Hi all,

Let's do some more work about the testing data generation and export the result by REST API.😁

Here, I would like to reuse the datagen.restservice class which built in the pervious article Writing a REST api service for exporting the generated patient data in .csv

This time, we are planning to generate a FHIR bundle include multiple resources for testing the FHIR repository.

This article presents a potential solution for semantic code search in TrakCare using IRIS Vector Search.

Here's a brief overview of results from the TrakCare Semantic code search for the query: "Validation before database object save".

  • Code Embedding model

There are numerous embedding models designed for sentences and paragraphs, but they are not ideal for code specific embeddings.

IRIS in Docker for beginners

The article was motivated by the 2025 September Article Bounty
***************************************************************


The principle of Docker is just convincing to me.

  • Get a sandbox where you play and try whatever you want/need to do
  • Once done. You drop it without leaving traces in your working environment

This was the technical base for me to run about 700 reviews in OEX
with almost no side effects (except those caused by myself).

Window functions in InterSystems IRIS let you perform powerful analytics — like running totals, rankings, and moving averages — directly in SQL.
They operate over a "window" of rows related to the current row, without collapsing results like GROUP BY.
This means you can write cleaner, faster, and more maintainable queries — no loops, no joins, no temp tables.

In this article let's understand the mechanics of window functions by addressing some common data analisys tasks.

Hi Community,

In the first part of this series, we examined the fundamentals of Interoperability on Python (IoP), specifically how it enables us to construct such interoperability elements as business services, processes, and operations using pure Python.

Now, we are ready to take things a step further. Real-world integration scenarios extend beyond simple message handoffs.They involve scheduled polling, custom message structures, decision logic, filtering, and configuration handling.In this article, we will delve into these more advanced IoP capabilities and demonstrate how to create and run a more complex interoperability flow using only Python.

To make it practical, we will build a comprehensive example: The Reddit Post Analyzer Production. The concept is straightforward: continuously retrieving the latest submissions from a chosen subreddit, filtering them based on popularity, adding extra tags to them, and sending them off for storage or further analysis.

The ultimate goal here is a reliable, self-running data ingestion pipeline. All major parts (the Business Service, Business Process, and Business Operation) are implemented in Python, showcasing how to use IoP as a Python-first integration methodology.

Introduction

MonLBL is a tool for analyzing the performance of ObjectScript code execution line by line. codemonitor.MonLBL is a wrapper based on the %Monitor.System.LineByLine package from InterSystems IRIS, designed to collect precise metrics on the execution of routines, classes, or CSP pages.

The wrapper and all examples presented in this article are available in the following GitHub repository: iris-monlbl-example

Metabase IRIS Driver

Hi InterSystems Community! I'm Sidd one of the interns at the Singapore office and I recently had the chance to develop to develop a driver to connect IRIS to Metabase to help some of the Sales Engineers here. I was encouraged to share it here so that if any others have a similar issue they can use the driver and as well as get some feedback on potential improvements. The full GitHub repo with the quick start step, brief overview and the driver building process can be found here.

Hi Community,

In this article, I will introduce my application iris-fhir-bridge

IRIS-FHIR-Bridge is a robust interoperability engine built on InterSystems IRIS for Health, designed to transform healthcare data across multiple formats into FHIR and vice versa. It leverages the InterSystems FHIR Object Model (HS.FHIRModel.R4.*) to enable smooth data standardization and exchange across modern and legacy healthcare systems.

SQL Host Variables missing ?

Host Variables are a rather common programming feature in many implementations of SQL.
A recent question in DC made me aware that in IRIS, Caché, Ensemble, ...
host variables just exist within embedded SQL

> You can supply host variables for Embedded SQL queries only. <

Related examples are included in the available Documentation

This is a description for a workaround if you don't / can't use embedded SQL.

This article outlines the process of utilizing the renowned Jaeger solution for tracing InterSystems IRIS applications. Jaeger is an open-source product for tracking and identifying issues, especially in distributed and microservices environments. This tracing backend that emerged at Uber in 2015 was inspired by Google's Dapper and Twitter's OpenZipkin. It later joined the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) as an incubating project in 2017, achieving graduated status in 2019. This guide will demonstrate how to operate the containerized Jaeger solution integrated with IRIS.

We are receiving the report in text format and it has special characters like ', - like that in the text. Source system is using the UTF8 encoding format hence the text is showing as ' � ' . Is there a way to convert the utf8 to actual character in the DTL.

Thank you,

Are you curious about how to run Python scripts directly in your InterSystems IRIS or Caché terminal? 🤔 Good news it's easy! 😆 IRIS supports Embedded Python, allowing you to use Python interactively within its terminal environment.

How to access the Python Shell?

To launch the Python shell from the IRIS terminal, simply run the following command:
