Question Scott Roth · Dec 1, 2025

I am working on building out a Workflow task that captures errors in mapping to specific tables. Within the Workflow task, I would like to give the owner of the task the ability to resubmit message once the mapping has been corrected. Is there a way to do it in a similar fashion to pulling up the Trace ie...

EnsPortal.VisualTrace.zen?SESSIONID=#(%task.%FormValues.GetAt("MsgHdrID"))#" target="_blank">View Message Trace

Is there a one liner that could be called to resubmit the MsgHdrID (Session ID) from its source to post it again?

Question Scott Roth · Nov 25, 2025

I am trying to add validation to a RecordMap, because the source of the data sent file sent us bad data within the file. So, I am using PATTERN to verify certain fields start with Numeric, and Alpha where applicable. When the EnsLib.RecordMap.Service.FTPService runs into an issue it doesn't seem like it continues onto the next record if the record does not meet the validation requirements. 

How can I tell EnsLib.RecordMap.Service.FTPService to log the error and continue onto the next record, so those records that fail are not processed?

I am trying to add some validation to an existing Record Map, because recently we had some wrong data get consumed into the System and is causing all kinds of havoc.

Using the AI on the Developer community it suggested that I use PATTERN within the Datatype Parameters to force some validation on some fields. I have never used PATTERN before...

When I go to generate the updated Record Map, I am getting the following...

By the screenshots is my logic not correct?

Using embedded Python while building your InterSystems-based solution can add very powerful and deep capabilities to your toolbox.

I'd like to share one sample use-case I encountered - enabling a CDC (Change Data Capture) for a mongoDB Collection - capturing those changes, digesting them through an Interoperability flow, and eventually updating an EMR via a REST API.

What is XML?

XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a flexible, text-based, and platform-independent format used to store and transport data in a well-structured way that is both human- and machine-readable. XML permits users to define custom tags to describe the meaning and organization of their data. For example: <book><title>The Hitchhiker's Guide</title></book>.

An XML document is self-descriptive and structured as a hierarchical tree of elements. Every document has a single root element that encapsulates all other content.

For one of our customers I had to integrate with the AFAS imageconnector endpoint /imageconnector/{imageId}?format={format}. This endpoint returns in a json message with the image as a base64-encoded string property, in addition to the mimetype for the image:

High-Performance Message Searching in Health Connect

The Problem

Have you ever tried to do a search in Message Viewer on a busy interface and had the query time out? This can become quite a problem as the amount of data increases. For context, the instance of Health Connect I am working with does roughly 155 million Message Headers per day with 21 day message retention. To try and help with search performance, we extended the built-in SearchTable with commonly used fields in hopes that indexing these fields would result in faster query times. Despite this, we still couldn't get some of these queries to finish at all.

InterSystems ObjectScript extension for VS Code, version 3.0.1

Am also asking this question on the extension's GitHub page: Request textDocument/documentSymbol failed. Error: name must not be falsy · intersystems-community/vscode-objectscript · Discussion #1530 - but suspect more eyes will see it here, which might help gather additional information.

Tried to compile some legacy ObjectScript code via Import/Compile in VS Code using the vscode-objectscript extension. Getting an error, and the content of the file is left changed on the filesystem simply by being compiled.

What is TLS?

TLS, the successor to SSL, stands for Transport Layer Security and provides security (i.e. encryption and authentication) over a TCP/IP connection. If you have ever noticed the "s" on "https" URLs, you have recognized an HTTP connection "secured" by SSL/TLS. In the past, only login/authorization pages on the web would use TLS, but in today's hostile internet environment, best practice indicates that we should secure all connections with TLS.

Why use TLS?

So, why would you implement TLS for HL7 connections?

Overview

This web interface is designed to facilitate the management of Data Lookup Tables via a user-friendly web page. It is particularly useful when your lookup table values are large, dynamic, and frequently changing. By granting end-users controlled access to this web interface (read, write, and delete permissions limited to this page), they can efficiently manage lookup table data according to their needs.

The data managed through this interface can be seamlessly utilized in HealthConnect rules or data transformations, eliminating the need for constant manual monitoring and management of the lookup tables and thereby saving significant time.

Note:
If the standard Data Lookup Table does not meet your mapping requirements, you can create a custom table and adapt this web interface along with its supporting class with minimal modifications. Sample class code is available upon request.

Hi:

I see a lot of cool REST apps and i'm trying to host something in the TIE using REST/Axios with VITE. 

At the moment i will probably host the application in web applications in Intersytems. 

For authorisation and getting the logged in user and password to any app, is there a standard people are doing? 

I.e. for axios you might have this from the app

auth: {
        username: apiUser,
        password: apiPass
      }

But surely you want to pass through credentials from the IRIS logged in user, or alternatively pass the credential request to IRIS API to first receive the data.

To manage the accumulation of production data, InterSystems IRIS enables users to manage the database size by periodically purging the data. This purge can apply to messages, logs, business processes, and managed alerts.

Please check the documentation for more details on the settings of the purge task:
https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=EGMG_purge#EGMG_purge_settings

An issue that many users ran into is still finding old messages after running the purge task for messages. For example, a user has a purge task for messages that has NumberOfDaysToKeep=45.

One of the recommendations when deploying InterSystems Technologies for production is to set up High Availability. The recommended API Manager for these InterSystems Technologies is the InterSystems API Manager (IAM). IAM (essentially Kong Gateway) has multiple deployment topologies.

If you are looking for high availability you could use:

a) Kong Traditional Mode: Multiple Node Clusters

b) Hybrid Mode

c) DB-less Mode

Before we break them down let's first understand the out of the box deployment that is provided by InterSystems: Installing IAM Version 3.10.
