I’ve been hearing more and more about InterSystems IRIS lately. I know IRIS has its own programing language called ObjectBook? or InstaScript? OK, I admit it, I know it’s called ObjectScript! I know IRIS also supports Python. I’m a Python developer, so that sounds great to me. But I’m also interested in ObjectScript. For example, Python and other languages support collections. Does ObjectScript support collections?”. You’d answer “Of course!”.

Here's a teaser screenshot showing how the unit tests of the IPM project don't yet cover a feature that apparently allows an IPM repository to override its sort order. Notice how line 88 is decorated red as a warning to the developer. A "battery indicator"-style decoration in VS Code's Explorer view shows amber because tests cover only 76% of the executable lines in the methods of this class.

Static messages quickly become hard to maintain and personalize. This is where the templated_email module comes in, combining InterSystems IRIS Interoperability with the power of Jinja2 templates. Why Jinja2 for Emails. Jinja2 is a popular templating engine from the Python ecosystem that enables fully dynamic content generation. It supports. Tue, 29 Jul 2025 03:44:01 -0400 post585144 0:00 Word documents are widely used in the market. Users frequently create contracts, memos, resumes, reports, analyses, and other documents that may require data from or captured by InterSystems IRIS. However, IRIS does not have an API, SDK, library, or adapter for this. This limitation no longer exists. Mon, 28 Jul 2025 18:44:01 -0400 post585104 0:00  This will be a short article about Python dunder methods, also known as magic methods. ## What are Dunder Methods? Dunder methods are special methods in Python that start and end with double underscores (`_`). They allow you to define the behavior of your objects for built-in operations, such as addition, subtraction, string representation, and more. Some common dunder methods include - `_init_(self,.)` Called when an object is created. - Like our `%OnNew` method in ObjectScript. Mon, 28 Jul 2025 06:02:02 -0400 post584993 0:00  Now that we have a good understanding of Python and its features, let's explore how we can leverage Python within IRIS. Mon, 28 Jul 2025 06:01:02 -0400 post585032 0:00 If one of your packages on OEX receives a review you get notified by OEX only of YOUR own package. The rating reflects the experience of the reviewer with the status found at the time of review. It is kind of a snapshot and might have changed meanwhile. Reviews by other members of the community are marked by * in the last column. I also placed a bunch of Pull Requests on GitHub when I found a problem I could fix. Some were accepted and merged, and some were just ignored. So if you made a major change and expect a changed review, just let me know. !,. The table. Mon, 28 Jul 2025 03:54:01 -0400 post585111 0:00 Overview. The The code block. project provides experimental support for integrating TypeORM with InterSystems IRIS, enabling developers to interact with IRIS using TypeORM’s well-known decorators and repository abstractions. This allows a more familiar development experience for JavaScript and TypeScript developers building Node.js applications with IRIS as the backend database. While the project implements key integration points with TypeORM and supports basic entity operations, it’s not yet battle-tested or suitable for production environments. Why The code block. ? Mon, 28 Jul 2025 03:45:01 -0400 post585105 0:00 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 The code block. properties for connections).That said, the SMP shows only the first layer of connections of the selected Business Host. Fri, 25 Jul 2025 14:17:01 -0400 post550836 0:00 Thirteen years ago, I attained dual undergraduate degrees in electrical engineering and math, then promptly started full-time at InterSystems using neither. One of my most memorable and stomach-churning academic experiences was in Stats II. On an exam, I was solving a moderately difficult confidence interval problem. I was running out of time, so (being an engineer) I wrote out the definite integral on the exam paper, punched it into my graphing calculator, wrote an arrow with “calculator” over it, then wrote the result. Fri, 25 Jul 2025 12:36:04 -0400 post583937 0:00 Let's start with a simple motivating question over the past 14 days, what are my most common errors in the Application Error Log? Answering this through the management portal or terminal is an annoying manual process - we should just be able to use SQL. Fortunately, there are a few class queries to help with this in the SYS.ApplicationError class in the %SYS namespace. You can answer the question for a single date with something like. The code block. Thu, 24 Jul 2025 09:17:04 -0400 post580641 0:00  Modules what a topic! We don't have this notion in ObjectScript, but it's a fundamental concept in Python. Let's discover it together. ## What is a Module? I see modules as an intermediate layer between classes and packages. Let see it by example. A bad example ```python # MyClass.py class MyClass def my_method(self) print("Hello from MyClass!") ``` When you try to use this class in another script, you would do ```python # class_usage.py from MyClass import MyClass # weird, right? Thu, 24 Jul 2025 08:35:51 -0400 post584992 0:00 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. The code block. This opens an interactive Python shell inside the IRIS terminal. From here, you can write and run Python code just as you would in a normal Python environment. Exiting the Shell. >>> quit().

Tue, 22 Jul 2025 12:51:01 -0400 post585063 0:00 For my intern project, I am building a Flask REST API backend. My goal is to host it on InterSystems IRIS using the WSGI interface. This is a relatively new approach and is currently only being used in a handful of projects such as AskMe. To help others get started, I decided to write this article to simplify the process. Creating a Basic Flask App. First, let’s create a minimal Flask application. Here is the code. The code block. This simple app runs a Flask server with one API endpoint at /test that returns the text “Test.”. Let's analyze our code line by line. The code block. Tue, 22 Jul 2025 09:20:01 -0400 post584758 0:00 Test Objectives. InterSystems has been testing Vector Search since it was announced as an “experimental feature” in IRIS 2024.1. The first test cycle was aimed at identifying algorithmic inefficiencies and performance constraints during the Development/QD cycle. The next test cycle used simple vector searches for single threaded performance analysis to model reliable, scalable and performant behaviour at production database scale in IRIS, and performed a series of comparative tests of key IRIS vector search features against PostgreSQL/pgvector. Tue, 22 Jul 2025 09:18:01 -0400 post585055 0:00 Are you familiar with SQL databases, but not familiar with IRIS? Then read on. About a year ago I joined InterSystems, and that is how IRIS got on my radar. I've been using databases for over 40 years—much of that time for database vendors—and assumed IRIS would be largely the same as the other databases I knew. However I was surprised to find that IRIS is in several ways quite unlike other databases, often much better.

Mon, 21 Jul 2025 10:19:01 -0400 post585015 0:00 Hello interface engineers and app developers,. Did you know that you can use Python in productions or integrations? The production configuration user interface is low-code, but in many projects, you may reach a point where you need to write some code. As discussed in the Integration Architecture course, business processes are full of places for inserting code, specifically the BPL editor (for BPL business processes) and the DTL editor (for data transformations). 😯 As of InterSystems IRIS 2025.1, both Python and InterSystems ObjectScript are supported in the BPL and DTL editors. Mon, 21 Jul 2025 09:21:02 -0400 post583660 0:00 This article is a continuation of the IRIS JSON project and features additional methods and insights. Let's continue with the instance methods. %GetTypeOf(Key). This instance method is used to determine the JSON data type of the %DynamicObject or %DynamicArray. It returns one of the following strings. The table. The code block. %GetIterator(). When working with a JSON object whose structure is unknown at runtime, you can utilize the %GetIterator method to iterate through each key-value pair dynamically. This method returns an instance of %Iterator.Object. Mon, 21 Jul 2025 08:00:02 -0400 post584713 0:00  This will be a short article about PEP 8, the Python style guide. ## What is PEP 8?
