#Health Connect

I am trying to help another group within our organization access a SQL Table that I have created to populate Epic Department Data within our environment and came across the ability to use SQL Seach REST Interface using iKnow.

However, I am having issues trying to get it to work via POSTMAN before I hand off the solution...

the POST URL... https://<servername>/api/iKnow/latest/TESTCLIN/table/osuwmc_Epic_Clarity.DepartmentMaster/search

where osuwmc_Epic_Clarity.DepartmentMaster is the table

We have a task that runs objectscript code to load data into a linked external table.  After upgrading from 2024.1 to 2025.1, the load is throwing an error, with error code -400, and no error message.  The data DOES get loaded into the external table in its entirety, so with no meaningful error message, its hard to determine what the issue is.  The result is the same with and without the USING clause, so don't let that confuse you.

I created a Custom Search Table that extends EnsLib.HL7.Search Table. I saved, compiled, and rebuilt the index however when I go into Message Search to try to use the Search Table, within the conditions the proper fields are not showing up that was defined. It is showing the fields from EnsLib.HL7.SearchTable. I did a build index on both EnsLib.HL7.SearchTable and OSU.HL7.SearchTable.

Class OSU.HL7.SearchTable Extends EnsLib.HL7.SearchTable
{

Parameter DOCCLASS = "EnsLib.HL7.Message";

Parameter EXTENTSIZE = 4000000;

XData SearchSpec [ XMLNamespace = "http://www.intersystems.

Managed Cloud Solutions to Help Streamline Your Health Services.

This demo showcases composing several InterSystems Managed Cloud Services to solve various use-cases.

The video is actually built of 6 short chapters (each ~2.5 minutes long) showing each part of the story, demoing a different service.

You can watch each "chapter" individually if you're interested in a specific service, but there is value in viewing the whole composition and observing the full flow.

Hi-  I have a HL7 message ADT_A01 (Admit) that contains several Z segments, which don't necessarily all appear at the end of the document, like normal.  See below...

Build 2025.1.0.1.24372U.f00326d.

Overview

This release delivers expanded Azure support for InterSystems Data Studio, enhanced subscription flexibility, major module updates, and multiple improvements to networking, security, and API responsiveness.

New Features and Enhancements

This article outlines the process of utilizing the renowned Jaeger solution for tracing InterSystems IRIS applications. Jaeger is an open-source product for tracking and identifying issues, especially in distributed and microservices environments. This tracing backend that emerged at Uber in 2015 was inspired by Google's Dapper and Twitter's OpenZipkin. It later joined the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) as an incubating project in 2017, achieving graduated status in 2019. This guide will demonstrate how to operate the containerized Jaeger solution integrated with IRIS.

Been testing out the Production Validator toolkit, just to see what we can/not do with it. Seems really interesting and there seem to be some use cases for it that can really streamline some upgrades (or at least parts of upgrades) but I was running into so many hurdles with the documentation. I am curious if anyone else has used it.
Did you experience any issues getting it working? Any clarification that you would have liked in the documentation? any use cases that you worked through that made it particularly valuable? etc?

Hi Everyone,
Please suggest/share best practices and sample questions that would help me to secure InterSystems HL7 specialist Certification.

What is the minimum version to use the DTL AI Generator

Hi all,

I’m working on a data transformation in IRIS where I need to calculate the difference in hours between two timestamps stored as %TimeStamp.

Example:

Set startTime = "2024-07-12 08:30:00"
Set endTime = "2024-07-12 15:15:00"

I’d like to calculate the number of hours (with decimals, like 6.75) between them. What's the recommended way to do this in ObjectScript? I’ve seen examples using $ZDATETIME, but I’m not sure if that’s the cleanest approach.

Any suggestions or best practices would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Jhonn Marie

Good morning everyone,
In the facility we're working in, we have two separate installations for testing and production. In the test environment, we have production processes running properly, and we need to replicate production processes and settings in the production environment. Until now, when we move from a test environment to a production environment, we currently export the test classes, import them into production, and manually configure the production environment by connecting Services, Processes, and Operations and configuring the settings.

The 2025.1.1 maintenance releases of InterSystems IRIS^® data platform,InterSystems IRIS^® for Health^TM, and HealthShare^® Health Connect are now Generally Available (GA). Please share your feedback through the Developer Community so we can build a better product together.

Documentation

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

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

There are many EAPs available now. Check out this page and register to those you are interested.

How to get the software?

InterSystems is pleased to announce the General Availability (GA) of the 2025.2 release of InterSystems IRIS® data platform. This is a Continuous Delivery (CD) release. Please note that the GA versions of InterSystems IRIS for Health™ and HealthShare® Health Connect™ 2025.2 are currently withheld due to mirroring limitations introduced by security updates (details below).

Release Highlights

This release introduces impactful enhancements across security, developer experience, operations, and interoperability. Notable new features include:

1.

As foreign tables are behind a paywall (booo); we have a external cache system using the intersystems ODBC driver or usually a .jar CacheDB.jar. 

The requirement is :

"Create a copy of the external table once a day to perform comparisons to detect changes"

We could go full code and this is what we will do but trying the following should ideally work 

CREATE TABLE Sample.YoungPeopletwo AS
SELECT *
FROM Pennine_TIE_Clinicom_Link.

Hi,

We have just upgraded the Trusts test Health Connect instance from 2021.1 to 2025.1 and now the the Rules and DTL editors, in the Management Portal, timeout after 10 - 20 minutes of inactivity.
In 2021.1 we were able to disable this timeout using: set ^EnsPortal("DisableInactivityTimeout","Portal") = 1, however this no longer works with 2025.1, and is being ignored.
It may be being ignoring this global setting because the editors are no longer using the default Web Application for the Namespaces, and are using the: /ui/interop/rule-editor and /ui/interop/dtl-editor Web Applications.

I am making a FHIR request against Epic, in when I get the Response back using "fromDao" I am extracting the stream into HS.FHIRModel.R4.Patient. However, the patient's name comes back as name within a list that references HS.FHIRModel.R4.SeqOfHumanName.

• How do I extract the name from HS.FHIRModel.R4.SeqOfHumanName?
• Do I have to then do another "fromDao" to pull the list into string format?
• How do I navigate around the lists that are in a FHIRModel response, to extract the string values?

Hello community,
Is there any built in class method to get the HTTP request and response message format from the %request and %response object. Similar to how a Web Gateway's HTTP Trace Facility captures HTTP messages.

Thanks!

I am receiving a FHIR response bundle back with a resource of patient. Using fromDao, I attempted to take the stream and put it into FHIRModel.R4.Patient but it is not mapping correctly. When I attempt to take FHIRModel.R4.Patient and write it out using toString(), all I am seeing is the resource

{"resourceType":"Patient"}

so the response is not mapping correctly to FHIRModel.R4.Patient. How have others handled this? Do I need to translate it to an SDA since it does fit the model format?

I have built a REST operation to submit a JSON Request Body, and in the JSON Response Object, I need to pull out certain values like pureID, portalURL, and under the identifiers array the ClassifiedID that has a term."en_US" = "Scopus Author ID"

Hi Community

I'm working on a complex piece of rules that needs to check each OBX and evaluate if 3 of the fields match certain criteria. I've tried to achieve this using a Foreach loop, which does work, however it is not as clean as I wanted it. I was hoping I could assign temp variables inside the foreach loop to make the rules more easier to read, for example @testCode @resultText. This is not support as you can only assign inside a when condition. Before I raise this as an idea, i wondered if there was an alternative way to achieve the same thing?

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...
