I recently met an ages old issue related to code maintenance:

• You have access to your IRIS server just over ODBC/JDBC
• no VSCode access, no Studio access
• no (Web-)Terminal access

But you need to take a look on Classes or Routines or Globals !!
Anyhow SQL is your friend.

Hi Community,

In this article, I will introduce my application iris-HL7v2Gen .

IRIS-HL7v2Gen is a CSP application that facilitates the dynamic generation of HL7 test messages. This process is essential for testing, debugging, and integrating healthcare data systems. The application allows users to generate a wide variety of HL7 message types, validate their structure against HL7 specifications, explore the message hierarchy, and transmit messages over TCP/IP to production systems. These features are particularly useful in settings where compliance with HL7 standards is mandatory for interoperability between different healthcare organizations or systems.

Application Features

• Dynamic HL7 Message Generation: Instantly create HL7 messages for a range of message types, facilitating comprehensive testing.
• Message Structure Exploration: Visualize the structure of generated messages based on HL7 specifications.
• Value Set Visualization View predefined sets of allowable coded values for specific fields.
• Message Validation: Validate messages against HL7 standards to ensure compliance.
• TCP/IP Communication: Easily transmit messages to production using TCP/IP settings.
• Broad Message Type Support: Supports 184 different HL7 message types, ensuring versatility for various healthcare integration needs.
• ClassMethod: Generate a Test Message by Invoking a Class Method
• Version Support: Currently Supports HL7 Version 2.5

The latest "Bringing Ideas to Reality" InterSystems competition saw me trawling through the ideas portal for UI problems to have a go at.

One of the challenges of creating a DICOM message is how to implement putting data in the correct place. Part of it is by inserting the data in the specific DICOM tags, while the other is to insert binary data such as a picture - In this article I will explain both.

To create a DICOM message, you can either use the EnsLib.DICOM.File class (to create a DICOM file) or the EnsLib.DICOM.Document class (to create a message that can be sent to PACS directly). In either case, the SetValueAt method will allow you to add your data to the DICOM tags.

Mirroring only synchronizes database files.

To synchronize other files required for your application (CSP files, images, documents, etc.) between the two servers that make up the mirror set follow one of the approaches:

1. Place those files on a shared disk by introducing a NAS or similar device
2. Or use file sync software to synchronize files between two servers.

It can be obtained with a List query of the %SYS.Namespace class.

Hi everyone,

In this article, I’m excited to introduce CodeInspector, a tool designed to simplify code validation by applying custom rules tailored to your development requirements. Whether you're managing a large codebase or working in an agile environment, CodeInspector helps ensure code quality by offering flexibility and adaptability to specific project needs.

This story has followed me for more than 20 years.

In the early days of ObjectScript, the volume of $Functions was limited.
You had to write it as part of your program.
But the functionality was often implemented. It just had no name.
To use it, you had "system" calls using $ZU() functions. See Reference

Temporary globals stored in the IRISTEMP/CACHETEMP databases are used when a process does not need to store data indefinitely, but requires the powerful performance of globals. The IRISTEMP/CACHETEMP databases are not journaled, so using temporary globals does not create journal files.

The system uses the IRISTEMP/CACHETEMP databases for temporary storage and are available to users for the same.

If you do not specify the option to remove the mirror attribute of the mirror database when deleting the mirror configuration, the database cannot be restored to a normal state and will be mounted read-only the next time it is mounted. To restore the database to a read-write state, you must remove the mirror attribute using the system routine ^MIRROR.

The procedure is as follows (execute in the %SYS namespace):

An effective source control solution allows organizations to manage complex codebases, facilitate seamless collaboration within development teams, and streamline deployment processes.

Sonic Healthcare, a leading provider of pathology, radiology, general practice, and corporate medical services, has significantly enhanced visibility and control over its complex environment by implementing Deltanji source control. The tight integration Deltanji provides with InterSystems IRIS and IRIS for Health has been central in achieving these improvements.

I found myself in the not-so-comfortable situation of working with a Linux system on which someone had accidentally disabled user access to the Linux shell. HealthConnect was running, servicing hundreds of interfaces. To resolve the access issue, though, we needed to bring the host down for the application of a fix.

Without the shell, the iris command is not available to control the instance, so we were faced with the potential of shutting down the server ungracefully. We wanted to avoid that if possible ...

$ZTIMESTAMP returns the date and time in UTC format, so to change it to the local time zone, use the following system method:

$SYSTEM.Util.UTCtoLocalWithZTIMEZONE($ZTIMESTAMP)

The above output will be in the format ddddd,sssss.fff.

You can use the List query of the %SYS.Audit to output audit logs programmatically.
