Hello everyone.

I have a question regarding the priority when applying a default configuration.

I have several Business Services that use the same class, so I want them all to have a common "Schedule" configuration.

However, there's one that I don't want this default configuration applied to, so I've tried setting the Schedule value to empty for that element based on its name:

In this case, the elements that use the class Kurro.BS.SFTP.Marca have the default value "CargaFicheros".

For the question in the Title, the AI Chat gave a response of:


The ‘Current Users’ value displayed by the $System.License.ShowSummary() method represents
real-time license usage tracked in shared memory on the local system.

We are trying to reconcile which user/process are associated with the counts that are returned.

Does anyone know how to get the detail of 'license usage tracked in shared memory on the local system.'?

Thanks you for your time.

- Patrick

I need to read first six characters from the filename we process in healthconnect, then need to insert these six characters in MSH-6 in the same HL7 message. (please note each file can have multiple HL7 messages with multiple MSH segments)

Is something can be done when first process the file, then insert first characters MSH-6?

Please advice if this is an easy fix.

Hello Community! As another great year comes to a close, I wanted to notify you about an upcoming change to the vscode-objectscript extension. In an effort to reduce the extension's footprint, simplify maintenance, and improve ease of use, InterSystems plans to remove some rarely-used configuration settings. Our telemetry tells us that these settings are changed from the default by fewer than 2% of users. However, before finalizing the removal I would like to give any users of these settings the opportunity to explain why a setting shouldn't be removed.

It was encouraging to see more people building VS Code extensions for the recent contest. However I noticed that of of the three extensions requiring credentials with which to make their connections only mine, gj :: dataLoader, leverages the long-established and officially-supported InterSystems Server Manager extension to obtain the connection definitions and to handle credentials securely.

The most upvoted idea on the InterSystems Ideas Portal—garnering 74 votes—requests a lightweight version of IRIS. While the platform has grown into a powerful data engine, many projects require only its SQL database capabilities. This article demonstrates how to build an unofficial, compact IRIS Community Edition image focused solely on core database functionality, reducing the image size by over 80%.

⚠️ Disclaimer

This project produces an unofficial, experimental image of InterSystems IRIS Community Edition.

  • Not supported or endorsed by InterSystems.
  • Use at your own risk. The modifications remove core platform features and may break compatibility with tools, APIs, and expected behaviors.
  • No warranties or guarantees apply, including fitness for production use.
  • Intended only for educational and experimental purposes by advanced users.

Why a Lightweight IRIS?

While IRIS today includes rich functionality—interoperability, analytics, machine learning, system management, etc.—many projects only require its core SQL capabilities. The official Community Edition Docker image is approximately:

  • Disk usage: 3.5–3.8 GB
  • Compressed size: ~1.1 GB

IRIS Light reduces that to:

  • Disk usage: ~575–583 MB
  • Compressed size: ~144–148 MB

This makes it suitable for:

  • Microservice or containerized SQL use
  • CI pipelines with faster startup and pull
  • Horizontal scaling where full features are unnecessary
