I am seeking work with InterSystems HealthConnect.  My experience is working with Rules and DTLs, plus message search, and export of components.
I have actively developed and supported HL7 V2.x interfaces.

I reside in Massachusetts.  Open to full-time or contract roles, either local or remote.

My last assignment ended in June and I am again in job search.
Seeking positions that need experience in HealthConnect, modifying Rules and DTLs.

My background is in HL7 interface development and support.

Located in the greater Boston area, open to remote or hybrid as well.

Good morning,

We would need help, thanks in advance for your help. 🙂

We have been trying to debug the following error, when sending a DICOM from a "EnsLib.DICOM.Operation.TCP" to a PACs:

We use the following AET titles at the Operation:

LocalAET: ESBSSCC-DCM

RemoteAET: HUNSCESBGWT

We have observed that we do have the transfer syntax "1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.4" with the document syntax

I am looking to create a Python virtual environment (venv) so that my imported/installed python packages can be separate on different namespaces in IRIS. I am able to go and create an environment, activate it, and install packages, but I am not sure how to ensure that Embedded Python methods actually point to this virtual environment. 

Is the best solution to just load the virtual environment at runtime, in each method? That seems like a bad solution. Has anyone run into this and found a good solution?

Hey Community,

Hello Community,

Is there a programmatic method or specific property to differentiate system-defined (/csp/altelier , /api/mgmnt and so on)  or user-defined web applications in IRIS?

Thanks!

Hey Community!

We're excited to introduce a new way to interact with the Developer Community AI — you can now have a real conversation with it!

Instead of just asking one-off questions, you can chat with DC AI in a more natural, back-and-forth format. This way, whether you're exploring InterSystems technologies, debugging code, or learning something new, DC AI is here to help, just like a fellow developer.

I am writing this post primarily to gather an informal consensus on how developers are using Python in conjunction with IRIS, so please respond to the poll at the end of this article! In the body of the article, I'll give some background on each choice provided, as well as the advantages for each, but feel free to skim over it and just respond to the poll.

As most of you are probably aware, Python is currently the most popular programming language among developers around the world - and for good reason.

Hi everyone,

I'm working with JavaScript in InterSystems IRIS, specifically in CSP pages. One issue I'm running into during development is that the browser keeps loading the cached version of my JavaScript files, even after I’ve made changes or recompiled the code.
I would have to clear my cache files or browser history for it to reload and work.

Is there a recommended way or best practice in IRIS to automatically clear or bypass the browser cache for JavaScript?

Hi fellow developers!

Curious if you guys use CreatedAt and LastUpdated properties in your classes?

Created to stamp when the record was created and LastUpdated when it was last updated. Where it can be useful - almost everywhere )) I find it convenient in records sorting (e.g. by creation or last update), in sync (with other systems), and so on, for better analytics.

Do you use it all the time for all the classes?

If don't, why not? What do you use instead?

What property type do you use - %TimeStamp? %DateTime?

What is the best practice to have CreatedAt filled automatically during creation and LastUpdated on every successful save (guess it could be in %OnSave)?

Please share your experience /thoughts?

The below code is not working. its unable retrieve Record count and merge files

Class Util

{

ClassMethod zPyRecordCount(inputfile) As %Integer [ Language = python ]

{

    import pandas as pd

    import iris

    import io

    try:

        df = pd.read_csv(inputfile, sep='|')

        recordcount=len(df.index)

        sys.stdout.write(len(df.index))

        return recordcount

    except Exception as e:

        return 0

}

ClassMethod zPymergefiles(file1, file2, outputfilename) As %Boolean [ Language = python ]

{

    import pandas as pd

    import iris

    import io

    try:

        dataframe1=pd.read_csv(file1,

Is it possible to audit code changes in a namespace?

Ideally what we'd like to be able to do is check which classes were compiled (or deleted) in a time period, eg in last 3 months, and which user made those changes. Even better would be an audit of what those changes were, but that's less important (for us, as we can probably find that information in other ways).

We have a service where 3 groups, each with multiple users, potentially have access to make changes to the live service.With the best will in the world, each group doesn't always tell every other group about changes made...

Hi noble devs!

Just building a simple frontend->JSON->IRIS backend story, and figured that IRIS while importing via %JSON.Adaptor wants JSON fields to match property names, meaning even should match the case. Like:

{ name: "John", 

surname: "Doe"}

will have issues while saving the dynamic object to a class Sample.Person with:

Class Sample.Person Extends (%Persistent, %JSON.Adaptor)

{

Property Name: %Sting;Property Surname: %String;
}

As soon as the case is not the same... 

Is there any setting to fix this?) By fixing I mean I want IRIS to don't care about the case JSON fields, as it

Thank you community for translating an earlier article into Portuguese.
Am returning the favor with a new release of Pattern Match Workbench demo app.

Added support for Portuguese.

The labels, buttons, feedback messages and help-text for user interface are updated.

Pattern Descriptions can be requested for the new language.

The single AI Model for transforming user prompt into Pattern match code was fully retrained.

Values to Pattern Code Model also retrained

The separate AI model for generating Pattern match code from a sample list of values has been retrained.

Can someone point me to learning resources / documentation for Intersystems Terminal? I have scoured YouTube, Intersystems documentation, and the internet. Many of the Object Script commands I found don't work (and that are listed here) do not work in the version of terminal that I have:

https://docs.intersystems.com/ens201817/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls…

So far, I have only found 1 YouTube video that presented commands that 'actually' work my Cache terminal install:

I was wondering what best practice was for using macros in Embedded Python, i.e. iris.execute('$$$MACRO()') or something else. Does anyone have insight into this?

Hello Community,

When handling a %CSP.REST API response for a custom endpoint, how can I capture or access the response content before it is written to the output buffer and sent through the Web Gateway to the UI?

In manually created REST services (for example, with a route like:<Route Url="/test" Method="POST" Call="User.Sample:Test" Cors="true"/> ),
the response is typically written from within any class method in the execution flow.

Is there a way to intercept or log the response content before it is sent to the client?

Thanks!
