2016.2 Field Test

I am pleased to announce the field test of Caché and Ensemble 2016.2 - an exciting new release with improvements on many different fronts.

The entire product team at InterSystems looks forward to your participation in the field test and feedback over the coming months.

Some of the more profound changes in 2016.2 include:

I have always struggled with Iterating through a JSON response to pull out certain fields into a Data Class Structure to use to populate fields in a DTL. So I defined the whole structure for the following JSON, with the base structure extending Ens.Response, %XML.Adaptor, and %JSON.Adaptor.

If you work with Productions, highlighting connections between Business Hosts is a very convenient feature, allowing developers to get a visual representation of a data flow.

This feature works by default with all system Business Hosts. If a user writes their own Business Services, Processes, or Operations, they must implement the OnGetConnections method for this functionality to work with their custom Business Hosts (or use Ens.DataType.ConfigName properties for connections).
That said, the SMP shows only the first layer of connections of the selected Business Host. Sometimes, we need to get connections of connections recursively to build a complete data flow graph. Or we might need this connection information to check which downstream systems might be affected by a change upstream.

IKO Plus: HSSYS Mirroring with IKO

Enabling HSSYS Mirroring Out of the Gate with IKO

For those of us building InterSystems workloads on Kubernetes, we are definitely spoiled with the InterSystems Kubernetes Operator (IKO) doing the heavy lifting and mirroring on day one. Where us spoiled brats jump up and down is when we try to add additional databases/namespaces when we provision from HealthConnect containers on day two, while others get to utilize HealthShare Mirroring for this task, the prerequisite of mirroring HSSYS out of the gate has been somewhat elusive. Here is example on how you can this powerful feature up and running with the employment of IKO and IrisClusters.

Hi,

I want to consume an API that provides HL7 messages. To achieve this, I have thought of the following workflow:

I have created a business service that periodically triggers a business process. The trigger request is forwarded to a business operation. There, a %Net.HttpRequest is assembled from scratch and then sent to the API endpoint. The corresponding HttpResponse then contains several HL7 messages encoded in UTF-8 in the message body. To further process the HL7 messages, the operation sends the HttpResponse back to the business process as EnsLib.HTTP.GenericMessage.

Hi Community,

We’re excited to invite you to take part in shaping the next generation of ObjectScript development tools. We’re working on an AI-powered ObjectScript coding assistant designed specifically for IRIS developers. Not a generic AI adapted for ObjectScript, but a solution built from the ground up to understand ObjectScript idioms, IRIS APIs, interoperability productions, and real-world developer workflows.

To make sure we build something truly useful, we need your input.

Hello everyone,

My team lead mentioned that users can sometimes create globals directly without associating them with tables or classes. In this case, these globals would not be accessible via SQL.

Is this correct? Can a global exist independently in this way, and if so, is there a specific approach to access or manage them without SQL?

Who hasn't been developing a beautiful example using a Docker IRIS image and had the image generation process fail in the Dockerfile because the license under which the image was created doesn't contain certain privileges?

In my case, what I was deploying in Docker is a small application that uses the Vector data type. With the Community version, this isn't a problem because it already includes Vector Search and vector storage. However, when I changed the IRIS image to a conventional IRIS (the latest-cd), I found that when I built the image, including the classes it had generated, it returned this error:

In Part 1, we laid the technical foundation of MAIS (Multi-Agent Interoperability Systems). We have successfully wired up the 'Brain', built a robust Adapter using LiteLLM, locked down our API keys with IRIS Credentials, and finally cracked the trick code on the Python interoperability puzzle.

France & Benelux READY 2026 has just come to an end, and once again, these two days demonstrated how dynamic, curious, and engaged the Developer Community truly is. Here is a look back in words and images at this great edition.

The event kicked off with welcome remarks from @Adeline Icard and @Geoffroy Vitoux, setting the tone for the days ahead: innovation, sharing, and collaboration.
