Caché Server Pages (CSP) is both an architecture and toolset used to build an interactive web applications with the InterSystems Data Platform.

Question Riccardo Villa · Jul 15, 2025

Hello,

I need to expose InterSystems HealthInsight dashboards over the internet to external operators. The authentication flow is managed externally. When a user is authenticated, our system receives an HTTP request with specific headers (e.g., operator’s fiscal code and hospital identifier) that we need to extract in order to:

  • Authorize the user to access the dashboards.
  • Apply row-level security on the dashboards, filtering the data by hospital and user role.

I created a new Web Application on IRIS as shown in the screenshot:

Hello InterSystems Community,

I'm working with HealthShare, and need to create a user account for our development environment with specific access requirements. This user will need only to:

    Review messaging and environments
    See production and namespaces
    NOT modify anything (read-only access)

After reviewing the documentation on user roles and rights management, I can see the default roles available in our system include:

Ensemble/Interoperability Roles:

Good morning,

We need your help:

We wonder if there is a way to filter EnsLib.DICOM.Document, by using its DataSet properties on the Message Viewer.

For example, we would like to find the following DICOM.Document which DataSet.AccessionNumber is SR115985013100

By using the Message Viewer Filter we have tried the following:

FixedDataSet.AccessionNumber = SR115985013100

Because when we look fod a Body Property of the EnsLib.DICOM.Document it shows this drop down menu:

However, it replies with an error:

I am trying to get the value of a Submit button on a CSP object page.

<input type="Submit" value="Assign" name="action" id="action">

I tried getting it thru $GET(%Request.Data("action")), but it throws an Undefined error. Isnt $GET supposed to handle it if its undefined anyway?

How do I get the "value" of the button pushed when the form is set to POST?

I am attempting to follow the tutorial at Publishing Web Services Using Caché | Caché Web Services QuickStart Tutorial | Caché & Ensemble 2018.1.4 – 2018.1.11 to build a toy SOAP web-service using Cache but am running into what I suspect are permissions issues, or perhaps setting up the "plumbing" to get an incoming request to call the web-service methods.

Ensemble instance running on local laptop. Only the Ensemble private web-server installed on the machine (no IIS or Apache).

Hello, good morning, thank you so much for reading this question. ☺️🙂👍

We are developing a code to get information about our Production's items: services, processes and operations.

We know we can get various configurations of a given item: Category, Port, Enabled...

But we wonder how we could get the date time of the last mesage (most recent) received in an item.

To give a code snippet a small section of the code we have developed (and tested), it looks like:

changing the password under local settings in the CSP.ini  and that has managed to change the password to access the gateway but cannot log me into the management area I have followed a post here and read here and I seem not to get the answers that actual explain how I can get to the web gateway management.

Question Patrik Spisak · May 24, 2025

Hi,

How do I create CSP page in IIS to be loaded from the class? 

Im able to open my index.html but I have class webapp.init.cls which extends %CSP.Page which should generate html. If I write localhost/myapp/webapp.init.cls I just got an error Invalid action.

In IIS Handler Mappings I did setup for *.cls and *.csp files. 

I followed this

https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cl…

When I created index.csp my IIS just return NOT FOUND. With the old APACHE server I had no issue with all, but Im trying to migrate to IIS.

We have a machine that serves 4 instances of Cache on VMS systems, one of them is password protected and works fine as they all do. we decided we wanted something beefier and copied it to a server, well all but the one you have to login to works so 3 of the 4 do.  and the odd part is I can no longer get to the management page from anywhere on any machine, http://localhost/csp/bin/Systems/Module.cxw  I get a 404.8 error, I have tried adjusting security and same thing. and a server availability error.

Windows 10/Windows Server 2016:

I am currently monitoring our license use with a new rest-service I am implementing when I noticed my licenses on my instance being consumed and never released by Visual Studio Code.

For this I restarted my Instance, watched the licenses for a while, which remained at 1 during idle (I am guessing my MMGT Portal session uses 1) 
But when I connect to my Instance using Visual Studio Code (with my Instance setup in the extension already), suddenly 2 licenses are used. (I am guessing 1 for the "studio" and 1 for a terminal session, so far so good)

Question Evgeny Shvarov · Apr 26, 2025

Hi developers!

While developing web apps the security practice I consider safe and convenient is to create a special Role (e.g. equal application name) which contains security resources which application will need (SQL tables, priviledges, database access, etc) and assign it to the Web Application.
So the user gets this role once it loggs in to the application (via password, no password or delegated).

Convenient, right?

So, the question is, when I deploy the app as an IPM module what should I put as a database access?

As an IT and cloud team manager with 18 years of experience with InterSystems technologies, I recently led our team in the transformation of our traditional on-premises ERP system to a cloud-based solution. We embarked on deploying InterSystems IRIS within a Kubernetes environment on AWS EKS, aiming to achieve a scalable, performant, and secure system. Central to this endeavor was the utilization of the AWS Application Load Balancer (ALB) as our ingress controller.

In the WRC, we frequently see customers contact us because their Web Gateway is unable to serve web pages. This article will explain a frequent reason why these errors can occur, and explain some tools which can be used to debug the problem. This explanation is focused on the Web Gateway serving InterSystems IRIS instances, but the same explanation should apply to the CSP Gateway serving Caché instances as well.

The Problem:

Attempting to load a Web Application (either a custom application or the System Management Portal) results in one of the following errors (depending on your browser):

Hey, So the title pretty much describes the question:Where and How can i see the Stream that contains the response back to the client of a CSP application.When the request is being processed and finished we return a response to the client - We do that by writing the data to a stream and that stream is sent back to the client.I wanted to know how i can access the point right before that Data is actually written to the client back (meaning the place where the response is actually being send back, the last point of contact).And was not able to find about it in the DOCS so would love to get a

Question Craig Regester · Apr 18, 2016

We are currently looking into a way to provide a group of end-users (i.e. non-Interface Development engineers) access to a pre-defined group of Ensemble-based Data Lookup Tables for purposes of viewing and editing. We do not want to give them access to ALL Data Lookup Tables due to security/continuity concerns.

My thinking is that a simple persistent Cache table with three columns (Role Name,  Table Name, Access-Level [like View or Edit]) with a CSP front-end could potentially provide an easy way to make this solution a reality.

Question omer · Jan 12, 2025

Hello, 
In short, I am trying to get the Content-Length of my response, 

We have a CSP application, when we get a new request we begin to process it, throughout the app we WRITE to the response in different places, 
now when the response is about to be sent back to the client - we would like to know its Content-Length (in the RESPONSE HEADERS). 
So it comes down to two questions:
1. How can we access the Content-Length of our response?

2. In case we CAN'T - Where in the broker.cls/page/base classes can I observe the moment we actually write the response itself and attach its headers?
Thank you!

Hi Community,

I have a CSP page I am developing with the intent of pulling files from an SFTP site and placing them in a folder on the local network.

I am having an issue where the CSP page is catching a JS error. The error in the browser is - A JavaScript exception was caught during execution of HyperEvent: SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier 'downloading'. (However, the unexpected identifier changes after refreshing page, or after removing the Write statement with the work 'downloading' in it.)

I think I have narrowed it down to a piece of the Javascript code -

Hi Community,
In this article, I will introduce my application iris-HL7v2Gen .

IRIS-HL7v2Gen is a CSP application that facilitates the dynamic generation of HL7 test messages. This process is essential for testing, debugging, and integrating healthcare data systems. The application allows users to generate a wide variety of HL7 message types, validate their structure against HL7 specifications, explore the message hierarchy, and transmit messages over TCP/IP to production systems. These features are particularly useful in settings where compliance with HL7 standards is mandatory for interoperability between different healthcare organizations or systems.


Application Features

  • Dynamic HL7 Message Generation: Instantly create HL7 messages for a range of message types, facilitating comprehensive testing.
  • Message Structure Exploration: Visualize the structure of generated messages based on HL7 specifications.
  • Value Set Visualization View predefined sets of allowable coded values for specific fields.
  • Message Validation: Validate messages against HL7 standards to ensure compliance.
  • TCP/IP Communication: Easily transmit messages to production using TCP/IP settings.
  • Broad Message Type Support: Supports 184 different HL7 message types, ensuring versatility for various healthcare integration needs.
  • ClassMethod: Generate a Test Message by Invoking a Class Method
  • Version Support: Currently Supports HL7 Version 2.5

Question Shanwen Liu · Dec 10, 2024

Hey everyone, I am implementing version control with git-source-control on our codebase and I ran into a pretty strange issue. I believe I have the set up (mostly) correct as the behavior with .cls files is exactly as expected. However, I noticed that git is not keeping track of any changes to CSP files.

Specifically, if a new CSP file is created and saved, I will get the following output:

exporting new version of /csp/testdb/wrc.csp to C:\InterSystems\IRIS\mgr\repo\TESTDB\csp\testdb\wrc.csp

Added /csp/testdb/wrc.csp to source control.

Question Mike Yackanich · May 27, 2021

Hi all,

I'm performing a migration of some services from one instance to another, and I noticed that the technique defined within the InterSystems Server Migration Guide does not include OAuth client configurations. The recommended technique is to use the ##class(Security.System).ExportAll() and ##class(Security.System).ImportAll() methods.

Is there a way to migrate OAuth client configurations, or do those have to be re-created manually?

Hi everybody, 

I'm modifying a REST interface for a client but it seems impossible to me to modify HTTP Response Status and including custom HTTP Headers either.

My dispatch class (extending %CSP.REST) is contacted through a POST request and the latter is processed in a custom class (extending %CSP.REST as well) accessed as shown in the example below:

  <Route Url="/test" Method="POST" Call="Custom.Test:Process" />

Within the processing class I tried executing the following statements with no success:

Do%response.SetHeader("totalcount",totalcount)
Set%response.Status = ..#HTTP400BADREQUEST

This is like my first post in this community. Let's see how this turns out.
I have a question about the Intersystems Kubernetes Operator and the deployment of the webgateways.
I am responsible for the hosting and deployment of the apps. For the future we are planning to host our application in a kubernetes cluster. I am using the IKO for this.
I am using webgateways, for external access as separate pods. And sidecar containers for internal access, like the management portal.

I'm trying to rewrite a legacy portal created with all .csp files into a portal written in .cls files. The problem I have is that the old cap pages use "csp:include page='page.csp'> tags. I'm trying to use the Include method  that is in the %CSP.Page master page. It doesn't seem to insert the required file. Any suggestions?

Hello,
Please, we would need your help 🙂:

In a development environment, we have added quite a few presentation contexts to the DICOM configurations (the associations). We would need to find a way to export them from this environment to make it easier for us to import them in PRO (and avoid doing it by hand one by one).
