#Interoperability

Hello, I want to create PDF from HTML source. I found pandoc. I installed pandoc on IRIS container image. I created Interoperability production. I have setup REST service to receive HTML file in request body. I call pandoc command pandoc -o output.pdf input.html  from a BPL process. I copy output.pdf file stream into response body. I save the response at the source. I get a file named output.pdf but it does not load in Acrobat. I suspect I am doing something wrong with headers (accept-encoding?) or maybe do I need to base64 encode the pdf file to transfer it via REST?

Hello all,

On one of my team's systems, we utilize a business operation with the EnsLib.SQL.OutboundAdapter to make SQL queries to another IRIS system using JDBC. To authenticate the connection, we utilize a user account on the target system.

We recently had a failure where this user account expired due to inactivity, causing all queries to error until the account was reactivated on the target system.

Samba is the standard for file services interoperability across Linux, Unix, DOS, Windows, OS/2 and other OS. Since 1992, Samba has provided secure, stable and fast file services for all clients (OS and programs) using the SMB/CIFS protocol. Network administrators have used SAMBA to create shared network folders to allow company employees to create, edit and view corporate files as if they were on their computers locally, when these files are physically located on a network file server. It is possible to create a network folder in Linux and see it as a shared folder in Windows, for example.

I have challenged to create a bot application using Azure Bot that can retrieve and post data to IRIS for Health.

A patient's data has already been registered in the FHIR repository of IRIS for Health.

The patient's MRN is 1001. His name is Taro Yamada. (in Japanese :山田 太郎)

This bot can post new pulse oximeter readings as an observation resource linked to the patient.

I received some really excellent feedback from a community member on my submission to the Python 2024 contest. I hope its okay if I repost it here:

you build a container more than 5 times the size of pure IRIS

and this takes time

container start is also slow but completes

backend is accessible as described

a production is hanging around

frontend reacts

I fail to understand what is intended to show

the explanation is meant for experts other than me

The submission is here: https://openexchange.intersystems.com/package/IRIS-RAG-App

When registering the components: I used this command:
"Utils.migrate("/external/src/CoreModel/Python/settings.py)" ;
The error appears: "An error has occurred: iris.cls: error finding class",
I changed with these two lines:
result = subprocess.run(["iop", "-m", "/external/src/CoreModel/Python/settings.py"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, check=True)
subprocess.run(["iop", "-m", "/external/src/CoreModel/Python/settings.py"], stdout=subprocess.DEVNULL, stderr=subprocess.

Up until recently, I have been toying around with REST/FHIR capabilities but only internally. Now I have a request to make REST API calls outside of our Network. 

I am using an RSA 4096 key, because Microsoft Active Directory Services which generates the signed certificate could not handle the Elliptical Key (ECC) when I put the request in.

• Others in the Healthcare industry, how have you handled this when there isn't an API manager involved?
• Do you connect directly through the Interoperability Engine using a TLS key?

Welcome to the next chapter of my CI/CD series, where we discuss possible approaches toward software development with InterSystems technologies and GitLab. Today, we continue talking about Interoperability, specifically monitoring your Interoperability deployments. If you haven't yet, set up Alerting for all your Interoperability productions to get alerts about errors and production state in general.

Inactivity Timeout is a setting common to all Interoperability Business Hosts. A business host has an Inactive status after it has not received any messages within the number of seconds specified by the Inactivity Timeout field. The production Monitor Service periodically reviews the status of business services and business operations within the production and marks the item as Inactive if it has not done anything within the Inactivity Timeout period. The default value is 0 (zero). If this setting is 0, the business host will never be marked Inactive, no matter how long it stands idle.

From time to time we develop an Ensemble Production with simple SQL Inbound data from external databases, we need to develop a few new classes. There are at least:

• 1 Ens.Request class with the fields captured from the SQL ResultSet
• 1 Business Service class using SQL Inbound Adaptor, and in the OnProcessInput(), copy the relevant field data from ResultSet to the new Ens.Request, and call either ..SendRequestSync() or ..SendRequestAsync().

Collision Theory Confirmed

Anyone here know if the Implementation Partner program is still open, and if so, is there anyone we can contact to get more details? I've tried reaching out via the form on the website, I've called and left a message, and then I called and talked to someone a few weeks ago who said they would "forward my info over", but we still haven't heard back from anyone. We just want to get more info on what it entails, but can't seem to get in touch with anybody to talk about it. 

New in version 2023.3 (of InterSystems IRIS for Health) is a capability to perform FHIR profile-based validation.

(*)

In this article I'll provide a basic overview of this capability.

If FHIR is important to you, you should definitely try out this new feature, so read on.

Add a credential to login the FHIR REST interface - in this case only consider a basic authentication

Add Service Registry  - in this case only consider a basic authentication

- setup a HTTP service

- input the Path to the FHIR Server

- input the URL to the FHIR service

- use the credential profiled

Add a "HS.FHIRServer.Interop.HTTPOperation"

Choose the Service Name

Test the FHIR Client

Trace the test result

Current triage systems often rely on the experience of admitting physicians. This can lead to delays in care for some patients, especially when faced with inexperienced residents or non-critical symptoms. Additionally, it can result in unnecessary hospital admissions, straining resources and increasing healthcare costs.

We focused our project on pregnant women and conducted a survey with friends of ours who work at a large hospital in São Paulo, Brazil, specifically in the area of monitoring and caring for pregnant women.

Hi Community,

I'm looking for someone who has already made data ingestion into IRIS (or Caché) from Pentaho Data Integration.

Thanks in advance.

We have a custom business service that is triggered by a scheduled task. The service queries a table, iterates over the result set and sends a message on to a business process for each result. Happy path functionality is all fine.

However, when there is an error detected in the business service code, neither throwing an exception nor returning an error %Status behaves as we'd expect.

Our error handling scheme, which is working for the other business processes and operations, is to throw an exception on error.

The OpenAPI Specification (OAS) defines a standard, language-agnostic interface to HTTP APIs which allows both humans and computers to discover and understand the capabilities of the service without access to source code, documentation, or through network traffic inspection. When properly defined, a consumer can understand and interact with the remote service with a minimal amount of implementation logic. While for SOAP based APIs there is a special wizard in InterSystems IRIS that cuts down orchestrations development time, not all APIs used in integrations are SOAP. That's why @Jaime Lerga suggested to add a wizard similar to the SOAP wizard to generate a REST client from OpenAPI specification. Implementation of this idea cuts down the development time of the REST API orchestrations with InterSystems IRIS. This idea is one of most popular ideas on the InterSystems ideas. This article, the third in the "Implemented Ideas" series, focuses on the OpenAPI Suite solution developed by @Lorenzo Scalese.

Is there a way to exclude specific members from a class when exporting to an XML or UDL file? Bonus question: is there a way to import from that file without overwriting those members that were excluded?

The use case is to export an interoperability production class without the ProductionDefinition XDATA. We plan to source control the production items through the Ensemble Deployment Manager, but we still need to export any custom code in the class definition itself.

The InterSystems IRIS has a series of facilitators to capture, persist, interoperate, and generate analytical information from data in XML format. This article will demonstrate how to do the following:

1. Capture XML (via a file in our example);
2. Process the data captured in interoperability;
3. Persist XML in persistent entities/tables;
4. Create analytical views for the captured XML data.

Capture XML data

The InterSystems IRIS has many built-in adapters to capture data, including the next ones:

1. File Adapter: used to get files from network folders.

I recently had the need to monitor from HealthConnect the records present in a NoSQL database in the Cloud, more specifically Cloud Firestore, deployed in Firebase. With a quick glance I could see how easy it would be to create an ad-hoc Adapter to make the connection taking advantage of the capabilities of Embedded Python, so I got to work.

Preparing the environment

To start, we need an instance of the database on which we can perform the tests. By accessing the Firebase console, we have created a new project to which we have added the Firestore database.

Introduction

There is a Link Procedure Wizard option within the Management Portal (System > SQL >Wizards > Link Procedure) which I had reliability issues with so I decided to use this solution instead.

Problem

You need to query an external SQL database to use the response within a namespace. This guide is assuming that you already have a working stored procedure in SSMS although you could instead use a SQL block within the operation. Stored procedures in SSMS are preferred to maintain integrity, Embedded SQL can get very confusing if you have a complicated SQL statement.

I was reading this article and I started to get lost in the sauce since I'm new to CCDA. I was wondering if you all had some recommendations for digging into some of the basics needed in order to assimilate this? For instance where it says "Some of the built-in logic for handling CCDAs is controlled by the IHE header....There is little visibility into this process in the product documentation." Are there examples or places where you have been able to find some insight into this sort of thing or maybe this is something that comes with experience?

InterSystems FAQ rubric

Record maps are used to efficiently map files containing delimited records or fixed-width records to message classes used by the interoperability function, and to map files from interoperability function message classes to text files.

Record map mapping definitions can be created using the Management Portal, and we also provide a CSV record wizard that allows you to define while reading a CSV file.

To use a record map in production, just add a record map business service or business operation and specify the record map definition class you created.

Hello,
First of all thanks for your time and help with this question.

We wonder how could we convert a String which represents an XML, to a class which extends from Ens.

When I try to run Interoperability -> Interface Maps in 2022.1 on a very large namespace, I keep getting timeout errors. Even though I add filtering by Category, Text Search, etc... it still errors out no matter what. However if it is ran in one of our smaller namespaces it runs just fine. WRC told us the namespace is too big, however that should not matter on how many services, processes, and operations you have running. 

• Has anyone had this issue with Interoperability - Interface Maps timing out because of the size of the namespace?

What are the advantages/disadvantages of using the Person resource with a link to the Patient and Practitioner resources, rather than using the Patient and Practitioner resources directly without using the Person resources?

The objective of the article is to provide the reader with the following informations:

• Configure and use the FHIR server
• Create an OAuth2 Authorization Server
• Bind the FHIR server to the OAuth2 Authorization Server for support of SMART on FHIR
• Use the interoperability capabilities of IRIS for Health to filter FHIR resources
• Create a custom operation on the FHIR server
