I'm new to HealthShare. I've installed a demo using the HS.Util.Installer helper, now I'm playing with its FHIR Gateway (which is the HSFHIR namespace). When I try to create a new resource of type Patient using HTTP POST, HealthShare responses with

You probably know this situation:
Some time ago, you found a very special $ZU function for a very specific type of problem. Some kind of mystical formula. It became popular and was used by many developers throughout your code and across all your installations.

Several versions and updates later, you are informed by ISC that your mystical $ZU is deprecated and no longer supported. You are advised to replace it with a new $something().

When working with InterSystems Interoperability (Iris / Health Connect / Ensemble), configuration data is often spread across many production items: services, processes, operations, adapters, and their settings.

A common operational or security need is to answer questions like:

Embeddedpy-bridge: A Toolkit for Embedded Python

Overview

Embedded Python is a game-changer for InterSystems IRIS, offering access to the vast Python ecosystem directly within the database. However, bridging the gap between ObjectScript and Python can sometimes feel like translating between two different worlds.

Hi developers!

There is a neat feature of ObjectScript classes - Query element, which allows you to write in a clear SQL (without any & or ()), pass parameters to it and call it from ObjectScript as do QueryNameFunc() or via Call SQLProcedureName via SQL, .e.g.

I'm trying to login and seeing the message 'Unexpected request - client_id'. Could you please have a look?

Hi developers!
Happy holidays!

In ObjectScript there is neat option to log errors - call Log() method of an exception intance, e.g.:

ClassMethod MyMethod() {

Try {

w 1/0

}

Catch e {

do e.Log() // logging error in the app log

write "the error happened: "_e.DisplayString()

}

}

Is there anything like that for Embedded Python? e.g:

ClassMethod MyMethod() [Language = python] {

 try:

   print(1/0)

 except ZeroDivisionError as e:

   // how can I log e into IRIS App Error Log here?

   print("Caught exception: " + str(e))

}

Any ideas?

How to Build Applications with LangGraph: A Step-by-Step Guide

Tags: #LangGraph #LangChain #AI #Agents #Python #LLM #StateManagement #Workflows

Hi everyone, I want to tell you a little about LangGraph, a tool that I'm studying and developing.

Hi,
Our production FHIR server is populated by several processes from several sources,
some of those sources send test data or wrong data (by mistake or as part of an integration test),
the data is consumed by our BI every 15 minutes.
when I mark a resource as test (using meta security) BI knows to update it on their system.
everything is fine up to here (except that there is test data in Prod)
my problem is that if someone send the same patient again it will recreate the patient without the security tag.
any thoughts?

InterSystems API Manager (IAM) is a core component of the InterSystems IRIS Data Platform, offering centralized API management with a strong emphasis on security. IAM simplifies the entire API lifecycle, from creation to retirement, and provides a developer portal for easy API discovery and integration. Access control features allow administrators to define precise permissions, and IAM seamlessly integrates with the IRIS Data Platform, enhancing data management and integration capabilities.

Features of IAM include:

The Power of Indexing in Database Tables

When working with databases, most developers understand the concept of an index and why it's used: to speed up data retrieval. But the real impact of indexing often becomes clear only when you compare scenarios with and without it.

Do you Know what Happens Without an Index?
Imagine a table with three columns: Name, Age, and MobileNumber.

Looking at my database I see I have a very big ^rINDEXSQL global? Why is that? 😬

In the Management Portal SQL page, under "SQL Statements" I see a 'Clean stale' button - what does this do? 🤔

In the list of Statements some have a 'Location' value and some don't? How is that? 🤨

Hey Developers,
