First of all, what is data anonymization?

According to Wikipedia:

Data anonymization is a type of information sanitization whose intent is privacy protection. It is the process of removing personally identifiable information from data sets, so that the people whom the data describe remain anonymous.

In other words, the data anonymization is a process that retains the data but keeps the source anonymous. Depending on the adopted anonymization technique the data is redacted, masked or substituted.

And that is the purpose of iris-Disguise, to provide a set of anonymization tools.

Hi Team,

How to extract/export the event logs quicker from Ens_Util.Log (intersystems log) using query itself.

(Similar to OUTFILE in sql)

Is anyone like me, and felt really jealous that they didn't have enough points to acquire the IRIS-based Raspberry Pi system when it was offered? Do you have a spare Raspberry Pi 4 handy? If so, I'll walk you through setting up Docker and IRIS on your Raspberry Pi so you can have the smallest IRIS computer in town!

Things you'll need:

Raspberry Pi 4 (at least 4G RAM, but I have several with 8G so that's what I used.

I had an interesting scenario come up, as when we moved from eGate to Ensemble and we will be moving to IRIS here in the near future I was taught to create Business Processes for writing to and extracting data from outside MS SQL Databases.

That works ok for simple messages but I have a case where I have a rather large MFN message coming in from a vendor. The normal Business Process of reading in the HL7, and parsing the message into Stored Procedure structure calls has worked in the past with smaller messaging like ADT, etc.

Hi Community,

There are two records of the same patient coming from the same source and when they are merged from the source they are not updating Health Information Exchange. I have blurred crucial information and the records are not falling off the worklist items after a merge from the source system.

The two records from the same source are in the middle section and the right section.

Purpose

Here is another quick note before we move on to GPT-4 assisted automation journey. Below are some "little" helps ChatGPT had already been offering,  here and there, during daily works. 

And what could be the perceived gaps, risks and traps to LLMs assisted automation, if you happen to explore this path too. I'd also love to hear anyone's use cases and experiences on this front too. 

Lookup tables

One of the simplest tasks could be Lookup tables.

Hi Community,

Some of you would like to share an event (online or offline) with others on our Community and here is a how-to on how to actually create an Event to invite your fellow members.

The main challenge when creating an event is to fill in all the necessary pieces of information in the right places. So let's look at what needs to be done.

Hi,

Does anyone have experience with connecting to IRIS with OLEDB through an OLEDB-ODBC bridge? In this case the client can only speak OLEDB at this moment.

Hi folks!

Playing with InterSystems FHIR server. 

You can easily install it in IRIS for Health using FHIR template:

zpm "install fhir-server"

NB! For now the IPM command mentioned above works for a namespace called FHIRSERVER only.

I have a FHIR server in a local docker container with endpoint:

localhost:52773/fhir/r4

WIN SQL is the normal editor used by most of the users .But we can't download large amount of data using winsql . So I have written a tutorial how to connect with a new Java based editor called Squirrel SQL which can easily download or export data in excel or any other formats. Also I included a Java JCBC connection program to connect with the IRIS database especially a mirroring/failover server.

Hi Guys,

I've a task that runs every 10 mins executing the below code, but the issue is that it slowing the system down affecting other processes, so is there a way to maybe spread the execution of this so it doesn't slow down the system? I've tried spreading these fucntion in two different tasks but doesn't seem to change much.

Method OnTask() As %Status
{  
J ##class(MSDS.Common.ConditionMonitoring).GetKitList("20779")
J ##class(MSDS.Common.ConditionMonitoring).GetKitList("21822")
J ##class(MSDS.Common.ConditionMonitoring).GetKitList("21147")
J ##class(MSDS.Common.ConditionMonitoring).

 Hi Community:

We've just posted session titles to our Global Summit website -- there are 65, and more are being planned. 

I've been working on Global Summit now for seven years, and I think this year's lineup is the best yet -- mostly because we asked users like you for topic suggestions.

I'm cutting and pasting from my master list 

1.    Adaptive Analytics in Action: Two Customer Use Cases
2.    Application of Design Thinking
3.    Artificial Intelligence Healthcare Solutions: Time to Take Action
4.    Best Practices for InterSystems IRIS System Performance in the Cloud
5.

In the documentation  Data Types | Caché SQL Reference | Caché & Ensemble 2018.1.4 – 2018.1.8 (intersystems.com)

it says that "by default, Caché establishes a system-wide ODBC VARCHAR maximum length of 4096; this ODBC maximum length is configurable"

Per instructions, I went to SMP -> System -> Configuration -> General SQL Settings, where most of the fields from  $SYSTEM.SQL.CurrentSettings()

appear. That one does not.

How does one change it, and can it be increased?

Thanks!

Hi,

we get HL7 MDM messages with embedded PDF documents that are Base64 encoded. When the embedded PDF document exceeds the size of 3.6 MB the following error occurs:

FEHLER <Ens>ErrBPTerminated: BP Main HL7 MDM # wird wegen folgenden Fehlers beendet: FEHLER #5002: Caché-Fehler: <MAXSTRING>zgetAtFromArray+46^EnsLib.HL7.Segment.1
> FEHLER #5002: Caché-Fehler: <MAXSTRING>zgetAtFromArray+46^EnsLib.HL7.Segment.1

In other posts I read that you can avoid these errors, if you use the data type %VarString instead of normal %String.

Hello,

I have a question regarding the Intersystems Caché Database and its jdbc driver. I need to set the connection timeout for the database, but I couldn't find any documentation stating that the jdbc driver for Caché supports setting the connection timeout. However, I noticed that the jdbc driver for the Intersystems Iris Database appears to support this feature.

My question is, can I use the Iris jdbc driver to set the connection timeout for the Caché Database?

The jdbc driver I use: cache-jdbc-2.0.0.jar

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,
Kalle

Named parameters can be achieved with SQLAlchemy :  

from sqlalchemy import create_engine, text,types,engine

_engine = create_engine('iris+emb:///')

with _engine.connect() as conn:
    rs = conn.execute(text("select :some_private_name"), {"some_private_name": 1})
    print(rs.all())

or with native api

from sqlalchemy import create_engine, text,types,engine

# set URL for SQLAlchemy
url = engine.url.URL.create('iris', username='SuperUser', password='SYS', host='localhost', port=33782, database='FHIRSERVER')

_engine = create_engine(url)

with _engine.connect() as conn:
    rs = conn.execute(text("select :some_private_name"), {"some_private_name": 1})
    print(rs.all())

I am trying to pinpoint and troubleshoot an issue we have been seeing lately. We have several SQL Outbound Adapter Operations that are seeing issues trying to connect to our MS SQL Servers using the JDBC Gateway for calling insert, select, update, and stored procedure calls.

ERROR <Ens>ErrFailureTimeout: FailureTimeout of 20 seconds exceeded in osuwmc.Visit.

InterSystems FAQ rubric

You can programmatically retrieve routine dates and sizes using the RoutineList query of the %Library.Routine (or just %Routine) class.

The RoutineList query has an argument, and the routine name to be searched can be specified by prefix match or middle match. (For wildcards, specify * or ?)

In the example below, *.MAC is specified as an argument.

SET tStatement =  ##class(%SQL.Statement).%New()
 DO tStatement.%PrepareClassQuery("%Routine" , "RoutineList") 
 SET rs = tStatement.%Execute("*.MAC",,0) 
 DO rs.

Hi,

I know little about SOAP security and am trying to apply a WS-Policy to a simple HL7 web service, but when I do I get object script errors.

The most latest one being:

ObjectScript error: &lt;UNDEFINED&gt;zValidateTransport+4^%SOAP.Security.Policy.1 *%request

The web service, shown below, simply extends UHSx.Common.Services.Twinkle.SOAP, and works perfectly well using basic HTTPS over SSL/TLS:
Class UHSx.Common.Services.Twinkle.SOAP Extends UHSx.Common.Services.HL7.SOAP
{Parameter LOCATION = "https://ryr-hc-test.sussex.nhs.

We are migrating to new servers, and I need to copy the information from Business Partner's over to the new server. Is this information in a Global or SQL table somewhere that I can export and import into the new IRIS environment?

Thanks

Scott

Hi, could someone tell me please how can I "unlock" a .cls file which author is Intersystems? I want to make some modifications and add some trace messages there. The file resides in the HS.FHIRServer namespace and it looks like read-only

Fun or No Fun - how serious is it?

Large language models are stirring up some phenomena in recent months. So inevitably I was playing ChatGPT too over last weekend, to probe whether it would be a complimentary to some BERT based "traditional" AI chatbots I was knocking up, or rather would it simply sweep them away. 
A thought comes to mind while playing. By going slightly theoretical or philosophical, eventually interoperability standards such as HL7 and FHIR etc are kind of "languages", right? HL7 has its own grammar, rules, vocabulary and even dialects - every system speaks its own tone.

Hi Developers,

See how the Production Extension framework (PEX) allows you to build custom interoperability components in .NET or Java without first learning ObjectScript.

With PEX, you can code in a familiar language and take advantage of established code libraries to add components to a production.

⏯ What is PEX

Hello, I want to show a fellow DC member how to convert JSON file into HL7 message. I personally do not work with HL7. I set up a production with EnsLib.File.PassthroughService. It passes Ens.StreamContainer to BPL process. I call a DTL to transform StreamContainer to HL7 message. I run into an error:

ERROR <Ens>ErrBPTerminated: Terminating BP JSON2HL7 # due to error: ERROR #5035: General exception Name 'Parsing error' Code '3' Data ''
> ERROR #5035: General exception Name 'Parsing error' Code '3' Data ''

The code is in this GitHub repo:

IRIS configurations and user accounts contain various data elements that need to be tracked, and many people struggle to copy or sync those system configurations and user accounts between IRIS instances. So how can this process be simplified?

In software engineering, CI/CD or CICD is the set of combined practices of continuous integration (CI) and (more often) continuous delivery or (less often) continuous deployment (CD). Can CI/CD eliminate all our struggles?

I work in a team which develops and deploys IRIS clusters. We run IRIS in containers on Red Hat OpenShift container platform.

Introduction

Say you have a receiving system that accepts HL7 and provides error messages in field ERR:3.9 in the ACK it returns. You require a different reply code action depending on the error message, however the Reply Code Actions settings for the operation do not provide this level of granularity. One option could be to create a process that takes the ACK and then completes the action you were expecting, however things can get a bit messy if the action is to retry the message, especially when trying to view a message trace.

Hi all!

In a project we needed to define topics to publish messages and register different subscribers which will receive those messages asynchronously. We also needed it to be as simple as possible and that we could use it on InterSystems IRIS directly.

As an experiment, I'm sharing this iris-pubsub open exchange example.

Infrastructure

This is built on top of InterSystems IRIS interoperability features, it needs a running production.

The first time we need to define how many partitions we want to dedicate to handle messages. The more partitions you add, the more capacity to handle messages.

Hi there,

Does anyone know where is the content for saved searches in Message Viewer is stored. We want to add searches we have created in QA to our deployment files.

thanks

Best Mike
