Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

IRIS

✓ from iris import IRIS

✗ from intersystems_irispython import IRIS

IRISConnection

✓ from iris import IRISConnection

createConnection

✓ from irisnative import createConnection

Connect to IRIS using environment variables for credentials.

import os from intersystems_irispython import IRIS # Connect using environment variables conn = IRIS.connection( hostname=os.environ.get('IRIS_HOSTNAME', 'localhost'), port=int(os.environ.get('IRIS_PORT', 1972)), namespace=os.environ.get('IRIS_NAMESPACE', 'USER'), username=os.environ.get('IRIS_USERNAME', '_SYSTEM'), password=os.environ.get('IRIS_PASSWORD', '') ) print('Connected:', conn.is_connected()) conn.close()

Debug

Known issues

breakingIn v5.x, the `IRIS.connection()` method replaced the old `iris.create_connection()` pattern from v4.x. Existing code using `create_connection` will break.

fix

Replace `iris.create_connection(...)` with `IRIS.connection(...)`.

affects: >=5.0.0

gotchaThe class name `IRIS` is all uppercase. A common mistake is to use `Iris` or `iris` (lowercase) which will raise AttributeError.

fix

Use `from intersystems_irispython import IRIS` (exact casing).

affects: all

gotchaDefault port is 1972 (Superserver), not 51773 or 9091. Using wrong port leads to connection timeout.

fix

Ensure port number matches IRIS Superserver port (default 1972).

affects: all
