#Interoperability

7 Followers · 566 Posts

In healthcare, interoperability is the ability of different information technology systems and software applications to communicate, exchange data, and use the information that has been exchanged.

Question Eduard Lebedyuk · Jul 28, 2021

I have a BPL Business process which always processes messages - mainly it waits for responses since downstream systems are seriously async.

I need to update this process.

Wwould the existing instances of this Business Process complete correctly after the update?

My BPL changes would result in:

  1. New S method in the Thread class
  2. New OnResponse method in the context class

Both changes are in the middle of the process, so there are S/OnResponse methods before and after my change.

What if it's only a new S method? What if it's only a new OnResponse method?

Hello Developers!

Have you ever had to convert HL7v2 messages to FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) and found the process complicated and confusing? InterSystems is rolling out a new cloud based SaaS offering called InterSystems FHIR Transformation Service, which makes the process easy.  We are excited to announce an Early Access Preview Program for our new offering, and we would love to have you kick the tires and let us know what you think!  All you need is a free AWS account, with an S3 bucket to drop in your HL7v2 messages, and another S3 bucket to get your FHIR output.

PEX is a new InterSystems IRIS feature to allows extends IRIS with existent features from Java or .NET.

It is possible create interoperability inbound and outbound adapters, business services (integrate from external to internal) and operations (integrate internal to external).

To create a PEX component it is necessary import .NET (InterSystems.EnsLib.PEX.*) or Java (com.intersystems.enslib.pex.*) packages and extends or implements the properly class.

In this article I will use my OCR Service. It has a PEX business Operation, see the code:

public class OcrOperation extends BusinessOperation {

Productions often need to receive REST requests.

Here's how to do that.

1. Create proxy Service:

/// Empty BS we would use to send Produciton requests
Class production.ProxyService Extends Ens.BusinessService
{
}

2. Add it to production as RESTService (or any other name).

3. Write your rest broker (docs, more docs)

4. In your handler method create the message and call target BP/BO like this

Include Ensemble
Class test.REST Extends %CSP.REST
{

XData UrlMap [ XMLNamespace = "http://www.intersystems.com/urlmap" ]
{
<Routes>
<Route Url="/launchProcess/:processName" Method="POST"

Question Pravin Barton · Jun 14, 2021

I'm working with a REST API that will sometimes rate limit our requests by returning an HTTP 429 Too Many Requests status code. Is there a good way in a business operation to handle this by throttling our requests until we get a success response? My initial thoughts are:

  • Reduce the pool size on the business operation to 1 so all requests are first in, first out.
  • If the API returns a 429 response, set %rate = $get(%rate,1)*2, then hang %rate, then send the request to the back of the queue.
  • If the API returns a success response, kill %rate

I'm wondering if there's a better way to do this.

In this article, I will show how you can easily containerize  .Net/Java Gateways.

For our example, we will develop an Integration with Apache Kafka.

And to interoperate with Java/.Net code we will use PEX .

Architecture

Our solution will run completely in docker and look like this:

Java Gateway

First of all, let's develop Java Operation to send messages into Kafka. The code can be written in your IDE of choice and it can look like this.

In short:

  • To develop new PEX Business Operation we need to implement  abstract com.intersystems.enslib.pex.BusinessOperation class
  • Public properties are

Hi guys,

How can we remove a business host from a running production?

I've read and tested how to add it to a production, while when I try to remove it from the production with the following codes:

Set tSC = $$$OK
    Set prodName = "CDRDemo.DemoProduction"
    Set confName = "TEST1"
    Set className = "Demo.LISClient.Operation.PatientOperation"
    #Dim prodConf As Ens.Config.Production = ##class(Ens.Config.Production).%OpenId(prodName)
    Set itemId = ""
    &SQL(Select ID into :itemId from Ens_Config.Item
        where Production=:prodName
        and ClassName=:className

Hi Developers!  Let me share with you some exercises from a workshop about developing interoperability components in Java using PEX (Production EXtension).

You will find slides and step by step exercises about:

  • Understanding simple PEX components coded in Java.
  • Making some changes on them.

All built using containers, so you don't need to build a local Java environment.

You can reach the repository here: https://openexchange.intersystems.com/package/workshop-pex

Hello,

I was wondering if InterSystems has support for the following standards built into IRIS or Health Connect / Ensemble:

1.        Healthcare FHIR(Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resource) Protocol

2.        Enterprise Resource Planning OAGIS (Open Applications Group Integration Specification) Protocol / Supply Chain Management GS1-EPCIS (Electronic Product Code Information Services)

3.        Education, Certification, Credentials FERPA CEDS (Common Education Data Standards) Protocol

According to IDC, more than 80% of information it is NoSQL, especially text into documents. When the digital services or applications not process all this information, the business lose. To face this challenge, it is possible use OCR technology. OCR uses machine learning and/or trained image patterns to transform image pixels into text. This is important, because many documents are scanned into images inside PDF, or many documents contains images with text inside. So OCR are an important step to get all possible data from a document.

To do OCR, the main open source solution used is Google

The InterSystems IRIS can be extended using Java or .NET components and its frameworks inside Object Script source code.

I created an application called OCR Service. It built with Docker and installs Google Tesseract inside docker instance configured with english and portuguese dialects, but is possible install more than other 100 dialects.Google Tesseract can receive images and return text extracted from it, using OCR.The results are very good with the trained dialects.But you can train Tesseract to read car plates and any other textual patterns and load it to extract text.

Managed File Transfer (MFT) feature of InterSystems IRIS enables easy inclusion of a third-party file transfer service directly into an InterSystems IRIS production. Currently, DropBox, Box, and Kiteworks cloud disks are available.

In this article, I'd like to describe how to add more cloud storage platforms.

Here's what we're going to talk about:

Introduction

InterSystems has recently completed a performance and scalability benchmark of IRIS for Health 2020.1, focusing on HL7 version 2 interoperability. This article describes the observed throughput for various workloads, and also provides general configuration and sizing guidelines for systems where IRIS for Health is used as an interoperability engine for HL7v2 messaging.

Question Kurro Lopez · Mar 10, 2021

Hi all,

I have a very weird error when I'm calling to a SOAP Webservice as client.

I've create all objects to invoke to this SOAP using the add-in "Assistant SOAP" in Eclipse, it has created all objects (Response, Request, Business operation WS class, etc...).

When I call to this service it retuns the following error message:

ERROR #6243: HTTP request to SOAP WebService returned unexpected CONTENT-TYPE response: text/html.

However, If I call the same WS using SOAP UI or Postman, the header of response has the content-type "text/xml", as expected.

What is wrong?

There are various ways to receive information, such as monitoring the specified directory at regular intervals to read files, periodically querying the database, waiting for input, or directly calling and having it passed from applications in other systems.

To begin with, what kind of process do you want to create? While thinking about this, make the following content.

  • Production
  • Message
  • Components
    • Business Services
    • Business Processes
    • Business Operations

Production is a definition used to specify the components required for system integration and to store the component settings, which are

This article will review the concept and the definition of the messages used to send and receive data between components from the required development content for system integration.

Before creating a message, let's review the case study.
