Hi everyone,

I was wondering if it is possible to use the InterSystems Server VSCode Extension to work in client side mode but importing locally the content of a project without having to choose the files manually.

It would be awesome to have all project-related assets synchronized in one go. Relying on InterSystems Projects (.prj files) would be convenient for several reasons:

  1. Projects bundle different file types (CLS, MAC, INT, CSP). Importing the project as a whole is much more efficient than picking individual files piece by piece.

When using VS code with multiple workspaces it requests "The extension 'InterSystems ObjectScript' wants to sign in using InterSystems Server Credentials. 

Other than having multiple workspaces per environemnt (which never really works for me in principle as i end up code comparing in one manner or another) is there a way to only have intersystems log in to VS code whenever you open an actual workspace itself i.e. click on dev not on loading vscode. 

This would also get around errors of "unauthenticated access rejected by" errors as VS code tries to log in without the password first.

Hello everybody, 

I would like to export project contents using Visual Studio Code, as well as I do with InterSystems Studio.

However, while attempting the export through the InterSystems extension I get the following error:

- There are no folders in the current workspace that code can be exported to.

These are the step to reproduce my error:

  1. Create and save a new VSCode workspace
  2. Open a local directory 
  3. Go to the InterSystems extension
  4. Open "Projects" panel and right-click on the project you want to export
  5. Click on "Export Project Contents"

Anyone can help me solving this issue?

We are a group of interface analysts in a healthcare setting, running IRIS for Health 2024, having upgraded over time from an old ENSEMBLE environment.  We have been working on a wish list of development goals, but are having trouble finding the correct, best practice method/path for getting to what we envision.

Current state:  We run IRIS for Health on a Redhat 8 virtual machine.  We run Interoperability productions (IE.cls) out of 6 namespaces.  We have a dev/test box and a production box.

Question Matthias Thon · Nov 18, 2025

Hello 

I'm using from visual code. My routines are server-side files. If I try to search patterns in files (e.g find all routines containing the string "version=3") , the search runs but didn't find anything. If I do the same search from the management portal, it finds all routines including this pattern with a good performance.

regards Matthias

Hi,

so we introduced GIT in our workflow and we exported all files with $SYSTEM.OBJ.ExportUDL

Everything fine so far. But for some reason the export adds an extra line for classes (Routines are OK as far as I can see):

On Serverside it isn't there

The Problem is now that when we checkout a branch and a class changed we automatically compile it from the repository to a namespace that is made for the developer. E.g. DEV_001, DEV_002 and so on.

Question Stephane Devin · Jul 29, 2025

Hi, 
I have a code that copy a method to another class for analysis purpose.

I also want this method to appear first in the source code to easily use it in VSCode with the classmethod debug button and not search it in the numerous method of the modified class.
Is there a way to do such a thing?
I tried the placeAfter keyword but I can't find a way to make it really work as I want. Is their other ways to control the order of methods?

Hello my friends,

I have a problem with logi report, 

in my store procedure,  I create code like this?

$ListToString(%DLIST(DISTINCT (ARCIM_Desc)),'<br/>') as "ARCIM_Desc", -> this is the problem

$ListToString(%DLIST(DISTINCT (MRDIA_ICDCode_DR)),'<br/>') as "MRDIA_ICDCode_DR", -> it's works fine

as you see there's a <br/> in the display of the report

I have no idea about this, maybe someone can help me fix this problem ?

Question Ricardo Alves dos Santos · May 29, 2025

Hello everyone,

I’m using VS Code with the InterSystems ObjectScript extension and I want to keep my local folder (client-side) as the “source of truth” while still using the built-in Server Source Control features (diff, stage, commit, etc.) against my IRIS/Ensemble instance.

So far:

  • I have a local Git repository with my .cls and .mac files.
  • I’ve configured "objectscript.serverSourceControl.respectEditableStatus": true and "objectscript.serverSourceControl.disableOtherActionTriggers": false in my .vscode/settings.json.

Question Colin Brough · Apr 30, 2025

We have classes in a Production environment that are causing us some issues - example attached.

When we export them from the production environment the XML contains a snippet like the following:

<UDLText name="T">
<Content><![CDATA[
//Property any As list Of %XML.String(XMLNAME = "any", XMLPROJECTION = "ANY") [ SqlFieldName = _any ];

]]></Content>
</UDLText>

When imported and compiled into an Ensemble instance this class works as expected.

When viewed/edited in a development environment we run into issues - the presentation is similar with both Studio and VS Code.
