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:

Hi all,

My team is exploring options for handling timezone offsets in DTL and we’re wondering if there are any built-in methods available — ideally low-code or no-code solutions. Specifically, we're looking for a way to adjust timestamps based on the date and whether Daylight Saving Time (DST) is in effect.

For example, if an HL7 message has an MSH-7 value of 20250518144529, it should be converted to 20250518144529-0500 (Central Daylight Time), but if the timestamp were 20250218144529, it should be 20250218144529-0600 (Central Standard Time).

Hi Guys,

How can I send JSON with HTTP post request?
Thanks

I need to create a task to read the contents of file in an IRIS file system and store it in Persistent DB. What is the type of property thats defined in the Task that lets user select the input directory.

Hello Community,

When I run the following code with x undefined in terminal, it throws a syntax error and returns control to the program stack. After issuing a GO command, execution continues, and setting the global variable ^zz1.

code 1:

test.mac
if$Data(@x@(a,b,c)) {
    set^zz1=1212
}
write !,1212,!
////orif$Data(@x@(a,b,c)) set^zz1=1212write !,1212,!

 if I assign the result of $D(@x@(a,b,c)) to a local variable like d using set d=$D(@x@(a,b,c)), and then use if d { ... }, the code fails(global is not set) working as expected.

Code 2

WSDL for a CDC vendor was provided with a URL using a custom socket (non 443). Everything generated fine, but when making calls to their https:// URL that has their custom port in the URL - no response comes back. The assumption is, their server isn't even processing the request, as Postman does using the custom https://path.to.server:NNNN port in the URL.

As part of a process to generate FHIR XML bundles from HL7 messages, I have a subtransform transforming segments of an MDM_T02 message into a section of XML (EnsLib.EDI.XML.Document). So far this has worked well although I've encountered strange behaviour when making use of an xmlns attribute, whereby the attribute's name is duplicated despite the schema and DTL editor displaying it correctly.

Here's a snippet of the div.xmlns definition from the XSD schema used

Has anyone else encountered this? Any help is much appreciated

Hi group,

I am trying to take the InterSystems HL7 Interface Specialist certificate test. 

So is this an open book test? is there any Lab involved with vm?  I did the search but I am not able to find such information.

I am trying to find out more information before I actually take the test.

Thank you

It helps to remove special characters, such as non-utf-8 characters either control characters or unicode characters from text that is not printable or can't be parsed by downstream systems.

There is also $C(32) in this condition; sometimes NBSP appears in the text and it will not be recognized by TIE, but downstream it displays as "?".

In order to avoid the NBSP issue, the if condition is replaced with a space in order to prevent the error.

Unicode characters only Remove:

We have classes in a Production environment that are causing us some issues - example attached.

When we export them from the production environment the XML contains a snippet like the following:

<UDLText name="T">
<Content><![CDATA[
//Property any As list Of %XML.String(XMLNAME = "any", XMLPROJECTION = "ANY") [ SqlFieldName = _any ];

]]></Content>
</UDLText>

When imported and compiled into an Ensemble instance this class works as expected.

When viewed/edited in a development environment we run into issues - the presentation is similar with both Studio and VS Code.

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.

Has anybody tried to extend the Menu on Management Portal? I like to add a new page or a dashboard that will be created soon to the Management Portal and allow others to use it also. I understand there are risks that I could lose things during an upgrade. I am okay with that. Does InterSystems support such an effort?

I need a DTL to handle this.

Any ideas appreciated.

For all Prosthetics orders:
when ORC-1(Order Control) is "NW" (New Order), need to update OBR-18(Placer Field 1) based on PV1-2 (Patient Class) value.
assumption is that the selection logic is that all prosthetics orders with OBR-18 field is always blank.
Description :
If PV1-2 is I, insert I in OBR-18
If PV1-2 is O, insert O in OBR-18
If PV1-2 is E, insert O in OBR-18
If PV1-2 is P, insert O in OBR-18
If PV1-2 is R, insert O in OBR-18
If PV1-2 is B, insert O in OBR-18

New at DTL. I need some pointers on this DTL

Hi all,

I can't find the list of business host setting sections and (crucially) how to refer to them in the SETTINGS parameter, as marked in purple here:

Parameter SETTINGS = "MySetting:Basic";

Does anyone know where this list lives?

I added extra OBX segments and I need to renumber OBX 4 so they are sequential.

Dear Community,

I need to collect a file from an FTP server over FTPS.

I have the :

• credentials saved correctly
• correct host and port informatoin
• correct filepath I am trying to collect from
• I have setup the SSL configuration in  System > Security Management > SSL/TLS Configurations and this tests sucessfully

When I run the business service to connect it connects, but soon after connecting it fails to open the directory:

Hello 

We are pretty new to Ensemble and we are considering on using a default setup for our production. Let me explain the situation. We have one sender that sends HL7 ADT messages to our system. We have 60+ other systems that need to recieve ADT messages. We where thinking on a few ways on how to do the setup.

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a DTL that transforms an HL7 message (EnsLib.HL7.Message) to an XML document (EnsLib.EDI.XML.Document).

The target XML is based on a custom schema and has an element like:

<xs:element name="deceasedDateTime" type="xs:dateTime" nillable="true"/>

What I need is for the output to show:

<deceasedDateTime xsi:nil="true"/> when the source HL7 value is empty, for eg: 

<portalPatientUpdate xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <deceasedDateTime xsi:nil="true" />
</portalPatientUpdate>

My questions:

Introduction

If you're solving complex problems in ObjectScript, you probably have a lot of code that works with %Status values. If you have interacted with persistent classes from an object perspective (%Save, %OpenId, etc.), you have almost certainly seen them. A %Status provides a wrapper around a localizable error message in InterSystems' platforms. An OK status ($$$OK) is just equal to 1, whereas a bad status ($$$ERROR(errorcode,arguments...)) is represented as a 0 followed by a space followed by a $ListBuild list with structured information about the error. $System.Status (see class reference) provides several handy APIs for working with %Status values; the class reference is helpful and I won't bother duplicating it here. There have been a few other useful articles/questions on the topic as well (see links at the end). My focus in this article will be on a few debugging tricks techniques rather than coding best practices (again, if you're looking for those, see links at the end).

Hey everyone.

I'm currently looking at a process where we're utilising the Class Ens.StreamContainer, and was looking to do some deletions outside of any purge routines.

Having been burned before, I wanted to make sure that deleting the container also deletes the contents within.

From looking in the class, the  %OnDelete ClassMethod appears to be removing an index from a search table and nothing more.

Am I looking in the right place, or is there a extended class for Ens.StreamContainer that does in fact delete the %Stream.Object
contained within the Ens.StreamContainer?

I need to add an extra blank OBX segment after a segment containing text, Total Cost:

I get the OBX segment but it is in incorrect location.

It should be after the line containing Total Cost:

It needs to contain:

OBX|1|TX|2000.02^REASON FOR REQUEST^AS4|

I am receiving the garbled text due to incorrect encoding or decoding. I tried to use the $zconvert function to convert it into the normal text but failed to do that. Can anybody suggest what I have to use to convert that into normal text?

Example: Garbled text that I am getting is "canââ¬â¢t , theyââ¬â¢re".

how can I get the classMethod name ?
like we get class name using "$CLASSNAME($THIS)", same way I need class Method ?

I need to generate a DDL file from a .cls class that already exists, the idea is to create a mirror table in SQL. Is it possible to do this export or do I need to do the CREATE TABLE manually?
