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.
I face the challenge to have a bunch of classes on IRIS and CACHÉ in parallel
until all systems are migrated to IRIS.
Applying changes in Caché development environment and moving to IRIS is no problem
But if I have to apply a fix on IRIS there seems to be no clean way back to Caché.
Hi Developers!
As discussed in previous parts of Package Manager stories to turn your IRIS application into a deployable package you just need to introduce the module.xml file into the root folder of the repository and describe all the resources.
I’m pleased to introduce you to a new project template on Open Exchange which contains examples of how to make different types of resources of your InterSystems IRIS application a part of the ObjectScript package and so make the deployable ObjectSctipt package.
Let's see how you can describe your application resources using this template project as an example.
See the details below.
Hello InterSystems Community,
We're excited to announce that we've completed our first Open Exchange submission for InterSystems platforms.
BridgeWorks VDM is an ad hoc reporting and graphical SQL query builder application that was designed for any user who needs access to their SQL projections in InterSystems Caché, InterSystems IRIS, InterSystems IRIS for Health databases as well as access to InterSystems DeepSee and InterSystems IRIS BI Cubes with minimal SQL scripting experience.
VDM features:
Easily transform a CSV file into a personalized preview of DeepSee - InterSystems BI
AnalyzeThis can be found on InterSystems Open Exchange. Use the Download link to navigate to GitHub and begin installing the project. Follow the “Installation” section of the GitHub README.
InterSystems IRIS supports a unique data structure, called globals, for information storage. Essentially, globals are persistent arrays with multi-level indices, having several extra capabilities—transactions, quick traversal of tree structures, and a programming language known as ObjectScript.
I'd note that for the remainder of the article, or at least the code samples, we'll assume you have familiarised yourself with the basics of globals:
Hello Everyone,
I'm want to know, what is more common for your company to use, the abbreviation syntax or the complety name of commands, and why?
Ex.
S VAR=10 / D FUNC^ROUTINE F 1:1:1000
Set VAR=10 / Do Func^Routine / For 1:1:1000
set var=10 / do func^routine / for 1:1:1000
Here in my company, we are familiar with the abbreviation syntax, because to spell is more faster.
In this article, I would like to talk about the spec-first approach to REST API development.
While traditional code-first REST API development goes like this:
Spec-first follows the same steps but reverse. We start with a spec, also doubling as documentation, generate a boilerplate REST app from that and finally write some business logic.
This is advantageous because:
Let's develop our API in a spec-first approach!
Hi developers!
I just want to share with you the knowledge aka experience which could save you a few hours someday.
If you are building REST API with IRIS which contains more than 1 level of "/", e.g. '/patients/all' don't forget to add parameter 'recurse=1' into your deployment script in %Installer, otherwise all the second and higher entries won't work. And all the entries of level=1 will work.
/patients
- will work, but
/patients/all
- won't.
Here is an example of CSPApplicatoin section which fix the issue and which you may want to use in your %Installer class:
<CSPApplication Url="${CSPAPP}"
Recurse="1"
Directory="${CSPAPPDIR}"
Grant="${RESOURCE},%SQL"
AuthenticationMethods="96"
/>
First webinar on InterSystems API Management!
We are pleased to invite you to the upcoming webinar in Russian: Introduction to InterSystems API Management on November 21 at 10:00 Moscow time (GMT+3)!
As you might have heard, we recently introduced the InterSystems API Manager (IAM) - a new feature of the InterSystems IRIS Data Platform,
enabling you to monitor, control and govern traffic to and from web-based APIs within your IT infrastructure.
In this webinar I will highlight some of the many capabilities IAM allows you to leverage. InterSystems API Manager brings everything you need:
There would be a live demo.
This webinar is for System Architects, Developers and DevOps Engineers.
Time: November 21 at 10:00 Moscow time (GMT+3)!
The language of the webinar is Russian.
Why log in to view pivot tables when you can have them delivered directly to your inbox? Are you in need of automated reporting for InterSystems IRIS Business Intelligence? Pivot Subscriptions is your solution: a tool for subscribing to scheduled email reports of pivot tables inside InterSystems IRIS Business Intelligence (previously known as DeepSee).
Database systems have very specific backup requirements that in enterprise deployments require forethought and planning. For database systems, the operational goal of a backup solution is to create a copy of the data in a state that is equivalent to when application is shut down gracefully. Application consistent backups meet these requirements and Caché provides a set of APIs that facilitate the integration with external solutions to achieve this level of backup consistency.
where can I find a list of all command line utilities with a short description?
Hi, I asked last week and they gave me some little tips. But the truth is I still can't carry out this "Project".
I must perform a REST service, using Oracle 11 database. Eh tried anyway to achieve this.
The purpose is to make a REST service, using the database provided to me and use the procedure that is already created.
According to what I read, I made the connection via JDBC and I had no major problem
Hi Community,
Please join the upcoming InterSystems Israel Meetup in Herzelia which will be held on November 21st, 2019!
It will take place in the Spaces Herzliya Oxygen Ltd from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
The event will be focused on the InterSystems IRIS: it will be divided into IRIS for Healthcare and IRIS Data Platform. A joint lunch will be also included.
Please check the draft of the agenda below:
Most of us are more or less familiar with Docker. Those who use it like it for the way it lets us easily deploy almost any application, play with it, break something and then restore the application with a simple restart of the Docker container.
In this post I show strategies for backing up Caché using External Backup with examples of integrating with snapshot based solutions. The majority of solutions I see today are deployed on Linux on VMware so a lot of the post shows how solutions integrate VMware snapshot technology as examples.
Hi Developers!
Often I find questions on how to install IRIS, connect to IRIS from IDE, setup the environment, compile, debug, maintain the repository.
Here below possibly the shortest way to set up all the environment and start development with ObjectScript on InterSystems IRIS.
Prerequisites
Make sure you have Git, Docker, and VSCode installed
Install Docker and ObjectScript extensions into VSCode

I'm looking for some existing solutions to compare 2 global structures.
- by subscripts
- if subscripts match then by content.
I'm looking for an efficient way to use in Studio "Search in Files"

Hello everyone,
It is my first post in the community. Very recently I started working using IRIS, creating services with Cache.
Today they gave me a new task and I'm really lost.
How can I use an oracle database to create services using iris?
Throughout the day I was looking for a guide to use a remote Oracle database. but unfortunately I only managed the connection in SQL Gateway
Loading your IRIS Data to your Google Cloud Big Query Data Warehouse and keeping it current can be a hassle with bulky Commercial Third Party Off The Shelf ETL platforms, but made dead simple using the iris2bq utility.
Let's say IRIS is contributing to workload for a Hospital system, routing DICOM images, ingesting HL7 messages, posting FHIR resources, or pushing CCDA's to next provider in a transition of care. Natively, IRIS persists these objects in various stages of the pipeline via the nature of the business processes and anything you included along the way. Lets send that up to Google Big Query to augment and compliment the rest of our Data Warehouse data and ETL (Extract Transform Load) or ELT (Extract Load Transform) to our hearts desire.
A reference architecture diagram may be worth a thousand words, but 3 bullet points may work out a little bit better:
.avro to keep the schema along the data: this will avoid to specify/create the BigQuery table schema beforehands..avro into the respective BigQuery tables you specify.
Released with no formal announcement in IRIS preview release 2019.4 is the /api/monitor service exposing IRIS metrics in Prometheus format. Big news for anyone wanting to use IRIS metrics as part of their monitoring and alerting solution. The API is a component of the new IRIS System Alerting and Monitoring (SAM) solution that will be released in an upcoming version of IRIS.
Hi Community,

does Health Connect have an out of box setting to send some type of "Keep Alive" packet? This is for a TCP connection. I have a vendor that will disconnect from the engine if there is a 2 hour idle time. would like to send something across every hour (if its idle) to prevent the disconnection. I'm assuming this may be something custom that needs to be created, but thought I asked the community first.
There's an easy new way to add certificate authority (CA) certificates to your SSL/TLS configurations on InterSystems IRIS 2019.1 (and 2018.1.2) on Windows and Mac. You can ask IRIS to use the operating system's certificate store by entering:
%OSCertificateStore
in the field for "File containing Trusted Certificate Authority X.509 certificate(s)". Here's an image of how to do this in the portal:
Pretty straight forward.
I'm tempted to hard-code ISO-8859-1 inside my VSCode extension when working with CSP because this seems to be the encoding used by default, but I need to know if there's any other possible configuration. So can you share your experience when working with CSPs? Like issues with encoding, discoveries regarding it, workarounds etc.
Also, can someone tell me if it's possible to work with UTF-8 encoded CSP files using Atelier without breaking the encoding of the output file?
Hi Developers!
Suppose you want to create your ObjectScript library to be distributed via ObjectScript Package Manager. And there is an obvious question: what is the naming convention on the packages and class names?
Naming packages and classnames
During migration from Caché to IRIS I can preview a situation where some instance
have migrated to IRIS while others are still on Caché.
For various reasons this may be in place for some weeks or even months as the big bang isn't feasable.
So far I found a lot of statements related to mixed endinans,
but nothing related to cross operation beween IRIS and Caché.
?? any hints ??
?? any experience ??
