#InterSystems IRIS for Health

Preview releases are now available for the 2020.1 version of InterSystems IRIS and IRIS for Health!

Kits and Container images are available via the WRC's preview download site.

The build number for these releases is 2020.1.0.199.0.  (Note: first release was build 197, updated to 199 on 2/12/20)

InterSystems IRIS Data Platform 2020.

InterSystems has corrected a defect that can result in skipping a transaction rollback. This can only occur after activation or addition of a mirrored database on a primary mirror member.

This problem exists for:

• Caché and Ensemble 2018.1.3
• InterSystems IRIS data platform 2019.1.1, 2019.3, and 2019.4
• InterSystems IRIS for Health 2019.1.1, 2019.3, and 2019.4
• HealthShare Health Connect 2019.1.1

The conditions necessary for this defect to be triggered are quite specific. All of the following must apply:

• A database has been newly activated or added to a mirror on a primary mirror member.

Hi guys,

I thought I test the InterSystems IRIS for Health 2020.1, the Docker image. but for some reason, the container only lives for about 10 seconds and I can see from the message.log file that as soon as IRIS starts it then performs shutdown thus ending also container. Anyone else seen this?

here is the message.log part

Hi Community,

⏯ Collecting Healthcare Data with Alexa

Hi All -   I want to share with the community a project I recently posted in OpenExchange, that extends on the Business Activity Monitoring features available with InterSystems IRIS’s integration  framework. I have called this REST Business Activity Monitoring, and is implemented via a set of zaux.rBAM.* classes.

Hi everyone,

I am very pleased to announce that the Readmission Demo has been released as open source. Many thanks to the Solution Factory team that worked hard on making this possible.

Here are the changes:

• It is now running on top of IRIS Community 2019.3.0.308.0.
• It has synthetic data based on Synthea instead of the real data we were using before. But the machine learning models are 100% real
• Image RRLACESrv has been renamed to “image-riskengine”
• Image “readmissionsrv” has been renamed to “image-risksrv"
• We refactored a lot of the code on image-riskengine to look better.

Hi all,
I'm having issues with mounting custom database on top of IRISHealth 2019.1 docker container. Data gets mounted only in Read-only mode. This means read operations are successful but I couldn't make the image  with databases mounted  in Read/write, both modes. Is anyone having similar issue?

When reading %GlobalBinaryStream into a %String I am aware therte is a size limit of 3,6MB.

My question is since %Binary is underlying a %String is there a limit on this as well?

Can I safely read any size %GlobalBinaryStream into a %Binary?

Hi I am getting this message for some databases but not for others:  This database is mounted as read-only due to 'Failed to access iris.lck file'! and not for others on Google Cloud community non-health edition. 

For example this default database displays the message: Name    IRISLIB Directory    /usr/irissys/mgr/irislib/

But this default database does not:  Name    IRISSYS Directory    /ISC/dur/mgr/

I have loaded IHS FOIA RPMS and am getting the message and <PROTECT> errors when running programs. Permissions on disk look ok to me, changed to the same as the default databases.

Updated 1/30/2020

*** The affected product versions have changed ***

*** The affected versions are Caché and Ensemble beginning with 2016.2.0.  ***

*** Caché and Ensemble 2016.1.0 is not at risk for this defect ***

InterSystems has corrected a defect that can cause database degradation in extremely rare circumstances. Associated problems may include, but are not limited to, incorrect or missing application data and system hangs.

This defect affects:

• All versions of InterSystems IRIS and IRIS for Health
• Caché/Ensemble versions beginning with 2016.2.

hi,

Product: 

i am using a TCP Inbound  Adapter with call interval set to 5.

To my understanding this means that the adapter check to see if there any connections to the port every 5 seconds.

But i am getting error  "No Connection made on port 12123 within interval 5"

The sending application connections to the port happen at no specific interval, what are the recommended setting for call interval?.

Thanks

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.

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?

BridgeWorks is pleased to announce a VDM, v9.1.0.1.

Hi Developers,

The new video from Global Summit 2019 is already on InterSystems Developers YouTube:

⏯ 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.

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.

To take Serenji for a test drive please visit https://georgejames.com/dc-gitpod

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.

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.

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:

RPMS 28d1>D ^%RCHANGE

This routine changes all occurrences of a string in
routines/include files.

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

Routine(s): %*
Routine(s):

Then I get these types of messages: 

This routine is mapped to another database, are you sure you want to change it??
 No => yes%DIRFULL.INT

Hi, I have Atelier working. When I try to search the entire RPMS code base for Cache to replace with IRIS I get this on Altelier search:

An internal error occurred during: "Atelier Search".

I want to edit this routine to replace "Cache" with "IRIS" how do I do that in Intersystems Google Cloud environment?  The portal  System > Routines doesn't seem to show much.

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.
