for the first time ever! In the AWS Boston office location in the Seaport, over 71 attendees showed up to chat, network, and listen to talks from two amazing speakers. The event was a huge success; we had a packed house, tons of engagement and questions, and attendees lining up to chat with our speakers afterwards!

InterSystems IRIS 2025.2 introduces the IRISSECURITY database, the new home for security data. Unlike IRISSYS, the previous home for security data, IRISSECURITY can be encrypted, which secures your sensitive data at rest. In a future version, IRISSECURITY will be mirrorable.
This version also introduces the %SecurityAdministrator role for general security administration tasks.
