Question Dmitrii Baranov · Dec 21, 2025

I have a business service that actively reads data from a remote Postgres database. OnProcessInput opens a XDBC (actually JDBC) connection, executes an SQL query, fetches several thousand rows, iterates the resultset, and closes the connection. On each iteration I also need to update each source row in the remote database using PreparedStatement.

In other words, in every OnProcessInput call I have a long running SELECT statement and several thousands small UPDATE statements.

Hello,

We are accessing an InterSystems Cacha database from Microsoft SQL Server using a linked server over ODBC (ODBC35). Queries are executed using OPENQUERY.

On the SQL Server side, there is a linked server property called Query Timeout. By default it is set to 0 (no timeout). We are considering setting it to 15 seconds and would like to understand how Cache behaves in this scenario.

Hi experts

I'm trying to configure an IRIS ODBC connection with "Windows NT authentication using the network login ID". I have created the System DSN as below:

and user (PROD\test) in the SQL Gateway connection 

However, as the error message suggests, IRIS is trying to connect with PROD\svc_mist, rather than PROD\test configured above. 

Is there anyway to configure the ODBC connection with specified account with Windows Auth method?

Question Tom Philippi · Jan 17, 2018

We are trying to make an ODBC connection via our intersystems ensemble (2016.2 running on ubuntu). However, when I am testing the connection I receive a pop-up that: "Http object response incomplete or invalid.0,#R". Note that the iodbctrace.log remains empty (and it is working because on the first try it registered a 459 error that I should activate kerberos, which I did). Any advise where I should look?
I have taken the following actions:

1. Expand the cacheodbc.

I have set up an ODBC driver for InterSystems and would like to set up a linked server. This all works except I cannot see the columns  details. If I access the database from excel I can get the columns and types of the various tables

Any help or instructions would be appreciated

Hello community members!
I am trying to connect to Caché database from Azure data factory using ODBC connection. The aim is to read data from Caché and write it in Azure blob storage using copy activity. The ODBC connection is successful and i can see the Caché  tables, but i'm facing an error while reading the table contents.
I'm getting the below error :

ERROR [HY000] [Cache ODBC][State : S1000][Native Code 400]

Question Eduard Lebedyuk · May 18, 2016

In MySQL I have the following table:

CREATE TABLE `info` (
   `created` int(11)
);

And it is linked (via JDBC SQL Gateway) to Cache table mysql.info.  `created` field stores unix timestamp. So when I execute  this SQL in SMP:

SELECT created FROM mysql.info

I receive the following output (which is expected):





created
1435863691
1436300964

But I want to to display `created` field converted to ODBC timestamp format. To do that I call this SQL procedure

Class mysql.

Question Scott Roth · Jan 22, 2025

I am currently experiencing frustration with trying to Authenticate an Active Directory account through JDBC as the Hospital System moves from OnPrem SQL Server to using Azure SQL Server with Microsoft Entra Authentication.

Microsoft cannot give me a straight answer of what is required from a JDBC standpoint to authenticate from a Linux environment.

I am working with WRC, but we are both struggling to find the specific answer for JDBC. If I use my local desktop and JDBC to connect through DBeaver I don't have an issue.

I’m trying to connect to an InterSystems Caché database from my local development environment using an IPv4 address. Most examples I’ve found show how to connect using the ODBC driver with the localhost or the default IP address (127.0.0.1). However, I want to know how to connect using my local IPv4 address.

Here’s what I need help with:

Hello, I need to use IRIS to connect to an MSSQL base.
It has to be done via ODBC, I can't use JDBC at this time by client option.

I am trying to use Microsoft Driver
libmsodbcsql-13.1.so.9.2

But I can't, my attempts result in:
Connection failed.
SQLState: () NativeError: [11001] Message:

I have done all DSN configuration, and my configuration is listed in SQL Gateway Connections. I know it's working, because when I run a test with isql I have the information that connects to the bank.

This is my IRIS and Server configuration:

Hi

I get the following error when I am trying to create a linked server connection via MS OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers in MS SQL Server Management Studio. The message I get is:

The OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "IRIS" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.

Question Stephen Bolt · Apr 22, 2022

Hi,

I'm very new to InterSystems  Health Connect so may be doing something silly...

I'm trying to link to an Oracle DB view using the Link Table Wizard in the Management Portal. The wizard finds the view, but when I select it and click the 'next' button I get an error on the 'Select Columns' screen: 'ERROR #5534: Columns error' (and no columns show in the wizard). I've tried on several views and tables in the same DB but keep hitting the same error.

I have previously successfully mapped a view and table from the same DB and am not sure what I am doing differently. Any suggestions appreciated!

I've created a succesfull connection to Caché from SQL Server.

But when I run a SELECT on a table it gives an error on for example PrijsAkCatV.

Probably a datatype-error.

Does someone has a solution for this problem ?

From time to time we develop an Ensemble Production with simple SQL Inbound data from external databases, we need to develop a few new classes. There are at least:

  • 1 Ens.Request class with the fields captured from the SQL ResultSet
  • 1 Business Service class using SQL Inbound Adaptor, and in the OnProcessInput(), copy the relevant field data from ResultSet to the new Ens.Request, and call either ..SendRequestSync() or ..SendRequestAsync().

Let's say, if these codes can be generated automatically in order to make the entire development more "low

Question Andreas Schneider · Jun 1, 2024

Hi all! 

How can I get the ODBC drivers for IRIS 2024.1 if I am only using IRIS 2024.1 Community Edition? 
This page gives you the information: "The official location for customers to download the latest released and fully supported InterSystems IRIS driver packages is the WRC download site." My first thought on this is: Why does Intersystems make it so difficult for users to use their database? Why is the ‘official’ driver package hidden behind a login wall? Shouldn't Intersystems be happy if someone wants to work with their database, wants to connect?

Question Robert Steed · May 21, 2024

I created %ZSTART, having just learned about it. I included some minimal code to test it, as follows:
%ZSTART
SYSTEM
         WRITE "SYSTEM.",!
         QUIT
JOB
         WRITE "JOB.",!
         QUIT
LOGIN
         WRITE "LOGIN.",!
         QUIT
CALLIN
         WRITE "CALLIN.",!
         QUIT

Now Terminal still works as normal, and sure enough I get "LOGIN" displayed, but when I start Studio I get an error message such as the following. I wonder what Caché ODBC has to do with it.

Question Jordan Everett · Apr 15, 2024

Hey everyone,

I'm currently running into a very weird issue to where I am trying to connect with a 64 bit version of SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) to a HealthShare instance. I have created a System DSN using the Drivers (image below) that were downloaded with the Client version of the install and I'm able to successfully connect using my credentials.

After I have my System DSN (image below) configured, I go into SSMS and add a Linked Server that is referencing the System DSN that was created. Also, I change the provider to be Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers.

Question Tani Frankel · Feb 1, 2024

Is it possible to authenticate an xDBC (ODBC/JDBC) connection to InterSystems IRIS via (a 3rd party) OAuth server?

For REST APIs this is possible, but could this be achieved with OAuth? 

Out-of-the-box the ODBC/JDBC Drivers don't seem to have this option, but maybe some custom code could enable this? perhaps via Delegated Authentication and some OAuth classes customization, or some other way?

Has anyone done this already and can share how it was implemented, or someone with some guideline suggestions?
