#InterSystems IRIS for Health

Hi Developers!

Recently we published on Docker Hub images for InterSystems IRIS Community Edition and InterSystems IRIS Community for Health containers.

What is that?

There is a repository that publishes it, and in fact, it is the same container IRIS Community Edition containers you have on official InterSystems listing which have the pre-loaded ObjectScript Package Manager (ZPM) client.

So if you run this container with IRIS CE or IRIC CE for Health you can immediately start using ZPM and install packages from Community Registry or any others.

What does this mean for you?

It means, that anyone can deploy any of your InterSystems ObjectScript application in 3 commands:

• run IRIS container;
• open terminal;
• install your application as ZPM package.

It is safe, fast and cross-platform.

It's really handy if you want to test a new interesting ZPM package and not harm any of your systems.

Suppose, you have docker-desktop installed. You can run the image, which wiil pull the latest container if you don't have it locally:

Google has one intersting tool named Data Studio. This tool allows creating some interactive dashboards, based on your data, available from the internet. It already offers hundreds of connectors to any sort of data developed by the community. As well as some amount of community developed visualizing. And most importantly, Google offers a way to develop your own connector to your data.

FHIRaaS provides a REST API, and it's available from the internet. So I've decided to try to create some basic report on data stored there. And in the end, I got this.

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.

As I said in the previous article, I started to learn about FHIR for the contest, and I'd like to share an update in my application: detection of inconsistencies in FHIR data.

InterSystems FAQ rubric

ObjectScript allows you to pass any number of arguments using arrays. Do it by adding ... after the argument name.

An example is as follows. In the example statement, the argument information is set in a global variable (a variable stored in the database) so that it can be easily checked after the method is executed.

Background

Most websites have a "Fav.ico" file that sets what the icon is for the webpage. Most users have multiple environments, Dev/Test/Live. Often it can be difficult at a glance to see which environment you are in at a time. Wouldn't it be nice to visually see what version you are in? In this example all the instances are called the same and are named "ENSEMBLE". Note that this is certainly IRIS FOR HEALTH as is used on 2022.1

The default Icon is IR

When creating custom Business Hosts, it's often necessary to add properties to the class for additional settings that will be used in the initialization or operation of the host. The property name itself isn't always very descriptive, so it's an advantage to have a custom caption display with the field.

In Caché, it was fairly straightforward:

Methods written in ObjectScript can use pass-by-reference arguments to return information to the caller. Python doesn’t support pass-by-reference arguments, so Embedded Python in IRIS doesn’t support them either. That's it, that's the end of the post, hope you liked it. 😉 But wait, what about the Classic Rock & Roll?

This is an attempt to run a vector search demo completely in IRIS
There are no external tools and all you need is a Terminal / Console and the management portal.
Special thanks to Alvin Ryanputra as his package iris-vector-search that was the base
of inspiration and the source for test data.

InstallFoundation method is missing (IRIS 2023.2+)

Recently IRIS 2023.2 was released. This version removed this method InstallFoundation from this class HS.HC.Util.Installer. This was a private method and it was not documented. But it was widely used by the community to install FHIR server.

So if you encounter this error:

<METHOD DOES NOT EXIST> *InstallFoundation,HS.HC.Util.Installer

While build a demo our your own FHIR server, you can fix it by replacing this line:

Description

With InterSystems IRIS FHIR Server you can build a Strategy to customize the behavior of the server (see documentation for more details).

This repository contains a Python Strategy that can be used as a starting point to build your own Strategy in python.

This demo strategy provides the following features:

• Update the capability statement to remove the Account resource
• Simulate a consent management system to allow or not access to the Observation resource
  • If the User has sufficient rights, the Observation resource is returned
  • Otherwise, the Observation resource is not returned

### Summary:

InterSystems FAQ rubric

You can set individual error pages for the following Web Gateway error messages/system responses:

• server error
• server busy
• server unavailable
• server timeout
• connection closed

Settings are made on the Web Gateway Management screen ([Management Portal] > [System Administration] > [Configuration] > [Web Gateway Management] > [Configuration] > [Default Parameters]).

In the Error Page section of the Default Parameters menu, set the filename of the html page to display or the URL to redirect to when an error occurs.
