#InterSystems IRIS for Health

For those that, at some point, need to test what means that of ECP for horizontal escalability (computing power and/or users and processes concurrency), but they're lazy o have no much time to build the environment, configure the server nodes, etc..., I've just published in Open Exchange the app/sample OPNEx-ECP Deployment .

UnitedHealth Group is looking for an IRIS expert to help guide our development team, providing subject matter expertise and sound software design skills.

This is a permanent, full-time, 100% telecommuting position.  The job will be a mixture of software design, consulting and hands-on development.  The ideal candidate will have excellent communication skills, a solid understanding of computer science and be an energetic team player.

Hi folks 

We are upgrading TrakCare from 2017 version to 2020, when I tried to reconnect our applications with new upgraded environment through IRIS ODBC driver instead of cahe ODBC driver I got this error: "the driver doesn't support the version of ODBC behavior that the application requested" while it is working fine with cache driver. Any help please ?

Dear Community Members,

Has someone built some kind of Adapter (or other related components) to interact with Couchbase?

Something sharable?

What connection method did you choose - for example REST API / .Net or Java SDK?

Thanks!

LS,

Does anyone already has an installation kit for the IRIS for Health running on an MacBook with Apple M1 Cores? Docker I already got, I'm looking for the local install version.

Regards,

Joost

I am currently running a docker image with Iris 2021.1 and I would like to install node js on to it. I have had a look at the instructions on the intersystems online learning portal and I must say its very confusing. Some of the documentation says that you can only install it on 2019. Other parts say that it doesn't matter and you can install it if you have a dev directory. I checked my dev directory and there it isn't there. Sadly this is very inconsistent. Does anyone know if it is possible to install on the above mentioned version of Iris ?

Hi Guys，do we hv any 3rd party UI screen design software that works well with IRIS or we recommend? Thx!

Does anybody know if it should be possible to install IRIS for Health on a MacBook with Apple M1 inside? The install distribution works on an Intel based MacBook but when I try on new MacBook (with Apple M1) I get the following response:
 

The installer can't find a platform in this distribution supported by your system.

Contact InterSystems support.

Is there any way (on a Window machine) to rename an installed instance?  I installed my instance as 20201 and now I've upgraded in place to 2020.4 and I would like to change the instance name to be 20204, but I'm not sure how/where/or-even-if-possible to rename the instance.

Am I out of luck, or is this possible?

Thanks

Welcome to day 3 of Virtual Summit 2021!  We have incredible content available to you this year and I'd just like to bring your attention to the 4(!) sessions that we have on Embedded Python.

• Introduction to Embedded Python - What is Embedded Python and Why is it awesome
• Embedded Python for ObjectScript developers - A technical deep dive into using Python and ObjectScript together inside IRIS
• Embedded Python with Interoperability - Covers how to use Embedded Python to create your own custom interoperability components.

Looking at my old articles recently. I saw an undeservedly forgotten program that can significantly increase the security of your system by not allowing the user to use old passwords when changing.

To meet the requirements of section 8.2.5 PCI DSS "Prohibit the use of old passwords", a small application has been implemented that will be launched by the system when a user tries to change a password and check if it was used before.

You can install the program from the terminal and from the management portal interface

Open IRIS terminal:

docker-compose exec iris iris session iris
.

I recently published the "appmsw-docbook" module for deploying the solution not by individual programs, but by the entire database. This solution allows you to deploy a project without source codes.

Having received feedback, I decided to improve it significantly. Replaced zip archive with tgz, which will allow not using external system-dependent archivers.

Implemented a method for preparing an archive of a database and its dependent web applications. And the deployment archive itself is assembled as a zpm module into which the utility for deploying the database is replicated.

InterSystems IRIS is a Data Platform with a lot of features. These features and relevant topics about IRIS is represented in the periodic table elements.

Developing the project zpm "install isc-apptools-lockdown" implemented the ability to set the security level not only to lockdown, but also to minimum and normal.

Increasing security settings

You can replace the shared password if the password of the predefined system users has been compromised

USER>do ##class(appmsw.security.lockdown).ChangePassword("NewPass231",##class(appmsw.security.lockdown).GetPreparedUsers())

Apply Security settings to "LockDown"

USER>do ##class(appmsw.security.lockdown).

Hi all, 
Just wondering if there's a quick way to get the DocType, without knowing it in advance, from a message body by building a string from the VersionID, MessageType, and TriggerEvent fields? (Similar to how it might be done dynamically in Rhapsody)
Can this then be used to set the DocType for a source message?
If this is not the best practice what is a suitable alternative approach?
Thanks for your help,
Ben

FHIR Terminology Service specification describes a set of operations on CodeSystem, ValueSet and ConceptMap resources. Among those operations, the following four operations appear to be the most widely adopted ones:

Developing a partial implementation of the specification has been an effective way to explore the new FHIR framework introduced in IRIS for Health 2020.1. The implementation includes four operations listed above, and supports read and search interactions for CodeSystem and ValueSet resources.

It's important to note that the implementation uses plain ObjectScript persistent classes as source terminology tables.

A vendor is sending an HL7 message where they are hitting the enter key within the field. I am looking for a way to concatenate the lines.  I want to know if there id a way to search the field for a carriage return and piece together the field.  This is an example of what they are sending:

NTE|1||Fake Interpretation A Overall Summary. Patient presents with abnormal SR and RHR. 
Fake Interpretation B 80/120
Fake Interpretation C  - HR 55 BPM|

November 19, 2021 - Advisory: Apache Web Server provided with InterSystems kits – Vulnerability reports

InterSystems kits include an Apache web server, which provides a convenient way for customers to interact with the Caché/IRIS Management Portal without needing to install an external web server; however, this web server should never be used for production instances, and customers must install a web server that fits their specific needs and security/risk requirements.

Recent tests have noted some security issues with the currently included Apache web server.

Hi,

I am getting Failed to fetch error while calling FHIR accelerator service - API Development service

I have just created a new Global Master Topic, "IRIS Cheatsheets". IRIS has introduced a lot of new functionality, especially in scripting languages, FHIR R4 support, enhanced Interoperability Tools, and IRIS Analytics. Having spent 35 years working on Windows-based PC's and Laptops, I have surprisingly little knowledge of Linux, Docker and Git. Furthermore, I have written almost every application and Interface in ObjectScript with splatterings of SQL, .Net, and Java Gateways and the most basic knowledge of WinSCP, Putty, SSH. All that changed when I received my first Raspberry Pi.

Hi,

I want to activate encryption and I also generated encryption key but Encrypt database option is disabled. How to enabled this option?

We have CSP deployed using CACHE and after research, though it's still supported, CSP isn't recommended for production.  What is Intersystems recommended direction?

EnsLib.HL7.Adapter.TCPInboundAdapter has a Connected property that I assume is set to the state of the connection session with the remote host; i.e. 1 when Connected, 0 when not. I'm assuming this is the property the Production Configuration web page uses to display the state of the service (green for Connected, red for not Connected, etc.).

How can I interrogate the value of that property of an active service, via a method running in separate process?

(It really seems like I should know this, but I'm just not finding the right magical incantation)

Hello, Complete novice here.

For some reason one of my productions can't be stopped, it only goes to the suspended state. This is an issue because now I'm not able to start any of my other productions. How can I force the suspended production to stop? I have tried Do ##class(Ens.Director).StopProduction() in the terminal, but I get an error the class doesn't exist.

How can I fix this issue?

Hi Developers! As part of an internal company hackathon at InterSystems, I'd love community feedback on a few topics. Feel free to chime on any/all of these via comment or direct message to me.

1. If you were to launch a new application/project, what problems would you need to solve right off the bat? What technologies would you use? Why?
2. What are the most common and repeated problems that you find yourself solving?
3. Where in InterSystems' technologies do you spend most of your time?
4. In a solution you have recently implemented, how were your time/efforts allocated? (e.g.
