What is the recommended library for converting documents to pdf. Any suggestions welcome has anyone out there had a use case where they had to convert documents to pdf .What worked for them .I have asked WRC for the best practice and they have recommended that may be  a sale engineer might have an answer to this .

Since .Net has a unified package manager system (Nuget.org) why doesn't Intersystems create and add a nuget package (.nupkg) containing the InterSystems.Data.IRISClient.dll file.

This would make it easier for external .net developers to obtain the package for creating tools and/or applications that utilize Iris/Iris4Health

Can  Intersystems create a nuget package?

Hi Community,

I've created a method in my File Service to do a cleanup for every file load. Currently, I've set it to delete data when LastUpdated date is greater than maxdate. However, I want to do a cleanup for every new file load. Any suggestions or advice on how to do this? Thanks!

Method Cleanup()
{

   Set tMaxDate = ""
   &SQL(SELECT Max(LastUpdated) into :tMaxDate
   FROM MC_Table_Data.Patient) 
 

   &SQL(DELETE MC_Table_Data.Patient WHERE LastUpdated<:tMaxDate)
}

Hello!

This article is a small overview of a tool that helps to understand classes and their structure inside the InterSystems products: from IRIS to Caché, Ensemble, HealthShare.

In short, it visualizes a class or an entire package, shows the relations between classes and provides all the possible information to developers and team leads without making them go to Studio and examine the code there.

February 19, 2025 – Alert: SQL Queries Returning Wrong Results

InterSystems has corrected two issues that can cause a small number of SQL queries to return incorrect results. In addition, InterSystems has corrected an inconsistency in date/time datatype handling that may lead to different, unexpected – yet correct – results for existing applications that rely on the earlier, inconsistent behavior.

Hello all,

We are currently developing a set of cubes in Unified Care Report (UCR) for data analysis purposes. However, we are encountering issues with cube dependencies, where certain cubes rely on others to be compiled beforehand. The complexity of these dependencies is becoming increasingly difficult to manage, particularly when attempting to deploy the cubes.

The problem arises when trying to compile a cube that depends on another cube, which may also have its own dependencies. For instance, when compiling the Test.Cube.

FHIR repositories, applications and servers typically serve clinical data in small quantities, whether to return data about a patient, their medications, vaccines, allergies, among other information. However, it is common for a large amount of data in FHIR/JSON format to be requested to be used to load into Data Lakes, identifying study cohorts, population health, or transferring data from one EHR to another. To meet these business scenarios that require large extractions and loads of data, it is recommended to use the FHIR Bulk Data Access feature provided by HL7 institution.

Hello All,

I am looking for some Integration engineers who have expertise in IRIS/Healthshare in North America.

Have a project going on , if interested please feel free to reach out to me.

Hey everyone.

I came across some issues when setting up Freeze and Thaw batch scripts for use with VMWare in a Windows ecosystem, and I wanted to share what I found in the hopes it can help others. This was undertaken in an environment using Healthconnect 2019.1.x.

IRIS not up (2)

It seems that the sample script from the documentation in my my case would tell me that the environment was not running (despite it running). To correct this, I provided the filepath to the Mgr location as so:

c:\InterSystems\HealthConnect\bin\irisdb -s"C:\InterSystems\HealthConnect\Mgr" -U%%SYS ##Class(Backup.General).

I have an operation using $ZF this operation ran and did not error but the job has been active and it can not be stopped I have tried stopping it from the front end and through the terminal using ##class(ENSLIB.Job).%New() Stop method. Now my production will not update even if I add a new item to the production I cannot update the item is there a way to force stop  this job.

I have a scenario where I send a GET request to a broker and receive a FHIR response. When I attempted to use the built-in InterSystems functions to convert this FHIR response into SDA, the transformation failed—likely because it is not a standard FHIR request.

How should I handle this situation? Is there a recommended approach to processing FHIR responses in this context?

Additionally, if I manage to convert the FHIR response into a request format, I noticed that the broker sends a Task resource.

I understand that InterSystems provides functions to facilitate transactions between FHIR and HL7 via the SDA segment. My question is:

• Does this transformation only work when InterSystems receives FHIR requests and converts them into HL7, or does it also support responses?
• Specifically, if our operation sends a GET request to a broker and receives a FHIR response, does InterSystems support transforming this response into an SDA segment automatically?
• Or should we manually parse and modify the response to handle it according to our needs?

What would be the best approach in this scenario?

In this article, exceptions are covered.

Working with Exceptions

Instead of returning a %Status response, you can raise and throw an Exception. You are then responsible for catching the exception and validating it. IRIS provides five main classes to handle exceptions effectively. Additionally, you can create custom exception class definition based on your needs.

These exceptions are different from %Status, so you can't directly/efficiently use the exception object with $SYSTEM.OBJ.DisplayError() or $SYSTEM.Status.DisplayError()

You may encounter errors during any point of program execution, and there are several ways to raise and handle these exceptions. In this article, we'll explore how exceptions are handled efficiently in IRIS.

One of the most commonly used return types is %Status, which is used by methods to indicate success or failure. Let's begin by discussing %Status values.

Working with %Status

The %Status return type is used to represent errors or success. Many system methods return %Status when an error occurs.

We can loop over segment group or repeatable segments with FOREACH in business rules. How can we loop over repeated fields within a segment in business rule?

Thank you

Hello All,

I need help Integrating the vendor-provided code into the current code to check if the data is an array and if it is, iterate through each item using a for each loop. Also, I need to hit every error handler code mentioned at the bottom along with the transform in both instances.

My Current Code:

/// Given a patient number in a JSON string format, this includes required transformations and makes use of 
/// the MPI Query Handler to pull basic demographics from Epic. 
Class CUH.Proc.DCIQGetPatient Extends Ens.

I build a simple text string from an HL7 message in the DTL.  What target message type and Business Operation should I use to write the text to a file?

Hello,

I'm trying to add another segment to an HL7 MDM message. More specifically OBXgrp(1).OBX. The addition itself works,. When I look at the message in the trace, the segment with the content can be seen. However, it is not displayed as an OBX segment.

Build Map Status = 'ERROR <EnsEDI>ErrMapRequired: Missing required OBXgrp(1) element at segment 6'
'ERROR <EnsEDI>ErrMapSegUnrecog: Unrecognized Segment 6:'' found after segment 5 (TXA)'

// HL7-Nachricht klonen
    Set response = msg.%ConstructClone()

// OBX-Segment erstellen
    Set tSegmentOBX = ##class(EnsLib.HL7.Segment).

I am looking for a link to documentation that shows what responses are available to commands like:

^%GI, ^%GO, ^%RO, ^%RIMF

tried search in docs.intersystems.com "https://docs.intersystems.com/iris20243/csp/docbook/Doc.Results.cls?doc…"

So far had a suggestion just go to the code to figure it out.

I am currently experiencing frustration with trying to Authenticate an Active Directory account through JDBC as the Hospital System moves from OnPrem SQL Server to using Azure SQL Server with Microsoft Entra Authentication.

Microsoft cannot give me a straight answer of what is required from a JDBC standpoint to authenticate from a Linux environment.

I am working with WRC, but we are both struggling to find the specific answer for JDBC. If I use my local desktop and JDBC to connect through DBeaver I don't have an issue.

We connect to MS SQL Databases using the Microsoft JDBC Driver 12.2 using the following URL

jdbc:sqlserver://<server>:<port>;database=<database name>;trustServerCertificate=true;integratedSecurity=true;authenticationScheme=NTLM;domain=osumc;authentication=NotSpecified

They want to migrate the databases to the Azure Cloud and in doing so we need the Authentication to change to go through Microsoft Entra.

Not sure there are many that connect to MS SQL to execute queries, stored procedures, etc, but our Healthsystem has many different MS SQL based databases we use within the Interoperability environment for various reasons.

With the push to moving from on-prem to the Cloud we ran into some difficulties with our SQL Gateway connections and knowing how to config them to use Microsoft Entra for Active Directory Authentication.

There are many articles out on the web, but there was not one that could give us the full answer to what we needed to do, and Microsoft wasn’t much help.

Hi, I am coming unstuck with a current mapping from HL7 to XML using the DTL editor with an XML schema (imported by XSD).

My output keeps prefixing the elements with "xsd_2" despite this not being defined in the targetnamespace within my XSD file. 

Would anyone have any idea as to where this is creeping in? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 

My XSD namespace etc are setup as follows:

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
           targetNamespace="http://voicetechnologies.co.uk/winvoice/importation"
           xmlns="http://voicetechnologies.co.

Hi experts, please, do you know cause this errors in cconsole?
I'd like know what can I investigate.

I'm working on some code that would benefit from being able to see whether or not a project file has been saved in Studio.
I can see when I make changes, that the project name has an asterisk added to it:

In searching for it, however, I haven't been able to find any methods or calls to access the property/check that controls that asterisk.
My question is whether anyone out there knows if that is accessible and if so then how can it be accessed.
I'd like to add a check in my code that enforces that the project file must be saved prior to proceeding with the intended action.

Hello everyone! This is my first post into the developer community and one that I hope is fairly simple to answer. In our environment we currently have 3 different Test environments for testing before migrating code to our Prod environment. Currently we are working on establishing a source control method using Git in house which has been a bit of a struggle. We have also had developers that had used different test and migration methods in the past which has caused some issues with keeping the different test environment in sync.
