Power your IrisCluster serviceTemplate with kube-vip

If you're running IRIS in a mirrored IrisCluster for HA in Kubernetes, the question of providing a Mirror VIP (Virtual IP) becomes relevant. Virtual IP offers a way for downstream systems to interact with IRIS using one IP address. Even when a failover happens, downstream systems can reconnect to the same IP address and continue working.

The lead in above was stolen (gaffled, jacked, pilfered) from techniques shared to the community for vips across public clouds with IRIS by @Eduard Lebedyuk ...

Articles: ☁ vip-aws | vip-gcp | vip-azure

This version strives to solve the same challenges for IRIS on Kubernetes when being deployed via MAAS, on prem, and possibly yet to be realized using cloud mechanics with Manged Kubernetes Services.

Hi,

I'm using the iris for health community edition and I cannot seem to get the FHIR server configuration UI to show up. I was able to create a FHIR server programaticlly but none of the user interface features that the installation guide talks about are available. Once I was created the server I was able to see a Bulk FHIR Coordinator in the management portal, ut that's it. Are the UI features not available in the community edition or do they need to be enabled somehow?

Hi everyone,

I'm dealing with a situation where LOAD DATA operations — especially large batches with data inconsistencies — are consuming a lot of disk space. I've noticed that the same error messages are being repeatedly logged in the %SQL_Diag.Result and %SQL_Diag.Message tables, which is significantly increasing the size of the database.

One idea was to move these diagnostic tables to a separate database with a configured size limit, but before going down that path, I'd like to ask:

When I started my journey with InterSystems IRIS, especially in Interoperability, one of the initial and common questions I had was: how can I run something on an interval or schedule? In this topic, I want to share two simple classes that address this issue. I'm surprised that some similar classes are not located somewhere in EnsLib. Or maybe I didn't search well? Anyway, this topic is not meant to be complex work, just a couple of snippets for beginners.

Hello

I'm using from visual code. My routines are server-side files. If I try to search patterns in files (e.g find all routines containing the string "version=3") , the search runs but didn't find anything. If I do the same search from the management portal, it finds all routines including this pattern with a good performance.

regards Matthias

We are trying to mark a hl7 nack as "completed" to ignore an error and not generate the alert.

We can remove from adding a managed alert or add another router in

When Nack of CR of

Date of birth in PID.7 must not be empty

We tried via this but i think it's only for an actual IRIS alert errror not the HL7 error code/description

E*Date of birth in PID.7 must not be empty=C,:?CR=C,:?R=RF,:?E=S,:~=S,:?A=C,:*=S,:I?=W,:T?=C

Hi everyone, on HealthShare Unified Care Record 2024.1.0 Build, we're using the Analytics section to create a dashboard containing a time chart showing a cumulative curve of the number of documents indexed in the registry for each documentSource of each repository. We tried the following steps: we created a cube whose dimensions are the CreationDate, SourceValue, and repositoryUniqueID of the HS_Registry.Document table; in the Analytics section, we created a pivot table that lists the document creation date on each row, along with as many columns as each repository's documentSources.

Mirror Your Database Across the Galaxy with Seeding

Hello cpf fans! This distraction I used the "seed" capability in IRIS to provision an entire IrisCluster mirror, 4 maps wide with compute starting from an IRIS.DAT in a galaxy far far away. This is pretty powerful if you have had a great deal of success with a solution running on a monolithic implementation and want it to scale to the outer rim with Kubernetes and the InterSystems Kubernetes Operator. Even though my midichlorian count is admittely low, I have seen some hardcore CACHE hackers shovel around DATS, compact and shrink and update their ZROUTINES, so this same approach could also be helpful shrinking and securing your containerized workload too. If you squint and feel all living things around you, you can see a glimpse of in place (logical) mirroring in the future as a function of the operator and a migration path to a fully operational mirrored Death Star as the workload matures.

I have a quite complex FHIR Implementation Guide (IG) which is based on several other FHIR IGs. It's likely the versions of IGs conflict with each other.

From what I understand, I would need to load in all the other FHIR IG's first?

I don't actually need FHIR profiles to be in our FHIR Repository - I'm just after terminology and the examples for our test system.

Is it possible to load a FHIR IG just as data? (I think I mean here, ignore the FHIR profiles and dependencies between them)

InterSystems FAQ rubric

When exporting using the Export() method of the %Library.Global class, if the export format (fourth argument: OutputFormat) is set to 7, "Block format/Caché block format (%GOF)," mapped globals cannot be exported (only globals in the default global database of the namespace are exported). To export mapped globals in "Block format/Caché block format (%GOF)," specify the database directory to which you want to map them in the first parameter of %Library.Global.Export().

An example of execution is shown below.

Modern data architectures utilize real-time data capture, transformation, movement, and loading solutions to build data lakes, analytical warehouses, and big data repositories. It enables the analysis of data from various sources without impacting the operations that use them. To achieve this, establishing a continuous, scalable, elastic, and robust data flow is essential. The most prevalent method for that is through the CDC (Change Data Capture) technique. CDC monitors for small data set production, automatically captures this data, and delivers it to one or more recipients, including analytical data repositories. The major benefit is the elimination of the D+1 delay in analysis, as data is detected at the source as soon as it is produced, and later is replicated to the destination.

This article will demonstrate the two most common data sources for CDC scenarios, both as a source and a destination. For the data source (origin), we will explore the CDC in SQL databases and CSV files. For the data destination, we will use a columnar database (a typical high-performance analytical database scenario) and a Kafka topic (a standard approach for streaming data to the cloud and/or to multiple real-time data consumers).

Overview

This article will provide a sample for the following interoperability scenario:
