I already mentioned in a Previous post I am trying to build a list from a repeatable field within a HL7 message. I figured out how to build the list by using a context list string variable within the Business Process (BPL) and doing a

do context.<variable>.Insert = <value>

 when I am looping through the field. I want to do it one step farther though... I want to search the list to see if the value exists before I do the insert. I only want to insert if the value is different than what is in the list already.

IF $LF(context.Facilities,##class(Ens.Rule.FunctionSet).

Hello,

as it took me some time to figure out what's wrong, I would like to share this experience, so that you do not fall into the same trap.

I've just noticed that if you name your package "code" (all lowercase), in a class using some embedded python using [Language = python], you'll face the <THROW> *%Exception.PythonException <PYTHON EXCEPTION> 246 <class 'ModuleNotFoundError'>: No module named 'code.basics'; 'code' is not a package

Class code.basics Extends %RegisteredObject

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.

What This Means for You:

• Continued Support: Support for MultiValue will still be available through the Worldwide Response Center (WRC) on a "best effort" basis, as is provided for releases older than our Minimum Supported Versions.

In 2023, according to IDC, Salesforce's market share in CRM reached 21.7%. This company owns a substantial amount of critical corporate business processes and data, so the InterSystems IRIS must have an interoperability connector to fetch data from the Salesforce data catalog. This article will show you how to get any data hosted by Salesforce and create an interoperation production to get data and send it to such targets as files and relational databases.

Developing with InterSystems Objects and SQL – In Person (Boston, MA) March 24-28, 2025

• This 5-day course teaches programmers how to use the tools and techniques within the InterSystems® development environment.
• Students develop a database application using object-oriented design, building different types of IRIS classes.
  
  • They learn how to store and retrieve data using Objects or SQL, and decide which approach is best for different use cases.

Introduction

To achieve optimized AI performance, robust explainability, adaptability, and efficiency in healthcare solutions, InterSystems IRIS serves as the core foundation for a project within the x-rAI multi-agentic framework. This article provides an in-depth look at how InterSystems IRIS empowers the development of a real-time health data analytics platform, enabling advanced analytics and actionable insights. The solution leverages the strengths of InterSystems IRIS, including dynamic SQL, native vector search capabilities, distributed caching (ECP), and FHIR interoperability. This innovative approach directly aligns with the contest themes of "Using Dynamic SQL & Embedded SQL," "GenAI, Vector Search," and "FHIR, EHR," showcasing a practical application of InterSystems IRIS in a critical healthcare context.

How to send the HL7 Batch messages over a SOAP webservice which takes 3 credentials(Username, Password& Org.ID) using IRIS Management Portal V 2019.1?

WSDL   xsd : element - 1.Username , 2.Password ,3.Org.ID ,4.HL7 Message.

Info I had -  

Source is CSV File will be translated to HL7 using data Transformations. All the transformed messages need to be sent to destination System through SOAP request as a single Batch File.

Challenge faced was - How to send the request message (Message Structure asked : Username , Password, Org.ID and HL7 message )in batch transformation.

I'm looking for some simple heuristics to estimate the size on disk of a database based on average size of messages, number of messages per day and purge frequency. The purpose is for estimation of disk space requirements.

Clearly this is a how long is a piece of string question but for example, if you have a simple HL7 routing production that does nothing but process HL7. It receives 10,000 HL7v2 messages per day (all approx 1kb on the wire) in a single service, passes them to a single router and outputs to a single operation.

Hi,
I want to automate a menu based program for which I don't have the source

If I run it interactively I do this:
do ^<program>

It presents a menu and then you can go down further menus

Based on the selection it may ask for answers to other questions.

Is there some way I give the program a "response" file?

If not would I be able to use I/O redirection for this task?
Inputs would come from a file.
Output should go to the terminal (so I monitor how far the process has gone)

I have seen some examples of redirection code and it seems quite complicated.

IRIS runs on a Linux server

I have been trying to get to grips with the new dot Net Gateway used in IRIS as the import of the DLL to construct proxy classes is no longer supported in IRIS I have a third party DLL that when I try to instantiate throws an error complaining about the class not instantiated as it does not support parameterless constructor .I am using this new 

set gateway = $system.external.getDotNetGateway()
do gateway.addToPath(myPath_"\DotNetGatewaySamples.

Hi All,

How can I customize the file path of my FTP outbound adapter.

I have a custom business operation that extends "EnsLib.FTP.InboundAdapter", in which I need to update the file path of my FTP server location.

Hello everyone

For those interested, here is an implementation example I used in one of my projects to interoperate with MongoDB using the pymongo package.

iris-mongodb

Interoperates with MongoDB (via pymongo package) with InterSystems IRIS (including outbound adapter)

Remember to import pymongo package.

implementation example for testing here

NAMESPACE> do ##class(custom.python.pymongo.test).TestMongoDBCrud()

for interoperability, use the following adapter in your business operation:

Parameter ADAPTER = "custom.python.pymongo.

Long shot but is there a way to see which user created an Operation (for example) in Iris?

Anyone know how to subtract three hours from  $ZDATETIME($HOROLOG,3)?

If $ZDATETIME($HOROLOG,3) returns 2025-01-30 10:17:04, I would like $ZDATETIME($HOROLOG,3) - 3 hours to return 2025-01-30 07:17:04

What is the recommended library for converting documents to pdf. Any suggestions welcome has anyone out there had a use case where they had to convert documents to pdf .What worked for them .I have asked WRC for the best practice and they have recommended that may be  a sale engineer might have an answer to this .

Hello everyone!

I have set up an EnsLib.REST.GenericService with an  EnsLib.HTTP.InboundAdapter which forwards the http requests received by a web app to my Business Process. 

I would like to parse HTTP multipart/form messages I am receving and be able to iterate over the various fields within the request body, accessing its content type and the content itself.

As far as I understand I should use the %Net.MIMEReader class which should return a list of %Net.MIMEPart, one for each field within the request. However if I do : 

Set mimeReader = ##class(%Net.MIMEReader).%New()
Set sc = mimeReader.

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.

Hi Everyone!

The Certification Team of InterSystems Learning Services is currently developing an InterSystems ObjectScript Specialist certification exam. Earlier this month we reached out to our community for feedback that will help us evaluate and establish the contents of this exam. We are still currently accepting responses and would love to hear your feedback!

Please note that this is one of two exams being developed to replace our InterSystems IRIS Core Solutions Developer exam. You can find more details about the other exam, InterSystems IRIS Developer Professional exam, here.

The IKO will dynamically provision storage in the form of persistent volumes and pods will claim them via persistent volume claims.

But storage can come in different shapes and sizes. The blueprint to the details about the persistent volumes comes in the form of the storage class.

This raises the question: we've deployed the IrisCluster, and haven't specified a storage class yet. So what's going on?

You'll notice that with a simple

kubectl get storageclass

you'll find the storage classes that exist in your cluster.

Since .Net has a unified package manager system (Nuget.org) why doesn't Intersystems create and add a nuget package (.nupkg) containing the InterSystems.Data.IRISClient.dll file.

This would make it easier for external .net developers to obtain the package for creating tools and/or applications that utilize Iris/Iris4Health

Can  Intersystems create a nuget package?

InterSystems worked closely with the Red Hat Insights team to implement a curated set of recommendations for system administrators to ensure the best experience running InterSystems IRIS on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). Included with all RHEL subscriptions, the Insights service proactively identifies potential issues with monitored platforms and applications running on RHEL. Through our joint collaboration, Insights now watches for common scenarios that decrease the performance of IRIS in most cases and offers an InterSystems-approved recommendation for consideration.

We currently use a combination of Ghostscript and ImageMagick to accomplish our PDF requirements.  These products are ceating memory/cpu issues when merging large PDFS.  I am trying to find out if Intersystems Reports can handle our requirements (see below).

Hi Community,

This is a detailed, candid walkthrough of the IRIS AI Studio platform. I speak out loud on my thoughts while trying different examples, some of which fail to deliver expected results -  which I believe is a need for such a platform to explore different models, configurations and limitations. This will be helpful if you're interested in how to build 'Chat with PDF' or data recommendation systems using IRIS DB and LLM models.

I have a flask application, its working locally. I also have a iris for health 2024.3 docker container front-ended with the iris nginx container.

I can configure the WSGI application with iris for health, give it a "url" (/flask or /csp/flask) but I cannot access the flask application. It looks like the url is not found within the nginx configuration. Is there any documentation or suggestion for configuration/enabling a flask app with a IRIS container front ended with the nginx container (provided by intersystems container registry) 

February 19, 2025 – Alert: SQL Queries Returning Wrong Results

InterSystems has corrected two issues that can cause a small number of SQL queries to return incorrect results. In addition, InterSystems has corrected an inconsistency in date/time datatype handling that may lead to different, unexpected – yet correct – results for existing applications that rely on the earlier, inconsistent behavior.

Hi Community,

We're pleased to invite you to the upcoming webinar in Hebrew:

👉 Hebrew Webinar: GenAI + RAG - Leveraging Intersystems IRIS as your Vector DB👈

📅 Date & time: February 26th, 3:00 PM IDT

Hi beloved members of the Community!

It is very common in the daily life of IRIS or Health Connect users that it is necessary to install new instances or update the ones they already have and in many cases it is not these same users who carry out the installation, but rather systems personnel who often do not take into account the particularities of the assignment of permissions necessary for the installation.
