Hi Community!
We’re building a series of short, hands-on Instruqt tutorials to help newcomers get up to speed with InterSystems technologies faster and more effectively. To kick things off, we’ve just released a new tutorial, “Data Models of InterSystems IRIS,” covering the fundamentals of the IRIS multimodel approach. This is exactly the type of focused, concise, practical learning experience we want to expand. And this is where you come in!
We’d love to hear your ideas for other tutorial topics to help developers new to InterSystems IRIS take their first steps with confidence. Please welcome the new sweepstakes:

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:

Hi InterSystems Community! I'm Sidd one of the interns at the Singapore office and I recently had the chance to develop to develop a driver to connect IRIS to Metabase to help some of the Sales Engineers here. I was encouraged to share it here so that if any others have a similar issue they can use the driver and as well as get some feedback on potential improvements. The full GitHub repo with the quick start step, brief overview and the driver building process can be found here

Once upon a time in Ensemble Management Portal the pool size of each component (Business Host) within the production was displayed in the Production Configuration page.
This information was very useful, especially when a production have tens or hundreds of components.

Now days the pool size is no longer displayed in the Production Configuration page and to get the pool size you need to click in each and every host in your production.
What if you have hundreds of business hosts and you need to check the pool size of each? It's a nightmare!
Hello there 🙋♂️,
I'm looking towards a functionality alike Python's difflib, but made with Intersystems products. I already know could embed Python code within IRIS but thought maybe there was a development already done for handling deltas, with a different approach or extra utils.
Even if I find such a library after comparing both might still go with difflib or any other more suitable. Intend to use it for a cross-environment checklist/check tool.
Please find below a sample of HTML rendering computed and made with difflib, with a few lines of code:
thanks ! best regards,

Hi Developers!
Welcome to Issue #18 of the InterSystems Ideas newsletter! This edition highlights the latest implemented ideas:
✓ Ideas brought to life during the "Bringing Ideas to Reality" programming contest
✓ Ideas implemented by InterSystems in Q4 2024
✓ New article featuring an idea realized by the talented Musketeers team
This article is part of a series showcasing the implementation of ideas from the Ideas Portal, where innovative concepts come to life!
Many InterSystems IRIS developers frequently need to create unit tests for ObjectScript classes — a process often done manually. The iris-tripleslash application revolutionizes this by automatically generating unit test classes with test methods for all the class methods of the original class. Developed by the talented Musketeers team — @José Pereira, @Henrique Dias, @henry — this tool was inspired by an idea shared by @Evgeny Shvarov on the Ideas Portal: "Add a project that helps to generate unittests for an ObjectScript class".
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.
