Digital health solution providers face increasing pressure to integrate complex health data systems while ensuring scalability, security, and compliance with standards like HL7 FHIR. Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) has revolutionized health data exchange by offering a standardized framework that allows diverse health IT systems to communicate effortlessly. But simply adhering to FHIR standards isn’t enough to overcome the intricacies of health data integration. Solution partners must leverage advanced architectural components like FHIR brokers, façades, and repositories to build scalable and efficient solutions. InterSystems offers all the essential features you need to implement FHIR for your health data, whether on-premises, in a public cloud, or as a cloud-based service managed by InterSystems.

Having been inspired with Shared code execution speed question/discussion, I dare to ask another one which is annoying me and my colleagues for several weeks.

We have a routine called Lib that comprises 200 $$-functions of 1500 code lines total. It was noticed that after calling _any_ function of another rather big routine (1900 functions, 32000 lines) the next call of $$someFunction^Lib(x) is getting 10-20% slower than previous call of the same function. This effect doesn't depend on:

What We’re Looking For:
3+ years of experience with InterSystems IRIS, Caché, or Ensemble
Strong skills in ObjectScript, SQL, and scripting languages (Python/Java a plus)
Experience with healthcare interoperability (HL7, FHIR, X12)
Cloud knowledge is a bonus (Azure, AWS, or GCP)
Curious mind + collaborative spirit + bias for action

Create Python pages

Hi Guys,

How can I create Python pages instead of CSP or Zen pages, not familiar with Python and the only way I know is using embedded Python as methods as attached below?

Thanks

I am having issues trying to send SOAP requests to a Cloud Based AWS Application that lives outside of our network.

It is using a Basic Authentication, Key, Certificate Authority and Whitelist for Security.

If I attempt the connection using wget from the command line I am able to connect,

Let's suppose two different routines use one and the same chunk of code. From the object-oriented POV, a good decision is to have this chunk of code in a separate class and have both routines call it. However, whenever you call code outside of the routine as opposed to calling code in the same routine, some execution speed is lost. For reports churning through millions of transactions this lost speed might be noticeable. Any advice how to optimize specifically speed?

If you're migrating from Oracle to InterSystems IRIS—like many of my customers—you may run into Oracle-specific SQL patterns that need translation.

Take this example:

SELECT (TO_DATE('2023-05-12','YYYY-MM-DD') - LEVEL + 1) AS gap_date
FROM dual
CONNECT BY LEVEL <= (TO_DATE('2023-05-12','YYYY-MM-DD') - TO_DATE('2023-05-02','YYYY-MM-DD') + 1);

In Oracle:

Hi IRIS experts!

I have a parameter in a class that stores a global name:

Parameter GlobalName = "^AGlobal";

then I'm trying to call it as:

set gn=$name(..#GlobalName)

to use it later as:

set @gn@("index")="value"

But! I'm having syntax at set gn=$name(..#GlobalName)

What am I doing wrong?

Does anyone have a query that I could run to show a Vendor the time difference between when a message was sent out a BO, and when we received the HL7 ACK back that is associated with the message sent?

I am trying to prove to this vendor of the delay we are seeing getting the ACK back because of a Timeout

I know how to pull Ens.MessageHeader, and EnsLib.HL7.Message but not sure how to match up the Message with the HL7 Acknowledgement received.

I have a stream that I read out until the end. I then append more content to the stream and want to read out only what has been added. How do I only read out the new contents of the stream? Essentially, I want to read a stream, record the end position, then once the stream is updated read the contents from that recorded position until at the new end. This stream needs to be kept intact for historical reference so cannot be cleared between reads.
