Hi Community,
In this article, I will introduce Python Flask Web Framework. Together we will create a minimal web application to connect to IRIS and get data from it.
Below you can find the steps we will need to follow:

• Step 1 : Introduction to Python Flask Web Framework
• Step 2 : Installation of Flask module
• Step 3 : Creation of web application using Flask
• Step 4 : Use of HTML Templates 
• Step 5 : Installation of IRIS Python Native module
• Step 6 : Establishment of a connection with IRIS 
• Step 7 : Transferring data from IRIS to Flask and displaying it

So Let's start with step 1

Step1-Introduction to Python Flask Web Framework 

Flask is a small and lightweight Python web framework that provides useful tools and features that make creating web applications in Python easier. It gives developers flexibility and is a more accessible framework for new developers since it allows to build a web application quickly using only a single Python file. Flask is also extensible and doesn’t requires a particular directory structure or complicated boilerplate code before getting started.

I'm trying to get an ACK routed to a different process in our Test environment and here is the router setup:

I have a rule in the target router to send to an operation.

The problem I'm running into is that the HL7 ACK coming back is marked as "Discarded", so it's not even getting to the second router.

This is the ACK message:

I've tried everything I can think of, but once the ACK hits the router, it gets marked as discarded and then things just stop.

I am happy to share with you my first experience of using a docker container version of IRIS for Health to explore your interest in using or having a trial by taking the advantage of a docker container that is lightweight, and easy to deploy. This cookbook will go through the implementation steps using the GitHub repository called ENSDEMO written by Renan Lourenco.

Steps for setting up an IRIS for Health Community Edition docker container environment

1. Docker up and running
2. Download the docker image

docker pull containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/irishealth-community:2022.2.0.304.

Hey Community, 

In this demonstration you will see the building blocks of an integration in InterSystems IRIS for Health and HealthShare and see how messages are received, processed, and sent—including messages in the HL7 format:

Date and Time is an important factors in our life. Because all applications are engaging based on Date/Time. But our world is split into multiple time zones. if our product is launched in the world, to maintain the history of events we are definitely required to convert all times to our local time or UTC ( Coordinated Universal Time ). As I know, many known programming languages of C#, JavaScript, Java, etc., provided the library to convert the date and time. i.e with a time zone name we can be able to convert without knowing the UTC offset.

TZ database doesn't exist in InterSystems products.

In addition to the new supported platforms (Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and RHEL 9), Community Edition limits will soon be updated to:

• Maximum cores: 20
• Maximum connections: 8 

NOTE: These limits aren't available yet for the latest developer preview build 2022.2.0.322.0. It's expected to the Developer Preview 7, to be released by next week.

Hello Developers!

To start our "Back to school on FHIR with DC FR" we propose you to watch this short video about FHIR:

⏯ The Future of Care Begins with InterSystems and FHIR

Hello,

I'm using CircleCI to spin up the image `store/intersystems/irishealth-community:2021.2.0.649.0`.

When building the application we are getting messages that say:

ERROR #5373: Class 'EnsLib.HL7.Message', used by 'Package.Class', does not exist
Skip class Package.Class

Other missing classes seem to include, but not limited to:

Ens.BusinessProcessBPL
Ens.BusinessService
EnsLib.RecordMap.ComplexChild
EnsLib.EDI.XML.Document
Ens.

InterSystems IRIS for Health ENSDEMO

Yet another basic setup of ENSDEMO content into InterSystems IRIS for Health.

Make sure you have Docker up and running before starting.

Setup

Clone the repository to your desired directory

git clone https://github.com/OneLastTry/irishealth-ensdemo.git

Once the repository is cloned, execute:

Always make sure you are inside the main directory to execute docker-compose commands.

I’m a complete novice with ObjectScript.

I’m trying to write some Object Script directly into command line interface on Linux using some examples on the internet

sudo -u irisowner iris session SCRTC

Username: superuser

Password: ************

AUMHSCRTC:USER>a SET x=1

AUMHSCRTC:USER> WHILE x<10 {

AUMHSCRTC:USER> WRITE !," Looping",x

AUMHSCRTC:USER> SET x=x+1

AUMHSCRTC:USER> }

AUMHSCRTC:USER> WRITE !,"DONE"

AUMHSCRTC:USER>do a

 Looping1

 Looping2

 Looping3

 Looping4

 Looping5

 Looping6

 Looping7

 Looping8

 Looping9

DONE

That seems to work!

How if I put these commands into a file:

cat > /tmp/a.

Hello,

I need to run some clean up routine in the background so loss of my terminal session won't stop the process.

I found the JOB command in the documentation.
JOB | ObjectScript Reference | InterSystems IRIS Data Platform 2022.1
When I try it, it doesn't seem to be doing much. I also expected this to become visible in the Background Tasks but that doesn't happen either.

Probably I am missing something.

This is the command I am running:
JOB ##class(HIHLib.Support.GetHL7MessageStat).ISBListingQuery("2017-01-01","2017-02-01",0,"WAHISCL",-1,0)::10

The same command without the ::10 has the same effect.

Hi everyone!

I am recruiting on a fully remote Intersystems Developer.  This role will be a long term contract to begin with high likelihood of extensions or conversion permanent.  Please check out the job description down below and feel free to send me an email with your resume: Spencer.Frey@insightglobal.com 

The Healthcare Integration Developer is responsible for designing, developing, and deploying the complex near real-time and real-time data interoperability solutions using Healthcare industry-standard data formats/specifications (HL7, FHIR, EDI, etc.).

Background 

Most websites have a "Fav.ico" file that sets what the icon is for the webpage. Most users have multiple environments, Dev/Test/Live. Often it can be difficult at a glance to see which environment you are in at a time. Wouldn't it be nice to visually see what version you are in? In this example all the instances are called the same and are named "ENSEMBLE". Note that this is certainly IRIS FOR HEALTH as is used on 2022.

Upgraded IRIS/Connect to 2022.1 and /api/atelier no longer works through a Web/CSPGateway.  Also upgraded the Web/CSPGateway to version WebGateway-2022.1.0.152.0 on Ubuntu and HTTPD Server version: Apache/2.4.29 (Ubuntu) with no luck as well.

It doesnt seem to matter if I add /api/atelier or /api/monitor to the enabled applications list, these routes do not make it back to the instance, however /csp, /csp/sys still does.

Am I missing a step in this upgrade process to serve these apps through Web/CSPGateway in the new kit version?

I am using $Query to loop through a global. 

When I use $GET to get the data all we get back is the global name. 

How do you get the value of the global after you have looped. 

Below is my example in terminal. 

Thank you in advance 

Set node = $Query(^FromExtraMed("")) 

w node
^FromExtraMed("A02",9220)

If i try w $GET(node) it returns 

^FromExtraMed("A02",9220)

If i had this hardcoded it would have got the value

w $GET(^FromExtraMed("A02",9220))
0,66340,2120

I have already read the documentation and it is not clear. Can someone advise? 

I am receiving batched results in an EDIFACT file. I need to debatch and send individual HL7 out. I have built a DTL to read the first instance of a result from EDIFACT and that generates an ORU^R01 as desired, but I have no idea how to make the DTL loop and send multiple HL7 messages outbound.

I did go down the path of stripping the first instance of a result from the EDIFACT, then sending the now truncated EDIFACT data back to itself. This works well in theory but I then need a while loop in the Rule Editor, and I cannot seem to access the source.

We are looking for a 3rd party application that can scan our IRIS based Cache Object Script code for vulnerabilities or coding weaknesses.  There are many, many applications/vendors out there that do code scanning but none seem to support Cache Object Script or scanning the IRIS environment.   If anyone is aware of a company/product that can scan our code / IRIS environment, I would love to hear about it.

Thanks in advance for the help.

I am trying to import a large base64 string into objects but I can't seem to get it to work:

ClassMethod Test() As %Status
{
Set readerForItkRequestData = ##class(%XML.Reader).%New()
 
Set file="c:\Source\test_full.xml"
 
Set status = readerForItkRequestData.OpenFile(file)
Do readerForItkRequestData.Correlate("Envelope","Phu.Epro.Schema.Itk.Envelope")
set temp = readerForItkRequestData.Next(.pOutput,.tStatus)
Do pOutput.%Save()

}

The class I'm trying to project to: 

Class Phu.Epro.Schema.Itk.Payload Extends (%Persistent, %XML.

In this GitHub we gather information from a csv, use a DataTransformation to make it into a FHIR object and then, save that information to a FHIR server all that using only Python.

The objective is to show how easy it is to manipulate data into the output we want, here a FHIR Bundle, in the IRIS full Python framework.

Hi all,

I am trying to test the IAM locally, but I came to a issue. When I turned on the the Basic Authentication, I get an 503 Service Unavailable.
error.

This is the scenario/setup:

• Because I am new to IRIS I need a test sample in IRIS where I can get data from. So I use this tutorial: https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=AFL_rest#AFL_rest_exercise. It works, I can make direct calls to IRIS via Postman.
• Because the goal is to test IAM, I setup the IAM with: https://openedx.learning.intersystems.
