For my intern project, I am building a Flask REST API backend. My goal is to host it on InterSystems IRIS using the WSGI interface. This is a relatively new approach and is currently only being used in a handful of projects such as AskMe. To help others get started, I decided to write this article to simplify the process.

Creating a Basic Flask App

First, let’s create a minimal Flask application. Here is the code:

from flask import Flask
from flask_cors import CORS

app = Flask(__name__)
CORS(app)

@app.route('/test')deftest():return"Test"if __name__ == "__main__":

Hi Developers!

There is a free ObjectScriptQuality tool for ObjectScript developers who upload solutions on GitHub. This tool helps developers validate ObjectScript code using a variety of rules, based on common code errors.

There are currently 16 rules in this tool, but there are definitely many more rules to consider when testing ObjectScript code.

Could you suggest any other rules to add to this tool?

Note: You can submit it as an idea on the InterSystems Ideas for the 2nd Idea-A-Thon contest. Source control tools help developers reduce the time to test, develop and deploy applications,

So I have been working in Healthcare Interops for about a month now and in IRIS. I am looking to implement SMART on FHIR and I am currently working to make an endpoint that works as the discovery endpoint. It is a custom dispatch class and unauthenticated is selected for access. I am trying to make a simple get request from Postman to test that the proper JSON is sent, but I receive a 403 Forbidden error. It is reaching IRIS it seems so I know its not a reverse proxy error. Here is an example of my custom Dispatch Class. Then also there is a screenshot of my web application I made specifically

⏯️ Care Compass – InterSystems IRIS powered RAG AI assistant for Care Managers

Care Compass is a prototype AI assistant that helps caseworkers prioritize clients by analyzing clinical and social data. Using Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and large language models, it generates narrative risk summaries, calculates dynamic risk scores, and recommends next steps. The goal is to reduce preventable ER visits and support early, informed interventions.

Introducing Care Compass: AI-Powered Case Prioritization for Human Services

In today’s healthcare and social services landscape, caseworkers face overwhelming challenges. High caseloads, fragmented systems, and disconnected data often lead to missed opportunities to intervene early and effectively. This results in worker burnout and preventable emergency room visits, which are both costly and avoidable.

Care Compass was created to change that.

Hello,

I'm trying to connect a Python backend application to an InterSystems IRIS Community Edition instance running in a Docker container on an AWS EC2 instance. I'm facing persistent connection issues and an SSL Error despite the Superserver apparently having SSL disabled. I'm hoping for some insight into what might be causing this contradictory behavior.

My Setup:

• InterSystems IRIS: Community Edition (Docker image intersystems/iris-community:2025.1)
• Deployment: AWS EC2 (Ubuntu) instance.
• Port Mapping: Host port 9091 mapped to container port 1972 (Superserver). Host port 9092 mapped t

InterSystems IRIS 2024 recently introduced the vector types. This addition empowers developers to work with vector search, enabling efficient similarity searches, clustering, and a range of other applications. In this article, we will delve into the intricacies of vector types, explore their applications, and provide practical examples to guide your implementation.

At its essence, a vector type is a structured collection of numerical values arranged in a predefined order. These values serve to represent different attributes, features, or characteristics of an object.

Hello my friends,

I have a problem with logi report, 

in my store procedure,  I create code like this?

$ListToString(%DLIST(DISTINCT (ARCIM_Desc)),'<br/>') as "ARCIM_Desc", -> this is the problem

$ListToString(%DLIST(DISTINCT (MRDIA_ICDCode_DR)),'<br/>') as "MRDIA_ICDCode_DR", -> it's works fine

as you see there's a <br/> in the display of the report

I have no idea about this, maybe someone can help me fix this problem ?

Thank You

Why It cannot show the full year, I mean why 99 or 95 why not 1999 or 1995 ?

Hi,

If I test the Native api for Node.js from the documentation, I noticed (if I'm correct) all methods and calls are synchronous. By default due to the nature of Node.js, there is only one thread of execution and normally  all JavaScript methods and all calls should be asynchronous and use either a callback function (the "old way") or promises or the async/await contruct to return their result, e.g.:

• myFunction(params, callbackFunction(response))
• myFunction(params).then(resolveFunction(response))
• async someFunction() {
  ​​​​​  response = await myFunction(params)
  }

Hello and welcome to the Developer Ecosystem News!

The second quarter of the year was full of exciting activities in the InterSystems Developer Ecosystem. In case you missed something, we've prepared a selection of the hottest news and topics for you to catch up on!

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.

Hello community,
Is there any built in class method to get the HTTP request and response message format from the %request and %response object. Similar to how a Web Gateway's HTTP Trace Facility captures HTTP messages.

Thanks!

I'm trying to gather more data for one of my namespaces so I can do some analysis. However when I run .BuildIndex() nothing populates in the resulting SQL table. I've tried deleting the class and reimporting and compiling and still nothing. I feel like I'm doing something OBVIOUS that's wrong but I can't quite figure out what it is. Here's what I'm doing (Customer name redacted)

I am receiving a FHIR response bundle back with a resource of patient. Using fromDao, I attempted to take the stream and put it into FHIRModel.R4.Patient but it is not mapping correctly. When I attempt to take FHIRModel.R4.Patient and write it out using toString(), all I am seeing is the resource

{"resourceType":"Patient"}

so the response is not mapping correctly to FHIRModel.R4.Patient. How have others handled this? Do I need to translate it to an SDA since it does fit the model format?
