The announcement on a release of a new version of software, package, addon, system, service.
In v2026.2 (currently available as a Developer Preview), we are adding a feature that can help in a FHIR Endpoint SMART/OAuth authorization - more out-of-the-box flexibility in audience value validation.
A very important feature for HL7 FHIR has been introduced with the release of v2026.1 - the support for SMART on FHIR v2 fine-grained granular Scopes.
This enables you to be much stricter and more accurate in the access you provide to the data in your FHIR repository.
Part of this new support is to refuse requests that don't match the scopes, but an even more interesting ability is to filter the results according to the provided scopes.
Hi Community,
Take a look at these new videos in online learning, and get familiar with new features and interfaces in the latest release of InterSystems® products. All videos are also available in the Learning Services YouTube channel.
Plus, check out a video for new ObjectScript developers, and a guide for HealthShare® users upgrading their deployments.
v2026.1 was just released as GA, and one of the features I'm looking forward to using is the DTL Explainer feature.
This allows you to take a Data Transformation, and with a click of a button get a human-readable description of the transformation (which you can also use as the basis for the DTL Description).
For complex DTLs, especially ones you didn't write yourself, or you did but a long time ago, this will allow you to get a clear quick understanding of what it's doing.

The ability to resend messages easily has always been a strong feature of our Interoperability capabilities.
With v2024.3 coming out soon (available already now as Developer Preview) out already we've made this even easier!
If you want to find out what exact version your Docker image is (and since the latest image tagging scheme you cannot just rely on the image tag; and assuming you don't want to actually run it just in order to find out) you can run this docker command:

Hi Developers!
Recently we updated the design of Open Exchange and I want to describe how you can find the solutions you are interested in.
Applications Catalog
The first thing you see is the catalog of published applications, tools, and solutions.
Hi Developers!
Often when we develop some library, tool, package, whatever on InterSystems ObjectScript we have a question, how we deploy this package on the target machine?
Also, we often expect that some other libraries already installed, so our package depends on them, and often on some particular version of it.
When you code on javascript, python, etc the role of packages deployment with dependency management takes package manager.
So, I'm pleased to announce that InterSystems ObjectScript Package Manager available!

The Cogs.JsonClass library is now available in the Cogs project on GitHub.
https://github.com/SeanConnelly/Cogs
Please see the README and the /docs folder on how to use the class.
Overview
The Cogs.JsonClass class provides a one step serialisation and deserialisation to and from Caché registered and persistent classes. It is not dependent on any other code and should be compatible with older versions of Caché.
The unit tests have been included in the update, but until I release the dependent Touchstone unit test solution it won't be possible to run these tests.
It's been 6 months since InterSystems released Atelier 1.0 and we continue to roll out enhancements and new features through the beta channel (please see the Atelier Download page for details). In the meantime, we have received a lot of messages from the Developer Community with ideas for further improvements. Based on your feedback, we created a roadmap for Atelier 1.1 so you can conveniently track when specific features are going to be integrated.
Below is a list of the major improvements planned for 1.1, which we are expecting to demo at the Global Summit.

It's almost a year since I have published a series of articles explaining how to configure Cache instance as a client / resource server / authorization server. By that time, the implementation of OAuth 2.0 was still a pre-release software.
With the advent of Cache version 2017.1 a lot has changed. OAuth 2.0 implementation is fully completed and supported. Numerous new features were added (e.g. dynamic client registration) - see release notes here for full details - and configuration pages have been redesigned to a great extent as well.
InterSystems is pleased to announce the Field Test release of Caché and Ensemble 2017.2.0
The entire product team at InterSystems looks forward to hearing about your experiences with this latest version of our Data Platform products.
You can get this release from the Field Test portal
Full-Stack JavaScript development allows you to create state-of-the-art applications with Caché. With any (web) app you build nowadays, one has to make a lot of architectural decisions and you want to make the right ones. With the Node.js connector available for Caché, you can create a very powerful server side application server, allowing you to use the latest JavaScript technology and frameworks client- and server-side.
With all these new technologies, the most important is to integrate them in the most efficient way and to create a very productive development experience. This article willl get you started step-by-step with Node.js technology.
November 22, 2016 – Alert: Database Integrity on UNIX® and Linux Platforms
InterSystems has corrected a defect that may, in rare circumstances, result in database degradation on UNIX and Linux platforms.
This defect affects Caché, Ensemble, and HealthShare distributions beginning with Caché version 2012.1. It is only a possible risk on UNIX and Linux platforms that are using asynchronous I/O for database writes. The following table specifies if asynchronous I/O is always on or optional for the affected platforms and releases:

Caché process failures on RHEL V7.2
InterSystems WRC has investigated several issues of process failure that can be attributed to a recent change in Red Hat Linux.
A new feature implemented in RHEL V7.2 (systemd-219-19.el7.x86_64) can cause O.S. IPC (Inter-process communication) semaphores to be deallocated when a non-system RHEL user logs out (system users, i.e. with a UID number < 1000, are excluded)
Internally, Caché makes use of IPC semaphores to control the operation of Caché processes (for example when trying to wake-up a Caché process).
I'm pleased to see this in the documentation of the just-published 2017.1 Field Test of Ensemble:
"In certain circumstances, it is useful to create namespaces that are not enabled for Ensemble. In this release you can do this by clearing the
Question:
What version of Caché supports TLS v1.2?
Answer:
Caché 2015.2 announced support for TLS v1.1 and v1.2. In this version, the SSL/TLS configuration page provides checkboxes for TLS v1.1 and v1.2, which allows the versions to be configured individually. This allows sites to, for example, require TLS v1.2 only.
Additionally, some earlier versions of Caché provide undocumented support for TLS v1.1 and v1.2, specifically Caché 2014.1.3 and above and 2015.1, on Windows, Linux and Unix.
Here’s why: Caché uses the openssl library for SSL/TLS. TLS v1.1 and v1.
Developer Community was refreshed on May 30th with the following new features and fixes:
1. Formatting of postings in My Collaborations and My Content has been improved
2. Browse by Tag now has filtering options for New, Highest Rated and Unanswered posts
3. Full paging is back on the home page
4. Browse by Tag now includes child tags. Example - posts tagged only with "MDX", which is a child tag of "DeepSee", will appear when using Browse by Tag and viewing DeepSee content
5. Browse by Member is now available.
Steve Glassman is on vacation today so in his place I wanted to announce the availability of a new kit for the 2016.2 Field Test. The kit details are: 2016.2.0.665.0
There is a wide range of changes to the 2016.2 Field Test, 145 of them in total. You can find a complete listing here:

I am pleased to announce the field test of Caché and Ensemble 2016.3 - with many new improvements.
The product team at InterSystems looks forward to your participation in the field test and feedback over the coming months.
Some of the more signification changes in 2016.3 are new RESTful APIs for iKnow and broader APIs for programmatic control of multiple servers (enterprise manager). As always, there are a host of scalability and performance improvements, including improvements to the core database and SQL. And hundreds of smaller improvements and corrections.
Those of you who keep an eye on developments in the mainstream of IT will be aware that a major upheaval has been occurring over the last 5 or so years, in which JavaScript has exploded in popularity and importance. Largely as a result of its server-side incarnation - Node.js - it has broken free of just being the scripting language that you use in web browser, to becoming the world's most popular language and enterprise technology of choice.
As soon as I started playing about with Node.
In this release we added new functionality that marks postings with either a "new" icon or an "unread" icon depending on when you came to the site last and the age of the postings.
Here are the rules as currently implemented:
- If a user hasn't viewed content which was posted less than 2 weeks ago, then the label "new" is displayed.
- If the user hasn't viewed content which was posted more than 2 weeks ago then the label "unread" is display.
