⏯️ Closing the Scientific Knowledge Gap with AI

For venture capitalists (VCs), evaluating research can be challenging. While researchers typically possess years of training and deep expertise in their field, the VCs tasked with assessing their work often lack domain-specific knowledge. This can lead to incomplete understanding of scientific data and an inability to direct organizational initiatives. To solve this problem, we have designed a solution that empowers VCs with AI-driven due diligence: ResearchExplorer. ResearchExplorer is powered by InterSystems IRIS and GPT-4o to help analyze private biomedical research alongside public sources like PubMed using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Users submit natural language queries, and the system returns structured insights, head-to-head research comparisons, and AI-generated summaries. This allows users to bridge expertise gaps while securely protecting proprietary data.

I am trying to create users who only have `%SQL` Role for the INSTANCE. But I am unable to find any documentation on the ` Security.Users` class.

Hi,

After converting from Ensemble 2018 to IRIS 2024 I noticed that HTML tag is not recognized?

I just copied & pasted this same from Ensemble to IRIS and in Ensemble looks fine!?

Thanks

In the modern world, the most valuable asset for companies is their data. Everything from business processes and applications to transactions is based on data which defines the success of the organization's operations, analysis, and decisions. In this scenario, the data structures need to be ready for frequent changes, yet in a managed and governed way. Otherwise, we will inevitably lose money, time, and quality of corporate solutions.

InterSystems IRIS 2025.2 introduces the IRISSECURITY database, the new home for security data. Unlike IRISSYS, the previous home for security data, IRISSECURITY can be encrypted, which secures your sensitive data at rest. In a future version, IRISSECURITY will be mirrorable.

This version also introduces the %SecurityAdministrator role for general security administration tasks.

Hi Community!

We’re pleased to announce that several Early Access Programs (EAPs) are now open for registration. These programs provide developers with the opportunity to explore upcoming features and technologies from InterSystems before their general release.

By joining an EAP, you can:

• Evaluate and test new functionality
• Provide direct feedback to product teams
• Help shape the future direction of InterSystems platforms

If you're interested in contributing to the evolution of our tools and getting early insight into what's coming next, we encourage you to review the following available programs and sign up:

This will be an introduction to Python programming in the context of IRIS.

Before anything I will cover an important topic: How python works, this will help you understand some issues and limitations you may encounter when working with Python in IRIS.

All the articles and examples can be found in this git repository: iris-python-article

Faced with the enormous and evergrowing amounts of data being generated in the world today, software architects need to pay special attention to the scalability of their solutions. They must also design systems that can, when needed, handle many thousands of concurrent users. It’s not easy, but designing for massive scalability is an absolute necessity.

Software architects have several options for designing scalable systems. They can scale vertically by using bigger machines with dozens of cores. They can use data distribution (replication) techniques to scale horizontally for increasing numbers of users. And they can scale data volume horizontally through the use of a data partitioning strategy. In practice, software architects will employ several of these techniques, trading off hardware costs, code complexity, and ease of deployment to suit their particular needs.

This article will discuss how InterSystems IRIS Data Platform supports vertical scalability and horizontal scalability of both user and data volumes. It will outline several options for distributing and partitioning data and/or user volume, giving scenarios in which each option would be particularly useful. Finally, this paper will talk about how InterSystems IRIS helps simplify the configuration and provisioning of distributed systems.

Hi,

Using the below code to connect and get data from a server:

Hi Guys,

I am doing a form POST to myself (same class) and when I do the form action it gets a page similar to the error page but just says:

Invalid action

There is nothing in the application error log. How can I troubleshoot this?

Dear community, I have a confession to make. I have not gotten over Zen yet. Alas, all good things must come to an EOF, so I am currently learning about Angular. I am working on proving to myself that with the right back end and Angular components, I can deliver to myself and my team a very Zen-like experience in this environment.

For my intern project, I am building a Flask REST API backend. My goal is to host it on InterSystems IRIS using the WSGI interface. This is a relatively new approach and is currently only being used in a handful of projects such as AskMe. To help others get started, I decided to write this article to simplify the process.
