If you’ve ever watched a true artisan—whether a potter turning mud into a masterpiece or a luthier bringing raw wood to life as a marvelous guitar—you know that magic isn’t in the materials, but in care, craft, and process. I know this firsthand: my handmade electric guitar is a daily inspiration, but I’ll admit—creating something like that is a talent I don’t have.

Hello Community,

When I run the following code with x undefined in terminal, it throws a syntax error and returns control to the program stack. After issuing a GO command, execution continues, and setting the global variable ^zz1.

code 1:

We are receiving an ORU message and the vendor is requesting that we append a new OBX segment at the end of the message and I wanted to reach out to see what options might be available.

So far, I tried the append action in the DTL editor with a single OBX-3 field but it seems to be appending to the field directly instead of creating a new OBX. I've started looking into if whether I could use a function but wanted to first check with the experts on the Discussion here in case there's an easier way to accomplish this. Thank you.

So, we have docker image webgateway-nginx, marked as latest-em, which means supposed to be extended maintenance

If you're migrating from Oracle to InterSystems IRIS—like many of my customers—you may run into Oracle-specific SQL patterns that need translation.

Take this example:

SELECT (TO_DATE('2023-05-12','YYYY-MM-DD') - LEVEL + 1) AS gap_date
FROM dual
CONNECT BY LEVEL <= (TO_DATE('2023-05-12','YYYY-MM-DD') - TO_DATE('2023-05-02','YYYY-MM-DD') + 1);

In Oracle:

I have a unique index on two properties in a class, and I want to open the instance by index key with one of the two properties is set to the empty string. Is this possible to perform?

Take the example class here

Dear Developer Community,

It seems the Grinch got a little mischievous and swiped our recap before it could make its grand debut! 🎄💚 But don’t worry — our developer elves are hard at work tracking it down, and the full recap will be online shortly.

Hang tight, and we promise to have it back in time to spread all the holiday cheer (and the details you’re waiting for). Thanks for your patience, and keep an eye out for the return of our festive recap!

If several application servers are connected using ECP, and one of them create many locks, so many that lock table became full :

Should we expect only that application server to be impacted ? (usually, when lock table is full the system became instable). Or, are other application servers going to be impacted the same way ? (because that lock table is synchronized and maintained in sync across all servers)

Hi.

How can I prevent the error:

2024-12-27 08:05:46 [SQLCODE: <-400>:<Fatal error occurred>] [Error: <<READ>XDCall+9^%SYS.DBSRV>] [Location: <$system.IO server loop>] [Client info: <Username: Operator, Node Name: PM_MIP_SRD01, IP Address: 10.40.1.108, Executable Name: Operative.dll, Internal Function: KÂ>] [%protocol: <65>] $Id: //iris/2023.2.0/kernel/common/src/sysio.c#2 $ 3514 121

It seems that this error occours when connection on PDA is lost and established again.

Tnx.

Regards,
Matjaž

A bug or a feature or a stupid user error? The documentation says nothing about the limitations:

Hello,

I'm trying to carry a custom error from one business process to another.

BPL:LookupClass fails it's lookup and a custom error of "Lookup XYZ" is generated.

The class quits with that error, but upon quitting, the custom error gets wrapped in an Ensemble System error:

Hi Community,

While writing an article yesterday, I realized I was so busy with people who came to the Developer Community table at the Tech Exchange that I forgot to take photos for you. Luckily, I realized the error of my ways and corrected my behavior accordingly 😉

So, let's look at what happened on Tuesday at the InterSystems Ready 2025! It began with a speech of Scott Gnau about the approach and architecture of InterSystems Data Platform and how it is different from all other DBMSs:
