⏯️ AI-Assisted Rare and Complex Disease Detection

This demo shows how InterSystems Health Gateway can be used to pull in outside patient records from networks like Carequality, CommonWell, and eHealth Exchange, creating a more complete longitudinal view in a clinical viewer. That full record is then analyzed by AI to surface potential rare disease considerations with clear reasoning, helping clinicians see patterns they might otherwise miss.

🗣 @Jesse Reffsin, Senior Sales Engineer at InterSystems
🗣 @Georgia Gans, Sales Engineer at InterSystems

Most IRIS developers use $LISTBUILD every day — often without even noticing it.

It is not just a convenient function for building lists. It is also the default internal format used to store row data, global values, and many intermediate structures inside the database engine.

Despite this, the actual binary representation of $LISTBUILD values is rarely discussed. Most developers rely on its behavior, but never look at how the data is really stored.

This article focuses strictly on the binary layout of $LISTBUILD values, based on direct inspection via zzdump.

This is the second part of an article pair where I walk you through:

  • Part I - Intro and Quick Tour (the previous article)
    • What is it?
    • Spinning up an InterSystems IRIS Cloud Document deployment
    • Taking a quick tour of the service via the service UI
  • Part II - Sample (Dockerized) Java App (this article)
    • Grabbing the connection details and TLS certificate
    • Reviewing a simple Java sample that creates a collection, inserts documents, and queries them
    • Setting up and running the Java (Dockerized) end‑to‑end sample

As mentioned the goal is to give you a smooth “first run” experience.

Question Andrew Sklyarov · Apr 18

I need a %SYS.Python object that will be accessible from different processes. The goal is to avoid reinitializing the Python object whenever it is called. Ways that I checked and decided that it is NOT what I want:

  • %-variables (process variables). Reusing only in the same process
  • Save-and-restore via globals. Restoring means heavy initialization, which I want to avoid

Next, my ideas (none of them look like a silver bullet):

  • Using Interoperability Production.

Hello, community.

I've been working with Intersystem Caché for two years, and right away I was excited about the rich ecosystem that Caché provides. However, I was disappointed with calls using #call, and I understand that it was a limitation of the time. Well, the frustration is that #call returns null by default, meaning an AJAX request is executed, but there's no hook to retrieve the return from that request. The only way to retrieve the data from that request is by building a callback on the server side using &js<>.

What is a Microservice?

A microservice is an architectural style that structures an application as a collection of small, autonomous services. Each component is developed around a specific business capability, can be deployed independently, and is typically managed by a miniature, specialized, self-governing team.

Question Ganesh Jagtap · Apr 17

Hi Team,

We are currently running InterSystems Caché 2018 on an IBM AIX server and would like to configure the Cache instance to start automatically when the server boots or is rebooted.

Could you please provide the recommended steps or any official scripts/guidelines to enable auto-start for the Cache instance (QA2018) on AIX?

Additionally, if there are any best practices or prerequisites (such as filesystem mount options, service dependencies, or startup order) that we should consider, please share those as well.

Thanks,
Ganesh
