#HealthShare

If you deal with multiple instances of Caché / Ensemble / HealthShare and sometimes have to work at the Terminal command prompt, did you know that you can easily add extra information to that prompt which may help prevent you running a command on the wrong instance?

During startup a Caché/Ensemble/HealthShare instance must consult a parameter file to get some information it needs at the early stages of startup. By default it uses the file called cache.cpf, but by adding an extra argument to the ccontrol start command you can make it use an alternative file.

InterSystems is pleased to announce the simultaneous release of 2017.1.0 of Caché, Ensemble, and HealthShare Health Connect v15.02 

Some notes for Caché and Ensemble, including highlights, are:

• Enhanced OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect
• FIPS 140-2 Validated Cryptography for database encryption
• iKnow REST API
• Improved DocBook Search and efficiency of Ensemble Message Search
• For complete technical details of what’s changed, review the Caché release notes and the Ensemble release notes.
• The version number for these kits is 2017.1.0.792.

Hello,

i'd like to create a directory chain with  "EnsLib.FTP.OutboundAdapter"

i'm using it like that with the class file and it's working:

s file = ##class(%File).CreateDirectoryChain(directory)

But now i'd like to create a directory chain with the FTP Outbound but i don't know how , i didn't see a method to do that.

Thanks in advance.

In this posting I want to raise the profile of a feature that arrived in 2009.1 but is perhaps not very well known.

It is sometimes useful to make certain packages, globals or routines available to all of your namespaces. Of course you can add the necessary mappings whenever you create a new namespace, but here's a simpler way.

First you need a special namespace definition called %ALL Create it in the same way you'd create any namespace. It doesn't matter which database you set as its default for code and data.

In case you've never used the "About" link at the top of Management Portal, here's a screenshot of the kind of information it shows. I've highlighted the link and some of the information I find it handy to get from here.

Hi, 

We have a mixture of legacy and new systems, and are grappling with the issue of moving documents between systems.

At the moment we are mostly using file drops and encoding metadata in filenames, but a new supplier (letter transcription) is going to provide a Hl7v2 feed sending MDM^T02 messages with PDF's of letters base64 encoded in the message itself.

We are thinking of asking all our suppliers to go with MDM (or ORU) for sending documents. 

I'm interested in the pros and cons of the options; and if there are options I haven't thought of.

I am looking for a general overview of how you would attach a document to a patient record in healthshare.  For instance, an Advance Directive or Living Will.

Here are some starter questions:

1. What format is required, if any?  Can it be a PDF or DOC?
2. How can/should it be submitted?  HL7? XDS.b?  Embedded in a CCD?

Sorry for the open endedness.  Any info would be helpful while I research this.

Our client is a test out of 2016.1 (Build 656U) Healthshare that wants to do a one way SSL connection to our Java 1.7/Tomcat 8.0 server.  We have yet to come up with a secure cipher set that Healthshare and Java agree on for the handshake.  So far we've had to use these ciphers identified which are not recommended (though it does do a handshake properly).  Our definition of "secure cipher set" comes from this best practices section 2.3 and ideally we'd like to use the ciphers identified.  Are any of these available in HealthShare 2016+?

If your Ensemble environment is actually a HealthShare one, here's a snippet of information that I wasn't able to find in the documentation.

When a namespace is HealthShare-enabled it gets some mappings added to it in order to fetch stuff from the HSLIB database. The most obvious mapping is a package mapping that gives your namespace all the HS.* classes.

Far less obvious is that your namespace will also be fetching/filing Test.* classes from the HSLIB database. So if you thought that, say, Test.

Hello. New to the forum and was hoping I could get some expert help here. I have one data set that is using CHD Logic to combine Procedure and Diagnosis codes to define Sensitive data and flag the record for additional protected filtering. The files coming in define what is flagged and the Clinical Info Rule and Clinical Info Type are tied to the flag in the file which identifies it as a additional protected record.

I use the HS_IHE_ATNA_Repository.Aggregation table a lot.  Someone just referred me to the HS_IHE_ATNA_Repository.Document table, which has an AggregationId column.  

I assume that column references the ID column in the .Aggregation table.  If so, does this mean that if the same document was requested 1,000 times that there will be 1,000 entries for it in the .Document table?  This seems inefficient to me.  Why not have one record in the document table and have a DocumentId column in the Aggregation table?

Just curious...

I work for an HIE and it just feels like I'm on an island most of the time.

I mean, there's not even a tag here for HIE or Information Exchange :)

Hi,

I have Healthshare/Ensemble version 2015.2.1.

I created Business Operation in my ENSDEMO namespace that will connect to an external REST endpoint to send data to this external REST Service.

I also created an http service in Home>Healthshare>Service Registry, under the Service Type: http. I entered the REST endpoint Name, Host, SSL Configuration, and URL.

In my ENSDEMO production, the Business Operation is using EnsLib.HTTP.OutboundAdpater and my custom Rest business operation class. In the Basic Settings, for HTTP Server, I entered #NameofRegistryService.

Amongst the large fonts and chunky icons of Portal's pages, the Menu button in the top left corner is easily overlooked:

When clicked, it often produces the following menu:

When I remember it's there, I find the "View Console Log" option particularly handy.

I wrote "often" above because I've also noticed that the Menu contents change when I'm on a page within the Ensemble section of Portal:

Maybe the contents are context-sensitive elsewhere too and I just haven't noticed yet.

Until recently I didn't pay much attention to Portal's home page:

If it's not showing when you initially launch Portal you can easily jump to it using the button / tab at the top of the left-hand column of options. And later during your session, get there via the Home link that will be visible at the top of every page.

On the Home page the "Recent" section is automatically maintained for you.

To use the "Favorites" section you need to tag your favorite pages. Suppose I want to add the production monitor page as a favorite. Here's how:

1. Navigate the menu to find the link for the page you want.

After I installed HealthShare, there are some items missing in my local instance. For example, I don’t have Delivery Management, Terminology Management. Under the Relationship Registry, I only have Patient Relationships, but Patient-Clinician Relationships, Relationship Definition and Move Patient-Clinician Relationships are missing. Can anyone help me out here?

I have the following query which tells me how many documents were retrieved for each customer, but it only works for the "on-demand" customers:

All the other PatientFacility's show up as "Documents".

Performing LUT table maintenance through Portal impacted Business Service HL7 message processing for one of our inbound feeds causing a message to fail.  We are on Healthshare 2014.1.3.  Is this a known issue, or is there a right way to modify table?

Hello guys,

I've got this piece of code which runs the method "WebMethod", that belongs to %SOAP.WebBase.cls.

It grabs the outcome from an internal webservice we have and after that, it writes into a file.

The thing is, when I browse the file contents, I realize that in the place where a special character should be, I see a question mark.

By querying the same webservice from a special soap tool called "SoapSonar" (I've been using this for years), the outcome shows up this special character (shows it properly).

So I wonder.

The class %Compiler.UDL.TextServices arrived in 2015.1, bringing us methods for exporting a class in UDL format (i.e. looking just like we're used to seeing it in Studio), and importing a UDL format definition back into a namespace. Some source control tools including our Deltanji are now able to use UDL format, resulting in diffs that are easier to understand.

Hello experts,

Good afternoon. I am a new member here and was wondering if any of you can help me with creating my own instance of Healthshare with MPI.  This will serve as a sandbox and a learning environment for me.  What is the minimum requirement to have such an environment setup, meaning will I only need to setup HSBUS, HSREGISTRY(HUB), MPI, HSACCESS, and EDGE Gateway(s)?  If so, how do I properly set them up without just installing an environment with ENSDEMO?  

In the table/class HS_Registry.document there is a column/property named RepositoryUniqueId.  There are about 14 unique values, which pretty much lines up with the number of our "Push" (Provide & Register) participants and thus unique document repositories.  However, these values just look like OIDs.  I've been searching for over an hour and I can't find anywhere that will provide me some context to these "Repository IDs".  

Anyone have ideas or suggestions where I could find this info?

Hello devs,

I'm facing an issue with one of my business services, which basically grabs a XML from a webservice (which in turn reads the data from the caché database) and does some processing afterwards. The XML content (which is formed of some of the table fields values) contains a special character: ‘ (left single quote)

The 2017.1 FT keys expired on December 31st 2016. Can we have a new set?

Internally we use splunk for monitoring applications and network.

Does Ensemble have a way of exposing internal metrics and/or a way of exposing custom built metrics? 

I've used Deepsee dashboards in the past to monitor Apache Tomcat/Apache Camel/hawtio using JMX rest calls. This is the other way around and ideally I'd like to expose metrics on:

• HL7v2 messages (broken down into types)
• Production performance
• Error and Warning.

Understand Ensemble 2016.2 includes Java 8 JVM and was wondering if the JMX route (plus hawtio) is the way to do this?

For testing purposes, I would like to create an EnsLib.HL7.Message from either a %String or a file on disk and pass it into a function in a unit test (outside of an Ensemble context). EnsLib.HL7.Parser appears to do the necessary parsing, but it also sends the message via Ensemble service rather than returning it as a value. Is there a way to leverage the parsing outside of a Ensemble service? Alternatively, is there another way to create an EnsLib.HL7.Message?

Last week I was onsite with a new customer of ours, implementing Deltanji to give them control of their development and deployment cycle. One particularly satisfying part of the visit was seeing their pleasure at how their production class now records its changes over time, allowing them to quickly diff the versions and see what configuration items have been added or what settings altered. ​

Hello,

I've created a SOAP webservice in HealthShare following the documention.

When I get the wsdl definition and try to import it into a tool like 'SOAPUI' or a java framework like netbeans, I get errors.

The wsdl seems to be bad...

What I have to check?

Thanx

BN

 That is exactly what I would expect.

That is NOT expected.
