My team is trying to decide on the best Git strategy for a group of related but separate projects/environments.

One side prefers one repo per project/environment/namespace for cleaner separation. The other side prefers one repo with multiple project folders so shared code and releases are easier to manage in one place.

The challenge is that these projects are separate enough that boundaries matter but related enough that some utilities and common logic may need to be reused. We also want the setup to be easy for developers to understand and not become a deployment nightmare later.

v2026.1 was just released as GA, and one of the features I'm looking forward to using is the DTL Explainer feature.

This allows you to take a Data Transformation, and with a click of a button get a human-readable description of the transformation (which you can also use as the basis for the DTL Description).

For complex DTLs, especially ones you didn't write yourself, or you did but a long time ago, this will allow you to get a clear quick understanding of what it's doing.

Introduction

FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) is the modern standard for storing and exchanging clinical data. But once your data is in a FHIR server, how do you actually explore it? FHIR data is stored as JSON — powerful, but not practical to read directly. I wanted a tool where you could click on a patient, see their conditions, medications, lab results, and more — in a clean, readable format. So I built the FHIR Patient Viewer.

How It Works

The app runs entirely in Docker and connects directly to an InterSystems IRIS for Health FHIR server.

Working with files often starts off simple. open the file, read, and process. That approach works perfectly well, until the file happens to be an Excel file.

A Common Assumption

At first, an Excel file (.xlsx) looks like just another data file, rows, columns and values. nothing unusual. So it's natural to assume it can be read the same way as a .txt ot .csv file. But that's where things start to break.

Why Excel files behave differently

The key difference is how the data is stored:

-> .txt / .csv - plain text, line-by-line.

-> .

Question Nezla · Mar 26

Hi Guys,

I've connected VS Code to my IRIS server and can see projects & web application option but not Classes tab, how can I add it, and with the old Studio we do have the Inspector tab where we can check properties, Storage, methods, are these available in VS code?

also does any changes or new classes created via VS code automatically reflected in my IRIS namespace ? 

Thanks

Question Scott Roth · Mar 23

I have created the following Task to kick off a Ens.BusinessService to execute a SQL query and process the results

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

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

Method OnTask() As %Status
{
    #Dim sc as %Status
    #Dim ex as %Exception.AbstractException
    
    set sc = $$$OK

    try{
        // create the service
        #Dim tService As OSU.DataSource.Workday.TermService
        Set tServiceConfigName = "OSU.DataSource.Workday.

Question Oliver Wilms · Mar 23

Hello, I am working with @Alberto Fuentes https://openexchange.intersystems.com/package/workshop-iris-oauth2.

I wonder how do I get a token to send to the resserver?

I tried calling "token_endpoint" : "https://webserver/authserver/oauth2/token"

The response was "error":"invalid_request","error_description":"Unknown grant_type"

I wonder what needs to be in the request body? Is it a GET or POST?
