Some key points are emphasized in this article in order to save your time to get linux ldap client in cache working with windows AD (active directory) LDAP server. The first thing to do is to get successful TLS connection to windows AD. Raw tcp case is beyond of this article, there is no problem with it, it is trivial. Windows ldap server uses port 636 for tls and this port can be used to get ldap certificate. As we will see later there is reason for this. linux ldap client uses STARTTLS special ldap extension to switch plain tcp to TLS only.
Hence, connection should use port 389.

I'm looking for a way to get the message header ID for the current message in a Request to a Business Process.

I've located some code that gives me what I need, but it runs the risk of violating the "abstraction layer" ISC has in place around such things. And while I very much appreciate their efforts at keeping things simple for me ... well, sometimes you just have to dig through the guts to get what you want.

Is there a documented, deprecation-resistant method for getting at %Ensemble("%Process").%PrimaryRequestHeader.%Id() from within a  BP?

Gartner defined DataOps as: "A collaborative data management practice focused on improving the communication, integration and automation of data flows between data managers and data consumers across an organization. The goal of DataOps is to deliver value faster by creating predictable delivery and change management of data, data models and related artifacts. DataOps uses technology to automate the design, deployment and management of data delivery with appropriate levels of governance, and it uses metadata to improve the usability and value of data in a dynamic environment.

A concurrent session in IRIS:
SQL, Objects, REST, and GraphQL

Introduction

We’ve already addressed the topic of why object/type representation is superior to SQL for implementing subject area models. And those conclusions and facts are as true now as they have ever been. So why should we take a step back and discuss technologies that drag abstractions back to the global level, where they had been in the pre-object and pre-type era? Why should we encourage the use of spaghetti code, which results in bugs that are hard to track down, and which relies only on virtuoso developer skills? 

There are several arguments in favor of transmitting data via SQL/REST/GraphQL-based APIs as opposed to representing them as types/objects:

Hi Community,

Please welcome the new video from #VSummit20:

⏯ Special Sauce: InterSystems IRIS Overview

Is there a call in ZEN to FOP to combine (merge) separate PDF documents into one?

Or does anyone know of a Windows server program that could be called from Cache to do this.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

is it possible to avoid the display of certain properties in a custom message class in the message viewer content section. The message class is a common Ens.Request with a bunch of properties alongside one property of Type enslib.dicom.document wich in Turn is Not extended By %XML.Adaptor so the content display of course displays an error. 

My idea is to avoid the display of That certain property When output is rendered (Text/XML). Using Ens.Util.MessageBodyMethods and method %OnShowContents could be a way to do this But i don‘t find a way to do so.

Hey Developers,

The InterSystems FHIR Accelerator contest is over. And now it's time to announce the winners! 

Are you excited?

A storm of applause goes to these developers and their applications:

(2021.1.0 isn't an option in the Product dropdown, but that's the version of HS I'm asking about!)

In the past I've used HS.Util.Installer.InstallBusDemo() to set up a local HealthShare environment (registry, edges, access gateway, etc.)  I don't see an equivalent in HealthShare 2021.1.  I tried importing the bits and pieces from a lower version but always seem to be missing something.  Is there an equivalent utility to do a local setup in HS 2021.1?

Thanks,

Lori

Google has one intersting tool named Data Studio. This tool allows creating some interactive dashboards, based on your data, available from the internet. It already offers hundreds of connectors to any sort of data developed by the community. As well as some amount of community developed visualizing. And most importantly, Google offers a way to develop your own connector to your data. 

FHIRaaS provides a REST API, and it's available from the internet. So I've decided to try to create some basic report on data stored there. And in the end, I got this.

Hi guys,

It's FHIR contest and this time, they provided something really cool: FHIRaaS

And to be part of this, @José Pereira and I team up (again) to deliver something easy to use and easy to understand how we did.

Introduction

In the first article, a simple tutorial helped you to set up your FHIRaaS deployment.

Now, let's move forward and introduce a JS library to access the FHIR resource.

In the end, two examples of usage of this library will be presented, exploring the Appointment FHIR resource type.

SMART on FHIR JavaScript Library

FHIR is a REST API, so you can use any HTTP client in order to use it. But, it’s always a good idea to have help.

Furthermore, there is a cool initiative called SMART which aims to provide standards for easy access to health data stored over health systems.

Introduction

This article aims to provide an overview of InterSystems IRIS FHIR Accelerator Service (FHIRaaS) driven by the implementation of application iris-on-fhir, available in OEX developed for the FHIRaaS contest.

A basic tutorial will guide you in configuring a function FHIRaaS deployment, including an API key and an OAuth 2.0 server.

A library to use FHIR resources through FHIRaaS also is briefly discussed.

Finally, some features of the iris-on-fhir application are shown in separted articles. You can check out the full code at the application’s github repository.

I'm probably missing something really basic here -

• I spun up a copy of the Iris community edition AMI.  
• Added Objectscript extension to vscode
• Added objectscript extension pack to vscode
• Added server manager to vscode
• Connected to iris AWS instance using PuTTY
• Changed password
• in vscode, I used server tool to add the server

It seems to connect OK; I can see the %SYS and USER namespaces.  I clicked the "edit code in namespace" button and created a bit of hello world code.  However, when I try to save it, I get "failed to save file 'filename.mac' on the server.

Is there a way to add/substract from a pivot variable?

I have this MDX:

SELECT
  NON EMPTY [DateOfSale].[Actual].[YearSold].&[$variable.Year] ON 0,
  NON EMPTY [Product].[P1].[Product Name].Members ON 1
FROM [HOLEFOODS]

And with pivot variable Year equal to, say, 2016 it works:

Now I want to add previous year  first with one pivot variable and one explicit reference. It also works:

SELECT
  NON EMPTY
  {
    [DateOfSale].[Actual].[YearSold].&[$variable.Year],
    [DateOfSale].[Actual].[YearSold].&[2015]
  } ON 0,
  NON EMPTY [Product].[P1].[Product Name].

In this article, I will show how you can easily containerize  .Net/Java Gateways.

For our example, we will develop an Integration with Apache Kafka.

And to interoperate with Java/.Net code we will use PEX .

Architecture

Our solution will run completely in docker and look like this:

Java Gateway

First of all, let's develop Java Operation to send messages into Kafka. The code can be written in your IDE of choice and it can look like this.

In short:

• To develop new PEX Business Operation we need to implement  abstract com.intersystems.enslib.pex.

Is there a way in BI (DeepSee) to compare current value, to a value of a previous year?

For example I can hardcode this explicitly:

But I want in a widget to filter by year (1st column) and get the value for a previous year in a next column. YTY would be even better.

What MDX functions should I use? Examples?

Episode 19 of Data Points features a conversation with Benjamin De Boe about the 2021.1 release of InterSystems IRIS! The conversation covers new improvements in analytics, business intelligence, machine learning, development gateways, FHIR capability, and more.

This time I want to talk about something not specific to InterSystems IRIS, but that I think is important if you want to work with Docker and your server at work is a PC or laptop with Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise.

As you likely know, containers technology comes basically from Linux world and, nowadays, is on Linux hosts were it shows maximum potential. Those who use Windows on a normal basis see that both, Microsoft and Docker, have done important efforts during these last years that allow us to run containers based on Linux images on our Windows system in a really easy way... but it's something not supported for production systems and, this is the big problem, is not reliable if we want to keep persistent data outside of containers, in the host system,... mostly due to the big differences between Windows and Linux file systems. In the end, Docker for Windows itself uses a small linux virtual machine (MobiLinux) to run the containers... it does it transparently for the windows user... and it works perfectly well if, as I said, you don't require that your databases survive longer than the container...

Well,...let's get to the point,... the point is that many times, to avoid issues and simplify, we need a full Linux system and, if our server is based on Windows, the only way of having it is through a virtual machine. At least till WSL2 in Windows is released, but that will be another story and sure it'll take a bit of time to become robust enough.

In this article, I'll tell you, step by step, how to install an environment where you'll be able to work, if you need it, with Docker containers on an Ubuntu system in your Windows server. Let's go...

Hello All,

InterSystems Certification has developed a certification exam for HealthShare Patient Index and, if you match the exam candidate description given below, we would like you to beta test the exam.

Hey Developers,

Here is a digest of the Developer Community videos on InterSystems Developers YouTube Channel in May 2021:

Hi guys,

How can we remove a business host from a running production?

I've read and tested how to add it to a production, while when I try to remove it from the production with the following codes:

Set tSC = $$$OK
    Set prodName = "CDRDemo.DemoProduction"
    Set confName = "TEST1"
    Set className = "Demo.LISClient.Operation.PatientOperation"
    #Dim prodConf As Ens.Config.Production = ##class(Ens.Config.Production).%OpenId(prodName)
    Set itemId = ""
    &SQL(Select ID into :itemId from Ens_Config.

I've poked through the class documentation and globals and I can't seem to find what I'm looking for, namely a mechanism that will give me the PropName key and value for each of the Items in an EnsLib.HL7.SearchTable definition. Is there some sort of query that will turn the list of Items in the XData SearchSpec section into a key/value pair of some sort?

For example:

<Items>
<Item DocType=""  PropName="MSHTypeName" Unselective="true">{1:9.1}_"_"_{1:9.

I've been tasked with an interface that needs to supply some additional metadata for the indexing of HL7v2 messages. After toying with a couple of ideas, I thought that it would be useful to subclass EnsLib.HL7.Message, add a %DynamicObject property, and store the metadata in it (it ends up getting sent to the target in JSON form anyway).

And, well, it seems to work just fine ... so far.

I seem to remember that %DynamicObjects are not persistent, and for that reason not something you would normally stuff into a database.

When using Studio, ODBC or a terminal connection to Caché or Ensemble, you may have wondered how to secure the connection. One option is to add TLS (aka SSL) to your connection. The Caché client applications - TELNET, ODBC and Studio - all understand how to add TLS to the connection. They just need to be configured to do it.

Configuring these clients is easier in 2015.1 and later. I'm going to be discussing this new method. If you're already using the old, legacy method, it will continue to work, but I would recommend you consider switching to the new one.

I need assistance to delete an instance of HealthShare that I am sure it way out of date.  From the VM Server Control Panel when I try to Uninstall, I get the error Message: "Error: Could not detect INSTANCE name!" 

Are there commands in SQL that may help uninstall the instance of the application?  Other Suggestions?
