Finally and with a little delay, we conclude this series of articles about our Workflow Engine by showing an example of the connection that we could make from a mobile application.
In the previous article we showed the example that we were going to discuss, an application that allows detailed control of a chronic pathology such as hypertension for both the patient and their associated doctor.
Hello Everyone,
The Certification Team of InterSystems Learning Services is developing an InterSystems ObjectScript Specialist certification exam, and we are reaching out to our community for feedback that will help us evaluate and establish the contents of this exam. Please note that this is one of two exams being developed to replace our InterSystems IRIS Core Solutions Developer exam. You can find more details about our InterSystems IRIS Developer Professional exam here.
How do I provide my input? Complete our Job Task Analysis (JTA) survey!
After upgrading we had 2 major problems with the new version:
- Resending messages adds blank lines.
Because we have many HL7 processes, we regulary have to resend messages if there is an outage of a server we connect with.
- IIS recycling causes webgateway connection problems, after change from PWS to IIS.
At unexpected times a connection can no longer be made.
The strange thing is that it does not occur with every recycle of the application pool.
Setting the password again in csp.ini usually works, but not always, which is of course a major problem.

I am trying to work with the FHIR Object Model where I convert an incoming HL7v2 to SDA then FHIR. From here I would like to be able to process the FHIR Object by deserializing it to a Bundle object using the following code my problem is I keep on getting an error which is not explaining much about what is wrong with what I am doing any help will be appreciated thanks.

This is the sequel to Data Collection. If you have not had a chance to go through and install that you should first do that.
What is provided here is the analysis for the collection of that data that was collected earlier.
In much the same way as was done in that repository you will need to import the xml that makes up this repository.
Starting at the topmost level there is a task:
This task will allow us to set parameters that we will be monitoring. They are as follows:
GrowthPercentageWarning: What percentage growth is 'acceptable' for a global to grow.
Here we will document how you can get the results of your Data Collection to be displayed graphically. The output of your project will look like this:
Note that I am working on a local machine. If you are doing this on a server then be aware to use the correct IP address.
First, we will import the three classes from the that we are going to need (note that we will edit them later):
You can take the xml and import it to your system.
The spec will actually create the dispatch class and implementation template.
Hi Community,
Watch this video to see how HL7® FHIR® Implementation Guides allow you to restrict or extend APIs, resources, and terminologies:
New in version 2023.3 (of InterSystems IRIS for Health) is a capability to perform FHIR profile-based validation.
(*)
In this article I'll provide a basic overview of this capability.
If FHIR is important to you, you should definitely try out this new feature, so read on.
Beginning with the release of InterSystems IRIS® data platform 2022.3, InterSystems corrected the license enforcement mechanism to include REST and SOAP requests. Due to this change, environments with non-core-based licenses that use REST or SOAP may experience greater license utilization after upgrading. To determine if this advisory applies to your InterSystems license, follow the instructions in the FAQ linked below.
This table summarizes the enforcement:

REST & SOAP requests included in license enforcement? |
To disable the timeout, set the query timeout to disabled in the DSN settings:
Windows Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Data Sources (ODBC) > System DSN configuration
If you check Disable query timeout, the timeout will be disabled.
If you want to change it on the application side, you can set it at the ODBC API level.
Set the SQL_ATTR_QUERY_TIMEOUT attribute when calling the ODBC SQLSetStmtAttr function before connecting to the data source.
I am attempting to make a FHIR call against the Epic Repository through Intersystems. I have setup a Service client per Create FHIR REST Client | InterSystems Developer Community | Business
but I have set it up using OAuth and HTTPS.

I have verified that the OAuth works by executing it manually via a Terminal to verify I get a response. Of course, when I do it is writing to the ISCLOG

I am trying to now test making the FHIR call by initiating the test of HS.FHIRServer.Interop.HTTPOperation, however I keep getting mixed results with first a 404 not found error, and now a 401 unauthorized error.

Hi folks,
I am working on a customer project which uses some slightly altered FHIR resources in comparison to default R4 patient resource. I am able to import the structuedefinition as a custom FHIR package and assign it to the ISC FHIR server and the endpoint the IRIS instance provides.
My question is - what is the benefit of using such a custom profil only defining some changes on a resources default definition (e.g. in field optionality)? From my understanding the ISC FHIR server does not validate resources it receives.
Hi,
I have succesfully installed IRIS client on MacOS (see bottom half of this post). What's next? How do I access the menu to launch IRIS Client, access Studio, and connect to remote server etc??
Thanks,

Receiving HL7 messages from our EMR, and processing to send out to downstream system. These are SIU_S12 messages, with a custom ZOR segment added by the EMR to include order information. The purpose of including this segment is to allow us to only send messages to the vendor that contain a procedure ID that is included on the list of procedures desired by the vendor. These values are in a LUT with the procedure ID in the key field, and a value of 1.
The TIMESTAMP type corresponds to the %Library.TimeStamp data type (=%TimeStamp) in InterSystems products, and the format is YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.nnnnnnnnn.
If you want to change the precision after the decimal point, set it using the following method.
1) Set system-wide

I want to customized retry frequency of transaction so that 503 error can be prevented while pushing FHIR bundle to the LFS.
How do I achieve this?
Reference the following algorithm to increase the retry interval of IRIS transaction
An exponential backoff algorithm retries requests exponentially, increasing the waiting time between retries up to a maximum backoff time. The following algorithm implements truncated exponential backoff with jitter:
random-fraction seconds, then retry the request.Hi Team,
I am trying to use the inbuilt class: EnsLib.HL7.Service.FileService to pass through an HL7 ADT message as a part of an HL7 to FHIR transformation. We have a client requirement, where we are receiving an NTE segment as a part of the ADT message. I am trying to map the NTE segment to an OBX Segment. I need to implement a counter for OBX segment whenever a NTE segment is found and map the NTE fields to the new OBX segment
How do I implement the counter for OBX?
Thanks

Hi Community,
Here is a brief walkthrough on the capabilities of IRIS AI Studio platform. It covers one complete flow from loading data into IRIS DB as vector embeddings and retrieving information through 4 different channels (search, chat, recommender and similarity). In the latest release, added docker support for local installation and live version to explore.
Hi,
I use the data functions but don't know what they all do. Is there a dictionary that explains what each function does?

Thanks,

InterSystems is pleased to announce the general availability of:
This release adds support for the Ubuntu 24.04 operating system. Ubuntu 24.04 includes Linux kernel 6.8, security improvements, along with installer and user interface improvements. InterSystems IRIS IntegratedML is not yet available on Ubuntu 24.04.
Additionally, this release addresses two defects for all platforms:
In Cache End of file throws error but in IRIS no indication of End of file. I have to do an explicit $ZOF. How are you handling/detecting End of File in IRIS?
In cache this line will throw End of file error -
But in IRIS this goes to forever, has anyone noticed this behaviour in IRIS?

In the previous article, we saw different modules in IRIS AI Studio and how it could help explore GenAI capabilities out of IRIS DB seamlessly, even for a non-technical stakeholder. In this article, we will deep dive into "Connectors" module, the one that enables users to seamlessly load data from local or cloud sources (AWS S3, Airtable, Azure Blob) into IRIS DB as vector embeddings, by also configuring embedding settings like model and dimensions.
Howdy all,
I'm very new to intersystems, therefore I'm seeing some suggestions here.
My query - I'd like to setup monitoring for IRIS local database size monitoring using SolarWinds. Preferably, using REST API connections, could someone help with this. Thank you in advance.
