Introduction

Since InterSystems has recently announced the discontinuation of support for InterSystems Studio starting from version 2023.2 in favor of exclusive development of extensions for the Visual Studio Code (VSC) IDE, believing that the latter offers a superior experience compared to Studio, many of us developers have switched or are beginning to use VSC. Many may have wondered how to open the Terminal to perform operations, as VSC does not have an Output panel like Studio did, nor an integrated feature to open the IRIS terminal, except by downloading the plugins developed by InterSystems.

Hello everybody,

I would like to export project contents using Visual Studio Code, as well as I do with InterSystems Studio.

However, while attempting the export through the InterSystems extension I get the following error:

- There are no folders in the current workspace that code can be exported to.

These are the step to reproduce my error:

Hi Community,

It seems our Developer Community AI has decided to take a coffee break ☕️ (probably after answering one too many tricky ObjectScript questions).

The importance of the coffee break

For now, it’s gone mysteriously silent and refuses to generate answers. We suspect it might be rethinking its life choices after reading one too many deeply philosophical ObjectScript questions.

Hi,

It's me again😁, recently I am working on generating some fake patient data for testing purpose with the help of Chat-GPT by using Python. And, at the same time I would like to share my learning curve.😑

1st of all for building a custom REST api service is easy by extending the %CSP.REST

Creating a REST Service Manually

Let's Start !😂

Hi:

I see a lot of cool REST apps and i'm trying to host something in the TIE using REST/Axios with VITE.

At the moment i will probably host the application in web applications in Intersytems.

For authorisation and getting the logged in user and password to any app, is there a standard people are doing?

I.e. for axios you might have this from the app

Deploying new IRIS instances can be a time-consuming task, especially when setting up multiple environments with mirrored configurations.

I’ve encountered this issue many times and want to share my experience and recommendations for using Ansible to streamline the IRIS installation process. My approach also includes handling additional tasks typically performed before and after installing IRIS.

I know the next ones:

1. Place all different settings in environment variables. You have a different .env file for each environment, and you must add some code to Production for reading and setting these values. It's good for deploying into containers, but challenging for management when we have a large production. I mean, we have many settings that can vary depending on the environment: active flag, pool size, timeouts, and so on. Not only endpoints.

The ObjectScript language has incredible JSON support through classes like %DynamicObject and %JSON.Adaptor. This support is due to the JSON format's immense popularity over the previous dominance of XML. JSON brought less verbosity to data representation and increased readability for humans who needed to interpret JSON content. To further reduce verbosity and increase readability, the YAML format was created. The very easy-to-read YAML format quickly became the most popular format for representing configurations and parameterizations, due to its readability and minimal verbosity.

Introduction

In my previous article, I introduced the FHIR Data Explorer, a proof-of-concept application that connects InterSystems IRIS, Python, and Ollama to enable semantic search and visualization over healthcare data in FHIR format, a project currently participating in the InterSystems External Language Contest.

In this follow-up, we’ll see how I integrated Ollama for generating patient history summaries directly from structured FHIR data stored in IRIS, using lightweight local language models (LLMs) such as Llama 3.2:1B or Gemma 2:2B.

The goal was to build a completely local AI pipeline that can extract, format, and narrate patient histories while keeping data private and under full control.

All patient data used in this demo comes from FHIR bundles, which were parsed and loaded into IRIS via the IRIStool module. This approach makes it straightforward to query, transform, and vectorize healthcare data using familiar pandas operations in Python. If you’re curious about how I built this integration, check out my previous article Building a FHIR Vector Repository with InterSystems IRIS and Python through the IRIStool module.

Both IRIStool and FHIR Data Explorer are available on the InterSystems Open Exchange — and part of my contest submissions. If you find them useful, please consider voting for them!

Introduction

In a previous article, I presented the IRIStool module, which seamlessly integrates the pandas Python library with the IRIS database. Now, I'm explaining how we can use IRIStool to leverage InterSystems IRIS as a foundation for intelligent, semantic search over healthcare data in FHIR format.

This article covers what I did to create the database for another of my projects, the FHIR Data Explorer. Both projects are candidates in the current InterSystems contest, so please vote for them if you find them useful.

You can find them at the Open Exchange:

In this article we'll cover:

  • Connecting to InterSystems IRIS database through Python
  • Creating a FHIR-ready database schema
  • Importing FHIR data with vector embeddings for semantic search

Hi everyone! 👋
I’m excited to share the project I’ve submitted to the current InterSystems .Net, Java, Python, and JavaScript Contest — it’s called IRIStool and Data Manager, and you can find it on the InterSystems Open Exchange and on my GitHub page.

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?

Hey Community,

The InterSystems team put on our monthly Developer Meetup with a triumphant return to CIC's Venture Café, the crowd including both new and familiar faces. Despite the shakeup in both location and topic, we had a full house of folks ready to listen, learn, and have discussions about health tech innovation!

I have a class that extends %CSP.REST which made I deployed using $system.OBJ.MakeClassDeployed. After upgrading IRIS, the web app which uses that class no longer works with an ObjectScript error.

In the past, I fixed that problem by adding a dummy new line or a comment then recompiled that class. For this deployed class, I can't add a new line and recompile the class (the code shows up as locked in Studio). Simply running $system.OBJ.compile() is not fixing the web app issue.

Is there a way to edit a deployed class then recompile it?

Background

For a variety of reasons, users may wish to mount a persistent volume on two or more pods spanning multiple availability zones. One such use case is to make data stored outside of IRIS available to both mirror members in case of failover.

Unfortunately the built-in storage classes in most Kubernetes implementations (whether cloud or on-prem) do not provide this capability:

For historic reasons we've got a mix of ADT feeds coming out of our PAS (TrakCare) to a wide range of downstream systems. In particular, there are some that are direct from TrakCare to the downstream systems, and many more that pass through Ensemble as our integration engine.

This is complicating management of the integrations, and so we'd like everything to go through the integration engine. In other words move from the flow in the top of the diagram to the flow in the bottom of the diagram:
