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.

There are a select few in the group that have been using Github as a Local Client push to a Repository setup in GitHub. Questions were brought up today about the security, and possible issues when it comes to data being pushed in this method.

Looking over code we have noticed that there is Histogram data within some of the class files that could be considered a security issue. Does anyone else have concerns with the Histogram data being within the class files pushed up to github?

What are best practices for JSON transformation in IRIS interoperability? This is for a non-healthcare use case, so any tools we happen to have around FHIR might not be available. The motivating use case is trimming down a verbose and needlessly complex REST API response to feed to an LLM - trying to reduce token usage and maybe get better results from less noisy data.

I am using IRIS for Windows (x86-64) 2022.1 (Build 209) Tue May 31 2022 12:27:55 EDT [Health:3.5.0]. I created Interoperability Production with a Service to read file from S3 bucket and an Operation to write files to a different S3 bucket. I specified AWS ProviderCredentialsFile.

I see "Terminating Job 7096 / 'From S3 Bucket' with Status = ERROR #5023: Remote Gateway Error: Connection cannot be established, %QuitTask=

Do I need anything like Python libraries or AWS CLI to make this work?

Recently, we implemented some Java-based services using JDBC. And some time ago, I refactored some legacy PHP programs that used "csession" for communication between systems to use PDO with ODBC.

This raised a question for me about how license management is done in this scenario.
Is a license used per pool? Or per connection? How is this management done?

I need to read first six characters from the filename we process in healthconnect, then need to insert these six characters in MSH-6 in the same HL7 message. (please note each file can have multiple HL7 messages with multiple MSH segments)

Is something can be done when first process the file, then insert first characters MSH-6?

Please advice if this is an easy fix.

There's a pattern I've encountered several times where I need to use a temp file/folder and have it cleaned up at some point later.

The natural thing to do here is to follow the patterns from "Robust Error Handling and Cleanup in ObjectScript" with a try/catch/pseudo-finally or a registered object to manage cleanup in the destructor. %Stream.File* also has a "RemoveOnClose" property that you can set - but use with care, as you could accidentally remove an important file, and this flag gets reset by calls to %Save() so you'll need to set it back to 1 after doing that.

There's one tricky case, though - suppose you need the temp file to survive in an enclosing stack level. e.g.:

Hi,

We're working on new capabilities to help you build Agents and AI applications faster with InterSystems IRIS. In order to better understand which entry points and development methodologies would help you most, we've created this brief survey: Building AI solutions with InterSystems IRIS.

Filling it in should not take much more than 5 minutes, and your feedback on this exciting topic will help us fine tune our designs and prioritize the right features.

Thanks in advance!

In this final part of our introduction to Window Functions, we will explore the remaining functions that have not been covered yet. You will also discover performance tips and a practical guide to help you decide when (and when not) to use window functions effectively.

1. Offset and Positional Value Functions

Overview

These functions reference values are calculated from other rows relative to the current row, or they are extracted from the first, last, or nth values within a window.
