• Learn the architecture, configuration, and management of HealthShare Unified Care Record.
• This 5-day course teaches HealthShare Unified Care Record users and integrators the HealthShare Unified Care Record architecture and administration tasks. 
• The course also includes how to install HealthShare Unified Care Record. 
• This course is intended for HealthShare Unified Care Record developers, integrators, administrators and managers.

In our previous article, we explored the basics of unit testing in IRIS and the ways to apply it to a REST API. We even figured out how to test logic before finalizing network configurations and authentication, allowing us to focus solely on testing the API contents. Today, we will build upon that foundation and elevate our unit testing strategy by using another tool: %Populate .

At first glance, the %Populate class appears to be very simple. You can create a class that extends both %Persistent and %Populate and inherit a Populate method designed to generate randomized records.

We have a long running InterSystems Engine with an Interface Development Team.  We have implemented basic interface and code development processes using mostly manually created helper tasks and functions.
We are looking to upgrade these processes by installing and starting to use Embedded GIT in our DEV spaces first.  We will not use it to deploy changes to PRODUCTION at first, keeping our same current process that the team is very comfortable with.  
We plan to start by using the BASIC mode in GIT, to avoid confusion over multiple branches and other version control functions.

What tools or techniques do you use to debug a Production during development? I know the Management Portal shows the message queue and event log, but I'm wondering if there are better ways to trace a message through the full BS > BP > BO flow without relying only on logs.

Hello,

Looking for some additional help, maybe someone who has experience with this before, in setting up and configuring the Web Gateway with Kerberos.

Have read through the documentation (at the link below) and it's a good start but seems there are some details missing, or I'm not clear on. 

Questions: 

• Is there a external enterprise Kerberos server required, or is this set up contained within the local server?
• Is there a step-by-step instructions on what to do and configure to successfully complete this?
• Are there there config changes necessary for Apache?

Hello everyone, I am working with the VSCode extension by connecting to clients' IRIS servers remotely with my personal user (pdileo). However, one of the development environments was recently updated and my user was created for the second time with a different password.

I noticed that the VSCode extension no longer allows me to log in because the password has been changed, without asking me for a new one, only showing the 401 AxiosError.

Welcome back to a series of introductory articles on AI Hub, the new product feature currently in an early access program! (links: EAP Site for download, documentation)

In the last article, we covered how to create agents and agent tools directly in ObjectScript using the new %AI classes. However, sometimes, instead of creating a new agent, you just want to add some custom tools to an existing agent so you can ask your local claude code, codex, copilot or other agent of choice to query your data directly. This is where MCP Servers might come in.

Hi Community,

In traditional InterSystems SQL, I can use the %NOINDEX keyword during a bulk INSERT to improve performance and then run BUILD INDEX %ALL afterward to populate the indices.

I am looking to implement a similar strategy for an InterSystems FHIR Server.

1. Is there a way to import/save FHIR resources while skipping the search table extraction (the FHIR version of %NOINDEX)?
2. Once the data is loaded, what is the correct programmatic way to "rebuild" the search tables?

Thank you!

Hi Community,

Interoperability metrics were enabled for a production using ##class(Ens.Util.Statistics).EnableSAMForNamespace(). However, after running DisableSAMForNamespace() and DisableStatsForProduction(), the metrics continue to appear in the endpoint output.

Is there a way to completely stop these interoperability metrics from displaying in the API metrics stream? Is there an additional step or cache clear required?

I'm connecting to Intersystems Cache database using Intersystems JDBC Driver. There are several network interfaces on client host. I need to make all the Cache traffic to go through a particular interface. Is there a way to choose which network interface to use for Cache connection via JDBC Driver API or somehow via Java code? The approach to use ip route add is suitable but I'm looking for a Java-way like setLocalAddress() on some APIs or something.

Hi community.

How do i count distinct values over cumulative date dimension?

I got calculated measure function defined in cube: COUNT([dimension].[H1].[dimension].Members, EXCLUDEEMPTY)

[dimension].[H1].[dimension] = non-unique numerical fields of ids

Then i got AGGREGATION function defined in Analyzer (that stored in ^DeepSee.CalcMbrs):

AGGREGATE(%TIMERANGE(TimeDimension.hierarchy.level,TimeDimension.hierarchy.level.CurrentMember),Measures.Measure)

This return an error:

ERROR #5001: No member provider object found for member function: MEMBER(5)

All syntax is correct. I checked it twice.

Hey Community,

We're pleased to invite everyone to the upcoming Kick-off Webinar for InterSystems Programming Contest: AI Agents for FHIR!

With Embedded Python and the Native API, it is becoming increasingly natural to write part of IRIS application logic in Python. But one question quickly comes up: how can you manipulate IRIS persistent objects from Python without losing the connection to the native object model, class dictionary, indexes, storage, and SQL projections?

iris-persistence explores that question. The project provides a Python object persistence layer for InterSystems IRIS, inspired by %Persistent

I am working on a cache database query. Since the cache database doesn't support CTE I am using joins to calculate data. The issue is that aggregated data is only calculated for one where the condition for each row in the union. For eg. only the 'Prop decisioned' row is calculated others are always 0. There are many more case conditions.

Hello everyone,

As part of our recent initiative to modernize our observability stack, we have successfully transitioned our InterSystems IRIS logging framework to a structured JSON format. Now we need to dynamically enrich these logs with business-critical metadata specifically, theTenant ID.

We have this configmap to enable Json logs:

apiVersion: v1 
kind: ConfigMap
metadata: 
	name: iris-cpf-merge  
	namespace: {{ .Release.Namespace }}
data:  
	merge.cpf: |    
	[Logging]    
	ChildProcessLaunchCommand=/usr/irissys/bin/irislogd -f /tmp/messages.json    
	Format=JSON    
	Enabled=1

 I’m exploring deployment options for InterSystems IRIS in cloud environments such as AWS or Azure.

What deployment architectures, scaling strategies, or infrastructure best practices are commonly recommended by the community? I’d also appreciate guidance regarding high availability, backups, and monitoring in cloud-based deployments.

IRIS is installed and running in an Ubuntu VM.

Visual Studio Code is being used in the host Windows OS and is connected to the IRIS server.

When attempting to execute commands with sudo from the InterSystems Lite Terminal in VSCode using $ZF(-100), error code 127 is returned.

I tried configuring Ubuntu to avoid password prompts by adding the following line to /etc/sudoers.tmp:

ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

However, the above configuration did not work.

Is there a way to execute sudo commands from InterSystems IRIS Production ObjectScript code in Ubuntu?

Good afternoon,

I have received a WSDL.

I have imported it successfully in HealthShare.

The external is requesting me to send messages with the following structure (using the auto-generated SOAP Bussiness Operation from the WSDL), as you see they need a custom http header titled "Appian-API-Key", as the following:

            curl --request POST \
              --url [ endpoint ] \
              --header 'Appian-API-Key:  << API KEY >> \
              --header 'Content-Type: application/xml' \
              --data '<?xml version='\''1.0'\'' encoding='\''utf-8'\''?>
            <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv='\''http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'\''>
              <soapenv:Body>
                <tns:acceptMessage xmlns:tns='\''http://ws.connectors.connect.mirth.com/'\''>
                <![CDATA[  Message  ]]>
                </tns:acceptMessage>
              </soapenv:Body>
            </soapenv:Envelope>'

Hello everyone.

After trying to run Python methods in the intersystemsdc/irishealth-community Docker container, which no longer allows any Python methods to be executed, I decided to abandon this version and start working with containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/iris-community.

In this environment, the Python methods work, which was a significant improvement.

I'm trying to import my libraries with pip install -r requirements.txt
