InterSystems is pleased to announce the 2023.1 release of InterSystems IRIS Data Platform, InterSystems IRIS for Health, HealthShare Health Connect, and InterSystems IRIS Studio are now Generally Available (GA). 2023.1 is an Extended Maintenance (EM) release. Many updates and enhancements have been added in 2023.1. There are also brand-new capabilities, such as production-ready support for Columnar Storage, ability to use Bulk FHIR, and support to MacOS 13 Ventura. Additionally, a new feature to provide the ability to use Foreign Tables is being released as "experimental" and will be accessible through an Early Access Program (EAP). Release Highlights Platform Updates InterSystems IRIS Data Platform 2023.1 expands support to include the following new & updated operating systems for production workloads: MacOS 13 Ventura. Enhancing Analytics and AI Columnar Storage: now supports production-ready Columnar Storage as a new storage option for IRIS SQL tables that offers an order-of-magnitude faster analytical queries compared to traditional row storage on IRIS, for specific use cases. Interoperability and FHIR Bulk FHIR Support: InterSystems Bulk FHIR export is a new capability of our FHIR server, which is a feature that is rapidly gaining favor in the market. Enhancing Speed, Scale and Security Foreign Tables: This release introduces a new (experimental) capability for leveraging external data in InterSystems IRIS. Foreign Tables present themselves as regular IRIS tables to any queries you write in IRIS SQL, but their data is not physically stored on IRIS. It may be in a remote file, a third-party database (on-prem or DBaaS), or a separate IRIS server to which an ECP connection would not be practical. In other words, the data in these tables is not managed by IRIS, but it is projected to IRIS. Remember that this feature is being released as "experimental" and will be accessible through an Early Access Program (EAP). Memory Settings: New installations of InterSystems IRIS will now use smarter defaults for shared memory and lock table size settings. The new defaults will apply best practice configurations based off the configured global buffer size (which in turn considers available system memory if not set by the user) and work well for most workloads. Users may still override these defaults with specific values as before. Existing settings are not affected. Platform Scalability: This release includes scalability enhancements that enable large production deployments to meet the most demanding workloads. This includes asynchronous reading of journal files when de-journaling and specific optimizations to the Enterprise Cache Protocol infrastructure to optimize resource usage and limit contention under very high load. How to get the software As usual, Extended Maintenance (EM) releases come with classic installation packages for all supported platforms, as well as container images in Docker container format. For a complete list, refer to the Supported Platforms document. Installation packages and preview keys are available from the WRC's InterSystems IRIS Data Platform Full Kits or HealthShare Full Kits pages. Additionally, kits can also be found in the evaluation services website. InterSystems IRIS Studio is available from the Components distribution page.

For a full list of the available images, please refer to the ICR documentation. The build number for this developer preview release is 2022.2.0.368.0.

Currently , I am using objectscript in Iris. If I switch the code from objectscript to Java means what are all the steps I need to do? The list of steps depend on how is your current application built (e.g. are you using direct global access vs. SQL). Depending on which direction you want to go you could simply wrap your existing objectscript code in either stored procs or services and access them from Java or rewrite all your existing logic in Java. Again, the steps would depend on what exactly you're trying to accomplish and your current app makings. Maybe this Getting Started guide is also a worthwhile reference

Hi There , We are trying to do a small POC trying to integrate NHS Careconnect with Ensemble/Healthconnect. Does anyone have implemented this before. It would be good that you provide some suggestions or any sample implementation. It would be good to get suggestions any interesting use cases within NHS England for the POC. Im working for Integrella . We are trying to achieve a POC with Care connect/ GP connect. We are trying to do it with Intersystems Technologies. Hi Soundar, Several NHS trusts working with Health Connect have implemented some aspects of the Care Connect API. InterSystems is also engaged in a number of FHIR API initiatives with the NHS, for a variety of different profiles. May I ask which Trust you are working with?Jon

HI, docs.intersystems.com has been down for almost a week now. Do we have any update as to when it will be back up?

Thanks Still not working for me FYI not working and even the temp link is not working unfortunately.

Hello, We are connecting to our client's Intersys database with python3.8 on our Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS, we are having trouble gettin the intersys.pythonbind module to work. We are able to install the intersystems_irispython-3.2.0-py3-none-any.whl but, when we try to run the code we always get: Traceback (most recent call last): File "./get_well_life.py", line 4, in <module> import intersys.pythonbind ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'intersys' Please could you tell us what may be going wrong? Please also feel free to ask for any additional infomation. Thanks and regards! Hello Alexander, If you are trying to connect to an IRIS instance, you might want to import the irisnative module import irisnative You can find an example here: https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=AFL_pynative#AFL_pynative_using I hope it helps. Asaf

1. Is there documentation for Track care configuration settings. 2. In Clinical Viewer where I can go and change the size of labels, I am not getting in any settings available in track care. Hi Ishan, 1) - There is Trak documentation but it's not publicly available, you need to get access via TRC https://trc.intersystems.com/ 2) There are no settings for fonts/colours, you need to use custom CSS file to change those Since you mention Clinical Viewer I assume you're talking about HealthShare and not about TrakCare. HealthShare includes documentation on customizing the Clinical Viewer here: https://docs.intersystems.com/hs20211/csp/docbook/Doc.View.cls?KEY=HECUI Note that you'll need to be a HealthShare customer to access this documentation. Does HealthShare use the IO Device Table like LabTrak does? And are users tied to the default windows printer when they print? in which case can you not change the label size via the choice of stationary in the windows print preferences? It also depends of course on whether the text content will adjust to fit the label size. If the font and relative positioning are fixed then my idea won't work. It may print on a larger or smaller label size but the text itself won't scale. Nigel Hi Sergei, Thanks for the response, Can you please let me know how can I get access to https://trc.intersystems.com/ Hi Ishan, Write an email from your work address to support@intersystems.com and ask for an access to TRC

Please let me know the Configuration management tools that can be integrated with InterSystems.... How to integrate the Config management tool with InterSystems.. Please let know the steps Unless you upgrade to 2016.2 or beyond you can't yet use Atelier as your code editor, so integration with file-based source code management (SCM) tools such as Git or Perforce isn't so straightforward. Deltanji works natively inside Caché 2008.1 and later and integrates easily with Studio (as well as with Atelier). The Solo edition is free.Or maybe when you write "Configuration management tools" you aren't referring to SCM? Hi, Murali!What configuration do you want to manage?Users/Roles/Resources?Namespace mappings?Memory/CSP settings? What Cache version are you running?Are you editing code with Studio, Atelier, Serenji or some other tool?Do you have any specific configuration management tools in mind? If not, have you looked at Deltanji? I am using cache version Cache for Windows (x86-64) 2016.1.2. Editing code with Cache Studio.. I am not aware of Configuration management tools Please find my answers in line Scope : Movement of config and its dependencies across DEV , TEST and PROD Environments. This has to be automated with config setting details What configuration do you want to manage? ---- Users/Roles/Resources? ---- yes Namespace mappings? ---------yes Memory/CSP settings? - Not required for now Globals, Routines

How is the security handled in intersystems for GUI and web services testing part ? Does it have inbuilt security handling packages ? what are the limitations ? Please enlighten. If by the 'Web Services testing part' you mean a page like this:http://localhost:57772/csp/samples/SOAP.Demo.clsThat doesn't even use SOAP, it uses an HTML form submission to run the method directly. What that page does is test the logic of your webservice methods in a simple way, to make sure your desired inputs give the desired outputs. You should use something like SoapUI if you want to more completely test your SOAP methods. Comprehensive documentation here and here.Murali, if this or any other answer to your question is useful/accepted please remember to click the checkmark alongside it.

how do we do estimation in Intersystems ? what is the unit of work that we refer for intersystems ? let's say for example if we to add 200 fields how many business classes ( Business service, Business process, Business operations) that we must change ?Any thumb rule ? Please let know Please consider clarifying your question.InterSystems Caché is a database, so adding 200 fields is fairly straightforward.InterSystems Ensemble is a ESB. It has Business Hosts (Business services, Business processes, Business operations). They manipulate data stored in Caché database based on arbitrary rules. Let' s say for 200 fields at a high level how many business classes that we might need to change...Please let know. How much of reusability % that we can factor in ? Noone would give you exact numbers. It really depends on your use case.However, adding 200 properties to an Ensemble message (not considering other classes as you pass just messages) may either simp0ly mean that you add 200 properties to ONE class or to MANY classes, depending how clever the original design of your production was.You may, or with the same probability many not, need to change the message design and switch to virtual documents ... it really depends on many factors unique to your particular use case - throughput expected, load of data incoming etc etc... As Dan already explained, there isn't a way to say this in a generalized manner. Code, and especially Ensemble code, is highly specialized to each customer's needs. You are actually in the best position to gauge the impact of adding a field to a class: how much code is touching the class? How much of the code is going to rely on your new fields? etc.

This small tutorial described how to „register“ the ADO.NET Database Provider (Driver) for InterSystems IRIS and InterSystems Caché on a Windows machine. Before we start: Why need the ADO.NET Database Provider to be registered? ADO.NET provides factory classes standardize the way programmer will create a provider-specific Connection. This simplifies the way programmers create provider specific instances in a generic data access API. Details about that can be found here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/data/adonet/obtaining-a-dbproviderfactoryIf an Application use this system to obtain a list of available Data Providers, the provider needs to be registered. In my example I want to use the .Net Data Provider for InterSystems IRIS in a MS SQL Server Integration Service Project. This Application (SSIS) use a Connection Dialog that lists all on this machine available\known Data Provider: As you can see there are no InterSystems Provider available. The following section describes what needs to be done to list the provider on this connection dialog. machine.config?! Each .NET Framework data provider that supports a factory-based class registers configuration information in the DbProviderFactories section of the machine.config file on the local computer. The DbProviderFactories class uses the machine.config file(s) to resolve the invariant name to the appropriate provider factory type. The machine.config file is located in …\<windows>\Microsoft.NET\Framework\<version>\config\machine.config. On my computer e.g:C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\ConfigandC:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Config Add DbProviderFactories Open the machine.config file with a text editor and search for “system.data”. You found possibly an empty block like this: These are the values we have to insert for IRIS: <add name="InterSystems IRIS Data Provider"invariant="InterSystems.Data.IRISClient"description=".Net Data Provider for InterSystems IRIS"type="InterSystems.Data.IRISClient.IRISFactory,InterSystems.Data.IRISClient,Version=4.5.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=ad350a26c4a4447c"/> … and this for Caché <add name="InterSystems Cache Data Provider"invariant="InterSystems.Data.CacheClient"description=".Net Data Provider for InterSystems Cache"type="InterSystems.Data.CacheClient.CacheFactory,Intersystems.Data.CacheClient,Version=4.5.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=ad350a26c4a4447c"/> The “system.block” should now look like this: Pay attention to the <DbProviderFactories></DbProviderFactories> tags! Now start Visual Studio (Data Tools), create a SSIS Projekt and open the Connection Manager again. The dialog should look like this: Great! The providers are listed!... unfortunately that is not enough. The providers are not working if you select one of the new entries you get this message: That’s happened because the Provider are not known it the GAC (=global assembly cache), so the entries can’t be found*. *If you have done an IRIS\Caché installation on your computer (or just the client tools) maybe the provider is already registered in the GAC and you don’t this message and all is already working. Congratulations! 😊 Register InterSystems provider in the GAC To registered the InterSystems provider on a computer you can do it this way: Find the files first: Intersystems.Data.CacheClient.dll (for Caché) InterSystems.Data.IRISClient.dll (for IRIS) Within an IRIS installation you can find the file e.g. …\dev\dotnet\bin\v4.5Copy the files on your computer in a folder (InterSystems.Data.IRISClient.dll). Now you are able to register the Provider in the assembly cache with the gacutil. Using gacutil If you have a Visual Studio installed you can use the Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt: That has the advantage that you don’t need to look for the gacutil path, for installation just type: gacutil -i <full path to your dll>\InterSystems.Data.CacheClient.dlle.g.: gacutil -i D:\dev\privat_repos\NativeCacheTest\lib\InterSystems.Data.CacheClient.dll You should see the message: Assembly successfully added to the cache To remove something from gac, use the option "-u": gacutil -u InterSystems.Data.CacheClient Install both provider: gacutil -i <full path to your dll>\InterSystems.Data.IRISClient.dllgacutil -i <full path to your dll>\InterSystems.Data.CacheClient.dll If you don’t have the “Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt” you need to search the gacutil executable first. On my computer it is located at: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\bin\NETFX 4.8 Tools\gacutil.exe" Install:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\bin\NETFX 4.8 Tools\gacutil.exe" -i D:\dev\privat_repos\NativeCacheTest\lib\InterSystems.Data.IRISClient.dll"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\bin\NETFX 4.8 Tools\gacutil.exe" -i D:\dev\privat_repos\NativeCacheTest\lib\InterSystems.Data.CacheClient.dll Remove:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\bin\NETFX 4.8 Tools\gacutil.exe" -u InterSystems.Data.CacheClient"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\bin\NETFX 4.8 Tools\gacutil.exe" -u InterSystems.Data.IRISClient It works! :-) And now… if you open the SSIS Project again, navigate to the Connection Manager it should looks like this: You can now select the IRIS provider, see and configure all available connections details. Thanks for reading.
