#Ensemble

We heard from a customer who wanted to display a version number as a read-only production setting. During the build on the build server, this version number is added to the Production class. This works fine, and the Version is displayed in the Portal, but the customer wanted to write protect it, so the enduser can’t change it.

This post is intended to share how we have implemented HL7 v.2.x in XML format in several Ensemble projects.

We have added to our local InterSystems Iberia GitHub repository a package which uses an approach that takes advantage of EnsLib.HL7.Message class.

Is it seconds or what?  The default is 15  

Do to unforseen circumstances the Atelier build that was distributed with the Cache 2016.2 field test had certain incompatibilites which prevented it's effective use with the server that it was bundled with.

We are working on remediating this regretable situation and will provide a compatible Atelier in the 2016.2 field test refresh which is scheduled for today Monday, 1st of Februrary.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience so caused.

I'm designing a workflow for PHR via FTP.  What I've done is create a single FTP adapter to pick up files from multiple customers.  A router then accesses a lookup table and determines if a particular customer is allowed to send a particular message type to the state.  If not, the message doesn't go out.  It seems like everyone is against this approach (other than my CEO, thankfully), including Intersystems:

Hi, 

is it possible to integrate a csp file as the default page in the IIS 7?

I want reach http://localhost/csp/sys/UtilHome.csp over http://localhost/

Bill McCormick wrote in the GoogleGroup 

"There was a known problem with this in the 5.0 release and has been 

fixed. It will never work out of the box. You have to define a CSP 

application of the name "/" - the config manager used to invalidate this 

but putting it in the cpf worked - I forget if that is fixed or not. 

After that it should all just work. Feel free to log an issue with 

support if it still fails in anyway.

I am pleased to announce the next in the series of 2016.2 field test kits, 2016.2.0.585.0.

In the two weeks since the last field test posting Development has made over a hundred fixes and improvements in Atelier, Enterprise Manager, Ensemble and Caché.

In Atelier alone there were over a dozen changes including a fix for the incompatibility issue that Jamie Newton described in his posting of February 1.

Is there a recommended way to deal with the unattended reboot that happens when Windows Updates are applied?  These reboots cause issues with running Ensemble produtions.

Hi!

Is there any simple way to query data about processed messages in all Ensemble productions?

What I ultimately would like to do is to periodically export that data to another system and run statistics on it.

I've been digging around in the SQL tables view and Ens.MessageHeader seems to contain most of what I'm after.

Using ODBC I could access that table view and query data, but only for one namespace per DSN it seems.

Can Ens.MessageHeader from different namespaces be mapped into a single namespace so that it can be accessed with ODBC?

InterSystems will support this Operating System version with Caché and Ensemble 2016.1.

This is a nice introductory explanation of MQTT that I thought would be of general interest. The technology used for the broker in this case is not that important as there are several brokers available.

At global summit we will be demonstrating ways to use MQTT with Ensemble to get information from the Internet of Things into your enterprise applications and business processes,

In some project, I found the need to use SMIME format https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3851.txt, basically is an standard used to wrap a message together with its signature using a certificate (usually X509). Ensemble don't have a single class to do that but inside the Ensemble installation we have the openssl utility, so in this example I use the "openssl smime" command to sign or verify a message.

The example has two Business Process that able to sign or verify and in order to test I made a simple production.

Hope this helps

Announcing Deltanji 6.0, the latest version of the well-respected George James Software source control product formerly known as VC/m.

Deltanji comes in four editions, including Solo which is quick to install on Caché or Ensemble (2009.1 or later), easy to get started with, and perpetually free.

Deltanji runs within the environment whose code it is managing, integrating closely with Studio and Portal, and storing code versions in a CACHE.DAT database.

Please visit http://georgejames.com/deltanji to learn more and download the software.

So calling this lookup manually from the console works as expected:

However, calling it from a method with some concatination to build the key is giving me problems:

I'm working on some custom utility functions that I can utilize in Business Rules as well as other places.  I saw this line in the docs:

For each function you wish to define, add a class method to your new function set class. There is no support for polymorphism, so to be precise, you must mark these class methods as final.

 but I didn't really know what it meant.  I didn't run into any problems until I tried calling one of my new methods from another method.  Removing the [ Final ] fixed the issue, but I'm guessing that means I can't call them from Business Rules now?

I have a routing rule that processes messages from multiple customers. I would like to create some sort of flag or setting that I can toggle to indicate if a given customer is allowed to pass messages through the router. Should I use a registry entry, lookup table or something else? Which can be accessed from a routing rule and how?

Hi,

In an Ensemble message bus that has a Business Service which extends EnsLib.SOAP.Service, I have the option to support SOAP Sessions by setting the parameter SOAPSESSION=1.

The comments says this also effects license consumption.

In what way  is license consumption effected ?

note this is version 2015.1, Ensemble Elite (without Web-AddOn).

thanks -

Hi!

We need to use a bash script under Linux in order to export a namespace's clases (*.cls), project (*.prj), *.inc and all related stuff (except generated and mapped clases). All these elements must be stored on a XML file.

We need to use a bash script under Linux to import and compile previously exported XML file (from Studio, Management Portal, or Export Script) .

Can anyone help us to develop them?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Does someone have experience with ISO-8385 transactions and Ensemble?

ISO-8385 is used for credit card transactions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8583

Thanks

A client stated to me that they are trying to eliminate SMTP servers from their network and want all email to be sent through their Microsoft Exchange Server.  Admittedly I am not very knowledgable of the workings of Exchange Server.

Are there customers sending email notifications through Exchange Server?  How is this accomplished?  Does Exchange Server act as a SMTP server allowing use of the Email adapter or is there some other mechanism that must be used to communicate with a Microsoft Exchange Server?

I have had a few questions about the number of HL7 messages Ensemble can handle lately, so i thought i would draw people's attention to the benchmark report

https://community.intersystems.com/documentation/ensemble-and-healthshare-hl7v2-message-throughput-0

It describes the throughput of HL7 messages with realistic messages and routing.

Hello-

I am working on an Ensemble demonstration that involves workflow.  Over the course of testing I have cleared out the Ensemble message store several times.  This has left several workflow tasks that no longer can be assigned, accepted or rejected.

How do I clear the Workflow Tasklist which is found by going to Ensemble -> Manage -> Workflow -> Workflow Tasks in the Ensemble Management Portal?

Thanks in advance

Introduction

This document is intended to provide a survey of various High Availability (HA) strategies that can be used in conjunction with InterSystems Caché, Ensemble, and HealthShare Foundation. This document also provides an overview of the various types of system outages that can occur, as well as how each strategy would handle a given outage, with the goal of helping you choose the right strategy for your specific deployment.

Executive Summary

InterSystems HealthShareÆ and InterSystems EnsembleÆ both provide a rapid integration and development platform with built-in capabilities for the high-speed processing of HL7 messages. For the purposes of HL7 v2 message routing the two products are equivalent in performance. For brevity, this document will just say Ensemble in many places but it should be taken to apply equally to both products.

We have recently completed a performance and scalability benchmark of Ensemble version 2015.1, focusing on HL7 version 2 messaging.

Introduction

Software services, in a service-oriented architecture (SOA), can be used again and again in many different business processes, making for a very flexible, efficient, and vibrant business and information technology infrastructure. Providing, of course, that IT has the right platform in place for modeling business processes and implementing the SOA. Using the InterSystems Ensemble product as an example, this paper examines two key technologies that are absolutely essential for successful SOA implementation, but missing from most SOA development platforms.

Introduction

In healthcare, the outcome of a life-or-death decision can depend on the available information. To help deliver the right information at the right time and place, healthcare organizations traditionally have used HL7 interface engines to share data among clinical applications.

But the world of healthcare information technology is changing so rapidly thatHL7 interface engines are no longer sufficient. The technology landscape now includes new protocols and architectures, and the business environment has changed as well.

What is Integration

Integration of enterprise applications and data to simplify and automate business processes has become an important focus for many CIOs. It refers to both the tasks of integrating data and applications, as well as to software products that provide integration frameworks and associated tools. Integration enables the sharing of data and business functions across applications.Integration has become popular because most traditional enterprise applications were custom built to address a specific business need.

A business case for the transition from eGate to InterSystems EnsembleÆ From interface engine to integration platform Healthcare IT is evolving so rapidly that the term "HL7 interface engine" may soon become extinct.
