There are many applications for working with HL7 V2 messages, but the tools for working with XML in IRIS Management Portal and Cache Studio are limited. While plenty of external utilities and IDEs work with XML messages and even C-CDA documents, there is a compelling case for being able to test directly against the IRIS C-CDA framework. 

Testing within the IRIS environment provides the necessary context: 

  • XML parser configuration
  • XML namespace context
  • Facility and OID setup
  • IHE header handling
  • The HS.IHE.Util, HS.Util.XSLTTransformer, and %XML.XSLT.Transformer packages
  • Leveraging th

Question Norman W. Freeman · Oct 2, 2024

If several application servers are connected using ECP, and one of them create many locks, so many that lock table became full :

Should we expect only that application server to be impacted ? (usually, when lock table is full the system became instable). Or, are other application servers going to be impacted the same way ? (because that lock table is synchronized and maintained in sync across all servers)

I have another question (which is related) : is this the same with remote databases ?
Let's say 2 application servers access the same remote database and one application server create many l

On 2024-08-29, the team released Language Server v2.6.0, which includes more improvements for code completion (aka intellisense). That means that #dim, while still useful, is hardly necessary anymore. That's a good thing in my opinion.

This post from last year (Intellisense and code completion in VS code objectscript) talked about using #dim for code completion for OREFs. #dim has always been useful for both Studio and VS Code. But last year, VS Code ObjectScript was slightly behind Studio in this area, and #dim helped bridge that gap. But now, VS Code has surpassed Studio. There is automatic

Question Scott Roth · Oct 2, 2024

I have been trying to track down an issue we are seeing in our TEST environment with Memory usage.

We have Several BP's for years now that take a HL7 message, parse it apart, and make calls to a Custom EnsLib.SQL.OutboundAdapter to have it execute Insert/Select/Update/Delete stored procedures against a MS SQL Database via JDBC connection. We are using Microsoft's JDBC 12.2 driver to do this.

What we are seeing is that IRIS.WorkQueue globals are being defined for these calls but then the IRIS.WorkQueue is not being cleaned up and taking up large amounts of Memory.

This is for IRIS For Health 2024.2.0

We are migrating away from the .NET Gateway and trying to use the python integration instead.

I followed the instructions to install IRIS

Then I installed python following the IRIS documentation indicating that python should be installed globally.

I set up the PythonRuntimeLibrary and PythonRuntimeLibraryVersion options under System->Configuration->Advanced memory settings and when I run the shell function, I get python:

Hello

I am writing a simple routing interface that picks up files from a share using File.InboundAdapter.

I am then using PassthroughService and passing it to a router.

The Router is using Ens.StreamContainer to then get the filename.  I have then used contains to pick out part of the filename.

and then pass it to another simple passthrough operation to another share.

If I do a direct link without using the router it works fine and I get no errors, once I direct the messages through the router I am getting ERROR #5005  Cannot open file, it does however write a file to the share but the file is a c

Please allow me to introduce you to a new way of interacting with IPM (InterSystems Package Manager), also known as ZPM,directly from inside Visual Studio Code.

First, install into VS Code the free InterSystems Package Manager extension, published to Marketplace by George James Software. A quick way is to use the search field in VS Code's Extensions view and look for 'ipm zpm' (without the quotes). Alternatively browse to https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=georgejames.iris-pa…

Question Mike.W · Sep 24, 2024

hi everyone,

I'm trying to make some use of AI to help with coding. To achieve this I've moved to VS Code linking to a cache instance, and installed the "Cody" extension from Sourcegraph that talks to Claude Sonnet.

In theory Cody can view, and send to the AI, the file I'm currently editing. However, it does not seem to "see" Cache server items, and only works for stuff in ordinary files that I have open. Is this an issue with "isfs" ("InterSystems File Service" that implements the "filesystem provider API" )? Is anyone else using Cody or any other AI extension successfully?

Thanks,

Mike

Question Bransen Smith · Sep 29, 2024

I need to execute code whenever a production component setting is updated, such as when a service port is changed and the `ens.config` table is updated. This code will handle tasks like logging these updates to a custom table for external reporting purposes.

How can I invoke custom code on these updates?

Ideally, I need to monitor all namespaces that are interoperability-enabled. Whenever a production component setting is changed in any namespace, I need to run the code.

We are doing healthcare interface development.

Developers have Ensemble installed locally on their laptops - code will be developed locally then deployed to integration, test/UAT and ultimately production servers in due course.

One of the other applications we are developing around happens to utilise an Iris desktop client to a remote Iris server. We want to have the application available on the developers laptops alongside the local Ensemble instance.

✅ It appears that if we install their desktop client then install our local Ensemble server, things work.

In this article, I’m excited to introduce CodeInspector, a tool designed to simplify code validation by applying custom rules tailored to your development requirements. Whether you're managing a large codebase or working in an agile environment, CodeInspector helps ensure code quality by offering flexibility and adaptability to specific project needs.

Motivation

The idea behind CodeInspector was to build a tool that is both easy to implement and adaptable to different business contexts. By allowing teams to define their own validation rules, CodeInspector empowers developers to

If you are using the client-side development paradigm (i.e. editing code in local files that get imported and compiled onto the IRIS server your `objectscript.conn` settings point to) you can now use IPM in VS Code to manage the packages in your IRIS target by launching it from the Explorer view. Just make sure the extension you are using is at least version 1.0.4, then use this button:

Managing databases and performing CRUD operations are fundamental tasks for developers building data-driven applications. While many database management systems (DBMS) exist, they can be complex and cumbersome to interact with, especially when it comes to creating databases and tables, handling constraints, and performing real-time data operations through an API.

This story has followed me for more than 20 years.

In the early days of ObjectScript, the volume of $Functions was limited.
You had to write it as part of your program.
But the functionality was often implemented. It just had no name.
To use it, you had "system" calls using $ZU() functions. See Reference

Over time most $ZU() became deprecated and replaced by "official" $Functions.
But how to find then over a thousand lines of code written over decades
by an uncounted number of programmers that were gone with the wind.
Studio was something fresh and not so performant.
So I created a Search Utility t

//s status = routine.Save()
s status = routine.SaveStream(,.refresh)

Now the routine compiles successfully and as a result it is saved on the database.
I can now use from anywhere:

and it would output the size.
