Question Scott Roth · Aug 9, 2023

Still working on my first External REST API call, and I am struggling to find the exact answer I am looking for... I get a JSON response from my API call but I am not quite sure how to dynamically get the JSON response into the Ens.Response Object with its lists of Arrays that I have defined.

  set tSC = ..Adapter.SendFormDataArray(.tHTTPResposne,"POST",tHTTPRequest,,,tURL)

  set pResponse = ##class(User.REST.Epic.Msg.GetPatientLocationResponse).%New()

  set dynObject = {}.%FromJSON(tHTTPResposne.Data)

  set iter = dynObject.%GetIterator()

  while iter.%GetNext(.

Currently, the SQL privileges (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) are managed at the tables level, which can be very tedious when you have to administer many roles in an organization, and need to keep them sync with a constantly evolving data models.
By managing privileges at the schemas level, will allow to give SELECT and other DML privileges to *all* or *several schemas* to a role|user, fixing the need to manually synchronize the new tables|views to the roles.

If you agree, I invite you to vote for this idea.

Question Robert Bielen · Aug 25, 2023

Hi Everyone

I'm just wondering if anyone might have a list (or the experience to make a list) of the most often used / useful Reply Code Actions?

In the Help section of Health Connect Management Portal, it lists 

'E=F' and ':?R=RF,:?E=S,:~=S,:?A=C,:*=S,:I?=W,:T?=C'

as the default options, though I'm curious if anyone else has found other codes or strings of codes useful?

Thanks in advance. 

Best wishes

Robert

Question Christine Nyamu · Aug 31, 2023

I need to search for the following values "SEDATION:  " and "Procedure" In consecutive OBX 5 as seen below. Note that sometimes the OBX 5 containing "Procedure" may be followed by other characters/text hence I am leaning towards using a contains statement. 

OBX|028|TX|OP^Operative Note^D4D^11504-8^Surgical operation note^XXX||SEDATION:  ||||||C|
OBX|029|TX|OP^Operative Note^D4D^11504-8^Surgical operation note^XXX||Procedure:

Only when they appear consecutively do I want to process the message as an ORU using the BPL. Not sure how to go about it and would appreciate any assistance. Thanks

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:

  do ##class(HS.HC.Util.Installer).InstallFoundation(namespace)

to

  Do ##class(HS.Util.Installer.Foundation).Install(namespace)

Announcement Patrick Jamieson · Mar 15, 2021

Hi developers,

We have received quite a lot of interest in using SQL on FHIR data. As you know, FHIR data is encoded in the form of a complex directed graph, and thus you can not easily query it with traditional SQL queries or business intelligence tools. Some customers have noticed that the "FHIR search tables" in IRIS for Health have flattened part of the FHIR graph, and have tried to use them for analytics. This is an undocumented and unsupported part of IRIS for Health, and can change without notice.

Question Ted Guarriello · Aug 17, 2023

Is it possible to "Ping" a remote host in IRIS for Health using ObjectScript? We host hundreds of TCP connections over hundreds of VPNs. I'm working on a project that would make it nice to have way to ping remove clients over the VPN to monitor connectivity and keep the tunnels alive.  

Another thought/method would be to make an OS system call (AWS Linux), but I don't see a way to do that either.

Question Scott Roth · Sep 5, 2023

Currently we are using Delegated Authentication using ZAUTHENTICATE to look at the groups that are associated with a user and if it matches a role within IRIS, to assign the user to that role within IRIS. 

Instead of using ZAUTHENTICATE as custom code, I am looking to use the built-in LDAP Authentication instead. Since I already have two AD Groups called (Access.Ensemble.Developer.User and Access.Ensemble.DataLookup.User) is it possible to config the built in LDAP functionality to look for these groups and assign the users to the correct roles within IRIS without the custom ZAUTHENTICATE?

We are noticing some issues with the communication between our Arbiter and our servers. Looking at the following documentation to limit connections, and logging...https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=GHA_mirror_set_config#GHA_mirror_set_agent_port

if I am configuring the ISCAgent on the arbiter, would we set 

application_server.interface_address=<ip_address>

to each IRIS server? Or does this mean to give it a specific NIC IP Address to use for communication?

InterSystems FAQ rubric

You can avoid the error by specifying a stream object as the argument of %ToJSON() used when generating a JSON string from a dynamic object.

A code example is below.

USER>set temp=##class(%Stream.TmpCharacter).%New()

USER>set jsonobj={}

USER>set jsonobj.pro1=["a","b","c","d"]

USER>set jsonobj.pro2=["あ","い","う","え"]

USER>do jsonobj.%ToJSON(temp)

USER>write temp.Size
51
USER>write temp.Read()
{"pro1":["a","b","c","d"],"pro2":["あ","い","う","え"]}

See also the documentation for details.

With the world (as well as our own technology) moving to the cloud at such a fast pace it is easy (at least for myself) to get caught up in the little details. One thing I, and some clients of ours, had run into a couple of times was the necessity to specify the version of the images one plans to use with the IKO.

For example, one issue that often gets overlooked is the compatibilityVersion field for the IKO. Depending on which IKO you are using there is a default value (for IKO 3.6 this happens to be 2023.2.0, and for IKO 3.5 this is 2022.3.0).

Question Flávio Lúcio Naves Júnior · Sep 5, 2023

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to perform a full backup using DO ^BACKUP, but the database keeps skipping the restoration. Does anyone know what I could do to allow the restoration?

Device: /usr/OLD/BACKUP.cbk
This backup volume was created by:
   IRIS for UNIX (Red Hat Enterprise Linux for x86-64) 2021.1
The volume label contains:
   Volume number      1
   Volume backup      AUG 21 2023 06:45PM Full
   Previous backup
   Last FULL backup
   Description
   Buffer Count       0
Is this the backup you want to start restoring?

Hi All,

Been trying to setup a iris 4 health community version along with a webgateway bothing utilizing docker. The documentation seems a little sparse when it comes to configuring each of these to work together, especially when it comes to utilizing the Webgateway to front end the MGMT pages for Irirs 4 Health.

I know there is a github repo that has a docker compose file, but that doesn't see to provide a light on what needs to be configured in order for it to work.

Question Stefan Pichel · Sep 3, 2023

Hello,

I have set up a Docker image with IrisHealth Community Edition and created a backup of all databases with the Management Portal. Obviously, the restore requires a different way, i.e. a terminal or session needs to be started to use a "Do ^DBREST".

Due to the manual first a session (which is probably same as iristerm terminal) needs to be started:

docker exec -it iris iris session iris

If I enter "DO ^DBREST", I get the answer:

<NOROUTINE> *DBREST.

I assume that when I start the session that way I get logged in as "USER", at least the prompt "USER>" indicates this.

InterSystems FAQ rubric

By specifying the start and end values ​​of the IDs for which you want to rebuild indexes in the arguments of the %BuildIndices() method provided in the persistent class (=table) definition, you can rebuild only the indexes within that range.

For example, to rebuild the NameIDX index and ZipCode index in the Sample.Person class only for ID=10 to 20, execute the following code (the ID range is specified in the 5th and 6th arguments). 

 set status = ##class(Sample.Person).%BuildIndices($LB("NameIDX","ZipCode"),1,,1,10,20

$LB() is the $ListBuild() function.

Question Geoff Lawson · Aug 7, 2023

I'm setting up a web application as CSP/ZEN to host a React SPA.  SPA's typically need to use a fallback page to deal with server requests based on the browser route, unless you use hash routing in the browser code.  Our requirements prevent us from using hash routing, so we need to deal with 404's - redirecting/fallback them to index.html - a very common practice.  I 'think' IRIS uses Apache under the hood, so I tried adding a .htaccess in the applications root directory - which did not work.  I found that CSP has an Error class, https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/documatic/%25CSP.

The FHIR® SQL Builder, or Builder, is a component of InterSystems IRIS for Health. It is a sophisticated projection tool used to create custom SQL schemas using data in an InterSystems IRIS for Health FHIR repository without moving the data to a separate SQL repository. The Builder is designed specifically to work with FHIR repositories and multi-model databases in InterSystems IRIS for Health.

The objective of the Builder is to enable data analysts and business intelligence developers to work with FHIR using familiar analytic tools, without having to learn a new query syntax.

In this article, I am demonstrating how to create a table column(formerly known as properties) with your custom datatype classes by using User defined DDL. Properties are the crucial member of the persistent class definition. Datatypes are essential to define types of values that are stored in a table column. In general, the datatype names of SQL different from Intersystems datatypes, such as VARCHAR = %String. you have the ability to create or modify a table by using these datatypes. Indeed, you’re creating the tables through DDL and you have your own datatype classes are already defined.
