Modern data architectures utilize real-time data capture, transformation, movement, and loading solutions to build data lakes, analytical warehouses, and big data repositories. It enables the analysis of data from various sources without impacting the operations that use them. To achieve this, establishing a continuous, scalable, elastic, and robust data flow is essential. The most prevalent method for that is through the CDC (Change Data Capture) technique. CDC monitors for small data set production, automatically captures this data, and delivers it to one or more recipients, including analytical data repositories. The major benefit is the elimination of the D+1 delay in analysis, as data is detected at the source as soon as it is produced, and later is replicated to the destination.

This article will demonstrate the two most common data sources for CDC scenarios, both as a source and a destination. For the data source (origin), we will explore the CDC in SQL databases and CSV files. For the data destination, we will use a columnar database (a typical high-performance analytical database scenario) and a Kafka topic (a standard approach for streaming data to the cloud and/or to multiple real-time data consumers).

Overview

This article will provide a sample for the following interoperability scenario:

Here is an option for your headspace if you are designing an multi-cluster architecture and the Operator is an FTE to the design. You can run the Operator from a central Kubernetes cluster (A), and point it to another Kubernetes cluster (B), so that when the apply an IrisCluster to B the Operator works remotely on A and plans the cluster accordingly on B. This design keeps some resource heat off the actual workload cluster, spares us some serviceaccounts/rbac and gives us only one operator deployment to worry about so we can concentrate on the IRIS workloads.

Overview

This web interface is designed to facilitate the management of Data Lookup Tables via a user-friendly web page. It is particularly useful when your lookup table values are large, dynamic, and frequently changing. By granting end-users controlled access to this web interface (read, write, and delete permissions limited to this page), they can efficiently manage lookup table data according to their needs.

The data managed through this interface can be seamlessly utilized in HealthConnect rules or data transformations, eliminating the need for constant manual monitoring and management of the lookup tables and thereby saving significant time.

Note:
If the standard Data Lookup Table does not meet your mapping requirements, you can create a custom table and adapt this web interface along with its supporting class with minimal modifications. Sample class code is available upon request.

With the rapid adoption of telemedicine, remote consultations, and digital dictation, healthcare professionals are communicating more through voice than ever before. Patients engaging in virtual conversations generate vast amounts of unstructured audio data, so how can clinicians or administrators search and extract information from hours of voice recordings?

I have been struggling sometime with trying to take a FHIR Bundle Response, extract the "entry.resourceType", extract the MRN and Name from the Patient FHIR Response...

Going through learning.intersystems.com, it suggested that I try using fhirPathAPI to parse and search my response for certain values, however I am not sure my syntax is correct. Using the AI code, it suggested to set my tree = "Bundle.entry.resource.resourceType"

Hi everyone,

I’ve set up a scheduled task in InterSystems IRIS to run every night at 2:00 AM, but it doesn’t seem to trigger consistently. Some nights it works as expected, but other times it just skips without any error in the logs.

The task is marked as enabled, and there are no conflicts in the Task Manager. I’ve double-checked the system time and time zone settings all looks fine.

Hello,

We are doing the hl7 integration migration from cloverleaf to InterSystems Healthshare. so I have an application has workflow like below, and I am seeking the suggestion of the workflow in InterSystems HealthConnect cloud version.

The current application has workflow like this.

1. local server has Cron job every night to create about 10 files with specific name and next day's timestamp in file name with a dummy word in it and the files located in local cloverleaf server. pretty much 1 facility per file, file name has facility name and timestamp in it.

At the moment, we have 10 HealthShare instance servers (5 x mirrored pairs), where we implement an External Backup approach, using the freeze/thaw commands against whichever server of the pair is the backup mirror member, to complete a VM level backup. These backups are stored to a disk within our control, to purge as required. This approach allows us to deliver a zero downtime backup approach.

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
}

Hi,

To add or get information about a user for the management portal you can [within the portal]:
System Administration > Security Management > Users

Is it possible to:

1. List a user, user's properties including roles

2. Add a user and set user's properties including roles

3. Set a user's password

for the management portal using a program eg. Objectscript and/or SQL?

If so, how can this be done?

It would be great if you have examples.

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.

Hi all!

I want to create an %Embedding.Config to use with an %Embedding property. I followed the documentation for %Embedding.OpenAI, and it works fine after setting sslConfig, modelName, and apiKey.

However, I need to use AzureOpenAI. While the embedding process is similar to OpenAI's, Azure requires additional connection parameters, like an endpoint.
My question is: is it possible to configure these extra parameters with %Embedding.Config, and if so, how?

Hi Community,

I’m trying to execute a directory query in InterSystems IRIS using %SQL.Statement, but encountering an unexpected error.

Details:
The following command confirms that the directory exists:

Set dirPath="\\MYNETWORK_DRIVE\DFS-Shared_Product\GXM"
Write ##class(%File).DirectoryExists(dirPath)

It returns 1, meaning the path is valid and accessible.

However, when I try to execute this SQL query:
