Introducing a new component driver for Deltanji source control, which enables highly granular management of InterSystems Interoperability Productions with tight integration into the management portal

InterSystems Interoperability Productions are defined in a single monolithic class definition. A production can contain many hundreds or thousands of configuration items. This presents a problem if multiple developers are working on different Business Processes within the same production simultaneously. Simultaneous development is almost inevitable for large productions containing many configuration items. 

A simple production that enables FHIR transaction bundles to be loaded into InterSystems® FHIR® Server via Box and Dropbox.  Using the included MFT Connection Components and a 14 liner Custom Business Process, this production will process your transaction bundles to FHIR Resources for immediate consumption with Harry Potter like wizardry.  Great for Hackathons, Research and FHIR® Cocktail parties.

Ill start with a short video tour of the production, the MFT Connections, and the Oauth2 app configuration for Box and Dropbox on IRIS, and follow up with some step by steppers to get you going with

Hi developers! have you ever implemented a DICOM integration? Maybe you have searched for an example, or even a simulator. Here you can find a example that may be useful.

DICOM is a message standard widely used in healthcare for diagnostic images.You can use DICOM standard in interoperability productions using both IRIS For Health and Health Connect, here you can find the documentation.

On many occasions, when you are developing a DICOM integration it's really useful that you can run a simulator to play as some external system (e.g.

Hi developers!

Maybe you have to implement scenarios that don't require a FHIR repository, but forwarding FHIR requests, manage the responses and maybe run transformations or extract some values in between. Here you will find some examples that can be implemented using InterSystems IRIS For Health o HealthShare Health Connect.

In these examples I've used interoperability productions with FHIR Interoperability Adapter and HS.FHIRServer.Interop.Request messages.

First scenario build a FHIR requests from scratch (it could be from a file, or a SQL query) and then send it to an external FHIR service.

Welcome to the next chapter of my CI/CD series, where we discuss possible approaches toward software development with InterSystems technologies and GitLab.

Today, let's talk about interoperability.

Issue

When you have an active interoperability production, you have two separate process flows: a working production that processes messages and a CI/CD process flow that updates code, production configuration and system default settings.

Clearly, CI/CD process affects interoperability. But questions are:

• What exactly happens during an update?
• What do we need to do to minimize or eliminate production downtime during an update?

Hi Community,
In this article I will demonstrate the functionality of my app iris-energy-isodata .  
Application is accessing energy data (production, demand and supply)  from the major Independent System Operators (ISOs) in the United States to ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns (SDG's 12)

Application is using python library isodata , Production EXtension PEX  along with Embedded Python.  Special Thanks to @Guillaume Rongier for the template  template for guidance

Hi developers!

Here is the score of technical bonuses for participants' applications in the InterSystems Interoperability Contest: Building Sustainable Solutions 2022!

On the Latest GlobalSummit 2022, InterSystems Introduced Cloud SQL. So, you may have lightweight InterSystems IRIS with access to SQL only. Well, what if you would still need some Interoperability features in the cloud as well? There are various solutions on the market nowadays, which offer a bunch of integration adapters out of the box and can be extended with support from the community. Some time ago, I've implemented an adapter for the Node-RED project, which can be deployed manually everywhere you want. Now I would like to introduce a new integration with my recent discovery, n8n.io

n8n.io is a workflow automation platform, that supports over 200 different integrations out of the box and from a community, and now including InterSystems IRIS.

Hello everyone, I’m a French student that just arrived in Prague for an academical exchange for my fifth year of engineering school and here is my participation in the interop contest.

I hadn’t much time to code since I was moving from France to Prague and I’m participating alone, so I decided to make a project that’s more like a template rather than an application.

I wanted to participate since my field (Data Science and AI) is not often linked with sustainability and the contest was a way for me to express myself in this important subject that is sustainability and Environnement.

As you know,

TL;DR: you can try the chatbot created with IRIS Flow here; if you'd like to understand how it was created, read this article.

Introduction

Sometime ago, Henrique, Henry and I started the IRIS-Megazord project to join several of our projects and introduce IRIS Flow - a tool for creation of automation flows supported by the IRIS Interoperability framework.

Following the current contest subject - Sustainable Solutions, we decided to increment the automation features in IRIS Flow by adding a new adapter for use the Climatiq

Hi folks!

Suppose I have a production in which I added a few components and I want to export its components into files for source control. How do I do that?

I know that there is an option for manual export in VSCode. But how can I make it programmatically?

Thanks!

I recently started to study interoperability and I found the official documentation very helpful in understanding how it works, though I still had some trouble implementing it myself. With the help I got from my coworkers, I managed to create a Demo of a system and learn through practice. Because of that, I decided to write this to help others with "getting their hands dirty" and share the help I got.

Hi everyone!

I am recruiting on a fully remote Intersystems Developer.  This role will be a long term contract to begin with high likelihood of extensions or conversion permanent.  Please check out the job description down below and feel free to send me an email with your resume: Spencer.Frey@insightglobal.com 

The Healthcare Integration Developer is responsible for designing, developing, and deploying the complex near real-time and real-time data interoperability solutions using Healthcare industry-standard data formats/specifications (HL7, FHIR, EDI, etc.).

In the previous articles, we learned the basics of using IMAP protocol to handle messages from mailboxes in an e-mail server. That was cool and interesting, but you could take advantage of implementations created by other ones, available in libraries ready to use.

One of the improvements to the IRIS data platform is the ability to write Python code alongside ObjectScript in the same IRIS process. This new feature is called Embedded Python. Embedded Python lets us bring to our ObjectScript code the power of the huge Python ecosystem’s libraries.

In this article, we’ll use one of those libraries,

Credentials for a Productions are stored as plain text in ^Ens.SecondaryData.Password and exposed as plain text via SQL table Ens_Config.Credentials which is not ideal as only admins should know the credentials.

I can create my own adapter etc... to store and use encrypted passwords but does anyone know if there is a standard way to do this in a Production?

Alternatively, am I missing how to secure this so the production can run and someone can monitor and operate a production without access to the SQL table or global?

Hey Community, 

In this webinar, we’ll discuss how you can now easily integrate Apache Kafka within InterSystems IRIS data platform, including via interoperability productions and programmatically via API calls, as both a producer as well as a consumer of Apache Kafka messages: 

⏯ InterSystems IRIS Tech Talk: Kafka

Hello, everyone!

InterSystems IRIS has a menu called Interoperability.

It provides mechanisms to easily create system integrations (adapters, record maps, BPMs, data conversions, etc.) so different systems can be easily connected.

A variety of operations can be included in the data relay process, as examples we can cite: to connect systems that are not normally connected, data can be received (or sent) according to the specifications of the destination system.Also, information can be acquired and added from another system before sending the data.

I have a proprietary JSON and a need to transform to SDA and save to a sda file.

How to transform json to SDA and write to a file?
