#InterSystems IRIS for Health

Hi Community

I'm working on a complex piece of rules that needs to check each OBX and evaluate if 3 of the fields match certain criteria. I've tried to achieve this using a Foreach loop, which does work, however it is not as clean as I wanted it. I was hoping I could assign temp variables inside the foreach loop to make the rules more easier to read, for example @testCode @resultText. This is not support as you can only assign inside a when condition. Before I raise this as an idea, i wondered if there was an alternative way to achieve the same thing?

I seem to remember making this work before, but I'm not having any luck digging up examples.

I've defined some custom properties for a business operation that could definitely benefit from having popup descriptions available in the Production Configuration. I have triple-slash comments before each property that do just that in the source. I thought those provided the text for the popup descriptions when clicking on the property name, but apparently not.

Any thoughts?

Hello Community,

Is there a programmatic method or specific property to differentiate system-defined (/csp/altelier , /api/mgmnt and so on)  or user-defined web applications in IRIS?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I'm working with JavaScript in InterSystems IRIS, specifically in CSP pages. One issue I'm running into during development is that the browser keeps loading the cached version of my JavaScript files, even after I’ve made changes or recompiled the code.
I would have to clear my cache files or browser history for it to reload and work.

The below code is not working. its unable retrieve Record count and merge files

Class Util

{

ClassMethod zPyRecordCount(inputfile) As %Integer [ Language = python ]

{

    import pandas as pd

    import iris

    import io

    try:

        df = pd.read_csv(inputfile, sep='|')

        recordcount=len(df.index)

        sys.stdout.write(len(df.index))

        return recordcount

    except Exception as e:

        return 0

}

Hi noble devs!

Just building a simple frontend->JSON->IRIS backend story, and figured that IRIS while importing via %JSON.Adaptor wants JSON fields to match property names, meaning even should match the case. Like:

{ name: "John", 

surname: "Doe"}

will have issues while saving the dynamic object to a class Sample.Person with:

Class Sample.Person Extends (%Persistent, %JSON.Adaptor)

{

Property Name: %Sting;Property Surname: %String;
}

As soon as the case is not the same...

Hello Community,

When handling a %CSP.REST API response for a custom endpoint, how can I capture or access the response content before it is written to the output buffer and sent through the Web Gateway to the UI?

In manually created REST services (for example, with a route like:<Route Url="/test" Method="POST" Call="User.Sample:Test" Cors="true"/> ),
the response is typically written from within any class method in the execution flow.

Is there a way to intercept or log the response content before it is sent to the client?

Thanks!

I'm running the image "containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/irishealth-community:2025.1" as a container on my local Docker desktop.

Now I want to set up an ODBC SQL connection, but I don't know how to do it.

I have tried various ways without success. Like building my own image (see "Dockerfile" description below).

I have also added ODBCINI variable in my docker-compse (see "Docker-compose.yml" description below).

Anyone done this before?

I'd really appreciate some help.

Thanks.

I'm confused about the differences between a namespace and a database.

I understand that a database is a single IRIS.DATA file in a directory in the os hosting IRIS.

What is the difference between a namespace and a database?

Can I write data into a database without specifying a namespace?
If so how do I write to a particlar DB in objectscript?

Does a database have to be in a namespace?
Can a database be in more than one namespace?

Can a namespace have only one 'routine' database and only one 'data' database?

Whats the significance of creating an Index with Data Keyword in Index

My HL7 message got "AR" (rejected ack code) and went to the suspended queue.  I re-submitted it (without editing it) but forgot to write down the details before doing so.  It got "AA" and everything works fine from there.

Now (the next day) I want to check with the downstream system why they returned "AR" initially.  Is there a way to search for the original message the got an "AR", along with any returned error message please?

Thanks

Good day 

I am trying to connect a business service to fileZilla using FTP on my local PC Win 11.

I am trying to setup my training after attending the Building HL7 interfaces course with ISC.

The connection is failing. He is the error below

ERROR <Ens>ErrOutConnectFailed: FTP Connect failed for localhost:21//SSL=' with error ERROR <Ens>ErrFTPConnectFailed: FTP: Failed to connect to server 'localhost:21//SSL='/' (msg='Missing required argument',code=501)

Hi ISC Experts,

I'm in the process of setting up InterSystems IRIS for HealthShare with database mirroring, and I’d appreciate some guidance around how to handle an existing ODBC connection in this new setup.

Scenario:

I need to connect to a SFTP server and I seem to connect and timeout have tested the connection using File-zilla and the connection was successful but the problem is when I try to connect using the FTP in bound adapter service I get the following errors.

ERROR <Ens>ErrOutConnectExpired: FTP Connect timeout period (120) expired for ***************.com:990/******/SSL='********* + ERROR <Ens>ErrFTPConnectFailed: FTP: Failed to connect to server ***************.com:990/******/SSL='********* (msg='Timeout waiting for response',code=529)

Hi,

I want to write a program to:

- list all defined namespaces

- for each namespace, the databases making up the namespace

Python would be ideal but ObjectScript is OK.

Would someone know how to do this?

Thanks

I have an application that is requires an Encoded HL7 message sent over SOAP over HTTPS using SSL/TLS... the Response that is return is also encoded, which I know how to Decode but not sure when I Decode the response how to Extract the HL7 message to send back to the router.

How do I capture the Routing Source System and parse the encoded message back into an HL7 format that would show on the trace viewer?

Below is an example...where I get the response and want to send it back to FeederScottRouting as an HL7 message that can be tied to the Parent ID of the sending request message?

We have a vendor that is requiring that the HL7 sent to them is sent as an Encoded message inside a SOAP request but is sending back an HL7 message as the response. 

When the WSDL built the response, it was expecting an encoded message back. I updated the Request and Business Operation to expect an EnsLib.HL7.Message, however I am not sure how to handle the HL7 ACK to post it back to the sending message so it will not cause an Orphan message, and to parse it back correctly in the trace viewer.

When I do a $$$LOGINFO on the pResponse, I get back...

I am trying to add a value to my concatenation string and the value is not being inserted in the right place. I am adding onto this code from another developer and cannot seem to get it to work. The only code I have added is underlined in bold red.

This is how the translated HL7 message looks:

OBX|1|CE|CDX^History||Specimen 1 Clinical History: CLINICAL HISTORY\.br\\.br\Specimen 2 Clinical History: CLINICAL HISTORY 2\.br\Specimen 1 Suspected Clinical Diagnosis\.br\Specimen 3 Clinical History: HISTORY 3\.br\Specimen 2 Suspected Clinical Diagnosis

This is how it should look:
