⏯️ AI-Assisted Rare and Complex Disease Detection

This demo shows how InterSystems Health Gateway can be used to pull in outside patient records from networks like Carequality, CommonWell, and eHealth Exchange, creating a more complete longitudinal view in a clinical viewer. That full record is then analyzed by AI to surface potential rare disease considerations with clear reasoning, helping clinicians see patterns they might otherwise miss.

Question Yuriy Borokhov · May 6

Hi Everyone,

We are looking for a way to disable production Business Services concurrently so that the whole process takes shorter amount time than just going sequentially in a loop and disable them one at a time (very slow). This is necessary for us to be able to stop all traffic to IRIS so that no data remains after we perform full production stop. 

Thank you!

⏯️ Health Galaxy: AI-Enabling Healthcare Applications

Health Galaxy creates an AI access point on top of any FHIR server, bringing healthcare into the AI future that has become a reality for many other industries. 

  • AI access: Health Galaxy gives AI agents a single gateway into any healthcare system, so they can pull patient data, schedule appointments, and check insurance automatically instead of a human doing it manually. 
  • Ease of use: You point it at an existing FHIR endpoint, click a button, and it generates an MCP endpoint automatically from the capability statement. 
  • FHIR: Since we are using FHIR, we can leverage both the storage and exchange capabilities of InterSystems IRIS.

Question Touggourt · May 5

Hi Guys,

I've the below code to build JSON and send it via httpRequest called from business Operation.

But I'm getting this error, which I'm guessing that the formulated JSON doesn't have the correct format, so I was looking to convert the JSONStream to JSON string and try to validate it so see where the JSON is broken, problem is that I'm expecting that there will thousands of records in this JSON so it will hard to go through it, so is there a way to track for error or why this JSON is failing to send    

Thanks

Question Scott Roth · Apr 23

Was wondering if anyone had a Dynamic way to see if a Global is still being used by a Class File. 

We have been monitoring our Global Size recently, and I am trying to find problematic Class files that are not being cleaned up or used appropriately. I have come across some globals that do not seem to have a Class attached to them anymore, and instead of deleting globals 1 by 1, I was looking for a way that we could dynamically do this since the globals have data that is stale in them.

Thanks

Scott

Question Glenn Elliott · May 6

I have a question around mapping between different datasets during the HL7 -> SDA3 -> FHIR transformation.

We have a FHIR server which uses the standard ISC HL7->SDA3->FHIR conversion when ingesting HL7 messages. There is the odd requirement to enrich FHIR data from the original HL7 message. due to site specific HL7. Our approach is to extend HS.Gateway.HL7.HL7ToSDA3 with a custom GetSDA method that includes the original HL7 Message ID via CustomPairs.

Below is an update to the IRIS release calendar for 2026 and an early look at the planned changes for 2027. The key takeaway for 2026 is that maintenance release numbering will differ slightly from prior years.

2026: IRIS 2026.1 maintenance release numbering

  • July 2026: first maintenance release for IRIS 2026.1 (planned version: 2026.1.4)
  • October 2026: next maintenance release (planned version: 2026.1.5)
  • February 2027: following maintenance release (planned version: 2026.1.6)

This numbering change prepares us for the expanded maintenance cadence planned for 2027.

A very important feature for HL7 FHIR has been introduced with the release of v2026.1 - the support for SMART on FHIR v2 fine-grained granular Scopes.

This enables you to be much stricter and more accurate in the access you provide to the data in your FHIR repository.

Part of this new support is to refuse requests that don't match the scopes, but an even more interesting ability is to filter the results according to the provided scopes.

Table Partitioning Demo

This demo walks you through the new Table Partitioning feature in IRIS SQL, explaining what it does and how it works along the way. We'll only use a few dozen rows to prove the concept, but obviously the capability is focused on datasets many orders of magnitude larger.

If you'd like a shorter, higher-level introduction to Table Partitioning, check out the online learning module Managing Tables with Partitioning in InterSystems IRIS

 

ℹ️ Table Partitioning is included in IRIS 2026.1 as an experimental feature

Question Ganesh Jagtap · Apr 17

Hi Team,

We are currently running InterSystems Caché 2018 on an IBM AIX server and would like to configure the Cache instance to start automatically when the server boots or is rebooted.

Could you please provide the recommended steps or any official scripts/guidelines to enable auto-start for the Cache instance (QA2018) on AIX?

Additionally, if there are any best practices or prerequisites (such as filesystem mount options, service dependencies, or startup order) that we should consider, please share those as well.

Thanks,
Ganesh

Hi, every one. Again, it's me!!😀😀

Recently I was trying to organize some learning materials for InterSystems IRIS😆, and realized that the resources are actually quite scattered.🤐

So I put together a list here—grouped by categories—for anyone who:

  • is new to InterSystems
  • or wants to go deeper into specific areas

Also adding some of my own experience on what worked (and what didn’t, may be only not work for me🤫🤐).

Question Scott Roth · Apr 13

This past weekend we ran into something odd. When we failed over our mirror from 2022.1.3 to 2025.1.3 the one of the Business Rules that was on what became the Primary (2025.1.3), had a rule within it that was removed back in January. When the Failover occurred, we had to scramble to backup, disable, and remove the Rule that shouldn't have been there. 

Both the Data and Code live within the same IRIS.dat that is the main MIRROR database for that Namespace. 

If this happened to one Class file, could it happen to others we do not know about?

Hi Community,

In our two preceding articles, we explored the fundamentals of the Interoperability Embedded Python (IoP) framework, including message handling, production setup, and Python-based business components.

In this third piece, we will examine advanced methodologies and practical patterns within the IoP framework that are pivotal for real-world interoperability implementations.
We will explore the following topics: 

DTL (Data Transformation Language) in IoP
✅ JSON Schema Support
✅ Effective Debugging Techniques

Collectively, these features help us create maintainable, validated, and easily troubleshootable production-grade interoperability solutions.
