Question Oliver Wilms · Nov 27, 2025

I am using IRIS for Windows (x86-64) 2022.1 (Build 209) Tue May 31 2022 12:27:55 EDT [Health:3.5.0]. I created Interoperability Production with a Service to read file from S3 bucket and an Operation to write files to a different S3 bucket. I specified AWS ProviderCredentialsFile.

I see "Terminating Job 7096 / 'From S3 Bucket' with Status = ERROR #5023: Remote Gateway Error: Connection cannot be established, %QuitTask=

Do I need anything like Python libraries or AWS CLI to make this work?

Hi,

We're working on new capabilities to help you build Agents and AI applications faster with InterSystems IRIS. In order to better understand which entry points and development methodologies would help you most, we've created this brief survey: Building AI solutions with InterSystems IRIS. 

Filling it in should not take much more than 5 minutes, and your feedback on this exciting topic will help us fine tune our designs and prioritize the right features.

Thanks in advance!

We're excited to announce the Early Access Program for IntegratedML Custom Models, a powerful new capability coming in IRIS 2026.1!

What Is It?

IntegratedML Custom Models extends the existing IntegratedML/AutoML feature by letting you deploy your own custom Python ML models directly within SQL queries.

In this article I will be discussing the use of an alternative LLM for generative IA. OpenIA is commonly used, in this article I will show you how to use it and the advantages of using Ollama

In the generative AI usage model that we are used to, we have the following flow:

  • we take texts from a data source (a file, for example) and embedding that text into vectors
  • we store the vectors in an IRIS database.
  • we call an LLM (Large Language Model) that accesses these vectors as context to generate responses in human language.

We have great examples of this in this community, such as IRIS Vector

Question Scott Roth · Dec 1, 2025

Within Provider Data Management, I wanted a way to capture the Code Table mapping errors thrown by HSPD.MDM.FlowControl.Process into a Workflow Task for someone to work. However, because HSPD.MDM.FlowControl.Process can get overwritten during the upgrade process, I cloned it into another Business Process so we can use Workflow Tasks to troubleshoot mapping errors.

This new Business Process will send the Errors to the Workflow Task Operation, but because it is not the HSPD.MDM.FlowControl.Process resubmitting the message will not resubmit the record to be processed through

Question Scott Roth · Dec 1, 2025

I am working on building out a Workflow task that captures errors in mapping to specific tables. Within the Workflow task, I would like to give the owner of the task the ability to resubmit message once the mapping has been corrected. Is there a way to do it in a similar fashion to pulling up the Trace ie...

EnsPortal.VisualTrace.zen?SESSIONID=#(%task.%FormValues.GetAt("MsgHdrID"))#" target="_blank">View Message Trace

Is there a one liner that could be called to resubmit the MsgHdrID (Session ID) from its source to post it again?

When using standard SQL or the object layer in InterSystems IRIS, metadata consistency is usually maintained through built-in validation and type enforcement. However, legacy systems that bypass these layers—directly accessing globals—can introduce subtle and serious inconsistencies.

Understanding how drivers behave in these edge cases is crucial for diagnosing legacy data issues and ensuring application reliability.
The DATATYPE_SAMPLE database is designed to help analyze error scenarios where column values do not conform to the data types or constraints defined in the metadata.

Since the introduction of Embedded Python there has always been doubt about its performance compared to ObjectScript and on more than one occasion I have discussed this with @Guillaume Rongier , well, taking advantage of the fact that I was making a small application to capture data from public competitions in Spain and to be able to perform searches using the capabilities of VectorSearch I saw the opportunity to carry out a small test.

Data for the test

Public tender information is provided monthly in XML files from this URL  and the typical format of a tender information is as follows:

Question Scott Roth · Nov 25, 2025

I am trying to add validation to a RecordMap, because the source of the data sent file sent us bad data within the file. So, I am using PATTERN to verify certain fields start with Numeric, and Alpha where applicable. When the EnsLib.RecordMap.Service.FTPService runs into an issue it doesn't seem like it continues onto the next record if the record does not meet the validation requirements. 

How can I tell EnsLib.RecordMap.Service.FTPService to log the error and continue onto the next record, so those records that fail are not processed?

I am trying to add some validation to an existing Record Map, because recently we had some wrong data get consumed into the System and is causing all kinds of havoc.

Using the AI on the Developer community it suggested that I use PATTERN within the Datatype Parameters to force some validation on some fields. I have never used PATTERN before...

When I go to generate the updated Record Map, I am getting the following...

I copied a Business Process router and did a Save As on its routing rule. I added the new routing rule to my new Business Process router.  However, when I click the green circle next to my new Business Process router it shows the old Business Process router connection.  Anyone know the cause and fix for this?  I found a old post that said to add a Route Alias. But that did not work.

Hi community!

I am excited to say that since the beginning of this year we have published many of the client SDKs for InterSystems IRIS, InterSystems IRIS for Health and Health Connect to the corresponding external repositories (Maven, NuGet, npm and PyPI). This provides many benefits to you such as:

  • You can access the latest releases for a client SDK as soon as they get published, independent of the InterSystems IRIS release cadence
  • You can integrate the SDKs as a dependency with the native package manager tool within your ecosystem and manage dependencies in an industry-standard way

gj :: configExplorer is a new VS Code extension integrating with Server Manager and leveraging Structurizr to produce configuration diagrams of your servers.

Here's a short introductory video.

By using the InterSystems IRIS Native API for Node.js it avoids the need for any support code to be installed on the servers. This technology choice also qualifies it for entry into the current Developer Community contest.

The initial release focuses on two aspects of server configuration:

  • Namespaces and databases
  • ECP connectivity

Suggestions for what to add next are welcome, as is general feedback.

A previous attempt was assisted by an external Python method.
This is all classic CSP written with ISOS, JavaScript, HTML
Besides the graphic, you also get concrete numbers freshly collected from your local
instance or from remote instances that also installed the package. 

The final result

The processing steps 

  • A CSP page is called by its URL
  • In method OnPreHTTP
    • The System Query fills the temp table from %SYS
    • If the correct URL parameter is provided 
    • ?SERVER=IP-Address[:SuperServerPort[:Username[:Password]]]
    • Actual data are fetched from this server using the Native API for ObjectScript

In today’s healthcare data landscape, FHIR has become the standard for structured clinical data exchange. However, while FHIR excels at interoperability, its JSON format makes analytics challenging—including FHIR QuestionnaireResponse.

This project demonstrates how to transform FHIR QuestionnaireResponse data from nested JSON into relational SQL tables and vector embeddings. By integrating the InterSystems IRIS FHIR SQL Builder and Vector Search, we unlock the semantic meaning behind patient answers.

Three Steps to Build It

1. Design and Collect the Questionnaire

Hola amigo! 😊 Cómo estás hoy,

I would like to share a small part of my learnings from my first ever official project: POS/EDC machine integration with our billing system. This was an exciting challenge where I got hands-on experience working with APIs and vendors. 

How does a Payment Machine actually work?

It's simple, start by initiating/creating a transaction, then retrieve its payment status.

Here, initiate/create refers to POST method and Retrieve refers to GET.
