#InterSystems IRIS for Health

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

Hi,

    I am new  to fhir framework, I have searched articles to write graphql API using FHIR i did not get any proper tutorial for this. I need to find better tutorial or articles for this.  I have written API using graphql, typescript with mongodb. Can some one tell why we need resourcetype, identifier in fhir.

    Also i have tried github code based on fhir using javascript. The source code i got from "https://github.com/Asymmetrik/graphql-fhir" here i tried to save patient informations

     mutation{
  PatientCreate(id: "PatientMani", resource: {
    resourceType: Patient
    name: [{

Hi -

I was recently working with an HL7 message processing production, and some of the HL7 messages were failing the HL7 message router's configured validation.In this basic context, the messages were delivered and then the router would log an event for the message and move on to the next message in the inbound queue.

Every developer has made the mistake of accidentally leaving temporary debug code in place when they meant to remove it after debugging is complete.  The great thing about writing in ObjectScript is that there is a way to make temporary code be truly temporary and automatically self-destruct!   This can also be done in such a way that the code has no change of making it into your source control stream, which can be helpful as well.

The secret to this lies in making use of the "Intermediate code" (.INT) which is generated when you compile classes (.CLS), routine code (.MAC) or CSP pages (.CSP).

Hi All, I'm in the process of trying to rollout the git version control system with our current code base within Atelier.  We use Ensemble to develop interfaces but are looking to move to IRIS in the near future.  Our code is structured similar to below:

My initial thoughts are that we would have three repositories. One for DEV, TEST and PROD.

I am playing with the FHIR Sandbox.

I want to sort the patients returned in the bundle from the Patient search using the _sort (according to FHIR standard the _sort parameter is what should be used to sort), but I get: "Invalid request URL parameter _sort specified"

So I am having to assume that InterSystems did not implement _sort.

Or it may be a named something else, why I say so is that there is something else that they "renamed", that is the "stateId" they renamed to "queryId", this refers to the stateId returned in the "Link" URL of the bundle with which you fetch subsequent pages, they

This week I am going to look at CPU, one of the primary hardware food groups :) A customer asked me to advise on the following scenario; Their production servers are approaching end of life and its time for a hardware refresh. They are also thinking of consolidating servers by virtualising and want to right-size capacity either bare-metal or virtualized. Today we will look at CPU, in later posts I will explain the approach for right-sizing other key food groups - memory and IO.

So the questions are:

• How do you translate application requirements on a processor from more than five years ago to

Hi everyone,

I am pleased to announce that the Evaluation Service is now LIVE!

If you are an InterSystems End User or an InterSystems Partner and you want to try the latest version of IRIS with all its enterprise features (mirroring, ECP and sharding), and you want it NOW, this is for you.

The Evaluation Service allows you to get your hands on an IRIS kit and a very powerful IRIS license for evaluation purposes in less than 1 minute. No paperwork. No need to talk to anyone. Fully self-service.

This service is only for IRIS and IRIS for Health and it is very easy to use.

InterSystems has corrected a defect in applications that use Unicode character 223 (ß). This defect can result in incomplete query results, class compilation errors, and removal of custom SQL privileges.

This problem occurs on systems that are running or have previously run on:

• Caché and Ensemble 2018.1.0, 2018.1.1, and 2018.1.2
• HealthShare Health Connect (HSAP) 15.032 on Core versions 2018.1.0, 2018.1.1, and 2018.1.2
• HealthShare Health Connect 2019.1
• InterSystems IRIS data platform – all currently released versions
• InterSystems IRIS for Health – all currently released versions

The defect is triggered by data and component names containing Unicode character 223 (ß). In the versions listed above, an uppercase conversion incorrectly maps that character to Unicode character 7838 (ẞ).  Applications perform this uppercase conversion using features such as $ZCONVERT and %SQLUPPER.

Problems can occur when accessing data or classes created or modified on a product with a different uppercase conversion than the one currently in use.

Preview kits are now published via the WRC's preview download site for:

• InterSystems IRIS 2019.1.1
• InterSystems IRIS for Health 2019.1.1
• HealthShare Health Connect 2019.1.1

The build number for these releases is 2019.1.1.608.0.

This is a maintenance release and includes changes in a number of areas, as described in the online documentation here.

It also includes three new features, described in the online documentation here:

• Support for the InterSystems API Manager,
• In-place conversion from Caché and Ensemble to InterSystems IRIS
• X12 element validation.

This release also adds

Hello All.

In need of some help.

We are currently migrating Interfaces from JCAPS to HealthConnect 19.1 and have done a lot of work on our Dev server.  I am looking to copy/export this work over to the Test server and have managed to export the production and Rules, HL7 custom Schemas etc.  The only thing left now are the Data Transformations but so far I can only find ways of copying the transformations over individually.  Is there some way to copy all of the transformations we have produced in our namespace to another server in one go?  

Thanks

Hi Community!

New video is already on InterSystems Developers YouTube Channel:

InterSystems Platforms and FHIR STU3

Has you may know, EnsDemo from Ensemble are not available anymore on IRIS.

This is a good thing, Iris is cloud oriented, it must be light, fast. Now the new way of sharing samples or modules is through git, continuous integration and OpenExchange.

But, in some cases you want to go back to your good old samples from EnsDemo to get inspiration or best practices.

Good news, there is a git for that :

• https://github.com/grongierisc/InstallEnsDemoLite

How to use it ?

Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/grongierisc/InstallEnsDemoLite.git

And run install.sh

sh install.sh <IRIS Instance>

This is more for my memory that anything else but I thought I'd share it because it often comes up in comments, but is not in the InterSystems documentation. 

There is a wonderful utility called ^REDEBUG that increases the level of logging going into mgr\cconsole.log. 

You activate it by

a) start terminal/login

b) zn "%SYS"

c) do ^REDEBUG

d) change logging level to FFFFFFFF

if you are on you production system (with lots of traffic) I suggest you quickly reproduce the error, rename the cconsole.log file, and repeat the steps above to set the logging level to FF.

InterSystems has corrected a memory leak in applications that pass by reference to a formal parameter that accepts a variable number of arguments.

This problem exists for:

• InterSystems IRIS Data Platform – all currently released versions
• InterSystems IRIS for Health – all currently released versions
• HealthShare Health Connect 2019.1.0

If this defect occurs, the process partition will eventually be exhausted, resulting in a <STORE> error.

The defect occurs if application code calls a subroutine passing an argument by reference to a parameter that accepts a variable number of arguments

Hello,

I'm new to Iris for Health and I'm trying to get some experience using it.  I've subscribed to the Intersystems Iris for Health software in AWS marketplace.  I successfully spun up the EC2 instance with the default security group.  The try-iris instance is healthy and successfully starts within EC2.  I've also successfully changed the default password too.

 However, I'm unable to authenticate into the management portal.  The portal launches okay though I keep getting an access denied.  I'm also unable to authenticate into a session from the EC2 instance.

Has anyone run into this issue

Hi Community!

This is the update on what are the new applications submitted on OpenExchange in March 2019

New Applications

isc-tar  published by @Dmitry Maslennikov 

Compact files as TAR or Extract files from TAR files

Light weight EXCEL download v.1.0 published by @Robert Cemper 

This is the working example of a light weight export to EXCEL based on data in SAMPLES namespace. Good old CSP is well equipped to produce HTML tables accepted from EXCEL as input. With modern Browsers you don't even need and tags. So the required code around your SQL result set is really slim. And you are free to add any formatting you need either by HTML or in SQL.

PythonGateway v.0.7 published by @Eduard Lebedyuk 

Python Gateway for InterSystems Data Platforms.

Adopted Bitmaps v.1.0 published by @Robert Cemper 

This is a running example of the Bitmap Adoption

WebSockets Tutorial v.1.0 published by @Lily Taub 

A short tutorial on WebSockets in InterSystems IRIS 2018.1+ and Caché 2016.2+

Sync Data with DSTIME v.1.0.0 published by @Robert Cemper

Other Sync-Tools just work from Caché/IRIS to Caché/IRIS. Synchronizing your data to some external DB you requires some other solution. DSTIME can do it.

HL7 and SMS Interoperability Demo v.1.3 published by @Amir Samary 

This demo shows how easy it is to integrate an Electronic Medical Record system that is sending HL7 messages with AWS.

We can load a CCDA xml document into SDA3 object.

Once parsing SDA3 object, how do we determine from which XPATH from CCDA the specific SDA3 elements were mapped to.

Is there any way?
