Hi!
I have installed IRIS 2024.1 in RHEL 9.5, using the following 

Hello interface engineers and app developers,     

Did you know that you can use Python in productions or integrations?

The production configuration user interface is low-code, but in many projects, you may reach a point where you need to write some code. As discussed in the Integration Architecture course, business processes are full of places for inserting code, specifically the BPL editor (for BPL business processes) and the DTL editor (for data transformations).

Greetings,

Is it possible to change the date format from YYYYMMDDHHMMSS to YYYYMMDD in a DTL? How?

I tried ConvertDateTime() without success. 

I'm using Iris for Health

Thank you!

I have a HL7 DTL in which I'm doing a lookup to a table based on a code value in the IN1:3 field.  That incoming code may have a 1 to 1 mapping, or 1 to many mapping in a table.  If it's a 1 to many, the values in the lookup table are comma delimited.  If it's 1 to 1, that IN1 segment will map straight across.  If it's one to many, I need to create additional IN1 segments.  For example, if the incoming code maps to three, I need to map the original IN1 segment with one of the mapped codes, then create two additional IN1 segments with the other 2 codes for a total of 3 IN1 segments.  I'd like

⏯  FHIR Lessons Learned From the Field @ Global Summit 2024

I was using VSCode to edit a DTL because it seemed easier to copy/paste code from parts of the DTL I was editing. I tried to add <sql> tag and code to call a SELECT statement, but when I compiled I got the following error...

ERROR <Ens>ErrInvalidDTL: Invalid DTL

  > ERROR #5490: Error running generator for method 'GetSourceDocType:osuwmc.Epic.MFN.DTL.EpicMFN949002Normalization'

ERROR: Ens.DataTransformDTL.cls(GetSourceDocType) of generated code compiling subclass 'osuwmc.Epic.MFN.DTL.EpicMFN949002Normalization'

InterSystems FAQ rubric

This can be done with TRY-CATCH:

#dim ex As%Exception.AbstractExceptionTRY {
    //Code that causes an error
  }
  CATCH ex {
     do ex.Log()
  }

If you use ^%ETN, call it from the BACK entry (BACK^%ETN).

Once upon a time in Ensemble Management Portal the pool size of each component (Business Host) within the production was displayed in the Production Configuration page.

This information was very useful, especially when a production have tens or hundreds of components.

Now days the pool size is no longer displayed in the Production Configuration page and to get the pool size you need to click in each and every host in your production.
What if you have hundreds of business hosts and you need to check the pool size of each? It's a nightmare!

Hello,

I'm using the .Net C# IRIS client and trying to create a HS.Data.OIDMap object which contains a $LIST property (.IdentityTypes). I am able to create the object using the .NET client, however when trying to create and assign the list object I get a "List cannot contain of type IrisObject".
Documentation for HS.Data.OIDMap https://docs.intersystems.com/irisforhealth20243/csp/documatic/%25CSP.Documatic.cls?LIBRARY=HSSYS&PRIVATE=1&CLASSNAME=HS.Data.OIDMap 

My question is two fold

The FHIR standard establishes a powerful but flexible data model that can smoothly adapt to the complexities of operational healthcare data management. This flexibility comes at the cost of a data model with many tables and relationships, even for simple data such as the patient's record of telephone numbers, addresses, and emails. It would easily require querying 4 different tables. However, FHIR SQL Builder eliminates this problem, allowing you to create visual projections (mappings) in web wizards. It lets you consolidate data from 4 or more tables into just 1 and gives you the advantage of

I have two instances of IRIS, one is Production and another one is Staging (both managed by Docker) and I want to set up a full daily recover of the Staging server from a full backup of the Production server. I know how to do this manually using the DBREST utility, as well as how to make a copy of the database by making a full copy of the durable directory (however this option requires a full stop of the Production-database). What is the best way to automatically restore all databases from a full backup using scripting?

The VS Code extension development team is looking for beta testers to provide feedback on a proposed overhaul of the client-side editing workflow. The full list of changes can be found in the GitHub pull request description. Here are the highlights:

Hi,

My HL7 interface in production is outputting messages to a HL7 File Operation and a  EnsLib.HL7.Operation.HTTPOperation. There is no errors in the File Operation, but the HL7 HTTPOperation is giving ERROR #5911: Character Set 'iso-8859-4' not installed, unable to perform character set translation.  Both the HL7 File Operation and HL7 HTTP Operation are using latin1 for Default Char Encoding.

What is ERROR #5911 about? Is something missing in the IRIS installation? 

Thank you.

I have the need to query an external database and write the result set/snapshot to an internal %Persistent [ DdlAllowed ] table that I built. I have built inbound SQL Services before and write them externally to replace SSIS jobs, but how would querying a database via a Service and writing the data to an internal table work?

Can I just take the inbound query structure and write it to the class file of the internal table in a DTL? If so, what would be the Target? Or does this need to be done within a BPL as a Code block?

Hi experts,
Please, do you know steps to analyse and correct this alarm?

Hi guys,

I am looking for a way to search for FHIR Encounter resources from an InterSystems FHIR server where there period.start is before or after a certain time. I can´t get my head around which would be a correct way to do this since docs and FHIR spec is not clear to me which fields can be used for searching with wich prefixes.

Hi Community,

There is a new PDF Resource published on our official site depicting key features and a comparison of InterSystems healthcare interoperability products: Health Connect and IRIS For Health.

>> https://www.intersystems.com/health-data-integration-chart.pdf

I think this could be useful for the Community.

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a practical project guide to help me gain hands-on experience with InterSystems Ensemble HL7. Ideally, this guide would walk through building a small project — something that covers key concepts like message routing, transformations, and interoperability.

If there's a resource that also includes step-by-step instructions and perhaps even offers a certification upon completion, that would be perfect.

Any recommendations or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! 😊

Hi colleagues!

Often, while developing a frontend app or any other communication vs REST API, it is worth having a Swagger UI - a test UI for the REST API that follows Open API 2.0 spec. Usually, it is quite a handful as it lets have quick manual tests vs REST API and its responses and the data inside.

Recently I've introduced the Swagger support to the InterSystems IRIS FHIR template for FHIR R4 API:
