#InterSystems IRIS for Health

Hi Developers!

Recently we published on Docker Hub images for InterSystems IRIS Community Edition and InterSystems IRIS Community for Health containers.

What is that?

There is a repository that publishes it, and in fact, it is the same container IRIS Community Edition containers you have on official InterSystems listing which have the pre-loaded ObjectScript Package Manager (ZPM) client.

So if you run this container with IRIS CE or IRIC CE for Health you can immediately start using ZPM and install packages from Community Registry or any others.

What does this mean for you?

It means, that anyone can deploy any of your InterSystems ObjectScript application in 3 commands:

• run IRIS container;
• open terminal;
• install your application as ZPM package.

It is safe, fast and cross-platform.

It's really handy if you want to test a new interesting ZPM package and not harm any of your systems.

Suppose, you have docker-desktop installed.  You can run the image, which wiil pull the latest container if you don't have it locally:

Hi Developers!

Many of you are looking for samples on how to work with InterSystems IRIS Analytics, formerly known as DeepSee.

There is a Samples BI module with Patients and Holefoods examples which is available on Github with source code. The installation steps are clear but take time. 

Recently we added the option to run IRIS Community Edition containers with ObjectScript Package Manager (ZPM) on board. This simplifies the installation to the "run-one-command" step for the modules submitted to ZPM Community Registry. And thus we can benefit the Samples BI installation with ZPM.

And here is how you can run it on your laptop.  Let's go!

Hello,

I have a record map and batch class being passed to an EnsLib.RecordMap.Operation.BatchFileOperation.

They are designated as INFORMATION.FPL.Record and INFORMATION.FPL.Header

After reaching the operation it errors out with this message : ERROR <Ens>ErrGeneral: Quitting with error on Message body 5@INFORMATION.FPL.Record / 54 because Status 'ERROR <EnsRecordMap>ErrNoBatchParent: Record with class 'INFORMATION.FPL.Record' and Id '54' doesn't belong to a batch' matched ReplyCodeAction 1 : 'E=F' resulting in Action code F

Some screen grabs are attached of my configuration.

Any help is

I'm currently working with a developer to add IRIS/Caché functionality to his HL7 analysis tool that would allow its users to extract messages directly from the Ensemble message store.IRIS for Health Community Edition has been a great aid in debugging this, but I keep banging into the 5 connection license limit with Studio, the Management Portal, an IRIS terminal session and a client database connection using either ODBC or ADO.NET.

Hi,

My customer is implementing HL7 validation using EnsLib.HL7.Util.Validator.Validate in an HL7 production.
They set validation spec "dmr-z" because they want to allow unrecognized Z-segments and verify the presence of required fields.
Despite using "-z", Z-segments are not allowed and the following error occurs:
<Ens> ErrGeneral: Cannot validate segment schemas without a category.Unable to validate segment 8: ZPR.
Aside to that, when the verification spec is “dm-z”, the Z-segment is allowed as expected.
Can 't "r" and "-z" be used together? 
Is there any other way to implement both validations?

Hi Everyone,

Please welcome the new Global Summit 2019 video on InterSystems Developers YouTube Channel:

⏯ Using IoT in InterSystems IRIS for Health

I want to add ports 9100 and 9101 in addition to 52773. I read on docker container documentation that this is not possible on a already ran image. Currently it starts the google cloud IRIS health container automatically without me able to specify the additional ports. How can I add ports to Google cloud IRIS Health container?

⏯ Showcase: InterSystems IRIS Directions

¡Hi everybody!

As you likely are aware, the new version of InterSystems IRIS for Health (I4H) it's already available in Docker Hub. It's the Community version and is free and fully functional. There have been comments about it in other articles and posts,... so today I won't add anything about features. Here I want to explore "the mistery about the disappearance, or better, absence of our persistent data when we run a container with the durable option"  (I didn't find a terrifying font to emphasize the thriller... post editor is not terrific for styling ) .

InterSystems has corrected a defect that can cause shadowing to fail with an access violation. In rare cases, the defect can cause memory corruption, leading to unpredictable behavior. 

Note: The defect does not affect mirroring.

This defect affects:

• InterSystems IRIS 2019.1.1 and 2019.3
• IRIS for Health 2019.1.1 and 2019.3
• HealthShare Health Connect 2019.1.1
• HealthShare Health Connect (HSAP) 15.032 on 2018.1.3
• Caché and Ensemble 2018.1.3

In InterSystems IRIS and IRIS for Health, shadowing code is included, but it should not be used; InterSystems recommends using mirroring, which is not

In time for InterSystems Global Summit 2019 we at George James Software are pleased to offer a cloud-hosted evaluation environment where you can work with Serenji in Visual Studio Code, editing and debugging ObjectScript in a sandbox running InterSystems IRIS 2019.3 Community edition.

You can do it all from your web browser. Nothing will be installed on your workstation, nor will any settings have to be changed on it.

Some time ago I developed an application that tackled a familarial problem faced by many developers when required to update multiple UAT or PRODUCTION sites with the latest Software patches that have been developed and tested on your DEV server and now need to be deployed to multiple sites running that software.

In principle the solution works as follows:

1) Prepare an XML export of affected classes/routines/csp pages/hl7 definitions et al

2) Optionally create a global export of any new globals or changes to existing globals

3) a class that contains a collection of methods where each method

Hello InterSystems Community,

We're excited to announce that we've completed our first Open Exchange submission for InterSystems platforms.

BridgeWorks VDM is an ad hoc reporting and graphical SQL query builder application that was designed for any user who needs access to their SQL projections in InterSystems Caché, InterSystems IRIS, InterSystems IRIS for Health databases as well as access to InterSystems DeepSee and InterSystems IRIS BI Cubes with minimal SQL scripting experience.  

VDM features:

• Drag and a drop query builder
• Interactive Data and Pivot grids
• Charting and Gauges
• Data

Database systems have very specific backup requirements that in enterprise deployments require forethought and planning. For database systems, the operational goal of a backup solution is to create a copy of the data in a state that is equivalent to when application is shut down gracefully.  Application consistent backups meet these requirements and Caché provides a set of APIs that facilitate the integration with external solutions to achieve this level of backup consistency.

I am getting this with %RCHANGE:

1. Change every: Cache to: IRIS
2. Change every:

Hello, 

Astronaut, LLC needs Meaningful Use QRDA c1 requirement passed. We do not have a spare engineering team to write it all from scratch.  Indian Health Service RPMS https://code.osehra.org/journal/journal/view/1576 has it in the public domain as a sub application called eCQM.We would like to backport eCQM to its close cousin our Veterans Affairs(VA) VistA variant Astronaut VistA. We would first like to simply get eCQM working in its native environment before attempting to back port to Astronaut VistA. RPMS currently uses Cache and Ensemble.I've been directed to use IRIS.

I am sending a PUT FHIR message for a CodeSystem Resource using the defailt Service and server that was installed when I installed the FHIR on the NameSpace.

When I try to use the FHIR Request "id" property it is empty; e.g. pFHIRRequest.id is EMPTY. I really need to get this value, how can I get it?

I added a trace ion both the HS.FHIR.Service and HS.FHIR.Server.Process, details to follow:

The trace in HS.FHIR.Service is as follows, this is inside the OnProcessInput where the Id is validated I added the "else", it prints the line in the "else" and the result is an EMPTY input.id (nothing):

InterSystems has corrected several critical defects that can result in data integrity issues. These defects were identified and corrected within a short time, so InterSystems has simplified the upgrade process by consolidating them into a single package. The effects of encountering these defects may not always be visible. These defects affect InterSystems IRIS, IRIS for Health, Health Connect, Caché, Ensemble, and HealthShare products. All of these defects relate to the application of journal data.

InterSystems recommends that you review this document.

Greetings community. I would like to know how to migrate a BD in production to a local environment. When I have a system in production (BD Sql Server) what we do is mount a local copy to do the analysis with the data and not occupy resources of the system in production. My question is: How do you do it with Intersystems technology? I already tested the PowerBi connector and it looks great, but that's where the question came up.

Would you like to be sure your data transforms work as expected with a single command? And what about writing unit tests for your data transforms in a quick and simple way? 

When talking about interoperability, there are usually a lot of data transforms involved. Those data transforms are used to convert data between different systems or applications in your code, so they are running a very important job.

Testing strategies

Having a look at the concept of Test Pyramid and some articles about it, we can have a quick idea that having a solid base of low level cheaper automated tests is a better

Looking at the DTL, we can pretty much understand what the provided mapping from FHIR to SDA3.

But, is there any Intersystems document, where the mapping To/From FHIR is documented, at least FHIR to SDA3 ?

Hi, 

What is a Foundation Production and what does it do?

We are currently on HealthShare Health Connect  15.03 and we are starting the process of moving to HealthShare Health Connect 2019.1.

The 2019.1 Installation Guide is pretty clear that it is essential, but I'm having trouble working out exactly what it does?

Leading on from this is what should I call it?

From the installation guide: 

5. For Local Name, enter the name that will identify the Foundation production. This name will become the namespace that contains the class definitions for the production

So the name I give it will be the name
