SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you prevent hallucinated or incorrect ObjectScript method signatures by fetching the authoritative InterSystems IRIS class documentation for the exact class and IRIS version you target.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • IRIS class reference lookup: Retrieve static and instance method signatures, parameters, and return types for a specified IRIS library and class.
  • SQL and docbook assistance: Use the same documentation source to discover SQL-exposed tables/views when available and to navigate IRIS docbook entries for broader technical topics.
  • Version-aware accuracy: Check which APIs exist for a given IRIS release (or the latest stable) to reduce “method does not exist” runtime errors.

Quick Start

Use iris-docs to look up the correct methods for SYS.Database in IRIS 2025.1 and confirm the exact signature you should call to list databases.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify InterSystems IRIS class reference documentation before writing ObjectScript?

You can verify InterSystems IRIS class reference documentation by fetching authoritative docs from docs.intersystems.com, constructing the correct URL with your target version code and library/class identifiers to retrieve exact method signatures, parameters, and return types.

Why does my ObjectScript method call fail with a method does not exist error in IRIS?

A method does not exist error in IRIS usually means you are calling an API unavailable in your target version. Fetching version-aware class reference documentation helps confirm exact method signatures and validate API availability for your specific IRIS release.

How do I check SQL availability for InterSystems IRIS constructs and classes?

To check SQL availability for InterSystems IRIS constructs, use the class reference documentation source to discover SQL-exposed tables and views. This ensures you validate whether a specific IRIS class exposes SQL constructs before implementation.

Can I look up docbook topics across different InterSystems IRIS versions?

Yes, you can navigate IRIS docbook entries across different InterSystems IRIS versions by constructing the correct docs.intersystems.com URL with the appropriate target version code and library identifiers to retrieve version-specific technical documentation.

What is the best way to find correct ObjectScript method signatures for an InterSystems IRIS class?

The best way to find correct ObjectScript method signatures is to fetch the authoritative InterSystems IRIS class documentation for your exact class and IRIS version, which returns verified static and instance method signatures, parameters, and return types to prevent hallucinated APIs.

Do I need to specify an IRIS version code to retrieve accurate class reference documentation?

Yes, specifying an IRIS version code is required to construct the correct docs.intersystems.com URL. Version-aware accuracy ensures you retrieve the correct method signatures and reduce runtime errors caused by calling APIs that do not exist in your target release.
