Is there a way in a EnsLib.SQL.InboundAdpapter that you can tell when you have reached the end of the Results of the Query?

Upon doing A NEW INSTALL of IRIS 2025.1 on a new computer, the IR task appears in the tray and a right click to invoke the Launcher yields no response. Any suggestions are appreciated.

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is updated read the contents from that recorded position until at the new end.This stream needs to be kept intact for historical reference so cannot be cleared between reads.

An Overview of Data Studio in Asset Management

For a long time I have wanted to learn the Django framework, but another more pressing project has always taken priority.Like many developers, I use python when it comes to machine learning, but when I first learned web programming PHP was still enjoying primacy, and so when it was time for me to pick up a new complicated framework for creating web applications to publish my machine learning work, I still turned to PHP.

Are there any direct command to find the length of subscript of  global variable? Is it possible to code in objectscript to find the maximum length of subscript  in a global variable.

Is a layer before the internal HTTP of Caché/IRIS, such as a Reverse Proxy or API Gateway, a good option?

Example: I have an API using %CSP.REST, and I am using the internal port for development. But for production and approval, I put a reverse proxy using NGINX. Is this recommended? Is it an alternative?

Hi Community,

I have created global with below values , now I want to iterate programatically.

^Book("Auto1","Properties","Color")="Red"
^Book("Auto1","Properties","Color1")="Yellow"
^Book("Auto1","Properties","Model")="SUV"
^Book("Auto2","Owner")="Prashanth"
^Book("Auto2","Properties","Color")="Green"
^Book("Color")="Red"
^Book("Color1")="Red"

i have used below method but only printing last2 elements properly

ClassMethod Iterate()
{
set subscript = ""
for {
set subscript = $order(^Book(subscript))
quit:(subscript = "")
write !, "subscript=", subscript, ", value=", ^Book(subscript)
}
}

Thanks,

We're planning to use Production Validator for validating our system upgrade (2016.2.3 to 2024.2) , and we are trying to understand what kind of benchmarking or performance metrics others have observed during similar efforts.

Specifically, we are looking for a case study or real-world example that includes details like:

• How many messages were validated?
• How long did it take to create the temporary database from the source system?
• How long did it take to run the comparison on the destination system?

If anyone has done this recently and can share some stats or lessons learned, that would be

I am attempting to failover my TEST environment to the Backup, and I keep getting an error stating that 

06/01/25-18:47:54:516 (11864) 1 [Utility.Event] Primary startup failed, failed to read header of /archive/journal/MIRROR-IRISTEST-20250513.007 (file #63653)

however, when I go to /archive/journal/, I am not finding any record of MIRROR-IRISTEST-20250513.007 (file #63653)

to get out of this error message I have to restart what was the Primary and restart the Backup to get it back into a state that we can use it. 

There is a Namespace/Database that is on the backup and not part of the mirror,

We are attempting to setup an EnsLib.SOAP.OutboundAdapter to send an HL7 message to a vendor hosted AWS site. We have the Certificate from the vendor and defined the TLS setting. However, when we are sending the message we are receiving...

Unable to open TCP/IP socket to server hcis-staging.cbord.com:443

So, we figured it might be a firewall issue.With the TCP Outbound Adapter, we could specify which "Local Interface" to use so that our firewall knew to use the VIP that had has been NAT'd.I don't see this option with the EnsLib.SOAP.OutboundAdapter, so is this possible to do?

You know that feeling when you get your blood test results and it all looks like Greek? That's the problem FHIRInsight is here to solve. It started with the idea that medical data shouldn't be scary or confusing – it should be something we can all use. Blood tests are incredibly common for checking our health, but let's be honest, understanding them is tough for most folks, and sometimes even for medical staff who don't specialize in lab work. FHIRInsight wants to make that whole process easier and the information more actionable.

I have a question where I have over 30 000 records of data that I would like to send in HL7 and was looking at sending these in one bulk messages instead of individual messages in HL7.In this kind of a situation has anyone ever sent a bulk HL7 messages or is there a way of doing this other than using FHIR bundle.

Hello,

I am currently trying to install InterSystems IRIS for Health and specifically the Ensemble integration tool, but I am facing issues.

Here are the details of my setup:

• Version of IRIS: 2025.1 (Community Edition)
• Operating System: [Insert your OS here, e.g., Windows 10, Ubuntu 20.04, etc.]
• Issue: I have downloaded IRIS for Health, but I cannot find Ensemble during the installation process. I have tried using the Early Access programs, but Ensemble is not included in the options I can choose. I have also tried installing various versions of IRIS, but still, Ensemble is missing.
• What I

IRIS supports CCDA and FHIR transformations out-of-the-box, yet the ability to access and view those features requires considerable setup time and product knowledge. The IRIS Interop DevTools application was designed to bridge that gap, allowing implementers to immediately jump in and view the built-in transformation capabilities of the product. 

In addition to the IRIS XML, XPath, and CCDA Transformation environment, the Interop DevTools package now provides:

• FHIR-SDA Transformation setup
• SDA-FHIR Transformation setup
• Bubbling up of FHIR validation errors
• Loading of required context for

Hi Community,
In this article, I will introduce my application iris-fhir-bridge 
IRIS-FHIR-Bridge is a robust interoperability engine built on InterSystems IRIS for Health, designed to transform healthcare data across multiple formats into FHIR and vice versa. It leverages the InterSystems FHIR Object Model (HS.FHIRModel.R4.*) to enable smooth data standardization and exchange across modern and legacy healthcare systems.

Google Forms is the most popular solution on the market for collecting data, answering questionnaires and quizzes. So, it is the ideal solution for collecting patient data and responses in a practical way, without the need to expand or develop systems. In this article, I will detail how to create an account on Google Cloud, register the application that will consume the Google Forms API, generate the service user necessary to consume the API and finally perform actions to create new forms and collect data filled in them in an automated way in embedded Python and IRIS.

Profiling CCD Documents with LEAD North’s CCD Data Profiler
Ever opened a CCD and been greeted by a wall of tangled XML? You’re not alone. Despite being a core format for clinical data exchange, CCD's are notoriously dense, verbose, and unfriendly to the human eye. For developers and analysts trying to validate their structure or extract meaningful insights, navigating these documents can feel more like archaeology than engineering.

Introducing the CCD Data Profiler
LEAD North’s CCD Data Profiler is a full-stack tool built with Intersystems' technology that streamlines the import, parsing,
