#InterSystems IRIS for Health

Preview releases are now available for the 2020.4 version of InterSystems IRIS, IRIS for Health and IRIS Studio. As this is a preview release, we are eager to learn from your experiences with this new release ahead of its General Availability next month.

We are seeing performance issues in purging objects/tables that have parent-child relationships defined. Due to the number of child objects we're seeing very long duration to purge a single parent and all child tables. Is there a better way to do this and get a more performant purge task? I was thinking to purge the child tables individually first and then delete the parent is one way. Is there any other approach?

Hi,

is it possible to access a property defined as %List from sql? I´d like to search for a object containing a specific value in it´s %List defined property. Is there a predefined sql function for that within IRIS?

best regards,
Sebastian

⏯ Building Health IT Apps with Artificial Intelligence

AWS launched their first generation of Amazon EC2 A1 instances last year, powered by Arm-based AWS Graviton processors. At AWS re:Invent 2019, Amazon announced the second-generation AWS Graviton2 processors and associated Amazon EC2 M6g instance type, boasting up to 40% better price performance over current generation Intel Xeon based M5 instances.

March 23, 2021 – Alert: Potential Data Integrity Issue with Mirror Dejournaling

InterSystems has corrected a defect that can cause data inconsistency issues on non-primary mirror members in extremely rare circumstances. This defect affects all released versions of InterSystems products.

Introduction

InterSystems has recently completed a performance and scalability benchmark of IRIS for Health 2020.1, focusing on HL7 version 2 interoperability. This article describes the observed throughput for various workloads, and also provides general configuration and sizing guidelines for systems where IRIS for Health is used as an interoperability engine for HL7v2 messaging.

Hi Community!

⏯ Overview: Connecting Devices to InterSystems IRIS for Health

One of the REST APIs we need to call takes one of request parameter as a byte array. I am trying to create a message class and couldnt figure out which is equivalent type that corresponds to Byte[]. I need to read from a jpg file and then convert it to byte[] before i invoke this webservice. Appreciate if anyone can point me in the right direction. I can use %Stream.FileBinary class to store the jpg file after loading from a file. trying to figure out how to convert that to byte[].

Thank you,

Ravi

Purpose

Most CloudFormation articles are Linux-based (no wonder), but there seems to be a demand for automation for Windows as well. Based on this original article by Anton, I implemented an example of deploying a mirror cluster to Windows servers using CloudFormation.I also added a simple walk through.
The complete source code can be found here.

Update: 2021 March 1 I added a way to connect to Windows shell by public key authentication via a bastion host as a one-liner.

My response definition is below.  I keep getting ERROR #9406: Unexpected format for value of field, physicianFirstName, using class base mapping. Any ideas would be helpful.

response: 

What do you think If I will say you, that very soon you will be able to connect to IRIS from the application written in Rust.

What is Rust

Rust is a multi-paradigm programming language designed for performance and safety, especially safe concurrency. Rust is syntactically similar to C++, but can guarantee memory safety by using a borrow checker to validate references. Rust achieves memory safety without garbage collection, and reference counting is optional. (c) Wikipedia

Most loved language for the last five years by the time of StackOverflow survey 2020.

What is possible right now.

The purpose of this article is to explain how the Interoperability menu works for system integration.

The left side of the figure is the window for accepting information sent from external systems.

There are various ways to receive information, such as monitoring the specified directory at regular intervals to read files, periodically querying the database, waiting for input, or directly calling and having it passed from applications in other systems.

This article is a continuation of this post.

In the previous article, how the Interoperability menu works for system integration was explained.

In this article, I would like to explain how to develop a system integration using the Interoperability menu.

To begin with, what kind of process do you want to create? While thinking about this, make the following content.

• Production
• Message
• Components
  • Business Services
  • Business Processes
  • Business Operations

This article is a follow-up to this post.

In the previous article, [What is a Production?], we checked the production contents. We ran the sample code and checked the flowing messages' contents into the production on the Visual Trace page.

This article will review the concept and the definition of the messages used to send and receive data between components from the required development content for system integration.

• Production[ previous post ]
• Message
• Components
  • Business Services
  • Business Processes
  • Business Operations

Before creating a message, let's review the case study.

This article is a continuation of this post.

In the previous article, we reviewed how to create and define messages used to send and receive data between components.

In this article, I will explain how to create a business operation from the component creation methods.

• Production
• Message（previous article）
• Components
  • Business Services
  • Business Processes
  • Business Operations

We will quickly check the code by referring to the sample.。

This article is a continuation of this post.

In the previous article, we discussed business operations' creation from the components required for system integration.

In this article, you will learn how to create a business process that calls the two business operations you have defined in the sequence order.

• Production
• Message
• Components
  • Business Services
  • Business Processes
  • Business Operations (previous post)

The business process acts as the coordinator (command center) of the process.

The processing adjustments you may want to implement in the sample include the following:

This article is a continuation of this post.

In the previous article, we discussed the development of business processes, which are part of the components required for system integration and serve as a production coordinator.

This article will discuss creating a business service, which is the information input window for production.

• Production
• Message
• Components
  • Business services
  • Business processes（previous post）
  • Business operation

And finally, the last component of “Let's Use Interoperability!”

Hello, developers!

In this article, we will focus on OAuth2, a protocol that is increasingly being used in combination with FHIR to perform authorization.

In this part 1, we will start up the Docker container for IRIS for Health and Apache, configure the OAuth2 authorization server function on IRIS for Health, access it from the REST development tool Postman, and obtain an access token. Besides, in Part 2 and beyond, we will add FHIR repository functionality to IRIS for Health, add OAuth2 resource server configuration, and explain how to execute FHIR requests with access tokens from Postman.

Hello all,

Is there any command or way to update the versionid on windows similar to  the "iris update <instance> versionid=<version>" on linux?

Today we had an issue where a couple of our IRIS "processes" had a status of "Dead".  

How do I configure IRIS so that, when that happens, IRIS will log an event to messages.log or alerts.log?

We are forwarding the contents of both of those logs to Splunk for analysis, and I'd like to be able to see those events in there as well.

Hi, I am trying to filter transactions based on a value within OBX 3.1 and OBX 5.1 within the same repeating segment.  The segment looks like this

Hi All,

I hope someone can help me with the following, it's about the usage of the class EnsLib.HL7.Service.HTTPService.

Working situation right know.

In IIS we've got a site configured who is dealing with the client certificate, etc and redirect the full request to http://localhost/csp/healthshare/NAMEPSACE/EnsLib.HL7.Service.HTTPServi… and the web gateway redirects the request to Business Service 'EnsLib.HL7.Service.HTTPService.cls'.

Preferred situation:

Hi Team,

~ sign is not rendering/displaying in HL 7 file.

InterSystems has identified an issue with product distributions containing Certificate Authority certificates that expire at the end of 2020. This issue does not affect system operation or system security in any way, although it does generate alerts about expiring certificates in the cconsole.log or messages.log files. The messages may be ignored and there are instructions below to eliminate them.

The issue affects the following versions:

Hi,

While Configuring Intersystems Cache in Intersystems IRIS Health, some of the background jobs are not running.

Eg: Job for Calculator process. Is License key necessary to run the jobs? Anyother changes need to run the jobs. 

Thanks.

I want to create simple CSP page with some fields to filter and a table in the page that shows results from a table. Where to start any tips

Hi Community! 

I'm sharing a little tool (REST service) to download interoperability messages from your browser.

You only need to:

1. Create a web application in Management Portal (e.g. /downloadmsg) and set DispatchClass=Util.DownloadMsg.
2. Call the tool using your browser passing the namespace and the message header id to download. http://localhost:52773/downloadmsg/ns/mydev/msgid/17441
