Hi Community!

We’re excited to announce a brand-new sweepstakes. This time, the theme is:

💡 Initial Developer Experience 💡

We want to hear your thoughts on how we can make the very first steps with InterSystems technologies smoother, clearer, and more inspiring. Whether it’s documentation, onboarding, setup, or tutorials, your ideas can make a real difference!

Hi everyone,

I'm dealing with a situation where LOAD DATA operations — especially large batches with data inconsistencies — are consuming a lot of disk space. I've noticed that the same error messages are being repeatedly logged in the %SQL_Diag.Result and %SQL_Diag.Message tables, which is significantly increasing the size of the database.

One idea was to move these diagnostic tables to a separate database with a configured size limit, but before going down that path, I'd like to ask:

Hello,
I am currently facing the task of retrieving or sending HL7 messages from a web API. Since we only send HL7 messages via internal sockets, web APIs are relatively new to me.
The following is my plan for the new interface:

Hi,

I'd like to report a really strange behavior of the Intersystems Lite Terminal after executing a simple ObjectScript instruction.

From the Intersystems Lite terminal, execute the following instructions:

- Set uniqueId = "12345678_1"
- Set uniqueId = $p(uniqueId,"_",1)_"_"_($p(uniqueId,"_",*)+1)
After executing the second instruction, the terminal closes without any error.

Hey Community,

We’re excited to announce a significant update to the Developer Community AI Chat — it now comes with a brand-new interface!

With this update, your experience becomes smoother and more intuitive:

• Easier navigation through your chats
• Clearer history and answers at a glance
• Seamless context retention for natural conversations

Hey Community,

Hi Community,

Confidence and career advancement often go hand-in-hand, and certification is one way to create new pathways forward.

🤔How have you opened up new opportunities in your own career—training? certification? networking?

💭What's made you feel more confident in your role?

Members of our InterSystems certified community recently reflected on how certification has shaped their careers and outlook. Share your own story in the comments!

I am looking to view the contents of the request object I am sending from my Service into my BPL in Message Viewer. My request contains references to other defined classes.

We require automatic injection of security predicates at runtime, depending on the user or API token. Is there a supported or hackable mechanism to manipulate SQL parsing/compilation before execution?

InterSystems IRIS Community Edition HAOS Add-On

Run InterSystems IRIS inside of Home Assistant, as an add-on. Before you dismiss this article possibly under the guise that this is just a gimmick, Id like you to step back and take a look at how easy it is to launch IRIS based applications using this platform. If you look at Open Exchange, you will see dozens of dozens of applications worthy of launching while they are basically hung out to dry as gitware, and launchable if you want to get into a laptop battle with containerd or Docker. With a simple git repo, and a specification, you can now build your app on IRIS, and make it launchable through a marketplace with limited hassle to your end users. Run it along side Ollama and the LLM/LAM implementations, expose anything in IRIS as a sensor or expose an endpoint for interaction in your IRIS app to interact with anything you've connected to HAOS. Wanna restart an IRIS production with a flick of a physical switch or Assisted AI? You can do it with this add-on, or your own, right alongside the home automation hackers.

We are trying to mark a hl7 nack as "completed" to ignore an error and not generate the alert.

We can remove from adding a managed alert or add another router in

When Nack of CR of

Date of birth in PID.7 must not be empty

We tried via this but i think it's only for an actual IRIS alert errror not the HL7 error code/description

E*Date of birth in PID.7 must not be empty=C,:?CR=C,:?R=RF,:?E=S,:~=S,:?A=C,:*=S,:I?=W,:T?=C

Hi all,

Let's do some more work about the testing data generation and export the result by REST API.😁

Here, I would like to reuse the datagen.restservice class which built in the pervious article Writing a REST api service for exporting the generated patient data in .csv

This time, we are planning to generate a FHIR bundle include multiple resources for testing the FHIR repository.

$System.Util.GetEnviron("USERPROFILE") returns "C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile". I don't know what that is, but that folder doesn't even exist. The correct value which I need is "C:\Users\robert.steed", as seen via the Windows command line "set" command.

Hi,

We have some concerns on how to implement FHIR, do we do facade?, how do we get resources?, what is a resource?, is a resource "Patient" or an instance of a patient?, How can we have a FHIR repository AND send the patient details to healthshare MPI?

Has anyone correctly created a FHIR server that has custom methods?, handles "normal" methods and forwards onto Healthshare MPI , processing the response and creates a accurate FHIR response back to the calling system.
