We didn't start with a big AI strategy.
We had a legacy InterSystems Caché 2018 application, a lot of old business logic, and a practical need: build a new UI and improve code that had been running for years. At first, I thought an AI coding agent would help only with a small part of the work. Maybe some boilerplate, some REST work around the system, and a bit of help reading old ObjectScript.
In practice, it became much more than that.
hi 😊,
i'm able to LOAD DATA in IRIS from a rather complex, say Oracle's, query. It works pretty well but requires a target table created aforehand:
LOAD DATA FROM JDBC CONNECTION SOME_OTHER_SERVER QUERY 'complex query here' INTO TargetTableis there a way to base such target table on the same query ?
CREATE FOREIGN TABLE seems to require a column definition which I would prefer to be taken from the query
CREATE TABLE AS SELECT seems to be for local queries and other methods, like Linked Table Wizard or %SYSTEM.SQL.Schema.
The InterSystems Ready 2026 Conference is approaching fast — it's a great time to prepare and check your knowledge before attempting one of the Certification exams onsite .
InterSystems certifications aren't easy: you need to practice with questions aligned to the real exam objectives.
exam-prep.es is a free platform built for exactly that: practice, identify weak spots, and show up better prepared.

Hello everyone, thanks for reading this question.
I am currently working with Ens.Alerting.ManagedAlert in an interoperability production and I am using the alert suppression mechanism to avoid generating duplicate alerts within a defined time window (for example, 30 minutes).
The configuration works correctly in terms of preventing duplicate alerts from being generated, but I have a question regarding observability.
When an alert is suppressed during the configured time window, I can see log messages such as:
"Managed alert not created for AlertRequest with ID 'XXXX' due to rule 'Rules.

Hello everyone,
I’m looking to implement Continuous Training (CT) as part of an MLOps strategy for some data science projects in IRIS. I want to automate the full cycle:
- Monitoring model performance & accuracy degradation.
- Retraining models automatically.
- Validating and updating production models.
I’ve looked into IntegratedML, but it seems more focused on the SQL interface for training (AutoML). Even with the new Custom Models (beta), which allows for more flexibility with Python, it doesn't seem to provide the "Continuous" orchestration out of the box.
I’d like to know:
The 2025.1.3 maintenance releases of InterSystems IRIS® data platform,InterSystems IRIS® for HealthTM, and HealthShare® Health Connect are now Generally Available (GA).
The third developer previews of InterSystems IRIS® data platform,InterSystems IRIS® for Health, and HealthShare® Health Connect 2026.1 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 includes the dropping of Mac Intel support starting from 2026.1.0, and the adding back of Windows Server 2019 support to 2026.1.0.
Initial documentation can be found at these links below:
The 2025.3 release of InterSystems IRIS® data platform, InterSystems IRIS® for Health, and HealthShare® Health Connect is now Generally Available (GA). This is a Continuous Delivery (CD) release.
Release Highlights:
I am regularly contacted by customers about memory sizing when they get alerts that free memory is below a threshold, or they observe that free memory has dropped suddenly. Is there a problem? Will their application stop working because it has run out of memory for running system and application processes? Nearly always, the answer is no, there is nothing to worry about. But that simple answer is usually not enough. What's going on?
Consider the chart below. It is showing the output of the free metric in vmstat
The 2025.1.2 and 2024.1.5 maintenance releases of InterSystems IRIS® data platform,InterSystems IRIS® for HealthTM, and HealthShare® Health Connect are now Generally Available (GA).
One of the recommendations when deploying InterSystems Technologies for production is to set up High Availability. The recommended API Manager for these InterSystems Technologies is the InterSystems API Manager (IAM). IAM (essentially Kong Gateway) has multiple deployment topologies.
If you are looking for high availability you could use:
a) Kong Traditional Mode: Multiple Node Clusters
b) Hybrid Mode
c) DB-less Mode
Before we break them down let's first understand the out of the box deployment that is provided by InterSystems: Installing IAM Version 3.10.
I joined InterSystems less than a year ago. Diving into ObjectScript and IRIS was exciting, but also full of small surprises that tripped me up at the beginning. In this article I collect the most common mistakes I, and many new colleagues, make, explain why they happen, and show concrete examples and practical fixes. My goal is to help other new developers save time and avoid the same bumps in the road.
The issue: ObjectScript/IRIS ships with many system classes and packages (%Library, %SYS, %Persistent, %SQL, etc.).
A benefit of using Doxygenerate is that Doxygen does more than just HTML output. Tweak the Doxyfile that tells Doxygen what to do and you can easily create a PDF. Our example MARINA application yielded a 524-page PDF. Here's what page 94 looks like:

You can browse the whole file here.
In the screenshot above, notice how we only get details of the superclass that is part of the app (AuditHistory). The primary superclass, %Library.SerialObject, is shown faded and with no details of what BankDetails inherits from it.
IAM - InterSystems API Manager is a great tool for monitoring your traffic. If you are trying to use it in your Kubernetes cluster you may have tried doing a deployment similar to this one:
apiVersion: intersystems.com/v1alpha1
kind: IrisCluster
metadata:
name: iris
spec:
licenseKeySecret:
name: iris-key-secret
configSource:
name: iris-cpf
imagePullSecrets:

compatibilityVersion: "2024.1.Hi, I'm wondering what are the diferences between a method or classmethod with the language set at tsql and a querry writen in sql.
If anyone know if there is some difference and what they are, I would be glad to learn. 😊

I was wondering what best practice was for using macros in Embedded Python, i.e. iris.execute('$$$MACRO()') or something else. Does anyone have insight into this?
Hi everyone,
It's me again😁. As usual I would like to share something I study recently, and today, I would like to share about the document DB😁.
1st of all, let's go to the documentation https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=GDOCDB_intro
Well, I must say, this one is much better to follow than the others, which I read before. 😭 Finally😭😭
Ok, let's start walking through it together
Here we go😀, we start a terminal from VSCode to connect to our IRIS

Hi Community,
We’re excited to introduce the AskMe assistant—try it out for yourself!
If you look at the values.yaml of the IKO's Helm chart you'll find:
useIrisFsGroup: false Let's break down what it is and in what situations you may want to set it to true.
FsGroup refers to the file system group.
By default, Kubernetes volumes are owned by root, but we need IRIS to own its files (IRIS in containers is installed under irisowner user). To get around this we employ one of two methods:
The initContainers run before app containers (like IRIS) in a pod. They generally set up the environment for the application and then run to completion/terminate.

In the process of trying to get more familiar with Objectscript I decided to try to build a general priority queue since I wasn't able to find an implementation anywhere. My though process for implementing this followed this general path.
My first though to try to make this work quickly was to implement a binary heap and my first attempt at this used a multidimensional to build it. This version was relatively efficient, worked for strings/numbers natively, and worked for objects be letting the user override the comparitor.
Class pqueue.As of InterSystems IRIS® data platform version 2025.1, InterSystems is officially deprecating MultiValue and including it in the Deprecated and Discontinued Features list. While InterSystems will continue to support existing customers using MultiValue, it is not recommended for new applications.
