We use the Caché JDBC Gateway to Oracle and SQL servers to directly invoke their stored procedures from Ensemble. Getting quick, inline data results back are typically handled within the Functions.Library class as a function to wrap the query and format the return appropriately.
OpenAPI-Client Gen has just released, this is an application to create an IRIS Interoperability Production client from Swagger 2.0 specification.
Instead of the existing tool ^%REST that creates a server-side REST application, OpenAPI-Client Gen creates a complete REST Interoperability Production client template.
When calling out to web services there are several settings of the Business Operation that play together in controlling what will happen when a response is not returned in the desired time.
Often we need to debug a Business Operation. Tracing and logging work but sometimes you want to work with a BO as with your local terminal session.
Here's how you can do that on any operating system.
Windows has a great tool for debugging Business Operations - Foreground mode. In that mode Windows launches a local terminal with operation job.
Note that there's an issue with some InterSystems IRIS versions which caused cterm launch instead of iristerm. To fix that you can either install Caché/Ensemble/HealthShare on a same server or run this reg file:
IRIS and Ensemble are designed to act as an ESB/EAI. This mean they are build to process lots of small messages.
But some times, in real life we have to use them as ETL. The down side is not that they can't do so, but it can take a long time to process millions of row at once.
To improve performance, I have created a new SQLOutboundAdaptor who only works with JDBC.
BatchSqlOutboundAdapter
Extend EnsLib.SQL.OutboundAdapter to add batch batch and fetch support on JDBC connection.
This series of articles would cover Python Gateway for InterSystems Data Platforms. Execute Python code and more from InterSystems IRIS. This project brings you the power of Python right into your InterSystems IRIS environment:
Below is a simple alert processor based on the EnsLib.HTTP.OutboundAdapter to send text alerts via an SMS Gateway service. Typically, all that is needed to send an HTTP Post to the gateway service is the destination phone number, a source phone number, credentials, and the URL.
The code below is based on the Anveo gateway whose interface is as follows:
Running predictive models natively in an InterSystems IRIS Business Process has of course always been the goal of our PMML support, but somehow never made it into the kit because there were a few dependencies and choices that needed addressing and answering. Anyhow, thanks to some pushing and code kindly provided by @Amir Samary (Thanks again Amir!), we finally got it wrapped in a GitHub repo for your enjoyment, review and suggestions.
Recently we supported a few NHS cases that required TIE (Trust Integration Engine) integration with the PKB service. Hence this article is meant to be a 10-minute quick guide to describe a demo solution (simple configurations and end-2-end implementation steps) for Health Connect (Ensemble) Integration with PKB (Patient-Knows-Best) service.
Before we begin, I'd like to mention that I am by no means an Ensemble expert, so take this with a grain of salt and please feel free to offer any suggestions for improvement. That being said, I have enjoyed working with Ensemble and wanted to share the approach I took to poll an external REST API for patient data in the hopes that it might help others with a similar goal.
Many mobile applications that enable users to get information about road fines and pay them, send notifications about newly added fines. This functionality can be efficiently implemented using push notifications sent to users’ devices.
Our application was not an exception. The server side is based on the Ensemble platform that offers integrated support of push notifications starting from version 2015.1.
Framing refers to the characters that mark the start and end of an HL7 message (or other types of framed messages). Most HL7 services and operations have a Framing setting that allows the user to define this framing. The most common choices are available as defaults, but with the AsciiMM/NN setting, components can be configured to recognize any framing characters.
This short article was motivated by a problem of one of my customers. They use Ensemble to integrate many systems, some of them use just plain files.
So they naturally selected File Outbound Adapter to write into target file. Things were running smoothly for years, until recently, when the volume of data being written to the file reached large size of tens of megabytes. The operation took around half an hour to complete, causing timing problems where subsequent operations within the process had to wait, and third party system was not happy to wait so long.
We are sometimes asked for examples of how to do 3rd party SQL database selects/updates/inserts/stored procedures from an Ensemble SQL Business Operation.
In the attached file there are 4 sample Ensemble Operations that demonstrate four different types of transactions with an external SQL DB:
In Ensemble 2016.3 ‘Java Business Hosts’ provides the means to create new Business Services and Business Operations using Java without need for any ObjectScript coding. There are two major reasons to use this capability:
