InterSystems IRIS is a Complete Data Platform
InterSystems IRIS gives you everything you need to capture, share, understand, and act upon your organization’s most valuable asset – your data.
As a complete platform, InterSystems IRIS eliminates the need to integrate multiple development technologies. Applications require less code, fewer system resources, and less maintenance.

Introduction

Businesses often use in-memory databases or key-value stores (caching layers) when applications require extremely high performance. However, in-memory databases incur a high total cost of ownership and have hard scalability limits, incurring reliability problems and restart delays when memory limits are exceeded. In-memory key-value stores share these limitations and introduce architectural complexity and network latency as well.

This article explains why InterSystems IRIS™ data platform is a superior alternative to in-memory databases and key-value stores for highperformance SQL and NoSQL applications.

Taking Performance and Efficiency to the Next Level

InterSystems IRIS is the only persistent database that can match or beat the performance of in-memory databases and caching layers for concurrent data ingestion and analytics processing. It can process incoming transactions, persist the data to disk, and index it for analytics in under one microsecond on commercially available hardware without introducing network latency.

The superior ingest performance of InterSystems IRIS results in part from its multi-dimensional data engine, which allows efficient and compact storage in a rich data structure. Using an efficient, multi-dimensional data model with sparse storage techniques instead of two-dimensional tables, random data access and updates are accomplished with very high performance, fewer resources and less disk capacity. It also provides in-memory, in-process APIs in addition to traditional TCP/IP access APIs to optimize ingest performance.

Not sure where to ask for some helpful hints about IRIS 2019.1 in 2025, but here goes.

I'm trying to create a new Java gateway to run some Java code through ObjectScript, but I keep getting an error saying "Java executable not found in the given directory":

This is my Object Gateway Server definition:

Hi community,

I have a service that uses EnsLib.RecordMap.Service.FTPService to capture files in an FTP directory.

Instead of uploading them all at once, I would need to do so one at a time.

I have a class that extends this class because it preprocesses, saves everything in the RecordMap class, and then processes all the records at once.

When I invoke the BP, it does so through the method set tStatus = ..SendRequest(message, 1).

I've set the SynchronousSend flag to 1, but it continues processing all the files at once.

Hi Team,

Can I please check if anyone has built a simple web interface for maintaining custom SQL lookup class.

We have a simple persistent class in HealthShare which is used for storing Pathology test codes. Test codes in this lookup class is used for message filtering and applying additional logic when processing pathology results/orders.

Database Size as CSP page

As in the previous package, all is running from a CSP page.
And it is all classic CSP written with InterSystems ObjectScript, 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

Hey Community!

We're happy to share a new video from our InterSystems Developers YouTube:

The Istio Service Mesh is commonly used to monitor communication between services in applications. The "battle-tested" sidecar mode is its most common implementation. It will add a sidecar container to each pod you have in your namespace that has Istio sidecar injection enabled.

I have a class that extends %CSP.REST which made I deployed using $system.OBJ.MakeClassDeployed. After upgrading IRIS, the web app which uses that class no longer works with an ObjectScript error.

In the past, I fixed that problem by adding a dummy new line or a comment then recompiled that class. For this deployed class, I can't add a new line and recompile the class (the code shows up as locked in Studio). Simply running $system.OBJ.compile() is not fixing the web app issue.

Is there a way to edit a deployed class then recompile it?

Hello Community,

When I compile the Sample.User class for the first time, and include an ObjectGenerator method intended to run certain logic during each compilation, it throws a <CLASS DOES NOT EXIST> error. However, recompiling the same class works as expected.

I understand this happens because the class hasn’t been fully compiled yet during the first pass. To overcome this issue, are there any specific callback methods available that can safely be used after the class is fully compiled?
