We are a group of interface analysts in a healthcare setting, running IRIS for Health 2024, having upgraded over time from an old ENSEMBLE environment. We have been working on a wish list of development goals, but are having trouble finding the correct, best practice method/path for getting to what we envision.

Hi, Community!

Have you thought about becoming a subject matter expert (SME) for InterSystems Certification?

The benefits are many—but you can hear directly from five members of our SME community as they discuss:

How did participating in exam development boost your own expertise?

I created a Custom Search Table that extends EnsLib.HL7.Search Table. I saved, compiled, and rebuilt the index however when I go into Message Search to try to use the Search Table, within the conditions the proper fields are not showing up that was defined. It is showing the fields from EnsLib.HL7.SearchTable. I did a build index on both EnsLib.HL7.SearchTable and OSU.HL7.SearchTable.

Question
· Aug 9
Manifest or Class?

I have the unfortunate job of installing IRIS and Healthshare (real Healthshare not Healthconnect) on 16 difference instances (tst, stg, prd with mirrors etc). the Dev was set up manually (mostly by me).

So I decided to create a class that installed the db's, namespaces, mappings and HSREGISTRY options , i then decided an installer manifest was a better idea, I keep changing my mind on which!. I understanding manifest is "typically" for dockers to create the environment but have seen ISC use them for creating new setups aswell (outside docker)

Have you ever needed to change an IP or port before deploying an interface to production? Needed to remove items from an export? What about modifying the value(s) in a lookup table before deploying? Have you wanted to disable an interface before deploying? What about adding a comment, category, or alert setting to an interface before deploying to production?

I'm trying to gather more data for one of my namespaces so I can do some analysis. However when I run .BuildIndex() nothing populates in the resulting SQL table. I've tried deleting the class and reimporting and compiling and still nothing. I feel like I'm doing something OBVIOUS that's wrong but I can't quite figure out what it is. Here's what I'm doing (Customer name redacted)

We have a vendor that is requiring that the HL7 sent to them is sent as an Encoded message inside a SOAP request but is sending back an HL7 message as the response.

When the WSDL built the response, it was expecting an encoded message back. I updated the Request and Business Operation to expect an EnsLib.HL7.Message, however I am not sure how to handle the HL7 ACK to post it back to the sending message so it will not cause an Orphan message, and to parse it back correctly in the trace viewer.

When I do a $$$LOGINFO on the pResponse, I get back...

Hi folks!

It is very easy to import CSV data into IRIS. But what if we want to preserve the original IDs in CSV?

Recently I came across with the situation when I needed to import two csv's into IRIS which were linked by one column referencing to another csv's col: a typical Foreign Key and Primary Key situation, where csv1 contains this column as Primary Key, and csv2 as Foreign key with id's related to csv1.

The image is generated by ChatGPT so don't blame it - it tried its best to generate countries as primary keys with countries.csv-cities.csv relationship :)
