InterSystems Kubernetes Operator (IKO) 3.8 is now Generally Available.  IKO 3.8 adds new functionality along with numerous bug fixes and security updates.  Highlights include:

• Compute Groups allows you to deploy more than one type of compute node to handle different types of workloads in a single IrisCluster
• Consolidate Volumes – you can now choose to deploy with fewer volumes, such as consolidating data and WIJ on the same volume.

Follow the Installation Guide for guidance on how to download, install, and get started with IKO.  The complete IKO 3.8 documentation gives you more information

Hello,

I am currently trying to install InterSystems IRIS for Health and specifically the Ensemble integration tool, but I am facing issues.

Here are the details of my setup:

• Version of IRIS: 2025.1 (Community Edition)
• Operating System: [Insert your OS here, e.g., Windows 10, Ubuntu 20.04, etc.]
• Issue: I have downloaded IRIS for Health, but I cannot find Ensemble during the installation process. I have tried using the Early Access programs, but Ensemble is not included in the options I can choose. I have also tried installing various versions of IRIS, but still, Ensemble is missing.

IRIS supports CCDA and FHIR transformations out-of-the-box, yet the ability to access and view those features requires considerable setup time and product knowledge. The IRIS Interop DevTools application was designed to bridge that gap, allowing implementers to immediately jump in and view the built-in transformation capabilities of the product. 

In addition to the IRIS XML, XPath, and CCDA Transformation environment, the Interop DevTools package now provides:

• FHIR-SDA Transformation setup
• SDA-FHIR Transformation setup
• Bubbling up of FHIR validation errors
• Loading of required context for

Hi Community,
In this article, I will introduce my application iris-fhir-bridge 
IRIS-FHIR-Bridge is a robust interoperability engine built on InterSystems IRIS for Health, designed to transform healthcare data across multiple formats into FHIR and vice versa. It leverages the InterSystems FHIR Object Model (HS.FHIRModel.R4.*) to enable smooth data standardization and exchange across modern and legacy healthcare systems.

Google Forms is the most popular solution on the market for collecting data, answering questionnaires and quizzes. So, it is the ideal solution for collecting patient data and responses in a practical way, without the need to expand or develop systems. In this article, I will detail how to create an account on Google Cloud, register the application that will consume the Google Forms API, generate the service user necessary to consume the API and finally perform actions to create new forms and collect data filled in them in an automated way in embedded Python and IRIS.

Profiling CCD Documents with LEAD North’s CCD Data Profiler
Ever opened a CCD and been greeted by a wall of tangled XML? You’re not alone. Despite being a core format for clinical data exchange, CCD's are notoriously dense, verbose, and unfriendly to the human eye. For developers and analysts trying to validate their structure or extract meaningful insights, navigating these documents can feel more like archaeology than engineering.

Introducing the CCD Data Profiler
LEAD North’s CCD Data Profiler is a full-stack tool built with Intersystems' technology that streamlines the import, parsing,

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 was wondering if it was possible to use something like EnsLib.SQL.InboundAdapter with tables in IRIS.

This library monitors when a record has been inserted into a table in an external database, so it requires a DSN to connect to that database.

My goal is to make a call to an external API that takes a long time, it could spend nearly an hour (or more) completing its processes, but I don't want to block the main process.

That's why I was thinking about having the original production store the indicators it needs to process in a table, and from another production, monitor when a

Template engines are essential for producing customizable dynamic content, without the need for compilation and opening up great possibilities of extensibility for the template user.Especially if the template engine supports Python.A popular solution for template engine is Mko.It is is a template library written in Python.It provides a familiar, non-XML syntax which compiles into Python modules for maximum performance.Mako's syntax and API borrows from the best ideas of many others, including Django and Jinja2 templates, Cheetah, Myghty, and Genshi.

Hello everyone,

I’m using VS Code with the InterSystems ObjectScript extension and I want to keep my local folder (client-side) as the “source of truth” while still using the built-in Server Source Control features (diff, stage, commit, etc.) against my IRIS/Ensemble instance.

So far:

• I have a local Git repository with my .cls and .mac files.
• I’ve configured "objectscript.serverSourceControl.respectEditableStatus": true and "objectscript.serverSourceControl.disableOtherActionTriggers": false in my .vscode/settings.json.
• I’m able to export and import code manually, and IntelliSense works when

I understand that changing the user in the management portal does not change the password set up in the installation to access the web management gateway if anyone has

Let me introduce you to FHIRCraft, a lightweight tool to generate synthetic FHIR resources.

Now, you might be thinking:
“But wait — doesn’t Synthea already do that, and with tons of resources?”
Exactly — and that’s precisely why I created this app.

FHIRCraft is designed to generate simpler, smaller, and more focused FHIR resources. Unlike Synthea, it doesn’t aim to simulate entire patient histories or clinical workflows. Instead, it helps when you’re just getting started with FHIR — when you want to test things incrementally, or explore how specific resources behave in isolation.

Hi all,

My team is exploring options for handling timezone offsets in DTL and we’re wondering if there are any built-in methods available — ideally low-code or no-code solutions. Specifically, we're looking for a way to adjust timestamps based on the date and whether Daylight Saving Time (DST) is in effect.

For example, if an HL7 message has an MSH-7 value of 20250518144529, it should be converted to 20250518144529-0500 (Central Daylight Time), but if the timestamp were 20250218144529, it should be 20250218144529-0600 (Central Standard Time).

We’re fairly new to InterSystems and want to make

I am testing vectorsearch, while doing so I am trying to paginate my resultset for a "next page" function to give me the first, second, third 15 entries within a table. 

For this I have two embedding classes. One with a HNSW Index (vectornomicembedtextlatest) , and one without (vectornomicembedtexttest).

Calling SELECT ID,PRIMKEY FROM SQLUser.vectornomicembedtexttest LIMIT 5 OFFSET 1 works fine with the first entry having the rowID of 486448. (I deleted old entries in the beginning and reused the table)

SELECT ID,PRIMKEY FROM SQLUser.vectornomicembedtexttest ORDER BY PRIMKEY DESC LIMIT 5 OFFSET
