A programming tool or software development tool is a computer program that software developers use to create, debug, maintain, or otherwise support other programs and applications.
IRIS offers a dedicated feature for storing and retrieving JSON documents using DocDB, without requiring a predefined schema.
Hello InterSystems Community,
I hope you're all doing well. I'm reaching out to ask if there's any way to enable a dark theme or dark mode for the HealthShare Management Portal.
I have a visual impairment (amblyopia/lazy eye) which means I'm nearly blind in one eye. Like many people with visual difficulties, I find that bright white backgrounds and interfaces cause significant eye strain and fatigue. This makes it challenging to work with the Management Portal for extended periods.
This web interface is designed to facilitate the management of Data Lookup Tables via a user-friendly web page. It is particularly useful when your lookup table values are large, dynamic, and frequently changing. By granting end-users controlled access to this web interface (read, write, and delete permissions limited to this page), they can efficiently manage lookup table data according to their needs.
I’m excited to share the project I’ve submitted to the current InterSystems .Net, Java, Python, and JavaScript Contest — it’s called FHIR Data Explorer with Hybrid Search and AI Summaries, and you can find it on the InterSystems Open Exchange and on my GitHub page.
Hi everyone! 👋
I’m excited to share the project I’ve submitted to the current InterSystems .Net, Java, Python, and JavaScript Contest — it’s called IRIStool and Data Manager, and you can find it on the InterSystems Open Exchange and on my GitHub page.
It's about an example for the External Languages Contest 2025
You get almost any information about your databases in IRIS using
the System Management Portal. After passing several levels, you often
get a wide list of items, but the interesting ones are hard to find.
These are the strategic plans of my example for the External Languages Contest 2025
We are excited to announce the general availability of JediSoft IRISsync®, our new synchronization and comparison solution built on InterSystems IRIS technology. IRISsync makes it easy to synchronize and compare IRIS instances.
IRISsync was voted runner-up in the "Most Likely to Use" category at InterSystems READY 2025 Demos and Drinks.
A huge thanks to everyone who supported us — we’re thrilled to see IRISsync resonating with the InterSystems user community!
InterSystems IRIS interoperability production development involves using or writing various types of components. They include services (which handle incoming data), processes (which deal with the data flow and logic), and operations (which manage outgoing data or requests). Messages flowing through those components constantly require being adapted to consuming applications. Therefore,Data transformations are by far the most common component in interoperability productions.
Customer support questions span structured data (orders, products 🗃️), unstructured knowledge (docs/FAQs 📚), and live systems (shipping updates 🚚). In this post we’ll ship a compact AI agent that handles all three—using:
I’m pleased to announce the release of tree-sitter-objectscript, a new open-source tree-sitter grammar that brings first-class ObjectScript support to modern editors. If you caught the preview at READY ’25, you’ll be glad to know it’s now up on Github:

Recently, I replaced my old laptop with a new one and had to migrate all my data. I was looking for a guide but couldn’t find anything that explained in detail how to migrate server connections from InterSystems Studio and Visual Studio Code from one PC to another. Simply reinstalling the tools is not enough, and migrating all the connections manually seemed like a waste of time. In the end, I managed to solve the problem, and this article explains how.
Been testing out the Production Validator toolkit, just to see what we can/not do with it. Seems really interesting and there seem to be some use cases for it that can really streamline some upgrades (or at least parts of upgrades) but I was running into so many hurdles with the documentation. I am curious if anyone else has used it.
Did you experience any issues getting it working? Any clarification that you would have liked in the documentation? any use cases that you worked through that made it particularly valuable? etc?
The hurdles I experienced included:
We are happy to present the bonuses page for the applications submitted to the InterSystems Developer Tools Contest 2025!
See the results below.
Word documents are widely used in the market. Users frequently create contracts, memos, resumes, reports, analyses, and other documents that may require data from or captured by InterSystems IRIS. However, IRIS does not have an API, SDK, library, or adapter for this. This limitation no longer exists.
Now that we have a good understanding of Python and its features, let's explore how we can leverage Python within IRIS.
Here are the technology bonuses for the InterSystems Developer Tools Contest 2025 that will give you extra points in the voting:
See the details below.
Users of the %UnitTest framework can now get test coverage information inside VS Code by combining the latest release (v2.0.0) of the InterSystems Testing Manager extension with @Timothy Leavitt's impressive Test Coverage Tool.
Above you can see the Test Coverage pane, which I have moved to the secondary sidebar on the right so it can more easily be explored in conjunction with the Test Explorer on the left.
🛠️ Managing InterSystems InterSystems API Manager (IAM = Kong Gateway) configurations in CI/CD
As part of integrating InterSystems IRIS into a secure and controlled environment, InterSystems IAM relies on Kong Gateway to manage exposed APIs.
Kong acts as a modern API Gateway, capable of handling authentication, security, traffic management, plugins, and more.

Hey everyone,
I'm diving deeper into Caché ObjectScript and would love to open a discussion around the most useful tips, tricks, and best practices you’ve learned or discovered while working with it.
Whether you're an experienced developer or just getting started, ObjectScript has its own set of quirks and powerful features—some well-documented, others hidden gems. I’m looking to compile a helpful set of ideas from the community.
Some areas I’m especially interested in:
Have you ever needed to change an IP or port before deploying an interface to production? Needed to remove items from an export? What about modifying the value(s) in a lookup table before deploying? Have you wanted to disable an interface before deploying? What about adding a comment, category, or alert setting to an interface before deploying to production?
If you’ve ever needed to make any changes to an interface or lookup table before deploying to production, then Export Editor is for you!
Hi all,
My team is exploring options for handling timezone offsets in DTL and we’re wondering if there are any built-in methods available — ideally low-code or no-code solutions. Specifically, we're looking for a way to adjust timestamps based on the date and whether Daylight Saving Time (DST) is in effect.
For example, if an HL7 message has an MSH-7 value of 20250518144529, it should be converted to 20250518144529-0500 (Central Daylight Time), but if the timestamp were 20250218144529, it should be 20250218144529-0600 (Central Standard Time).
Hi Community,
In this article, I will introduce my application iris-AgenticAI .
I was thinking about how to create a new parameter in a method, similar to Output or ByRef...
What documentation can I read to learn more about this?
I want to create a parameter customized.
