Hi all,
I'm trying to learn Intersystems Iris. And I have a question.
How can I use left arrow key with if function. Also if it is possible, teach me that how can I make backspace to edit data?
P.S Sorry for bad English.
new var,key,curPos
w $char(27)_"[2J"_$char(27)_"[H"
s var="12345abcde"
s curPos=$length(var)+1
w $char(27)_"[3;1H"_"First var= "_var
for {
read *key
#; Left Arrow Key
if key="?" {
}
#; Right Arrow Key
elseif key="?" {
}
#; Backspace
elseif key=8 {
}
elseif key=9 {
quit
}
}
w !,"Last var= ",var
Kind Regards,
Ikh

This time, it’s not really programming per se, but we are using React as a front-end development tool for IRIS. When using a web development framework—not limited to React—one key consideration is which CSS framework to use. Up until now, we’ve been using Bootstrap, which is the standard and the easiest to get started with.

However, while it’s easy to use, I felt that it offers limited flexibility for customization. That said, even if we were to switch to another CSS framework, learning it and rewriting everything from scratch would be a significant effort, so we left things as they were.

Is your source control treating your InterSystems IRIS environment like a simple collection of files? Most source control tools lack the native intelligence to handle InterSystems IRIS, which is why your code is treated as such. 

Deltanji is different. It understands how code and other artifacts are stored within IRIS and can manage them directly. This eliminates the friction that other tools introduce to the process. 

Join us for an InterSystems-hosted webinar to see how Deltanji provides an enterprise-grade source control solution that is tightly integrated with your IRIS environment.

I am trying to built a Task that kicks off a Workflow to pull data into HSPD, and when I try to test the Task

I keep getting TestTask+3^OSU.Workday.TerminationsTask.1 *%Exception.StatusException ERROR <Ens>ErrConfigDisabled: Configuration item 'OSU.DataSource.Workday.TermService' is disabled

But within the Namespace the OSU.DataSource.Workday.TermService shows enabled.

Here is my Task that I am using...

Class OSU.Workday.TerminationsTask Extends %SYS.

I have two RHEL 9.7 servers.  One is running intersystems in docker no problem. But, I have now tried two other servers RHEL 9.7 one, podman and one docker and I get the following.
 

I need to translate these labels on the Whole Record page view:

Anyone knows how to do it?
Thanks

We are working on Disk Consolidation and looking at Class/Globals that are rather large and not being cleaned up by the nightly Purge process. We have implemented DeleteHelper - A Class to Help with Deleting Referenced Persistent Classes | IDC on any Custom Data Classes, and Business Processes (BPL).

We have a bunch of Data Classes, BPL's, and Operations that connect to external MS SQL Server using JDBC to query or write data to using Stored Procedures and Queries. All that Query external tables are using EnsLib.SQL.Snapshot, and this is being written to ^Ens.AppData which is not cleaned up.

Hi Community,

An error occurs during the analysis process in the FHIR SQL Builder. How can I identify the exact cause of the error?

For software engineers and data architects evaluating data platforms for risk and compliance consolidation in financial services.

Overview

Financial institutions typically run separate applications for risk management and regulatory compliance, creating fragmented data landscapes that are difficult to query and expensive to maintain. InterSystems IRIS is a distributed HTAP data platform that allows organizations to consolidate these systems onto a single, unified data layer.

Summary

Issue

An issue has been identified in the HL7-to-SDA3 transformation logic that can cause an infinite loop when processing certain medication-related HL7 messages.

Hey Community,

It's time for a fresh batch of #KeyQuestions from the 1st quarter of 2026 (January to March). Take a look at what has been stirring the discussion over the past three months. 

Hey Community,

The READY 2026 agenda is taking shape, and we're thrilled to give you a first look at what's in store.

This year's event runs April 27–30 at the Maryland Convention Center, and the session roster is packed — more than 80 sessions spread across four days, designed to assist you in whatever you need, whether you're deep in the code or shaping your organization's technology strategy.

The tracks cover a broad range of topics this year:

Hi folks!

Is there an easy setting, e.g., to merge.cpf so that it will disable the management portal on a deployed IRIS container?

The idea is to let only one of my particular web apps be available and everything else not even accessible on IRIS.

Motivation

Why do we need this?

1. Lack of Compiled Context: AI tools only see source code; they don't know what the final compiled routine looks like.

2. Macro Hallucination: Because AI doesn't see our #include files or system macros, it often makes them up, wasting time during debugging.

3. The Documentation Gap: Deep logic optimization often requires understanding internal macros that aren't fully covered in public documentation.

4. Manual Overhead: Currently, the only way to fix this is to manually use the IRIS VS Code extension to find the "truth" in the routine.
