#Health Connect

I seem to remember making this work before, but I'm not having any luck digging up examples.

I've defined some custom properties for a business operation that could definitely benefit from having popup descriptions available in the Production Configuration. I have triple-slash comments before each property that do just that in the source. I thought those provided the text for the popup descriptions when clicking on the property name, but apparently not.

Any thoughts?

I am seeking work with InterSystems HealthConnect.  My experience is working with Rules and DTLs, plus message search, and export of components.
I have actively developed and supported HL7 V2.x interfaces.

I reside in Massachusetts.  Open to full-time or contract roles, either local or remote.

My last assignment ended in June and I am again in job search.
Seeking positions that need experience in HealthConnect, modifying Rules and DTLs.

My background is in HL7 interface development and support.

Located in the greater Boston area, open to remote or hybrid as well.

Hi noble devs!

Just building a simple frontend->JSON->IRIS backend story, and figured that IRIS while importing via %JSON.Adaptor wants JSON fields to match property names, meaning even should match the case. Like:

{ name: "John", 

surname: "Doe"}

will have issues while saving the dynamic object to a class Sample.Person with:

Class Sample.Person Extends (%Persistent, %JSON.Adaptor)

{

Property Name: %Sting;Property Surname: %String;
}

As soon as the case is not the same...

Hi Community,

Watch this video to learn how to leverage available mechanisms to simplify mirroring for HealthShare Health Connect:  

⏯ HealthShare Health Connect Mirroring Simplified @ Global Summit 2024

My HL7 message got "AR" (rejected ack code) and went to the suspended queue.  I re-submitted it (without editing it) but forgot to write down the details before doing so.  It got "AA" and everything works fine from there.

Now (the next day) I want to check with the downstream system why they returned "AR" initially.  Is there a way to search for the original message the got an "AR", along with any returned error message please?

Thanks

Hello, This probably easy but I can't seem to figure it out. I need to send the first and last name of nurses to one segment target. How do I do this? 

EVN 5.2 and EVN 5.3 needs to = One target segment

Hi ISC Experts,

I'm in the process of setting up InterSystems IRIS for HealthShare with database mirroring, and I’d appreciate some guidance around how to handle an existing ODBC connection in this new setup.

Scenario:

I have an application that is requires an Encoded HL7 message sent over SOAP over HTTPS using SSL/TLS... the Response that is return is also encoded, which I know how to Decode but not sure when I Decode the response how to Extract the HL7 message to send back to the router.

How do I capture the Routing Source System and parse the encoded message back into an HL7 format that would show on the trace viewer?

Below is an example...where I get the response and want to send it back to FeederScottRouting as an HL7 message that can be tied to the Parent ID of the sending request message?

We have a vendor that is requiring that the HL7 sent to them is sent as an Encoded message inside a SOAP request but is sending back an HL7 message as the response. 

When the WSDL built the response, it was expecting an encoded message back. I updated the Request and Business Operation to expect an EnsLib.HL7.Message, however I am not sure how to handle the HL7 ACK to post it back to the sending message so it will not cause an Orphan message, and to parse it back correctly in the trace viewer.

When I do a $$$LOGINFO on the pResponse, I get back...

I am having issues trying to send SOAP requests to a Cloud Based AWS Application that lives outside of our network. 

It is using a Basic Authentication, Key, Certificate Authority and Whitelist for Security. 

If I attempt the connection using wget from the command line I am able to connect,

InterSystems has released new point updates to resolve a defect affecting the most recent prior versions of 2025.1.0, 2024.1.4, 2023.1.6, and 2022.1.7, for the following supported product lines:

• InterSystems IRIS
• InterSystems IRIS for Health
• HealthShare Health Connect

This issue could result in unexpected <PROTECT> errors or access anomalies when using features such as:

• Implied namespaces
• Mixed read-only/read-write access to databases
• Management Portal pages for listing routines and globals

Symptoms Included:

For those that use IRIS for Health, HealthShare, and or Health Connect...

As Health Applications are moving to the Cloud, how have you handled communication from the Application to your instances via HTTPS?

Trying to figure out the best path on designing the proper workflow to allow these messages to be allowed to be eventually sent to our EMR to post to the patient chart.

We are very wary of opening a connection from the internet to our instance of Health Connect.

Thanks

I am having a hard time trying to figure out the following...

Within a DTC, I was able to take the a EnsLib.HL7.Message source and using

set a= $System.Encryption.Base64Encode(source.RawContent)
set encodedMessage=$Get(a)

to take the HL7 message encode it and add it to the Data Class as a string to be sent to an Operation to be sent out as a SOAP Request. 

However to make it more universal I tried doing this within a copy of EnsLib.HL7.SOAPOperation

I have created a New Database/Namespace within our TEST environment on both the Primary and Backup of the mirror. When I go to create the database/namespace on the DR node I am getting "Cannot open file '/ensemble/TEST/iris.cpf_...." while the cpf file that it references does not exist. Anyone have any clue to why this might be happening?

Hi,

While HL7 Errors ACKs come back in the soap response, the HL7v2 Error ACK message is not processed. 

I used the SOAP Wizard to construct my classes, but the generated code doesn't handle the HL7v2 ACK.
Does health Connect have a class that handles this?

Failing an official solution should I go ahead and make make my own classes based on EnsLib.HL7.Operation.TCPOperation, but wrapping it with the generated SOAP handling code.

How have others dealt with this?

good afternoon!

I was trying to set up the "File Spec" to match the exact filename that will be in the file path.

however, it seemed grab whatever the name of the file and work on it.

wondering how I can specific the exact filename in "File Spec" so that It wont touch other files in the same path?

Summary

Hi Community,
i'm trying to figure out how to pass a string to a routine from Powershell:
 

####

ROUTINE ImplUtil

Say(pSomething = "hello, i'm the ROUTINE") public{
    w !,pSomething,!
}

####

call: irissession healthconnect -U user 'Say^ImplUtil(12345)'

what's the right way to pass in text?

Is there a way in a EnsLib.SQL.InboundAdpapter that you can tell when you have reached the end of the Results of the Query?

Does anyone have a query that I could run to show a Vendor the time difference between when a message was sent out a BO, and when we received the HL7 ACK back that is associated with the message sent?

I am trying to prove to this vendor of the delay we are seeing getting the ACK back because of a Timeout

I know how to pull Ens.MessageHeader, and EnsLib.HL7.Message but not sure how to match up the Message with the HL7 Acknowledgement received.

We're planning to use Production Validator for validating our system upgrade (2016.2.3 to 2024.2) , and we are trying to understand what kind of benchmarking or performance metrics others have observed during similar efforts.

Specifically, we are looking for a case study or real-world example that includes details like:

• How many messages were validated?
• How long did it take to create the temporary database from the source system?
• How long did it take to run the comparison on the destination system?

I am attempting to failover my TEST environment to the Backup, and I keep getting an error stating that 

06/01/25-18:47:54:516 (11864) 1 [Utility.Event] Primary startup failed, failed to read header of /archive/journal/MIRROR-IRISTEST-20250513.007 (file #63653)

however, when I go to /archive/journal/, I am not finding any record of MIRROR-IRISTEST-20250513.007 (file #63653)

to get out of this error message I have to restart what was the Primary and restart the Backup to get it back into a state that we can use it. 

We are attempting to setup an EnsLib.SOAP.OutboundAdapter to send an HL7 message to a vendor hosted AWS site. We have the Certificate from the vendor and defined the TLS setting. However, when we are sending the message we are receiving...
