#Health Connect

Hi Community,

Watch this video to learn how to use source control for your Health Connect Cloud interface development via the GitLab repository that comes with your deployment.

⏯ Understanding Source Control with Health Connect Cloud

This is probably not the right place, but I don't know who I can reach out to... I am trying to configure an Apache/Web Gateway to our instance of IRIS so we are no longer using the built-in PWS. Can anyone point me in the right direction to configure Apache/Web Gateway to repoint

http://<server name>:52773/... to the https://<server name>/...

gateway so our users will not notice? How do I do this in Apache, do I need to modify httpd.conf or the ssl.conf file? What is the correct syntax...

This is what I tried to do in the httpd.conf file

We are moving away from Delegated Authentication in which I stored a username and password for our LDAP in a GLOBAL to be called by ZAUTHENTICATE.

Is there a way to pull in that GLOBAL into the LDAP Configuration within the Managment Portal instead of having to manually enter it? There seems to be an issue with Copy/Paste that the password isn't being set correctly when I use Copy/Paste.

Else I just export/import the LDAP Configuration from 1 server to another and manually update the Certificate to point to the correct file.

Thanks

Scott

⏯ Configuring Secure File Transfer in Health Connect Cloud

Does the Version of the Web Gateway have to match the version of IRIS that is currently running? Or are they independent of each other since they are different components? I am looking to install the Web Gateway (non-PWS) as we move forward with securing our Management Portal and VS Code connections using TLS.

Thanks

You can find the detailed change lists / upgrade checklists on these pages:

Will it hurt anything if I disable the user that installed IRIS, within IRIS? Does this cause a problem with background processes running or with the restart? I know the _Ensemble user is used to start/stop/restart objects within IRIS, just didn't see anything in the documentation about the user that installed IRIS.

Thanks

I am trying to move us to Securing the Management Portal using Apache and the Web Gateway.

Our Development environment/namespace only has 1 server, but both Test and Production have failover/DR mirroring containing 3 servers for Test, and 3 additional servers for Production. 

• Development - 1 server
• Test -2 server's setup for Failover, and 1 Async DR Mirror
• Production - 2 servers' setup for Failover, and 1 Async DR Mirror

In Test and Production, the mirroring is setup using an Arbiter and the VIP address is controlled at the Hardware level.

Hello,

I have a problem attempting to store a base 64 encode stream into the OBX:5 field of a HL7 message, by using the StoreFieldStreamBase64 method.

I'm using a transformer to input the contents of a pdf within a stream container (Ens.StreamContainer). The output is a HL7 message (EnsLib.HL7.Message 2.5:ORU_R01).

The transformer is being used in a business process.

This is the code used in the transformer to encode the stream to base 64:

Try {
     Set pdfStreamObj = source.StreamGet()
   } Catch {
      Quit
   }

How can we create a random token within HealthConnect?  any examples?

Hi All! For those of you who are users of our cloud services, you may have been introduced to Health Connect Cloud. One topic within that cloud service that can be a little tricky is understanding how GitLab and the source control workflow fit seamlessly into your integration workflow in Health Connect Cloud. I recently presented a lightboard video explaining how this works, including the slightly different workflows for building interfaces via code versus building via the Management Portal UI. If you use Health Connect Cloud, let me know if this is helpful or if you have questions!

I recently started work on trying to Tighten Security in our Development Instance of IRIS that is running based on recommendations from our Audit as you might of seen from my other posts. I am currently trying to get into the Private Web Gateway Manager within IRIS as CSPSystem, but when I attempt to sign in nothing happens. 

I went through and reset the password in the CSP.ini and within IRIS for CSPSystem. I made sure it had the new GatewayRole per suggested 

https://docs.intersystems.com/healthconnect20231/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=GSECURING_tighten#GSECURING_tighten_smp_CSPSysAuthe

I am trying to lock down security within our Development environment per requirements from a Security Audit that was done earlier this year. I need to try to limit access at a public level, access to cache users, and exposure.

I installed IRIS with the Lockdown method, and have configured my web applications, services, resources, etc.

When I go into my namespace, I am constantly presented with the following error when I try to start or stop an Object...

Cannot login as IRIS manager. Please confirm the '_Ensemble' user is enabled and is assigned the '%All' role.

We currently have a couple of Shell scripts we have written to EnableConfigItem from a Unix (Red Hat) command line, so we can control when a Service/Operation is running via the cron in Unix. We do this by calling

:>iris session xxxxx

using _system user.

During our Security audit it was mentioned that we need to lock down some of the cache users. 

• So, has others written scripts to make IRIS calls via command line?
  • If so, what is the consensus of using a Cache user vs using say a LDAP service account?
• Or what have you used in the past to ensure that the password is not hardcoded anywhere?

Hi All! If you have looked into Health Connect Cloud at all, you may know that the cloud-native environment presents a few differences from traditional deployments of InterSystems integrations. If you've taken a classroom course at InterSystems, you may have used "in" and "out" folders in productions to simulate receiving and outputting HL7 messages.

Configuring Secure File Transfer in Health Connect Cloud shows how this is achieved in a cloud environment where you can't simply create an "in" and "out" folder on your local server. Let me know if you have any questions!

⏯ Why Use Multiple Namespaces in Health Connect

My original ZAUTHENTICATE.mac to use Delegated sign on did not include GetCredentials(), however I am being told it probably should have it so I am eliminate an error I am seeing when trying to troubleshoot the ZAUTHENTICATION. I am trying to add the GetCredentials() from the documentation to the existing ZAUTHENTICATE.mac  but I am getting an error

InterSystems has corrected two defects regarding connectivity. These defects and their corrections are independent of each other.

This alert addresses them both because there are point releases containing both corrections.

Both defects only impact versions 2019.1.4 and 2020.1.4 of:

• InterSystems IRIS®
• InterSystems IRIS for Health™
• HealthShare® Health Connect

Neither defect impacts any released version of HealthShare Unified Care Record®, Information Exchange, Health Insight, Patient Index, Provider Directory, Care Community, Personal Community, or Healthcare Action Engine.

Hi Community,

We're pleased to invite you to the upcoming webinar in Hebrew: 

👉 Leveraging Embedded Python in Hebrew 👈

🗓️ Date & time: September 12th, 3:00 PM IDT

Earlier today I enrolled at Cloud Services Portal and clicked "Start trial" for the "Health Connect Cloud" service. Next step was "Create Deployment". The only deployment size offered was "Micro", so I picked that, completed the other required details and clicked "Create".

Response was:

I reported this using the "Submit Feedback" option on the dropdown from my username in the top right of Cloud Services Portal but haven't yet received a response. Hence this DC post, in case someone here can tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Still working on my first External REST API call, and I am struggling to find the exact answer I am looking for... I get a JSON response from my API call but I am not quite sure how to dynamically get the JSON response into the Ens.Response Object with its lists of Arrays that I have defined.

  set tSC = ..Adapter.SendFormDataArray(.tHTTPResposne,"POST",tHTTPRequest,,,tURL)

  set pResponse = ##class(User.REST.Epic.Msg.GetPatientLocationResponse).%New()

  set dynObject = {}.%FromJSON(tHTTPResposne.Data)

  set iter = dynObject.%GetIterator()

  while iter.%GetNext(.key,.value){

Hi Everyone

I'm just wondering if anyone might have a list (or the experience to make a list) of the most often used / useful Reply Code Actions?

In the Help section of Health Connect Management Portal, it lists 

'E=F' and ':?R=RF,:?E=S,:~=S,:?A=C,:*=S,:I?=W,:T?=C'

as the default options, though I'm curious if anyone else has found other codes or strings of codes useful?

Thanks in advance. 

Best wishes

Robert

Currently we are using Delegated Authentication using ZAUTHENTICATE to look at the groups that are associated with a user and if it matches a role within IRIS, to assign the user to that role within IRIS. 

We are noticing some issues with the communication between our Arbiter and our servers. Looking at the following documentation to limit connections, and logging...https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=GHA_mirror_set_config#GHA_mirror_set_agent_port

if I am configuring the ISCAgent on the arbiter, would we set 

application_server.interface_address=<ip_address>

to each IRIS server? Or does this mean to give it a specific NIC IP Address to use for communication? Does the ISCAgent have to be configured separate on each IRIS server?

Is there a way problematically to see what Operations/Services are attached to a EnsLib.JavaGateway.Service and if there are issues with the EnsLib.JavaGateway.Service to stop/start those Services/Operations that might be attached to it?

Thanks

⏯ How to Configure Firewall Rules in Health Connect Cloud

Hello!

I'm currently trying to setup a SFTP Ensemble production to handle all of my SFTP transactions. It's been going well, but I'm currently running into an issue where it is saying it is unable to exchange encryption keys. Error Below:

Unable to exchange encryption keys [80101005] at Session.cpp:238,0' matched ReplyCodeAction 1 : 'E=R' resulting in Action code R

Any advice on getting around this would be appreciated.

Hello,

I have a EnsLib.HL7.Operation.FTPOperation that uses SFTP protocol and public/private key to connect to an external vendor moveitcloud.

Issue: The vendor is planning to enable Multi Factor Authentication for this file transfer account.

Question: Have you configured a SFTP operation to use Multi factor Authentication? If not, is there another way?

Thank you,
