Preview releases are now available for the 2021.1 version of InterSystems IRIS, IRIS for Health and HealthShare Health Connect.

As this is a preview release, we are eager to learn from your experiences with this new release ahead of its General Availability release next month. Please share your feedback through the Developer Community so we can build a better product together.

GA releases are now available for the first version (v1.0) of InterSystems System Alerting and Monitoring (InterSystems SAM for short)

InterSystems SAM v1.0 provides a modern monitoring solution for InterSystems IRIS based products. It allows high-level views of clusters and single-node drilled down metrics-visualization together with alerts notifications. This first version provides visualization for more than one hundred InterSystems IRIS kernel metrics, and users can extend the default-supplied Grafana template to their liking.

Preview releases are now available for the 2019.3 version of InterSystems IRIS and IRIS for Health!

Container images are available via the WRC's preview download site.

The version number for these releases is 2019.3.0.302.0

Public announcements will be made shortly, with separate announcements for each product.

InterSystems IRIS Data Platform 2019.3 is a CD (continuous delivery) release of InterSystems IRIS. It has many new capabilities including:

When AMD published the x86-64 standard in 1999, little did they know they were inventing what would become the de-facto architecture for server CPUs. But the CPUs of today aren’t the same as ones produced 20 years back – as they have extensions for everything from Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) to Hardware-Assisted Virtualization (VT-d).

InterSystems would like to take better advantage of these new extensions in upcoming versions of InterSystems IRIS. While our compilers are smart enough to create optimized code for many situations, some optimizations can only be turned on by explicitly cutting off support for processors that do not have that instruction set. Additionally, we are finding it increasingly difficult to maintain older CPU models to test on.

InterSystems has made the decision to stop further development of the InterSystems Cloud Manager and label it as deprecated as of the InterSystems IRIS 2023.3 release. InterSystems will continue to support existing customers using the technology, but it is no longer recommended for new deployments.

The extended maintenance releases of InterSystems IRIS, InterSystems IRIS for Health, and HealthShare Health Connect 2023.1.1 are now available. This release provides bug fixes for the previous 2023.1.0 releases.

IAM 3.2 Release

InterSystems API Manager (IAM) version 3.2.1 is now Generally Available. In additional to bug fixes and minor improvements IAM 3.2 adds new plug-ins that might be of interest to IRIS customers.

• OAS Validation (oas-validation)
  • Validate HTTP requests and responses based on an OpenAPI 3.0 or Swagger API Specification.
• SAML (saml)
  • Provides SAML v2.0 authentication and authorization between a service provider (Kong Gateway) and an identity provider (IdP).
• XML Threat Protection (xml-threat-protection)
  • This new plugin allows you to reduce the risk of XML attacks by checking the structure of XML payloads. This validates maximum complexity (depth of the tree), maximum size of elements and attributes.
• AppDynamics (app-dynamics)
  • Integrate Kong Gateway with the AppDynamics APM Platform.
• JWE Decrypt (jwe-decrypt)
  • Allows you to decrypt an inbound token (JWE) in a request.

InterSystems is pleased to announce the 2022.3 release of InterSystems IRIS Data Platform, InterSystems IRIS for Health, HealthShare Health Connect, and InterSystems IRIS Studio are now Generally Available (GA).

InterSystems is pleased to announce the release System Alerting & Monitoring (SAM) version 1.1.

GA releases are now published for the 2020.1 version of InterSystems IRIS, IRIS for Health, and IRIS Studio!

A full set of kits and containers for these products are available from the WRC Software Distribution site, including community editions of InterSystems IRIS and IRIS for Health.

InterSystems is pleased to announce the release of Caché, Ensemble, and HealthShare Health Connect v15.03

Some highlights for Caché and Ensemble are:

InterSystems introduced this feature many years ago and a time when using Public Key Infrastructure was not yet widely used. Creating materials for use with Public Key Infrastructure is now widely available, and InterSystems is observing a decline in using the InterSystems PKI.
