I may have mentioned this before: I believe the Visual Traces, these sequence diagrams with full content of each step, are a fantastic feature of the IRIS Data platform! Detailed information about how the API works internally, as a visual trace, can be very useful for projects on the IRIS platform. Of course, this applies when we are not developing a high-load solution, in which case we simply don't have time for saving/reading messages. For all other cases, welcome to this tutorial!

We are trying to track down significant growth within our Namespaces, one big culprit is Ens.AppData (EnsLib.SQL.Snapshot). 

Within many of our BPL's we use EnsLib.SQL.Snapshot to return Results from External SQL Stored Procedures or Query's. The same EnsLib.SQL.Snapshot context variable is used for many of these calls within a BPL. 

Is there something we should be doing at the end of the BPL to ensure that EnsLib.SQL.Snapshot gets cleaned up and purged from Ens.AppData?

How can I create a Task that tells a Ens.BusinessService to execute its SQL query using the EnsLib.SQL.InboundAdapter?

So far I have come up with

Class OSU.Workday.TerminationsTask Extends %SYS.Task.Definition
{

Parameter TaskName As STRING = "OSU - Workday Termination Update";

Method OnTask() As %Status
{
    try{
        // Call BusinessService
        set tSC = ##class(Ens.Director).CreateBusinessService("OSU.DataSource.Workday.TermService",.tService)

        if $IsObject(tService){
            set inputMessage = ##class(Ens.StringContainer).

Background

Emergency Medical Services (EMS) teams often arrive at the emergency department with patients whose demographics are incomplete or unknown—no medical record number (MRN), no confirmed name, and sometimes no date of birth. Yet EMS transportation notes still need to land in the correct chart.

To support safe and reliable documentation, EMS agencies, third-party integration services, and hospital integration teams build secure interfaces that exchange identifiers and clinical messages.

Hello everyone,

I am André from MedVertical. We are exploring InterSystems-native ways to operationalize continuous FHIR conformance: repeatable regression runs, baseline/delta comparisons, and evidence-style reporting to detect drift after releases and IG changes.

In many FHIR implementations, validation is done “point-in-time” in pre-prod, but conformance degrades in production due to IG/profile updates, terminology changes, mapping evolution, upstream releases, and configuration drift.

Hi Community,

We're super excited to share that we’ve just launched a new free, interactive tutorial designed especially for those who are new to InterSystems IRIS and looking for a clear, practical introduction to its core concepts.

🧑‍🏫 Data Models of InterSystems IRIS 🧑‍💻

Hi,
I'm pretty sure I'm not the first one to encounter this, so please share your solution
I'm trying to load a package with 2 dependencies, one of them has 5 dependencies..
is there a better tool / script / wizard for that?
 

IPM version 0.10.6 was released on February 24th, 2026. This version is mostly bug fixes, but does add the -export-python-deps flag to the package and publish  commands to include Python dependencies with the IPM module itself. As usual, you can check it out on the GitHub page or through the Community Registry. 

Here's the complete changelog:

Added

• #1024: Added flag -export-python-deps to publish command

Fixed

• #996: Ensure COS commands execute in exec under a dedicated, isolated context
• #1002: When listing configured repositories, only show the TokenAuthMethod when a token is defined.

Hi, Community!

Working with large volumes of data? See how streams can help:

Configuration differences between environments are not always mistakes, but they should always be intentional and governed. 

We're excited to announce that version 3.6 of JediSoft IRISsync® is now available, bringing enhancements designed to give teams more control and visibility when managing configuration settings across multiple IRIS instances.

What's new in IRISsync 3.6: 

• Accepted differences - Mark intentional configuration differences to provide further clarity in comparison results.

Hi 

Is there a sample that I can use to create a simple alert code, and do I need to set up or pay a service provider? 

Thanks

The facial recognition has become the most popular method for validating people's identities, thus enabling access to systems, confirmation of personal and documentary data, and approval of actions and documents.
The challenges are related to performance when the database is very large, accuracy, and especially the privacy of biometric facial data. For these challenges, nothing is better than using InterSystems Vector Search, as it allows:

1. Performing vector searches in millions of records with much faster responses than traditional methods.

Hello!

I am requesting feedback on the usage and experience of the Schema Viewer feature available in Interoperability-enabled products (IRIS, IRIS for Health, Health Connect). This feature is accessible via Interoperability > Interoperate. 

Some questions to jog your discussion/comments below:

1. What's one enhancement that would drastically change your experience or enable faster schema configurations?
2. If you are not a user of this feature (but need to create custom schemas/view your schemas), why do you not use the schema viewer?

Hello Community,

We are excited to announce that registration is now open for the second cohort of the course:

When using VS code with multiple workspaces it requests "The extension 'InterSystems ObjectScript' wants to sign in using InterSystems Server Credentials. 

Other than having multiple workspaces per environemnt (which never really works for me in principle as i end up code comparing in one manner or another) is there a way to only have intersystems log in to VS code whenever you open an actual workspace itself i.e. click on dev not on loading vscode. 

This would also get around errors of "unauthenticated access rejected by" errors as VS code tries to log in without the password first. 

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

CliniNote is a full-featured clinical notes application that combines classic CRUD operations with **real-time AI-assisted notes matching** powered by **InterSystems IRIS native vector search**. The standout feature: while a doctor is writing or editing a clinical note, a side panel shows the **top 5 most similar notes** based on the semantic content of the note being written — **excluding the current patient** to avoid trivial matches. This gives clinicians immediate access to "patients like this one" — helping with differential diagnosis, treatment pattern recognition, and rare presentation detection.

In the modern healthcare landscape, finding clinically similar patients often feels like looking for a needle in a haystack. Traditional keyword searches often fail because medical language is highly nuanced; a search for "Heart Failure" might miss a record containing "Congestive Cardiac Failure."

I am excited to share iris-medmatch, an AI-powered patient matching engine built on InterSystems IRIS for Health. By leveraging Vector Search, this tool understands clinical intent rather than just matching literal strings.

There are always those who say that their child looks more like their mother or their father. How about using math and Artificial Intelligence to be sure? The facial-matching application can answer you.
