#Health Connect

Looking at my database I see I have a very big ^rINDEXSQL global? Why is that? 😬

In the Management Portal SQL page, under "SQL Statements" I see a 'Clean stale' button - what does this do? 🤔

In the list of Statements some have a 'Location' value and some don't? How is that? 🤨

An extension “extends” or enhances a FHIR resource or a data element in a custom way. The extension can be added to the root of a resource, such as “Patient.ethnicity” in US Core profile, and they can be added to individual elements such as HumanName, Address or Identifier.

Did you know that you can also add an extension to a primitive data type?

Primitives usually store a single item and are the most basic element in FHIR. For example: "Keren", false, 1234, 12/08/2024 etc.

I want to extract data from IRIS (Health Share Provider Directory) and write the data out to a file that I can use within an external system. Using EnsLib.SQL.Service.GenericService do I need to supply Credentials if I am querying IRIS locally? I have always used JDBC to connect externally when creating Services and Operations to read/write SQL data from external Databases, but never internally. Normally I would just use sql or code to pull the data within a Process or DTC. But in this case, I want the Service to drive the workflow, and query the data from Local Tables

Using a Workflow Task within HealthShare Provider Directory, when a user clicks on Resubmit message within my Business Process, I check the status of the response. If the response is "Resend Message", I have my Business Process executing the following...

 set tSC = ##class(Ens.MessageHeader).ResendDuplicatedMessage(context.SessionID)
 if $$$ISERR(tSC) $$$LOGSTATUS(tSC)

the context.SessionID is the Session ID of the message as it is being pass thru the Business Process. Does anyone see why that would not work off hand?

I need to read first six characters from the filename we process in healthconnect, then need to insert these six characters in MSH-6 in the same HL7 message. (please note each file can have multiple HL7 messages with multiple MSH segments)

Is something can be done when first process the file, then insert first characters MSH-6?

Please advice if this is an easy fix.

Working on interfaces, trying to add simple email alert (link below) under "Operations"

https://docs.intersystems.com/healthconnect20231/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI…

if the message is good,  health connect processes ok.

if the message has an ERROR, it held up the message in Queue (keep retrying), then subsequent messages held up in the queue as well to be processed. Because of the message held up in Queue, Operation for TCP connection also turning blue.

Please advice.

Hi community,

we recently updated our Health Connect instance from 2021.1 to 2024.1 and also migrated to new hardware. The production environment is connected to an enterprise message bank system.

After going live with the new system we recognized, that enterprise system nodes in the messagebank were automatically created using a hostname for the "Web IP Address" setting, which actually had changed (to the hostname of the former production environment) before starting the production and sending messages. The "Client Nickname" contains the correct hostname.

Hi, Community!

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a way to make Ens.ScheduleHandler alert on error?

Cheers,

Auditing is a critical capability ensuring the security of your server, and for quite a while ago we have included the ability to audit SQL statements run on the server.

With v2024.3 out already we're providing finer-grained options for defining these events to audit.

FastJsonSchema: High-Performance JSON Validation in IRIS

Validating JSON data against JSON Schema is a common requirement for modern applications. FastJsonSchema brings this capability natively to InterSystems IRIS, combining speed, simplicity, and full schema compliance.

Unlike traditional validation approaches, FastJsonSchema generates native ObjectScript code from your JSON Schemas and compiles it directly to iris object code, enabling idiomatic performance without relying on external libraries or runtimes.

Hello,

Are there any utilities/api in HealthConnect 2016.2.1 that will allow conversion of XML virtual document to Json format? We were thinking to convert HL7 ADT message to XML via Ensemble DTL and then send it to another BP to convert to Json format for transmission via Web Services. To my understanding there isn't anyway to represent Json as a virtual object so it can be use for direct mapping of HL7 2.x message to Json via Ensemble DTL.

Thanks

Yuriy

Could someone explain how and why a HL7 ACK be showing up as a Orphaned message when I run the following SQL...
 

SELECT HL7.ID,HL7.DocType,HL7.Envelope,HL7.Identifier,HL7.MessageTypeCategory,HL7.Name,HL7.OriginalDocId,HL7.ParentId, HL7.TimeCreated
FROM EnsLib_HL7.Message HL7
LEFT JOIN Ens.MessageHeader hdr
ON HL7.Id=hdr.MessageBodyId
WHERE hdr.MessageBodyId IS NULL

I am trying to find the problem code that is causing the Orphaned messages, and an ACK showing up seems kind of Odd. While we do have Archive IO/Trace on, and Index NOT OK's set why would they show up as Orphaned messages?

There are a select few in the group that have been using Github as a Local Client push to a Repository setup in GitHub. Questions were brought up today about the security, and possible issues when it comes to data being pushed in this method.

Looking over code we have noticed that there is Histogram data within some of the class files that could be considered a security issue. Does anyone else have concerns with the Histogram data being within the class files pushed up to github?

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?

The Interoperability user interface project has continued from 2025.1 and has incorporated many of the items that you – our customers and partners – have suggested and observed.  We are continuing to invest in feedback and updating this important user experience.   In the latest release, 2025.3 for IRIS, IRIS for Health, Health Connect and Health Connect Cloud, the DTL Editor and Production Configuration applications that are available for opt-in. 
NOTE:

• You can switch between the modernized and standard experiences. 
• All other Interoperability screens remain in the Standard user interface.

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?

Hi community!

I am excited to say that since the beginning of this year we have published many of the client SDKs for InterSystems IRIS, InterSystems IRIS for Health and Health Connect to the corresponding external repositories (Maven, NuGet, npm and PyPI).

Terminal Commands for Production:

• Production Start, Stop, Update, Recover and Clean Production

Do ##class(Ens.Director).StartProduction(“ProductionName”)

Do ##class(Ens.Director).StopProduction()

Do ##class(Ens.Director).UpdateProduction()

Do ##class(Ens.Director).RecoverProduction()

Do ##class(Ens.Director).CleanProduction()

Abort Messages in the queue:

               d ##class(Ens.Queue).AbortQueue(“Component Name”)

Get InstanceName :

              W !,##class(%SYS.System).GetUniqueInstanceName()

Get Node Name:

              W  !,##class(%SYS.System).GetNodeName()

Terminate JobId :

   d $SYSTEM.

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.

Hi,

 I have just installed WebTerminal on my local instance of Health Connect 2025.1, but it does not work and returns a HTTP 401 error.

Can any one help, as I have never installed WebTerminal before?

Has there been any changes in Health Connect to stop it working in version 2025.1?

Thanks.

Neil

When using a EnsLib.RecordMap.Service.FileService business service, is there a way to tell which row number that is being read in? I want to read in a csv, but on the first record, trigger a truncate on the External SQL Table that it is being written to through JDBC.

Thanks

Scott
