FastJsonSchema: High-Performance JSON Validation in IRIS

Validating JSON data against JSON Schema is a common requirement for modern applications. FastJsonSchema brings this capability natively to InterSystems IRIS, combining speed, simplicity, and full schema compliance.

Unlike traditional validation approaches, FastJsonSchema generates native ObjectScript code from your JSON Schemas and compiles it directly to iris object code, enabling idiomatic performance without relying on external libraries or runtimes.

Hello, 

I am using Object Script with Phyton to import an Excel File. 

Please see the below code. Its works fine for all text and numeric Columns. But by importing a DATE formated column in Excel (birthdate) , Iam facing the below issue as result:

My question: How can i import date formated Excel Data in Object Script?

Thanks a lot in advance

Hello,

Are there any utilities/api in HealthConnect 2016.2.1 that will allow conversion of XML virtual document to Json format? We were thinking to convert HL7 ADT message to XML via Ensemble DTL and then send it to another BP to convert to Json format for transmission via Web Services. To my understanding there isn't anyway to represent Json as a virtual object so it can be use for direct mapping of HL7 2.x message to Json via Ensemble DTL.

Thanks

Could someone explain how and why a HL7 ACK be showing up as a Orphaned message when I run the following SQL...
 

SELECT HL7.ID,HL7.DocType,HL7.Envelope,HL7.Identifier,HL7.MessageTypeCategory,HL7.Name,HL7.OriginalDocId,HL7.ParentId, HL7.TimeCreated
FROM EnsLib_HL7.Message HL7
LEFTJOIN Ens.MessageHeader hdr
ON HL7.Id=hdr.MessageBodyId
WHERE hdr.MessageBodyId ISNULL

I am trying to find the problem code that is causing the Orphaned messages, and an ACK showing up seems kind of Odd. While we do have Archive IO/Trace on, and Index NOT OK's set why would they show up as Orphaned messages?

There are a select few in the group that have been using Github as a Local Client push to a Repository setup in GitHub. Questions were brought up today about the security, and possible issues when it comes to data being pushed in this method.

Looking over code we have noticed that there is Histogram data within some of the class files that could be considered a security issue. Does anyone else have concerns with the Histogram data being within the class files pushed up to github?

Within Provider Data Management, I wanted a way to capture the Code Table mapping errors thrown by HSPD.MDM.FlowControl.Process into a Workflow Task for someone to work. However, because HSPD.MDM.FlowControl.Process can get overwritten during the upgrade process, I cloned it into another Business Process so we can use Workflow Tasks to troubleshoot mapping errors.

Overview

This release introduces major improvements to storage scalability and performance, a significant operating system upgrade across all offerings, and a new default version of the FHIR Server.

I am working on building out a Workflow task that captures errors in mapping to specific tables. Within the Workflow task, I would like to give the owner of the task the ability to resubmit message once the mapping has been corrected. Is there a way to do it in a similar fashion to pulling up the Trace ie...

EnsPortal.VisualTrace.zen?SESSIONID=#(%task.%FormValues.GetAt("MsgHdrID"))#" target="_blank">View Message Trace

Is there a one liner that could be called to resubmit the MsgHdrID (Session ID) from its source to post it again?

Has anyone been able to successfully implement a business service to pull files from Azure Blob storage?

I am trying to add validation to a RecordMap, because the source of the data sent file sent us bad data within the file. So, I am using PATTERN to verify certain fields start with Numeric, and Alpha where applicable. When the EnsLib.RecordMap.Service.FTPService runs into an issue it doesn't seem like it continues onto the next record if the record does not meet the validation requirements. 

How can I tell EnsLib.RecordMap.Service.FTPService to log the error and continue onto the next record, so those records that fail are not processed?

I am trying to add some validation to an existing Record Map, because recently we had some wrong data get consumed into the System and is causing all kinds of havoc.

Using the AI on the Developer community it suggested that I use PATTERN within the Datatype Parameters to force some validation on some fields. I have never used PATTERN before...

When I go to generate the updated Record Map, I am getting the following...

By the screenshots is my logic not correct?

gj :: configExplorer is a new VS Code extension integrating with Server Manager and leveraging Structurizr to produce configuration diagrams of your servers.

Here's a short introductory video.

By using the InterSystems IRIS Native API for Node.js it avoids the need for any support code to be installed on the servers. This technology choice also qualifies it for entry into the current Developer Community contest.

The initial release focuses on two aspects of server configuration:

• Namespaces and databases
• ECP connectivity

Suggestions for what to add next are welcome, as is general feedback.

I have a locally saved multiple saved .cls file. How can I bundle them together as a XML file programmatically (ObjectScript) so that I can import in the next environment. Does anyone have a sample code?

Hi, Community!

If you need to help providers meet a payer's documentation requirements, see how the Documentation Templates and Rules (DTR) module of the InterSystems Payer Services ePrior Authorization solution can help:

In my previous article, I structured network communications
in these 3 possible layers, and covered the last

• Client <---> Transport
• Server <---> Transport
• Client <---> Server

In fact, you have the most control over the last one.
The IRIS side as a server is yours and under your full control. 
Up to now, the Transport layer was assumed to be as passive as a bare wire.

This assumption should be verified. I once met a Windows environment with
a quite surprising setup where a Firewall-like filter was isolating internal
processes and causing a lot of trouble.

Chasing errors or misbehavior in the network can be quite a challenge.
Differently to  a local application on the DB server, you always have at least 3 players:

• A client  to place a request 
• some kind of transport layer
• and a server to provide a reply.

This results in a minimum of 3 possible communication layers

• Client <---> Transport
• Server <---> Transport
• Client <---> Server

The last one is probably the easiest  to check, while the other 
two deal with the same counterpart just from opposite sides.

?  Do both ends use the same communication protocol ?

Hi,

 I have just installed WebTerminal on my local instance of Health Connect 2025.1, but it does not work and returns a HTTP 401 error.

Can any one help, as I have never installed WebTerminal before?

Has there been any changes in Health Connect to stop it working in version 2025.1?

Thanks.

Neil

You may have noticed that to configure a mirror for InterSystems IRIS for Health™ and HealthShare® Health Connect there is a special requirement. I wanted to go through it step by step in this article.

This assumes you have already configured the second failover member and confirmed a successful failover member status in the mirror monitor:

Step 1:Enable HS_Services user (on backup and primary) 

Step 2: Switch to Namespace HSSYS and go to Interoperability > Configure > Credentials. Enter the Password for your predefined HS_Services user (on backup and primary)

I would like to share with you a little trick to customize how messages are displayed in the Message Viewer. In particular, how you can display messages as JSON (instead of the default XML representation).

Messages are objects that are used to communicate interoperability productions components. In my example I have defined a message that later I serialize as JSON to send to an external API. This message is defined as a regular message and also as a %JSON.Adaptor so I can export / import directly to or from JSON.

Can someone give me an explanation of how Local.PD.Linkage.Definition.Individual works? This was setup by another company as part of our implementation.

Below is my configuration..

We are getting a lot of matches on Given Name, but then the Family Name does not match at all, so I am wondering if these need to be adjusted. I just don't understand if they need to be positive or negative.

if I use the MLE CALIBRATION MONITOR, it seems that none of the values should be negative.
