Hey Community,

Here are the bonuses for participants' articles that take part in the InterSystems Technical Article Contest 2025:

I'm experimenting with FHIR bulk data load using NDJSONs, so far the import is running smoothly, but when I'm trying to perform a request of kind /Patient or /Procedure I'm getting back the following error:

{
    "resourceType": "OperationOutcome",
    "issue": [
        {
            "severity": "error",
            "code": "too-costly",
            "diagnostics": "<HSFHIRErr>SearchTooCostly",
            "details": {
                "text": "Search selects more than maximum allowed number of results (1000)."
            }
        }
    ]
}

Is this a limitiation of IRIS for Health community

Inspiration

Mitigating climate change is only possible through a patchwork of collective action. The future of our planet will be determined by our ability to change previous destructive corporate processes radically. However, companies often struggle to find concrete solutions and actions to reduce their carbon footprint while advancing their business goals.

We partner with Race to Zero to create a climate action matcher.

Introduction

As the health interoperability landscape expands to include data exchange across on-premise as well as hosted solutions, we are seeing an increased need to integrate with services such as cloud storage. One of the most prolifically used and well supported tools is the NoSQL database DynamoDB (Dynamo), provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS).

The challenge for IRIS implementations, as it relates to Dynamo and other modern web services, is that there is no native support for interacting with Dynamo and AWS within ObjectScript.

Hello, dear colleagues.

I need to connect to a remote JavaGateway from an Ensemble service.

I am trying to use the EnsLib.JavaGateway.Service with a remote host where the JVM is running.

I can successfully ping the remote Java Gateway from EnsLib.JavaGateway.Service, and Ensemble reports that the service status is OK.

There are no network issues, and all necessary ports are accessible.

My requests work without any problems when I specify localhost in EnsLib.JavaGateway.Service. However, when I specify a remote JVM, I get the following error:

#5023: Error Java-gateway: Connection cannot be

Hi Folks,

I am an architect working on a program involving Weblink. I am new to InterSystems and I am looking for information around basic capabilities of Weblink. I understand that the version we are dealing with (2014) is not supported no need to review that :).

Thank you,

Using SQL Gateway with Python, Vector Search, and Interoperability in InterSystems Iris

Part 3 – REST and Interoperability

Now that we have finished the configuration of the SQL Gateway and we have been able to access the data from the external database via python, and we have set up our vectorized base, we can perform some queries. For this in this part of the article we will use an application developed with CSP, HTML and Javascript that will access an integration in Iris, which then performs the search for data similarity, sends it to LLM and finally returns the generated SQL. The CSP page calls an API in Iris that receives the data to be used in the query, calling the integration. For more information about REST in the Iris see the documentation available at https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cl…

Hi,

How to login Intersystems IRIS for Health SMP using SSO with OKTA auth.

I'm proud to announce the new release of iris-pex-embedded-python (v2.3.1) with a new command line interface.

This command line is called iop for Interoperability On Python.

First I would like to present in few words the project the main changes since the version 1.

A breif history of the project

Version 1.0 was a proof of concept to show how the interoperability framework of IRIS can be used with a python first approach while remaining compatible with any existing ObjectScript code.

What does it mean? It means that any python developer can use the IRIS interoperability framework without any knowledge of ObjectScript.

Example :

from grongier.pex import BusinessOperation

class MyBusinessOperation(BusinessOperation):

    def on_message(self, request):
        self.log.info("Received request")

Great, isn't it?

Hi ,

I have a scheduler task and an associated class that works.

Class Sample.Util.CreateTask Extends (%SYS.Task.Definition, %Persistent)
{

Parameter PROPERTYVALIDATION = 1;

Parameter TaskName = "Sample.Util.CreateTask";

Method OnTask() As %Status
{
// Perform the logic
}

}

Is there a way to Enable or Disable the above task "CreateTask()" from an external function/Method/class ?

Hi,

Has anyone used 'IO-Redirect' package?

https://openexchange.intersystems.com/package/io-redirect

IRIS for me runs on a Linux server.

I want the package to be able to supply "answers" from a Linux OS file in response to a program run as follows:
do ^ADMIN
I'm assuming that the program does objectscript reads from the terminal

Questions

1. Is docker required? Docker is not installed on the server.
2. Would the package be able to handle redirect I/O in this case?
    Would I have to write extra code (objectscript) to read the Linux file as a "stream"?
3.How would I  install the package?

Hi colleagues!

Yet another time I figured that there is no super-simple way to display error from %Status variable, but I need it relatively often in a terminal.

Yes, I know about $$$ Macro, but they are not superhelpful in a terminal.

My usual behavior is to try to remember by heart or copy from somewhere the formula:

USER>w $System.Status.DisplayError(st)

The compile step in VS Code when using the InterSystems VS Code extensions appears to modify line endings in our class files when newly pulled from remote repo.

What steps can we take to stop this happening? / What settings can we modify?

We are doing local development with client side source control using git (BitBucket Cloud repository). We were previously using GitLab (locally hosted) and didn't have this issue. Developers are all on Windows machines, as are all the Ensemble instances. We believe we have autocrlf = true in all our local git configurations.

Steps to reproduce:

Hello, Does the NodeJs package work when running a node js file on windows (nodejs for windows)? I've added the package by running npm install <package location folder>

I have the following index.js file, but when running from node (windows) I get the following error. Does the NodeJs package build the output files when the package is added or does it just assume linux as the underlying os?

I have created a class file that I want to execute daily to gather Metrics (Message Header, Space Available, etc..) and write the data into a Cache table. Now that I have written the class I want to add it to the Task Scheduler within Ensemble to run every morning. How do I go about getting the class file created as a Task within the Task Scheduler? The Documentation isn't as clear cut for creating custom tasks as one would expect.

I already mentioned in a Previous post I am trying to build a list from a repeatable field within a HL7 message. I figured out how to build the list by using a context list string variable within the Business Process (BPL) and doing a

do context.<variable>.Insert = <value>

 when I am looping through the field. I want to do it one step farther though... I want to search the list to see if the value exists before I do the insert. I only want to insert if the value is different than what is in the list already.

IF$LF(context.Facilities,##class(Ens.Rule.FunctionSet).SubString(context.EpicDepartmentI

I have a repeatable field within HL7 that I want to create a List from. Do I have to initialize the List by using $LB, or can I just use $LI to keep adding on to the end of the list as it is looping through the field?

Hello,

as it took me some time to figure out what's wrong, I would like to share this experience, so that you do not fall into the same trap.

I've just noticed that if you name your package "code" (all lowercase), in a class using some embedded python using [Language = python], you'll face the <THROW> *%Exception.PythonException <PYTHON EXCEPTION> 246 <class 'ModuleNotFoundError'>: No module named 'code.basics'; 'code' is not a package

In 2023, according to IDC, Salesforce's market share in CRM reached 21.7%. This company owns a substantial amount of critical corporate business processes and data, so the InterSystems IRIS must have an interoperability connector to fetch data from the Salesforce data catalog. This article will show you how to get any data hosted by Salesforce and create an interoperation production to get data and send it to such targets as files and relational databases.
