#Compatibility

Starting with InterSystems IRIS 2025.1, the way dependent cubes are handled in cube builds and cube synchronizes was changed.

This change may require modifying custom build/synchronize methods. If you are using the Cube Manager, these changes are already considered and handled, which means no action is needed.

Prior to this change, cubes were required to be built and synchronized in the proper order and account for any cube relationships/dependencies. With this change, dependent cubes are automatically updated as needed when using the %BuildCube or %SynchronizeCube APIs.

Up until early this year, I haven't been not doing much coding at all -- I had gotten sick of it.

After many years as a hands-on software engineer and data scientist, I got burned out around 2015. I switched to business development roles focused on "external innovation," then joined InterSystems in 2019 as a product manager. I missed the creative aspects of coding, but not the tedium. The endless cycle of boilerplate, debugging, and context-switching had left me creatively depleted. Like Jim Carrey's character in Yes Man, I found myself saying "no" to new projects -- so much so that I

Inevitably, you will eventually need to move your code up from one version of IRIS or Cache to a more recent version of IRIS. There are a few good steps you can take to set yourself up for success in that process.

Read Documentation Carefully

Before you move anything you should check out the IRIS documentation page for many useful resources on changes made to various versions of IRIS.

Introduction

In InterSystems IRIS 2024.3 and subsequent IRIS versions, the AutoML component is now delivered as a separate Python package that is installed after installation. Unfortunately, some recent versions of Python packages that AutoML relies on have introduced incompatibilities, and can cause failures when training models (TRAIN MODEL statement). If you see an error mentioning "TypeError" and the keyword argument "fit_params" or "sklearn_tags", read on for a quick fix.

Root Cause

• scikit-learn updated to version 1.6.0, deprecating fit_params.
• scikeras is no longer updating the

DP-439207 - AIX JSON Unicode Parsing Issue

A bug has been identified in InterSystems IRIS 2024.3.0 on AIX instances that affects the parsing of JSON Unicode strings. The issue arises when either the %FromJSON() or %FromJSONFile() method

The first developer previews of InterSystems IRIS^® data platform, InterSystems IRIS^® for Health, and HealthShare^® Health Connect 2025.1 have been posted to the WRC developer preview site.  Containers can be found on our container registry and are tagged latest-preview.

These developer previews include the feature to migrate to IBM "Open XL C/C++ for AIX" 17.x compiler ensuring compatibility with future AIX builds as older compilers approach end-of-support. This migration focuses on the aixopenssl30 target, supporting SSL3 on AIX 7.2 and 7.3.

It's been a long time since I didn't write an update post on IoP.

So what's new since IoP command line interface was released?

Two new big features were added to IoP:

• Rebranding: the grongier.pex module was renamed to iop to reflect the new name of the project.
• Async support: IoP now supports async functions and coroutines.

Rebranding

The grongier.pex module was renamed to iop to reflect the new name of the project.

The grongier.pex module is still available for backward compatibility, but it will be removed in the future.

Async support

IoP supports async calls for a long time, but it was not

I am trying to execute a program from within cache using a $zf call

S X=$ZF(-1,"C:\""Program Files (x86)""\Car-Part\Messaging\iCPM.exe")

For the sake of this post I changed it to open notepad

S X=$ZF(-1,"C:\Windows\notepad.exe")

If I call it directly from terminal notepad opens and all is happy.  

If I add it to a program we use to run certain tasks once an hour or even every 10 minutes it will fire off notepad but it will be in the background.

The messaging application we use will not work at all in the background and needs to be in the foreground.  

I have tried everything myself and 3 other

Using the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2), is it possible to install IRIS and run it from there? I am wanting to test IAM, but unable to run Docker Desktop on my VM, and do not have access to a Linux machine to install and test with.

Thanks

Is there not a way to use the Red Hat 8 install package to do an `irisinstall`? If not, how does one get the IRIS Community .tar.gz file for "Red Hat 9"?

Hi all. Today we are going to install Jupyter Notebook and connect it to Apache Spark and InterSystems IRIS.

Note: I have done the following on Ubuntu 18.04,  Python 3.6.5.

Introduction

If you are looking for well-known, widely-spread and mainly popular among Python users notebook instead of Apache Zeppelin, you should choose Jupyter notebook. Jupyter notebook is a very powerful and great data science tool.

Good morning. Perhaps someone can tell me if this IRIS health communit version (IRISHealth_Community-2022.1.0.209.0-lnxubuntu2004x64) is supposed

to work in an Ubuntu 20.04 LTS installation in an Oracle Virtual Box .

I am trying to install different versions on Ubuntu . I tried with the 18 version. No luck. Than I've tried with the 20.04 version. No luck either.

The error I am having now is below

After linking in Oracle Table with Field Column's Data Types of NUMBER, my updates into these table fields are resulting in data that is being rounded to 2 decimal places. I insert a record with 1234.1234 and 1234.12 is stored.

It appears Cache xDBC might be manipulating my values prior to sending to Oracle. Is there a setting or system parameter that is controlling this? If so, is there a way to relax this from occurring so the values I send are being stored in Oracle with the same values?

 I'm trying to set up VS Code for ObjectScript using the instructions found here. I've got both Cache 2018.1.2.309.0 and IRIS 2020.1.0.215.0.

Hello,

I was wondering if InterSystems has support for the following standards built into IRIS or Health Connect / Ensemble:

1.        Healthcare FHIR(Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resource) Protocol

2.        Enterprise Resource Planning OAGIS (Open Applications Group Integration Specification) Protocol / Supply Chain Management GS1-EPCIS (Electronic Product Code Information Services)

3.        Education, Certification, Credentials FERPA CEDS (Common Education Data Standards) Protocol

4.

Someone have experiences interconecting NonStop SQLMP with Iris ?

I need if possible some references or tips, actually connected with JDBC driver to interconnect and take many assorted problems, like :

Some queries, not to much, have null fetch, works fine but have no content to fetch, and i'm sure select sentence is not the problem.

We are seeing more and more customers being lured with latest infrastructure technologies, particularly Composable Infrastructure. Coming with all sorts of data center consolidations and costs savings.

Question is: are there any concerns for HealthShare/TrakCare being run on these platforms or things to look out for? Anyone out there, already on these platforms?

To be more specific this is HPe Synergy with 480 Compute blades booting as bare metal.

Regards;

Anzelem.

Hello everyone,
First sorry for the ignorance, but, as I am new in the InterSystem world, I came to the following doubt:
Thinking about a database migration.Is it possible, in a non-traumatic way, to take an Oracle database and migrate it completely to Caché?
 

Greeting IRIS Community,

I need some help converting XLT (XML) into DTL (XML) pragmatically using COS or any other available options in IRIS for health.
It is for HL7-TO-nonHL7 translation.

Hi,

i am using Healthshare 2017.2 version with Trakcare 2018. how to generate & print barcode from cache object scripting in this version?

Beginning with InterSystems IRIS 2020.1, the minimum required version for AIX is AIX 7.1 TL4. 

The InterSystems IRIS installer will detect if the required IBM XL C filesets are installed before continuing
with the installation. 

Hello Everyone,

I want to Know Caché or IRIS has some way to communicate with DDE or RTD from Excel?

Starting with 2017.1, InterSystems is adding Ubuntu (64-bit) as a third linux server platform. Prior to 2017.1 Ubuntu was already available as a development platform and customers could use InterSystems distributions build for SUSE to run on Ubuntu. As a result there are a few license key implications for 64-bit linux versions starting with Caché and Ensemble 2017.1:

a) Customers using RedHat will observe no changes

b) Customers using InterSystems products⁽¹⁾ for SUSE on SUSE will need new license keys (no charge)

c) Customers using InterSystems products⁽¹⁾ for SUSE on Ubuntu will need new

Just got the new beta version of Docker, with depreciation warning of AUFS. It's so bad news when InterSystems does not support used by default storage driver overlay2. Recently I thought to play with Google Kubernetes Engine, and realized that I can't work with InterSystems products there due to incompatibility with Storage Driver. Maybe it's already time to think about support?

Working on implementation FHIR to my project, I found interesting project HAPI-FHIR, which could help me to quickly launch my FHIR api server with InterSystems Caché as a storage, because this projects uses Hibernate to connect to database, as an example they use DerbyDB. I tried to change settings to use InterSystems Caché, but unfortunately it does not work and throw some errors inside HIbernate. As I found in Caché documentation, I have not some many options, I just have to set Cache dialect, and set database url.  This projects uses Hibernate 5.1

Hi everyone!
Someone already try to use jQuery Mask Plugin on cache?

I'm trying but unsuccessfully.
First I created a new ambient on my own machine to developer in html and all works.
So, I exported the library's js (as jss) to a new Application (stylesheet /js /css) and created too a new Zen Page .cls calling this Application style.
On Zen Page
     Parameter APPLICATION = "Multi.Estilo";
XData Contents [ XMLNamespace = "http://www.intersystems.com/zen" ]
{
<page xmlns="http://www.intersystems.com/zen" title="">
    <vgroup align="center" cellStyle="padding: 4px;">
       <text id="Data" controlClass="s

Is there compatibility with java language in the studio?

Atelier works with linux distributions?

In old Caché versions it was possible to create a new role based on predefined %Developer by copying it and adding some resources as needed. It was true at least from 2010.1 to 2015.1.

After upgrade from 2015.1.4 to 2017.2.1 it turned that it's only partially true now. User with a "New-Developer" role can enter Studio and open existing cls/mac/etc for editing and everything is OK unless he tries to create something new (Ctrl-N), than he gets a pop-up with %msg: <User xxx does not have enough privilege to execute stored procedure %CSP.StudioTemplateMgr_Templates>

The solution found was simple:
