In our latest episode of Data Points, I had a conversation with Carmen Logue and Mary Ann Fusi about Adaptive Analytics and Smart Data Fabrics. A lot has changed and improved since the last time we discussed this product on the podcast, so take a listen!

With IRIS 2021.1, we released a significant revision our SQL utilities API at %SYSTEM.SQL. Yes, that's a while ago now, but last week a customer asked a few questions about this and then @Tom Woodfin applied gentle mental pressure ;-) to make me describe the rationale of these changes in a little more detail on the Developer Community. So here we go!

Is there any way to connect PHP Laravel 8 and Cache DB.

I am tried with one post found in DC, but that is not working for me also.

If anyone has any suggestions please help me out in this.

Hi

I'm thinking to deploy healthshare using kubernetes. Has any one done this before? How will the TCP listeners in healthshare work with kubernetes? Will they automatically create a service endpoint so that I can route traffic?

Please advise me on how to think about this.

Thanks

Hi Community,

Please welcome the new video on InterSystems Developers YouTube:

⏯ Getting To Know FHIR - The Best Explanation of FHIR They've Ever Heard @ Global Summit 2022

A new release of ZPM has been published 0.5.0

New in this release

• Added support for Python's requirements.txt file
• Using tokens for publishing packages
• Fixed various issues

Python's requirements.txt

Now, if your project uses Python embedded and requires some Python's dependencies, you can add requirements.txt file to the project, as usual for any Python project, file have to be in the root of a project next to module.xml. And with load command or install command, ZPM will install dependencies from that file with using pip.

USER>zpm "install python-faker"

1. iris-dollar-list

Interpretor of $list for python named DollarList.

This interpretor was made because :

• I wanted to use $list in python.
• Embedded Python do not support $list.
• The native API version do not support embedded $list in $list.

This is a work in progress. For now, it only support embedded $list in $list, int and string.

WIP float,decimal,double

This module is available on Pypi :

pip3 install iris-dollar-list

It is compatible with embedded python and native api.

Hello all; I am using a one-to-many relationship.  I have a Claim (one), in a relationship with Lines (many), but the Claim is storing a list of Lines IDs, rather than the Lines storing the Claim Id.  This seems upside down, and not what I expected.

Class Claim

{
    Relationship ClaimLineRel as ClaimLine [Cardinality = many, Inverse = Claim];
}

Class ClaimLine
{
    Relationship Claim as Claim [ Cardinality = one, Inverse = ClaimLineRel, OnDelete = cascade];
    Index ClaimIndex on Claim;
}

But the storage globals for Claim show data in the ClaimLine spot:

^ClaimD(1)=$lb("",$lb(2,3).

In Cache 2018, we were using a macro in a query that looked like this:

select $$GetExtraSQL^GetExtra('B',bddtl.odnumb,bddtl.odsnum,bddtl.oddsc1) as "Description", * from sqluser.bddtl

We could save that query as a view, and there was no problem with it.

In IRIS, if we put that query into SQL in the management portal, it still works, but if we save that query as a view, when we try to run a query on that view, we get a big error message:

ERROR #5540: SQLCODE: 400 Message: Process 604526 failed to compile Cached Query Class %sqlcq.R001.cls2136 with these errors: ERROR #5475: Error compiling

Good morning, evening, night,... 

A small reflection/question for today... it's true that new IRIS for Health (I4H) releases are more and more powerful each time regarding FHIR capabilities. Nowadays it allows us to consume FHIR resources with extrem easiness, we can connect with end-points in external FHIR servers very easily and make I4H act as passthrough or consume their resources... or, even more, we can define, configure and run a FHIR repository in, literally, less than 5 minutes.

This is the tenth in a series of releases that are part of the developer preview program for 2022.2. Future preview releases are expected to be updated biweekly and we will add features as they are ready. Please share your feedback through the Developer Community so we can build a better product together.

As usual,  CD releases come with classic installation packages for all supported platforms, as well as container images in Docker container format.  For a complete list, refer to the Supported Platforms document.

Hi all.

I have a scenario where I am receiving NACKs and I'd like to adjust the error handing of the operation based on the content of the NACK.

For example, I could receive the following and want to move onto the next message:

MSH| ^~\&|||||20221025083135.489+0100||ACK ^A02^ACK|9271|D|2.5.1
MSA|AE|1664378390234
ERR|||207 ^Application internal error ^HL70357^^^^^^Cannot transfer patient, encounter is cancelled.|E

However, I could also receive the following and want to keep retrying:

MSH| ^~\&|||||20221014103828.043+0100||ACK^A03^ACK|1049|D|2.5.1
MSA|AE|1665740278804
ERR|||207^Application

Adding VSCode into your IRIS container

One of the easiest ways to setup repeatable development environments is to spin up containers for them. I find that when iterating quickly, it was very convenient to host a vscode instance within my development container. Thus, I have created a quick container script to add a browser-based vscode into an IRIS container. This should work for most 2021.1+ containers. My code repository can be found here

Hi ,

Still a newbie for ensemble, I am trying to convert XML message to HL7 Message. I am using Custom schema for XML structure which includes MSH and PID segments from HL7 Message.

These are the service, process, Operation classes i am using 

Business service-EnsLib.EDI.XML.Service.FileService

Business Process-EnsLib.MsgRouter.RoutingEngine

Business operation -EnsLib.HL7.Operation.FileOperation

I am using data transformation to convert XML message to HL7 message  and data transformation is working fine and im getting this in the business operation.

Hello,

We are very interested about studying DICOM in deep, both the standar itself and how it is related to HealthShare.

Could you please point us to some good references: documentation, courses, books, pdfs, explanations; to understand what is this standard about and how works.

Thanks for your replies

We have read:

https://dicom.nema.org/medical/dicom/current/output/html/part01.html

https://docs.intersystems.com/irisforhealthlatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.U…

Could you spot for us and reference some good documentation and/or videos or courses to know, understand and read about

Hello,

I need to add an NTE segment after the OBX segment. I'm not a programmer so, I'm hoping to do this on the DTL Editor. Is it possible? If yes, how?

Some ORU messages from my EMR come in to Iris without NTE after the OBX. Thus, I need to add it in Iris For Health. 

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I have an issue when calling Trakcare's webservices using a web application.

The issue is that, the browser is blocking the queries because of the CORS Policy.

In fact, the browser is sending a first HTTP query OPTIONS called "preflight" (in Chrome's developers tools) and Apache server answers with no CORS Control Origin in Header (CORS header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ missing). So the query is blocked and does not reach the Webservices server (IRIS Interoperability).

We were advice to add those configuration in Apache:

SetEnvIf REQUEST_METHOD OPTIONS options
Header onsuccess

I am demonstrating a use case of how we can create an IRIS Interoperability Production for special use in an external language.InterSystems IRIS, within Interoperability has a framework called Production Extension (PEX), using which we can create productions and program them as per their purpose using external languages like Java, Python etc, and also develop custom inbound and outbound adapters to communicate with other applications.

I know there is the ability to enable Rule Sets within a Business Rule by dates, but what about Sub-Rules or just Rules in general? We have an upcoming go-live that is at Midnight and I was wondering if there was a way I could script out enabling rules/sub-rules within a Business Rule to save my team some time and headaches. Or is the best practice is just to create another rule for the go-live, then move it over once we are live...

Hello

I have a problem on enabling SNMP monitoring on Cache.

I installed on HP UX NET SNMP 5.7.2 package from HP Software Center and enabled agentX protocol in snmpd.cfg. 

When I enabled full debugging on Cache and NET SNMP I discovered that sent and received packets on both sides are not the same. Some bytes are different. I think the problem is in default charset for TCP/IP connection which is on our system set to CP1250 instead of default RAW. So result is that Cache notifies are not visibile from snmpwalk etc.

Is there a solution for this issue?

YASPE is the successor to YAPE (Yet Another pButtons Extractor). YASPE has been written from the ground up with many internal changes to allow easier maintenance and enhancements.

YASPE functions:

• Parse and chart InterSystems Caché pButtons and InterSystems IRIS SystemPerformance files for quick performance analysis of Operating System and IRIS metrics.
• Allow a deeper dive by creating ad-hoc charts and by creating charts combining the Operating System and IRIS metrics with the "Pretty Performance" option.
• The "System Overview" option saves you from searching your SystemPerformance files for system details or common configuration options.

YASPE is written in Python and is available on GitHub as source code or for Docker containers at:
