Using the SOAP wizard many moons ago, I had setup a process to get Patient Demographics, and the current Visit Location from Epic for processing HL7 DFT Charge Messages.

Within the past week we have had two cases where the Outbound SOAP Adapter has been throwing Errors (Exceptions) where in this case 

NO-PATIENT-FOUND details: No patient found with the provided ID and ID type.

The error is not being sent back in the Response to the Business Process that sent the call. The Response comes back blank.

The CCR EHR Application Specialist Exam is now available on the InterSystems exam store! 

This exam certifies that developers are able to use Tier 2 CCRs to document and progress change workflows.

The problem

How many times have we migrated an IRIS Instance to another machine, maybe even another version, and after a few days realized we forgot that one SSL Configuration critical for a Business Operations to work? Or maybe a credential, or a lonely class in a package by itself?

The solution

The simple solution is to make a checklist¹. A checklist of the entities we have to move. But simple checklists on Word documents are often forgotten, or just ignored.

Hello,

Looking for some additional help, maybe someone who has experience with this before, in setting up and configuring the Web Gateway with Kerberos.

Have read through the documentation (at the link below) and it's a good start but seems there are some details missing, or I'm not clear on. 

Questions: 

• Is there a external enterprise Kerberos server required, or is this set up contained within the local server?
• Is there a step-by-step instructions on what to do and configure to successfully complete this?
• Are there there config changes necessary for Apache?

Hi Community,

In traditional InterSystems SQL, I can use the %NOINDEX keyword during a bulk INSERT to improve performance and then run BUILD INDEX %ALL afterward to populate the indices.

I am looking to implement a similar strategy for an InterSystems FHIR Server.

1. Is there a way to import/save FHIR resources while skipping the search table extraction (the FHIR version of %NOINDEX)?
2. Once the data is loaded, what is the correct programmatic way to "rebuild" the search tables?

Thank you!

Hi Community,

Interoperability metrics were enabled for a production using ##class(Ens.Util.Statistics).EnableSAMForNamespace(). However, after running DisableSAMForNamespace() and DisableStatsForProduction(), the metrics continue to appear in the endpoint output.

Is there a way to completely stop these interoperability metrics from displaying in the API metrics stream? Is there an additional step or cache clear required?

Good afternoon,

I have received a WSDL.

I have imported it successfully in HealthShare.

The external is requesting me to send messages with the following structure (using the auto-generated SOAP Bussiness Operation from the WSDL), as you see they need a custom http header titled "Appian-API-Key", as the following:

            curl --request POST \
              --url [ endpoint ] \
              --header 'Appian-API-Key:  << API KEY >> \
              --header 'Content-Type: application/xml' \
              --data '<?xml version='\''1.0'\'' encoding='\''utf-8'\''?>
            <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv='\''http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'\''>
              <soapenv:Body>
                <tns:acceptMessage xmlns:tns='\''http://ws.connectors.connect.mirth.com/'\''>
                <![CDATA[  Message  ]]>
                </tns:acceptMessage>
              </soapenv:Body>
            </soapenv:Envelope>'

Over the years, we keep monitoring Orphan Messages, and I have begun to notice the number of ACK/NCK's that do not match the Scheme in which the message was sent so it can't not align or signify that the message was OK. For example, if we send an ADT^A08 HL7 message to the vendor, and they send back a A08 instead of an ACK as the message type.

Currently our default is to have Save Replies on EnsLib.HL7.Operation set to IndexNotOk's.

Hi!
We are deploying the iris image in a Kubernetes environment and the cluster state is "Hung" , looking the alerts endpoint we get 2 alerts:

[
  {
     "time":"2026-03-24T13:45:44.548Z",
     "severity":"2",
     "message":"System appears to have failed over from node a69a9f137593"
  },
  {
     "time":"2026-03-24T13:46:30.274Z",
     "severity":"2",
     "message":"Error: <PROTECT>KillAlive+1^%SYS.CDIRECT in SERVERS"
  }
]
Any idea / help where those are comming from and how to address them?

I have a daily service that consumes x number of files, each file name chronologically suffixed sequentially by _1, _2, etc. I only want to process the latest file.

How do I build a business rule so it will only process the last file?

READY is right around the corner, and this year the Application Services team from InterSystems will be hosting a CCR Users GroupMeeting during the conference!This will be held Wednesday, April 29^th during breakfast from 7:30 – 8:30 (breakfast will be served at the meeting room starting at 7:00am).

Introduction

In healthcare interoperability environments, InterSystems Health Connect typically contains critical components such as productions, business processes, operations, services, utility classes, routines, and other ObjectScript artifacts. Traditionally, many deployments of these components have been done manually, by copying classes, importing XML, or using administrative tools from the management portal.

Was wondering if anyone had a Dynamic way to see if a Global is still being used by a Class File. 

We have been monitoring our Global Size recently, and I am trying to find problematic Class files that are not being cleaned up or used appropriately. I have come across some globals that do not seem to have a Class attached to them anymore, and instead of deleting globals 1 by 1, I was looking for a way that we could dynamically do this since the globals have data that is stale in them.

Thanks

Scott
