InterSystems has corrected a defect that can cause shadowing to fail with an access violation. In rare cases, the defect can cause memory corruption, leading to unpredictable behavior.
Note: The defect does not affect mirroring.
This defect affects:
I would like to control multiple 'services' in Ensemble.
I would like the ability to switch them off and on.
My plan is to achieve this in a Cache class using ObjectScript.
Is this possible?
Any tips, starting points would be gratefully received.
Many thanks.,
does Health Connect have an out of box setting to send some type of "Keep Alive" packet? This is for a TCP connection. I have a vendor that will disconnect from the engine if there is a 2 hour idle time. would like to send something across every hour (if its idle) to prevent the disconnection. I'm assuming this may be something custom that needs to be created, but thought I asked the community first.
InterSystems has corrected several critical defects that can result in data integrity issues. These defects were identified and corrected within a short time, so InterSystems has simplified the upgrade process by consolidating them into a single package. The effects of encountering these defects may not always be visible. These defects affect InterSystems IRIS, IRIS for Health, Health Connect, Caché, Ensemble, and HealthShare products. All of these defects relate to the application of journal data.
InterSystems recommends that you review this document.

Hi there
I've noticed extreme slowness using the portal in my Healthconnect dev enviroment lately.
Any page in the Portal takes a lot of time Loading.
Any ideas of what it could be?
Kind Regards,

Looking at the DTL, we can pretty much understand what the provided mapping from FHIR to SDA3.
But, is there any Intersystems document, where the mapping To/From FHIR is documented, at least FHIR to SDA3 ?
Hi,
What is a Foundation Production and what does it do?
We are currently on HealthShare Health Connect 15.03 and we are starting the process of moving to HealthShare Health Connect 2019.1.
The 2019.1 Installation Guide is pretty clear that it is essential, but I'm having trouble working out exactly what it does?
Leading on from this is what should I call it?
From the installation guide:
5. For Local Name, enter the name that will identify the Foundation production.
I'm a beginner using HealthConnect. Trying to bring in a CCD and transform it to a HL7 messages. Is there any documentation on how to accomplish this? thanks!
InterSystems has corrected a defect in applications that use Unicode character 223 (ß). This defect can result in incomplete query results, class compilation errors, and removal of custom SQL privileges.
This problem occurs on systems that are running or have previously run on:
The defect is triggered by data and component names containing Unicode character 223 (ß). In the versions listed above, an uppercase conversion incorrectly maps that character to Unicode character 7838 (ẞ). Applications perform this uppercase conversion using features such as $ZCONVERT and %SQLUPPER.
Problems can occur when accessing data or classes created or modified on a product with a different uppercase conversion than the one currently in use.
InterSystems has corrected a defect that could lead to invalid backups on Windows platforms. The defect causes upgrades to disable the EnableVSSBackup setting. By default, EnableVSSBackup is enabled (value set to 1) and the upgrade sets its value to 0. Windows VSS backups taken with this setting disabled may contain invalid CACHE.DAT files.
This problem is limited to Windows platforms on the following versions:
The defect only occurs if you are upgrading to a version listed above. Once you have upgraded to an affected version, you must manually enable the setting; otherwise, it will be disabled on future upgrades, even when upgrading to versions containing the correction.
For customers using Windows VSS backups, InterSystems recommends enabling this setting on any 2018.1 instances of Caché or Ensemble. Once you have enabled the setting, future upgrades (including to affected versions) will preserve its value.
Can health Connect create a file in a directory, than add data (HL7 messages) to it?

Currently we are using Health Share 2015.2.2, and looking to upgrade to the latest version in the next month.
From what I understand we have to upgrade to 2017 or 2018 prior to going to 2019.1 since 2019.1 is on the IRIS platform.
In trying to outline my steps in the upgrade process I came up with a question.
Has anyone had experience with this? or should I open a ticket with WRC?
I am trying to work through our upgrading steps from 2015.2.2 to Health Connect 2019.1. Is there a place online I can access previous versions of Health Connect documentation? I am specifically looking for Health Connect 2018.1.2 documentation so I can understand the upgrade process on AIX.
Thanks

Hello All.
In need of some help.
We are currently migrating Interfaces from JCAPS to HealthConnect 19.1 and have done a lot of work on our Dev server. I am looking to copy/export this work over to the Test server and have managed to export the production and Rules, HL7 custom Schemas etc. The only thing left now are the Data Transformations but so far I can only find ways of copying the transformations over individually. Is there some way to copy all of the transformations we have produced in our namespace to another server in one go?
Thanks
This is embarrassing. I should know how to do this but I have forgotten.
I know the slowness of the 'Source' and 'Target' parameters in Message message viewer being slow to load is caused by the Bitmap indices of Ens.MessageHeader.
I know I need to run the 'bitmap index clean up' routine for Ens.MessageHeader to fixed the issue.
What I forget is how to do this?

Any advice or suggestions appreciated.

InterSystems has corrected a memory leak in applications that pass by reference to a formal parameter that accepts a variable number of arguments.
This problem exists for:
If this defect occurs, the process partition will eventually be exhausted, resulting in a <STORE> error.
Hi,
Is there any facility in Health Connect to notify us before a SSL/TLS security certificate expires?
I'd be interested in how other teams handle this as we are using TLS/SSL a lot more to integrate with external services.
Kind regards,

I'm a beginner with Health connect. Trying to create a bi-directional interface. is there a specific class I should use on the business operations/services?
Hello,
When creating an outbound X12 file (834, 835, 837, etc), what's the easiest way to keep a segment count to use in the SE01 element? Other mapping tools I've used either detect it's an X12 file and do this automatically, or there's an option to keep a count after each outputted segment. The Data Transformation tool within Health Connect doesn't seem to have similar functionality, but I could just be missing something. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Jason
InterSystems has corrected a defect that can result in application data integrity issues following an abnormal shutdown.
This problem exists for:
The defect breaks the journal sync guarantee that all updates in the journal buffer have been written to the journal file. The failure is silent: it does not generate an error message and there is no entry about it in any log file.
I'm looking to see there is a way to create a holding queue in Ensemble. I have a ORM message that is coming into the Engine. I want to convert that message into a ADT^A04. Then send the ADT first and the Original ORM message behind it. How can I hold the Original ORM before I send the ADT message before it?
I use rest service on Health Connect and will has utilized HL7 FHIR for get information of external database. But i don't find exemplo in oficial documentation.
Someone to utilize the HL7 FHIR for info request in to external database?

Hi There ,
We are trying to do a small POC trying to integrate NHS Careconnect with Ensemble/Healthconnect. Does anyone have implemented this before. It would be good that you provide some suggestions or any sample implementation. It would be good to get suggestions any interesting use cases
within NHS England for the POC.

Upgrades - Health Connect 2019.
I'm looking for options to create multiple DFT HL7 messages based on data contained in a ZCO segment in a single inbound DFT message. I have the following ZCO segment:
ZCO|CCC^Charge Code|1306794,1071301,23510,1071424|MFCD^Charge Code|14232,3542|||||
In this example, I need to create a new DFT message based on the data contained in ZCO:2. Each code needs to be in it's own DFT message and put in FT1:7.1. The number of codes will vary for each inbound message, but each code will need to create its own outbound message to the client.
