Hi Community,

We’re excited to introduce the AskMe assistant—try it out for yourself!

The InterSystems IRIS is a great data platform and it is met the current features required by the market. In this article, you see the top 10:

Note: this list was updated because many features are added to IRIS in last 3 years (thanks @Kristina.

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? 

Thanks

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

I disabled SourceControl in Management portal and nothing happen.

I cloned iris-rag-demo from Open Exchange and issued docker-compose up -d. I went to the front end and type in the chat message:

I got a run time error:

I cloned @Yuri Marx's langchain-iris-tool repo and typed docker-compose up -d. I see error message:

I added extra OBX segments and I need to renumber OBX 4 so they are sequential.

Hey Community,

⏯ Supply Chain Orchestrator Demo

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.

Looking to download IRIS for health 2024.1 software 

Dear Community,

I need to collect a file from an FTP server over FTPS.

I have the :

• credentials saved correctly
• correct host and port informatoin
• correct filepath I am trying to collect from
• I have setup the SSL configuration in  System > Security Management > SSL/TLS Configurations and this tests sucessfully

When I run the business service to connect it connects, but soon after connecting it fails to open the directory:

I have written a new script for csv file export, which writes lines to a %Library.File file based on a SQL query.

The code is simplified into the following as 

try {
    // set up file as %Libary.File
    set f = ##class(%Library.File).%New()
    set f.Name = "export.csv"
    if (##class(%File).Exists(f.Name)) { $$$ThrowOnError(##class(%File).Delete(f.Name)) }
    $$$ThrowOnError(f.Open("WUN"))
    $$$ThrowOnError(f.

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:

Say I have an ObjectScript object called Book. It has 2 properties title and author. It extends JSON.%Adaptor, so I can call book.
