InterSystems Management Portal is a web application that lets you perform system administration and management tasks for the InterSystems Data Platform.
InterSystems continues to push AI capabilities forward natively in IRIS — vector search, MCP support, and Agentic AI capabilities. That roadmap is important, and there is no intention of stepping back from it.
But the AI landscape is also evolving in a way that makes ecosystem integration increasingly essential. Tools like Dify — an open-source, production-grade LLM orchestration platform — have become a serious part of enterprise AI stacks.
In the previous article, we examined how we can use the %CSP.Request and %CSP.Response classes to test a REST API without having the API fully set up and accessible across a network with an authentication mechanism. In this article, we will build on that foundation to perform some simple unit testing of one of our REST API methods.
The unit testing framework requires a couple of setup steps before we can use it. First, we have to ensure that the unit testing portion of the management portal is enabled so we can review the results of our tests.
