Introduction

The InterSystems IRIS Data Platform has long been known for its performance, interoperability, and flexibility across programming languages. For years, developers could use IRIS with Python, Java, JavaScript, and .NET — but Go (or Golang) developers were left waiting.

Golang Logo

That wait is finally over.

The new go-irisnative driver brings GoLang support to InterSystems IRIS, implementing the standard database/sql API. This means Go developers can now use familiar database tooling, connection pooling, and query interfaces to build applications powered by IRIS.

Why GoLang Support Matters

GoLang is a language designed for simplicity, concurrency, and performance — ideal for cloud-native and microservices-based architectures. It powers some of the world’s most scalable systems, including Kubernetes, Docker, and Terraform.

Bringing IRIS into the Go ecosystem enables:

  • Lightweight, high-performance services using IRIS as the backend.
  • Native concurrency for parallel query execution or background processing.
  • Seamless integration with containerized and distributed systems.
  • Idiomatic database access through Go’s database/sql interface.

This integration makes IRIS a perfect fit for modern, cloud-ready Go applications.

With the rapid adoption of telemedicine, remote consultations, and digital dictation, healthcare professionals are communicating more through voice than ever before. Patients engaging in virtual conversations generate vast amounts of unstructured audio data, so how can clinicians or administrators search and extract information from hours of voice recordings?

I was really surprised that such a flexible integration platform with a rich toolset specifically for app connections has no out-of-the-box Enterprise Service Bus solution. Like, I don’t know, Mule ESB… What’s the reason? What do you think? Has this pattern lost its relevance completely nowadays?

Is there any way of saving a representation of the results of a query created in the Message Viewer to a file - most obviously CSV.

We are reasonably adept at creating queries. We'd like to be able to send the output to a file, rather than resorting to cut'n'pasting from the message viewer window...

Is this possible? (on any version of Ensemble/Iris?)

Desired output to file something like:

Why This Matters

Managing IAM can be tedious when done manually — especially when your APIs are already well-documented using OpenAPI (Swagger) specs. Wouldn't it be great if you could automatically generate Kong services and routes directly from your OpenAPI spec?

That's exactly what this ObjectScript method does: it reads an OpenAPI 2.0 spec stored in the XData block of your spec class and generates a decK-compatible YAML file that can be used to sync your IAM configuration.

Some languages ​​have the concept of a garbage collector for automatic memory management. I'd like to know if something like this exists in InterSystems Caché in the context of routines, %CSP.REST, or %CSP.Page.

The question arises from the %Close() method of the %RegisteredObject class. This indicates that I need to manually clear the object from memory if it's no longer in use, or in the web context, if the request has completed. Is this correct? Or am I completely wrong?

Thank you!

InterSystems FAQ rubric

The ^%GCMP utility can be used to compare the contents of two globals.

For example, to compare ^test and ^test in the USER and SAMPLES namespaces, it would look like this:
*In the example below, 700 identical globals are created in the two namespaces, and the contents of one of them is changed to make it the detection target.

Hi community,

A colleague gets ERROR #822: Access denied every time he tries to log in via Management portal. It is NOT the case of wrong credentials: I reset his password password to a temporary one so it would prompt him to create a new one upon first login. He did get the prompt, changed his password and his next attempt at logging in displayed the same error.

I am truly excited to continue my "InterSystems for Dummies" series of articles, and today, we want to tell you everything about one of the most powerful features we have for interoperability.

Hey, even if you have already had a go, we plan to take a really close look at how to get the most out of them and make our production even better.

I'm trying to access the Bearer token from the Authorization header in my REST service class, but I'm getting a 500 Internal Server Error when I try to use %request.GetCgiEnv("HTTP_AUTHORIZATION").

My Environment:

  • InterSystems ensemble 2018
  • Using EnsLib.REST.Service with HTTP Inbound Adapter
  • REST API URL: http://ip:port/api-kiosk/patientData

My Code:

objectscript

Starting out with ObjectScript, it is really exciting, but it can also feel a little unusual if you're used to other languages. Many beginners trip over the same hurdles, so here are a few "gotchas" you'll want to watch out for. (Also few friendly tips to avoid them)

NAMING THINGS RANDOMLY

We have all been guilty of naming something Test1 or MyClass just to move on quickly. But once your project grows, these names become a nightmare.

I joined InterSystems less than a year ago. Diving into ObjectScript and IRIS was exciting, but also full of small surprises that tripped me up at the beginning. In this article I collect the most common mistakes I, and many new colleagues, make, explain why they happen, and show concrete examples and practical fixes. My goal is to help other new developers save time and avoid the same bumps in the road.

Welcome, dear members of the Community!

In this article, we will present an example of a project implementing a FHIR-based solution. This project will be based on the national project (Spanish national project), known as ÚNICAS.

What is ÚNICAS?

In his own words:

A project whose objective is to create an ecosystem of partnerships to improve healthcare for pediatric patients with complex rare diseases (RMDs). This project is being implemented through the network within the National Health System (NHS) to improve the diagnosis and care of patients with rare diseases.

Another step in this implementation path, adding cross cloud, cross regional stretched IrisCluster with Mirroring + Disaster Recovery using the Intersystems Kubernetes Operator (IKO) and Tailscale

Though trivial, Id like to go multi-cloud with the stretched IrisCluster for a couple of reasons to socialize the power of Wireguard when it supplies the network for a properly zoned IrisCluster by adding another mirror role to Amazon Web Services in the Western United States based datacenter in Oregon.

At the moment, we have 10 HealthShare instance servers (5 x mirrored pairs), where we implement an External Backup approach, using the freeze/thaw commands against whichever server of the pair is the backup mirror member, to complete a VM level backup. These backups are stored to a disk within our control, to purge as required. This approach allows us to deliver a zero downtime backup approach.

InterSystems IRIS Data Platform is a comprehensive, multi-model, multi-workload data platform that is ideal for accommodating the challenging requirements of applications for the Internet of Things. It is a complete platform for developing, executing, and maintaining IoT applications in a single, consistent, unified environment. It features a distributed architecture to support massive data-ingest rates and data volumes, while providing the flexibility and durability of an enterprise-grade transactional multi-model database to ingest, process, and persist data from a wide range of devices in different formats. It features a complete set of integration, event-processing, and integrated analytics capabilities, including full SQL support and text processing, business process orchestration, and a standards-based development environment.

Connect to, ingest, and persist a wide range of disparate device data types and formats

The data types associated with IoT applications are often heterogeneous, as they may originate from various devices with diverse functions and manufactured by different vendors. The underlying data platform must be able to ingest and process a wide range of raw data types in their original formats. Many applications also require the data platform to persist all of the disparate source data to detect deviations from normal ranges, accommodate downstream ad hoc analytics, maintain regulatory compliance, and fulfill other purposes.

Hello community,

is anybody located in the DACH area healthcare sector working with Dedalus Orbis as patient master and uses a custom HL7 schema for parsing Orbis message structures into Health Connect?

We're facing a migration and I ask myself if I have to create a schema by myself, based on the pdf documentation given by the company. This is a tedious task, so hopefully there is somebody out there willing to share his or her experience.

Kind regards,

Martin

Introduction

HL7 messages often contain multiple repeating segments such as NTE, AL1, OBX, ZTX, DG1, and others. These segments sometimes require individual processing and routing to different downstream systems. This technical paper introduces a configurable template designed to automate the splitting of these repeating HL7 segments, improving message handling and integration efficiency.
