Hi Community,

Hi guys,
Would like to replace our scheduled Tasks to instead run in a production, so basically the same code running in OnTask () to be instead called in a Business Service (I guess) and use the Interval filed to specify the iteration, so with adapter would be suitable in this case, and I noticed the Schedule filed as well but not sure how to use it?

Hi - I'm refreshing my IRIS instance, now upgraded to 2025.1, and ensuring IPM is installed in each namespace, as well as git-source-control, but in my first attempt I get this error.
Everything else seems to work - but why the error (I'd like to get rid of it) ?
zpm:AULIBRARY>install git-source-control [AULIBRARY|git-source-control] Initialize START [AULIBRARY|git-source-control] Initialize SUCCESS [AULIBRARY|git-source-control] Reload START (C:\InterSystems\IRIS\mgr\Temp\VTigyGg\) [AULIBRARY|git-source-control] Reload SUCCESS [git-source-control] Module object refreshed.
I read the article by @Rodolfo Pscheidt Jr:
https://community.intersystems.com/post/ollama-ai-iris
I forked his app and copied selected files from @Guillaume Rongier iris-rag-demo to make it containerized:
ollama-ai-iris/test_conn.py at 3da62770a90e34eff92241abbfc4f2c2a7027898 · oliverwilms/ollama-ai-iris
I struggle to understand what each element is or I do not understand why the code does not work:
url = f"iris://teste:teste@localhost:51774/TESTE"
Is teste:teste refer to username / password? I tried _SYSTEM:SYS
Is 51774 webserver port? Is TESTE namespace?
i have a line in my *.scr file like this:
send: s rlt=##class(%SYS.Namespace).ListAll(.rlt)<CR>
wait for:USER>
send: S A="" F S A=$O(rlt(A)) q:A="" I A["USER"!(A["CLIE") F I=1:1:$L(L,",") S G="^["""_A_"""]"_$P(L,",",I) S B="" F S B=$O(@G@(B)) Q:B="" F J=1:1:$L(B) S V=$A($E(B,J,J)) I (V<48!(V>57))&&(V<65!(V>90))&&(V<97!(V>122)) W A,?10,G,?30,B,!<CR>
wait for:USER>
it errors out with this <SYNTAX> error where the "<" or ">" are not accepted.
I (V057))&&(VA90))&&(Va122)) W A,?10,G,?30,B,!
How do I escape these characters so that my script works??
Thanks

Hi all,
I can't find the list of business host setting sections and (crucially) how to refer to them in the SETTINGS parameter, as marked in purple here:
Parameter SETTINGS = "MySetting:Basic";
Does anyone know where this list lives?

After upgrading from 2024 to 2025 Im not able to compile any class.
I was using ZPM and git-source-control.
Now Im getting

Hey Community,
Enjoy the new video on InterSystems Developers YouTube:
For my hundredth article on the Developer Community, I wanted to present something practical, so here's a comprehensive implementation of the GPG Interoperability Adapter for InterSystems IRIS.
Every so often, I would encounter a request for some GPG support, so I had several code samples written for a while, and I thought to combine all of them and add missing GPG functionality for a fairly complete coverage. That said, this Business Operation primarily covers data actions, skipping management actions such as key generation, export, and retrieval as they are usually one-off and performed manually anyways. However, this implementation does support key imports for obvious reasons. Well, let's get into it.
Hello Developers,
I have MacBook Pro M3 and I'm new to the IRIS for Health setup / installation with all pre-requisite / requirements so someone could please help me with detailed instructions on how to setup IRIS for Health (HL7 & FHIR) from scratch along with SQL Server? I have Windows 11 installed in parallel desktop if that's required and complete installation / setup is not possible on MacBook.
Thank you in advance.

InterSystems IRIS 2025.2.0 introduces several features to improve the user experience of configuring OAuth2.
- OAuth2 is now a native authentication type and can be easily enabled for your services and web applications. Previously, OAuth2 was a type of delegated authentication.
- You can now create resource servers with the new OAuth2.ResourceServer class, which simplifies resource server configuration significantly. Previously, resource servers were instances of OAuth2.Client.
- The OAuth2.

Hi all,
I noticed today that when adding a namespace (localhost) to the Workplace in VS Code, it is being created as read-only.
I haven’t encountered this issue before - previously, I was able to add the namespace with full access and could edit files without any problems. The settings appear to be the same as before.

Interested in sharing your thoughts? Sign up to participate here.
I know that people who are completely new to VS Code, Git, Docker, FHIR, and other tools can sometimes struggle with setting up the environment. So I decided to write an article that walks through the entire setup process step by step to make it easier to get started.
I’d really appreciate it if you could leave a comment at the end - let me know if the instructions were clear, if anything was missing, or if there’s anything else you'd find helpful.
The setup includes:
✅ VS Code – Code editor
✅ Git – Version control system
✅ Docker – Runs an instance of IRIS for Health Community
✅ VS Code REST Client Extension – For running FHIR API queries
✅ Python – For writing FHIR-based scripts
✅ Jupyter Notebooks – For AI and FHIR assignments
Before you begin: Ensure you have administrator privileges on your system.
In addition to reading the guide, you can also follow the steps in the videos:
For Windows
If you look at the values.yaml of the IKO's Helm chart you'll find:
useIrisFsGroup: false Let's break down what it is and in what situations you may want to set it to true.
FsGroup refers to the file system group.
By default, Kubernetes volumes are owned by root, but we need IRIS to own its files (IRIS in containers is installed under irisowner user). To get around this we employ one of two methods:
The initContainers run before app containers (like IRIS) in a pod. They generally set up the environment for the application and then run to completion/terminate.
There is a list of numbers from 1 to 190.
AllList="1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,.....,187,188,189,190"
There is a collection of sets of these values:
List(1)="3,5,6,7,9"
List(2)="1,2,6,9"
List(3)="5,8,9"
List(4)="2,4,6,8"
List(5)="4,7,9"
What is an elegant approach in Object Script to pick the least number of list items:
That together would cover as many numbers as possible from the AllList.
Interested in best coverage over efficiency.

We are pretty new to Ensemble and we are considering on using a default setup for our production. Let me explain the situation. We have one sender that sends HL7 ADT messages to our system. We have 60+ other systems that need to recieve ADT messages. We where thinking on a few ways on how to do the setup.
Setup1:
We create one big ADTRouter that contains a first mapping. The result is send to another big ADTRouter that contains all the filters/expressions and mappings for the recieving systems.
I need to remove multiple languages from the language selection drop down which appears at top of Navigation app top bar. I need to keep only English.
Is there any way I can do that?
Or I can completly remove the language option?
