I may have mentioned this before: I believe the Visual Traces, these sequence diagrams with full content of each step, are a fantastic feature of the IRIS Data platform! Detailed information about how the API works internally, as a visual trace, can be very useful for projects on the IRIS platform. Of course, this applies when we are not developing a high-load solution, in which case we simply don't have time for saving/reading messages. For all other cases, welcome to this tutorial!

Hello, how are you?
Using Healthshare for Interoperability, we often see a wide variety of encoding issues. Some happen when transforming XML to HL7. Some happen the other ay around transforming HL7 to XML.
Is there a valid way to understand which encoding needs to be used?
I ask, because we use SOAP or REST or TCP HL7 services.
And we deliver messages with TCP HL7, SOAP, HTTP Operations.
And we often face this issue where special characters like ñ or á, are not encoded correctly.
Thanks for your replies.

Hi Community,
We’re excited to invite you to take part in shaping the next generation of ObjectScript development tools. We’re working on an AI-powered ObjectScript coding assistant designed specifically for IRIS developers. Not a generic AI adapted for ObjectScript, but a solution built from the ground up to understand ObjectScript idioms, IRIS APIs, interoperability productions, and real-world developer workflows.
To make sure we build something truly useful, we need your input.

CCR now includes an AI-powered 'CCR Assistant', available to beta testers. The CCR Assistant helps you quickly get answers about common CCR workflows, terminology, or best practices. Every response includes references to relevant ICC Training courses, making it easy to dive deeper into any topic. As a future improvement, the links will point directly to the specific page of the ICC Training PDF that was used to generate the response.
To access the assistant, hit the blue "Open CCR Assistant" icon in the bottom right of the CCR application.
We’re excited to announce the first mini hackathon“Building AI Agents with InterSystems”, taking place on a pre-conference day as part of InterSystems READY 2026.
In this hands-on challenge, participants will design and build AI agents using upcoming InterSystems capabilities, exploring how intelligent automation, orchestration, and reasoning can be applied to practical use cases.
📅 Event date: 27 April 2026
📍 Location: Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, National Harbor, Maryland

Anyone else is passing through this issue?
Since last week when I create a new class definition, It is created without the full name into the signature class and I have to put it by myself.
I thougth that should be any configuration about the language patterns, but I didn`t found it..png)
Thank you all
Over the last year, the CCR development team has prioritized changes to the CCR application to better expose and encourage best practices for using CCR. This article will highlight some of the areas that we've focused on:
In each of these areas, we have increased the visibility of potential CCR usage issues and given users tools to proactively address them.
Hello everyone,
InterSystems Certification is still looking for InterSystems EHR (TrakCare/Intellicare) integration specialists to help us beta test our new InterSystems EHR Integration Specialist Certification exam. This is a great way to earn the certification for free! The deadline to participate in the beta test has been extended to April 30th.
Please note, there are eligibility requirements for this exam. For details, please see the original announcement. Please contact certification@intersystems.com with any questions.
Thank you!
The Ask DC AI assistant is appreciated. But how do I delete the chat history?

Hi everyone, I want to tell you a little about LangGraph, a tool that I'm studying and developing.
Basically traditional AI applications often face challenges when dealing with complex workflows and dynamic states. LangGraph offers a robust solution, enabling the creation of stateful agents that can manage complex conversations, make context-based decisions, and execute sophisticated workflows.
Hi everyone.
I'm going to give you a quick tip on how to implement an AI agent to search the Intersystems documentation integrated into Teams.
Yes, I know the documentation page has its own AI search engine and it's quite effective, but this way we'd have faster access, especially if Teams is your company's corporate tool.
You can also create another AI agent to search articles published in the developer community (which also has its own integrated AI search engine).

Hi,
I'd like to report a really strange behavior of the Intersystems Lite Terminal after executing a simple ObjectScript instruction.
From the Intersystems Lite terminal, execute the following instructions:
- Set uniqueId = "12345678_1"
- Set uniqueId = $p(uniqueId,"_",1)_"_"_($p(uniqueId,"_",*)+1)
After executing the second instruction, the terminal closes without any error.
As a developer who uses Cache as DB for a couple of projects, I'm using REST API's every time, knowing how to consume a resource from REST API, in my opinion, it's crucial to know how to consume external REST Api's using %Net.HttpRequest because it enables integration with modern web applications and services, and it's a crucial skill for a backend developer who loves and uses Cache as a DB.
What and who is %Net.

CCR users can now take advantage of an enhanced syntax for substituting pre-defined tokens with live URL links within phase-related text fields. In addition to the existing <env> token which automatically updates to reflect the Environment of the relevant CCR Record, CCR now introduces three new keywords: <smp> , <smpPrefix> , and <homepage>.
The new <smp> token automatically replaces itself with the URL of the Management Portal's homepage for the System associated with the CCR Record in the Environment that most recently received changes to the Record.
TLS, the successor to SSL, stands for Transport Layer Security and provides security (i.e. encryption and authentication) over a TCP/IP connection. If you have ever noticed the "s" on "https" URLs, you have recognized an HTTP connection "secured" by SSL/TLS. In the past, only login/authorization pages on the web would use TLS, but in today's hostile internet environment, best practice indicates that we should secure all connections with TLS.
So, why would you implement TLS for HL7 connections?
Starting out with ObjectScript, it is really exciting, but it can also feel a little unusual if you're used to other languages. Many beginners trip over the same hurdles, so here are a few "gotchas" you'll want to watch out for. (Also few friendly tips to avoid them)
NAMING THINGS RANDOMLY
We have all been guilty of naming something Test1 or MyClass just to move on quickly. But once your project grows, these names become a nightmare.
➡ Pick clear, consistent names from the start. Think of it as leaving breadcrumbs for your future self and your teammates.
