Power your IrisCluster serviceTemplate with kube-vip

If you're running IRIS in a mirrored IrisCluster for HA in Kubernetes, the question of providing a Mirror VIP (Virtual IP) becomes relevant. Virtual IP offers a way for downstream systems to interact with IRIS using one IP address. Even when a failover happens, downstream systems can reconnect to the same IP address and continue working.

The lead in above was stolen (gaffled, jacked, pilfered) from techniques shared to the community for vips across public clouds with IRIS by @Eduard Lebedyuk ...

Articles: ☁ vip-aws | vip-gcp | vip-azure

This version strives to solve the same challenges for IRIS on Kubernetes when being deployed via MAAS, on prem, and possibly yet to be realized using cloud mechanics with Manged Kubernetes Services.

Using embedded Python while building your InterSystems-based solution can add very powerful and deep capabilities to your toolbox.

I'd like to share one sample use-case I encountered - enabling a CDC (Change Data Capture) for a mongoDB Collection - capturing those changes, digesting them through an Interoperability flow, and eventually updating an EMR via a REST API.

Business Services limit

Hi guys,

Is it bad to have too many Business Services in a production and what's the limit, I'm looking to convert our system tasks (around 30 of them) into Business Services and wondering if it's a better option?

Thanks

Hi,

I'm using the iris for health community edition and I cannot seem to get the FHIR server configuration UI to show up. I was able to create a FHIR server programaticlly but none of the user interface features that the installation guide talks about are available. Once I was created the server I was able to see a Bulk FHIR Coordinator in the management portal, ut that's it. Are the UI features not available in the community edition or do they need to be enabled somehow?

I have a quite complex FHIR Implementation Guide (IG) which is based on several other FHIR IGs. It's likely the versions of IGs conflict with each other.

From what I understand, I would need to load in all the other FHIR IG's first?

I don't actually need FHIR profiles to be in our FHIR Repository - I'm just after terminology and the examples for our test system.

Is it possible to load a FHIR IG just as data? (I think I mean here, ignore the FHIR profiles and dependencies between them)

Can someone give me an explanation of how Local.PD.Linkage.Definition.Individual works? This was setup by another company as part of our implementation.

Below is my configuration..

We are getting a lot of matches on Given Name, but then the Family Name does not match at all, so I am wondering if these need to be adjusted. I just don't understand if they need to be positive or negative.

Hi everyone, on HealthShare Unified Care Record 2024.1.0 Build, we're using the Analytics section to create a dashboard containing a time chart showing a cumulative curve of the number of documents indexed in the registry for each documentSource of each repository. We tried the following steps: we created a cube whose dimensions are the CreationDate, SourceValue, and repositoryUniqueID of the HS_Registry.Document table; in the Analytics section, we created a pivot table that lists the document creation date on each row, along with as many columns as each repository's documentSources.

Hello everyone! 👋

I have a question regarding roles and resources.

To give you some context: I have a user who has been assigned only the role %HS_UsageDashboard_Access.This allows them to access the dashboards correctly (by giving the direct URL). Then, if I try to access the Management Portal with this same user, I can log in with no access to any resources within it (as expected).

Trying to check date in DTL.

Want to throw a custom error not the default one from the $ZDTH. It does in the try as will write "Error" when testing the DTL but the actual error not showing. Report errors is turned on. I also tried the THROW logic from best practices but that doesn't work either. $SYSTEM.Status.DisplayError(status) does display what the error should be returned.

Hello!

I'm trying to create some foreign tables to a PostgreSQL database. In some cases, columns with certain datatypes cannot be consumed by IRIS and the following error is thrown:

[SQLCODE: <-237>:<Schema import for foreign table did not return column metadata>]

[%msg: <Unkown data type returned by external database>]

For example: serial4 typed ID columns are typical examples. Is it possible, what's the best way of resolving these datatypes, which- seemingly- don't have proper JDBC metadata mappings?

Hi,

I'd like to report a really strange behavior of the Intersystems Lite Terminal after executing a simple ObjectScript instruction.

From the Intersystems Lite terminal, execute the following instructions:

- Set uniqueId = "12345678_1"
- Set uniqueId = $p(uniqueId,"_",1)_"_"_($p(uniqueId,"_",*)+1)
After executing the second instruction, the terminal closes without any error.
