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 .

>> 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:

How to get it working.

Using IRIS 2024.1.2 when I mount the routine database as read-only I get an error when executing dynamic SQL queries.

What globals need to be mapped in a read-write database in order to allow execution plans to be written?

Hey,

I need to read a directory on a remote server which requires a user to be su. The question is how to correctly read the server response and then to send a su password using IRIS device I/O API (I'm able to read other commands output such as uname, but can't figure out how to switch to su):

// Init SSH session
Set ..Session = ##class(%Net.SSH.Session).%New()
Set status = ..Session.Connect(..Server)
$$$ThrowOnError(status)
Set status = ..Session.AuthenticateWithUsername(..UserName, ..Password)
$$$ThrowOnError(status)

// SUDO
#Dim device
Set device = ""
Set status = ..Session.Execute("su " _ ..UserName, .device) // Is this correct?
$$$ThrowOnError(status)
Use device

#Dim response      
Read !, "", response // Here I get a kind of infinite loop
Write ..Password

Close device

I'm experimenting with FHIR bulk data load using NDJSONs, so far the import is running smoothly, but when I'm trying to perform a request of kind /Patient or /Procedure I'm getting back the following error:

{
    "resourceType": "OperationOutcome",
    "issue": [
        {
            "severity": "error",
            "code": "too-costly",
            "diagnostics": "<HSFHIRErr>SearchTooCostly",
            "details": {
                "text": "Search selects more than maximum allowed number of results (1000)."
            }
        }
    ]
}

Hi Folks,

I am an architect working on a program involving Weblink. I am new to InterSystems and I am looking for information around basic capabilities of Weblink. I understand that the version we are dealing with (2014) is not supported no need to review that :).

Thank you,

Mike

Has anyone used this transform to convert SDA3 to HL7?

HS.Gateway.SDA3.SDA3ToHL7.ADTA0N

Seeing below error

Hi,

How to login Intersystems IRIS for Health SMP using SSO with OKTA auth.

Hi,

Has anyone used 'IO-Redirect' package?

https://openexchange.intersystems.com/package/io-redirect

IRIS for me runs on a Linux server.

I want the package to be able to supply "answers" from a Linux OS file in response to a program run as follows:
do ^ADMIN
I'm assuming that the program does objectscript reads from the terminal

Questions

1. Is docker required? Docker is not installed on the server.
2. Would the package be able to handle redirect I/O in this case?
    Would I have to write extra code (objectscript) to read the Linux file as a "stream"?
3. How would I  install the package?

Hello, Does the NodeJs package work when running a node js file on windows (nodejs for windows)? I've added the package by running npm install <package location folder>

I have the following index.js file, but when running from node (windows) I get the following error. Does the NodeJs package build the output files when the package is added or does it just assume linux as the underlying os?

Error: Cannot find module './bin/winx64/irisnative.

I already mentioned in a Previous post I am trying to build a list from a repeatable field within a HL7 message. I figured out how to build the list by using a context list string variable within the Business Process (BPL) and doing a

do

 when I am looping through the field. I want to do it one step farther though... I want to search the list to see if the value exists before I do the insert. I only want to insert if the value is different than what is in the list already.

IF$LF##class

I tried using $LF or $LISTFIND, but I keep getting the same error...

Hello,

as it took me some time to figure out what's wrong, I would like to share this experience, so that you do not fall into the same trap.

I've just noticed that if you name your package "code" (all lowercase), in a class using some embedded python using [Language = python], you'll face the <THROW> *%Exception.PythonException <PYTHON EXCEPTION> 246 <class 'ModuleNotFoundError'>: No module named 'code.basics'; 'code' is not a package

It works well with "Code" :

As of InterSystems IRIS® data platform version 2025.1, InterSystems is officially deprecating MultiValue and including it in the Deprecated and Discontinued Features list. While InterSystems will continue to support existing customers using MultiValue, it is not recommended for new applications.

What This Means for You:

• Continued Support: Support for MultiValue will still be available through the Worldwide Response Center (WRC) on a "best effort" basis, as is provided for releases older than our Minimum Supported Versions.

In 2023, according to IDC, Salesforce's market share in CRM reached 21.7%. This company owns a substantial amount of critical corporate business processes and data, so the InterSystems IRIS must have an interoperability connector to fetch data from the Salesforce data catalog. This article will show you how to get any data hosted by Salesforce and create an interoperation production to get data and send it to such targets as files and relational databases.

Introduction

To achieve optimized AI performance, robust explainability, adaptability, and efficiency in healthcare solutions, InterSystems IRIS serves as the core foundation for a project within the x-rAI multi-agentic framework. This article provides an in-depth look at how InterSystems IRIS empowers the development of a real-time health data analytics platform, enabling advanced analytics and actionable insights. The solution leverages the strengths of InterSystems IRIS, including dynamic SQL, native vector search capabilities, distributed caching (ECP), and FHIR interoperability. This innovative approach directly aligns with the contest themes of "Using Dynamic SQL & Embedded SQL," "GenAI, Vector Search," and "FHIR, EHR," showcasing a practical application of InterSystems IRIS in a critical healthcare context.

How to send the HL7 Batch messages over a SOAP webservice which takes 3 credentials(Username, Password& Org.ID) using IRIS Management Portal V 2019.1?

WSDL   xsd : element - 1.Username , 2.Password ,3.Org.ID ,4.HL7 Message.

Info I had -  

Source is CSV File will be translated to HL7 using data Transformations. All the transformed messages need to be sent to destination System through SOAP request as a single Batch File.

Challenge faced was - How to send the request message (Message Structure asked : Username , Password, Org.ID and HL7 message )in batch transformation.

I'm looking for some simple heuristics to estimate the size on disk of a database based on average size of messages, number of messages per day and purge frequency. The purpose is for estimation of disk space requirements.

Clearly this is a how long is a piece of string question but for example, if you have a simple HL7 routing production that does nothing but process HL7. It receives 10,000 HL7v2 messages per day (all approx 1kb on the wire) in a single service, passes them to a single router and outputs to a single operation.

Hi,
I want to automate a menu based program for which I don't have the source

If I run it interactively I do this:
do ^<program>

It presents a menu and then you can go down further menus

Based on the selection it may ask for answers to other questions.

Is there some way I give the program a "response" file?

If not would I be able to use I/O redirection for this task?
Inputs would come from a file.
Output should go to the terminal (so I monitor how far the process has gone)

I have seen some examples of redirection code and it seems quite complicated.

Hi All,

How can I customize the file path of my FTP outbound adapter.

I have a custom business operation that extends "EnsLib.FTP.InboundAdapter", in which I need to update the file path of my FTP server location.

Hello everyone

For those interested, here is an implementation example I used in one of my projects to interoperate with MongoDB using the pymongo package.

iris-mongodb

Interoperates with MongoDB (via pymongo package) with InterSystems IRIS (including outbound adapter)

Remember to import package.

implementation example for testing

NAMESPACE> do ##class(custom.python.pymongo.test).TestMongoDBCrud()

for interoperability, use the following adapter in your business operation:

Parameter ADAPTER = "custom.python.pymongo.outboundAdapter";

Parameter INVOCATION = "Queue";

Long shot but is there a way to see which user created an Operation (for example) in Iris?

Anyone know how to subtract three hours from  $ZDATETIME($HOROLOG,3)?

If $ZDATETIME($HOROLOG,3) returns 2025-01-30 10:17:04, I would like $ZDATETIME($HOROLOG,3) - 3 hours to return 2025-01-30 07:17:04

What is the recommended library for converting documents to pdf. Any suggestions welcome has anyone out there had a use case where they had to convert documents to pdf .What worked for them .I have asked WRC for the best practice and they have recommended that may be  a sale engineer might have an answer to this .

Hello everyone!

I have set up an EnsLib.REST.GenericService with an  EnsLib.HTTP.InboundAdapter which forwards the http requests received by a web app to my Business Process. 

I would like to parse HTTP multipart/form messages I am receving and be able to iterate over the various fields within the request body, accessing its content type and the content itself.

As far as I understand I should use the %Net.MIMEReader class which should return a list of %Net.MIMEPart, one for each field within the request. However if I do : 

Set##class%Net.MIMEReader
